[Q] Can I sell a phone that I was given through insurance? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I recently did an insurance claim on my DX1 I was given a Dx2 which works perfect.
I also bough an HTC Trophy which is now active on my line. Can the Dx2 be activated on another line?
I searched but this specific question was not asked.
Thanks in advance!

I have there shouldn't be a problem

Great thanks!!

dx..as in droid??? is it cdma???

If you're not using it and your account's in good standing I don't see why you couldn't sell it.

Should be no problem to sell.

No problem

I have sold an evo with a broken screen on ebay that was replaced with a insurance claim. I listed it with a bad esn, i could be wrong, but if you said the phone was lost or stolen in the insurance claim the esn is now bad.
opps, i read this wrong, you are selling the new one you got, sorry

Power button sunk in

My power button is very unresponsive cause the button is stuck for some reason anyone having this problem
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yep. This happened to mine as well. This was a common problem with the Nexus One, and it looks like HTC never figured out a way to make a decent lock button. I would kill to have an iPhone-style click to that button.
I'll send it in for warranty before the year is up. But my phone is unlocked and has the nice SLCD, and it would be a pitty to get some junky refurb in exchange. For anyone who has RMA'd HTC phones before: will they actually repair your phone's component, or do they just mail you a refurb?
I tried to get my craigslist 4g replaced through HTC and the Rep said they only do repairs

I had the same issue, it was after my first 14 days and Customer Care would only send me a refurb. I went into the store where they sold it and showed the manager and he was just like "let's get you a new phone". He said the mytouch line has a special policy where they can do in-store only exchanges evan after the 14 day period.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo man wtf I went to a T-Mobile store and the manager always dodges me but they only told me to call customer service sucks ballssss

I got mines through Craigslist, traded a G2 for it, could t-mobile also give me a replacement or do I have to go through HTC?

T-Mo won't do an in-store trade for a phone you didn't buy from them. For that matter I'm not even sure the manufacturer warranty transfers if the original buyer sells it.
i actually had this same problem..called care and they sent me a refurb device...

Did you call T-Mobile customer care or HTC customer care. And did you need proof of purchase etc
Called t-mobile cust care...no need for proof of purchase...i actually bought my mt4g under a different number but put my sim in it first so the warranty is with my number...

cracked?

So I've had my nexus s for like 3 months and the glass just mysteriously cracked. Wtf. And the asurion insurance wants me to pay 130 for them to replace it with a vibrant, not even a 4g a goddamn 3g vibrant. Wtf!
How is that even possible not the same phone
You have to be leaving something out
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Nope not leaving anything out, because T-Mobile doesn't actually carry this phone the 8 bucks a month I spend on insurance can't replace this particular device. Just screwed unless I buy the touch screen digitizer glass assembly and fix it my self, which is what Iam going to do.
Wonder if you would be able to keep the busted nexus s with the claim, and get the other phone? I would fix the NS, then flip the other for cash.
Just a thought........

i don't know from experience, but i've been told that with sprint's asurion claims, many times they don't even ask for the original device back.
maybe tmo's policy is the same? and technically this wouldn't be fraud either.
The ESN becomes blacklisted so it doesn't become much more than a glorified media player.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
thats what i thought too, but there are reports that sprint hasn't been blacklisting them. nonetheless, his is a gsm phone, so he wouldn't have to worry about that.
Yea they told me i would be billed like 30 bucks if i didnt return it, sooo... that might not be a bad plan. Thanks for the idea
WIN!
Usually that company will reimburse you for the cost of buying a new Nexus S, less the deductible. All you should have to do is send them the receipt. Call them and ask..that's what a lot of Nexus One owners had to do.

[Q] Insurance claim

Ok i made a loss claim on my sgs4g on tmobile after three days of not having a phone and wondering where the hell it was. That said, i have since recieved my insurance replacement. Today I was cleaning out my car (a weekly ritual) and found it beneath the passenger seat. My question is simply what do i do with it? It is a gsm phone so no blacklisted esn, so can i sell it or give it to a less fortunate friend to use? What are my options?

Anyone?

You should ring your insurance company and ask them what to do. They may say to just forget it, but they may want you to send it back to your provider. Either way you've done the right thing so there's no comeback. After all, you did get a replacement so they played their part. Now it's your turn

Just because it's a GSM phone doesn't mean it can't be blacklisted.
T-Mobile will blacklist the IMEI if the device is reported as lost or stolen.
As Archer has suggested, just phone up your insurance company and ask them, however, don't expect the phone to work for very long.
I had unlocked it, does that matter? btw im not sending it back.

If I were you I'd give it to a friend or use myself , try to change imei if possible. ( No idea how )
Some people really get lucky , I damn with I had sgs just lying around.

Sim unlocking is purely allowing the device to accept sims from another network.
IMEI changing is certainly illegal in the UK and I'm pretty sure it is in the US and Canada.

Sell it to someone overseas, these go for 150-165 in xda marketplace, so a blacklisted one for 50-80 is fair enough.. have a small party with the cash and forget about it!!
Pm me because I'm overseas

[Q] tmobile insurance question

So the day i got my g2x i signed up for insurance that covers everything. And since tmobile discontinued the g2x, if i loose my phone or someone steals it, how will i get a replacement? Will they give me choices of different phones to choose from?
There's a thread in discussion that summarizes this: if something happens, you pay $130 and can choose an HTC sensation or if you push them a galaxy s2.

it's just like your auto or health insurance. Just because you pay the premiums, you still have a time of service deductible you're responsible for.
Now if it's a warranty problem, they send a refurbished G2x with a much smaller warranty processing fee
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Basically you have to pay for a replacement for anything other than hardware failure. So if you lose it or its stolen or water damage you have to pay. Now let's say your speakers fail or button stops working or even the charger port like mine was they will replace it for "free" as they say, but still make you pay a $5 fee to exchange your phone
Sent from my LG-P999
so lets say i make my own hardware issue and send them the phone, will they send me another g2x or one of the other phones?
Your fault= insurance= large deductible= different phone
LG 's fault= warranty= small processing fee= refurbished G2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
These deductibles are pointless. Might as well get a new phone. But to stay on topic, yeah you will still get your G2x refurb. If they dont have any, $130- $150 for S2 or Sensation.

Phone Esn?

Hello I just bought an s3 from tmobile and it's brand new in box I bought it with contract and can't pay for the bill due to some job trouble and I was strolling to the marketplace here in xda to sell it, but in some topics I read that if you don't pay for your bill the phone Esn will be blacklisted and people won't be able to get service with the phone, is that true? Does that make my phone worthless even though it's bnib? Thanks for reading

It's GSM so they CAN'T blacklist it. That only applies to CDMA devices (Verizon, Sprint, Boost Mobile, Cricket, Virgin Mobile, etc.)
So I can sell it without the buyer worrying about anything
