Ok, I'm wondering, my brother wants my 8320 and I have an insurance with Tmobile. Now, what if I tell Tmo that I lost my 8320, I will pay the $110 deductible, give my old 8320 to my brother and keep the new one. Will this work? Anybody tried it? Thanks

After the scams going on why would you want to be the scammer? Be honest, it will pay off!!!

Good idea, I never want to do this. It's him who keeps insisting.

Sounds like insurance fraud to me.

Definitely a case pf potential insurance fraud. Do not do it

Insurace fraud, yes, how ever you've got to remember as soon as your report your phone lost/stolen, they will block the imei number from being used on any network.

Jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if you decide to do it, I would not be discussing on an OPEN PUBLIC forum.

The other problem, besides dishonesty/fraud, is that your brother will be carrying around a stolen phone. If T-Mobile recognizes the original BB as stolen they can shut down the account and/or disable the BB permanently. RIM deactivates the PIN and the device will never be more than a phone/sms device, no data services. They're not completely stupid at T-Mobile. If they notice somebody with the same last name as you using your "stolen" device things could get interesting real fast, for both of you.
