[fireman2525]

I won this BB 8703e in a poker game and of course it is locked on to telus, there is no-way the loser will tell telus he lost it fair and square, I want to know what my options are reprogramming wise...can I get the ESN# changed to a telus number i already own??? if I sell it how much could I get for it. If you know a reprogramer PM me.

...your "friend" cancels his account (unlikely if he was under contract), you are SOL...even if he reports it lost, the IMEI number will be reported as lost or stolen and blocked on all CDMA carriers in Canada. Also, since it is a CDMA phone versus GSM, unlocking will be REAL problematic (though not impossible) for similar reasons...unlike GSM (where you have a SIM), all of the phone identification information either resides in the network or in the phone itself.

In summary you both are losers...unless he had lost insurance he has to get (and pay for) a new phone...and you will not be able to use his old phone (baring the unforeseen).

On the extremely rare occasions our poker games get to that point, as a group we bail out the loser or force him to cash out. Regardless, we'd never let one of us put up something like that for the pot. I hope this was a stranger you won it from, because that's a pretty shitty friendship, if he's a bud.

How much did he owe? Those are pretty old (no trackball), right?

You'd be better off with the money...you got an obsolete phone you can't use...
