IMEI Unlock - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Long story short, need help getting my note 2 unblocked. TMobile blocked it because they thought they lost it during shipping. Well I got the phone, used it for 4 days and then got blocked. Any help?

I'd recommend getting help from T-Mobile via their live chat service.
http://support.t-mobile.com/community/chat
More efficient than calling.

Been on the phone with tmobile for the whole week. They wont help out. They basically sent me another Note 2 for free without me even asking them and now im stuck. I want to get rid of it, but its still blocked. Got TWO Note 2s for FREE in the same week. But neither work because of the block and bad storms knocking out towers in my area. FRUSTRATED!!!!

That just doesnt sound right to me. Tmobile isnt in the business of sending out free note2 with blocked imei number
...what are you really trying to do?

Didnt ask for the other note, they sent it to me because they tech support guy simply said, "its a paperweight" Now I have an extra note that blocked by tmobile

Are you asking us to help you scam someone else? The guy was right, its a paperweight.

haha yea guys. well after many conversations with tmob, i basically am stuck with an extra note 2. they wont unblock the imei for me. and to whoever said i am scamming someone, please dont make up any stories. They sent the second note 2 because they wanted to, not me. I just wanted my first note2 fixed. Story over.

Since they sent you another note, shouldn't you return the first note back?

If T-mobile did not tell me to send the phone back than I would NOT send it back.... It sounds to me like they already know he has the extra phone but don't care, so sell it to someone for parts or whatever they want to do with it..... If you want to keep it then you have no options with T-mobile but you can get it activated on Straight Talk or Simple Mobile cause they don't tend to care or even know if it's disabled by T-mobile... I am NOT promoting fraud but if you are being honest I am giving you an honest answer...
"When you ASSUME you make an ass out of u and me" so let's not assume he is being fraudulent when he just asked a question...

ive been with T mobile for six years they never just sent me a phone and i was allowed to keep the other considering how much this one cost.. They were real anole about me sending back my vibrant a few years back and my sg3 a few months ago... this phone cost about as much as those two combined.. Be careful bro.. you may get a repackaging fee...

Yea to those who feel I'm being dishonest, please read the whole story and don't judge. I never asked for the second phone. Tmobile told me to keep it, quote "its basically a paperweight" they said that not me. Been on the phone with them all week long. They just want me to keep it, trash it, whatever I wanted to do to it.

send first phone back, upon receipt of first phone, it will prove that you are legit. Sorry dude, but your story is really really hard to believe, you most likely will get a bill for that first one.

I actually think the person he sells the phone to will find out its blacklisted, regardless of what carrier its on. At that point the new owner will do one of two things; call the police, or show back up with friends and ensure they get their money back. You have one working note, and an extra one that should be sent back because thats the honest thing to do. Why do you think otherwise. Go troll some of the lesser sites, I dont believe xda is the proper place for you to try and learn how to reprogram an IMEI in order to circumvent t-mobile block on your phone, as its concidered stolen at this point.

If your story is true, I wouldn't send it back... t-mobiles mistake, not yours... if you want to throw it to a dev for dev use shoot me a pm (not for me, but a dev on gsIII that wants one to dev on)

What happened to stolen phones?! HELP

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

why not call tmobile and track it already? you already pay like an extra $2/month for it...and if its an even half-way decent method of tracking...it should be just as good if not better than most of the locator apps you can download since you are doing it through the carrier

Replacement phone T-Mobile? Refurbished?

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.
Not true T-Mobile uses sim cards you can do what ever except. For warranty. I know a bit about this subject but the problem with things like this is once people start talking in a public forum than can screw everybody.

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.

If T-Mobile will send the police knocking if you don't pay?
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!!

Wth is going to happen to my Friends credit for doing this dumb thing.

My friend started service 2 months ago to get the note 2 on T-Mobile. He has 360$ equipment loan fee still plus he his bill is $373 and he got three Note 2 replacements from t mobile and a iPhone 5 and didn't send them back and he isn't going to pay his bill what could happen?. I told him he's going to really mess up his credit. What could happened from what he's doing? He got a bunch of messages from t mobile saying he has to pay up to $850 if he doesn't send the phone back what's going to happen?

let this be a lesson to you what not to do.. i spent a whole year repairing my credit because i wanted to buy a house and there was no way around that. he thinks it's nothing now but he will see how stupid it is later. and don't forget that any decent job is checking your credit flle before hiring you.. fyi.. same with car insurance companies. having bad credit can be like having a criminal record follow you around.

anyone else getting the feeling that "shaqqq's friend" is actually himself... you seem extremely concerned about your "friends" credit and what can happen. personal i hope they send the cops to "your friend's" home and arrest him for fraud and grand theft. he basically has three note 2's & and iphone 5 he feels he doesn't have to pay for (shows character) so that right there is close to $2,800 plus a couple months over due on service. just enough for GT of the third degree.
but unfortunately that wont happen... "theres procedures, we love procedures" (sorry, Top Gear quote)... but most likely "your friend" will just accept the bad credit strikes, whatever comes with it & live with his moral standards.... im sure its not the first time you (i meant he) does this type of scam. might get away with it now but one day you wont get away with it and get caught and thrown in jail... and we'll still be paying for "your friends" 4x8 box
just sounds sad. "he" needs the money? get a job... obviously he couldnt afford the first note 2 when he signed up with tmobile in the first place.

Well I am asking about my friend. It's obvious it isn't me because I have Sprint plus if it was me I would of just said I did it I wouldn't be asking about my friend. I wouldn't hide it it's not like u kno me personally so I would say it was me if it was. Good job trying to be funny tho sarcastic.

I think people just find it weird you are posting about it again and it has nothing to do with the Note 2 really it belongs in a credit repair forum.

Will if it is you and you're really stealing and lying why would you tell us the truth. What you need to recognize is this community doesn't take to kindly to anyone stealing from the phone company. not that we like them so much, but we like electronics and know that eventually we are the ones who will pay for it with higher bills, phones and insurance costs. The companies aren't going to just absorb the loss

Long story short I'm just worrying about my friend. Nd I'm just trying to help him by showing him what could happen.

Okay what could happen is shot credit, and he gets beat up. I say that because tmo WILL blacklist the phone. Your friend will still sell it, probably as new based off my take on the kind of person he is. So he then screws someone who doesn't know better, or gets someone like me who takes every penny I lost back one way or another.
He will also never be able to come back to tmo and will have all the benefits of poor credit for a long time, you know no car, house, credit cards. He will then die a virgin because girls don't want low life scum. Or if he gets a girl it will be a trashy girl and your friend will get an std.

If your friend really needed the money, maybe a JOB would be more helpful but since he's willing to break the law, a career in drug deals might be more up his line.
Lol y'all so straight up with the stuff y'all say.

[Q] HOW TO Purchase 3rd party phone properly

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.
