Haha, but yeah - You won't get the unlock code from them if you have a past due balance.

Someone on this forum has done it in the past; prob search it out to see their experience.

Maybe he didn't pay it because he spent it on vacation or maybe it's not our business.

It was either pay the bill or go on vac and enjoy cold beer and hot woman. Which one would u choose? I'm in Dominican republic right. I called and paided half the bill. Would they unlock then?

Nope, it's gotta be paid in full. Enjoy the sun dude! Deal with that when you come back!

As glhturbo had pointed out in another thread, cellunlock.net does it for $20/phone but with this code crackb50 you get 50% off. Worked great for my T-Mobile Sensation. Enjoy! =)

I'll just wait til I get home how much does an unlock sensation go for on ebay

Got my unlock code from TMobile, only took 24hrs. Is there a way to enter the code without using a non TMobile sim card? I know you could do this with G2x but not sure about the Sensation.

I too interested whether the need for unlock T-Mobile SIM card

Why would you need to stop unlock the phone without a job-tmo card? Besides being able to use it on another companies network (at which point you will have another sim card) what else does unlocking do for you?

[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?

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

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

Sent from my HTC Sensation

You can simply call it in to T-Mobile or if a ESN is blocked put your sim in and see if you can make calls and use data

Tell the seller you want to meet at a tmobile to do the deal, and you just want a rep to verify ESN, IMEI. If the seller balls at this, walk away.
If the seller is legit this shouldn't be a problem.

[Q] Different Carrier??

So I found a HTC One X from AT&T on the side of the road the other day, surprisingly in great condition. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, have SuperCID, and have S-OFF. I was wondering if anyone here knew if it is possible to change this phone over in order to use on the Virgin Mobile network?

Don't be surprised if someone comes looking for it. Very simple matter to track these phones to their exact location.

Nope, Virgin uses Sprint network CDMA as opposed to GSM for ATT

When i lost my sensation I used Google play and maps combo to track it within 30'
If imei has been registered with Google it can be easily tracked even without a aim card as long as it gets WiFi signal. And the phone can easily be blacklisted as long as imei is known.
And on the point of using it on virgin mobile if they are at all like Verizon they will have a SIM but only for the 4g data. Like a sprint iPhone. Uses cmda for calls and the sim for data connection.

He should just buy his own device, and look in the one xl for a contact named mom, dad or something and call and let them know u found the phone. That's the right thing to do.

@31ken31 I know it's the right thing to do, but I was just answering his question.

So you didn't try to find the owner and return the phone? That's pretty dodgy man.

Finders keepers I assume. Lol when I left my hox at
the grocery store I was happy the person who found it was honest. They called my mom and told her it was found, I had it back an hour later. Worse part was I didn't realize I had even lost it yet
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

Karma. If you take someone's property without even trying to return it, you deserve to have your property stolen or destroyed without a word of complaint.

I tried to return the phone....the phone was locked and I was unable to retrieve any numbers from it. There was a missed call on the lockscreen and I called that number but it had been disconnected. I put an ad on craigslist for a "FOUND LOST PHONE", I got a few replies but they were all looking for a different brand of phone.I have found atleast half a dozen phones in the last year and returned everyone of them. It's not like I just picked up the phone and immediately done a factory reset so I could start using it.

As long as a honest attempt was made. But you will need to switch to a gsm carrier and need an unlock code

I read a thread for the One S that said the unlock code could be mathematically derived from the IMEI. Any known method such as this for the One X?

No. The same method may work. Never tried it.
