Evening all, apologies for the probably noobish question but i've done a fair amount of searching and have to give in and just ask.
My younger brother got a xoom (32gb wi-fi and 3g) on contract in the uk with three, he then neglected to pay the bill entirely.
My question to you good folks is as follows...
Can three network bar it as they could with a mobile handset who's bill remained unpaid?
If i offer to pay off his contract as the helpful, older, wiser, better looking brother and then, confiscate his tablet and sell it to recoup my huge outlay - can anyone tell me if im going to get an angry winning ebay bidder messaging me to say that it doesn't work with their sim card as its been barred/blocked etc etc??
is there anyway i can check on the actual device?, at the minute it just comes up with "no sim" although the wi-fi works fine as you'd expect.
I just want rid of it, and to have my bank balance drained as little as possible before i send photos of my brother to every retailer asking them to politely remove him from their store.
Thanks for any help that you guys can provide.

Not to be a bummer but if you did pay off his contract you probably still have a huge dent in your wallet even after selling it. Probably best bet is to just keep with the contract and keep the XOOM since it is a decent device. I know that you want to sell it but I doubt you could sell it for all that much. And if you did pay off the contract your tablet should be unlocked so I doubt people would complain if they are blocked.
Just pop-in a different SIM to check if you still get a no-SIM error.

Nah i do agree in principle but I've already got 2 laptops assorted work and home phones and an ipad so the last thing i need is another bit of kit that'll turn into a paper weight, any money back from selling is better than none as i'm resigned to paying off his bill regardless under the understanding that the device becomes mine in exchange for his credit history not becoming ruined at the age of 18.
If i paid it off it'd be over a few months rather than in a lump sum just not the remaining 17 months thats left as i want it gone and off my mind asap!
they seem to be going for £200 plus on ebay which is £200 more than if i put it in the drawer and forgot about it.
Cheers for the reply though matey, much appreciated.

The simplest solutions are usually best and in this reply i think you've just epitomised that! Will try this asap.
I still wonder if they can actually be blocked/barred though?

Hmm I see, if you want to get rid and don't mind losing a bit of money, I suppose paying it off as soon as possible and selling it will be wise. And no it won't be barred or blocked if everything works out fine. Don't know about changing ownership, lol first I heard of that but you probably have to discuss it with three. Just curious, why did your brother grab that device knowing he can't pay for it? It would've been better if he just brought it outright if you asked me.

Not entirely sure of that myself matey? might try and beat the answer out of him at a later date though
Hey guys, it has been a while since I have been here. I am selling my MT4GS, I didn't want to initially, but I am in need of the money. It is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. I have been running Bulletproof on it for a while now, which I am sure those of you who remember me would already know. Let me know if anyone is interested. I am asking $250 obo. I would love it if it was someone local to Tucson, Az, but I doubt my luck would be that good.
Forgot to mention it is Soff, and has been since the first month of release.
I think selling it in ebay or in xda market place is the best way to go. The forum is full of members owning a doubleshot and it's very unlikely they'll consider buying another one.(although I bought another one myself).
Also you should lower the price a bit. I bought my 1st doubleshot for $220 including international shipping & the 2nd one for $180 a month ago(no shipping fee).
I think I may just send it to my mother. That would be more valuable to me than cash, knowing my mom had a quality phone.

