I asked thia question to a verizon account manager and he said to get a new sim card and it'll work. Try it out.

Yes, the fact that it's blacklisted simply means that Verizon's database shows it as not being able to be activated. This has no effect on the phones usability on another carrier.

Keep in mind att uses gsm radio and Verizon uses CDMA.
You may run into trouble.
However I believe the Verizon note 2 is a works phone?
Who knows exactly what that means for you.
God bless the American people.
Figures someone who uses barrack Obama as name wouldn't be any help how fitting. The note II has gsm and cdma radios. It's unlocked from the factory so you can throw a t-mobile, AT&T, straight talk ect and it'll work fine. The note supports 1900mhz frequency which is the refarned hspa42 for t-mobile and 3g hspa for at&t

I buy/sell/trade phones and I've run into a couple bad esn phones (no I don't buy them, shady people report them stolen). I actually picked up a Note 2 several months ago. I checked the esn over 611, came back clean, brought it home several hours later to put it on my wife's line. We popped her sim in, it activated, then almost immediately deactivated. After hours on the phone with Verizon they said the seller reported it and there was nothing I could do. We got her a new sim card and reactivated her S3. As I considered my options, the next day I called Verizon and checked the ESN again. The lady said it was clean. I didn't understand and took it to the store to ask a rep. It was explained to me that when a IMEI is blacklisted, it "burns" the sim card you put in it. Since we are in no way faulted on our plan, we were given a new sim card. The rep explained that the phone is blacklisted against that one sim card. So if I put my new sim in, it is now linked to my (clean) account.
Long story short - if you pop in a sim card, it will get zapped. If you get a new one and try again, it SHOULD work fine on Verizon.
I hold no responsibility to what you do or how accurate that info is. It worked for me and was approved by a Verizon rep. Try it or don't.

And "yes", it will work on AT&T if you add APN's. No LTE though. Only AT&T's 4G (kinda like 3G+) and lower.

If a seller reports a phone stolen, they can sell the phone and collect the cash, then turn it into insurance and get a new phone.
They don't care about you actually still being able to use the phone or not, only that they get free money and a new phone.
I bought my Note 2 off of Craigslist in November I checked the number with Verizon. I was told everything was good to go. About two weeks ago I got a call from the Sheriff's office letting me know that I was in possession of a phone that had been stolen directly from one of their stores. I had put my own SIM card in so I never had any issues.

I would assume that you could, Just because Verizon has put the ban hammer down on the phone doesn't necessarily mean that other carriers would also. I guess the best way to know is to give it a shot.

I had a similar issue with a S3 when they first came out. I traded a Razr Maxx for it. I used it for a while until I found a blue one, so I gave it (white) to my wife. About 3 months later I got a call from an investigative department of Verizon. I explained the situation and they allowed me to keep the S3 (unblacklisted) for cooperating with them. I gave them all the info of the person I got it from. That guy called me a week later to warn me that Verizon may be calling, lol. Turns out the person be bought it from had stolen several of these off a Fed Ex truck before they reached the store.

I have searched the internet high and low, but I guess not well enough because I can't find the Gear S anywhere on the T-mobile site or any site for that matter, Refurbished or New. Is there a reason? Im guessing I should just call T-Mobile and ask where I can buy.. Why is it so hard to find? Obviously its almost 2 years old and yes the new S2 watch came out, but there are absolutely NO options to purchase at all on the T-Mobile Website, with the exception of a t-mobile page that comes up in a google search saying "buy now" with a picture of the Gear S, but when you click on the Buy Now button, it redirects you to another page. Are they just hard to come by?

The Canadian version from telus should be fine on the tmobile network as their phones are the closest to ours.

I bought an AT&T at a very good price off Ebay, and have been using it on T-Mobile without a problem. I have used with a SIM as a stand-alone phone, and without a SIM as a remote control for my Samsung phone. Most of the time I will use it without the SIM.
Yea, I went on swappa and there was nothing. I ended up finding a pretty nice one on Ebay. I went into tmobile and they said no stores will carry it anymore because it's discontinued.
I got an Gear S over the weekend from Rakuten. It is new, open box, for AT&T, but is unlocked. I am using it with a Tmobile prepaid sim for calls only and it works fine. I don't have data, but I do get the 4g signal indicator.

I've seen a few threads updating information on the recall. I haven't seen this crucial link posted yet so I'm hoping this post isn't redundant.
It's very simple. Please go to this website and enter your IMEI number. This will immediately inform you of whether your phone is part of the recall or not. If it is, I suggest taking part in the exchange. If not, then it's up to you. Good luck.

