I'm a verizon customer who bought an LG Dare on ebay, I gave verizon online my MEID and it told me to call *228 to activate, but my phone says service required and I can't dial out.

Hello.
Try to use the MEID info in the #help*help screen to try to activate the phone.
If you still cannot, you need to fix MEID and ESN file on your phone.

MY SON LOCKED LG VX5200

you are going to have to find the last 4 digits of your phone number, because that is the unlock code.

If you dont have a way of finding it, maybe you could try moving the SIM card into another cellular phone of the same provider and calling from that.

Hope it helped.

Well i was able to figure out my own problem and it turns out all you have to do is call the verizon costomer service and they will reprogram your password back to default.

Set to car kit.

I reinserted the wall charger a couple of times and it made the "car kit" go away. My guess is that two pins in the little connector inside the phone somehow got shorted together (dust or something). I saved the butter knife soloution for my last ditch attempt as I wasn't sure that shorting all the pins wouldn't increase the chances of damage to the phone. The post above definitely go the creative juices flowing since we had no idea how it got in "car kit" mode.

Cell Phone Issue

Take a piece of metal like a bobby pin and rub it on the bottom of the phone where you plug the charger in. This will reset the phone. It work for me and saved me from buying a new phone.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!

Car kit

there is internal damage an easy fix is to plug it into the car charger and it will only work on the charger you should have let the phone sit out and dry with the battery detatched. my phone did the same thing about 3 months ago. if that doesn't work you'll need a new phone

Today 01/23/09 I had the same "car kit" message on my cell phone. After inspecting my charging port connection area I noticed corrosion on the connector. I applied DeoxIT D100L by CAIG Laboratories and cured the problem. I am now able to use my phone again.
