Is it possible to swap your ESN to another model phone without going to Store ?

OK I'm a bit of a newb in this department. I have a LG Ally with Verizon and I have been enjoying my phone until it got ran over. . Left on a hood and then found it in the street seconds before it got ran over)
Anywho it still works as in receives calls but the Digitizer and the LCD are toast. . I was looking at just replacing those for around $60 but then I was thinking well crap I can get a new one and just swap over the board and keep everything hunky dory right ? ? ? In theory.
Then was thinking well crap if I'm spending $70+ I should look at getting a DROID Incredible or 2 or X or something. . . But THAT is where this becomes something I can't do.
I have tried getting a hold of my account manager but she doesn't answer her cell (weird right) so this is where I came up with the idea "hey it's just a number can't I put it on another phone"?
So I dunno if I made any sense here, again I am a newb but just asking some questions.
Thanks.

I know Sprint allows you to swap your phone via their website, but not sure about Verizons, if that does not work, than you can just call their customer service and do it over the phone.

You could just call up technical support and tell them are switching to a new device and give them the info. You shouldn't have to go into a store. That is, as long as you're using an actual Sprint device.
Sprint is not going to let you use a Verizon phone or someone else's on their network.

No no no Verizon to Verizon
Just want to know if I can change my own ESN or whatever it is I need to make a phone attached to my account.
Tech support can't do it since I am on a business account.

Bump. ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need to talk to your rep as you said then. You need someone (a Verizon rep) to add the new ESN/MEID to the internal Verizon database. That is not something you can do personally.

You should be able to swap your number to a different phone by going to verizon's website and logging into your account. I do it all the time

LOL I like this idea the best
I can't log into my account on verizon's website since it's a dealer line.

Hot sim card, and now no sim.

I have had my Infuse for about 2 weeks now. From the day I got it, I noticed it would completely lock up and start vibrating. Last week i noticed the sim card was getting hot. This morning I was using it with no problems. I set it on the table, and when I picked it up to use it, the phone was showing a "No Sim" message. I have removed the sim and rebooted several times, but it still says "No Sim." Is my phone pretty much shot?

Wow, never heard of that before. Even if there is a fix for your issues id bring it back, since its only 2 weeks old the store should exchange right in the store. If you wait past 30 days than you may have to send it out for warrenty replacement.

Thanks Nash. The only problem is this phone was a replacement phone that my cousin got when he had problems with his first Infuse. They day this one arrived I traded my iPhone 4 for this Infuse. I'm not sure if AT&T will even do anything at this point. Looks like I might have to send it back to Samsung.

I forgot to mention that I am using the SIM card from my iPhone 4. It is smaller then the actual SIM card slot on the phone. I just took the card out and re-centered it, and now it works. I'm thinking I need to go in and upgrade my SIM card. I'll still take it in for the other problems, but for now at least I can make calls.

The first thing i would suggest would be the sim card. I have also had good luck with att's warranty center on the phone. I bought a samsung captivate from craigs list. The service rep said my account said I got the phone in like November (mind you I don't call att and change my imei unless with an upgrade). Told them I had the random shutdown problem and they replaced it no questions asked.

Yes you should replace your ip4 sim for one that fits, only thing is- I'm sure att will change your number from iphone to Infuse, with that pending, I'm not sure if samsung will warrenty that phone since you weren't origianlly contracted to that phone, I could be wrong. I do know that att can downgrade your data package by switching phones. I bought my gf an inspire from craigslist, I was told that att was releaseing an update for inspires to have "unknown sourses" but you had to call and request it. I called and when they asked for my account info and phone number they noticed that phone number went to a samsung captivate. I said that phone broke so I picked up a replacement. They said they would have to change account from captivate to Inspire, I said go a head. Than they told me said I'm having work done to a non contracted phone, I will loose my unlimited data. I said touch my data and I'm gone to verizon...cancel my request. I later called back and explained, they left me alone and updated my phone. Kinda messed up what att can or try to do to your account.

