Hey,
So I bought a iphone off craigslist and, big surprise, it is stolen and cannot be activated. It is Verizon so I cannot just pop a different sim card in there or whatever. Anybody know what I can do with this phone? I don't really wanna just fuck the next guy over or craigslist and I don't wanna just sit on it. Anyone have any ideas? (Its an iphone 4 32gb, really good condition btw).

Thanks

there are tools out there to change the MEID but be very, very careful.

If you still have the guys email, or phone, force him to give you your money back or call the cops.

naturally the guy I bought it from is not returning my emails. And the police will not put forth too much of an effort for a few hundred bucks.
