Please rephrase the question.
Someone correct me on this one but from what I understand, you can flash a locked Sprint phone to Boost or Metro.

Your ESN will be flagged until you pay it off. There are ways to get the device on Boost or MetroPCS but they cannot be discussed on XDA.

My bad guys let me rephrase my question.
My phone bill will be due in two days, I'm not going to pay for it which will give my phone a bad ESN, with a bad esn could i still switch it over to metro or boost

Flashing a phone to another carrier is NOT against forum regulations.
However, doing so for the purpose of defrauding a privider, IS.
And I think you are planning to defraud. .

In short, yes. The resources are there already to do so.

How am i planning to defraud, all I'm trying to do is see if i can switch my phone which will have a bad esn in two days to boost

I'm assuming you didn't pay full price for your phone, and are in 2 yr. contract.
That means it's Sprints phone, and I'm sure they want it back.
I could be wrong.

I payed 200$ for that's enough money for it to be mine
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

$200 is the carrier subsidized amount you pay. Sprint pays $300 for the phone upfront and make it back from you via you PAYING your bills. (they don't profit till the 2nd year of contract).
There is a reason OFF CONTRACT phones cost $500+.

pm if u wanna put it on boost its good service doesnt matter if ur phone have a bad isn

If you do get to keep the phone defintely put it on boost, virgin mobile, or page plus. I am currently on virgin mobile and only pay $25 bucks a month for 300 mins unlimited everything else. Can't beat $25 for service

Nobody will take the phone away. His credit will get ruined and it going hit the sprints P&L as bad debt like I'm sure it does thousands of times.

no, no it isnt

im assuming your account wont be cancelled right away.. it will first be suspended for non payment then after so much time will be cancelled for non payment at which you would have so much time to pay it before it goes to collections.. once the account is cancelled the esn is good.. sprint still makes there money which is why they have etf's.. if you dont pay it they sell it to the collectors who harass you until its paid..

Yeah...I don't know what makes him think that if he's exactly 1 day late, they will cancel the phone. Sorry dude, doesn't work that way. I don't think they suspend service till you are 30 days late. Even then the account isn't "cancelled". Eventually it will be. The etf will be tacked on to the bill you already owe. After an amount of time, it'll then go to collections, in which case, the amount owed will "grow". At the end of the day, collections, late fees, etf fees. It will be big bucks and screwed credit.

Price bought off contract

Did anyone buy the device without changing their contract and if so how much did you pay?
I know at&t quotes $650 but I'm sure there are ways to buy buy for less (aside from getting axxount credits)
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

$650. Only way to lower that is the early upgrade thing for $550, but it extends your contract.

Yes it's $649 unless you're able to get the store manager to cut you a deal like I've had done once or twice in the past. I'll be returning my IP5 tomorrow in exchange for the Note 2. I hope they aren't too mad at me. Battery life on the IP5 leaves a lot to be desired.

Outright price has always been cheaper from AT&T. Everywhere else I've seen is $699.99 or more.

What kind of deal u had with the manager to get it cheaper than $650?

When I purchased my last S3, the manager went in the system and marked it down to $399 since I'd purchased so many phones. Just have to be nice to people sometimes.

How did you guys manage to get one off contract? I showed up early this morning and was the first into one store and they would no sell me one without signing a new contract. I even called customer service who called the store to clarify and told me it was up to the manager to decide whether or not they would sell it to me without contract because they are in limited supply. I called another store thinking maybe it was just that one at&t store and I was told the exact same thing by the other store. It's driving me crazy because I was ready to fork over $650 + for this phone. Customer support wouldnt even let me order over the phone because they claim that the phone isn't even in their system yet. Very disappointing day so far...

Picked mine up from AT&T for $550 plus tax = $593
They extended my contract for 2 yrs from today.

I had an account already but I just told the guy I was paying the no commitment price and he didnt question it. Rang me up in about 3 or 4 minutes and I was done. I have no idea why they wouldnt sell it to you off contract. My best friend has simple mobile and he went in t mobile to buy his and they let him get his too with no problem.

I literally walked in and said I was buying for the off contract price and that was it, guy rang me up and gave me my phone. My brother works for bestbuy mobile and he said that sometimes stores will do that to maximize sales because thats how they will make there money, off the contract instead of the phone. So if you were off contract i can see why they would be pricks about it.

Man this sucks for me. I am still under contract but the guy didn't even ask. I have called about 10 stores and the story has been the same except for one guy who offered to sell me one for $750 cash only!! I laughed in his face before I hung up that phone. I have a business account and I finally got off the phone with someone who was willing to help me order it, but get this, they charge businesses $100 more for the no contract price...$650 vs $750. That is so close to Best Buy's price of $800 that I stop from ordering it. I will speak with my company's account rep next week but this is really shady business even from At&t. Without my grandfathered unlimited plan I would be walking out the door at this point.

Yeah, you got that right. South Florida = Scumbag Land. This is the shady dealings I have had with a major company in a while. There shouldnt be this big of an issue buying off contract. It clearly lets you do it on the website, although when I tried that it makes me set up a new line of service or I have to act like a new customer. I even thought about buying it as a new customer and then canceling the line, etc. but that it just way to much work for a cell phone. Why they can't just shut up and take my money....I'll never know!

