[Verizon] Can I transfer my rooted Nexus (JB) phone to wife's number?

[Dabitz]

I am thinking on buying my wife the SIII and then switch phones with her once the SIII gets developers support, etc. My question is, can I switch my wife to my Nexus as it is, or do I have to unroot, lock, and make it stock again?

you can switch them as it is. just call verizon and have them put the nexus on your wifes number, you may have to get a new sim card though, just for her.
the s3 takes micro sim

Couldn't you just swap Sim cards since they both are micro? I swapped between my tbolt and droid charge that way.

I see the option under my verizon (online) to transfer the phone to the other line. I just wonder if it would fail or get block after it finds out its running Jelly Bean

i dont think it searches your phone for operating system, it just transfers the number

It won't. The ONLY thing the transfer/network does is look at the identifying information passed by the SIM card, and allow the phone to either access the network or not. It doesn't dig into your phone to find out anything about it.

All it does is compare the subscriber identity on the SIM card, with a central database, and say "yep, allowed" or "no, goodbye."
