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

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.

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.

I am not a smart person, but this is my stance on this.
A appelas court aleady ruled that if a company charges for a phone, it becomes the property of the purchasing party and therefore can modify it anyway they want to. If a company gives the phone away free of charge as part of a service, the company retains the possesion of the phone.
So as long as I have to keep paying for my phones, Sprint and Verizon and all the others can KISS MY ASS!

Lmmfao, that's all I gotta say about any of this. You can't copyright how a device is used, only the design of the hard/software rooting is no different than upgrading the os on your PC, someone really needs to go buy a vowel and get an effing clue, whichever dumbass at the copyright office thought this would fly needs to be fired and sent back to 7th grade civics and economics classes to relearn how patents and copyrights work. Next some genius is gonna try to say you can't use your computer for both work and play without some kind of written contract. This will never stick apple already tried and lost and they aren't broke like the government. Apple lost the patent battle for device use and had their entire patents ammended and/or redacted and lost the jailbreak war, once said device is sold 100% ownership of that device is transferred to the purchaser, otherwise no one really owns anything at all so it would never hold water in a court test.

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

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?

Your Sprint service discount requires proof of eligibility, which you may be asked to provide to continue participation in the program.

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
