If I threw my phone on Craigslist for a trade, and we met up at a Sprint store, and had the devices switched; is it possible for him to report his device stolen, even if it's transfered to my account?

The app has to be in US dollars to bill to the carrier.... It converts it for you automatically but if it's not originally in dollars the option will not be there.... Also you can only carrier bill from your phone... It will not work for the web market

So I bought a phone from a friend and I was wondering now that it's activated, is it truly mine? I ask because he bought it using his account an upgrade under his name. How can I make it truly mine, if that makes sense. That way if I need support from Verizon, I can take the phone in.

Okay thanks. Can he report any issues with that phone then? Cause he wants it back an I already paid and traded another item. Can he do anything like reporting it stolen?

I don't see how this will work if you actually buy a phone full price and not on a contract. Because like you stated, if you buy something it's yours.
Interesting

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.

wow in the UK we went the opposite way a couple years back. We totally got rid of the power to lock down devices! It just makes no sense to lock them

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).

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

Basically I'm thinking of buying this phone and using it with a prepaid plan. Is there a way to unlock it to use on a different carrier?

I doubt there will be decent responses until the VZW version is released...
You can use the sprint version with page plus.
