Under my account:
Me: Smartphone
Brother: Dumbphone

Wife is on a seperate account and she has a dumbphone.


I want to upgrade my wife to a SG3 using my brothers avaiable upgrade phone.
I want to get the phone online. What process do I need to take to get my brothers upgrade and give it to my wife on a different account who too has a dumbphone.


I read some older threads (dated 2010) saying that if I get an upgrade phone and give it to someone else, not activating it on my account first, Verizon would charge me the full proce of the phone after so many days.
This still true?

What steps do I need to take to make this happen if even possible on Verizon.
