VZW employees selling own phones on Ebay
I'm a VZW employee and have been told by management "don't do it" VZW tracks the esns and it's a fireable offense. Any fellow VZW people selling your old phones (previously activated on your employee acct) on ebay or anyone know of people getting confronted or fired over this?