Hey Note2 owners (and soon to be owners),
I tried all afternoon on launch day to pick up one at non-commitment price, but all the AT&T stores here in Los Angeles area wouldn't let me as they were in "limited stock" and reserved for new or upgrade accounts. I even called a friend who knew a manager but he said the same thing. The only way was to order it online as it ships from warehouse.
I do have an issue though and I was wondering if anyone else is in the same shoes as I am.
I placed an order online that same afternoon, but ever since and until now it still shows "Status: Attention" on my order status page. I did call AT&T Premier to make sure, and the rep told me that it's still being processed and take anywhere from 24-48 hrs to finish processing the order, considering that the weekend was non-business days.
Is anyone else who ordered online on launch day still show that status? I've been stuck on my old flip RAZR phone for a month now since my issue with my S3 being fraudulently reported stolen (a story I might like to tell someday).
Just wondering if it's just bad luck with me or something. I just want my Note 2 and carrying this RAZR is kinda embarrassing lol
Thanks guys for any input.

My online (pre-)order status went from "Pending" or "Processing" to "Shipped". I never saw an "Attention" status, and I believe others here who did said it indicated that there was a problem that was holding up the order. Probably good to check with them again.

Why not order it online? That seems to have worked smoothly for most people. I did that (for the full no-contract $650) and kept my grandfathered unlimited data plan (although initially AT&T changed it to a 3GB plan, and I had to call and have the unlimited plan restored).

Why don't you pay what you owe?

Hopefully they do.

You know abusing the network to get out of your contract is not ethical, right? You're also making the network slower for others, aswel.

Lamest thread ever.
Pay your ETF or pay your bill. Quit being a shyster (which has become a common word in my lexicon after reading some posts on xda lately).

Who lied? Have you gone back and disputed this? If it was done at the store Customer service can't do much as there's no proof to what you're claiming is true so the best option is to go back to store and vice versa. Airave does help if you qualify for one. Check www.sprint.com/airavecoverage. For your discount you have to apply through www.sprint.com/verify but nothing anyone can do in regards to the % the company you're claiming offers.

Discount for ups. Store said I would get it then they said no because I'm on the second line. And wouldn't let me return the phones. It was at best buy. Supposed to get 22% off. Called sprint and they said it on best buy side. Went to best buy and they saying nothing they can do. So stuck.
I had a regular landline at home. And had boost. Got rid of it because i got sprint.

New TMo Zero Down Promo

Not bad...Starts tomorrow for a limited time
http://www.dailytech.com/TMobiles+Z...Smartphones+Starting+July+27/article33052.htm

I love you t-mobile
YOU KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2NYT8uV_VQ

No zero down mean you don't need to pay for it now. So instead of making you have down payment right now they put that payment toward the monthly payment plan.
Say you want S4, instead of 150 down and 20x24 totaling 630, you pay 0 down and 25x24 total of 600. $30 saving. Not bad. .
But phone like HTC one, you'll be paying 0 down and 25x24 total 600 instead of 80 down (Web)and 20x24 total of 560 normally. Cost you $40 more.
Over all tmobile is being aggressive lately. .

That's annoying as hell.
I just talked to a Loyalty rep this afternoon to change plans and waive fees, who told me about this promotion. I asked him three separate times if the lack of down payment came back on the back end, by either increasing monthly payments or adding months, and every time he told me, No, it's $20 for 24 months.
I'm getting my Note II tomorrow, and I guess I'll see what happens with my next bill.

I switched from sprint a wk ago and went in this morning and was refunded $150 for one s4 and $150 bill credit for another. Also u have to b in the "A or B" credit bracket in order to qualify for the zero down. And for each line u open there is still a $50 charge for taxes. So 4 lines is $200 plus $10 per sim kit (new costomers).
I think thats about right.

Not at all except for the wait. They r very slow at my store. BUT... When they refund the money u will get the$50 tax per phone back as well. BUT.. u will have to pay that back up front. Ull receive the refund 48-72 business days later.

Yes you do pay extra on the back end for it being no money down, but a lot of people do not want to pay a dime upfront so for them, this is good.

Purchasing off contact. ..

Anyone know of any discounts or websites to search?! Trying not to give Verizon any $$$

I recently purchased a blue HTC One at Best Buy the other day. Had them on sale for $49.99 with new 2-year agreement. What I did was add a new line to get it at that price. Going to sell my S4 and then canceling the old line and paying the ETF with what I get for the S4. I'm midway through previous contract on old line, so the fee should only be about $230. Only thing that sucks, is that I have to tell everyone I know I have a new #. I could probably switch the numbers on the phones, but ETF would higher canceling the new line. Plus I don't think they would let me get away without paying some kind of fee if I canceled the new line because I got a brand new phone out of it. Anyhow, paying ~$300 for a new HTC One this way is a lot better than paying upwards of $600-$700 IMO.

Can't you change your new number to your old number after you end your old numbers contract?!

doubt it, by cancelling that line, you give up that number and it automatically is pulled from circulation for a period of time.

best network in the country isn't worth the most expensive plans? Seems like they are number 1 in customers for a reason.

If you want to buy a phone off contract go to swappa.com. Period.

I can sell you mine for $500 if you really want one bad. I still have my Galaxy s4 as a backup

I wasn't trying to be a smartass. I'm sorry you viewed it that way.
