By the way, there's no way a guy could get caught for this unless you were dumb enough to actually "clone" an existing activated cell phone. AND, there's even LESS of a chance that if you WERE caught that you'd actually get in trouble for that. There's no way to prove that you're the one that changed the ESN. Cloning is only illegal when done to steal another person's ESN to rack up charges on their bill. In this instance, while still technically a no no as far as the communications company is concerned, I used to be a police officer, and can't think of any law you're actually breaking by tampering with your own cell phone's ESN. It's not like you're getting free phone service, you're still paying a bill, and a hefty one at that. All you're doing is saving a few bucks a month on data, and even at that you're still paying for it. It's not a criminal act guys, more of a civil infraction, and at any rate, it's not one you're likely to get caught at, and as I said, if you did, it's not one that it could be proven you committed. Ramifications, consequences, blah blah blah...
