How to activate my cellphone?

I got a alltel cell phone. how do you activate it? Like I got the code you put in on the site and stuff but it says it's wrong. here is a example (not the real number) ASLKFOUU
8KILDQ
The 8KILDQ is under ASLKFOUU...

on the cell phone where your supposed to get the number from.
I put the whole thing in (it did not work) and then tried some other things but they all did not work. so how do I do it?

Hi,

I found this on eBay:

Two Steps Before You Call To Activate:

1. Get the ESN Number of the Phone. Take the battery off of the phone and look for the ESN number on the label the battery was covering. Models vary, but all of them either show the ESN as an 11 digit number in Decimal format (sometimes abbreviated DEC) or in Hexadecimal format which is a combination of letters and numbers that is 8 digits in length. Alltel can work with either one. It is not the serial number which is usually designated “S/N” or the FCC ID number.

2. Make sure the phone is fully charged. You don't want the phone to die when it starts programming because the battery dies. Also, fully charging the battery helps to prolong and enhance the battery’s performance (repeated, short and incomplete charging of your battery will diminish its capacity).

Transferring your existing contract service to the phone you just bought.

1. Call 1-800-Alltel1 (1-800-255-8351) and at the prompt enter your 10 digit phone number. When the Customer Service person answers the phone, tell him/her that you would like to activate your phone number on another cell phone. You will be asked some security questions, and then they will ask for the ESN number of the phone that you want to switch your service to.

2. It takes about 30 seconds and then they will ask you to turn your phone off and back on and dial *228 and press send. Your phone will be programmed over the air in about 60 seconds.
