I had purchased a used TMobileGalaxy S3 T999 that was unlocked (dont know what form was used to unlock it)

I had been using a net10 ATT compatible sim for a few months now on it, but today I decided to go ahead and activate at tmobile for their 4g speeds and better signal in my area... To my disappointment my phone shows no service with this sim card... The service rep tried the sim with 2 of their other galaxy devices and It worked fine... but not mine...and its a tmobile branded galaxy s3 t999.

So I took it home... figured maybe if I flash an updated modem/radio it will work... but no, flashed UVDMD5 modem/radio with no luck...

my old sim still works... my gfs sim works... and their from completely different carriers... so my phone is clearly unlocked for other carriers, but just not tmobile... its original carrier :'(

And I already activated for the 1 month $60 unlimited plan with 2.5gb 4G so its seems I'm out of money.. and left with no carrier and no phone to use currently... :'(

You guys have any idea how I can fix this?

Currently I'm on cyanogenmod 10.1 jb 4.2.2 (Im also going to try flashing stock fw to see if anything happens)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sriharsha_ss:
Looks like TMobile blocked the IMEI because someone reported the phone to be lost and claimed insurance benefits.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yoyochuckd:
Who did u buy it from? Not necessarily tmo blocked Imei. Rep could of looked that up. Someone could of however changed the Imei. Damaging the security partition and they're not matching on tmobiles network.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Its more likely to be blacklisted if you ask me. I'd call Tmobile and ask. By the end of tge year, all us carriers are supposed to begin sharing blacklists. So if it is, it'll be rendered useless anywhere in the us in the near future.

I'm told att and T-Mobile already are sharing these lists. If that's so, and yours is blacklisted, then it'll probably get blocked by att soon too.

Oh, and anytime you're having problens like this, odin stock firmware. Get rid of the rom as a variable.

Call and find out for sure. ...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxdannyxx02:
Yea flashed stock and got bars but couldnt register to network...called they confirmed my phone was reported lost -_-

So now my imei is blacklisted... and talking about changing it is a big nono everywhere from what ive seen :(

I bet its simple to change but I prefer having a specific set of instructions when messing with that stuff :S
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Think about it please, if everywhere you look, everyone tells you not to do it, there is probably a very good reason.

It is illegal. And personally, I would not be comfortable putting someone in that position.

Unlock and sell it overseas is pretty much your only option. Sorry man...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shadricksimms:
If a tmobile phone was reported lost it cant be used as tmobile anymore even as prepaid?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxdannyxx02:
Nope cant be used even if prepaid :S
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shadricksimms:
Can a blacklist phone be used at all?

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

A friend of mine has a phone he reported lost so he could keep it and now wont work on tmobile. Is there a way to use it on tmobile again?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] koolboyztn:
No, it wont on Tmobile or ATT, outside U.S. it will.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
As I understand it, by the end of the year all US carriers will be pretty much using the same blacklist, so it won't just be AT&T and T-Mobile.

And it's people like that "friend" that measures like this are necessary. Is he gonna turn scammer next and try to sell it on craigslist?....basically stealing a whole bunch of money from someone who can't afford to buy a new phone?

The only somewhat honest option is to unlock it and sell it overseas via eBay.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
No! It is illegal! I understand that your friend was willing to commit fraud/theft by deception (or whatever you want to call it), so this being illegal probably doesn't matter either. But on pretty much every forum on the internet, including XDA, even just discussing this is against policy.

Please! Consider this! You are asking in a public forum for someone you don't even know to assist you in breaking the law! I truly hope you understand what I am telling you and take it to heart. Personally, I think it is just plain wrong to put someone in that kind of position by even just asking. Id recommend you drop the whole thing tbh.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naddict:
I have an idea, go away from XDA for stuff like this, we do not do fraud here, nor do we try to assist in fraudulent actions.

As you all know Verizon Edge is only for customers who have an upgrade available or new customers. Today while trying to upgrade one of my devices online ( note I don't have an upgrade available until next year), it let me buy the HTC One with the edge upgrade plan. I'm not sure if this is a glitch or if it's supposed to be that way. But I thought I would inform you guys.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
Are you on unlimited data?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
I was doing the same thing as well as the OP...I was just experimenting trying to help my dad get the One. It let us get all the way thru till the end until we hit activate, (( we stopped because he wants to think about it first )) but I truly believe this works....

to answer ^ question, my dad is on Unlimited Data and it did NOT remove it or offer him Verizon Maxx.....so Idk what to think...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] x3demond3x:
Nope. I am not.

