So, I saw a girl write on Facebook that she is selling a T Mobile Galaxy S3. So I inboxed her and ask how much she wanted. She told me to make an offer, so I said I wouldn't pay any more than $300. Then she asked me would I pay $220? I told her yes!!!! Says its brand new used since June comes with box booklets etc and flawless condition! Did I just hit jackpot? Is the phone worth it? Anything I should "lookout" for? I'm a galaxy nexus owner by the way guys!!!

Hopefully she isnt scamming you by selling her phone, reporting it stolen, having TMo blackball your phone rendering it useless, using insurance to replace her 'stolen' phone and pocketing the leftover cash.
Other than that you did good!

Thanks for the heads up brother! And she told Me she's switching to carriers. And I attached the convo we had!

Ask her for the IMEI number so you can verify everything is in order with TMo, if she still has it. Than call TMo and ask them to tell you if everything is good with that phone, and have them document it in your account that you called.
"iSwitch"?
Something seems fishy... lol

Since you told her they are going for 300(which is really cheap to start with for a s3) and she offered you 220 for it, seems too good to be true.
But if everything checks out OK with the imei then yes you scored big time.
But make sure you get pictures over the device. I've ran into so many scams on Craigslist that it wouldn't surprise me if they migrated to Facebook.
My advice, proceed with caution

Either she's pulling a fast one in you if she's beyond stupid. You offered $300 but she only wants $220? What? Like everyone else said, verify the IMEI before you give her a single cent.
Sent from my SGH-T999
How do you verify the IMEI?
Does she lives near you? If so meet at T-Mobile and transfer the phone to your account on the spot.

I appreciate the replies guys. Honestly I think shes just a clueless teenage girl that has no idea how much its worth. Notice her spelling. She's about 18 years old I'm sure, and she's just switching carriers, I really doubt there's any fishy stuff going on, but I will see if she meets me at the T-Mobile store in our local mall. I don't wanna go there and have the people say something like "your selling it for only 220, that's unfair!" And blow everything up in my face :/ I wont be using the phone as my daily driver but I will switch from galaxy nexus to s3 every few days ^_^

He said that wouldnt pay more then 300 he never offered 300. She shot him a price and he accepted. Why is that hard to believe.

Because most people would say 'You wont pay more than $300? OK, $299'
Thanks for the help guys. I'm coming to conclusion that when I said 300.00 she assumed that's how much they go for brand new. So offered a lesser price. I highly doubt she has any cell phone knowledge. She told me its in flawless condition as well. Used for a few months. I'll contact her again and see what's up!

my galaxy s ii was stolen today at school and i was wondering if they will give me a new phone for free or will i have to pay full price again for a new one, I have insurance. Or can they like use the Satellite to track the phone down so they can give it back to me?
you will have to pay the deductible which is like $140 or something like that...
if you have the higher insurance it has remote tracking...i have never seen anyone go that route though and i would imagine the chances of recovering it are slim to none
If you call your number 69 times the phone will self combustion, causing severe 3rd degree Burns to the thief. Simply wait at the local ER and take the next burn victim to your local authorities.

the good thing about tracking through the tmobile insurance way is that they do it on their end right? its not reliant on an app that you downloaded...but i doubt that they will recover it though..its probably more if you left it somewhere, they could remind you of the area you were in or something
ive never used that method so im just guessing here

Call T-Mobile to blacklist IMEI number
I might be the luckiest person ever. I found a T-Mobile Galaxy S3.
Anyways, can I get in trouble for using the phone? Can T-Mobile somehow track the phone and disable it.
Thanks for your answers.
P.S. The phone has no contact store, so I can't really return it to the owner. The only dialed number is a company.
Go to t mobile store and return it. They will use IMEI to find the owner. If the owner report it stolen tmobile will black list the phone and you may not be able to use it anyway.

I am really surprised at all of the responses from people suggesting yuo should keep the phone or better yet, sell it to them! That is really the worst advice anyone can offer, what the hell are you guys thinking? It's dishonest and kind of sh..tty to suggest that they should keep the phone and hope the owner had insurance... if that's how you live your life, I am hope I don't live nearby you - - Karma my friends - the best thing to do would be to return the phone to any T MOBILE Store - what would you want them to do if it was your phone?
the poor soul who lost his/her galaxy s3 is probably pulling there hair and gouging there eyes out by now... so sad...
If I had found this phone, I would do everything in my power to get it back to its owner. When the owner finally gets reunited with the phone I doubt they would leave you walking empty handed however even if they do at least you know you have done a very amazing deed.
Who knows someday you may lose something and some generous soul will return your lost item to you. :angel:
Oh my feelings are hurt by all these strangers judging me online. Why don't you people believe me hehe
I think, I will just keep the phone on for a couple days and hopefully the owner will call
What the hell man, leave the phone in a T-Mobile store.

so if the phone still has a sim card and it works, just return the phone to tmobile and they will track the number and they could see who it belongs to!
do something great, people will do the same to you.
I agree with everyones (some) responses. I found a iPhone 4S with a pink case. I was able to get ahold of the owner (beautiful girl) and she cried and gave me so many thank yous. She offered $50 but i declined it. If i ever lose my baby (gs3) ...I would hope someone would do the same. Return the phone man..
My insurance was canceled....if I were to lose my phone I'd have to pay full price for a new one. I couldn't afford another Siii.
Return it to Tmo as has been suggested. To do anything less is theft.
If it was my phone, I would activate the mobile security app on the phone and track you down and then the police would arrest you for stealing my phone. But that's just me. By the way, mobile security comes free on most t mobile phones with the correct insurance. I wouldn't risk being labeled as a thief, even if you did somehow "find" it.

