So is there ANY way to sell a Sprint phone if I still have a balance on it? I ask because I dropped Sprint after a yr of having them. I had one device activated first, then at the yr mark, mine. Then...

Wait I thought you were saying that if someone gives you the title before it's paid off then they can take the car back if it's not paid. I'm confused. It happens when I just wake up and start...

THAT is your hangup? :lol: You completely skipped over that there aren't titles for phones?
So I guess that is what we do...create phone titles to sell! But that is basically what I said in the...

From now on in order to avoid situations like this you'll have to go to the phone retailer and check the person's account and make sure the device isn't still financed or under a 2 year contract.

This scenario doesn't make sense. Why would the bank give you the title if it's NOT paid off? I'm sure banks aren't stupid enough to give you the title with the intent that the owner is in the bank...

It depends on where you are. If you're in a big city...yeah...cops have better things to do. I live in a very low crime area and the cops are always looking for something to do.

Cops will do nothing here.
I bought a $100 sub-woofer on craigslist. I met the guy at a 3rd party location, had no way to test out the sub, but it looked great. Took it home, and it didn't work....

The problem though, is that the Sprint phone did have a clear ESN at the time of purchase. However, the buyer left himself vulnerable by not transferring it to his account at that time, and the...

Do you have the contact information on the seller?
If so, call the cops. Tell them the guy sold you stolen merchandise. (It IS stolen. It was stolen from Sprint.)
Did you pick the Sprint...

This is my thinking, but it obviously won't stop Sprint from being a d-bag about it. Most companies just don't care because the amount of people that will take it all the way is minimal. Wonder if...

Sprint, unlike GSM carriers, did not allow SIM cards to be swapped between phones. So if Sprint allowed the buyer to activate the phone on the buyer's account, then effectively Sprint blesses the...

huh?
How would that stop the original guy from reporting the phone stolen? It would still get blacklisted.
GSM phones are far easier to deal with since they can easily be unloaded overseas....

How exactly can you protect yourself from this? After the purchase of the device, the original owner has the ability to render the phone obsolete by simply reporting it lost or stolen even if you...

Too late, but you should have activated it IMMEDIATELY when it was clear, and left it activated for a month or two. That way the device is tied to your account and Sprint cannot de-activated or do...

Craigslist for big ticket used items is a nightmare. I would even hesitate to buy brand new, sealed, items.

Your phone is worthless in America. Don't buy from private sellers on Craigslist

Would Sprint say how much is outstanding? I would guess it's privacy issue but I was wondering if they'd accept a token payment like when some providers accept 'cost' for fraudulent billing charges.

only real choice is to send the phone to an overseas relative or sell on ebay to somebody that will export it.
sorry tough luck.
