Couple questions, so the $50 standard phone plan, so I can purchase a $19 phone and use the esn? Also, should I be able to do the same with my incredible 2?

Yep, sure can, when you put meid from Verizon Prepaid phone onto Inc 2, and then *228 you will be fully working until Verizon catches on.......

ESN swapping is illegal and comes with 10 years of prison and $100,000 fine.
So I'm sure mods should close/ delete this thread.

I don't see anything wrong as long as you own the phone that you got the esn from. What's the law number regarding this, and what country.

I did some research. http://cdmagurus.com/forum-essentials/free-all/2466-esn-cloning-illegal-5.html
Around page 5 you get an answer.
You must be attempting to defraud or gain fraudulent service.
Buying prepaid time, and only using the phone you flash to would not be stealing or gaining fraudulent service.

so does it seem right for verizon to charge outrageous price when you can get it half the price? yes i know this could help people who steel phones, but doesnt metro pcs and cricket do too? they dont give a damn about the phones history. this guide was intend for good purpouses. no one here asked you if you were gonna do it or not. so please, stop acting like you are a mod. thank you
So would it be possible to setup a Android phone on a standard account with a limited data plan. My wife is almost always in a wifi area. Right now she has a standard phone and a Droid that she uses as a mini tablet. She does not need data when she is away from wifi just a phone.

There are rumors of people in miami getting 3G on their phones. Can someone possibly confirm this? I called Metro directly and found out that there are at least 5 other cities running on 3G.
Sent from my SCH-R720 Rooted using xda premium
I was reading another board where folks in Orlando were getting 3g Also read someone in Tampa getting it I upgraded the .prl to 3022 but no luck so far
Moved..............
I also swapped to prl 3022 but nothing happened. I'm so pissed that we don't have 3G in thia area of Florida (Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples), you know, I just got the crazy idea of making an online protest against MetroPCS. We should gather a bunch of people from different areas of Florida that do not have 3G coverage and plan on doing something like that. Maybe when we have 1000 people protesting for the same thing and threatening to leave MetroPCS then they'll do something about it. Again just a thought.

What people fail to realize is if 3g is everywhere your bill will go up and you will have a data cap to cover overages and you will end up with a at&t or Verizon situation the reason why metro is so cheap is because there isn't a 3g if you really want speed upgrade to a 4g phone otherwise be patient until they figure out how much data is being used in major cities and if it's worth the extra costs

It will get better. Now MetroPCS has the LG Esteem 4g it is on their site now so soon they should have to upgrade the system to handle usage. I pay 50 a month with metropcs and i still like it better then the contract companies. Also i read today that sprint is no longer doing one year contracts more folks to metro? never know
Metro is a headache to deal with if you have billing issues, but they're cheap and there's no commitment. That's always nice, but it cuts both ways. They can jack up your price whenever they want.
Contracts aren't solely beneficial to the provider. Sometimes they actually help the customer--I'm on contract for 2 years, for two lines, 1000 shared minutes, unlimited SMS/nights/weekends and 2GB data per device for $100.
It's cheaper than what we were paying for two individual Even More Plus plans (though we did lose 3GB of data). And T-Mobile can't change the price without breaking the contract.
My girlfriend has metro and we live in a city with 3g service. It's super spotty. Even in their most well covered areas, she usually still only gets 1x.
Hate to say it but grandfathered unlimited plans are going bye bye.
That is if you update your line. You can keep it as long as you don't update you cell line.
But when you upgrade to you next phone you'll lose your unlimited plan and you can either get 2GB for $25 or since we have unlimited data now we can get 4GB for $30....
Damn you AT&T.
Update: You get to keep it. Some AT&T rep didn't know what she was talking about.

Good point. I was so pissed. I'm going to call back tomorrow and talk to a different person. They better be right.
I have a US Naval Federal Account so they can't remove or modify anything without talking to my IT guy.
I'm a sales rep at At&t this is not true...and mostly incorrect word of mouth. Nothing down the pipeline of csr info and simulations of anything close to explaining away a unlimited data not being available to existing customers a BB and iPhone and a messaging phone I did yesterday alone all had the unlimited data two up another equip change so. No when your told something remotely like this situation explained, that is when you hang up and call again. Though any New Lines on existing plans or straight new can not get unlimited data minus other referred methods available via search.

Sorry.
NOW. This thread needs to be deleted.
Ok so I had an Evo I was excited with the 4G I liked it for a while, but then after a 1 1/2 years the thing started to flake out. Well with my phone flaking out, and very limited 4G coverage I made the switch to Verizon. With one problem, what about unlimited data? I had to have unlimited data. So this is how I got unlimited data! Which wasn't being offered anymore.
Well thanks to XDA I found a super sweet hook up. This guy named VIP Nick got me Unlimited Data on my Verizon account for $30 a month, even though it's not offered anymore! He's one of very few in the country that can hookup accounts with unlimited data. Because he mainly works with Business accounts, and VIP accounts. Though he'll work with individual and family plan accounts too. Which I like because Verizon has a lot better 4G Coverage!
So I thought I'd spread the word to the XDA community if your looking to make the switch and want a new phone and get Unlimited Data email him at

I am Very Happy Now!

This looks a little fake, I don't trust this guy
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?

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.

How would using more data help? All it does is further justify their "alleged" claims that data congestion affects everyone. If you want to make a difference, leave Verizon. Pay the ETF and switch to pre-paid.

How soon will it be before I can leave without ETF? I'm thinking of leaving them anyway.
They are not doing this intill you "upgrade" so no geting out of ETF with this.
