Verizon and ATT-Cingular have recently changed their policy regarding contract transfer. They now require that a person can not assume the remainder of a contract that is less than 12 months or 11 months respectively. Therefore, no Verizon postings on the Cellswapper site will drop below 12 months and no ATT-Cingular contract below 11 months, to reflect this new reality.

There is still great value for a buyer in using Cellswapper to get new wireless service. Firstly, almost all new Verizon contracts are 24 months and with Cellswapper they are 12 months. Secondly, with Cellswapper you can often get plans that are no longer available with new Verizon service.

10. Do I have to provide any Personal Information?

The Only Time you Must provide personal information is when you Find a Plan that you would like to Takeover. You will be Required to Provide some Basic Information to the Seller, so that they can Proceed with the Transfer Process.
