Big breakup question!
I would like to thank in advance any of the knowledgeable verizon reps who reply to this question. I recently split up with my girlfriend of three years. No reason for that info to be on this thread other than the fact that we're both verizon customers. She was with verizon when we met, and I got a phone and we got one of those "add a line for $9.99" deals. Which was great for the last two and half years until we separated and I moved three and a half hours away where the only cellphone coverage is provided by alltel 😢 Obviously this is not a great situation for me.

That is partially true. If you live in an area where there is no VZW service, then the line can be cancelled w/ no ETF if we can verify there is no coverage there. There is a bit of a problem with that, though, depending on your circumstance. The disconnect of a line w/o ETF would be allowed if the phone is being used in the no coverage area by the ACCOUNT HOLDER. The reason I say that is because when we disconnect a line w/ no ETF due to coverage issues, we have to have you send us proof of residency (i.e. lease, morgatage statment, utility bill, etc.) that has both the ACCOUNT HOLDER's name AND new address. IF the account is in your ex's name, you would not have any documentation of residency in the new area with her name on it, but i...

Maybe a change of responsibility into your credit, then do the moving to no coverage area trick? That's the only way I could see it working.

I would not even worry about it. The line is in your ex's name and she is responsible for any ETF that may apply, or she can find someone to take responsibility for the line.
