How to Transfer Plan to Someone Else

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Does anyone know where I can transfer my plan to someone else who might
want a good plan that is no longer available?

I have Americas Choice 400, with 400 anytime minutes, Nation-Wide
Roaming, Unlimited Verizon IN-NETWORK Minutes, and unlimited nights and
weekends starting at 9 PM.

Anyway if theres a site or if anyone knows of any suggestions on how to
do this please let me know. Thanks!

I believe you can transfer financial liability for a plan to another
person. Basically what the OP wants to do. I believe this used
to circumvent the credit check and activation fees.

The ETF is good for 1 year and 7 months to go considering 175 is about 4
and 1/2 months worth.

Hmmm, actually the only reason I'd switch to another company is for a
Sony Ericcson P900/910 but I think I'll just get a Treo 600 instead. I
have to admit I would miss the great signal connection with Verizon and
customer service has been real good to me.

I'll look up some Treo 600 reviews on Usenet. Thanks for info.

Yeah, it's called an assumption of liability form. You can also pick one up
from a VZW store.
