Hi - New here and could really use some help on where in the forums I should post the following Q's...

"Recently got a nice, used Verizon iPhone 6 off ebay. However, after an online IMEI check, the phone shows "lost". I Called vrzn to get some back history but vrzn rep said he couldn't find the IMEI in the system and couldn't cross-reference further w/out the original SIM, a phone # or a name/address.

I tried a friend's active vrzn SIM and got the following msg...

"SIM Not Supported" - "Current SIM card is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server - Please insert a SIM from a supported carrier or request this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier"

Seems kind of odd the phone clearly shows Verizon as the Carrier in the menu settings, yet my friends working vrzn sim brings up "SIM NOT SUPPORTED"(?)

Incidentally, I got the phone for a really good price and would rather not return it back to the seller if I can help it.

Are there any other options at this point?"

Thanks =)
