Am I screwed?

I just got a galaxy tab Sprint off ebay and it's still activated. 3g works. I don't think its stolen because i got the box complete with all the contents. my concern is i wont be able to activate this thing when it eventually turns off.
anyone have a similar experience?

You can still use it as a wifi only tab.

I know, I would eventually like to add it to my Sprint plan.

Then what is the problem ? Here in europe you can use any phone you want with the plan you subscribe.

that it may be linked to another account??

Why don't you just contact the guy that sold it to you?

Sorry but are you guys on drugs or something?
All you do is put another sim card in, Or am I mistaken and Sprint do not use sim cards or something?

It's a cdma version, so no sim card. But i think you can still use it with another plan. Try to contact sprint.

SIM unlock xperia T 3uk

Hi thinking of buying one for someone but the one with reasonable price is 3uk locked. Seller don't want the hassle to deal with CS. Nothing coming up in Google and it's PITA to search using xda app. So is it even possible to sim unlock and how much the going rate? Any link would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[Q] Selling an AT&T Galaxy S5, need to activate?

Hi,
I'm selling my AT&T Galaxy S5. I want to keep it "as new", boxed, etc. so I've never turned it on. I was just wondering if there is any activation process with the phone? (I'm using the SIM in another phone, and the SIM is already activated.) I don't want to send the phone to someone, and have then be unable to use it. If there's an activation process with the phone then I'll put my SIM in and start it up once before sending off the phone.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Nope. It should just work.

Be careful, the expectation is that Samsung region-locked all of the S5's sold in N America, so you would need to make a five minute phone call within the N American market before selling the phone. You can find more info here: http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s5-region-lock-367402/

Thanks guys. The person buying the phone is also US-based, so as long as they can use it with their AT&T SIM in the US I think all will be well.

TBH, you'd be better off buying a HTC One ATT/T-Mo variant since (I think, but haven't looked up) all frequencies work on it.
Anyways, you should be able to just insert the SIM and you should be good to go. Make sure you go into your Mobile Network settings, and change the mode to GSM. Alternatively you could go into testing (*#*#4636#*#*) and change the mode to something like WCDMA preferred.

Got hands on nexus 6 att

Hey guys i had to gwt my hands onecone. Im a verizon customer and i couldnt wait tovget lucky for an unlocked one . Is it possible for me to get this thing to work . i dont have a nano yet. Trying to get a friend of mine from a verizon store to help me out there. If thays the case, will the nano sim card work for me or no ? Im on wifi and i love this thing !!!!!

You need to unlock the phone. It is SIM-locked to AT&T

To get it unlocked through at&t I need an account number and all that. I'm a Verizon customer so I don't have that information. I just bought the phone retail at an att. I heard you can unlock through 3rd party. Are there any recommended sites?

This makes no sense. Please try to rephrase what you are asking for?

Hopefully my editing was clear. Sorry about that

If you're a Vzw customer, get a Vzw nano Sim.

I'm battling the same thing. I'm a Verizon customer and bought the phone outright through AT&T on a friends account. Went to cellunlocker.net and waiting for them to go through another database for an unlock code

Just got word from art that December 4 they will loosen the requirements to getting it unlocked for free. Which may help us

Right now I have no data, but I have voice and text. Every hour or so I will get a message asking for my sim lock pin, which I don't have

I was able to get mine sim unlocked and it's working perfectly on Verizon without any issues.

Through that online unlock website ? How much though . supposedly about to be free through att.. NP issues at all though? Lol that's tempting ...
