I brought a AT&T Note 2 from a friend and I'm going to unlock for use on T-Mobile because that's what I currently use now my friend brought that note 2 from someone else and that person said it was lost. If I unlock it for T-Mobile will I be able to use it with no problems ?

Only if the device has not been black listed. ..
If it has been listed. ..you have a problem. ..as you may run into trouble if the IMEI is shared between TMO and ATT....g
It was reported lost so I can't use it ? So u telling me if it was reported lost to AT&T they blacklist it ? I thought it can't be used on AT&T again but can be used on any other gsm carrier like T-Mobile

They blacklist the imei. So if someone steals the phone the owner can report it and that phone is now just a media player lol.

Carriers are starting to share blacklists. Hence the imei of the phone will be nullified and cannot be accessed anywhere here in the states.

Well like I said I was making sure that's why I asked and there was no way I can go to AT&T to ask because they was closed. Btw the phone was brought in to the store prior before my friend brought it cause he was with the guy and AT&T checked they only said it was reported lost they didn't said it was reported stolen.

At&t do not blacklist a lost phone. It has to be reported stolen.
On that note, AT&T will reactivate a blacklisted phone as long as the original account holder/purchaser calls it in.
I don't know the facts of your story but the above statements are from true.

If you call retentions, more than likely they'll take care of you. If you're out of contract retentions entire job is to keep you from leaving. The way they could handle this situation is more or less set it up in the system as if you were going to cancel, but locked into another contract... more or less, as if you had cancelled, then signed up as a new customer. In fact, that might be how they'd do it.
Give them a call and try.

Rethink that. Sprints version of the galaxy nexus is not supported by Google. The sprint version is code named the toroplus, look it up. Good development community though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure that device is any better than what we have now, in fact it might be worse.
I know ICS runs better on it. Smoother In my opinion. My wife has one. I talked to Samsung this morning and according to them Sprint is hustling Epic owners about a bug fix update. The Samsung Supervisor even said it was never recommended that Sprint push the update. She said no update is in the works for this model. The funny thing about it is Samsung says there call lines are flooded with Epic owners having issues and Sprint tells me there are not any problems and I need to take out insurance. That will be a cold day in Hell!

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...

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.

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)
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.

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!!

Here is the member list. Also these blacklists will soon apply to resellers. I had a rep from at&t and t-mobile confirm that.

Soon blacklisted phones will be paperweights.

This confirms exactly what I was saying. I know is coming, but it's not here yet. So for the time being the op can use the phone on prepay. For how long who knows.
To the guy above me. Please delete your comment. You can't discuss our recommend illegal activity on xda. That kind of thing can get xda in trouble and get this thread locked quickly.

I called simplemobile and they said that soon they'll be checking phones against the black list. They'll do it on activation of service. They'll be doing it within 6 months. So enjoy it while it lasts.

Sure....I called too and they said as compensation if your phone ends up blocked they'll give you a new note 4 in place of it.
By the way my point still stands, for this minute he can use it on prepaid. Oh and based on what you just said
"They'll do it on activation of service."
If is activated now he'll be good when they make the switch. I'm not sure where you're trying to go with the besides start a fight you're losing and looking stupid doing at the same time.
And for the record I have at mobile account with an active note I was just trying to help the OP my start a fight not sure why you even jumped in

Don't know. But it won't be an option for long. That is why I chimed in. We all knew it wouldn't last. For now yes it'll work. But after they enforce the black list who knows.

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?

They will charge him the retail of each phone and through tmobile the charges are not reversible, with the obvious abuse they will report It as a theft and charge for each phone since tbe cost is going to be so high your friend may want to look into what amount is felony and whats not

first things first. your freind is young and stupid. not only will he have a strike against his credit but they will
block ime numbers of phones and they will be useless to anybody. people do things like this because they don't think long term.
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.
remember, how can two walk together except they agree..
find new freinds..
Yea he did it because he really needed the money smh. What's going to happen to him

and imei-s of not returned phones will be blacklisted and pretty much useless on majority gsm networks.

lol u again huh? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217635
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.

Thought this sounded familiar.
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

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.