How I got to keep my HOXL and got AT&T to send me a Galaxy SIII I747 free of charge
When my upgrade eligibility with AT&T came up last spring I decided that I needed to familiarize myself with the Android operating system. Having been a long time iPhone user (iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4) with a mostly positive experience, I had always been frustrated by Apple's lack of Flash support and (at the time) their refusal to adjust their screen size. Little did I know that both Adobe and Apple were just "sitting in the corner" laughing at me when I came to this rationalization. Naturally, I overcompensated and went with the Galaxy Note, which, IMHO was probably not the best fit for an Android noob like myself. I did a little more research, and just on the outskirts of my 30 day return window, the HTC ONE XL was gonna debut. Bought it on launch day May 6th (before the embargo ruined the party). Like everyone else I had concerns over the lack of storage expansion from 16 Gigs - my previous iPhone 4 was 32 Gigs - but felt confident enough to pull the trigger since the 25 Gigs of free Dropbox space was on the table and according to AT&T was in play. Having been Grandfathered into AT&T's unlimited data plan and being a moderate user (I average 6-8 Gigs a month and have only been throttled twice) I felt as though I could transition to Cloud storage with ease.
I wanted to wait as long as possible before establishing my Dropbox account so I could get the maximum out of the 2 years. It wasn't until late September that I learned of AT&T purposely opting out of participating in the deal. I still can't fathom the rational for this, since its always been my understanding that not only AT&T, but all the Carriers had absolutely nothing to do with this promotion because the deal was between HTC and Dropbox. You would think the Carriers would welcome this since it would increase data usage, thus gaining them additional revenue. I'm sure that people, much smarter than myself, who contribute to the XDA forums, have the answer to this burning question since i'm clearly clueless.
Anyway, no worries, I'll just simply "Root", "Rom" and Voilà....Uh-Oh... As usual I'm a day late and a dollar short and I miss my window with the initial Root exploit that HTC closed ---- ( BTW this is in NO WAY meant as a backdoor insult or complaint to the Developers and their tirelessly Godlike work that they perpetually churn out on a daily basis, nor is it to the rest of the "awesomesauce" that describes the entire XDA Community!!!!) Now, I know in the back of my mind, there is an obvious workaround -- which I'm sure has been explained in this forum before - attach service to your previous phone for a day or so --- snag a WiFi connection and establish your Dropbox account and Boom instant 25 Gigs --then simply reattach service to your HOXL --- but ya know what....now I'm Pissed....time to call AT&T....
I started by calling sales not customer service too vent my complaint
1st Barrier ---- I get the initial non-decision making Dingbat ... As quickly as possible, I dispensed of this person and got a supervisor - I explained my issue and advised that AT&T did a "bait and switch" on me and strongly emphasized how ILLEGAL this practice is .....
2nd Barrier --- supervisor said he had no idea what I was talking about and that he had never heard of this "Dropbox freebie thing" (keep in mind I'm speaking with the sales department) --- this was easily refuted as I told the gentleman to try opening the box -- you know --the one with the AT&T logo on it that the HOXL comes in -- and to look at the paperwork inside --- it advertises the promotion!!!! Clearly his plausible deniability is out the window....
3rd Barrier --- "Can't help you because it's not our promotion..." No kidding -- that's the point..... I went on to explain how I was well aware that it wasn't their promotion and how it makes it worse because they purposely had to "opt out" --- emailed him the link to the Dropbox page explaining the promotion and How AT&T and VERIZON opted out (keep in mind the promotion is for any new HTC device running Sense 4.0 not just the HOXL) He continually stated that it wasn't their promotion for which I replied that I knew that and that it didn't matter whose promotion it was. I advised him, that I signed a contract with AT&T based on that information and that the Dropbox offer was used by AT&T as a selling tool to that end and that's why this is a bait and switch situation and that the practice is ILLEGAL
4th Barrier --- "How do we know that you were told about this offer and that our employees used this strategy...." I emailed him a link from androidcentral (Being that this is my very first post on the XDA forums protocol prevents me from posting the link that I sent ... but I can tell you that androidcentral was the original source for the "article" titled "AT&T HTC One X will have free Dropbox space, company spokeswoman affirms" and was dated Apr 24 2012) --- granted this is simply an unofficial "blog site" that can basically say anything they want but I advised him that this story was picked up by all the other major 'tech sites" and it has never been refuted by AT&T. In addition the "AT&T Spokeswomen" is Jackie Vettorino. Her official title is - Digital PR/Social Media Strategist for AT&T - She is basically their Top Dog when it comes to dealing with the press - She is widely known to many media outlets because of her role as the Point-man..er..Point-woman on "Throttlegate" last fall. I explained to him that because of her fairly high profile, it would be extremely remote that the story was fabricated or that she had somehow been grossly misquoted because of the likeliness of serious repercussions... but I did offer to three-way her office --- He declined. I also, again referred him to the materials that came in the box with my phone -- yes the Box -- the one produced and manufactured for AT&T with their logo splashed all over it.
5th Barrier --- "Did you purchase your phone and contract from a Corporate store or online through the official AT&T website ...." I told him that i didn't and that I used an "Authorized Retailer" (My friend works there and I wanted her to get the commission. To be honest, at the time I didn't know it wasn't a corporate store -- they only sell AT&T product and the only name mentioned inside or outside the building was the official AT&T logo all decked out in that crappy blue and orange - no offense to all you Miami Dolphin fans. It had been years since I had been in an AT&T store - all my recent dealings had been at an Apple store) He began to tell me that I would have to "take up this issue" with the store and that it was "out of his hands". I promptly asked him who my contract was with - He stated AT&T. I immediately repeated the question - he again correctly answered AT&T - I asked the question 3 additional times in succession and he scored a perfect 5 for 5. Finally, I asked him if he knew what the word "authorized" meant, as in "Authorized Retailer" and during my reading of this definition (straight from .merriam-webster.com) he interrupted me by resignedly asking me "what I wanted...."
Aah!!! ... Success. I went into this endeavor with the hopeful expectation that AT&T would credit my account the price of what I would have to pay for cloud storage for 2 years - It's soft money and almost always AT&T's go to when they screw up. Well after almost 90 minutes on the call, I quickly rethought my position and like any successful Rep will tell you "Ultimately, you always have to ask for it". I told the supervisor that there were 2 options:
1) AT&T could release me from my contract without penalty and refund my full purchase price for the phone...not something AT&T wants (nor did I ... again I stay because of my unlimited data plan) or....
2) Replace my HOXL with an equivalent phone that has expanded storage options at zero cost to me - of course we both knew that the only possible replacement was the Galaxy SIII
Without hesitating he asked me what color I wanted and to what address I wanted it shipped -- The phone arrived at my doorstep, Oct 2, precisely 27.5 hours from the time I ended the call. After 2 weeks and another lengthy call - this time to Customer Service - I was able to successfully argue that my contract start date should be reinstated to the original May 6th date and not the Oct 2nd citing that the SIII was not an upgrade but a replacement phone.
I created this Post not to boast or pat myself on the back, but rather as a template for other HOXL owners who may be feeling slighted by AT&T's consistently awful business practices. Hey, It doesn't have to be an SIII --- it may be a great way to offset HTC's poor decision of putting out a part deux a mere 6 months into release of their "flagship" X series. Why is it always the early adopters and loyal supporters who seem to get hosed ... but I gotta say the HOXL+ is looking mighty Dope. Although, I do question the decision of not going with a RAM increase, (can anyone confirm this?) While its not a huge hindrance, I do get a "load screen" every now and then. It just seems as though 1 Gig is really riding the line, at least with ICS 4.0.4.
That's awesome bro lol. I wish I could pull some shiz like that.

