Re: Is it a good idea to buy unlocked phone from eBay to avoid mandatory data plan?
I think only the Verizon TP2 will work on Verizon. Trying to get another CDMA phone to work on Verizon is going to be a pain messing with the radio. (GSM phones will 100% not work on Verizon, so you can forget about AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. TPs working). There is no such thing as an unlocked Verizon TP2 in the same sense you can get an unlocked GSM phone. In order to use a phone on Verizon you need to have a phone with CDMA.
You should look at the specific requirements of Verizon plans. You should call Verizon to check to see whether all PDAs need the extra data plan as opposed to Verizon only giving you that $200 price for getting the $30 addon. Because if it is the former, even if you get a Verizon TP off ebay you still have to pay for the addon.
