What should I do before I sell my LG Dare to protect personal information?

[GringoChapin]

I cleared off all the pictures and media files, and took the expanded memory card and reformatted it.

1.) Do I need to remove the sim card or anything? I no longer have my plan with Verizon.

2.) Also, when I restore factory default settings, will the phone be functional? I won't be able to "re-program" it, as I can no longer connect to Verizon's network (since my Verizon plan is expired). However, I'd still like to show potential buyers the phone works for things like pictures/media/etc.

3.) What will whoever buys my phone need to do in order to use it on their service plan?

Thanks!

Yes the phone will be fully functional and able to activate by whoever buys it, as long as it hasn't been reported as lost or stolen

1) If there is a sim card, I would. Call Verizon to check.
2) It will. Everything will be back to how you first received the phone.
3) They can take it to a Verizon store, or there is an activation number to call. Another active phone (like a home phone) is needed to do that.
