It does have a bad esn,but the steal part doesent mean its stolen lol. My buddy had it replaced and since it was his third one (he didnt like it so he kept getting replacements so eventually he could get a different model) they sent him the droid 2. And he wont call and say he found it so they wont release the esn. Its reported lost or stolen by the insurance,not him so its not hot or anything. anyways,to my point about where the steal kicks in
I want to trade it for a straight talk nokia e71 so i can use straight talk on my cappy. Im on the verge of moving to a different device because i cant use 3g with simple mobile so i dont pay for internet. and lets face it,a android without internet just plain blows big ones. I really am desperate so thats why im willing to trade. The droid x is in mint condition by the way
EDIT: zelendel i just thought about posting thus in the wrong section,feel free to move. Sorry about that

so in order for the strait talk thing to work, the person must KEEP the phone they pulled the sim out of or risk having there sim deactivated and loose there phone number. the only way to get strait talk reliable on your cappy is to shell out the 260 ( tax included) and buy the phone and the plan from walmart.

Hi Guys
I've finally decided to leave Sprint due to lack of coverage in my area. I already am in the process of moving to a GSM network and am close to the point where I want to actually sell my year-old EVO Shift. I've never sold a CDMA phone before, when I sold my Milestone, I just pulled the SIM, wiped the memory and reflashed the OS to Stock. (Pretty easy) But I'm not really sure what I should do to sell a Sprint phone, as my account info must be tied to the IMEI.
Wiping the memory will be easy, I've already rooted and installed CyanogenMod7, but what else should I do to deregister my device (other than canceling the contract) and prepare my phone so somebody else on Sprint will be able to use it?
That said, anybody here want to buy it? Except for one little dent, it's in great condition - no screen scratches whatsoever and the battery still gets a good 36 hours or more. And as said, it's already been set up to run CM7. If you're interested, make me an offer - I'm not expecting a lot.
Try the xda marketplace you might find a buyer there.

How much you selling it for? I might be interested. I'm pretty sure once you cancel your contract the phone should be able to be reactivated as long as you pay all cancel fees and there's no balance left on your account. Just to verify, i'd call sprint and ask them if you'd still be able to use the phone later should you decide to return to sprint (play that angle so they don't get too suspicious)
Anyway ... PM me about the phone.

Moving to Q&A
I upgraded my plan over the phone and got this one s for a $99 with a 50 dollar mail in rebate. While it is a nice phone, I love my G2 and have it setup exactly the way i want it (cant live without my trackpad wake), so I am thinking of selling it.
It is still in the box and I haven't activated it yet, is there anything i need to do or clear up with tmobile before i sell this phone? I am just trying to be honest and clear with whoever buys it. I know i wouldn't like it if I bought a new phone and it couldn't be used due to something the seller didn't do.
Thanks you in advance for your help. And if this is in the wrong forum i apologize and will delete it and post it in the right place.
Nope but ull still be paying for it for the next 2 years.

Paying a whole 50 bucks,getting a lower monthly payment on my same plan and making a few hundred bucks selling this phone isnt too bad of a deal. Just want to make sure the buyer has no issue activating and using this phone.
As long as u dont report it lost or stolen the buyer is good to go.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
One last quick question. I read my rebate fine print and it said that i have to use the one at least once to let the rebate clear. I talked to Tmobile and explained that I want to continue to use my current phone and keep the one s as a backup. They said that if I take the phone to a tmobile store to activate the one s using the micro sim to allow the rebate to clear, they will move me back to my regular sim to continue to use the G2.
My question is, since now that i activated the phone and is registered on my account, will I have to call tmobile to deregister the phone from my account or something similar before I sell this phone?
Thanks again horr1blek1tten for all the help.
No just simply switch ur sims

Can I use prepaid T-Mobile on this phone ? I rooted with aahk and that program said it does a sim unlock. If I can use T-Mobile ? What are the correct settings for this device ?

