Hi I just bought this item off of craiglist for cheap and the seller said that the only problem with the phone is that the person who had it before him never cancelled their contract, so I would not be able to open this phone on a new contract. I bought this phone as a replacement for my old phone (Alias 2) which will not last much longer. Does anyone know of any options I have and if since I am not using the phone to create a new contract, if I would be able to activate this phone?