Thanks for the info guys. I just landed in San Diego and walked over to the At&t store near the hotel. They replaced the similar card with no questions asked for free. Nothing changed on my account. The sales Rep said his Infuse has the same freeze with the vibrating problem as well.

You need to go make a full size similar card, or get one from at&t

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!!! its around the sim card right hand side gets really hot too

[Q] Serious problem with g2x, no service baseband problem?

I seriously need help with this. My phone info is this
LG-P999
Android 2.3.3 stock
Baseband: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1[JUL 15 2011 10:00:00]MP;TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM.
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
The phone has all the information about the carrier but does not connect to the network, it even recognizes a network with -89dbm but does not connect.
I don't know what's happening. When you start the wifi calling app it works but can't sustain a connection on its own. I need your phones baseband info to compare. Also i noticed on the hidden menu accessible by dialing 1809*#999# when you go to the modem setting the following menus says:
QCRIL/Android log on/off: not implemented yet (RIL)
PDP Setting: not implemented yet (RIL)
and so on with the others. I need help from people with working g2x to check this and compare the values, cause i don't know what to do. I have flashed several roms eve the stock, and i have noticed that when i flash the v10f and connect the phone to the computer the lg tool recognizes the phone as if it had the v21e leaving me without the possibility to upgrade the software, I think it is because of the baseband on the phone. I sincerely ask for your help on this. Thank you

I'd try requesting a replacement, or trying the Update method for refurbs.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Well i have tried all existing methods and nothing, cause the lg tools recognizes the actual phone model which is p999dw and wont let me upgrade because of the baseband version, and as for a replacement this is a phone o got from craigslist.

You seem to have the most current version, which makes me wonder about your SIM card. Perhaps you need a new one if it is an older SIM or possibly damaged.

Well My sim card is only 2 months old, it came with my htc sensation, whe I put it on the sensation works but not on the G2x i have also tried it on my father's hd2 and also works, Thank you all for your response, I feel very lucky to be an XDA member.
I will go to T-mobile tomorrow to get another sim and test.

You try a hard reset yet?
If not just hold the volume up rocker and power button for like 10 seconds and it will reboot.

Today i got a new sim card and nothing, still the same keep saying no service, when i try to call says not registered on the network

Did you ever get this issue resolved I am having the same problem...exactly, got a different sim and now I want to try to re-flash the base band if possible? Does anyone know of this issue and any way to fix without dealing with T-mobile?

Unfortunately I had this and I tried everything, went to a T-Mobile rep and they tried trouble shooting, switching sims, hard reset, I even changed roms, went back to stock froyo and gingerbread and still nothing. I'm having a new G2X replacement shipped to me free of charge from T-Mobile already. Go to your T-mobile rep and ask him to fix it (he will try and fail and will open a case with you) then if you have warranty you can get a replacement G2x.

I purchased my phone from some guy on Amazon, just try to go to a T-Mobile rep and don't tell them you purchased it off someone else even though they might be able to check.

Dial *#*#4535#*#* on your phone and give us screenshots of the phone status. Maybe that can give a clue as to what is going on. Scroll past your IMEI and do a screenshot (power and home) then scroll down to mid screen do another screenshot and then scroll all the way down and do a third screenshot. Post them here and maybe we can figure out what is going on. Did you make sure you have the correct RIL also? Some people with your issue have flashed CM7 nightly and then flashed back to another rom and this issue has gone away.

jboxer:
Will try...after a reboot or after I get the T-Mobile to load up again because that just gets me to the dialer again. I am in the process of making a video on Youtube and see if it helps resolve the issue...?? I SCREAM SANDWICH where are you...LOL!!

Do you have a tmo sim? U need to get the phone unlocked if u dont

Yes I do have a Tmo sim...and service.

You got took by the person on craigslist. Always test before you buy. #1 rule...

