^^^^^AGREE, why are you charging me more when my plan does everything an everything plan does, minus the unlimited minutes?

IMO, this will create a black market for phones. ESN swaps and clones. I dont want to do anything really illegal (stealing phones), i just want to clone my ESN on one of those newer phones (of course i will buy it) as my TP2. Too bad its illegal to still do so

. BUT i know it has and can be done, and quite frankly i wouldn't mind if someone could do this for me.

There has been a blackmarket for phones for a LONG time...that said cloning ESN is illegal in itself, and possessing a device that has altered ESN is also illegal...even owning software that can clone ESN is again illegal...

And I'd like to remind that discussion of how to clone ESN is not allowed on these forums, public or private.