I already got a tracking number and everything so it looks like it does!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
I can say that while I was at the store, the rep told me I would not lost my unlimited, grandfathered plan if I chose to use their Edge program. (Contrary to what everyone keeps saying...)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
That's what I don't understand...I called corporate and they said that you HAVE to have an Upgrade available....

Oh well I guess as long as it works lmao
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] x3demond3x:
That's exactly what they told me too but apparently not when you do it online.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] migpol08:
It did the same with me and I don't have an upgrade until next year. But I read somewhere in the pages of the process that it was with no contract. So I was wondering if they cancel your current contract and charge you the ETF (or not?) . You never now.

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

So it allowed you to keep your current contract right, and get the one without any problems or hidden fees?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
I wish there was a way that Edge could charge a credit card instead of the account for the monthly payments.

While I am an account manager and can do almost whatever I want, I am not the owner and do not "directly" pay the bills.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jakkzen:
I'm on unlimited data still and I am not available for upgrade. I selected upgrade at full retail, then selected the $25 pay option. I tried this out and I was able get any phone under the EDGE pay plan. I chose to purchase with a plan and it allowed me to keep my unlimited data and current plan. It will add the $25 to your account every month and you will also have to pay the 1st payment and upgrade fee at check out. It was $58.22 for me due today. At the last second I decided to not finish the purchase.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
You could just go with monthly deductions from the card.

Edit: ahh I see never mind
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] :
I'm not eligible for an upgrade, was able to pay full retail for my phone over 24 payments (NOT EDGE) and keep unlimited data, as well as not re-up the contract for another two years (my original upgrade date stayed the same [sometime in 2014]). This is a pretty big hole, I'd imagine they'll be correcting this soon and making into something of an "early EDGE" upgrade as opposed to what it is now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Character Zero:
Are you sure you didn't get the Device Payment Plan. That is seperate from Edge and allows you to pay off a retail device over 12 months for $2 charge a month and lets you keep unlimited. Its been around for a few months.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] :
I'm not sure what it was called but sounds about right, I know it wasn't Edge.

Still a pretty big hole though. Had they thought of it/seen this hole they could of called what they had given me a "courtesy" Edge upgrade - I still would have paid full price, then I would have lost unlimited data and been tied down for another two years.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Character Zero:
Not really a hole. Its a plan they advertised that allowed you to keep unlimited. Its just a higher payment than the Edge plan. I assumed the Edge plan was going to replace this Payment Plan but for the time being they are keeping them separate.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] x3demond3x:
Yup! Phone gets here tomorrow and all they charged was the first months payment and the tax for the phone came out to $75
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
I hope all you guys who think this is a glitch know you may end up being a charged an etf. If not though please report back. I'd really like to know
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] x3demond3x:
That makes no sense. I'm not cancelling my line of service, so what exactly am I terminating? When it says you start a new contract, that's intended for new customers or customers with an upgrade. Because that's whom edge is intended for.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Yes it does. If you don't have an upgrade available you could be seen as breaching your service contract. I've seen similar things happen in my line of work. Its possible for sure don't think it isn't. These people aren't new customers they're existing ones who are changing their contracts over to edge without have a legal exit to their current contract.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
It wouldn't hold up. The contract wasn't cancelled. These people who are doing it still have a line of service. You can't get charged an ETF without actually terminating a line.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Technically you aren't supposed to be eligible for edge until you are eligible for an upgrade. But since it looks like a mistake on Verizon's part, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Sent from my HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
You signed a new contract while under contract. Although edge isnt a contract per se it actually is... You did terminate when you signed up. Odds are they'll let it slide but legally they don't have to trust me on this. I doubt you've dealt with these tricky contracts like I have. I don't mean to come across as argumentative a d I never mean to disrespect you. Just have worked a lot with these kinds of things.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BaBnkr:
I'm a lawyer. (This isn't legal advice).

