i will later today.

Haha, that explains it. I knew I had posted a couple responses on here recently, but when I went to look for them to see if they had been replied to, I was like, "What the...? I know I answered this post here..."

Repost:
Here is what happened to me today. This is part of the letter i wrote sprint and my local news station. They will be picking this story up and broadcasting/interviewing me tomorrow. I better get something out of this and this guy is majorly screwed now.
"Here is the info that was requested about my ordeal today. I was on craigslist browsing for a new phone when i came across a brand new palm pixi for sale. I texted the person with my offer. He or she texted me back and counter offered. They then told me my personal info such as my name/address and phone i had. I asked how he knew my info and they said they worked for sprint. The issue is any sprint employee cannot access your info with out my name and pin code which i did not provide. I got upset and called sprint. I spoke to heather a customer service agent . She assured me this was fraud and could plainly see my account was accessed/bypassed by a sprint employee at 3pm today. After i gave her the persons phone number she assured me this would be handled by the fraud department/corporate and that it would be easy to track this person down.
She then reset my account passwords and pin number and transferred me to fraud. Well they are closed on the weekends so i called sprint back. I talked to a supervisor "Deborah" this time and she agreed that this was fraud but that she could not help me until i spoke to the fraud department on monday. She also said this will be dealt with swiftly and promptly as no one can access your account without approval. What scares me is the fact that this person knows my personal info, i have kids here and credit card info on the sprint account.. How many other people has he/she done this too? Is all the phones he/she sell online stolen items? Im almost ready to close my sprint account im so irate right now. I think this person should be fired/prosecuted and i should be compensated in some form. I plan on calling the better business Bureau as well next week."
Im hoping sprint really keeps their word and this goes pretty far because if customers find out about this your going to have alot of pissed off people.
This is really a WTF moment for me and my wife, the douche continues to text me not knowing he is about to get screwed royally. Im soo pissed i may cancel my account since apparently this ass doesn't need a pin to access our info.

update: i decided to not do the news interview, not worth it IMO. but i talked to the fraud/corporate security dept today and the guy is being terminated and being prosecuted for breaking protocol. sprint called it a corporate breach of security. my account has been locked until the proceedings happen and sprint will be calling me soon to ask me what they can do to keep me as a customer.
im either asking to be let out of contract and have them pay my last bill or...
asking for two new phones for me and my wife for free.

Daaaaamm like you said a big WTF, you got to be careful change all credit card info, phone number,etc
And also you got sprint in your hands so, you're are going to get lots of things from them LOL

It's good to see they took care of it quickly and didn't beat around the bush.

yeah i guess, my wife wants to go to verizon, im not sure, the prices are high there. BUT either way i win because ill get money out of it selling her blackberry and my hero.
im trying to decide on what phones to get. for my wife it will be a palm pixi, she wants a keyboard and hates android for some reason.
for me it will be a evo, epic or a new palm pre, not sure yet?

sprint corporate is making a very big deal out of this from i was told. im glad to know they take this stuff seriously. im not liking the fact my account is locked but they told me it's for security reasons.

[Q] unlock fascinate to sprint network

Hey guys new here, great site by the way, so I cancelled my contract early with verizon after having my fascinate for only two weeks. With sprint now. Wondering am I able to unlock my fascinate and use it on sprint if the phone is not in service? Thanks for any help

It's the same answer for every question like this. You can't get a Sprint phone on VZW's network or the other way around. They won't do it for you and the only way to get it to work is illegal.

You actually can. Its just very very very very very very difficult. It involves knowing dan Hesse. Sprint CEO. And a blow j. In all seriousness not likely possible. Go for the epic.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

OK cool, thanks man, I was real sceptical when I read a thread on here about unlocking and using the fascinate on any carrier, but if the carriers own the air waves and they won't connect it to there network then its obviously not even possible.

There is even a website selling codes for the fascinate to work on any network, what a rip off

So now, since I ended my contract early is there any way for anyone to use this phone if I sell it or is it a $150 paper weight now?

Idk bout the epic but I gift the evo, seems to be alot better on video but display isn't nearly as vibrant as the fascinate,all well.

you can sell it on ebay as a 'bad ESN Galaxy S samsung fascinate'.. lots of people will be interested. I'm sure you'll make good money on it. It will sell for a high dollar and fast. seriously.

If u cancelled properly it wont be a bad ESN

why everyone on this threat speak negative?? yes you can switch the samsung fascinate to sprint and very easy if you have CW.
to switch to sprint is easy but the hard part is getting the internet and pics to work

I am in st. louis and would like to trade my Epic rooted with CM6 plus many extra accessories for an Evo, preferably the white one with the newer screen. but could be persuaded for a regular one LOL.

I would try and stay local man, if you can't drive to get it don't do it. No offense to anyone but I don't trust anyone on the internet and they shouldn't trust you.
As for activation, I was told that having CM on the phone can sometimes cause issues updating the PRL for the switch so you might have to odin it back to stock or flash a different ROM. I went to stock because I was worried about having it on a leaked build. However, with that said, the Evo I got was running a rom with a very custom boot animation (Fresh) and the rep mentioned how cool it looked and asked how he could get that.

yes.. I would stay local... for both party's saftey.
you can call it in to get it activated...
or you can do it online.. by creating an account with sprint.
from what I know.. I dont see why it would matter what ROM you might have on an EVO. the ESN is all that the carrier needs.