Great first post. Sometimes I want to tell AT&T these things. I just seem to always get a very helpful customer service rep who always make me feel warm and cared for inside. =)
After this month I'm getting pretty pissed about being throttled to 500kbps after 5GB.
whys everyone mad.... of course they gave him an s3....it's a downgrade and very likely a refurb.

ATT= Cash Cow
Defrauding the public = illegal
Free phone to satisfy a customer who was LIED to and keep taking their money = MORE PROFIT
No sympathy for them. First or third world. Corporations and governments take advantage of all of us in order to make another buck.
Fight the man and stand up for yourself no matter where you live. Isn't that why XDA came into existence in the first place?

You know what else for-profit companies do? They pass their expenses down to their customers. They aren't going to eat the expense of giving out free phones like this. You're not "fighting the man". Its nice to think idealistically like that, but it really doesn't work that way. The cost gets handed down to us in the form of higher device costs, higher service costs, etc.
Their was likely no "defrauding of the public". Bonus offers like the one for Dropbox almost always come with a disclaimer that the terms of the offer can be changed at anytime, and without notice (including rescinding the offer itself). And AT&T opted out of the offer a long time before September. Just because a piece of paper has been sitting in the box since May, doesn't mean the offer is still valid.
If AT&T wanted to keep a customer happy, I can see letting him switch to another phone, if the One X is so "unacceptable" due to low storage. But it would have made the most business sense to demand the One X be returned. Otherwise its just motivation for people to game the system and get free phones.

