I would like to buy the Moto g3 for 450 but first there is something I just read that I need clarification.  Users of virgin mobile are saying that virgin mobile will soon be dropping Data Done Right and I am pretty sure OP's loophole relies on data done right so I would like to know how does this latest decision on part of Virgin Mobile affect, if any, this loophole.  Will the phone continue to work after VM shuts down Data Done Right?

A few concerning reference point:

There is also a discussion going on over Reddit for this very same topic:

So what are your thought, will this affect the loophole or not?
