Long story short I have a white 16gb i605 with a small chip on the screen below the home button which is covered by the rubber case. It has an unpaid bill with Verizon. The stylus is missing.
It had the box and paperwork and charger and case with holster.
I use it through tmobile and I don't think it can be activated through Verizon due to the bill. I never tried.
I am going to get a bigger tablet and smaller phone. I tried this thinking it could combine two devices but really it has only replaced the phone and some of the stuffi use the tablet for so I'd rather just go back to small phone and big tablet.
I was just curious what is worth so I know what to sell it for.
Put it on ebay, its only worth what somebody will pay for it.

I would be surprised if anyone wanted that thing. Sounds quite useless as you have no spen(big feature) and an unpaid bill. You better post all that info if you sell it. Don't be a jerk off
Lastly, if it is a t mobile phone, then why post this on a section where you don't think it can be activated? Why not post in t mobile?

It is a verizon phone. *I* use it with t-mobile. I was under the impression that s-pens were cheaper than new phones.
I would not try to sell it as a clean esn phone which is why I am trying to get a realistic value as it is.
BTW Its far from useless. I can use talkatone and use it as a voip phone, put a tmobile sim in and use it as a t-mobile phone, put in an at&t sim and use it as a AT&T phone or connect to wifi and have a great little wifi toy.

I bought my i605 off of craigslist from somebody who had an unpaid bill, with plans of letting the bill go to collections. This was about 3 months ago and I have not had any issues. I am pretty sure that unpaid balances are tied to the sim card and not the phones esn.

Pretty sure this is correct. You can look up countless videos on YouTube about this very issue. They usually just pop a new Sim in and its all good to go.

These days bad ESN Verizon 4G phones are worth almost as much as clean ESN ones. You can always use an activated Verizon 4G sim in a verizon phone regardless of ESN status. If you go through Verizon for activation they will not activate it, but basically they can't stop you from using the hardware like the old days of 3G/pure CDMA hardware.
Good luck with your sale. If I were you I'd price it about $250 and it should sell like hotcakes.

I am hating Verizon right now because my coverage is below par (1 bar 3g for 4 years). I dont care about the size of the Note 2 or Spent (using AOSP ROM). Should I sell Note 2 now or wait. Should I sell it at all? Really need your input

If you have bad coverage for Verizon, I wonder if/why you believe it would be better with another service provider. Before jumping the gun why not get someone with another Note 2 on Verizon and or another Verizon smartphone to your house to see if it's not your particular phone. Also why not try to have other people with other networks over to your house to see what their bars are like? If may be that if Verizon has bad coverage in your area that it might not be that much better with other service providers. Lastly, if you wanted to keep your Note 2, which in really the best smartphone out there, and your unlimited why not just invest into a cell phone signal enhancer for your house, which would help with signal for your Note 2 and other other smartphone you get in the future?
If you like the Note 2 then you could just use a new carrier.

What are good carriers near you. I'm sure you could sell or trade that note 2 but you should go to T-Mobile and play with a nexus 4. All I hear is how bad the battery is for a top end device. If you can tough it out in a few months nicer phones will be dropping.

In Portland, where my parents live even though Sprint, tmo, and Verizon show 100% coverage you get no reception whatsoever in their area unless you have AT&T. If people in the OP's same area get better coverage witg another carrier then why not switch? Why own a phone and go with a carrier if you can't even use it at home?

there is a town(Rochester, IN) 1 hr west of me that has absolutely no Verizon coverage...you can not even buy a Verizon phone there lol. that being said just switch carriers and keep the note 2.

Yes you can sell your unlimited vzw account. There are a few for sale on ebay right now (you can sell for about $200). It just takes a call to vzw from you and then the buyer. It's as easy as that. *You do lose you phone number though.

Here's my question, how many of you came from a Samsung device to the HTC one and are overall happy with there decision? 32gb is a lot of space but.....ya its not removable.
How hard is it to unlock the bootloader cause god knows at&t loves locking down there devices?

