petar 15 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 BAD ESN is always link to particular operator who might have blocked ESN on his network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dj 25 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 cannot be done as is... like petar says blocked ESN from a network cannot be activated on any other network Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petar 15 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 @DJ - i meant- BAD esn cannot be operated on that operator. It may/maynot be activated on other operator-- that is at disceation of the netwrok operator. Because i belive sprint/verizon BAD ESN phones are activated on cricket network in usa. However, i m not an expert in matter- the ones who are may kindly throw some more light.

ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 BAD ESN is network specific... A customer in collections and blocked by the network / a lost or stolen reported handset gets a BAD ESN Tag. The said handsets can be activated on other operators - provided they co-operate. BAD ESN handsets can easily be made to work here in india ... remember the 6700s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petar 15 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 Rite. Its cheap. i m not sure anyone here has the procedure to make it wrk in india. try your luck. also moto Q lacks quite some features of 6700/6800. so its cheap. also ADD custom duty & shipping to india costs to ebay,usa prices. 2 - 3% credit card forex charges-(since u made payment in $).

Dj 25 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 yeah i said it cant be done as is... tweaking will just about make anything work... besides there are better options available with bad esn... u could try to get a 6800 with bad esn and there already are tweaking methods available...

kshah 452 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 Palm treo is surely better than motoQ and also same price. Belive me. I have been using PDAs since many years and palm I found the best. Fast, stable, highly functional and superb battery life. MOTOQ is smart phone edition not PPC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 yeps ... there i go ... seconding everyones comments PPC and Palm might make a better choice - both considering performance and reliablity ... also since we have several users around - internal support groups will make the support system stronger. cheers karki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
