Bought a new 270c off of ebay and tried to activate online. The esn was
recognized, but I couldn't update via *228. It was trying to access the
Alltel network. Took it to the local vzn tech and was told that it
"should" work, but that he couldn't flash the software. So I'm stuck. Or
am I? Any suggestions?

Instead of the ESN, isn't there another type serial number you can use
that's on the same sticker?

Do a manual setup of your phone no. and SID. Menu, 073887*. Should then call
Verizon tower when you do the *228.

No. CDMA is dependent on ESNs.
Have you checked to see if the phone is locked?
*228 won't work if the master lock code is not 000000

Why couldn't he flash the software? I don't think the
lock code blocks that? Don't know about that phone.

I used to have 270c - it worked just fine for me, but I did have some
minor problems with it.
Anyway, try to check the old link:
