Selling my Galaxy S3 on VZW. I never activated it on the network, and have removed the SIM card (was planning to activate it, but changed my mind). I've wiped the phone (cache and factory reset). Anything else I'm missing or need to do?

Check that the photos and music are erased. On my SGS2, a cache and factory wipe cleared out most things, but left the photos and my music intact.

Are you the original owner? If not, do an ESN check (or have the buyer do one). All it takes is a call to Verizon CS or a visit to one of their stores.

Yeah I went through all folders on the SD card and didn't see anything of mine.

Yes I'm the original owner. ESN should be clear already right?

PSA: Its still locked to Verizon. Make sure to tell the next owner that.

They do.
