That's called insurance fraud what your doing. Technically its a felony.

I think the guy just asked a question about what would happen. But yes, this is insurance fraud and if you get caught doing this you're slapped with a felony. I'd advise you not to do it.
They would more than likely block the old IMEI anyways since they have it in their database and the old phone becomes a paperweight MP3 player.
TL;DR : The risks are too high and the outcome is too little and more than likely to backfire. Be legit about it.

Straight Answer
Once a device is replaced using insurance or warranty, they will blacklist the IMEI so that it can't be used again on the network in the event that they don't actually receive it.
If a device is reported lost, they blacklist the IMEI immediately and you go about processing your claim.
There is nothing you can do to prevent this, it's automatic, that phone will be blacklisted, no exceptions. If it's found, to whitelist the IMEI again, you have to go through insurance, which will promptly send out a return kit for said device.
You can't ask questions like this on here. This isn't the place for stealing, scamming or anything not legal. This thread will be closed by an administrator

So a couple weeks ago you were on here asking to buy a T989 to replace your Amaze because you wanted a bigger screen, It appears that you decided to buy it new thinking you can just scam the insurance thing and not actually have to pay for it, or get a second one for free. Not saying you are doing this, just that it appears pretty darn shady when seeing this post along with your previous post a couple weeks ago asking to buy one.
As said above, insurance fraud is a felony but honestly go ahead and report it stolen, wait a few days and call TMO and tell them you bought a used phone. Give them all the info on it they ask for, go ahead, or try to sell it. The buyer will find out it was an insurance scam and TMO knows it's connected to you. Who knows you might(not a chance) have a lucky one that didn't get blacklisted. In reality, I will ROFL when the police show up at your door with an arrest warrant, and they will...but go for it, see what happens. It may be multiple serious federal charges. If you bought it online and it was mailed to you via USPS, they will add the charges of Felony Mail Fraud for USPS shipping, and Felony Wire Fraud for ordering it online. If you bought it in the store then you can expect Retail Fraud to be added.
Let us know how that works out for ya.

There is one of three reasons you're blacklisted.
The phone was reported lost/stolen to Asurion and a claim was made.
The phone is a T-Mobile demo device that was stolen.
It was purchased on a Value plan and the customer defaulted on the bill.
You can try tinkering with the efs but no idea what trouble that will get you in or if that works on the GS2. If you can find the craigslist ad or money order receipt they may reverse it but it might have to go to risk assessment and take awhile.

I was wondering if they considered a difference between lost and stolen. But again, i was told they blacklist for reasons that directly affect them - fraud, theft from a store, or not making payments.

I thought asurion required that you file a police report if you told them someone stole it before they filed your claim? If you say its lost and found it later they may not blacklist it assuming that most people will . I have heard that at times asurion will allow you to keep your found phone if you claim lost then found it later. Not 100% sure on that.

yeah I don't think tmobile or asurion will blacklist a phone if it was lost because if found, it can still be used. However, if someone purposely stole a phone from a store/person, then it would be blacklisted. Not 100% sure but sounds about right.

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!

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:

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.

On Nov 6th I met up with someone at Starbucks from Craigslist to purchase the Galaxy Note 2 for $450 with box charger and instructions. I checked the esn number and it was clean. I inserted my sim card and was able to use the phone. On Friday Dec 28th, my phone all of sudden couldn't go on the web using 4g and I couldn't make and receive incoming calls. I called T-Mobile using a landline and they said my imei has been blocked. I went to the T-Mobile store and paid $50+ tax to use a loaner phone because I can't be without a phone. Today T-Mobile told me that this phone can't be activated due to equipment installment program. What should I do? Should I sell this phone on eBay and specify that this imei is blacklisted? Maybe someone from around the world could use this phone unlocked. Right now the phone is LOCKED. Should unlocking be my expense or should it be the buyers expense to unlock this phone? Should I use the money I get from selling this device to buy a brand new galaxy note 2?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Track down the creep who sold it to you and get your money back. Call him and let him know you have contacted the police and they are reviewing the tape from Starbucks and you fully expect to get your money back. Have him meet you at the police station for the refund.
Hey, may not work but worth a try. I'd rattle the hell out of him and would not leave him alone. He knew what he was up to and essentially stole your money. That's not ok.
Outside of saber rattling, it's now your problem. If you like the device enough, just pay whatever T-Mo needs to get it turned back on. You got a good price so whatever they need should still be cheaper than buying a new one.
Edit: well, who knows what T-Mobile needs paid. It may be worth it to just sell as blacklisted and call it a day.
The person who sold me the phone is the only one could make payments toward the phone. Its a lady that sold me the phone.

