You might be able to get it unlocked and use it with another carrier. What would he gain reporting it stolen though, unless he filed an insurance claim and got another one but who knows.

No the phone is on the blacklist... jailbreaking won't work because it won't change the esm number.best bet is selling it for parts on ebay

my gf works for verizon. this type of shit happens all the time. ppl report their phone stolen and then sell it for market value and turn around and insurance claim for a new one for only $40-$100 and pocket the rest.ppl are broke these days, anything for a buck. sorry bro but he got over!!

Alright so this is the thing. I deal with cell phones and mustang parts on craigslist all day more cell than parts. To your answer the only thing you could do with rhat phone is to go a main center metro pcs store and flash it to get metro service secondly you can also root if you Want. Also when you bought the phone sprint does have a number to which you call and see if its lost or stolen, or you couldve took it to any sprnt store they wouldve done it free!!! But you do get scammers on cl. But next time try to get something brand new in the box like my evo 4g had it with metro but now im back on sprint. [dance] [dance] [dance] [burnout]

Since I have access to skip tracing websites (im a PI) shoot me his # and I will tell you where he lives, will run the plate on his truck and tell you his real name. Then I will people search his ass and retrieve his SSN?. If you want to go that route, let me know.

Same thing happened to my friend. He waited thirty days and took it to Sprint in Vallejo and they activated it. Two other stores told him no. You have to be persistent. Don't give up and take some time to call or go to the right places.
