I really do know somebody that works for Verizon. She said that if you have a relative call in and say that you're dead or have some sort of malady that prevents you from using your phone they can cancel the plan. She said that 3rd degree burns on your hands should work. Maybe a coma from being in a car wreck. By law they cannot request medical proof or verification so they have to take your word for it. She did say that they can of course see your phone usage so you would probably need to turn the phone off for a couple of weeks and not use it...
