Transfer of Liability Question

Everything stays as it is it just transfers-- no starting contracts over.
The billing cycle will then be as the account that it is going to. The
plans will not change unless you want them to.

Remaining months only. The contract is, basically, tied to the phone
number. Transferring it to someone else brings the currently active
contract with it. Unless the new owner *then* chooses to change the plan.

Maybe, but no guarantee. If perty B sets up a new account that day, the
billing cycle could be assigned (I think) as much as a week later.
Usually that day, but up to a week later.

Whatever's on that transferred line can stay on that line. Of course, if
it were the second phone on an Add-A-Phone plan, then it would be stupid
to stay, but it *can* stay that way and pay $0.40/min for every single
minute it's used. If the new user wants that.

Other than a few additional month charges for those extra days until the
new billing cycle is established, nah.
