I guess you could give Verizon a ring and ask what the heck is going on.
Verizon marks phones for unpaid bills and other stupid ****. They black listed my Droid Incredible because I terminated my contract for the Nexus. DINC is literally a brick now.

That DINC can be used on alternate networks like cricket or metropcs that accept foreign esns... it not really hard to flash/reprogram them if you look a little bit.. that's the reason they are sold on craigslist all the time.
Before I took the plunge and bought a new GSM GNex for the $30 tmobile plan, that's I'll I did is buy bad esn phones off of ebay and reprogram them for my cricket account

Good luck!
My bad. Thanks. I should have looked closer and do more search on the forum. I was just under the rush of almost buying a mint perfect screen Epic Touch in white for $80.00.
Wonder if its worth it since primary carrier is verizon, and j don't like any service from metropcs, cricket. And i currently have a Galaxy SII T989 in white.

If its only $80 buy it even if you have no use for it and resell it on eBay, you'll probably get around $200 for it there...

Any idea why it has a bad ESN?
I know for a FACT that if it's because someone had it associated with an account that went unpaid/defaulted, it takes roughly 90 days for the account to become completely "closed" and taken off of "non-payment" status, that will free up the ESN. This *just* happened to me with a Nexus S 4G that I used to have on a friend's account (and he screwed me over).
Not sure about other cases (blacklisted ESNs) though.
Was that with sprint? I picked up an og evo awhile back off Craigslist and got burned on it...first and last time I didn't meet the seller at the sprint store... it was past due balance (calling *3 confirmed this, as sprint " technically" couldn't tell me anything about the account other than it was not stolen)... regardless I held on to it for close to 6 months before I sold it (on ebay, honestly, as a bad esn phone and got close to double what i paid for it... so it worked out well in the end) and the esn never cleared...

I put mine on Straight Talk. Been working great....just can't get mms to work but not a huge deal to me because I use Google Voice but would like to have it working incase I decide to sell it.
I will be purchasing a galaxy nexus from a friend in a few days.He told me that he has not paid the etf fee for the phone, I was curious if the phone would work if I had a lte sim card or if I signed up for new service. Thanks for the help in advance.
You'll have to call Verizon and see what they can do if anything, they might not let you activate it.

The phone will be blacklisted from ever connecting to Verizon's network until your friend pays the money he owes to Verizon. Tell him to stop being a cheap ass and pay his bill.

I would suggest that you pass on this "gift".
Verizon usually doesn't usually budge on unblacklisting phones so you might be screwed.

Even better, buy it from Amazon for something like $0.01. Or if he's off contract there are plenty of non-blacklisted phones for sale on Craigslist, eBay, XDA marketplace, etc..

Sell it on ebay? Should be able to get 300-350 which is around the cost of an unlocked one from the play store. Off contract the phone is 550$ so you shouldnt have a problem selling it for around that price.

There isn't a 32GB GSM version, is there? Just something to keep in mind while you're making deals.
Post in the Marketplace.
And GL getting a straight trade. The Sprint version is hardly worth what the GSM one is, even at the $399 Play Store price.

The things is, you can't be too sure about CDMA versions on eBay and the likes. They could be blacklisted on the networks.
Yeah...sucks but true. Verizon is CDMA. No getting around that. Either stay with Verizon and unlimited data and pay full price, pay subsidized price and get reduced internet, or jump ship.
I personally am going to get the HSPA+ one and use it with T-Mobile. 5 gigs of 4g and unlimited 3g for $30 a month

You have 45 days to open a buyer protection case, so no worries there. Just buy from a reputable seller and you're good. If you put it on a credit card, you can always do a charge back. I've bought around 50 cell phones on eBay, and only one was blacklisted. I contacted the seller and he gave me a full refund.

Who's more stupid? The one that paid way more than 200$ for a carrier branded "LTE" crapware bloated CDMA, nexus, with the most inconvenienced extra fees and plans, or the one that purchased a GSM HSPA+ unlucked direct from Google for 350$ if you're gonna call some consumers stupid, remember you got 3 fingers pointing at you, from your own hand leaving your index hanging, buddy

I for the most part just dislike the company policies. The service is fine, just a little pricey. Customer service has always left me wanting better, and I personally find the handling of the Galaxy Nexus to be quite the fiasco.

Just to say...
Verizon and sprint updated their galaxy nexus to 4.1 via OTA months after jellybean came out.
But the key here is that they still kept their promise and we had jelly bean before any other phone on their roster.
Even the hottest phone of the year Galaxy s3 didn't get jellybean till this week.(Verizon still waiting)
Verizon held up their end. You were the first to get jelly bean and unless the nexus 4 comes to Verizon, you will be the first on Verizon to have 4.2
The new Droid DNA comes with 4.1.2 so you're fine.
