Best place to buy?

[MrMario]

I have never bought an unlocked phone or really a phone that wasn't from a carrier. I want to get an LG G4 but do no want to get an unlocked phone. Are the ones from the link below safe? They seem like a really good price.

I can't post a link until I have 10 post so the above refers to an amazon page.

That doesn't look like it points to Amazon and the key words are Note 5.

Depending on the carrier you are with your best bet may be to buy from a site like Swappa.com. You can get a mint G4 for less than $400. I got my Verizon G4 for $350, but it did't come with the box or anything. It's in perfect condition and runs very smooth.

Is having a verizon phone annoying though? I really wanted an unlocked phone.

I got the one linked from amazon. Verizon says:

The device Id shows, not found. The phone could still be tide to a cell carrier account or lost/stolen
When we get a device not found notification that means we can not activate it, The network wont accept it on my end.

So know I don't know what to do

If you bought the phone new it should not be saying that trying to activate it on Verizon. It sounds like you bought a used phone that someone reported lost or stolen. There is nothing verizon can do for you as they won't activate a phone reported lost or stolen. You need to go back to the seller which was most likely a marketplace place seller on amazon and not Amazon directy as Amazon wouldn't sell a phone that way. Its always a good idea to check the MEI number with Verizon before you buy so this doesn't happen. If the seller doesn't respond then file an A-Z claim with Amazon. You have 30 days to do this. Mary
