So if it randomly reboots or malfunctions will you return it or just keep it as a nice coaster/conversation piece?

For those wondering, I received my red dna from ebay and activated it went to a store and received a sim and had them activate it. Had no issues and works great. So lets please stop telling people they wont work on a customer account.

Also for those selling they can be fired for selling for a profit but Verizon would have to prove they are selling, the employee could easily say they gave it to someone.

giving away would be ok, selling it for profit is not.

Correct, they can be activated by a non employee account, however….

the employee who purchases the phone from verizon agrees not to sell or trade the device, violation of this results in termination.

I’m fairly certain they’re cracking down on this sort of thing now. I was even warned to be wary of selling my non-Verizon Exclusive equipment because it still technically violated policy because I got it on a 1-year contract.

Not sure how serious they are about tracking non-exclusive ESNs, but everything I’ve heard says that they keep an eye on the exclusives. Tread carefully.

Yup. They’re gonna regret selling those. Its also seen as direct competition with VZW to sell employee equipment.

That is uglier than a veggie burger.

Now if they did the white version.. I might be tempted.

I agree with that, but the people at the top of this post like butters are saying they wont work on customer accounts, I disagree. I have a friend who works for Verizon and this is how it worked for us in the past.

That’s a good point as I’m sure they know Verizon is tracking these. You can activate them but if you care about your job you wouldnt sell it.

I know, i was one of those people. But this is from a VZW who said he was locked into the phone for 2 years.
