People have gotten their codes, but dunno if it works or not yet. I just submitted my IMEI. Let's hope it works!
Thanks for this but I am just paranoid. What and how much damage can someone do if they had bad intentions and had our IMEI?

They can't do **** with your imei other than temporarily spoofing it.

it seems that AT&T has to give your unlock code for free after 90days (with some exceptions). there's even a way to request it from your login on their website.

The only reason we don't give it generally after 90 days is because there is a past due balance for the most part.

In my case, i paid full price up front for my LGOG on launch day. Called AT&T customer service a few days later, said i wanted the subsidiary lock code. CS opened a case with AT&T National Unlock Team. Faxed them my name, mobile number and case number. Had my unlock code 48 hours later, at no cost. Using my OG on T-mobile 4g at the moment and getting10-12mb down, 1.5-2.5mb up, plus better battery life to boot!
I used this site before on a 9700 that I used to have. Personally, I trust it.
Free code worked on my Telus unit ...
I just thought I'd let everyone know that I submitted my request a couple of days ago, and today got the unlock codes.
It worked perfectly on my Telus unit ... and, yes, it was FREE.

Would AT&T still give me the code even though I bought my OG off of eBay?

Just put in a request as well, thank you.
I noticed the OP hasn't gotten any thanks for this yet, if it worked for you I'm sure he would appreciate it.
Just saying.
Odd, I just put in a request to this site, and a few minutes later got and email from them simply saying, "Please stop trying to bypass our security."
I have no idea what this means. I wasn't trying to bypass anything, nor would I even know how. I responded to their email, and will keep you all updated if I hear back from them.

$550. But I went from spending over $100/mo on AT&T to $45/mo on StraightTalk, so I'll recoup the cost in 8 months. That's how I sold it to my wife anyway.

Update: I just got my code, it only took them 2 days. It worked like a charm! Well, the OG said it unlocked successfully, I haven't tested it yet. I have my work phone with me from T-mobile. I guess I'll give that a shot.

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.
I was thinking of buying an S4 to replace my rezound. If I don't let the Verizon people touch it or turn it on, what are the chances that the phone will NOT have root breaking OTA?
Thanks

If you use a discounted upgrade price they are not going to let you walk out with them activating it.

I used my two year upgrade at flywire. Com
Came with mdk
When I first got my phone at the store I told them not to open it and they didn't. I told them I was in a hurry and that I'll activate it later.
Sent from my VZW Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I bought my S4 from Best Buy last Saturday. They made me activate it and set it up, but it only began to download the update. When the update notification asked me to install the update, I said "wait 23 hours". When the 23 hours were over, I instructed it to wait 23 more hours. In that time, I was able to root my phone, install a custom recovery, freeze the update APK, install Darkside's ME7 rom, and sigh with relief. Also came from the Rezound. It was a good choice.

Just bought my S4 from best buy 2 days ago it came with the mdk firmware first thing I did was turn off mobile data to make sure the update could not download. Rooted unlocked and had CM 10.2 on my S4 within the first hour. Just make sure when you buy the phone you turn off WiFi and data that way the update can't download

Don't get me started on the Rezound, by far the worst phone I have ever owned.
Anyway, just got back from Verizon. They said they wouldn't let the phone take the update before I got it, and it was pre update. So all is wel.

This is NOT true.
The insurance you have will transfer over to your new phone. I picked up a couple of S4's for my parents a week ago and the insurance stayed on their lines. It did this automatically once the phones were activated.

Great question! Your coverage is on the line, not the specific device. While we do cover the device active on the line at the time of peril, keep in mind you may be asked for a proof of purchase should you need to file a claim. We welcome you to review the terms and conditions of your coverage at phoneclaim. com. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Thanks!

Not so sure of that. I latched on to mine via Craigslist. Happened to be a Verizon employee with an upgrade due and wanted some cash so I ended up with a brand new S4 and transfered my SIM from my Droid Razr Maxx to it and activated it. And whatever he did to help me with this process, was able to transfer my existing Asurion ins. to it.

Purchasing from a third party does come with inherent risks. For this reason, we encourage our customers to purchase directly from the carrier. If you have questions about your claim, one of our specialists would be happy to look into your claim for you. Please send us a direct message on Twitter @AsurionCares with your claim number and the best contact number for you. Be sure to include #xdaforum so we can easily identify your response. If Twitter is not convenient, we also welcome you to email the same information to us at [email protected]. Thanks!
Hmmm... Is it just me that's thinking this... but when we include #xdaforum in a message... they would know that we're rooted/modded and then decline the claim? I think everyone is pretty much rooted and their devices are modified in some kind of way. Nice try though...

Actually I just called Verizon directly and explained the situation. They informed me that I am still covered under Asurion Insurance and it was simply a transfer from my previous device to this one SINCE my S4 was in a brand new state and I am the only one that ever activated via it's MIED # or whatever. Now for someone purchasing a "Used" device off ebay, craigslist, ect... the former issue of no coverage would be true in their case.
So guys hi for those of you who know me and those of you who don't. Tomorrow I am due to pick up a new phone for an upgrade at Best Buy. The Galaxy Note 3 is by far the biggest and best phone I have seen specs for. Prior to, I was a device maintainer for Team Baked on the Nexus S 4G. I was doing research as to find a device I can assist bringing the Baked Rom to. According to This article, Cyanogenmod will be releasing nightlies for this device and include open source. This in turn opens a door for our team to do what we do to provide this fantastic rom on this device. I look forward to try and serve you guys for the next few years with listening to feedback and see what we can do to ultimately make this the top inverted running machine you can get your hands on. My team's webpage is Here
Look forward to it

I want to apologize ahead of time because I kind of jumped the gun out of excitement. It is really going to depend when I get to best buy what kind of deal they will be giving me for this device, because as far as I know through Sprint, it will be $350 unless Best Buy has this phone on sell. This phone is my 1st pick, of course, but if I don't end up getting it, I will be getting the LG G2 which is on sale with an upgrade for $50 so fingers crossed and I will change the title of this thread to Possible, I apologize once again ahead of time.

I understand that but it all comes down to money in the end, money I don't have at that and getting a new phone compared to the refurbished evo 4g i had a few weeks ago is a lot better. I would really like this phone but I thought the phone would be completely free for upgrading and it unfortunately might not be, regardless, if, when we start development on this rom again, whichever device I get, this device should get our rom even if I am not the maintainer for it.
I got the note 3 from best buy for $150 bucks.. not bad i say
CM11 all the way.
Radioshack has an online price of $300. Just ordered mine yesterday. You have to call the number listed for the price though, they don't list it on the website. Not on the mobile site anyway.

Note 3 has no problem getting calls in Phoenix while on lte and the LG G2 and nexus 5 etc have lots of problems . Plus say you are downloading a 1.7 gb rom and get a call on a LG G2 it will fail because it disconnects you from lte to re connect to cdma ... When sprint upgrades all towers to circuit fall back it will still suck to have only one path for data voice etc .... I used LG G2 for a week and gave it to my nephew . I am not saying it's not a good phone but on sprint right now it's not a good phone

I agree with you somewhat on the previous statement but also the download just pause on incoming call and then you could resume it later so it would still pick up where you left off biggest problem I have is trying to get baked fully working because the CM 11 nightlies are not fully there yet and that has to do with the switching of bands so on the cm 11 nightlies you can't make a phone call or send mms on LTE yet
