hello,
i am the secondary user on the family share plan. i was wondering if it stil isl 175 dollars to cancel a contract with verizon. and can you cancel just one line of the family share plan without effecting the other line? i am the secondary line so they won't tell me crap because my name is not on the bill. i am 21 and think its time to get my own line and bill in my own name haha. i just don't want to mess anything up with my dad. he doesn't really understand technology that well. please don't tell me to call some verizon person because they won't help me. but i just want to know what the deal is. if anyone could help out that would b great. my contract doesn't expire until 2010 and I do not want to wait that long. i want to try and do it without my dad really knowing as well. i don't have a credit card yet so if i don't get approved for one this wont be happening at all newayz since you need a credit card or its better to use one to get a contract.
thanks!

hello,
no what i want to do is cancel my line. get a contract on my own with a new phone number. and a new cell phone. i want a blackberry touch. can i do that with the family share plan? do the assumption of liability and then cancel it? i guess you all don't understand what im saying. is there a fee for the assumption of liability? and is the fee still 175 dollars for canceling a line? i know that i will need my dad for part of it. wouldn't it just be simpler to cancel the one line? doing the assumption of liability would i get my own new contract? or would i continue on with my dads contract? like that makes no sense to me. would it still be a family share plan contract but my name would be on the bill? that would be the exact opposite of what i would want to do. i have no idea what you mean. please explain thank you.

"Ban" I think you've explained it pretty well. Unfortunately, I don't think the originial poster is realizing that "HE" can't do any of this totally on his own without Dad knowing. It sounds like that is what he is trying to do. There is no amount of money he can pay to do this without Verizon first contacting Dad and Dad agreeing to cancel the second half of Dad's family plan. Both lines technically and legally belong to the father. He is the only entity that can authorize the relinquishing of the second family line to his son for his exclusive use.
All that being said . . . why even go that route. Why not simply go to Verizon on your own and open your own account. Then tell dad you no longer need his line as you have your own. Now I understand the problem is you also don't want your Dad being angry over the termination fee. There IS a way around that and Verizon will explain it to your Dad (or to you if you ask). If you can within 90 days find someone who will take over that line then Verizon will indeed waive the termination fee.
Now if you're following me so far . . . the light bulb should be on! LOL. Instead, of you getting your own line on your own . . . YOU become that party whom your Dad found who is willing to take over the line! That way he get's out of the termination penalty fee . . . you assume the line which will then totally be your's with a number of your own!
hiya,
ya he did explain it very well the second time. i would pay for the termination fee obvs. thank you for calling me a guy. cuz guys usually write in pink and purple i appreciate that. so you can't terminate a line online? ya i was going to do that well i was going to do it online.... get a contract. ya im still confused maybe that is the GIRL in me. but you find someone to take over the second line wouldnt they have my old phone number and still be under my dads contract. so what if they mess it up and go over the minutes and stuff. that would be sweet. isnt what you said in the last paragraph the same thing as assumption of liablity like the guy said in the first response? i want a new 2 yr contract so i can get a new phone haha. thats the only point in doing this.
