Transfer of number to a new person

[Anonymous]

Sorry if this has already be asked and answered clearly. I have a Pay Monthly contract that is outside of its contracted term. I want to transfer the number (and I presume the existing contract) to a new person, so that they can start a new contract under their own name with a new handset etc, as though they were a new customer. As far as I can see, they need to first set up an account (how?) and then the transfer can be initiated, ideally with both parties on a call with 02.

Thanks for any help and advice.

They need to obtain a contract in store or online then as you say you can both call to transfer the number.

call 202 and and do a change of ownership they will put you through to sales and take you through the process just ensure that the person taking over the contract is with you so they can runa credit check and take DD details etc... Good luck

You can't transfer the contract, you can only transfer the number. Doing so will automatically end that contract and a final bill will be produced so that you can pay up in full any remaining charges.

I'm not sure 02 do a change of ownership, I'm with @jonsie on this one

They don't which was why I said a new contract in store or online is required first.
