hi guys
My cousin is returning back to india from the US and he is going to bring me an Atrix buyin it with a 2yr contract. However he is gonna pay the 100$ for the mobile and would never pay the monthly rent for the connection. Am gonna unlock the mobile here(india) and use it and in the next 6 months i am going to USA . Can i use the Phone in the US now ?? With ATT or Without ATT will they be able to track me for all the bills which were due every month using the IMEI??
sorry if this seems stupid...
Thanks anyways..
While ethically wrong, no they won't report on the IMEI. It's not like a ESN where if it's blacklisted, a provider won't even touch it. You shouldn't have any problems (considering AT&T doesn't even flag stolen phones IMEI's).
As the poster before me said, the IMEI will not be blacklisted but however if he is buying the phone on contract with at&t and never paying the bills on it, it will probably mess up his credit rating.
Do you need a contract in order to use the springboard?
Technically no. If you buy it w/o a contract it costs more ($429.99), but you could get a pay as you go type plan for it. There are many options. Or you could just use it as a wireless device if you don't want to use 4G. (However, as I understand it to initially register the device you will need a buddy with a tmobile sims so you can receive a text message registering it).
If your trip to Turkey lasts only a week or two, you probably don't have to register your mobile phone, but if you plan to stay several months, especially if you have a residence permit (İkamet Tezkeresi) you will probably have to register your phone and pay TL120 in tax, or purchase a mobile phone from a shop in Turkey (thus also paying the tax) despite this page on the website of the Turkish Consulate-General in London which states that "There is no charge levied for this registration."
So, my brother is there with his HTC Desire C device bought from Egypt is blocked, how could he over-ride the IMEI problem? And for FREE of course as his budget is too low to pay the 120 TL needed for taxes
Thanks
I really like this watch for the size and look mt question is I have a note 4 can I use this watch just like a regular smart watch example( Moto 360, gear 2) without the phone plan... Check emails, text, web, social media from my watch and also control music
U can but must be bluetooth paired with the phone, or u could always use wifi/or mobile share
I believe ur service provider have the thing called multi-sim. it is the same phone no thus u can use it on ur samsung gear

I really don't want to use it as a phone.. I want it mainly for a smart watch

Purchase one from AT&T for ($299) outright and tether it to your phone. AT&T sold me one without a contract or having to setup a plan for it. If they tell you that you have to setup a plan for it, you can still purchase it outright and immediately terminate the service without having to pay any ETF's.

You can use it without a data plan.
Att can sell you just the watch without service. Ymmv though, some people were able to do it in store
u can and then the battery drain be bit lover too, im using in it with a sim without a data plan ( dont need it), and so far its great
In Vancouver, i pay $35 a month with a one-time $10 SIM on a 7-eleven/Rogers plan. No commitment, pay-as-you-go . Been using it as a primary and leave the S5 at home. Bought it outright at Samsung store Metrotown $300 Canadian.
Purchased this lgg8x on sprint network, come to find out the phone hasn't been activated! I can't activate it because its on the other persons account and I can no longer get in contact with him (scam, get a phone and pay it monthly but sell it now without paying it off), I am now stuck with a very expensive paper weight! What can I do to get it to activate or to get that off so I can unlock it to use with Verizon? Before you flag me, I've researched this and majority of the information is outdated.
Thanks in advance
