• You can transfer one line or several. 
• You can’t transfer any Rollover Minutes^® or Rollover Data^®.
• If the account has any installment plans, you can transfer them after a credit evaluation of the new owner. Learn how to to pay off an installment plan.
• You have to pay the remaining balance on any accessory installment plans.¹ 
• You’ll get a bill for the time the service was active in your name. 
• Your plan and features may change depending on your original account agreement. For example, if you have multiple lines, but only one is left after you transfer billing responsibility, you may have to choose a new agreement.

If you have a combined bill

• Be sure to separate a service before you transfer billing responsibility for it.
• If you transfer billing responsibility for all your services, the bill will automatically split.
• You can combine your bill again after two bill periods by contacting us. You'll get separate bills until then. 
• If your bill gave you exemptions from price increases or changes in rights and responsibilities, be aware that the new account will not inherit those exemptions in a combined bundle.
  So, their bill may be higher than yours and their legal rights may be different
  

New ownership

• We’ll put billing responsibility in the new owner's name with their credit info.
• The new account owner accepts responsibility for the wireless account, monthly bill, and contract, if there is one. 
• The new account owner gets any upgrade eligibility that applies to the transferred lines.