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this ETF thing. I'd also like to know where you've seen these shady contracts you speak of so I can start looking for unhappy customers who want to sue. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Can't sue. Just because a contract is shady doesn't mean you can sue. Being a lawyer and understanding businesses contracts doesn't mean you would know about this. The language of a contract can secure an unethical but not illegal business practice and lawyers can't do anything about it. Its just like if you signed for a student loan. In most places in Europe you're only allowed to go through one bank. Back before issues they had they simply asked you if you had another loan. If you lied you could technicwlly get two loans even though you shoisknt be able to. You could say the bank should check better... The truth... You're going to have to pay back or go to jail. Its unethical but not illegal. In this example you signed a contract for service. You rear that you need a new line of service or an upgrade. You decide it doesn't matter. Then you void your contract and start a new one (edge is still kind of a contract). You now may owe an etf as you broke your terms. Sure they should have told you but in the end you made the decision. An informed decision. See where I'm going. I'm not saying its going to happen. Just that it could
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
Edge is a payment plan, not a service contract. That's what you're missing here.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
In legal terms it is still a contract until you pay off your device. You don't own it till you pay it off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] papirath:
Verizon is confused

Just to clarify. I want to put this out there for all that is confused with the edge program. Speaking from my experience the past couple days. I called Verizon about the edge program, The Costumer care rep said i qualified for the edge program. I am currently on the unlimited package and i clarified i didn't want to lose it no matter what. I hung up the phone, talked to my wife and called back. The next representative told me it wasnt available for the unlimited costumers. It would make u change you plan. She even asked her supervisor. So she offered me a 12 month upgrade plan the is almost the same thing just for costumers that didnt want to change their existing plans. So i jumped on it. But the exemption is i had to do it in store. S yesterday i went to the store. I was ingall excited...then it happened...

I chose a phone for my wife..HTC ONE. Hers went thru no problem. Kept unlimited. I chose the the Droid Ultra..Tried to put mine in..wait for it...Tried to make me choose a different plan..kicked me off unlimited.

So we called costumer Care.So to summarize. U cannot at any time upgrade on any of there plans like edge or 12 month finance without changing you plan. It will let u put a phone thru at times but when u get your bill it will pick a plan for you. I talked to 4 different Verizon supervisors and they all told me the same thing. Since it is a new plan offering the kinks aren't worked out yet. I left without a new phone. My blood pressure thru the roof and my head spinning. So FYI if you seem to have beat the system or thought u will keep unlimited. Your feelings will be hurt when u get your bill. And will lose unlimited. They cant override the system anymore cause its not an option.

thought i would share my experience.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] slacka-vt:
FWIW, if you are within 6 months of an upgrade, you can participate in the Edge Program.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Where do you see that?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] slacka-vt:
My mother called because she was interested in upgrading her SG3 but she isn't eligible for 12 months. The rep said that once she's within 6 months of her upgrade she can participate in the Edge Program. This is probably how the OP was able to do it. It doesn't seem like they mention this anywhere on their website.

Also, when you first join the program there is no down payment for the device, but all subsequent monthly bills will incur a monthly charge of around $25, depending on the device. The HTC is a $25 monthly charge. So the OP's monthly bill will be for $85. He said he paid $75 flat out, which means he paid $60 towards the plan and $15 activation fee. So his monthly bill moving forward will be $60 + $25 = $85.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] x3demond3x:
Nope I don't have an upgrade available until November of next year. When I called customer service they told me I couldn't participate in the edge program because I didn't have one available. I went online and tried to do it myself and boom, I should be getting my HTC one today.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rdcamero:
May want to try another store or rep.You can still do the 12 month installment plan in the store.It is just a finance plan and does effect your contract.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Something keeping me from using Edge is this single little tidbit:

From here, http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/Equipment/vz-edge.html, under Contract and Payment plan. I'd rather go to Best Buy with my BB card and take advantage of their 18-months of no interest promotion.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Are you sure they didn't add a line to your plan?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Character Zero:
The only issue with that is the BB price is so inflated over the Verizon price (for full retail). And to get the to price match is hit or miss. I had a BB Mobile say it was no problem to price match, but a BB actual store wouldn't do it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tarpit_Carnivore:
The ability to make accelerated payments is worth the haggle IMO.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nopatience818:
What's the benefit of accelerated payments for Edge?

