I unlocked my parents ATT Samsung J3 or whatever. I went to the website, entered the info, they got an email with the code, entered it in the phone, done. Used it on TMo for a while.
But they bought that cheap phone outright from the beginning, never had a payment plan. So maybe that helped.

So, after I ranted and cussed and then calmed down and did it all over again, I got a nice lady named Gabriella who actually got shit done! Damn it's amazing what someone can do if they try!!
TO add to that, I contacted Straight Talk to get new SIM cards for my phones so we could port over from ATT. "They will arrive in 5-7 business days"... That 3 weeks ago lol. I got some dude to give me a tracking # and according to that, they left Miami, came to Macon, to my local Post Office, Out for Delivery, back to macon, back to local PO, back to macon, back to local PO, back out for delivery.. that was 4 days ago and I haven't checked since b/c I'm just fucking amazed at how shitty stuff has become. I mean damn, I work in the exact same field they do (except in a phone center) and I get my shit right...

I'd stay w ATT if they could justify my paying $185/mo for 2 lines and 12gb when ST is 88/mo for 20gb.
And the 185 is with a 20% discount from work.

we pay ~$80/mo for tmo with a couple gb of LTE each (unlimited slower speeds after that), unlimited minutes/text. Spotify doesn't count against data so I rarely hit it lol

My LS620 died very dead. Market sucks now, but I ordered a used Samsung Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 16GB on eBay.

I can pretty much rebuild a phone. I don't think that pos worth it but I can. im guessing it has removable battery. never looked at one.

Yes, I replaced the battery with each of my 6 spare batteries. I also replaced the motherboard, screen/frame, and lower board (contains MEID, mic, speakers, vibrate, and part of the WiFi antenna). Literally no part has been left unreplaced; I have a few spares that I bought for their screens and batteries.
With two of the motherboards, any lower board, any of the screens, and a few of the batteries, I can get it to show signs of life by plugging in power then removing the battery so it shows me the screen with a battery and a question mark. With one of those two motherboards, a couple times I was able to get it to give me a boot security error; that is how it was when I bought it. Somebody hard bricked it. It's a bummer to abandon the platform when I have so many spare batteries and screens but it's time to move on. At least with the S4 batteries and screens should be plentiful and cheap.

Yes, I could get another donor or just the board itself on eBay, but it's time to move on.
