Okay, I'm the phone with them right now and the MEID that they gave me is completeley different than the one registered on my phone. They can't help me because they don't have any software to use on the iphone as of now, is there any way to do this myself?

The same thing happened to me, it seems like the meid changes every time you update your phone(correct me if im wrong) But You Have to get the new meid on the system and it will work again

guy's the meid does not change with firmware update.

Yea, my number isn't showing either. I just went to the metro store and left it there. I'm paying 10 bucks to get it fixed, but I'm still curious as to how to fix this issue. They told me they'd reprogram the phone again. eh.

ya if you cant use the ota dont update,i have said in about a thousand posts what you almost always do after a update is start a frantic search to get back to where you were before the update.

I just got my phone back and these dudes didn't fix it. Pretty upsetting. Went to some other store and dude said they'd have to take out and put my esn back on the system to fix it or something like that. I don't want to pay 60 to get it fixed. Is there any way I can do it myself?
