What happens if you don't return a phone to Verizon?

Well, I've had my TP2 for a while now, and I love it, but I've had a problem with dead/stuck pixels like I've mentioned in a few posts. So I called up Verizon, and they sent me a replacement, and temporarily billed me the cost of a new phone until I sent back the old one.

Now, my girlfriend has seen my phone, and she absolutely loves it. She doesn't care about dead pixels, which brings me to my question: What happens if I didn't return my old phone to Verizon, and gave it to her?

I don't want to do anything illegal or against Verizon's TOS, but as I've already been billed for the phone, I was just wondering if this was possible. Any thoughts? My only concern is, since they billed me for the price I paid on contract, would they charge me the full amount ($489) if I didn't return it, or just leave it at that?

When they send you a replacement device you have 10 days to send the defective one back. If they dont receive it, the will charge the account the full retail price. So you would end up paying for 2 phones.

they would charge you the full amount, your better off buying a new one at full price then you get acessories and everything it comes with

Thanks for clearing it up, I'll just send back the phone then.

I'll just see if she still wants to pay for one at full price, and with all the accessories.

Well, she actually travels to China frequently, so she'd actually make use of those.

Be a sport, get your girlfriend a new phone without dead pixels. If it isn't good enough for you it shouldn't be good enough for her.