This is the second time I am hearing of this. I blame tmobile. If you call them to ask if the phone is clean to purchase and they tell you yes then it's their fault for not making sure it doesn't have any outstanding balance. To the Op you have yet to explain why you haven't contacted the seller. The other poster didn't try to contact the seller either. So either you are both idiots or maybe you are trying to figure out how to unlock a stolen phone. And please don't say you can't find the owner because tmobile had there information and with a push from the police they have to give it up.

So instead of dealing with the person that sold you the phone you are going to unlock it? Once again I am calling BS on this and now you have people helping you unlock a phone that is not legally yours.
....... But unlocking won't unblock the IMEI o.0 Unless you're planning to use it on another carrier than Tmo, unlocking won't allow you to use the phone.

I have to agree with this. Tmo wouldn't just tell you the phone was clear & then turn around & say "Oops, we meant to say it's blocked!" If they actually made a mistake when the OP first called in, he needs to escalate until they either unblock him or credit him for a comparable new phone. This whole story just smells funny. I know that if I had just dropped hundreds of dollars on a phone that I couldn't even use thanks to the seller's negligence/fraudulence, I'd be sitting in the police station filing a report within minutes of finding out it was blocked. I can't even imagine just saying "oh well, guess I got scammed!" about something like this. The OP is either incredibly rich & $450 is just pocket change, or else something is fishy here.

I agree with those who say you should hold the lady responsible. Contact her and see if she will make it good. If not, small claims courts is the way to go. I've done two small claims cases. Its easy and not expensive. Sounds like you have a solid case. Of course once you get a judgement you may have a problem collecting if she's a deadbeat. But if she's got an income you can force her to pay up. My 2 cents. Good luck.

I'm currently having some problems with my charger staying plugged to my phone. It's very loose for some reason and constantly unplugs overnight even with the slightest touch.
My screen has been cracked for quite some time now (prior to this issue) but I was wondering if this would restrict me from filing an insurance claim on my phone. Would they hassle me for a broken screen?
Thanks,
basically got 2 options at this point, pay the fee , send your phone back, wait for replacement,
or claim it lost, pay the deductible, keep your phone an let them send another one to you, up to you, not promoting this way,but you do have these two options
for option #1, what exactly is the fee?
I'm considering the option of saying that the phone is just suddenly slightly defective (the charger port) in order to get a new refurb one. I've done this multiple times before and got a replacement for free but never with a broken screen.

Filing a claim and getting a refurb will cost you $130. I wouldn't recommend the 2nd option mentioned above, but I'm not going to tell you what or what not to do.

You can't claim warranty exchange with Tmobile with a broken screen. They will charge you restocking fee $400+. Its better to call insurance which is $150 I believe.

But that doesn't cost the company money and cause rates to go up
Returning to stock, the companies are getting the phones back to refurbish and sell again. Lying and saying you lost your $500 phone to get another $500 phone is no where near the same thing.
Not to mention the fact that rooting only voids the manufacturer warranty, not your insurance.

Huh how It doesn't cost the company money, shipping cost that they pay.. Hard bricking devices or soft bricks that some don't even bother to fix and send it in.technically a phone is not a phone when you can't call or do what a phone is for when the IMEI is blocked. Also rooting may bring hardware issues etcc so if the phone is malfunctioning people are going to send it in. that's also insurance fraud because you caused the phone to not work and you want to get a new one or refurbished. I get your point though but I still think rates will go up either way, just like gas does when the economy us bad .

With insurance it doesn't matter if you hacked it and fried the processor. That's what you pay for insurance for. Using it to get a second phone is not what it's for. I see where your point could be valid for a warranty exchange though.

Moderator Edit How to commit fraud is not what we do here
this is fraud.
the insurance plan is tired to serial numbers and/or the imei.
you tired to game the system, and you got owned.

Won't work, tied to phone ser, if the phone is still under warranty and defective and they send a replacement then you can add insurance..

Lol, it won't work, as stated before, the insurance for each phone is IMEI specific, when they see IMEI is different, they will say "wrong phone sorry"
Also, to OP, thread is reported, stuff like this isn't what XDA is about.
Thread closed, fraud is not our business...move along...
