Verizon Unlimited Data Scam?

Does this sound fishy or does anyone know any truth to this?
Thought I would check eBay for some unlimited data plans and I found some.
I eBay searched "Verizon unlimited data"
A couple sellers are selling current contracts and claiming that they will somehow put them in your name. Is this possible? Maybe they work in tech support?
One other seller is claiming that their company is the only one in the US that can add a "VIP data plan" to new or existing customers.
Any knowledge or feedback is appreciated. Check out the auctions and see what u think. FYI I am a new VZ customer still in the cancellation period.

It is possible to transfer a name to another person's account. Its called an AOL (Assumption of Liability). However, ever if the person's account you are transferring to is in good standing, I'm pretty sure you'll still need to pass a credit check to be eligible to take it over.
AOLs are pretty popular due to some people wanting to get out of their wireless contract without paying the ETF by giving it to someone else. And others will be happy to take them over due to having grandfathered features no longer offered to brand new accounts such as unlimited data with Verizon Wireless.

Thanks Nerdydesi. Ant thoughts on the second option?

I added unlimited data through the mobile hotspot loophole I joined Verizon last month

If they haven't already done so, it will definitely get reverted.

How to get Verizon Unlimited Data without going through loop holes
There's a better route!
Email this guy verizon.unlimited.data @ gmail.com
ask him about a VIP Pass which will get you unlimited data
He's hooked up several people on XDA with Unlimited Data and he's legit!

Thinking about getting one
BigMiggen did you buy it yet? I also contacted this guy on Ebay about the unlimited data plan, no answer as of yet.

No not yet. I got the double data at 4 gigs and want to see how much I'm actually gonna use first. Watching Netflix looks like the only way to go over for me. I might email that guy and see how much he wants.

Anyone try this? I'm grandfathered on two lines but might come in handy to add a 3rd. Now if he could hook me up on an unlimited data only plan for a xyboard 8.2 I would have his babies lol.

Just sent an e-mail his way, keeping my fingers crossed. 4G LTE does not deserve to be limited!!! Coming from ATT unlimited, I'm starting to miss it. As much trouble as they gave me.

By the way, went into a Verizon Wireless store today and attempted to get the rumored unlimited tether plan (even though I'm not grandfathered) from a rep who said it would work - they attempted to add said plan and continued to receive an error. After calling into Verizon Customer Care, the rep on the line confirmed it's been disabled. So even if you are able to fool some rep, if they attempt to put it in, their system will throw an error.

I emailed him 10 days ago. No reply.

Did you ever get a reply from that guy?

a guy on xda a few months ago claimed the whole vip thing too via pm

Okay I found out how to get the unlimeted everything for $99 a month. I will make a new post on how to do this once I get my first bill. It works for new and existing customers. Existing customers can early upgrade without penalty as well.
The company has a business plan they put you on and bill you directly. I will update and put a link to the new post once I get my first bill from them to make sure it's legit. Although I am typing this on my new s3 they sent me for $150.

Does the $25 credit expire?

As title states.... does it expire?
I only ask because im being picky about what i spend it on.....but don't want to lose it.
Thanks.

Assuming it acts like all other play store credit, it shouldn't. I seen no reason why it would.

Sprint verifying discounts!

Well after probably 3 years of getting a 23% discount from my previous employer sprint is now asking for employment verification. So the one thing that was keeping on sprint will now be lost on Sept 26th. Looks like it's time to make the switch to Verizon. Anyone else get the message asking for verification or is it just something they do after x amount of time?

Not yet. Been on employment discount for about 1.5 years...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I have been getting it for about 3 years and no questions yet

I got a message on the website that I assume is about that but it was very cryptic.
Your Sprint service discount requires proof of eligibility, which you may be asked to provide to continue participation in the program.

I assume it is talking about the employee discount. Where did you see a date mentioned?

I got a text message telling me to go to www.sprint.com/verify. On that site lists the date.

This is something that they do randomly. They have always done it in one fashion or other. I had to do it a couple years ago, and they just called me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

I got the text yesterday, and gave them my e-mail, but I still have yet to receive that e-mail on my work address.

Yeah, for the first 10yrs i had sprint, I was on a retail employee plan ($15 a month) even though i hadn't always worked in retail. they called me twice in that 10yrs asking about if i was still working for xxxx and that there were "better" plan options now etc. With t-mobile going back to truly unlimited data, i may be switching....

