发帖数: 4298 | 16 Buying a cell phone especially one that's the hottest trend can be very
tricky. Here's why..
Take the phone that is in most demand right now and do a search out of 100
listings you will see that 10% of those have "BAD ESN Numbers". That means
that phone is either stolen or is still tied to someone's account for past
due balances that were never paid and the account is way past due. It also
means that someone had an accout with a Cell Service Carrier decided that
they were not happy with the provider and chose not to pay their bill. Well
by not paying the bill the provider will not let them release that phone
until the account is current. Also you cannot activate "BAD ESN" phone with
another carrier either, again until the account is current. The phone it
will be tied to that account with that past due balance. Cell Phone carriers
have gotten smart over the years as much as some people chose not to
believe. Look at it as a lien on a house, you can't sell or buy a house with
a lien on it until the lien is satisfied.
Unfortunately here is where it gets frustrating; these poeple will actually
go into a privately owned cell phone store and tell the rep that they have
canceled their service and will trade the phone in for another phone with a
different service provider. At this point I think that the Cell Phone Store
Reps should call the current provider of these phones that are being traded
in and ask if this phone is Free & Clear to protect themselves and the
people who in the future will be buying any phones that are traded in, but
sadly most of these reps don't. They take the traded phone and list it on
ebay. But then after finding out that the phone is usless they list in the
listing that YOU are responsible for contacting the provider, give them the
ESN, or HEX ESN that is listed in the listing and ask if the phone is free
and clear. I think that if the rep was willing to accept the traded in phone
at the time they should be responsible enough to check if the phone is free
and clear.
The sad part is these privately owned Cell Phone Stores work on their own
guide lines, they can give the person trading in the phone say a $75.00
trade-in credit towards a new phone with a new service agreement. Then they
will then turn around and sell the phone for double or triple that amount.
Here's an example: Johnny went to Cell Phone Store 123 because he wasn't
happy with his ABC Cell Service or just couldn't plain old afford it. Johnny
already knew that his cell phone service was cut off due to non payment,
rather than pay the past due balance plus any late fees owed he tells the
rep that he canceled his service and wants to trade the phone in for a new
cell phone with a new service provider. Either way the phone doesn't work
and the cell phone store rep figuers he is telling the truth. Unfortunately
this rep has no common sense and goes along with it. Now this rep 's only
concern at the moment is to get the sale and earn credits, he accepts the
phone and gives Johnny $75.00 towards and new phone. Now Johnny is signing
on as a new customer to a new service provider, he now wants an I-Phone
well all new signup customers can get the phone for let's say $200, plus
another $50.00 savings for a 2 year agreement-- now add in Johnny's $75.00
trade in value and Johnny just got a new phone for $75.00 and it just cost
you a lot money and a big head ache, HOW??
Well now you are on Ebay, the phone that Johnny just traded in is the same
model you have been looking for. Let's call it the Elite Pocket PC. Your
service provider is also ABC Cell Service you still have 1 year to go on
your contract and you are not eligible for an upgrade yet. However if you
should chose to buy out right the Elite Pocket PC it will cost you about $
650.00, which you don't have. The Elite Pocket PC that Johnny traded in is
being sold on ebay by the Cell Phone Store rep that accepted it, he now has
it listed for $210.00, that's a big savings from $650.00..don't you think???
. You come across it, you view it, you see it, you get excited and in all
that excitement you forget to read the bottom last line in bold. "Contact
Servcie Provider ABC Cell Service and give them this ESN Number and check if
it is Free & Clear-- Phone is AS-IS it is your responsibility to check the
status of this phone. No Returns AS-IS".
You were so excited that you bought the phone and in your excitment couldn't
read that little bold very important print., the phone arrives 4-5 days
later and you call ABC Cell Service you give them your name and you tell
them that you want to swap the phone. All of the sudden the account rep on
the phone asks you for your name, you give it to them and they tell you that
this is not the name that is registered to the Elite Pcoket PC phone you
just bought for $210.00. WHAT HAPPENED???? First and foremost IT IS NOT YOUR
FAULT . The seller made the phone look so attractive, so easy to achive and
THE SAVINGS OH MY GOD!!! it was just what you were looking for, it was so
good that you couldn't pass up this offer, so good that it took you for a
whirl-whin. AGAIN IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT......Now back to the problem----The
phone is still registered to Johnny and it is locked to Johnny until Johnny
pays up his balance and the account is current--That's what happened....
Here's how it works folks, Cell Phone companies provide you with a service
and through out the years they have caught on to all of the scams and games
out there. Now-a-days your cell phone is the account number, if your account
is not current then that phone will be tied to you until the account is
current and all balances are paid in full.
Yes you can cancel you contract at any time and release the phone however
your account NEEDS TO BE CURRENT. If it is not current the phone will not be
released and you won't be able to sell it, trade it or get rid of it. How
do we avoid this, usually about 95% of the ebay sellers do sell free and
clear phones..let's not get it wrong here, whether they list free and clear
or not. If the seller states "not sure if it is free & clear" chances are it
's not and they are just looking to unload that head ache on someone else,
maybe you.
How do you protect yourself, well first email the seller ask if the phone is
free and clear and ask for the ESN Numbers, call the service provider and
also ask them if the cell phone is clear. Yes it is redundant but you won't
be throwing hundreds of dollars away. You can also go to the Search tab on
top of the screen, next to it there is a little blue link that says Advanced
Search, click it and select member contact. Input the Member's Id and the
Item number. You will then receive an email with the member's phone number
and email address, call them --what's the worst that could happen they ask
you never to call again...but at least you'll be safe.
Finally why do certain sellers do this, because truly they were too dumb to
protect themselves and take the proper initatives, so they feel bad they
figure they will list the phone for a great price and play the I don't know
card and unload it on to someone else that doesn't know enough to protect
themselves. Be smart, some sellers really don't know much about cell phones
and you really shouldn't rely on people that don't know much about what they
are selling, it is up to you to protect yourself!! |
