Update: I called Verizon back, got a nice Indian (or Indian American) lady
who was able to activate incoming calls only, so I can still check
messages and have my own outgoing message. Then she told me a story about
how her son lost his phone, how great my phone is, etc. Just when I
started to get a little impatient, she told me she had just completed
setting up the activation. Smooth.
Moral of the story: If you lose your phone, call Verizon and ask to
block incoming calls only, otherwise they will suspend your account. The
crazy part is they were going to continue billing me even with the "This
Phone Has Been Disconnected ..." message. So at least now I'm getting my
money's worth.
My mobile phone is lost! I left it on a BART train. In the meantime, you
can reach me at work, 415 288 4968 or home, 510 548 4576. If you call my
phone, it will say it is disconnected, but it is
