I have a busted up screen on my phone. My brother has a sprint note 2 that he has to send back to best buy because of a warranty issue.
It is a grey note 2 with a flawless screen. Is it possible to switch the two?

But your brother may be committing some sort of fraud by giving you his screen?

It's a warranty exchange anyway!! So they're going to refurbish the old phone anyhow. Most likely use it for parts. For the other refurb phones!!
Jmho.....

I know I sent a note 1 in for usb replacement and instead of sending me a refurbished the wanted to just fix my old phone and send it back due to screen damage... Just saying, you never know what I warranty department might claim.

Phone stolen today.
I've suspended the service and tried to use plan b with no success.
I have insurance with tmo.
Is there any way I can locate it+how much will it be to replace via insurance claim?
:crying:
If you have insurance it shouldn't cost more than $40 to get a replacement.

My favorite is Cerberus. Been using it since my D1 days....although its a little late now but I would recommend using it on your 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.

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.

You don't want a conspiracy to commit a felony charge?? But they're sooo fun!
Of course they know.... Insurance company are in this to make money. Don't you think they spent millions of dollars of research to minimize fraud?

To claim ur phone you need to send them receipt of your purchase with imei number or box so there is no way you can do it.

I work for T-Mobile,
Just lending my opinion, even though you might be able to select a different device online,
the claim still has to be reviewed before it is finalized. They will check the account with the current IMEI
in use, will identify it as a galaxy S3. Even if it slips through...
When you make a claim for damage, they send you a replacement for a $130 deductible, and expect
you to send your device back with the prepaid label they will include.
And they do state that they take frauding very seriously and prosecute to the maximum extent of the law.
All you have to do is write note 2 on it with a sharpie before you send it in.

Can you explain? I've got a phone that has a cracked screen but regardless of what I do I can't stop it from randomly rebooting. Would this possibly be covered as well?
