My mom was able to call verizon and then was able to stop my phone from working with the network. The phone itself works but it cannot send messages or use the data. How can i "turn it back on"?

She called some number and stopped it from using the network. How can i make it work again?

It will take a while. But you can do the following:

1. Respect your Mother
2. Do as you are told
3. Get good grades
4. Do your chores
5. Don't run with the wrong crowd
6. Dont send texts or photos you would not want your mom to view
7. Once she finally allows you to have data and txting back, do not abuse the privilege by spending all day on the phone and going over your data limit.

it sounds like she blocked your data and text package. she's the only one that can turn it back on. unless we are all totally misunderstanding you, and she simply asked them how to turn off the radio from the phone. if that's the case then restarting it would turn the radio back on.....but i'm guessing that's not what you're talking about.

Guys it sounds to me the OP is indeed trying to test the Waters of a Very Important Person Name Mom At witch there is no Substitute.!  I will go with what ButOne suggest that you do.!  An not Go behind your MoM's Back. That's Very Disrespectful.. An a big No No if your wanting your Phone to Work Again..B33

How about talking to your mother?  I'm assuming a lot about your situation but I would imagine it is unlikely that you can reverse whatever decisions your mother has made for HER account. And based on my assumptions, it seems unlikely that you have the ability to get your own account so it seems to me that you are out of luck...

^All the moral police come out, haha.

@Cookerz, it probably is a good idea to just talk about it with your mother, though. It is her line of service after all. Unless it's your dad's

>Posted edited to remove instructions that could lead to a fraudulent act<  But if she's paying the bills, she's going to see that you turned it back on and I'm guessing you're probably going to get into even bigger trouble (especially if you managed to impersonate her or speak on her behalf).  Best bet, talk to your mom about what she wants from you in order to get it turned back on. 

Good luck!

I wouldn't necessarily say moral police, just trying to keep this person from committing fraud by trying to undo an act of someone who is just managing an account for which they are responsible and under contract.

If on the other hand, the contract is in the name of the OP, then I stand corrected.

And just BTW ... using someone else's Social Security number and birthdate to impersonate them is probably against some very serious laws. Even if it's your Mom's info.

If OP were old enough to be charged with fraud then that might be a legitimate excuse, but everyone was treating him/her like a child, so that's obviously not the case.
