I want to stop paying for my son's line as he's working, but the customer services said all my discounts would be removed if we do this. I'm currently paying about £15 for his unlimited data with roaming line and £22 for my line that includes an extra.

So apparently not only would he have to pay £36 a month, my line charge would go up by a third too!

This post was split from a thread from mid-2025 asking how to proceed with a change of legal ownership.

The answer to this specific new situation, depends on what the discounts and/or extras are in-place for. If you proceed with moving a phone from account A > account B (which could be a new one), then account A will naturally lose any multi-line benefits that this phone triggered.

The phone in question would lose the 30% multi-line discount, unless the account it moves to, is an existing one in which case it become eligible for one by virtue of also being an additional-line.

Data sharing between each phone on the same billing account is often a prominent benefit too.

@EAB25 : If you move (by changing ownership) his line to his own a/c he will only be paying for his line (£15) providing he passes the credit check. You will continue to pay for your own line (£22?) but would lose the 30% multi-line discount.

So basically I'm better off paying his bill 🤦🏽‍♂️
