I'm always mystified when I see these phone forums where people are scamming cellular providers by unlocking tethering abilities, returning poorly-flashed roms (bricked phones) to their providers, and counting down the days before they can "lose" their EOL'ed phone and recieve a newer model through insurance-

yet everyone barks up and down about cloning ESNs for a practical and non-malevolent use.

You certainly don't have to tell people how to do it, however for people in the strange boat that Verizon and Sprint customers have to deal with- if done right it is untraceable, and effective, and most importantly -possible-.
