So you realize that is an older GSM technology that has since been replaced, right? I don't know if any of the carriers in the USA are using the old (or newer) GSM technology, but I know the one that was cracked has since been replaced by a newer technology. And it took over 20 years to crack that older version, so this newer version should be good for a while.

You do realize that CDMA was cracked a LONG time ago, right? People are spoofing ESN's all over the place and stealing CDMA service, listening to calls, etc.

For a family plan with 1500 minutes and unlimited text, and web on Touch Pro 2's it costs $119.99 for the first 2 lines, and $30 for each additional line. And no, you don't pay for each feature seperately. The plan includes unlimited texts and web on the first 2 lines, and adding additional smartphones with unlimited text and web is $30 each.

So nice try man, but you lsted the most expensive T-Mobile plans. Take a look at the Even More Plus plans, and they are cheaper than Sprint across the board, and don't even require a contract.

So I looked again and the "even more plus" plans are similar to sprint however there are several caveats. T-mobiles data rates suck. These packages also do not include unlimited music/tv/live database navigation or the earlier nights and weekends if you have some grandma in ohio that still has a wall mounted bell...

Effectively to get the same thing sprint provides to me which is basically unlimited calling due to free any mobile to mobile... you would have to pick the $139 plan for two phones. (mine is $129) Since they implemented this my actual minutes used out of the 1500 shared allotted has dropped from near 1500minutes to 10-60 minutes a month depending. Great for the near teenager I have to be able to call and talk unlimited BFF handset to BFF handset. (even if that BFF is on t-mobile)

Sprint handsets are $19.99 additional, and I do believe every additional line gets the FULL package benefits.

So in effect its still more expensive the service sucks the customer service sucks. Sprint upgraded 2 of my tp1's to tp2's for FREE! did t-mobile do that?! or say suck it?

I read the story (and read it on another site before that). The story even mentions that it was an older version of the GSM technology that has since been replaced, so that's why it was puzzling that you would post that.

The story mentions that it was the 21 year old and outdated version that got cracked, not the latest version.

Spoofing and ESN and listening in on calls are two completely and totally different things. Not to mention the fact that if someone clones your ESN your account will be flagged and suspended real quick, but even so it would not lead to the ability for someone to listen in on your call. I'm about 95% positive on that, but if you have a source that proves otherwise I'd happily eat my words.

The story says it took 5 months to crack the code of tech thats just now being replaced...Whatever man, i'm just poking you with a stick for the most part since I had to endure your windage.....
