I think you said:
1. I am on a family plan with my dad on Alltel.
2. Even though my dad pays for my cell phone service, I call him rude names.
3. I have moved to a location that Alltel does not serve.
4. I would like to activate my phone with Sprint service, which presumably is available in my new location.
Does Alltel allow you to use roaming service in your new location? Did your dad deactivate your phone? Maybe you could try respectfully asking him about that...
If you activate service with a different carrier, you will not be on your dad's family plan anymore. That probably means you will have to pay for your own cell phone service, but does not give you permission to call him more rude names. You can try activating the phone with Sprint, but usually they will only accept phones that were originally sold for Sprint service and the ESN (unique phone serial number) is on their list.
i still pay the bill cause its under my name first of all!!!
and yes hes an asshole,cause he tried to beat up my three month old kid!!
how can i get that password?
1. if its in YOUR name and YOU pay the bill why cant YOU call sprint and activate it ?
2. Pops sounds like a loon if he did try to fight an infant.
Here are the Facts:
You cannot hack service into your phone if it has been deactivated...
You cannot retrieve the password unless your dad speaks it to you or you locate it elsewhere...
You cannot activate your account via Alltel, Sprint, etc without your dad's relevant information...
You cannot utilize a device in a area that is not supported by your device's carrier services...
You can likely switch your service on your device to another, however... it will not be easy...
You can likely get a phone activated into your own name and free yourself from parental obligation...
And you most likely need to keep your kids away from your dad if he is abusive...
thanx again for all your help,it just sucks having a cool phone with a whole lot of apps and no service :/

If the account is under your name and you pay the bill, call Alltel and get them to reset the password.
OR, if the account is under your name and you pay the bill, close the account and open a new one without your dad on it.
Really????
Are you kidding, this has nothing to do with the Titan and everything to do with needing Dr. Phil. I believe you are in the wrong forum my friend.

yup, things we don't need to know for $200 Alex.
1) We don't want to hear about your family problems, this is an XDA forum.
2) We don't want to see posts denegrating other people, again, the XDA forum thing.
3) We'd love to answer your questions, if you are up front with all of the details in your OP.
As far as I can tell, you still aren't giving us the details. I'd say, but the looks of your posts, you are trying to scam your Father. Otherwise, you'd be able to change the password on "your" account because it is in "your" name, and "you" pay for it.
Something isn't quite right with your story.

well i lent my friend my mda while i was in class and i guess he was trying to get onto the internet, he accidentally deleted the data connection. when he meant to tap connect.
How do i get it back? all help is appreciated
it is a t-mobile data connection. thanks
anyone??? i really need help with this i have no clue as to how to get it back
Just call your phone provider and they will talk you through adding it again.
so thats the only possible way to get back my connection???
What provider? Cingular or T-Mobile?
im with t-mobile i really want this connection back. im paying for the total internet package and cant use it.
i would call but the account is not under my name. so when i call i dont really remember the personal info such as ss# etc.
Hopefully your account is legal as it doesn't sound normal that you would have a paying account, but no access to customer service (as you have to know who's name it is under i would presume).
I'll help this time, but this really sounds like your using a hot phone...
If you're using T-Mobile US then follow the instructions here: http://tmobileusotw.wdsglobal.com/
oh. nahh im using a good phone, its not a hot phone, its jus that my mother put it under her name for me but me and her had a major argument AFTER the connection was deleted and i didnt really wanna ask her anything.
trust me the phone aint stolen.
thanks for the link though

Well don't be so quick to assume. T-Mobile will ask for ssn or security question. You can't do anything even if you have the contractor's name. But support will give the link without needing any of that.

