Description

The listing, SAMSUNG EPIC 4G SMART PHONE *MINT* ORIGINAL BOX + LOTS OF EXTRAS (SPRINT) RETURNS has ended.

Samsung Epic 4G Smart Phone on the SPRINT Network. It can be flashed to one of the Straight Talk networks. It can also be unlocked and used on any network, but I have no idea how this works : )

It has a slide out keyboard for easy texting and comes with a 1GB Micro SD card. The charger port DOES NOT work but is covered with a slide that closes, which is pretty nice; HOWEVER the phone comes with an EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER, which plugs into any wall outlet, and THREE BATTERIES:

* TWO 1500 mAh Samsung batteries
* Brand New 3500mAh Samsung Extended Battery and Back Cover

In addition the phone comes with 2 cases:
* Red Rubberized Hard-shell Case
* London Blue Rubberized Hard-shell Case

Questions & Comments

I just did some checking online and read that the phone could be flashed but that it could not be unlocked to be used with another carrier. Can you tell me what your source of information was that indicated this phone could be unlocked? Thank you

May 26th, 2014 at 7:27:26 AM PDT by

I can not possibly thank you enough for asking this! I am very seriously still trying to recover from my over 2hr conversation with Sprint. You are exactly correct. I got the information from reading every other auction in which this exact same phone was listed.

Had you not asked then someone may have won this believing it can be unlocked when in fact it can not. It can, however, be flashed and used as a Straight Talk phone on some networks. I posted a link in an earlier comment addressing this.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I found in trying to get my phone number off the phone, which took an hour, some idiot at Sprint had listed my phone as lost or stolen! I completely lost it with them, quite literally going so far off the rails you don't even want to know! It's a long story but suffice it to say, they're letting me out of my contract penalty free and I just upgraded to the S5, if that tells you anything. It took over an hour and I had to deactivate a phone on my account so they could activate this one in order to remove it from the lost or stolen list, all the while making me hold with that blaring music.

I owe you a huge debt of gratitude, because if you had not asked I would have never called to find out or ask how to remove my number from showing on the phone; and when the winner tried to activate the phone I would have looked like a liar, but more importantly the person wouldn't have been able to activate it, causing a s-storm! I'm so (the p word) at Sprint! Thank you so much!

May 26th, 2014 at 7:57:19 PM PDT by

I love this auction and I especially LOVE how you have handled and researched all of the questions/comments that have been made! Kudos to you!!! Fanned, my friend!!

May 22nd, 2014 at 4:18:07 PM PDT by

What a huge compliment! I very much appreciate you taking the time to not only read the comments written, but to also share your very kind and gracious thoughts with me. Definitely fanning you as well : )

Best phone auction I've seen on Listia. Watching

May 16th, 2014 at 7:24:28 PM PDT by

Thank you. Took me a whole lot of time to get everything together before I listed it.I just can't half list an auction!

May 16th, 2014 at 7:41:13 PM PDT by

Um.. Wow. Glad to be of service. I will of course fan you back. I have noticed (prior to posting a comment) that you are very thorough and clear in your descriptions and responses and I appreciate that. :-)

May 27th, 2014 at 11:30:36 AM PDT by

Thank you so much for saying that. I believe being completely honest and there is no way I will sell a phone to anyone who would not be able to use it.

May 27th, 2014 at 1:06:06 PM PDT by

This is hands down the best cell phone auction I've seen on here.

May 17th, 2014 at 4:08:55 PM PDT by

Thank you! That was very kind of you to say.

May 17th, 2014 at 4:22:03 PM PDT by

Not to sound mean or anything, but did you own the phone outright? I am asking because I bought a used phone once and was told I had to pay off the old users past due account before I could have it unlocked for me to use.

May 17th, 2014 at 10:13:36 AM PDT by

What a great question! I certainly would want to know this information if I planned to purchase a used phone, whether it be on Listia, Craigslist or Ebay. I bought this phone brand new using one of my upgrades with Sprint and am the only person who has owned and/or used the phone. Thanks for asking : )

May 17th, 2014 at 11:25:40 AM PDT by

Good luck my friend

May 11th, 2014 at 10:44:49 PM PDT by

Thank you so much!!!

