Take Over my Contract - 7 Months left - Great Voice Plan!
I'm looking for someone who will take over the remainder of my T-Mobile contract. It ends on 2/21/2008, about 7 months left.
For those who are not familiar with how this works, it goes entirely through T-Mobile where they remove me from the contract and make you the contract owner. It's a clean transfer.
This is a great way to get an excellent plan, which is no longer offered to new customers as well as having a short contract period instead of the typical two year length.

I don't think you can port your current number and give this account a new number. That's where you're going to have problems. T-Mobile doesn't want you to leave, and they're not going to let you just keep your number, but sell someone else a contract for your remainder time, and assign a new number. Won't happen. Sorry.
...
The only way to keep that contract open is to keep that number with t-mo. if you change the number and give it to another person, you lose your number to a hold-pool.
...
Technically he could port out his number, call back, resume service with a different phone number and THEN do a change of responsibility to someone new.
...
Sounds like a big friggen hassle. Take the features off and save up for for term fees.
Or better yet wait.

Honestly. When you port your number, it cancels your service, you get the fee. I don't thnk there is a way around that fee. Can you call them, and be like, "No, I was just joking. I don't wanna cancel. Can you just give me a new number for that line???" only to turn around and change responsibility.
Selling contracts cost money, too. I think. At least, with our apartment, the previous owners had to pay $100 bucks to transfer the contract over to us.

naa it doenst cost. i just did a change of responsibility with my grandma.
basically it worked out great for her--ahe didnt have to pay the activation fee. and my line was up for a upgrade so she upraded to the wing before she did the change of responsibility.
funny thing is that i forgot about it, and later when i look at my account to see what i owed it said $250!!!! 😳 i called tmobile immediatly, and they said it was when my grandma did the upgrade, but they fixed it; they transfered the 150 over to my grandmas account 😁 and we where all happy.
so a change of responsibility could be a good thing!!!

but she has a two year contract, due to the upgrade? what's the point? wouldn't it have been cheaper to get a new line, new phone for 2 years?
good that change of responsibility is free.

well she didnt have to do the upgrade to the wing--on my uprade i had some phones as low as 40. and my line came with a phone that we where using on it already--it had a 6 month old t629, but she wanted the wing for 150 instead.
i dont dont know much about those computer like phones i heard they freeze alot. my dad returned his twice already-so i kept the t629 for her just incase.

You're lucky they transferred the balance. Part of doing a change of responsibility is you agreeing not to transfer the balance to any other party especially to the person who is taking over the line.
...
yeah, thats what the rep said. but since my dad is a 8 year costumer and im a 5 year they let us, we just had be on the phone at the same time.
...
Oops... I didn't realize you all had responded. T-mobile said that once I port my number to another carrier, I then call them to have my T-mobile account restored by requesting them to assign a new number to the account. They said my plan and contract would not change. They actually thanked me for not closing the account.
Let me know if anyone is interested.

The offer is still available. Send me a private message if you are interested.

Yes, since thats the old data plan before T-Mobile raised it to $29.99 for Unlimited Internet and Hotspot.