1. I had the SGS3 on AT&T and have been using my HTC One since May and I am still sitting on 12GB of free space.
2. Battery has been fine, I had to get my original one replaced through warranty because it kept locking up and the it wasn't properly aligned but the new one actually gives me a much better battery life. I went from 2 hr's screen @ 18 hr's used to almost 3 hr's screen at 20's used. Again I have work e-mail and security software installed on my phone which drains the battery a good amount.
3. Depending on what bootloader version you get with the new device you can either use Revone/Moonshine to unlock the bootloader or if you get a device with the newer bootloader you can still use HTCDEV to unlock it the official way through the manufacturer.

I collect almost every flagship device from the top OEMs and the HTC One is a huge upgrade from the S3. I've held a S3 today and it felt so horrible in my hands because I'm so used to holding this metal housing on my phone. And the difference in speed is crazy
If you plan on switching to AT&T you have the choice of a 32GB version or 64GB version. Plus cloud storage if you use Dropbox or Drive
And I think we have a AIO(All In One) toolkit now to make it even easier to unlock your bootloader

Pretty sure straight talk uses AT&T towers.
And in my opinion customer service is the biggest downfall of mvnos like straight talk. Go ahead and look up some reviews there are a ton of horror stories, people getting there service or data throttled or even cut off at arbitrary times, and not being able to get it straightened out. Eff that.

You can't expect good consumer service from prepaid providers. Just look at Metro PCS.. No disrespect but when I call consumer service I want someone who I can understand answering my questions
And Straight Talk uses AT&T and T-Mobile towers. You choose which carrier you want when buying the sim. They also support AT&T LTE now.

I have for the past few years always bought the phones I wanted from craigslist, I would get an att phone and then root+ custom rom then use on straightalk by setting the APN.
Well when the note 2 came out I really wanted one but couldnt find one under $600 used, so I got on a friends verizon plan and paid $300 for my note 2.
Fast foward a year or so and now she is letting the phones get shut off due to an outstanding balance on it (always paid my part)
So my question is.... will this phone need unlocked to be able to use it on straight talk? Would a root and custom rom be all thats needed or do i need to have it unlocked? I still have my straight talk sim card.
This is my first time dealing with a verizon phone and a situation like this.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Sorry, your current phone might not be eligible for any plan on VZW since she is terminating for outstanding payment. It depends if they block your device from the network or not, go to a Verizon store with your device and explain the situation, I'm sure they would try to retain the business if it is at all possible.

You can use this phone on ATT and Tmobile and any of their MVNO's as well as on Pageplus, selectel and couple others.. So to answer your question NO you are not screwed you still have options..
This phone comes unlocked already no need to install custom rom. but you do need to change the APN's
just pull out the Verizon sim card and pop in the sim card you have and should work but you will have to change the apns for mms and data
Awesome... thanks

What Straight Talk option... CDMA or GSM, the procedure is very different and of varying degree of difficulty...
CDMA (Verizon/Sprint) - need a donor ST phone, and clone the ESN/MEID, plus tweaks in the radio settings. Unlocked or S-OFF and root required, 3G data possible, no 4G
GSM (AT&T/T-Mobile) - Edge (2G, around ~220kb/s) data possible out of box with no changes to phone except change radio mode and add APN setting. 3G/4G possible on AT&T only with pretty in depth modification of radio settings and some prop.build file edits, this is still in the works for a walk-thru, this also would require an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF and root.

