I just got a Verizon phone and wanted to activate it on the Alltel network.

However, when I go online to change the ESN/MEID number over, it says this:

Unfortunately, there's an error with your request. The ESN/MEID is associated with another wireless carrier, a wireless Internet card, an analog phone, or a non-e911 compliant phone. For assistance, please call Customer Service.

I called to get the ESN changed over, and the lady asked me to do *228 to activate, which I knew wouldn't work from a Verizon phone...

((I already programed the phone with my number ssid and everything.))

Any advice as to what I can do? Anyone I can talk to to get the phone changed over?

I just activated an LG Dare on the Alltel network. I called and told them I had the LG Glimmer and I wanted to activate it. They walked me right through its activation. Give them the meid number and it shouldn't be a problem. Also, you will only be able to use the phone and sms messaging capabilities of the phone until the switch.

try using *22801 or *22800 and make sure your system settings are set to home only or it won't work when it says welcome to alltel just press 3 and it will program your phone then hang up do the same thing *22800 or *22801 then use option 2 this will give you alltels prl which wont require you to roam
