How to port out of family plan and change to individual plan
What should I do if I want to leave a current family plan I am in and change to a individual plan? I am not the primary account holder for this family plan so does the primary account holder need to...
@fireguy_6364 is 100% correct if you are wishing to set up your own individual T-Mobile account.
If the Primary Account Holder agreeable to the change, I would recommend that you dial 1-800-T-Mobile to initiate your account first, then have the PAH dial 611 to complete the change of responsibility. It doesn't matter if they call in first, but you'll still need to speak to activations to start your account before your number can be transferred.
Please note, if you are making payments on a device through EIP (equipment installment plan), we will send you a link to a Docu-Sign website where you will sign an agreement to take over the payments. If you fail to complete this step, your device payments will remain on the other account. Also, if you have a Jump On Demand payment plan, you will not be able to move the device payments to a different account at all.
If you are hoping to port your number out to another carrier, you will need to obtain the account number and the PIN/Passcode on the account in order to complete the port. You will also need to confirm that the PAH doesn't have any port-out blocks on the account.
Hope this helps!
They don't care. They will not let you move your number. T-Mobile is evil. I'm on hospice and they won't let me port my number from an abusive family member. I will lose my number and have 1-2 left to live.
The primary can delete you!!