With Edge you're automatically put in a position to pay for same phone twice because you're adding an additional charge to cover the phone when the phone subsidy is already baked into your monthly bill. There are only 2 reasons to accelerate payments. 1 is to pay 50% the phone's cost to Edge up at the 6 month mark, where you're basically selling the phone back to Verizon at 25% of the cost so you can get a new one. 2 is to pay off the phone in full so you can cancel the contract.

If you get to the 12 month mark without edging up, you're now losing money because your phone is technically paid off at this point. If you edge up at 12 months you still have to give back the phone so you've just paid full price for a loaner - you got screwed. From 12-24 months, you're now paying for the same phone twice and getting screwed even more. If you edge up at 12-24 months, you've now paid up to double the MSRP for a loaner. Only thing accelerated payments does is gets you to that undesirable 12 month mark faster.

Edge only benefits those who are willing to pay a premium to stay off contract, or those who want to trade in their phone every 6 months and eat 75% of its value. The exception is the glitch mentioned in the first post, where existing customers who don't qualify for Edge are able to convert to the plan online. In this case, the monthly bill covers their current phone and the edge financing covers the second phone. They're only paying for that new phone once, but can still trade up at the 6 month mark if they're willing to eat 50% of its value.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
You'd think with all that eating we'd all just get fat lol :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] IceDragon59:
The best thing you can do if you want to stay off-contract and don't want to pony up all the cash upfront is the Device Payment Program. No contract, 12 monthly payments and you own the device. You pay the first payment upfront, but $50 for this phone isn't bad. Well, plus the $30 upgrade fee. And $2 installment fee. And taxes. Call it $100 and $52 for 11 months after that. $672 to stay off-contract and own the device. Better than being stuck for 2 years. And significantly better than their new Edge program.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Wow I didn't even know about that. Thanks for the info.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I like edge because it's simple. I don't have to go through the hassle of selling my phone, then shipping it if they're not local, and then hoping they're honest and don't say "I never got it" or do a chargeback. Nope. I like edge because I can get a new phone every 6 months *if I want to* by just walking into a store, turning my phone in and walking out with a new phone. I am perfectly fine paying a premium for the simplicity Edge gives me.

Yeah so I am wondering what happens when I want to go back on contract. So I would probably go with the Max plan 6GB for $30. But then what happens in like 4 months and I my wife has an upgrade and we decide to go to the share everything plan?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Leonric:
Edge

I to used the website to order a HTC One. They shipped it and I got it 48 hours ago under the "Edge" terms.

Here's where the headache begins, they won't activate the phone. So I have the device but I've been battling with Verizon now for 2 days on getting it activated. I'm within the six months till upgrade.

So good luck to everyone trying to use this "glitch". I've had six different reps tell me different results. No one at Verizon seems to have an answer and they told me they have hundreds upon hundreds of devices sent out under this glitch.

One rep said they'll get it activated since it's their "mistake", another rep told me basically that I'm the scum of the earth for taking advantage of their glitch. I'll let you guys know the results.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Character Zero:
What happens when you do an IMEI check? Does it show it as able to be activated.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Leonric:
"We're sorry, but at this moment we can't find required number."
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Character Zero:
So what is due at the time of sign up. First month payment, upgrade fee, and anything else. Do they change sales tax?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Leonric:
I paid the first month payment and the tax.

I did this on launch day before their splash page even had any info on it. I clicked on upgrade my device cause I wanted to see if it would let me use the Edge program and it did. So I ordered it thinking it's all legit and will be no problem.

Now they are saying you have to be upgrade eligible.

It was laughable one rep told me what I did was like robbing an ATM.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
You can't just put your SIM in the phone? I'm confused by the "they won't activate it" part.

When you put in the SIM from your other phone, what happens?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nopatience818:
Is your account now an Edge account that you can cancel when the phone's paid off or are you still bound to your old 2 year contract? Or is it now something in between?

Also, I read on Reddit a guy just swapped Sims and the new phone worked. Problem is if you're going from a regular sim to a nanosim.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] x3demond3x:
I actually was having this problem so I called. They told me there is actually a master ticket right now for anyone who has tried activating an EDGE device it's not just focused on us lol