Are you willing to sell the epic?

sure, but I would have to buy an Evo locally and activate it before I could ship the Epic

I live 2hrs south, I could buy it or trade my daughters curve and throw in some money. PM if your interested.
Posting on Craigslist probably will give you some results also.

Ah, I wish you were in this Dallas area...I just paid for an Epic recently but I would've rather done a trade.

You might get more action in the marketplace forum as well

If u still have ur epic I'd drive 2/3 of the trip to trade u my Evo plus my extended seidio battery & the stock battery w/original box & cables. I'd be coming from OK but I was gonna be in Kansas in a couple weeks anyway.

I appreciate it, but I dont think I want a trade bad enough to drive a few hrs.

Hope you get lucky, but the odds are against you in retrieving the phone or finding the person, You might find someone who is living in the complex and offer them a reward to find who is offing a vibrant that would be your best chance.

I have not used it, but an app called Plan B got released recently. It will find your phone even if you did not install it before it got stolen.
Again, i have not used it, but I think your google account still has to be associated with the phone, so you may want to try it before whoever stole it resets it. (not sure, but guessing)
I know you said gps told you its in the apartments, but Im guessing it wont show you which one? Even if it does not tell you which apartment, see it if will get you close. I read that Plan B will send the location every 10 minutes, so you could watch to see if it moves. For example, if you know its on one of the apartments, see who comes and goes, and if in that time period any of the find your phone apps tell you its moving, at least you can figure out who has it...
thats what I would do at least
if you try any of the above, let us know the results

Your just walking near the apartments and drop your keys or something a nice guy takes it and gives it to you. you thank him and start talking. you get your email from PLAN B
the location it tells you is the guy next to you.

we have received a new one for the expensive 130 dollar deductible and activated a new sim today so we will never tell if it moves again.

upgrade to Evo3D locked in for August

I called Sprint yesterday and asked about the new upgrade policy and told the guy I got my Evo in August. I asked if I would still be eligible to upgrade to the 3d in august after the policy change. To my surprise he said yes. I knew that I wasn't supposed to after the policy changes so I asked him to make a note on my account that he said I would get the upgrade this year and the policy change will not affect me until my next upgrade is due. He did it ( at least he said he did). So since I have this noted on my account do you think Sprint will go against his word and say that I can't get my upgrade. I think they are going to just have to eat it and give me the phone at new contract price. I hope I am right. I would like to hear everyones opinion ( especially sprint employees) . If they do not honor this could I just cancel my contract and pay my $120 etf and sign a new contract to get it at the discounted price? Thanks.

Just call again and see if they can locate that note. Make sure they gibe you the interaction number. If the note is present then they have to honor it

Speaking from experience, I HIGHLY doubt he actually created the note. 99% of the time they will just tell you that to get you off the phone. For future things like this, ALWAYS get it in writing. Tell them to email it to you, and DONT hang up until you get the email. I bet you 20 bucks, that if you call back, and rep wont be able to find this note.

Besides it doesn't make one bit of difference what that guy writes in his notes. Just because he typed it in doesn't mean it HAS to happen. I actually think this post is kind of stupid but I guess there will be a lot of these. You sound like a teenager. You are either eligible or you aren't. They aren't going to change it the day before the phone comes out just to screw you over.

A good way to do that is via the live chat. After the session ends, you get a transcript of your typed conversation, which includes the time, date, and everything both you typed. I have a copy of my last chat with them I'm saving, just in case. But I also agree with zone23, I don't know if they'll actually do whatever they said they would, they might tell you to go pound sand.

Hope, definitely not a teenager, I wish I still was. Im just somebody that doesn't care too much for being screwed over. I have given sprint my money on time every month for a year (in August) even though I use less than 500 minutes, 700 text, and 1Gb of data per month. I think with the money they make off me the least they can do is hold to their word and give me my upgrade.
Also as I had seen others mention he said that I would be eligible for the full $150 upgrade, not the $75 half upgrade.

I know that when I was working for [email protected] CS, if you noted something and told the customer they would get it, even if it was the wring thing to do. If they deny you if there is actually a note, ask to talk to a super visor, I can't even count how many times I've waived their upgrade due to similar situations like this.
Hopefully that was some useful input...

Actually, if it's notated it must be honored, period. If he notated he would get his upgrade in August, Sprint will honor it, unless it's some crazy off the wall impossible thing like "customer will get credit of 10,000 (where the comma should have been a period and it should have read 100.00)

Oh yeah I definitely know what you mean. I had a situation alot like that with Directtv. Now I have dish network and will never look back. I would be pissed. If I were you I would try doing what I did and call before April 1st and have them note it if they say you can get the upgrade. Worse case scenario is you wont get it and you will just be in the same boat as if you didn't call. Good luck. Hope you can get it worked out.
