Centenial will not activate a cel phone that has been reported stolen but Verizon will?
Recently one of my employees took his Centennial cel phone in for repair, it was deemed unrepairable, so he took it to a streetcorner chop shop for a second opinion where the wonderful technician "repaired" it by replacing the guts with the former contents of a stolen unit.
Of course after this it needed reactivation which Centennial refused to provide, since the new guts have a serial number which has been flagged as stolen in their database.
Verizon on the other hand, activated it without batting an eye.
I am not sure how this information could be useful to anyone, I hope there are no cel phone thieves on this board, I just thought it was interesting.
