Here is what to do: Ask to do an Assumption of Liability; this legally transfers the remaining terms on the contract to another person. From there the CSR asks the person assuming the contract a few questions, verifies their SSN and some other information, and completes the deal. The minutes and bill are prorated between the two individuals. Keep in mind your bill has to be current and the other person must be at least 18 years of age or older. A credit check for the person assuming the contract will also be done.
The second way to transfer your service is to use a third party to find someone willing to assume the contract for you. This is essentially the same process as above, but you are using someone else to help you find a match. Trade My Cellular provides this service free of charge. In all cases, it is free for the person assuming the contract. What do you do if you have spotty service, dropped calls, or your calls repeatedly go straight to voice mail?
Complain to the company — but do it the right way. When you call the customer service representatives be polite and professional, thoroughly explain the situation to them, and be patient. If this is the first time this has happened you could ask for a discount to recompense you for your troubles. If this is a recurring problem, you should ask to get out of your contract.
This works best if you call often and keep records. Again, being polite is the best way to deal with this. Most cell providers coverage areas are quite extensive, but there will always be gaps in service. If you move to an area with little or no coverage, you may be able to get out of your contract.
This will often boost your signal enough to give you reasonable coverage. You can switch to Visible and bring your own phone, or you can purchase one of their phones to use with your plan. T-Mobile and Sprint are known to have much more spotty coverage in rural areas, but they are also cheaper than Verizon.
Transferring your phone number to another cell phone carrier is done by the new carrier when you switch from Verizon to that carrier. Timing is important on this. Your Verizon phone line should be active when our new carrier initiates the transfer. However, fees for cancelling your Verizon service may apply as explained above. Verizon answers some related questions about porting your phone number on their phone number transfer FAQ page.

Wireless devices use radio transmissions, so unfortunately you can't get Service if your device isn't in range of a transmission signal.
And please be aware that even within your Coverage Area, many things can affect the availability and quality of your Service, including network capacity, your device, terrain, buildings, foliage and weather.
You agree to pay all access, usage and other charges that you or any other user of your wireless device incurred. If multiple wireless devices are associated with your account, you agree to pay all charges incurred by users of those wireless devices. For charges based on the amount of time used or data sent or received, we'll round up any fraction to the next full minute or, depending on how you're billed for data usage, the next full megabyte or gigabyte.
For outgoing calls, usage time starts when you first press Send or the call connects to a network, and for incoming calls, it starts when the call connects to a network which may be before it rings. Usage time may end several seconds after you press End or after the call disconnects.
For calls made on our network, we charge only for calls that are answered, including by machines. For Postpay Service, usage cannot always be processed right away and may be included in a later bill, but the usage will still count toward your allowance for the month when the Service was used.
Our charges may also include Federal Universal Service, Regulatory and Administrative Charges, and we may also include other charges related to our governmental costs.
We set these charges; they aren't taxes, they aren't required by law, they are not necessarily related to anything the government does, they are kept by us in whole or in part, and the amounts and what they pay for may change. You must pay all taxes, fees and surcharges set by federal, state and local governments.
Please note that we may not always be able to notify you in advance of changes to these charges. There may be higher rates or extra charges including charges for long distance, tolls or calls that don't connect , and your data service may be limited or slowed when roaming. Many services and applications are accessible on or through wireless devices, including purchases of games, movies, music and other content.
Some of these services are provided by Verizon. Others are provided by third parties that may offer the option to bill the charges to your Verizon bill or other methods of payment. Charges may be one-time or recurring. The amount and frequency of the charges will be disclosed to you or the person using your device or a device associated with your account at the time a purchase is made.
If the purchaser chooses to have the charges billed to your account, such charges will become part of the amount due for that billing cycle. Verizon offers tools to block or restrict these services, and to block all billing for third-party services on your Verizon wireless bill, at verizonwireless. We do not support calls to , and certain other international premium rate numbers.
Verizon automatically blocks in the network many calls that are highly likely to be illegal, such as calls from telephone numbers that are not authorized to make outbound calls.
Additionally, your Service includes access to optional blocking tools for unwanted robocalls through our Call Filter service to which you may be auto-enrolled.
This service sends to voicemail many calls we determine to be high-risk spam, but you can adjust your spam filter preferences to block more or less calls. Visit verizon. If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within days of the date the disputed charge was incurred.
If you drop a call in your Coverage Area, redial. If it's answered within 5 minutes, call us within 90 days if you're a Postpay customer or within 45 days if you're a Prepaid customer, and we'll give you a 1—minute airtime credit.
If you're a Postpay customer and you lose Service in your Coverage Area for more than 24 hours in a row and we're at fault, call us within days and we'll give you a credit for the time lost.
Please be aware that these are your only rights for dropped calls or interrupted Service. If you choose to have your Service billed by another company [pursuant to a Verizon-approved program], late fees are set by that company and may be higher than our late fees.
Late fees are part of the rates and charges you agree to pay. If you fail to pay on time and we refer your account s to a third party for collection, a collection fee will be assessed and will be due at the time of the referral to the third party. We may require a deposit at the time of activation or afterward, or an increased deposit.
We may apply deposits or payments in any order to any amounts you owe us on any account. If your service is suspended or terminated, you may have to pay a fee to have service reactivated. If you're a Prepaid customer, you may replenish your balance at any time before the expiration date by providing us with another payment.
We may apply your payments to any amounts you may owe us if your earlier account replenishment payments had been reversed. If you do not have sufficient funds in your account to cover your Service, and sufficient funds are not added within 60 days, your account will be canceled and any unused balance will be forfeited.
The substantive laws of Pennsylvania shall be applied to disputes related to checks tendered as payment in full for less than the full balance due, without regard to the conflicts of laws and rules of that state. If you make a payment, or make a payment arrangement, through a call center representative, we may charge you an Agent Assistance Fee.
We're here to help.
