[Q] how to prevent imei block through purchase?

I plan on buying a used s3 from someone off of craigslist. I will make the purchase at an at&t store and do an imei check firsthand. My question is how do i go about protecting myself from that person going home and making an insurance claim saying the phone is stolen, therefore blocking the imei? Thank you!

Have the rep note into your account that it was checked and confirmed at the store.

Is this fact or speculation? Not trying to be an ___ but curious as I buy a lot of phones on CL (terrible addiction).
Actually found my minty fresh GS3 there for $300!

I've bought a One X, 4S, and a Infuse from craigslist...each time I've made sure the seller met me at at&t. I even brought it up to the rep that I want it noted because of the blacklisting and each time they agreed to note it. Not a single problem with my devices in months.

Really!?!?!
Your past posts says different.
But even if you only did what you said, I wouldn't want a Note 2 that as been flashed with custom recovery. Just my thing.
I always try to check things out before buying something. But that is just my cautious self speaking.
BTW - Did you get your LG Nexus 4 yet? How do you like it? And how is the battery life?

I doubt he got it yet, I ordered an 8 gig for the wife Nov 27th, the second round of sales and got through at 5:01pm, mine says its going to ship Jan 2. The 16 gigs may be different, though.

LOL, this has been humorous how Google arranged to have low stock of N4 so that they can be sold by other retailers at the high cost while having just enough to maintain high buzz during shopping season.

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.

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.

T- Mobile shows only S3 LTE Variant

I was checking out the T-Mobiles' web site and saw that there is NO other versions of the S3 only the LTE variant that just came out.
Found this interesting not sure if other knew about this or ?
I had spoken to them as I just purchased my S3 in Jan and was told I could do a trade in and $150.00 out of pocket... No thanks ....

Correct. The T999L is replacing the T999 across the board. No reason to sell the old one anymore.

I noticed Samsung.com has also changed theirs. Still no show that is LTE but they show this SGH-T999MBATMB Again I dont know if that is the first firmware that was released with the phone or not

No, thats not the firmware, its just how they named the Pebble Blue one on their website. Ive no idea why they did it this way, but its simply how they differentiate the different colors.
T999MBATMB = Pebble Blue
T999RWATMB = Marble White

I'm trying my luck at it now, I doubt it though - I'm sure they have tons of s3's coming back in (trade ins) or refurbs stocked and ready to go. $20 for a replacement while still in warranty, eek.

For the Galaxy S3, I believe it is 130$ with the insurance deductible off the top of my head.

Definitely will be looking in to it,...but have to wonder, how much of a PITA will it be to get a replacement for warranty purposes.

For $300 bucks, I will get one to compliment my note 3. Hope to get invite and work on ATT LTE network.

You get to invite a friend to buy another for just a buck also if you get the invite. I will gladly smash my note 3 and get two of these for a buck each.
And if they let you choose the 64Gb version for $50, I would still take that deal.

I was gonna get a nexus 5 but think I wanna gave this a try O.O looks nice.

These phone seems to be incredible for specs and price.The only thing is the big size but maybe you'll get used to.

I.........know!My thought remain the same,was discussion on OPO,i think it will be an opponent of next google device instead of Note 3

Specs aside, you have me on the fact this is made to flash custom ROMs without the manufacturer or carrier bloat.
It's about time a company says, "here is a high end device. We are going to give you some awesome features, but if you want, do with as you will... And BTW, here is how you do it."
If the phone had the same specs as the gs4 and had this idea I would buy it. Just the idea behind it is what sold it for me. I will be getting one whether or not I get it for a $1

Non replaceable battery killed it for me.

I'd prefer a SD card slot, as I carry a lot of music, and don't like cloud.
Id buy one, just to try something new, not so sure about this invite option. I'd figure any company would want to have full availability as soon as possible.