I was assuming simply because it would seem strange to me that he would have an active phone and not know the person's information who's it is under. If he did i would assume calling them up and saying "Hey i need you to be on the line while i call T-Mobile" wouldn't be unrealistic. His reason is one i can understand, but that wasn't given prior to my response and was why i reasoned that way.
Sorry if i offended anyone.
Did the link fix your problem?
so..my buddies phone keeps 'searching' for signal.. im thinking they have disabled the imei #.. it was working the other day with with his cingular sim in it but now its constantly searching and when he goes into the network tab to select manual it says 'cant read settings from network'
Theoretically, yes. When you report a phone as stolen, the carrier will usually block the SIM card and mark the IMEI number as stolen*. I've never heard of a carrier just randomly blocking a IMEI number though. And as far as I know there's no way for them to know that the phone had another carrier's SIM card in it.
* Of course, in the case of Cingular, they do absolutely nothing with that information. When my phone was stolen (later returned, thankfully) I was on the phone with them for a long time. The only thing that would happen with a blacklisted IMEI is, IF the person took it to a store, and the associate saw it was stolen and took the initiative to take it from them and call the police.
well hes changed the rom to different verisons and also different radio verisons trying to fix and nothing is picking up signal.. so u have any ideas what could be going on?

Try a new sim card. I had my Tmobile sim card take a dump on me and that is exactly what my SDA did, kept searching for a signal. So my advice is try another sim card and if the phone picks up signal then tell him to go to his carrier and get a new one. They should do it for free.
we tried multi carrier sim cards.. tmobile cingular and cellular one.. stuck on searching.
I dont know how it is donw over in the US, but in the UK i believe that the Imei can be blockd so the phone will not work correctly. So the phone is dead to the world!!!
thats how its looking. and i cant get the imei change tool from the site to work!

Yeah i beleve Europe and the UK will block an IMEI reported stolen. The US carriers dont care. They would rather sell you another phone, even if its a free phone, and rope you into another contract. Think about it, blocking stolen IMEIs requires effort that does not pay the company back. Giving away a free phone requires effort that makes them money because you are stuck in another contract, and they can collect the termination fee if you decide to dump said contract.
Thats why in the UK most of us pay abit more each month so if the phone is taken or lost we get a new on on the same contract and the company gets no more money as no new contact!!!!!
And now you are saying to your self in the USA why did we not stay with the Brits!!! We would be better off!!!
Rule Britannia, Britannia rules the wave
God save our people and that DUMB Queen as well!

I have a client that asked me this.
They bought an unlocked At&t Tilt from ebay and put there immix sim card in. The phone works but she decided to add a data plan. Immix asked them for some sort of number. 1st i'm curious... will the tilt work in there data plan? Anything special to getting this to work? I've never used immex before. Anyone have any ideas?
I've never seen anyone try this either but i would think it would be possible. Anyone have any incite at all or guess?
First thing, are you sure they even have a data plan? I checked the website and didn't see any...
I thought the same thing, but she called. they needed some sort of number. She thought a ip address. That shouldn't be though as it should be assigned when you go online.
Are you sure it's not asking for an unlock code?

they gave her a pin number... But the phone was susposed to be unlocked already... or would there carrrier have to unlock it? I haven't tried this yet. I'll have to talk to her more about it...
The phone didn't ask for the unlock. Her carrier when she called about a data plan said she needed some sort of ip which doesn't make sense to me.
Doesn't make sence to me either. Seems to me they gave you some kinda weird code.. Why not call back and see? Ask her for more information.

I will on Monday (tomorrow) as they are closed for the weekend.
Yeah got me lost.
Update on this. The carrier signed her up for the wrong plan. The carrier though doesn't sell and mobile windows phones so wasn't sure if it would work. It did, and the customer is happy with a At&t tilt using another carrier "immix"
For those of you using ATT in the US. I went to my acct management to mess around with my plans when I discovered that my default device had been switched to a moto Q. I chose the "this is not my device" option but the Xperia is not on the list.
Are there any workarounds. The reason this is important is that I am unable to change my data plan, plus a lot of features and options that used to show up when I had my Fuze are gone.

