Lost phone found now what? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So my sister lost her Sprint Galaxy S II phone a couple weeks ago and got one on insurance. Then this weekend she found it stuck in a blanket in her closet. Is there anything she can do with it? I'm guessing another sprint user couldn't use it now but maybe flash it for a cricket user or something?

That phone can no longer be used, once you tell the insurance its lost or stolen its deactivated permanently from what I understand. And since they replaced your phone you have to send in your old phone if it's ever recovered. Imo it is immoral to file a insurance claim in order to profit from a company, just like if you filed a car claim to make money. You haven't done this yet but that's what you are asking how to do.

Regardless of what people say. If you report a lost phone to insurance it does not get blacklisted unless its reported stolen or you directly call Sprint to report it. I lost my og epic and the person who found it called one of my contacts and returned it. My bro uses the phone on his line till this day no problem.. And all he did was call customer service to do an esn swap. Phone was not flagged or anything..

It sounds like you've made your decision. Fraud isn't worth the risk to earn a few extra bucks to me.

If it were me I'd keep it. Extra toy.

I hope they track you down and hold you or your sister accountable. People like you are the reason everyone's insurance goes up.

[Q] i lost the back to my phone

The original back that is. I still have my extended battery back, but the original one is lost forever. Will sprint replace it?
really?
Sprint is not going to replace something that you lost, without paying tep. Maybe if you found a nice rep that might give you a used one. I just did a search on ebay http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=ep...id=1&_localstpos=&_sc=1&_sop=15&_stpos=&gbr=1 you can get a replacment for
$7. Ï just spent 30 sec on that im sure you can find cheaper if you look, you might also find a cheaper one if you spend more itme.
hope this helps

They trying to offer me 100 bucks for the Nitro what an A**
He said he buys and sells phones for a living im like Pshh, If you did you wouldnt had offered me this low and such. I shoudnt have whited out his number
Is it really such a surprise to see a low-baller like that? Craigslist is like a step up from a yard sale or black market.
I'm always hearing how someone got some crazy good deal on CL, I NEVER hear about how someone sold something for a mint on there.

I've got some wheels and tires for sale on craigslist right now. Listed them for $800 and the first guy offered $350. I didn't even respond.
I'd take their email addresses and use them for 'certain websites' that need an email address for submission.
That's more then the phone is worth anyway..you should take the offer

Free Sprint Airave

Lastweek when I got my Siii - I called Sprint customer service line and just ask if they would send me an Airave. I did not threaten to cancel or anything as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189192.
The rep checked availability and shipped
In checking the the tracking number looks like it's sitting on my porch.
The rep said no charge, no changes to my service plan, no lease or anything. If I cancel my service I must send the device back. But while a customer I can use it free of charge.
:good:
I didn't even call they are giving them away like hotcakes now. I just used the sprint chat on their website.

Lol. At home I have to rely on my Airave. It's that bad. Verizon and ATT phones work flawlessly.
I'm thinking of switching to Verizon or at&t. I've grown tired of this terrible coverage I have in my area.

I have 2 Airrave's on my account. 1 was free from Sprint. The other I bought off Ebay for like $60. Both are life savers. Wish Sprint would get it together already...
The number listed in the OP you reference is no longer in service. LOL!
New number is 1 866-866-7509

i contacted tmobile support they asked if i dropped it. i havent dropped it. there isnt any physical damage around the affected area. they said if it was physical related there would be a non refundedable charge on the account of $149.99 and then we got disconnected

I would think that because it came out of the box like that, it would be a warranty claim, not insurance. Defective equipment and all that.
yea. i talked to tmobile. they went over that they are sending me a new phone. and all new accessories as i get to keep my old ones too
it is on back order but it will arrive between now and june 13th? and that if its ruled as physical i will be charged $150 for the phone and i get to keep it and continue paying for the old one. blah.

its cool. i already proccessed the order. no big deal. i dont mind paying 150 if its at my fault which im 100% sure it isnt so im not stressing.

Sprint up program coming soon ...

Supposed to compete with T-Mobile and Verizon and att.... Personally it like you're renting ya own phone since u gotta turn it in when u upgrade ya device... But then they say the high charges for plans is to cover the cost of the device ... So if we r renting the phones drop prices on plans ....

I saw this on g+ this A.M..I read its supposed to start this month on the 20th i believe. . And every 12 months you would be eligible for an upgrade ..So if this is tru i will be eligible for my upgrade at the end of October. ..
I don't c the value we still pay high premium for a phone that we don't get to keep and then get asked to go ahead and start a new payment on another phone that u can't wind up keeping ...unless u cancel but that a whole other can of worms ...

My question is if I put $200 down does it lower the monthly cost. And if I just buy my phone outright, can I still take advantage of cheaper plans.
Here is the pricing, looks competitive based on the other carriers.
Giving the phone back is only mildly annoying. I don't know about the rest of you but I have a drawer that is a retired phone graveyard. Just taking up space.
I'm sure some phones maintain their value for a while but getting your money back when selling it seems like a bit of a gamble and just plan irritating. Listing it on swappa or craigslist, dealing with people, negotiating a price. More work than I am interested in.