T-Mobile is also now blocking IMEIs from the network. So that is also a possibility, especially when the phone is showing that it recognizes the network, but won't connect.
I think the only way T-Mobile will block the IMEI is if someone used installments to get the phone, and then the account canceled before the first payment.

No..the phone did work when I tested it. It was not rooted or unlocked. It worked fine...all of a sudden it stopped? I can use any other carrier card and it will work flawlessly. I have a Straight Talk card and can plug it in and no problems..only the data is 2g(Edge) speed on the G2x. Calls and MMS and it shows AT&T as the carrier while the sim from Straight Talk is in. Only the T-Mobile one has an issue. I had the phone for more than 3 months without any problems. I don't think I got took if there weren't any apparent red flags at time of purchase. I took the sim from my old phone at time of purchase and said I want to check it out first and the previous owner agreed. I think the issue is with T-Mobile and the way their equipment works with LG G2x. I am posting a video on YouTube in the next few days to let people see what happens with different scenarios.

If the phone is working with Straight Talk (AT&T) and not T-Mobile then I do believe it is a blocked IMEI issue. The person that sold it to you probably stopped paying their bill. T-Mobile doesn't block the IMEI until they send the account to collection, which takes about three months or so. You can probably call TMO and ask them to check the IMEI and see if they blocked it (if the CSRs can check the blacklist database). This blocking of the IMEI is specific to T-Mobile only so it would not affect AT&T's network or using the phone on any other carrier in the world.

jboxer: Will check on that issue...thanks jboxer

Can I check any IEMI database? I checked one from a Australia database and it said the status is unlocked? Are there any United States places to check or do I need to contact T-Mobile?

[Q] Lost My Phone...

I lost my damn G2X the other day while drunk and had just installed a new ROM and no tracking app yet. The guy at Tmobile today told that anyone could put their own SIM card in my phone if found and use it without a problem.
Can TMobile really not associate the IMEI off that phone (that I reported lost) with one that cannot be activated? I don't want to believe that and don't believe the fat slob at the store anyways due to how he bad he messed up my account today and failed to share important information with me

Any T-Mobile sim card can work with any T-Mobile or Unlocked phone without the need of setting up a IMEI to that sim card. So yes they can just throw in there card and it will work. If you report your phone stolen then T-Mobile might be able to block the use of said IMEI from it's network. That is if you know what that number is and you ask about it over the phone. The first thing you should of done in this situation is called in your phone as stolen. Still it's possible they wont do that. I know I've seen comment for cell phone dealers on ebay who stated that the company sold them a stolen phone that is now deactivated. So best of luck. Also make sure you go to an actual corporate store. Not all T-Mobile stores are owned by T-Mobile. It's very hard to tell the difference between them.

Thanks I have the box it came in I think that has IMEI

its a gsm phone so they can't do anything, if it was a cdma then it won't work!

well crap. someones a lucky ************

If you are fast enough you log onto the Android Market on the internet and install Plan B. If they have not yanked out your sim yet plan b will install, automatically run, send an sms to you with the phone's location and allow you to track it online. You can also lock it and have it put a message on the phone to return it to the owner.

Jboxer is right, most probably the thief doesn't know as much to know that he can throw another sim card in there.
Best of luck though

And it is not true that T-Mobile cannot block the IMEI. If you call T-Mobile and report it lost they will definitely block the IMEI from use on their network. Whoever found it or stole it won't be able to use it on T-Mobile but they would still be able to sim unlock it and use it on AT&T or another network.

Thanks everyone. I think it's all too late. I tried installing Wheres my Droid from net the next morning but it either needs to be set up on phone first (can't remember) or the phone had already died. Wish I knew about "Plan B." This succcccks. I really hope something goes wrong with it for the new owner, And sure hope they like a basic ass setup of MIUI!!!