The method to move it to Straight Talk w/Verizon towers is the relatively the same as moving a Rezound to PagePlus, follow that tutorial except substitute a Straight Talk 3G smartphone (instead of a PP phone) as a donor and program the Rezound accordingly.
If AT&T has service in your area and you are not comfortable with the heavy modifications required to do that, I would recommend moving to GSM service... get a Straight Talk AT&T GSM SIM and go from there. AT&T is recommended over T-Mobile as the frequecies used for higher speed data on T-Mobile are not compatible with the Rezzy.
Why is it going to cost you $500 to get out of your current contract? Honestly, unless because of service coverage you are forced to Verizon, drop them completely... A good GSM smartphone with HSPA+ can be had for well under $150 used, a new Nexus 5 will set you back $350, and a Straight Talk/AIO Wireless/AT&T Go Phone SIM card will run you $45-$60 per month, saving $40-$60 per month, easily paying for the phone in a just a few months.
Well I'm getting off my parents line and getting my own. Considering my lack of credit, Verizon is going to charge $400 for a security deposit, along with the first months bill. If I want to buy a phone that is on there too ($199 but I'll get $100 back). I have considered a gsm company, but up here in the mountains, Verizon is basically monopoly. All the other carrier's coverage is hit and miss.

Actually, for that kind of money I would look at some of the ZTE, LG, or Samsung phones that Straight Talk has that are CDMA (Verizon) based, for under $200 you can get ST phone that will just work (sometimes using Verizon ST on a flashed phone isn't the most reliable for all services) with Jellybean. ZTE are not the best phones, but they are not crap either, a friend has the ZTE Solar and loves it... Plus you will still save $50/month over a traditional VZW plan.

The S3 is nice, but at $399 its a little steep, although you might be able to get one on eBay for around $320 or so. The ZTE Solar is $179 online, 4.5" display, dual core 1.2ghz, 768MB ram, and JB 4.1. Not super impressive, but acceptable.
EDIT: Nevermind... it seems the Straight Talk ZTE phones are all GSM, not Verizon based, it has a SIM card when I looked at my friends this morning. Guess I was barking up the wrong tree the whole time. :/
No problem, I appreciate the input! I wish st would get the S4 already

Ah... gotcha... Out of the box you will only get Edge, the radios in the Rezound are not tuned for US GSM frequencies.
HSPA(+) is possible in some instances with significant tweaks to the build.prop file and radio NV settings, not a procedure to be taken lightly... And the signal has to be really good or it won't work... I mean REALLY good... This is @REV3NT3CH area of expertise, I'll tag him and hopefully he can be of assistance.
I been reading up on it but there are so many post I get lost in the shuffle, lol Im just trying to make sure I'm using the right sim before I go locking the boot loader and flashing to stock, but hey thanks for the quick replays, much appreciated.

Ok... Just for your info, nano, micro, mini, or standard SIMs are electrically identical, just the physical size is different.

I need help. I am losing my mind. I ordered a Verizon note 2 from eBay with a bad display so I could swap the mobo from it into a Sprint note 2 with a good display that I had laying around. The seller swears the phone was functional before the screen broke. Once I installed the mobo in the Sprint note 2 I immediately noticed it had no signal. Thinking I got scammed I bought another board off of eBay and upon installation I am in the same situation - no signal. Since then I have installed both Verizon mobo in two different Sprint note 2s and both have no signal.
Now, I realize that I could have gotten scammed on both boards, but I find it highly unlikely. An I missing something? Is it not as simple as just swapping a Verizon mobo into a Sprint housing? Do I have to swap every single piece from a Verizon phone into a Sprint housing? Doesn't Sprint and Verizon use the same frequencies, therefore their antenna arrays would be the same? I'm hoping someone can give some answers to the above. I thank anyone in advance the can help cure my insanity!

Unlike Sprint, Verizon uses a SIM card to activate on the network. I bet both your motherboards would work (assuming they have clean ESN) if you went and activated the phone at a Verizon store. I'm guessing you don't want to signa two year contract to test this, so if one of your friends has Verizon you can try to swap their SIM card into your Note2 and see if it picks up any signal.
I don't think it's possible for a Verizon Note II to work on the Sprint network though, if that is what you were trying to do. Sprint has some special chip that hard-codes the SIM information in their phones.
