After figuring out what was going on, it took me hours on top of hours to finally get a high level Sprint tech to actually see that the person who bought my phone was downloading items and it was being charged to my account. Guess they were using the phone before actually activating it and it was allowing them to download things on my account.........
Wow, thanks for this. I was going to offer my Tilt 2 for sale as-is with all the mods and purchased software already on it (after I scrubbed my personal stuff off it). There went that idea. I'm curious, though. Is this only a problem for Sprint and non-SIM carriers? Without my AT$T SIM the phone can't access the network as me and charge downloads to my account. And what's an MSL#?
