Hi,

 

My wife and I are divorcing.I pay for the family plan which includes our two daughters.

 

I would like to keep my number.

 

Can I set up a new account for myself only and keep my number?

A bit more explanation is needed. Are you the A/c Holder of the a/c containing your no. or is it your wife?  It's immaterial who pays it bill. It's the owner in whose name it is that matters.

  1. If you are the owner you've already own your no. You might want to do a change of ownership of your wife's , & maybe daughters', contracts to a separate a/c in her name.
  2. If your wife is the owner you don't  own that no. & she could do anything with it. Then you would want your wife to do a change of ownership of your contract to a separate a/c in your name.
