Okay, I was trying to get some clarification here. My wife has the Evo 4G and is eligible for an upgrade. I have the 3D, and we both love the hell out of our phones. One of my very closest friends has Sprint, and wants the iPhone 4S but is not upgrade eligible. Would it be possible to upgrade to the 4S online, and when the phone arrives not activate it, and sell it to my friend for the price that I had paid for it? My wife and I have no interest in an iPhone and I am not looking to make money, I am just looking to help out a good friend, and we don't care if we lose the upgrades, we are very happy with our current phones.
Any clarification if this is legal, or possible would be great. I don't want to do anything that could be considered illegal, etc. Thanks!
U can do it. Nothing wrong with it but they will activate it on ur line and then u have to take it off. That is if u get it from the store. Ive done this 2 times.

Thanks for the replies guys. So when the iPhone comes in the mail can I just give it to him and he can activate it or do I need to do anything else?

Ya you shouldn't need anything else.

If you don't activate it first, they may require you to have it released from your line. Its just a simple call to CS asking them to release it. Also, be aware they may charge you the $36 activation fee after getting the phone and then charge him again when activating it. This may be the case if you don't activate it first. Be sure you guys don't get double charged, they have been doing this alot lately.

I left my phone somewhere and I can't get it for awhile. I have an extra tb laying around. Can I go in, have them deactivate the old sim and give me a new one to use? Then when I do get my phone back, I can just switch it over. Would this be a problem with vzw? Any ideas?

That should be no problem at all.
I have 5 Bolts that I swap Sims around on, just to test certain things with each one.
As we know not all Bolts react the same to everything.
Anyway, that shouldn't be an issue at all.
Cool thanks. Can I get one from a certified retailer or whatever, or should I just goto the corporate store? I'll be around both today but a retailer might be closer.

An actual Corporate Store would be preferred and may even be necessary.
Sometimes the retailers aren't as cooperative or caring of your needs and some are not authorized to give the Sims out without a phone.
(at least in my experience, it's better to go to an actual VZW store which are further for me as well)
Yeah I figured. Thank you for the reply. Dying without my phone (well sim, lol)

The non corporate stores will actually charge you 20 dollars for a new sim. Its better to just go to a corporate store or order one through customer service.

Went into a retailer since I called around and they didn't have any problem. Looked at me funny with my sonic the hedgehog

So, my DNA screen cracked, as some of u may know. Well according to my tracking #, HTC got my device saturday, now i know they probably didnt even know it arrived until today. But i havent got an email, or a call from them yet. Have any of u dealt with HTC repair? And if so....did they contact u to let u know they recieved your device? Also, how are they to deal with? Were they efficiently fast? Thanks guys. Any replies with knowledge of HTC repair would be greatly appreciated.
I paid the full 600.00 retail for my DNA, and i was sure to put my receipt showing that in with the phone i sent them. Lol. So u can see why i would b a little worried about it.

I sent my Dna for repair too. I did not check the tracking number yet. But customer service was good. I had problems with sim not being recognized.
How much they quoted you for a screen repair?

Free. It wasnt my fault lol. It got hot while charging, i unplugged it and stepped out in the cold for a cig, i literally heard, and felt it crack in my hand. Theres no physical damage to the device. Its NEVER been dropped.

Damn, where do you live at? Siberia? What was the outside temp when that happened? No amount of tech can defeat simple physics I suppose...

Mine got delivered on the 29th but the HTC repair tracking says "request initiated". They dont see it as received yet. They told me it would take up to 3 weeks. What was the expectation that has been set with you time wise?

I got email "in my spam email gmail" on the 28th. They are trying to make me pay 220.00 to fix the damn screen! I may just have to pay it. If they wont budge at all, i will pay it i guess. I dont want a phone with a cracked screen! It just pisses me off, because like i said.......the crack was NOT my fault!!!
What repairs are u receiving again bro?
Edit......i see now, sim problems.

It is kinda your fault, if its not your fault, whose fault is it. You took a hot phone in the cold. Glass cracks with extreme temperature changes.
But 220 does sound very high. I would think more like 100

You might want to revise what you told HTC.
Ya, i saw that already, but in my defense.....the phone still got super hot when charging. Also, ive seen a few others with cracked screens already too!
I called htc to dispute the 220.00 fee. They are going to work with me, since they told me it was covered before i even shipped it to them.

Fighting a claim of "customer induced damage" is a *****. It's kind of a hostage situation. They have your phone and if you want it back repaired you have no choice but to pay up. If you choose not to they'll also charge you for shipping it back to add insult to injury. If they say no to a warranty claim it's still got to be repaired so you're kind of stuck. I hope it works out for you.
What can possibly make them repair cracked screen for free? Without any other signs of abuse? Any ideas?

No, more legit option.
When you get it back, fixed, get a squaretrade warranty on it. ADH is covered and they are quick to repair or pay you retail.
It is well worth the $100 bucks
Thanks for the replies. Lol

I can be a little shady, but there is a way to do it if you google it to get it for 15 dollars. I did it, and you have to enter in a computer profile which I entered as a generic Asus laptop, and bam. Beats Vista by a mile, but am liking me some mint, just like you said. Unfortunately, it has a blue screen crash that takes me back to when I was young.

I have the insurance plan, will they replace a phone with accidental damage? Please share any replacement experience with BB. Thank you.
Yes they will replace it

Do they replace it in store? Or should I plan on being without a device for a bit while a replacement ships?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Depends on availability and what their pos system says
Edit: they'll give you a loaner phone if they have to ship you a new one
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Typically takes 1-3 business days. They offer you a loaner if you need, but it's usually a dumb phone. If you have an unused handset, they'll even switch your service over to it for you, instead, and they set up the new phone again when it arrives. No problem with water damage or anything. No limit on number of claims (my wife has tested both). Only real limitation is that they won't replace it if you lose it. Even a baggie of recognizable parts should suffice. I'll never use Verizon insurance again, and now buy all my phone through best buy.
Wow that is awesome. I'm glad I paid the 130 or so when I got this device.

Let me know if they give you another inspire or update the phone to a newer model. My son is using an inspire right now.