Getting Cell Service with NO SIM! And some other guys number ! Help

I just bought a phone the guy who made no mention of the fact that it was rooted when I bought it. What is worse is he mentioned that his GF worked for Verizon, which did not seem to mean much at the time. Knowing that here is what i'm dealing with.
I was in a rush when I checked out the phone as I had to meet another person to pick one up for my wife as well. It's the sch-i575 in white 16gb. After having a minute to look at the phone it turns out he had Paranoid Android flashed and the phone was rooted. CRAP! Not what I was looking for and he was not upfront about it. The incredibly strange thing was that with NO SIMCARD the phone was getting 3g signal! I spent all night trying to unroot \ undo what he did. I managed to use ODIN to get back to the stock rom although I think it's still a rooted one since I still have the super user app. I got a sim card from verizon but since it was rooted I did not bring the phone in and when I tried to activate later it would not activate. My wife's by the way is working flawless and when I put my sim in her phone it works fine as well. I had to put the sim in my wife's phone and it activated there. Here is the crazy thing, with or with out a simcard the phone makes calls and has 3g internet only but when I make a call it uses HIS NUMBER!! I'm not sure what the hell to do, what could have he done? Any ideas? Please all help is appreciated! I did not think this was even possible for the phone to function w/o a sim. I'm worried about taking it in to Verizon because of the funkiness. Ty again for any insight...

I thought the I575 was an old slide phone. So A. your in the wrong section of the forum since this is Verizon's S3 or B. you mentioned the wrong device number? I saw phones before working and running on networks without sim-cards but that was years ago. If it is an S3, you sure it's a Verizon device? Also since you see 3g....can you browse around in the browser or make a phone call?

Yes, it's a galaxy s3 16gb in white. It looks like currently I was using the tar66 using ODIN. I'm reverting back to the bone stock one now. As far as the models go isn't the SCH-I575 the Verizon version of the S3?
I'm waiting on the stock unrooted rom to take through ODIN and will report back. Thank you for taking the time to try and help.
Ohh, yes the internet works and when I make phone calls with or with out my sim in it makes calls successfully but the other guys number shows up. What the heck did this guy do to the phone!

Our model is the SCH-i535

You are obviously absolutley correct. I'm frantically trying to figure this out. I have flashed the stock rom and don't have super user anymore. The problem persists with the guys number.
Could he have flashed a custom kernel and modem or does reverting back using the stock rom cover all that ?

I just double checked and I had the I535VRLAG1 version, yours is the I535VRALF2 in the link you posted trying this now. The crazy thing is that it even says that the sim is activated with MY number! but the calls are still comming from him. I even tried wiping the device and clearing the cache. I also tried to JUST flash the modem with VRLG1.modem.tar.md5 and nothing :\. Waiting on the file from your link to download and will try that.
Is it possible that this is being caused by something on Verizon's end? The phone ( with out the SIM ) is registered to him somehow? I know this is not normal but because his GF worked for Verizon could they have done something funky?

Yeah its definitely possible its from something she did to the phone but most likely nothing from Verizon's end. Does the IMEI number under status match the IMEI number under the battery?

Yes IMEI is the same in the OS as behind the battery.
The curious thing is that on the same screen in the OS where you find the IMEI there is also a field called Network and it says " Unknown"
It also has things like:
Eri v : 5
Mobile network type : EvDo-rev.a:8
The thing I keep coming back to is how is it possible for this phone to make calls\ have data with out a sim?
Starting to really think I got cheated

Cheated? Sounds like you have free Verizon service.
Roll with it. If you really want a bill you can have mine...

Just did and the same thing happened. I went to the Verizon store and the guy there had no idea and got me in touch with tech support from the store. They were dumbfounded and flat out said that what is happening is impossible. "It's impossible to make\receive phone calls with out a sim unless they are emergency" I harped on the fact that I am making phone calls as one of their other customers and that this is a big deal. In the end since I had the insurance and extended warranty they will ship me a new phone.
