New Verizon 8x Has No Service Anywhere, Verizon Can't Help

[stickstickly]

• Hello all, I decided to take the dive into Windows Phone and bought an 8x from a phone refurbisher. The phone looks mint.
• I popped my SIM from my old 4g Nexus into the phone. Activated it on My Verizon fine.
• My account shows the 8x on it. However I cannot get service anywhere.
• I have already had a Verizon store switch out the 4g sim.
• I have gotten service for a random short spurt of time 30 seconds or so here or there through out the day. (have had the phone for 2 days it has probably had service for a total of 3 minutes)
• So I'm just stumped.

Get the phone replaced...?

In all fairness, your thread stated Verizon can't help, so the next logical step is to replace the phone. Sounds like a bad phone. I would contact the seller and see if they will replace the phone.
