Looking for T-mobile phones
I am looking for import or domestic distributers of cellphones either t-mobile locked or unlocked. Any authorized agents have some leads? I am in the process of starting up a local MVNO for WV and KY and I will be running off T-Mobile system. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J

Did you know that if a dealer sells you a phone they bought from their master dealer, they would be in violation of their agreement and could be canceled?

That is why I am looking for a info from agents that use distributors, not ones that get stock from master dealers.

Before I start.... If you are starting an MVNO... why can't you buy TMo phones from Tmo?
As far as being an indirect Tmo indirect delaer...if you go through KCI, QDI, etc as your master dealer...... KCI and QDI (master dealers) are as you call it "distribitors" to the indirects. Infact Tmo frowns upon ANY indirects getting phones from anyone other source than their master dealers. Now indirects can be Tmo exclusive and get phones from Tmo, but Tmo has the same policies regarding selling thier phones for reason other than activation. (In any quanity anyway.)
Any dealer that buys Tmo branded phones from "dristributors" that aren't master dealers or T-mo themselves better watch out.... because 99 times out of a 100 they are prepaid phon...

Without giving away the details of my opperation, basically I am going through a reseller of T-mo minutes and I have to supply my own stock. So no worries of T-mo getting involved in my purchases and activations.

Tmo won't get involved in your purchases....the will bust who is selling to you if they are dealers themselves. Thus is the reason you are looking for "cheaper" phones.... Your reseller of minutes is charging you for the phones and you are just trying to find them cheaper.... But all Tmo phones originate from one of three branches, all of which will get either the dealer in trouble, or you, or a combination of both....except one
1) Walmart prepaid phones... or another stores prepaid phones (all of which are tracked)
2) Master dealers who sell to indirects (which are tracked)
3) Tmo directly
So just do things the correct way.. or you won't be in business long.... Trust me... I have seen quite a few indirects get canned.
