The original owner needs to pay the bill and get the phone cleared

I can't believe Tmo won't let you activate the phone because of the previous owner. What the heck does his unpaid bills have to do with you? Tmo is crazy... they'll lose income based on their stu*id policies! The phone isn't even blacklisted! Unbelievable!
