Okay, so I'm about to trade my phone with another xda user. I was hoping for an upfront trade, but I live in hawaii, so that's kind of an impossibility. How should I go about doing this?

Sounds like your goin out on a limb if u send yours first. Get all his personal information and take a stab at it. Do you know him well?

I know right xD? I don't really know him, which is what worries me ._. I'm kinda just crossing my fingers that he keeps his word. But I don't wanna count on that.

Make him pay first with PayPal. He is then protected by there guarantee. And you have the money, so you don't have to worry when sending it.

write down your IMEI code if he/she does you wrong call it in and they will blacklist it and phone will be usless to use other than a mp3 player and a wifi browser

I'm thinking he wouldn't put his money on the line if he doesn't think id already sent it. And once I've sent the phone, he could easily screw me over by not following through xP

Id still be losing out though. Id rather not send it if I knew id be sending it to become a piece of trash/paperwieght. It just costs too much to get a new phone. I have a backup g1 but... I'm not taking that out of storage until I really have to xD

An old forum I visited had a sale mediator. You both send to 3rd party (usually it was forum owner) he'd check out both, make sure all is kosher then forward on to new owner.

Thanks for the offer man. Ill suggest bringing a third party into the equation and see if he's still willing.

I did post it in the mt4g thread. I'm here asking how I should proceed with the trade, because the man interested lives in texas. I tried craigslist but people are vicious there. One scratch on your phone and its instantly an unfair trade.

thinking of changing to republic, but i still want to keep my inc2. anyone have any ideas that knows more about this company?
I wouldn't recommended that. Republic seems too good to be true. You can keep your inc2 but you can not use it on their plan bc they have only one phone (LG optimus)

There's also an article on android police
Seems like a good idea for the service but when not using WiFi you are really hampered...I think somewhere they basically consul you on getting back on track using wireless if your 3g or whatever gets too high. I like the concept but would make sure you check all the details before taking the plunge.

I might be wrong, but it looks as if, to get service, you have to buy the phone.

Also since it is based off of Sprints network you will be really sacrificing signal for cost unless you are always in WiFi. Look into page plus if you are needing to cut cost. They run off Verizon towers and can use any Verizon phone if unlocked.

Signed up for the next round of invites, going to try one as a second line.
I would actually be interested in this, if I didn't already have an Inc2 and service through my parent's family plan. Maybe in a few years when they cut me loose, I will check it out, assuming it's still around. Would probably even be more refined.
Long story short, need help getting my note 2 unblocked. TMobile blocked it because they thought they lost it during shipping. Well I got the phone, used it for 4 days and then got blocked. Any help?

I'd recommend getting help from T-Mobile via their live chat service.
http://support.t-mobile.com/community/chat
More efficient than calling.
Been on the phone with tmobile for the whole week. They wont help out. They basically sent me another Note 2 for free without me even asking them and now im stuck. I want to get rid of it, but its still blocked. Got TWO Note 2s for FREE in the same week. But neither work because of the block and bad storms knocking out towers in my area. FRUSTRATED!!!!
That just doesnt sound right to me. Tmobile isnt in the business of sending out free note2 with blocked imei number
...what are you really trying to do?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Didnt ask for the other note, they sent it to me because they tech support guy simply said, "its a paperweight" Now I have an extra note that blocked by tmobile
Are you asking us to help you scam someone else? The guy was right, its a paperweight.

They sent the second note 2 because they wanted to, not me. I just wanted my first note2 fixed. Story over.
Since they sent you another note, shouldn't you return the first note back?

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...
"When you ASSUME you make an ass out of u and me" so let's not assume he is being fraudulent when he just asked a question...

ive been with T mobile for six years they never just sent me a phone and i was allowed to keep the other considering how much this one cost.. They were real anole about me sending back my vibrant a few years back and my sg3 a few months ago... this phone cost about as much as those two combined.. 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.

send first phone back, upon receipt of first phone, it will prove that you are legit. Sorry dude, but your story is really really hard to believe, you most likely will get a bill for that first one.

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)

There was a TED talk in the UK where a guy sued to get the data his carrier was holding onto. They had a literal map of his life, everywhere he went, his msgs and everything....and was logged so well he was able to create a visual map of his life based on that data.
Its illegal for the provider to keep our informations , right?

A lot of things are "illegal," but unfortunately a lot of companies don't care. We'll find out for sure when somebody sues someday and somebody else gets caught with their pants down.
they could inspire a reality show with my data. ok, at least a divorce attorney.
My wife lost her phone about a month ago and got a new one through insurence.while we wer moving we found her old note 2.i started using it and tmobile locked the phone.ive rooted it and romed it and cant seem to get it unlocked.i took a shoot at getting one of the unlock codes from a web site but it was a scam just like i thought it would be.what do i need to do to get it unlocked.ive also tried by inputing the *#---------- but from what ive seen everbody has a 4th option and i cant ever get it to come up.any thoughts on how to get this done
I think u have to downgrade to another version...but thats all I know...

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.
