Activating your LG VX7000
While you may prefer the technology and fun features of a new phone, it is sometimes necessary to activate an old phone to an existing phone number. There are several ways in which you can accomplish this task, depending on your level of technical savvy. If you have an LG VX7000, you can activate and program it to your phone number with just a few easy steps.
Instructions
1. Remove the battery from the back of the VX7000. Press the button located near the hinge and slide the battery towards the bottom of the phone with your thumb. This allows you to view the battery compartment where the identification numbers are located.
2. Look for the electronic serial number (ES) printed on a sticker on the back of the handset. It is printed in either 11-digit decimal form (all numbers), or eight-digit hexadecimal form (numbers and letters). This is the unique identification number for your handset and allows the carrier's system to recognize your phone.
3. Call your cellular provider from a second phone line. Talk to a customer service or technical support representative and give them the ESN. They will need to change the ESN listed on your account to the ESN on the VX7000 in order for you to program the phone.
4. Put the battery back into the VX7000 by sliding the battery towards the hinge of the phone until you hear a click. Power the phone on by pressing the red end button.
5. Program the VX7000 with your phone number by dialing *228 from the phone and listening for the voice prompts. These will vary depending on your provider. Wait for the system to report a successful activation. The phone is now activated with the new number.