May 11th, 2014 at 10:49:14 PM PDT by

I had this phone and loved it. Nice auction. F&W check out my auctions if you like. Good luck!

May 18th, 2014 at 2:38:24 PM PDT by

So glad you said that! Thought I would go crazy when I switched to a touch screen! Definitely recommend SwiftKey3 keyboard from the app store. Will definitely check out your auctions and will fan you as well. Thank you 8 )

May 18th, 2014 at 2:50:26 PM PDT by

I just got off the phone with a very well informed CSR from Sprint. This phone will work on their 3G network and any other networks when roaming, however it is not 4G LTE capable. I appreciate your question as I was able to learn crucial factors regarding 3G, 4G, 4G LTE and (Sprint Spark) affecting all network providers including Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T. The vast majority have no clue because it is by design, and it's called CORPORATE GREED.

May 19th, 2014 at 12:25:36 PM PDT by

I have a phone just like this. Upgraded to a MotoX. I REALLY miss the keyboard! Already a fan and watching closely!

May 17th, 2014 at 3:13:51 PM PDT by

Thank you so much! The keyboard was the best part = )

May 17th, 2014 at 3:15:25 PM PDT by

So great to see this auction back and better than ever. I had some GIN wins so I can actually bid this time! :-)

May 20th, 2014 at 4:55:23 AM PDT by

That's great! Thank you so much for w@tching = )

May 20th, 2014 at 12:43:53 PM PDT by

nice ph fanned an watching please fan back

May 14th, 2014 at 7:18:42 AM PDT by

Thanks, and I definitely will!

May 14th, 2014 at 7:48:09 AM PDT by

Awesome auction Fanned & Watching! If you have time please fan me back and check out my auctions thanks!

May 13th, 2014 at 4:59:45 PM PDT by

Thank you! I will definitely check out your auctions and fan back = )

May 13th, 2014 at 8:51:40 PM PDT by

I know you have to pay quite a few points for the long auctions ---I was going to do one ----one time and I was like heck no ----too many points

May 13th, 2014 at 5:28:27 AM PDT by

No kidding! The way it reads is also confusing. It's as if you sign up and aren't charged the 750 credits until the beginning of the next month. So not the case. They prorate for the current month and I couldn't tell you what kind of math they use!

May 13th, 2014 at 11:10:33 AM PDT by

Watcher #85!! This is an awesome auction!

May 20th, 2014 at 12:54:58 PM PDT by

THANK YOU! I so want to reach 100 for the first time :-)

May 20th, 2014 at 12:58:48 PM PDT by

Hello ok I tried to read through and understand but I think I could use a little help. Lol. Ok I read the charge port was broke but i think I also read u have charger that can charge a battery outside phone that way the battery can be charged and placed in phone? Is that right?

May 19th, 2014 at 8:54:49 PM PDT by

Yes, that is correct and it plugs into any wall outlet. It is also pictured in one of the photos as well. The phone comes with 2 Samsung 1500mAh batteries and a brand new never been used Samsung 3500mAh extended battery and back cover. When using the external battery charger there are 2 Gold prongs that must be aligned with the gold things on the batteries. I always needed to lift the first one up a little with my fingernail before sliding the battery in to charge it. It has an LED indicator, which shows solid red if it's not aligned correctly with the battery. I believe it blinks Red until charged and then turns Green when fully charged. This will charge the extended battery as well and the battery made for the Samsung Galaxy S2. You can buy a Samsung 1800aMh battery (one in the S2) for under $4.00 not including S&H. If you want the website info, let me know. I was shocked to see it for that price given it was a Samsung battery.

does it use sim card?

May 22nd, 2014 at 11:23:23 PM PDT by

No, it only has a slot for the Mini SD card. If you're wondering about a Straight Talk service, the only thing I've been able to decipher in trying to learn more is that the phone can be "flashed" - Wait, I'll Google it now. Found a very informative article on an XDA forum and there is no possible way for me to explain it here, but this is the link:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265555

Good luck, and I hope this helps : )

May 22nd, 2014 at 11:33:28 PM PDT by

is 21 days the longest time , listia will accept ? can i make a 300 days auction ?

