I will be purchasing a galaxy nexus from a friend in a few days.He told me that he has not paid the etf fee for the phone, I was curious if the phone would work if I had a lte sim card or if I signed up for new service. Thanks for the help in advance.
You'll have to call Verizon and see what they can do if anything, they might not let you activate it.

The phone will be blacklisted from ever connecting to Verizon's network until your friend pays the money he owes to Verizon. Tell him to stop being a cheap ass and pay his bill.

I would suggest that you pass on this "gift".
Verizon usually doesn't usually budge on unblacklisting phones so you might be screwed.

Just buy the nexus from Verizon for the 150 it's running at right now. And tell your friend to stop being retarded and pay his bill.

Even better, buy it from Amazon for something like $0.01. Or if he's off contract there are plenty of non-blacklisted phones for sale on Craigslist, eBay, XDA marketplace, etc..

I recently got a letter and a call that said I would be dropped from sprint due to excessive roaming and even though I had legitimate reasons why I was roaming I couldn't sway their opinion so now I need to trade my sprint nexus for a gsm one if anyone can help let me know

Sell it on ebay? Should be able to get 300-350 which is around the cost of an unlocked one from the play store. Off contract the phone is 550$ so you shouldnt have a problem selling it for around that price.

There isn't a 32GB GSM version, is there? Just something to keep in mind while you're making deals.
Post in the Marketplace.
And GL getting a straight trade. The Sprint version is hardly worth what the GSM one is, even at the $399 Play Store price.
Can the gsm/hspa+ phone's be used on Verizon's network looking to buy one from google I've sent them a couple emails asking if it can i have gotten no answer yet

The things is, you can't be too sure about CDMA versions on eBay and the likes. They could be blacklisted on the networks.
Yeah...sucks but true. Verizon is CDMA. No getting around that. Either stay with Verizon and unlimited data and pay full price, pay subsidized price and get reduced internet, or jump ship.
I personally am going to get the HSPA+ one and use it with T-Mobile. 5 gigs of 4g and unlimited 3g for $30 a month

You have 45 days to open a buyer protection case, so no worries there. Just buy from a reputable seller and you're good. If you put it on a credit card, you can always do a charge back. I've bought around 50 cell phones on eBay, and only one was blacklisted. I contacted the seller and he gave me a full refund.

I guess you could give Verizon a ring and ask what the heck is going on.
Verizon marks phones for unpaid bills and other stupid ****. They black listed my Droid Incredible because I terminated my contract for the Nexus. DINC is literally a brick now.

That DINC can be used on alternate networks like cricket or metropcs that accept foreign esns... it not really hard to flash/reprogram them if you look a little bit.. that's the reason they are sold on craigslist all the time.
Before I took the plunge and bought a new GSM GNex for the $30 tmobile plan, that's I'll I did is buy bad esn phones off of ebay and reprogram them for my cricket account

I have been chatting with this girl on Craig list who wants to get rid of her sgs3 to help pay for an iphone later this week....
I know all the sprint / tmobile phones on Craig list eventually are blocked for non payment / reported stolen...
To my understanding att doesn't care about this stuff... At least last year the un didn't..
Is that still the case? Don't want to get this good deal on a phone just to have to unlock and sell it again..
Want to buy it for my sister

Actually yes att does block imeis for stolen devices. I work for them and it just came out. Its called blocklisting. Will not work on att and if you put an att sim in it it will suspend your service.

What if somebody opens an att account.. Sells their phone on Craig list and stops payments to it.. Will att block the phone they got with the contract?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Just meet up at the store make the purchase there. If the seller is unwilling to go there then tell them to screw off. They will have security cameras all over the place so there is evidence that this person is selling you the phone; and you will also have a witness that this is taking place so if later they claim that they never sold it to you and it was in fact stolen then you have some evidence in your corner. Legally speaking nothing is concrete but you have to think as litigious as possible because scum is everywhere.
And if you want to get really ridiculous you could type up a document stating that they will in fact pay in full the remainder of the contract and/or pay any fees necessary to keep "the specific ImeI" from being blocked from att service. You would have to have them sign it in front of a witness and a notary. If I were spending more than 400 bucks I would get this ridiculous. Then if you have to take them to small claims court this contract will be as good as any other contract and any judge worth a damn will force them to pay the damages.

If you sign up for a new 2 year contract on a Value Plan, then they'll give you $50 MasterCard.
Just FYI for those of you on another carrier and want a Note II on T-Mobile.
Don't mean to hijack the topic, but do you guys think waiting another month for Black Friday will have even more awesome deals from T-Mobile? $50 back is better than nothing.
I got 100 dollar master Card from them

Possibly, I mean if u wait a month after the release of a phone you'll get a better deal, but the plans themselves dont really vary much and promotions come once in a while. And no worries about thread hijacking not even sure if my thread qualifies for this thread