Hey all.
I used the Samsung imei and serial number checker on their website made for the US. I'm based in the UK with a sim-free Coral Blue Note 7.
My replacement (Received Sept 12th) device showed - Not from the affected batch when entering both the IMEI and Serial number. (Good News)
My First Device - Showed *affected* when just the serial number was entered. It showed *not from the affected batch** when using the IMEI number only. Interesting results.
I guess our UK devices do now work on their website. I hope this info helps in some shape or form.
"Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 IMEI tool is now live to tell you if a Note 7 is explosive"
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...ote7-imei-tool-now-live-tell-note7-explosive/
The one that I returned ended up being affected.
All that where sold before they announced the recall will show up affected, it doesn't mean the phone will have a problem. Of course everyone should change it regardless....
Mine came up "affected" but i haven't had any issues and i watch it like crazy
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using Tapatalk
It says in the article that this IMEI tool is for future purposes. An example would be buying a used Note7 off of Ebay or something. You won't know for certain if you are buying a "first gen" Note7 or a "2nd gen" one unless you use this tool.
So as of this very post, every single one of us who use this check tool will have affected phones. The tool is currently useless until the fixed phones come out and the population begins to mix with a few stragglers of the old version.
Edit: Only phones currently not affected are the Chinese phones btw.

I called my local Sprint store today, and they had them in stock. Yes, wrong forum, I know, but I've been closely following all the carriers. I'm just glad to have this thing over with. I'd call your local stores tomorrow to see if they got them, though. Doesn't seem like Sprint would be alone in receiving them.

Great to hear. I will do that in the morning for sure
I read a post about this and took the advise and messaged T Force via Twitter. They told me in a matter of mins that my handset was already unlocked even though the unlock app states otherwise.
Unkown to them , I have a few foreign SIM cards, inserted one and I got the SP lock message.
Anyone know how to unlock a TMO Note 8 that was purchased from Samsung direct, need a solid answer and not hearsay.

Contact T-Mobile Help on Twitter. Have your receipt and IMEI ready.
The problem is when Samsung sells phones on their own the IMEI is not given to the carrier and it's not in the system. Since T-Mobile doesn't know the phone this is what happens.
They should be able to contact Samsung and verify it with your receipt and then they'll input the IMEI in the system and get the ball rolling.

I received my TMO N8 direct from Samsung and paid in full. I moved my sim card from my S7E into the N8 and everything worked fine. On my TMO account it shows the N8 as the phone on my line, but when I hit the link to check the unlock status, I get a response This device is not in our system.. Twice I called TMO to make sure they had the IMEI number for the phone. Same result when I check unlock status. I called TMO a third time for unlock status. This time I was told that since I purchased the phone from Samsung I would have to get the unlock code from Samsung. I then called Samsung and was told that the TMO rep was not correct and I would have to contact TMO again. I called back TMO and explained this tale of woe. This time the rep said I should have the unlock code within 72 hours. That was two days ago and I am still waiting. and getting the same message, This device is not in our system.
This has been the worst experience I have had with TMO in the many years I have had my plan with them.
T-Mobile IS correct. They don't have the IMEI in their system because Samsung NEVER gave it to them. This has been a problem for a long while now. Apple does the same crap too. If they sold devices and passed on the IMEI then this would fix the problem. Carriers want to verify it's theirs and it isn't stolen or belongs to some other carrier. Only Samsung can validate that and Samsung CS doesn't know the difference between a SIM unlock and a bootloader unlock.
Just do what I said earlier. Talk to T-Mobile Help on Twitter and send the receipt and IMEI and they should be able to contact the right department for Samsung to validate your purchase and then they'll put the IMEI into the system and then viola you can unlock.

Most people it seems went for a carrier phone to get it sooner, the unlocked ones are on back order. The funny thing is the tmob phones have an unlock app pre installed, you wait 40 to 70 hours on the network and then just click two buttons and it's unlocked.

I totally agree, the phone should be unlocked before send out or unlock code should be send with the phone and they do that in Canada. What they doing now should be illegal but apparently we don't have good consumer protection.
I love t-mobile and their support is great, but unlocking T-mo branded phone bought direct from Samsung is freaking nightmare and it amazes me how their support and tech people have no clue about their SIM locks, yes I was also told my phone comes unlocked from factory and it just happens that I have 2 phones like that and I travel abroad, so need this garbage resolved. It is my last carrier branded Qualcom phone, that's for sure.

You wait a few days and click two or three buttons on the phone itself without human interaction to unlock it. It's not what I call a nightmare.

Are they shipping out right now? With the S8 they had preorders for it but they didn't ship out until well after the carrier versions were in stores. I don't keep up with the unlocked simply because always had to wait a while and not all carrier features worked.

Yah they are already in stores and about a month after than the unlocks ship out. So roughly 2 months total time. Just some people don't like to wait, want carrier specific features unlock doesn't have, or Need a device to get away from a device. I fit in the last 2.
