Is this information accurate or make any sense? iPhone from cancelled order delivered 5 months ago.
- Why Filing the Paperwork Today is Your Insurance Policy
This is why you cannot just turn it on, see that it works, and assume you are safe forever. If you take it to
without establishing a paper trail, Verizon
could blacklist it in July, and suddenly your phone loses all network connection with no way for you to fix it.
By turning it on today over non-Verizon Wi-Fi and then immediately filing the Notice of Dispute and FCC
Informal Complaint, you create a preemptive legal shield:
The Legal Stance: You are formally documenting that the phone was delivered due to a Verizon shipping error on a cancelled order, and that you have held it for five months without a single collection notice or return request. Under the FTC's Unordered Merchandise rules, you are establishing that the device is legally an unconditional gift.
Once that dispute is formally logged in their system, human eyes at Verizon's corporate office have to review it. To avoid an FCC violation or a legal headache over a single device, they will usually manually
"whitelist" the IMEl permanently to close the case.
Does this sound real or total nonsense?
