Just go start a claim and before it processes it'll show you what they'll send out and just cancel it at that point

I have recieved a new Epic 4g touch

they don't care if its rooted. This is not a manufacturers warranty, its a 3rd party private insurance. They insure hardware, not software

It said no firmware because there is no OTA firmware update at the time. Nothing to worry about. Let's see what's on your phone. Can you screenshot a pic of your build number, like this.

Thanks for the response.here are my screen shots I still can't connect to the network. The Sim worked in my other phone right away this one won't connect tho.

Hmm out of service, I'll double check if your IMEI has not been blacklisted. Hopefully guy didn't sell you a stolen or lost phone. If you are willing to flash a custom ROM, could help to.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I haven't rooted yet if I do and flash a custom ROM would that work. The phone has been working for the past 4 days with no problems till today.

I have insurance with tmo.
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

That's precisely what I did and now..I'm getting a WHITE SII :victory::victory::victory:
They sent me a Blaze because apparently they didn't have any black s2 left...pretty dumb of them.

I think no apps can match 'find my iPhone' if in this situation ad i also have all version of iPhone.. once i try to locate n yes i found it back....
Samsung should have one of those..
Anyway, they shouldn't replaced to you the blaze i think... :banghead:

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

Great except the phone was delivered insured. USPS pays out. I'm sure they audit losses.

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.

Tmobile prepaid

Im thinking about selling my s3 from sprint. I was looking to get a s3 from Tmobile from Craigslist. If i active it will it with a sim card i get from walmart will it work if the previous owner has a previous balance? Because I won't know until I get the phone then get the card because people lie on the Internet sometimes to get stuff sold.

Tmo will most likely block it after a while if the remaining balance isn't paid off for the phone.

It won't work lol what you can do is call T-Mobile and give them the iemi and they'll tell you if its good or not.

Best advice I've heard is to go to the T-Mobile store with the person and have the rep there confirm the details (such as if they owe money). And have them add the phone to your account and/or make a note about it.
