Hey I heard from a friend that he called up tmobile and told them his phone was lost or stolen. He told them he had a Samsung e105 with the insurance but then he bought a Samsung e715 and it got lost or stolen so then they sent me one I was wondering if I could do that or was he lying to me. And when I make the insurance how do they know the phone I have

I wouldn't particulary advise trying to fraud your service provider. They know what phone you were last using with your SIM card via the imei number.
If you do happen to get away with something like that then it is pure luck of the draw, but some company's will come after you for obtaining goods by deception.
Basically it's not a good idea!!

Everytime you make a call with a cell phone the IMEI number is transmitted. They log all these and may even put your IMEI on a blacklist to where it won't work at all.
Every cell phone transmission is recorded and logged in a national system with SIM number, IMEI number, and GPS location.

word, if you pull it off, and get a new cell, dont even think about using your old one, get right of it, sell it, trash it, but no use

It's not T-mobile that is going to send you the phone it's Assurion the insurance provider. There are a few steps to go through and they WILL verify the use of the phone and what brand, make, etc. I think your friend is making it up.
