Free airrave? Get upgrade too! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey! Saw the topic about the airrave device.. T is true you can get one. I complained about my service and they sent me one free of monthly costs and for the device. Reason I created tuis topic was because this is also how I got an upgrade . If sprint sent you an airrave, good chance it is eligible for a free upgrade! I spoke with telesales (they get commission) he told me I could upgrade the airrave to the sgs2. I took the bait, best buy matched wal marts price in sept, I went to the store and got the e4gt for 173$ total! Still have the airrave, and even increased the range of the airrave (yes you can do that to ..). Sold my OG epic for 175$! Go try it if you want an upgrade and post your results here!

It means you can upgrade it, then do an esn change to your line speak with telesales and tell them how you want an upgrade and tell them you dont want to wait.. tell them to check all lines for upgrade and last resort tell them you saw online your airrave is eligible for an upgrade.. But has to be through telesales

Wouldn't you have to add a plan for that line because technically that is not an additional line?

Eligible for upgrade...but then your signing a two year contract with the airave. Doesnt it seem a bit fishy?

I'll double check, but when the airave plan is out back on it reverts back to no contract. Give me a few days to check it out.

Is there any way I can locate it+how much will it be to replace via insurance claim?

If you have insurance it shouldn't cost more than $40 to get a replacement.

Cops won't waste the resources for a phone that is not worth it.
Report it to T-Mobile and they will put the IMEI on a black list that it can never be used again...
I got a replacement via asurion
I'm not sure whether my stolen phone was imei blacklisted but they said it's now deactivated.
Actually pretty happy because my phone had tons of lines and a few scrapes+ scratched

Alternate Upgrade

I have a line with an upgrade that will be going to Verizon. Anyway I can use it on my line without having the other line's contract extended by 2 years? Waste of an upgrade if not used lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I don't think so. You have to extend the contract on the line you buy the phone on. I usually do this when other lines are due for upgrades and my line isn't.

If they blocked the IMEI then no AT&T nor T-Mobile user can use it.
And the risk you are going to end up paying for that if you don't return it it probably pretty high. And they aren't going to charge you what you can sell it for on the secondary market.

Ask yourself, is making a few hundred bucks worth being charged with mail fraud? Contact AT&T and return the device, it's the right thing to do.
Might of worked before but nowadays they track and black ball phones by imei. So not worth it when u get busted.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2!
Yeah if I were the OP I would definitely take it into the AT&T store and return it. Sooner or later the paper trail will lead back to the device. Even if the IMEI works and you sell it on Craigslist or something and then AT&T catches there mistake and turns it off. Whoever you sold it to might come looking for you. Or even worse have the cops show up at your door for mail fraud.
That's a felony, theft by mislaid/delivered property and also possibly mail fraud. I would return it since it's NOT YOURS. Just suggesting
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Just hold on to it for a couple of months, if you called att no one would know how to process a return in this situation. If you return it to the store an employee is going to just steal it or something. After a couple of months sell it. Fraud is when you intentually screw over the company, technically you found a lost phone. Lol
Btw this is called equipment gaming through att and per contract you will get your account canceled if they see this done multiple times, they will not take legal action. It's not worth there time nor does anyone care at att.

Att does not insure anything they send out, all att would do in this situation is send out a new phone for free because if it was insured the shipping company would make sure it was not lost and make him wait a week before he gets a new phone. Like I said just keep it for 2 months if something were to happen then they will be looking for it in that time.
If you wanted to make sure the phone is not on the blacklist, call att tech support desk and ask them to run the imei number because your thinking about buying a note 2 for a friend. The worst att will do is report the phone stolen but less likely because the phone is technically lost and they only report phones that are stolen.

Correct. Couriers are protected by mail fraud laws. Anyways, I've lost interest in this topic.
