If you don't pay your AT&T bill, will your Verizon S6 be blacklisted and end up with a bad ESN?

The Verizon S6 in question was never activated on Verizon network.(SIM was destroyed during unboxing, before the phone was ever turned on). The Verizon account which was used is still in good standing.

However, this Verizon S6 was used on AT&T immediately after unboxing and worked fine for many months

I seriously doubt they'd do that. They dont care about the device.. All they'll do is send you to collections.

No that device is not in their system and you don't owe them anything for it.

that's what I figured... but not so with Verizon. If you buy a Verizon phone from a freind, or eBay/Craislist, or even Best Buy(full retail price) and put your existing Verizon SIM card in it... they WILL blacklist that phone if your Verizon account is turned over to collections. Of course, it will only apply to the phone whose IMEI is listed on your Verizon account at the time the account becomes delinquent.

Found out about this dirty little trick by Verizon when helping a co-worker figuring out why her Verizon no longer worked.
