being the bigger person (and cutting ALL ties with her now) is ALWAYS worth more than a $200 phone. give it back to her and get your own plan. it's probably time that you have your own plan anyhow. you can try to activate it, but if it was reported stolen, you're in trouble. just this man's advice......DO NOT rely on your girlfriends for your cell phone plan. at some point you need to own the same number on a plan in your name.

Ouchers, this is a sticky situation.  First and foremost, call customer service and give them the serial number of the phone so they can check to see if it is clean, reported lost or stolen or if it is blacklisted for non payment.  If she canceled the account and did not pay her bill that phone will not be able to be actvated.  What I would ultimately reccomend is give her the phone back and walk away from her and start with a clean slate.

Come on people, you're over reacting.  He just needs to go to verizon store and tell them the whole story, if the phone has been reported stolen worst case is they won't activate the phone and just keep it, 'cause he most likely knows account holder name at least, or other numbers on the account. It's not like he came and doesn't know at least the name on the account.

Of course he knows the account holders name. It's his ex-girlfriend. He needs to give her back the phone.

If your conscience is clear about keeping it, of course you can activate the phone on an account of your own on Verizon.

 

Or sell it on Ebay.

Send it back to her certified mail. Then you have a receipt that it was delivered. Then do not lose the receipt.
