Couple questions, so the $50 standard phone plan, so I can purchase a $19 phone and use the esn? Also, should I be able to do the same with my incredible 2?

if you dont want to waste time on it then it should work on any verizon android phone. hopefully the apple team finds a way to hack the iphone 4
Just so you guys are aware.
ESN swapping is illegal and comes with 10 years of prison and $100,000 fine.
So I'm sure mods should close/ delete this thread.

I don't see anything wrong as long as you own the phone that you got the esn from. What's the law number regarding this, and what country.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I did some research. http://cdmagurus.com/forum-essentials/free-all/2466-esn-cloning-illegal-5.html
Around page 5 you get an answer.
You must be attempting to defraud or gain fraudulent service.
Buying prepaid time, and only using the phone you flash to would not be stealing or gaining fraudulent service.

so does it seem right for verizon to charge outrageous price when you can get it half the price? yes i know this could help people who steel phones, but doesnt metro pcs and cricket do too? they dont give a damn about the phones history. this guide was intend for good purpouses. no one here asked you if you were gonna do it or not. so please, stop acting like you are a mod. thank you

So I have been following this all day in the SGS3 forums (see here) and the servers got hit so bad that many users were without data AND calling for up to 5hours. Obviously this is a big deal and tons of people are switching but just be patient. My wife is going to the store (you can do it on-line too) tomorrow to set it up for us. I'll post updates if we hit any roadblocks.
Edit:: Ok so my wife went to do this today and she said it was like a mob scene. Said that there were people everywhere and the employees were cooking out promoting this whole thing. Took her about an hour to get through the line and get everything switched over. I got a text at work about a hour ago and it said that our plan changed. I check and it is unlimited and no interuption in service either.
Woody like, hehe!!!
Oh and they say that the HotSpot doesn't work, but it does. I checked. You can also go to the market and get Foxfi if you don't have the HS already.
I just switched over to the new plan and cut my Bill . I was paying $5 more for 5GB . No more throttle .

-----Update 27 Nov-----
This coupon code no longer works. If I find another one I will update this thread.
I have now used this service with google voice for over 2 weeks with great service. I have had the same speeds and coverage as I did with my att phone. I have not used enough data to get notified or limited in speed, if and when this happens I will update my thread.
There is one issue with straight talk and any MVNO it seems. I used two google voice numbers (personal, work) and I turn off the voicemail forwarding on my phone so that the voicemail for each works correctly (Otherwise both GV numbers would forward to the same voicemail account). Straight talk does not have the ability to change the voicemail forwarding phones. My workaround for now is to extend the number of rings out to where GV will forward to voicemail (I am in process of testing this now).
To use two GV numbers on one phone you set both as home numbers and just use the app for texts from one. There are more detailed ways to forwards texts from the second phone but if you want this info PM and ask or search for it as it is available elsewhere.

I see these posts regularly and had some questions. I have at&t service now. Is it as easy as placing the sim card into my phone and go? Will everything work like it did on at&t? What's the data transfer like? I'm really liming the idea of two phones unlimited everything for $90 as opposed to $165 for 700 mins unlimited text and calls to any mobile but only 2 GB of data. Do I need to flash anything to make everything work properly?

you don't have to flash anything. just gotta change the apn settings to st and you're good to go. the SIM packet has the apn settings that you change in network settings.
Straight Talk data connection is the same as ATT would be in your area, except, NO LTE. You will not grey LTE with straight talk. And don't count on using much more than 2gb of data either, I near they send warning texts but don't actually have a what to cut off your data.
I've been on Straight Talk ATT for 3 months and love it. Just know it's limitations. I've never gone over 600mb data in my life though. I work when I'm at work, not much time to stream videos, the rest of the time I'm at home on wifi. Also ATT sucks in my area.

You also need an unlocked or att locked phone. The Sim is recognized as an att sim.
I will add my experience here once I've used it. I tried T-Mobile 100 min 5gb plan and got rid of it because of bad indoor reception (I was Always on edge inside).

So if straight talk cuts off ur data for usage, call them, ask them to define unlimited, then ask them to define false advertising lawsuit, after I did this on my thrid disconect, I have never received a warning or been cutoff. And I use more than 16gb a month

If you have a micro sim lying around you can use it as a template and cut your old sim card down to a micro. I did it with a pair of sharp sewing scissors and it's been working fine for me.
Also, unlocking my smartphones has always benefited me in that it allowed me to sell at a higher price.

For an HTC One V with Cricket (yes, because of budget issues). I still plan on keeping the EVO, and will even donate it to developers of needed. But my question is, besides the One V, what other HTC no-contract phones do you think I would enjoy after all my time with the supersonic? Something I can modify with OC and UV and sound mods. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and again, hit me up if a dev needs a perfectly working EVO! Thanks.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
You'd be better off getting a samsung device, less hassle to root and more development due to the easier rooting. Plus all the samsung devices are selling way more than htc now. Lots of ppl have come from the evolte to the sgs3 or note 2 from terrible reception and lte > 3g/wifi handoff issues where the data just drops out til a reboot.
I like to break stuff!
The cricket service on the 3vo is way better than sprint. My of evo gets 1.5 on 3g and the 3vo usually gat about 2.2 on 3g. Yes rooting is a pain but has gotten easier with a bootable CD ROM. Plus for around 100 for a used one with bad ESN how can you go wrong.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Good advice, I appreciate it. I ended up just flashing the EVO, but immediately afterwards I changed my number on their website and dialed *228 and let my phone reboot, now 3g internet doesn't work at all. Talk and text are fine.

I hope you flashed it yourself. When ever you change your number you have to open qpst and change it in there also to get you data to work. Now before you change anything you will want to make sure you read from the phone and then save that information on the pc. I normally call it whatever the old phone number was. Then you want to make sure you write down the IMSI_S number. It is in the cdma tab. Now go through the tabs and change all the old numbers to the new one. Then go back to the cdma tab and make sure the IMSI_S number is correct and then save that profile. Now write to your phone and once it reboots you will have data again.
I got a one v for my gf. its decent. screen is a little small and dont like the sealed battery. sound is good because of the beats audio. as far as rooting, not sure. she wont let me touch it

Sure you can hit me up here or my email which would be a little quicker to get any extra help you need. I have flashed two evo's and a 3vo myself and helped out on many more. Plus my last girlfriend liked to change her number every few months so fixing that will be a snap.
Email address coming via pm in a few moments.
If you want to, you can keep using your EVO on Ting (a Sprint MVNO). Ting allows you to BYOD and I've brought two EVOs over without any problems. No overage penalties and refunds for what you don't use.
If you don't use tons of data (or are always within range of wifi), it can be very cheap. If you stream movies all day, it'll cost you an arm and a leg, though.
Think of it as the open-source carrier.