Could you please elaborate. There is no HTC kovsky in the list of possible devices. The only HTC item is "Fuze black".
I had the same problem. I called AT&T to give them my imei number and to change my data plan and The lady kept insisting that I was using a Motorola Q. I insisted that I was not and that I was holding my x1 in my hand. She said she did an imei search and that I was wrong and kept insisting my phone was a Q! I finally just hung up. My phone under my acct. management page stills shows as a Q.
if att does not sell the xperia, i don't think that they would have it on their devices list.
Isn't that a good thing that you can go for the cheaper $15 unlimited data plan?
Couldn't u just pop ur sim in an old regular phone, change the plan and then pop the sim back into the xperia?
did you get a 3g sim card for your x1? thats what the lady told me to do because i initially wasnt getting texts nor internet.
for some reason, the lady i talked to was very helpful and was able to change all the settings on my plan - i just explained to her what kind of phone it was, smartphone with hsdpa?, so on and so on
hope this helps
The AT&T phone tool is garbage. Some of the promotional tools insists that the agent ties the IMEI number to the feature in order to add it to your account. It is ridiculous that the IMEI comes up as a different phone as an IMEI supposedly represents the DNA of the phone. Albeit the X1i is not a supported AT&T phone it should not populate as any other phone in their system at all. Maybe this is AT&Ts sly way to squeeze out any users using non-supported handsets. We already know they are capable of taking that route seeing how the iPhone conditions panned out.
AT&T Idiots
You can't call them to get any help. They go only on the IMEI # now, because they send you packets via sms/mms for the specific phone that comes up with that number. This way there is no knowledge needed of how to actually walk someone through settings. Obviously they don' t offer the X1 so they have any sort of support for it. I went through ten minutes of telling some woman it wasn't a razor! I just went to the store and told the guy I have a fuze and I wanted off my Iphone plan. He didn't even look at the phone and that was that.
IMEIs went from having the first 6 as an identfier to the first 8. This means that some IMEI lookup still pick up old phones.
Suppose the only trick if ATT aren't helping is to borrow a phone which can be identified that has similar features and to stick your SIM in it.

What are you trying to do with the AT&T website and within the X1A, what do you want access to?
If you use a lower end phone, you can get your Data plan for only $15 (medianet). Fuze is a smartphone = $30. Either way, you will get 3G and HSDPA.

LOL! I'm not trying to change anything. I'm fine with my plan. I was just curious as to why my phone was being classified as a Moto Q and wondered if anyone else had the same issue.
When I was with T-Mobile, their database would show my phone even if it wasnt offered by T-Mob.
I just bought a galaxy s5 off craigslist and verified the imei # on swappa.com and it said it was ready to activate. But it turns out it's still on someone's account. I don't think it's stolen cause the guy at sprint said the last name on the account was the same as the person that sold it to me. It didn't have a SIM card in it so I couldn't tell it was still activated.
So is there anyway I can still unlock it and use it with verizon cause the girl I bought it from keeps acting like she is getting it removed but the account is in her grandmothers name and she is really sick

A Sprint S5 will not work on Verizon, so even if you could unlock it while it's still activated on a Sprint account, it wouldn't do you any good.
Unless the person you bought it from is willing to refund your money, you're stuck with a phone you can't use.

Damn. We'll is there anything I can do to make it able to be activated on any network so I can sell it and hopefully get my money back? Other than just selling for parts witch I might end up having to do anyway
well she deactivated the phone and I got the MSL code from sprint and Verizon says they can activate it if I got it flashed to Verizon's software but now the problem is version dosent flash phones

You would also need the IMEI number to be entered into Verizon's system in order to access their CDMA network, and Verizon does not add non-Verizon phones to their system for that.
If she deactivated the phone, I would just sell it.
I have a similar problem with my galaxy S5 from sprint. I was told from 2 different sprint call center people that with the MSL code (which I already got) the phone can be used with another domestic company and also international.
From that point I started an account with T Mobile, but when I inserted the SIM card into my phone it doesnt recognize it and obiusly have no signal.
Ive tried different methods to get the phone into the GSM frecuency, even accesing to the Hidden Menu and choosing ONLY GSM FREC, tried to add an APN, and now I'm thinking to install a g900t ROM to make it work...
If anyone here can help me out with this or refer me to a thread that could help, I will appreciate that
