IreachSe new owner activation

Instructions for preparing the device for sale can be found here:

Although it does not say so explicitly, it appears that you can cancel without actually resuming the plan. At least, I do not see anything in the steps that would require the plan to be active at the time.

I do not believe that part about not being able to factory reset the device if the plan is suspended. Up to date firmware allows you to use the device without activation. Not sure what f/w is on a device that has not been updated in several years.

If you really want to reuse the account with a different device, you might have to manually remove the device from the account. (I cannot remember if a device with no plan remains on the account, or if you have to add it back when you want to set up a new plan.)

Note that there is probably a plan cancellation timing issue here. Normally, a freedom plan would not actually be cancelled until the next monthly anniversary of the most recent plan resumption. With the plan suspended for so long, I'm not sure where you are going to land.

If you have any difficulty with any of this, I would open a support call. It's very important that you properly prepare the device and account - or the buyer will not be able to activate the device on a new account.
