Is the imei the only way Verizon can identify a phone? What if I try to give my gs3 a different imei from another phone like the charge. Would my gs3 still work?

This is illegal.
this is for educational purposes. I was just asking if it was possible.

I am pretty sure they use the ESN to identify the device, not the IMEI.
Educational or not it is still illegal and will not be discussed here on Xda!

i have no intentions of flashing to another carrier, but several thunderbolt users i've seen have been able to flash to pageplus. you may need CDMA workshop if you want to do it yourself, i think CDMA workshop is around $100.00. there's a free demo version too, but i'm not sure that the demo would be sufficient to do this.

I'm not sure that you can 'unlock' an meid yourself, that's something the carrier has to do (with stolen phones and whatnot)
So if it's on her account, she'll have to get in touch with them herself and give her IMEI number and account details. They should then give an unlock code to make the phone usable again.
If that IMEI number has been flagged (as stolen or possibly delinquent) even an unlocking service won't be able to help you until the carrier clears it.

What you are looking for is to CLEAR the MEID/IMEI so that it can be used on another account.
You can't do that. Only the carrier can. Until the account is settled/paid with the carrier, that MEID/IMEI will be associated/assigned to that account and therefore can't be used on a different account.
Since PagePlus uses VZW towers/service (to my knowledge), you're stuck until the old account issues are settled.
Yup I'm stuck with Wi-Fi only thunderbolt this sux I guess she won in the long run although I have seen some nice prepaid phone's I seen an HTC one and some evo 4g's that have ics and are affordable virgin mobile and boost have unlimited data

So someone else didn't pay the bill for your phone and you're mad about it? Why don't you pay for your own phone?

Thunderbolt was the first to allow simultaneous voice and data on 3g. You maybe have been on WiFi on the eris.

Well AT&T figures if you're dumb enough to pay to be on their network you're probably also dumb enough to believe that too....
If you are/were an AT&T customer I mean no offense, I'm just not a fan
I think those commercials are for the iPhone 5. I believe it has something to do with the Verizon iPhone not being able to do it.

I believed it and until now still believed it. Didn't stop me from dumping AT&T two years ago.
I see a lot of mentions about it, but never an explanation of what it is.

Its basically your play new identity...every phone has ts own unique imei. And carriers have a list that matches then up with every phone they've sold or have in stock. Its how carriers make a phone unusable when stolen...they add the imei to a block list
Anyways...that's what I know it as...sorry don't have the actual definition of what it is...but that's its basics...with out it you get no photo new service

I don't think it's even allowed to post things like that here. In some places flashing is illegal(actually flashing is illegal everywhere), and flashing your phone is also illegal in some places. Xda does not endorse this type of thing and I don't know if they'll allow it at all.
Hi, I flashed my mom's galaxy s3 to page plus but only 1x data. I have my own galaxy s3 on contact and I was wondering can I use it as the donor and still use it as my phone. Or would it be illegal cloning. I'd like to know as fast as possible. Both phones are verizon.

Ok, I don't think you would be able to. I would get another device to do it. I used the i500.
From what I understand the secret keys are very specific to the device and not general
