[Q] Can I use my verizon contact phone as a donor for ppc and still us the phone - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi, I flashed my mom's galaxy s3 to page plus but only 1x data. I have my own galaxy s3 on contact and I was wondering can I use it as the donor and still use it as my phone. Or would it be illegal cloning. I'd like to know as fast as possible. Both phones are verizon.

Ok, I don't think you would be able to. I would get another device to do it. I used the i500.
From what I understand the secret keys are very specific to the device and not general

Upgrading question

I have an infuse on a family plan. one of the person on my line can do upgrade right now but they have an iPhone4. i was wondering can they do their upgrade and once they get the phone can i just switch my Sim over to that phone and use it or would that be a problem?

I don't see a problem in doing so. As long as you have the correct plan to use the phone. I always switch phones all the time.

Oh ok because i don't want them to deactivate that person sim card because i did the upgrade already to an galaxy s2.

Need phone outta contract

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?

Voice & Data?

Used to be you couldn't use voice and data at the same time on VZW unless you were connected to WiFi. Someone told me that with 4G you can do both now. Fact or fiction?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Most 4g android phones if not all can. IPhone 5 cannot due to apple not taking extra effort to do the antenna right. Galaxy s3 and some HTC phones can also do simultaneous voice and data while on 3g too
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yea u can surf the internet and talk on the phone at the same time with 4g lte....all 4g android phones through vzw can do it #fact
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
the old iphone I thought used to be able to? Now they cant hahaha jokes on them. But than again with the iphone almost everyone with one has data caps so thats why you see all apple users on wifi all the time. Not meeeee unlimited 4g wooot.
Definitely can. Do it all the time on my GS3.
*sent from a Galaxy not so far away...*
Not trying to sound like a jerk. But I see in you SIG that you have the S3. Why didn't you just try it out?
I know when I go to get new phones I try to test that feature out before anything else. Feathering to my tablet so that I can stream music and being able to receive a phone call is very convenient. And a must have. Any way, to answer your question like others have. 3G and 4G. Fact.

When did Verizon change so we can talk on the phone and surf at the same time?

Probably about five years ago. I used to do It on my HTC eris

Thunderbolt was the first to allow simultaneous voice and data on 3g. You maybe have been on WiFi on the eris.

Well AT&T figures if you're dumb enough to pay to be on their network you're probably also dumb enough to believe that too....
If you are/were an AT&T customer I mean no offense, I'm just not a fan
I think those commercials are for the iPhone 5. I believe it has something to do with the Verizon iPhone not being able to do it.

I believed it and until now still believed it. Didn't stop me from dumping AT&T two years ago.

Switching phones with someone else.

My dad is due for an upgrade and is thinking of getting the s4. He doesnt really know how to use anything from a technology standpoint so he is willing to let me have it and he'll take my s3. My question is do I need to be completely stock to switch phone numbers etc...? Thanks for any help.

Nah, just put your sim card in the S4 and his in the S3.

Hey thanks man. Do I need to activate his first or will mine act like a new one in the s4?

If you put yours in the S4 then the S4 will be active with your phone number. Your dad will have to get his SIM card activated to use on your S3