May 12th, 2014 at 5:13:07 PM PDT by

Are you being a SA or asking a really question?

May 12th, 2014 at 5:39:16 PM PDT by

Does this a 4G LTE? Sprint has converted all of its towers, in my area to LTE, so anything older will not respond

May 19th, 2014 at 8:37:50 AM PDT by

I have been reading everything I possibility can online to answer your question and I can't seem to find a clear cut answer; however, I believe in honesty and I don't believe this phone is LTE capable. You may certainly call Sprint and ask them specifically (800-211-4727) but don't be surprised if you are provided with misinformation. I have found the CSR's at Sprint to be very kind and helpful and the only reason I have not switched providers; but for the most part they are not properly trained. I can not begin to tell you the number of times I've been given incorrect information regarding the a specific problem.

May 19th, 2014 at 10:54:06 AM PDT by

You can ask the particular network if you Samsung Galaxy Epic will work on their network and they will be able to tell you. This much I do know. Also if you read the comments I included a link to an article that I believe will addresse your question.

May 27th, 2014 at 12:59:05 PM PDT by

Woo Hoo! You are going to get you 100k badge too! I am so jealous, I don't have that one yet! :-)

Jun 1st, 2014 at 5:14:07 PM PDT by

You are so great April! You'll get one because I know there's something in your house you want to get rid of that a lot of people want. So, what is it??? Do tell!

Jun 1st, 2014 at 6:22:21 PM PDT by

So excited to watch

Jun 1st, 2014 at 3:04:26 PM PDT by

This is exciting! I'm so glad you think so also = )

Jun 1st, 2014 at 4:10:25 PM PDT by

Your auction just went through the roof man! Congrats. I noticed you had 150 people watching. Too bad Listia won't give you the badge if 150 aren't watching when it ends. Have to say you earned it because you did stuff other people wouldn't do when people asked a question. I've learned alot from reading your comments.

Jun 1st, 2014 at 2:13:30 PM PDT by

That is so nice of you to say. Thank you!

Jun 1st, 2014 at 4:12:21 PM PDT by

Can you give me meid # so I can check if I can use this. Or can you try for me on my site www.barbaraclinton.acndirect.com

Jun 1st, 2014 at 12:26:16 AM PDT by

Thank you for your honestly and detailed replies. None of my research can confirm its either 4g or LTE

May 31st, 2014 at 12:28:43 PM PDT by

You are very welcome. It is not a 4G capable phone. You will only be able to get 3G coverage. Honesty and integrity (along with compassion, kindness, respect and loyalty) are values I believe to be of most importance in this world : )

May 31st, 2014 at 3:01:43 PM PDT by

So glad that this auction is doing well for you. 140 watchers-YAY! Check by my auctions to let my watchers/bidders know they only have 2 days left to bid on this awesome phone! :-)

May 30th, 2014 at 7:58:36 AM PDT by

Hey there = ) Thanks for stopping back by again and for the offer. I will definitely take you up on it. I only need 8 more people to reach 150 - who knew ; )

May 30th, 2014 at 9:33:57 AM PDT by

To the person asking if it is LTE. It is not. It is the first generation 4G. But it will work just fine anywhere on the Sprint network. Just because your area has LTE now doesn't mean this phone will be slower than if your area didn't have LTE. Regarding using this on Straight Talk.... you don't flash the phone to run on Straight Talk. Straight Talk is a MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) and one of the carriers they use is Sprint. They have been offering BYOP (bring your own phone) for awhile for Sprint phones. There are some settings that have to be adjusted in the phone but Straight Talk will give you instructions on how to change those so that the data and MMS works correctly. Just wanted to explain how it works so people won't be scared that that the phone has to be actually flashed (which is not something the average user knows how to do).

May 30th, 2014 at 1:04:58 AM PDT by

I very much appreciate you taking the time to write this. This information is extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

Do you not realize this is not only okay to do, but extraordinarily presumptuous on your part not to mention a few other things I am refraining from saying?

May 29th, 2014 at 9:59:56 PM PDT by

I love keyboard phones

May 29th, 2014 at 2:40:58 AM PDT by

Me too. It took me forever to get used to a touchscreen keyboard. I'm using a stylus now = )