I got it too yesterday and have had the discount 2 years (didn't know about it earlier as I had a military discount until then).

On another forum, a Sprint CSR is advising you only need to re-verify when you *upgrade your phone.*
Sprint inadvertently sent out the text to everyone. I just got another text today:
"We unintentionally sent you an SMS message yesterday regarding your Sprint discount. Please disregard. No action is needed."

Got another text today indicating yesterday's text was an error and no further action was needed.

I got one as well. A message when I login to Sprint and then I got a text a few days ago. However I am legit so I can verify my discount :laugh:

So like... you're complaining and want to switch carriers because for three years you've been getting a discount for a company you haven't even still been employed with, and Sprint wants verification rather than just letting you continue to get a discount that hasn't applied in years for you?
Go to Verizon. You deserve to pay more.

That's the thing if I wasn't getting this discount by the time I applied my current employers discount for Verizon I'd be paying less just not unlimited data, which is fine for me because I'm on wifi 70% of the time anyway.

Regardless, you are essentially stealing from Sprint... and whether they know that or not, their profits are hurt by it. I can guarantee that you're not the only one, so while your impact alone may not be much, every thief adds up. Losses like that are always passed on to the customer, so you are slowly but surely hurting the rest of us. Thanks, buddy

Still, you shouldn't feel disappointed, OP, as the price of the Nexus 7 has gone down around 50$ since we early adapters got our hands on one.

Correct me, but i think you get a free movie, a few books and 2 songs for free.. Idk if its still present, but i got them when i bought my 32GB 3g.. ^^

You guys are mixing up the free gift with google wallet and the free gift from nexus 7 purchases.
The gift with google wallet was indeed ten bucks.
The gift with nexus 7 was 25 bucks.
Both have now stopped.

The 10$ credit wasn't linked to the 7, it was for activating Google wallet. So no, there wasn't a 10$ credit with purchase of nexus 7, there was a 25$ credit at one point.

It finished ages ago, but you still got a free film, some books and some magazines. Here in the UK we only got a free film

Which, coincidentally, was explained earlier in the thread. There was never any $10 credit linked to the N7. Rather, it was only for activating the now obsolete Google Wallet prepaid card. The credit for early adopters of the N7 was a $25 Play Store credit, which ended 30 Sep 2012.

Coach Factory Store 50% off sale - Invitation only event

I know this has nothing to do with phones/technology, but I have an invitation only event that I would be more than happy to send you:
50% off the Coach Factory Store Online.
I thought that posting this here would appeal to 2 very different sections of XDA
:laugh:
1 - Those of you who might like to get the wives off your back and a little leverage for that next device you want to purchase
2 - The many Female G33k's XDA members
All I need to send you the invite is your email address.
NOTE: If you signed up with them in the past I will not be able to send you the invite, so please only send me non-registered email addresses
PM me your email and I will get you the invite right away!
Thanks

all 10 invites they will let me do in a day have been sent.
I can do 10 more tomorrow
Sale ends @ noon ET

I will continue to send invites to everyone who asks.
I found out that the invites do take a day or two to show up so you might not get into this sale but you will be on the list for the next one

I have had some people tell me that they have not gotten their invites, and some tell me that it has taken a while.
I contacted the coach support contact and they are trying to tell me it is your email addresses blocking the invite, and I think they are full of it
I would like to see how many of these invites are actually going thru. If you did get yours please post back here and let me know.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I got the invite email that took me to a sign up page. But they didnt let me set a password. After sign up they just say sign up complete, no follow up emails. And if you try to sign up again through your email then it just says the invite has already been used.
I am guessing they let you invite people to register but they only approve a few? Its sketchy.

I know that it took me awhile since I got my invite to get the actual email to get into the sale be patient it will come
Once I got the first link I got a new one every few days! :thumbup:

There is no current coupon. The deals last about 3 days and then the next one starts a few days later.
The prices in the outlet store are up to 50% off and more and depending on the current selection are very cheap, and safer then buying online and taking a chance at getting a knockoff.
I have no control over who gets or when they get the invite, all I can do is add you to the list.
The only way to get access is to be invited, and someone invited me so i thought i would pass it on to others. If you find a great deal and make a purchase I do get a credit. I get nothing for inviting. Once you get your invite you can do the same thing..
If anyone feels deceived or I have broken an XDA rule I encourage you to ask the mods to close the the thread with my apologies.