I just realized I qualified for an upgrade since april. I was thinking it was in augest.
Anyway, I wanna buy a new phone. I really don't want to sell my epic because I love it and I just want a new phone to keep on the side and not to actually use. So my number would stay on the epic and I would get a newer phone for my music and games and stuff. I don't think anyone would do this but I am lol I need my keyboard.
So I was thinking gs3 or epic touch.
But just incase I have to pay an amount of money that I don't have and I would have to give up my epic to get a newer phone would sprint buy this phone from me for a reasonable price? Like let's say $100?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I think Sprint will give your around $30-35 dollars.
You will get much more if you sell it online or some such.
You can use your upgrade to get a new Phone, probably around $200, and just not activate it, and then you can keep using your Epic.
Thanks said, if your Epic is in working order, and has a clean ESN, I would give you $100 for it.

Sprint doesn't allow buy backs of any of their devices which have dirty ESNS. Corporate retail employees who do this sort of thing can and will be subjected to disciplinary action of up to and including termination of employment. I know this personally from seeing about half a dozen of employees in our DM's market promoted to customer. You have to remember people that Sprint has a report on just about anything you do in RMS and are able to drill down to employee ID level.
They wanted to give me $60 for mine when I upgraded, but I decided to keep it and try selling it for a little more private.

My friend is on contract on T-Mobile he got the note 2 a month ago and he told ordered two replacement refurbished note 2's then he's done with T-Mobile he ain't sending it back or nothing just done paying it and keeping the phones. I told him he can get into trouble for that he can right?? Or does it just mess up his credit? He did it three years ago and nothing happened besides probably bad credit now.
I know a lot of people on Craigslist be getting new phones without battery and back piece and I once bought one and it wouldn't read my Sim card because he never paid it I'm guessing.
The phone will black listed, side note I exchange phones a bunch due to defects or little things Tmobile is becoming much more strict about what they will exchange abs are now charging $5-$20 to process exchanges I wouldn't be surprised if a bill is coming his way soon

They may bill for a full cost of a replacement phone. I used to work for a t-mobile dealer LONG time ago (9 years ago) and they did the same thing. If we had a customer walk in, we process an exchange on their behalf. But we tell them if they don't send original phone back, they will be getting a large bill. And few people did. T-Mobile does work with them, and will take the charges out if you return the phone.
The phones will be blacklisted. If he sells them the new owner is screwed. Maybe he is Ok with that. If he is, find another friend as this guy proved himself to be a slime ball.

You ever see "bad esn" in an ebay auction description for a cell phone...that is what your buddy's phones will have. They can pretty much can be used as a wifi mini tablet, unless he is able to flash the phone to another gsm carrier. Regardless goes against his credit also.

Again, not true. The phone WILL be blacklisted and won't work in the country unless you take it overseas maybe. How do I know? I deal with craigslist people and ebay listings for a meager living.
Phones will be blacklisted with Tmobile, Simple mobile and AT&T he will also be billed $600 for not returning the defective phone. The phones they send him will be factory refurbished which means it's just the phone there will be no battery, battery cover, Spen or charger.

Its probably the same as all of the pathetic dead beat people who think its OK to steal and don't think they should have to pay bills like the rest of us.
He'll have bad credit (which won't matter to him because he's apparently OK with stealing things anyway) and he'll get away with it for the most part while the rest of us law abiding citizens will continue to pay more for goods and services and more to cover for selfish people like this!!

Says the guy who's associated with a thief! Right, so scums like him can benefit a small portion whole the rest of us decent people pay for it! Then you'll be back here complaining about how much the deductible is for a flagship phone.

What you're talking about is theft and fraud. You're not going to get any help on criminal activity from anyone here. Nobody is going to give you advice on how to avoid going to jail. In fact, simply talking about it could implicate you for aiding and abeting and now there is proof all over the internet. Good luck.

So I might be purchasing a new phone through Craigslist, the guy doesn't have a receipt but claims to work for T-Mobile, and has the phone bought out right paid in full... If I just go to a T-Mobile and have them check the IMEI and the dudes plan, they can pull a receipt for him and me showing that it is paid up correct? Also, how can I go about preventing him from calling it in stolen or lost, and then me having a IMEI corrupted phone? Any word of advice fellas?
He will have to be present to give them permission to access his account. Then he will have to ask for the specific info and let you view it with him.
Then ask a store employee, not him, to remove the s3 from his account and make note of it in yours.
Make sure you view either an e-receipt, or his last two phone bills. Check if he's paying on an eip.
This is just what common sense would tell me to do. Not sure if there's an actual transfer of ownership they can do or what. But I would have to be highly satisfied with the info before handing over my cash!
Its a little extreme, but you could have a bill of sale written up, kinda like when you buy a car from an individual.
Just be comfortable with the situation and seller. It doesn't matter what steps you take, if he does something to get it blacklisted, you'll have no recourse w tmobile I don't think.

Almost exactly what I asked from him and the second I did ask, he backed out and said its too complicated and furthermore removed the post from CL... I didn't think about the last two bills but will if I decide to try again on another seller. Doubt I will though. Will just wait to see if someone buys my s3 or til next paycheck. Thanks Doc.

I'm in az and I personally carry so not too worried. Most wouldn't do a thing if the situation arises to it, all sneaky crack heads lol.
People are super sketch though,I had a conversation yesterday with the person not wanting to meet up at a T-Mobile and wanting my address to come buy my phone lol, they refused the idea of meeting public haha. Ya I resorted to just wanting to buy it at a store instead now. Still wanna sell the s3 though.
