Old Phone - Off-topic

Not sure if this is really off topic or not but, I had a old galaxy s 1 and I lost it. I told T-Mobile to cancel the phone then a few months later I found but, they already sent me my replacement and my parents canceled the warranty.
Now I want to know if I can put my sim card into the Galaxy s 1 to use or not.

It depends if they blocked the IMEI of your Galaxy S.

What if it is blocked. Can I still use it as a IPod touch and can they track me down?

If I put my sim card into the phone to see if its blocked or not. Will they be able to track me down? I told them I lost it at the airport but, it was in my bookbag the whole time.

I don't think so.

What if I just turn on the phone without a sim card? Track or No? Lol I just want to be on the safe side.

Why not just call them, and tell them you found it, and RETURN IT.
Or do you like defrauding your carrier/insurance co (of said carrier)??

facebook hated more than at&t

So I found this interesting link:
http://www.businessinsider.com/most-hated-companies-america-2011-6?op=1
I know this whole at&t-t-mobile merger is old news, but every at&t hater seemed to crawl out from the darkest corners to voice their opinion of at&t and now so many were going to switch off because they didn't want to belong to at&ts customer base.
It's worth remembering that other companies are hated worse... Like facebook apparently.
I hate Facebook my wife is hooked to it and she doesn't give me time.

You could just change the hosts file on her / your PC so it blocks Facebook completely.
Same with her phone if its rooted/jailbroken/WP7Hacked.

This is probably because at&t's ticker symbol is "T" so when you ask for "t" mobile stock price it gives you ticker symbol "t". But the search should be smart enough to know you want t-mobile, not "t" mobile.
T mobile is not publicly traded. They are a subsidiary of Deutch Telecom. A European corporation.
They may be publicly traded, but I'm not sure if its on an American exchange.

Someone can take it and blacklist the phone so it won't work on the network
IMEI removed, you need to be more cautious sometimes
Do you have access to the sim slot? If so, could you take a close up picture and post it. The sim ejection mechanism is what is causing the rattling noise in a lo of phones. I want to find a way to fix that.
PS. How did you get your hand on a replacement screen?

Better yet, have her call you from her phone. that way she never has to touch your phone, and you know she didn't give you a bogus number.
That's why I barely let anyone touch my phone.

Off contract HTC ONE deals.

I got mine on a humbug search on craigslist. Person had plenty for $400. At first I'm thinking BS. This will be a scam trying to send me link once I respond. Nope. She let me buy a brand new HTC ONE for $370. Was definitely not expecting that. I was just looking at one on Amazon for $630 with my employee discount. But didn't bite. What was your best off contract deal for the ONE?

Sounds a little too good to be true. Probably, she's going to open a line, get it for $200, then cut it off, which might leave you with a bad ESN. Be careful.

Which phones, you mean something like a Motorola StarTAC?
Nowadays phones have incredible razor thin profit margins. It cost HTC around that much money to even make the ONE.
As far as the text message goes, who knows if he what he was selling and you was attempting to buy. It could have been a phone but which phone?
You might have gotten a good deal but I'm pretty sure that phone isn't on the up and up.

Sure its on your account now. But if or when a retailer finds out the phone was back doored they could call Sprint and the phone will obviously be traced back to you. So you're not out the clear yet.
