I finally got the Bionic!!!!!

[Poseidon126]

And yet I can't use it right now =(

Since I ordered it online, I have to call a certain number to get it activated, but I can't turn on the Bionic. I currently don't have another phone since I had my Droid X de-activated earlier. So, here I am, with two de-activated phones, one of which must not be turned on and waiting for one of my room mates to get back so I can use their phone to start the process of activation.

Ugh, this is going to be a long day haha.

You don't need another phone to activate your bionic. When I got mine, I went into my account on verizonwireless.com and made the bionic the active phone on my line. You'll need the IMEI or MEID number (whatever they're calling it now) and your sim card number. Then you can just power on the phone and let it run through it's process.

Turn off old phone. Insert sim into new phone. Wait.

DO NOT dial *228 or you are going to be making a trip to the store for a new sim card.
