How does the transfer
of contract responsibility work?
From experience most transfers can be made over the phone.
If you are in the same city, some providers require you to visit a local
corporate store. The transfer process is similar for all cellular providers.
The individual wishing to take over the contract submits a credit application
to the service provider by phone or going to a corporate store. They will
review credit standing of member assuming contract. If approved, transfer
of responsibility forms are prepared and signed by the CellularSwap.com
member getting out and the member who is assuming the contract. The transfer
is completed when the forms are signed.

You must send any incentives you offer to encourage other members to take
