Bricked phone, Verizon sent new one, got old phone going, now what?

O.k., now I have a problem.

When I bricked my phone, I called Verizon and they said it could not be fixed and sent a new one. In the meantime, I found out how to reload the OS and the old phone is working again.

So, I'd like to keep my original phone because it works great, but now the new phone was delivered today. If I send back the new phone, will there be an issue or a warranty problem in the future with the original phone? Or should I just "re-brick" the original phone, send it back and activate the new one? What a mess!

You can send back the replacement with out any issues. I'd at least let them know the situation. I've sent replacements back before :-)

For starters, you shouldn't have requested a replacement for a bricked phone. You should have read the "HELP I BRICKED MY PHONE" article. But I agree with Brian. You shouldn't have any trouble sending the phone back.

Talked to Verizon before I found out what a bricked phone was. I'll be armed in the future though :)

I can tell you officially that you will have no issues sending back the extra phone. There's a shipping label in the box. Just use that and you're good to go. :)
