1 year Verizon Wireless postpaid contract w/phone

Also on ebay: http://tinyurl.com/3cd55x
or
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE:IT&ih=005

Here's your chance to try Verizon Wireless, or have a backup/second
service, for just 1 year!

I simply don't use my basic, $39.99/month for 450 minute plan, and have
until 30 September 2008 on my postpaid contract.

Verizon Wireless permits postpaid customers (like me) to give up my number
and contract, with no early termination fee (call them at 1-800-922-0204
and ask them about Assumption of Liability), if I can find someone to take
on the remainder of the contract.

I never use my phone, and thus never receive any calls.

Simply check out Verizon Wireless' web page for their Basic 450 minutes
plan for details of what you get!

I have a Nokia 6256i and an LG VX-8300, both with a home and car adapter.
You can have your choice, for free, if you complete the deal (winning
amount would go towards shipping cost of phone to you).

If you are willing to take on the contract, send me an email and we'll
work out the details for the transfer to you.

Details of the LG phone can be found here:
http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=905

Details of the Nokia phone can be found here:
http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=515

**Verizon Wireless** MUST say you have successfully accepted the contract
**BEFORE** you get the phone and the deal is considered complete.

Verizon Wireless will send you a confirmation letter stating you are the
new owner of the contract once the deal is complete.

Transfer of ownership, verified by Verizon Wireless, must be completed
within three (3) calendar days of winning bid or deal is null and void.

Sounds like a whole lot of work to offload/assume a contract that ends in
less than two months at, as you say, $40 per....

I mean, why bother. Hell, you could sell those two phones on eBay for more
than you'd get on this contract assumption. Makes me wonder if this is legit
or a scam!!

Uh - you misread. The contract ends 30-Sept-2008. This is still year
2007. Thus, 13/14 months left, not 2 months.
