How can I get my phone meid unlocked so that I can send it to beigephone and get it flashed to page plus. This DFB didn't pay her bill so I'm stuck with a bolt I can't do anything with but Wi-Fi use any ideas

I guess is that it's not possible fml

i have no intentions of flashing to another carrier, but several thunderbolt users i've seen have been able to flash to pageplus. you may need CDMA workshop if you want to do it yourself, i think CDMA workshop is around $100.00. there's a free demo version too, but i'm not sure that the demo would be sufficient to do this.

I'm not sure that you can 'unlock' an meid yourself, that's something the carrier has to do (with stolen phones and whatnot)
So if it's on her account, she'll have to get in touch with them herself and give her IMEI number and account details. They should then give an unlock code to make the phone usable again.
If that IMEI number has been flagged (as stolen or possibly delinquent) even an unlocking service won't be able to help you until the carrier clears it.

What you are looking for is to CLEAR the MEID/IMEI so that it can be used on another account.
You can't do that. Only the carrier can. Until the account is settled/paid with the carrier, that MEID/IMEI will be associated/assigned to that account and therefore can't be used on a different account.
Since PagePlus uses VZW towers/service (to my knowledge), you're stuck until the old account issues are settled.
Yup I'm stuck with Wi-Fi only thunderbolt this sux I guess she won in the long run although I have seen some nice prepaid phone's I seen an HTC one and some evo 4g's that have ics and are affordable virgin mobile and boost have unlimited data

So someone else didn't pay the bill for your phone and you're mad about it? Why don't you pay for your own phone?

Nope...once you go to SM you are free of T-Mo. However, if you use Wifi calling or other T-Mo branded items you will not be able to use them on SM.
I did have a data loss last week with Simple here in Sacramento. They had tower issues. But nothing else of consequence.
One issue that I have had. On virtually every ROM is editing the APN. YOu can usually edit it once, but when you go back in often the APN's do not show up. Food for thought.
Lol. Hmm thank God. I'm going to get sm tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Actually you can and do get 4g depending on where you are located. I am in Sacramento and get 4g speeds on SM.
Your plan also has to do with speeds. If yo are on the $40.00 plan yes, you are restricted to 3g. If you pay $60.00 then you get 4G.
And no you do not have to unlock for SM.
They do offer a $60/month plan that has 4G. As usual the giant word plastered all over their website and retailers is "unlimited" - which, as we all know, is a load of crap. Yes it's "unlimited internet" - however you get 1gig at 4G - then the rest of the month you're throttled to a whopping 56k (so useless you can't even stream a song with it).
As for the disappearing APN problem - if you run the CM7 ROM, and you're APN's are not in there - all you have to do is pull the battery out, restart the phone, and the APN's are back in. Also as pointed out the specialized apps for t-mobile like the wifi calling app won't work.
Anyway - all that being said - I've been on Simple with my G2X for 3 months and it works quite well for me. Only wish they offered more data in the plans - so I try to stay connected to a wifi hotspot as much as possible.
I thought there flyer says 2gigs of data hahaha on the 60 dollar
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes you do have to be unlocked on simple mobile. You cannot use a simple mobile sim in a locked phone. You also get 2gigs of data on the $60 plan and 4g if available in your area.

Well not exactly. If you buy the phone out of contract then you can use the phone without a data plan. That's exactly what I did with my G2X and I don't have any data plan on it. They also aren't bugging me to get one either.

Like another poster stated, they only force you in to a plan w/data if you pick up a new phone through contract. Out of contract deals are totally safe and you can use wifi for Internet all you want
My mom apparently asked a person at the tmobile store if this was possible and he said no because the phone will search for internet and update itself and then you will get charged for data usage. Do you have to turn the data off on the phone?

I find it rather disgusting that verizon offers you a coupon for your personal information. Google just invited our family into a similar thing but they mailed 5 real dollars. And you get a $100 gift card per month if you let them install a router in your house to track data usage.
So how does that wonderful coupon look now? And to think your info is worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars to them.
Hello and welcome to the data mining that is as old as the internet. Nothing new here other than giving you the choice to opt out.
I hope that none of the people here on their soap boxes, complaining about this ever use Facebook... they do this ALL the time and rarely let you know... let alone opt out.
If they traded whoring out your info for a discount off your bill or a upgrade in half the time that would be better than a ****ing coupon. Pricks.
Better and funnier than your tapatalk signature
I'm just shocked that people pretend to be shocked over this.
Can someone flash my phone to the 80 prepaid verizon or the 45 straight talk plan . I had my verizon service cut off and was told i could get verizon prepaid and cant and was told by stright talk i cant get there plan and now i have a phone with no service please someone help me

I would understand if the device was leased..but last I checked cell companies don't do that.
If you are paying anywhere between 200 and 600 bucks fit something they will never see again and plan to switch providers but now can't afford a handset then it's bs.

To be clear though the law does not outlaw unlocking the phone.
You are still legally able to unlock the device but you need to have the code from the manufacturer or carrier.
It makes it illegal to hack the phone to sim unlock like what is done with the iPhone.
If buy it on contract I can understand it, sort of...
If you buy it retail its not locked in the first place, at least not here. Hell, I dont think even contract phones are locked lol (my blade wasnt).
Americans :silly:
