Hi all..
I am at a loss.. I am a GSM guy and not too familiar with CDMA stuff.. Right now Cricket is running a special where one can get unlimited talk & Txt for $25/mo... That would be perfect for my son... I went to the local cricket store to talk to the sales rep (he wasn't that knowledgeable it seemed).. but he said in our market I need a tri-band phone to work.. I am inthe Milwaukee/Chicago Region.. Anyone know the story here? I don;t want to but a Touch PRo ot Touch, flash it, and then find out it won;t work... Thanks in advance
I was told to come to this site and you could tell me if i could get my iphone to work on other carriers. I bought it and was told I could use Straight Talk or At&t on it,but I cant figure out how. It is threw verizon and I have no idea if a bill is owed or anything and just want to get prepaid service on it, how do i do this?
Sir ,
You are inthe wrong forum for such question. Here is all about Android .
Thanks for understanding
Thread closed, thank you.
Here's my problem:
I recently brought a SAMSUNG Galaxy S5 Sport SM-G860P by Sprint from eBay. The problem is when I asked the previous owner to help me with the unlocking,
the previous owner told me that he/she is unable to contact Sprint due to poor network reception in his/her area.
And so I thought I can simply unlock the phone by calling Sprint (the way I use to call Verizon when I purchased phones from eBay), but no.
Sprint required more information compared to Verizon when comes to unlocking the phone for you.
I told Sprint that I was unable to provide the account number, security PIN, etc. of the phone due to I brought the phone from eBay
& moreover is that I'm residing in Singapore (outside of the USA), but Sprint apologies that they're unable to further proceed with the unlocking service
due to lack of information.
Here's my request:
Would truly appreciate anyone could help me with my problem & willing to donate a small sum of funds via PayPal to whoever managed to unlock my phone.
My phone's information:
Brand & Model: SAMSUNG Galaxy S5 Sport SM-G860P
Carrier: Sprint, U.S.A
Phone Number: 321-987-2207 (previous owner Sprint's mobile number)
Phone's IMEI : 990004697012726
Phone's MEID : 99000469701272 (HEX), 256691517707344754 (DEC)
Phone's OS : Android 5.0 (lollipop)
Hey!
That is pretty lame that you can't unlock your phone.....I've been talking to my bro as he moved to Australia and had to get his phone unlocked. he said he just took it to town and got someone froma phone shop to do it, it did cost him about $200 for this though! But he did say that he was recommended a website that might be able to help. I've not used it before, but I've noticed a few other people have

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the website shared by you doesn't my phone (G860P)
and also turns out that the previous owner didn't finish clearing the outstanding payment
for this phone's account, therefore I'm unable to get the unlock code from Sprint's technical specialist.

No problem, sorry I couldn't help further.
I would suggest that you take it to a local shop to get it unlocked? They won't need to worry about the previous customer. :fingers-crossed: It looks like the person that sold it to you probably didn't want to pay the rest of their bill. (or not, just my personal opinion) Anyway I really hope you'll be able to sort this out soon, it's not nice to hear people getting messed around.

Actually I can understand how the previous owner feel about Sprint's services. Firstly some sites where people mentioning that Sprint
doesn't have a good coverage in U.S and secondly their have poor customer service. So I wouldn't really wanna put the blame on the
previous owner. :angel:
But I'm really glad that at least someone respond to my call for help in technical assistance.

Well as long as you are happy! That's all that matters, I tend to not by second hand phones..........I used to work in a second hand company and the horror stories you'd hear on a daily basis!!
You can easily unlock oyur S5 Sport by using this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
It also worked for me in Germany. Once you hit the Unlock button, reboot your phone. Dont forget to put the phone in GSM Mode in Mobile Network Settings !
enjoy
I recently spent money that I REALLY didn't have on a Sprint Flex 2 because a friend of mine's friend claimed to be in a bind and needed urgent help and I knew my boyfriend had been wanting this phone and honestly, I'd been wanting his! However, after getting home with it I'd noticed it had a Google Account lock so I paid someone to bypass it, which was easy and worked like a charm... Then, I realized that it was Sprint and my bf has an att sim! I I contacted that same guy and for some reason his program just decided it wouldnt work with my computer anymore so wasted more money, I then found another guy and he said to go to swappa.com and make sure it wasnt blacklisted which it was obvious its not beacuse if my bf would habe sprint itd be working perfectly. I paid this new guy to get a new IMEI code for it and he hasnt answered me back and honestly i dont see how he can claim it to b blacklisted, but anyway i need a carrier unlock done like YESTERDAY!!! PLEASE HELP!!

I love Straight Talk but, i keep encountering the problem. Every time i purchase one of their phones, i NEVER am able to find a Rooting method that works. I unfortunately broke my phone this evening, so tomorrow i'll most likely be purchasing a new Straight Talk phone. Does anyone know which Straight Talk phones can be easily rooted?
I appreciate the assistance!
Hi !
This Straight Talk it is a network provider right ? They apparently have a wide variety of devices so we can`t know which ones
If you want to root a device you must first know what device is that .
You can contact the provider for more assistance , the carrier might be unlockable and also rooting impossible without their accept
Good luck !