No. XDA developers came into existence because we believe that if we bought a device, it's ours to reverse engineer or do whatever we want with it.
What you are doing is trying to game the system to get free stuff. It's SHAMEFUL.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
IMHO and no disrespect to the OP, after spending so much time talking to their customer service, I would have been very upset if ATT tries to compensate me with an S3, I would have preferred an HTC One X+, too bad is not available yet.
OP, I need to give you props for your effort. In your particular case, I think you did the absolute right thing in complaining to AT&T about the whole issue. You getting the S3 for free is just a bonus in my eyes. IMO, this isn't defrauding a company; it's a situation where the customer was promised something and wasn't delivered by the company and the company made things right.
Congrats on the phone. Although i prefer the one x, gs3 is easier to work with for roms.
I'm surprised AT&T finally gave in. I guess they realized you were persistent and it wasn't worth it.
P.S. 6-8GB isn't moderate use by any means. You're lucky to be on unlimited data.
Great job dotsquad. Maybe others will get the same results.
As for the two that think this is shameful and wrong, ATT doesn't care about you. They only want your money regardless if their products or service work as advertised. And losing dotsquad as a customer costs them more than giving him a new phone and keeping him. Higher costs would be passed on if he went to another carrier.
Give customer a new phone, less than $250
Lose the customer, lose $1000+ per year. They don't really give you anything other than the next monthly bill.
And remember Randall Stevenson CEO of ATT lost the company 4+billion dollars with the failed T Mo merger, and then received a 22million bonus. 4 billion in costs passed on to customers.
If you really want to complain about something, that might be a better start.

You know I may try something similar to this. Although not talking about DropBox I genuinely thought that the HTC One X had 32GB of space (and it does). I didn't know the At&t version, or as I know now the HTC One Xl only had 16GB. And the thing is I remember asking the sales associate at Wal-Mart (which is also authorized reseller as you may know) "How much space does it have" and she said "32GBs". I was like yesss, because I have a bunch of music, take a lot of video and photos and of course fill up on apps. Now I have to constantly clear things up. And I didn't notice it only had 16GBs until my return period was up (I was too amazed at android and didn't really download many apps until later on, I switched from iOS ).
So what do you think my odds are at getting a device with 32GB?
----------
And yes I tried to make it work but I just can't. I haven't complained about the space issue but here recently it's beging to be a real problem.
All I need to say is 'good work'

Improper research before buying a device. And I wouldn't trust a Walmart employee to give me any correct information on phones, or an AT&T rep, for that matter. That part was clearly the Walmart employee's bad. But in the future, just do your own research. How hard would it have been to just read the box, before purchasing?
This is the exact reason that this thread is a poor precedence. Now people are trying to get free phones, for their own mistakes.
Ok so I just killed my screen completely (had a cracked screen, replaced it with new screen and loca, but eventually the screen died from i don't know what).
1 year into 2 year contract with my step dad's family plan. If I was currently employed, i would pay up for a new phone or what not.
I see now that the S3 is $49 with new 2 year contract, would be cheaper than buying a new screen/digitizer on ebay. Any way I can work that with verizon?
I could probably sell the phone as is for around $150-200 or so, which would help cover costs of a new one, but if I say the phone is lost /stolen, that would kill the esn.. I don't know what to do at this point.
What do you guys think?
It cost $176.81 for Samsung to fix it plus it'll regain it's warranty again. Too me it's not worth renewing a 2 yr if you plan on sticking with an s3.
I was thinking of trying to get early upgrade like this, claim im not happy with the phone (like say it has been slow for 4 months or so) and want an s4.

If you still have a year left in the contract I highly doubt that that would work.
If your local mall has a Cellairis, digitizer replacement is only $100... at least it is out here.

Is your phone paid off? If not, then you can't sell it.

As @darkjedi said, you can't sell it if it has not been paid off. Untill the phone is not paid off that note 5 that you have is not yours, it belongs to t-mobile untill you pay it off.
I mean, sure you can sell it, but you'd be a gigantic tool if you haven't paid it off. My friend bought an S6 off CL, the guy hadn't paid it off, then reported it stolen. My friend had to pay to get a new IMEI. Shady.

You could sell it to an acquaintance and be upfront about the fact that you haven't paid it off. Take the money from the sale and buy the 6P and continue to make the payments on your Note 5. In essence you'd be making payments on your new 6P. So yes, technically it can be done. There's nothing that will make it not work. You just need to be upfront about it.