1. It depends on the provider; some SIM cards aren't compatible with unlocked phones.
2. Please don't bump after an hour.
3. Since this is a question, it belongs in Q&A.
That 1st statement you made doesn't tell me anything that isn't true with any other phone..ever occur to you that I'm not trying to blow 70 bucks on a T-Mobile sim card ? If your going to reply than say something alittle more helpful
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
My point is, since no one else has responded and you seem concerned enough to bump so quickly, your best bet is to call or otherwise somehow ask T-Mobile itself. It will probably be more reliable than asking here, and makes more sense than just buying a $70 card and trying it. After a quick Google search I see that it has a site listing compatible unlocked phones, but this one isn't on there, and I don't know about how up-to-date it is.
Oh, well, I tried. My apologies for apparently being unhelpful. Good luck.
Edit: and by the way, you could try asking in the DHD section. It's essentially the same phone, and the forums are more populated.
as long as it does in fact sim unlock the phone then yes you should have no issues using tmobile... I got the code from ATT shortly before I canceled service... I used the $0.99 sim from tmobile prepay, I registered the sim (but didn't put any money on it) and verified I'd sim unlocked the phone before paying for the service.
I didn't root my phone till after I made the switch (I finally got brave after going though rooting and romming my wife's kindle fire)
this is where I got my sim from
http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phones/prepaid-sim-cards
I'm almost done with my first month of service ($30 100min 5gb plan)... it works for me... if I run out of talk min it charges 0.10 min... the only down side is the voicemail isn't compatible with my google voice... I may well just move to the value plan (cost about 10$ more between my wife and I)
So I have been having a bad experience with T-Mobile. I just moved into a new house with my girl and son and I have the worst service. "Light Green" they called it...I only get 4G 20% of the time, with dropped called, missing texts or texts that take a couple hours to day to get to me, so I tried to get the cancellation fee waived, i went into T-Mo and they said they would send a request. I recieved a letter in the mail about 15 days after, saying that I was Declined and that I can just go outside in my car, or on the sidewalk to make a phone call or to get 4G....WTF MATE!?
Heres where it gets retarded...So I didnt really have a credit score when I initially signed up for T-Mobile. So I had to pay a deposit fee or whatever of $200 bucks...They said i would get that back after 1 year of paying. The day it became 1 year i called T-Mo. They said they would send it to my bank account and sent the request in. About 9 days later I get a phone call from an automated message saying my account wasnt eligible...So I went into the T-Mobile store and talked to them, and they couldnt give me a straight answer, so they called customer service and asked them to send me a visa card with the $200. 2 days after i check my account online and they credidted my T-Mo account and paid that months bill???!!!
I was pissed So I went into the store and I told them i did not ask for that and i asked why they would do this, they couldn't tell me why...So they sent a request to refund my tmo account then to send me the $200 to a visa AGAIN. About 2 weeks later I get $102.93 in the mail...They denied my request to refund me and still paid my bill and sent me the remainder.....And at the time i really needed the money.
I said screw them and I havent paid my bill it was due almost 2 weeks ago, and there about to shut me off. I planned on switching to Simple Mobile but when I called primetime to see prices and stuff they told me if i have a balance with tmobile that they would decline me...Metro also uses tmobiles network and walmart uses tmobiles network....
So my question is what can I do to get service on this phone? What plans do I have available, because I don't really plan on paying t-mobilem they can go screw. Im done with there BS.
Only option is Att or air voice but not sure on the about frequencys I did it with the s3 works fine

Will T-Mobile lock this phone since I haven't paid? I'm trying to get a service plan I can use with this phone. I don't need data, I'm on WiFi most of the time where ever I go. So if I switch to air voice or at&t I would just pop in the sim card and be good to go?

I don't know a free way. But I know some shops unlock them for like $15. Online you can get the same price. But make sure you get a real one and not those stupid scams.

T-Mobile gives it to you for free but if I were you I'd ask that friend to who has t-mobile to call them just give him you imei and they could get it for you because t-mobile might ask you to pay off your balance

Yeah that sounds like it would work, they don't ask what type of phone? Or Account name? I just checked out this YouTube video from cellunlocker.net, looks legit and only want like $7 to unlock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi91arwkzxY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I also checked out airvoice, do I even need to unlock it for them? They state there service works on any android phone and don't mention unlocking. I've never had to unlock any of my phones so I'm kinda new to this.

Will do, still have to order a sim card. I will buy it either tomorrow or Monday and probably get it within a week or 2, otherwise I would have already tried it. The process seems pretty straight forward though and if it works on the S2, I don't see why it wouldn't work for us blazers but you never know.
You have to unlock for air voice it runs on att's network

i hope i got here in time.
T-Mob won't unlock your phone for three reason:
1. you don't have any outstanding balance
2. the devices has to be used on your line for 1 or 2 weeks
3. your line has to be in good standing and active for 40 days.
But if anybody who has t-mob tried to call and get the imei unlock code for your phone, i wouldn't suggest it as they may either have to send in the bills that shows you paid full price for the phone or the devices is used on their line for 7 days.
Also, from what you're stating, you probably didn't communicate clearly with T-Mob store rep, but sometime, you just have to find the right person, tell them stright off what happen and keep it simple and you'll be clear.
and as for the $200, i'm not surprised they had you put it in, and you DO have credit scores. they can come from any sources. the Public Library keeps one, getting a loan from any sources used under your SSN will affect your credit scores. any past debts unpaid will affect it as well. renting a house also affect it.
and i'm not sure, but if they're suppose to put it back into your account, and it haven't, it normally mean that someone screw up. and if i were you, i'm certain it isn't T-Mob that screw you over but the local place. if they have to call customer services, that mean they're a 3rd party store representing T-Mob. I would suggest you head back to the original place you got your phone and plan and speak to the person in charge. they might be the one refusing to give you the money, not t-mob.

What I meant when I said I didn't really have a credit score was because I never really had any bills under my name at the time of signing up with t-mo.
Trust me I communicated with them just fine...the person who I talked to in the store was the person who set me up with them, she's a really nice lady, so I know it wasn't her doing. I had originally called customer service to get my deposit back. They sent in the requst to fund my bank account originally. The lady at the t-mo store did everything correctly and showed me exactly what she did on the computer and I even talked to one of the account specialists.
It was T-Mobile being pricks. They didn't want to give me the money or at least not the whole thing, which was clear from what they were doing. They stated my bank account not being eligible in an automated message and because it wasn't "eligible" for absolutely no reason they put the money in my t-mo account instead and paid that months bill before I could even do anything and there was still 13 days till i had to pay the bill. Then denied my request to get my money back that they used to pay the bill, and denying the cancellation fee request for crappy unreliable service and telling me in a letter that I can go out in my car or the sidewalk to call and use 4g which still didn't work all that great outside.
This is definitely T-Mobiles fault not customer service. There money hungry a-holes and don't care for the customer as a whole.

Huh. you and i have two different experiences when it came to dealing with T-Mob. They tried to overcharge me once, but they credit my account.
I guess, our two experiences are different.
However, I would suggest you go speak to that lady and ask her what happen if you unlock your phone to use on other network if you still have outstanding account with T-Mob.