If you're on jump on demand your swappa listing would not have even listed because the admins wouldnt have allowed it. Swappa is actually amazing. I don't sell a phone any other way, but I digress... If I were you (and I'll be doing the same here soon) I would buy the 6P...go the T-Mobile store and jump to the cheapest "jumpable" phone...you would have only like a 5 dollar charge every month for the cheap phone. While you're there tell them to activate the 6P...leave store with both phones...head home...Make a sandwich. Done

Just jump to another phone if you're on Jump on Demand... That's the reason you got the phone on jump originally right?

If tmobile carried the nexus 6p this would be soo much easier but I've heard that only the Google store is going to provide the phone.. They don't carry anything better than note 5 imo...

If you're on jump on demand your swappa listing would not have even listed because the admins wouldnt have allowed it. Swappa is actually amazing. I don't sell a phone any other way, but I digress... If I were you (and I'll be doing the same here soon) I would buy the 6P...go the T-Mobile store and jump to the cheapest "jumpable" phone...you would have only like a 5 dollar charge every month for the cheap phone. While you're there tell them to activate the 6P...leave store with both phones...head home...Make a sandwich. Done

Didn't flame, nor did anyone else that I am aware of. XDA was pretty bad with flaming back a while for sure tho, even had little crews that would do really just that. Thankfully tho, for the most part that is over. Generally speaking, if you post in the wrong area a moderator will move it, no reason to start another thread with the same topic is all I was saying. You can click report thread, then thread maintenance and request it moved, if they feel it's in the wrong section they move it.

Guys here's the key difference between JUMP and JOD : with JUMP after you make your stipulated 24 payments the phone is YOURS. With JOD when you fulfill your 18 month lease contract the phone MUST be traded for another phone at the T-Mobile store OR THE BALANCE ON IT PAID OFF.
This is clearly stated by T-Mobile. JOD is for people who want the latest phones and DON'T CARE about ownership.
So OP in your particular case you have to pay off the phone FIRST and then sell it as you please.
People please know what you're getting into before you sign for any program!!!

It's actually practically the same thing though as TMOBILE is now allowing the balance at the 18 month period to be spread out into a final 6 payments. In addition, the total amount paid regardless of program is the same if you intend to keep the device. It's just presumed that if you're on JOD you won't actually go that long without jumping to something else.

Thank you. Why do people act as if you are doing jump on demand it is somehow costing you more or that you don't have the option of keeping the device? To me it's all about options. If at the end of the lease you want to keep the phone just pay the remaining price (either in full or another installment plan). And if you were to add up what you already paid with what is left over it is the same exact price as if you purchased it outright from the start - nothing more. If you want to own the phone prior to the lease's end (for example you want to sell the phone) you can pay off the phone in full anytime prior to the lease ends. So I don't understand why a person wouldn't take the option of JOD as it just gives you options. For example I used one of my jumps to upgrade from the 32gb to the 64gb. And since they had the sale of $100 off my bill is actually cheaper. I actually came out $31 ahead as I had my first 3 months paid via a samsung promotion and I only made two payments when I made my jump. As I keep saying (and have read others saying it as well) JOD is all about options.
I thought the whole point of the 'Jump' program, was you get a nice new phone like the Note 5, make your monthly payments, then say come Spring time, you want the shiny new HTC One M10, you bring in your Note 5 and exchange it for the One M10, costing you nothing, except maybe tax ?
And I think you can do that three times over 18 months ?
That's the program I am on, maybe that's called JoD ? But whatever, I think that's the best way to go IMO. My monthly bill will stay the same, and I can get up to three different phones over the course of a year and a half.
I signed up with T-Mobile to get the Note 5 back in August, and joined the JoD program, I won't keep this Note 5 past the Note 6 release. I will either A; get something this Spring, like the HTC One M10, or maybe LG G5, or the Nexus 6P if T-Mobile ever get's it. Or B; wait for the Note 6. But no way do I keep a phone for 18 months, there's always something else I go for.

Yep, that's the advantage of JOD. However, the price of what your monthly payment will change based on the price of the phone. If you jump to a phone that costs more than the one that you are turning in the monthly payment will increase. Conversely if you jump to a phone that costs less than the one that you are turning in your monthly payment will decrease. Also with JOD you pay nothing up front - the taxes are included in your monthly payment. Also keep in mind that each time you jump you are starting the lease over and it's as if you didn't make any payments on the phone that you are turning in.
