Easy Way to Move My Phone Number to a New Pospaid Mobile Plan under My Spouse's Name

Hi fellas,

My spouse can get reimbursed for a postpaid mobile plan from her work.
The problem is she has a prepaid plan which expires in 9 months.
My plan expires in a couple of weeks and we thought we can create a new postpaid plan for my number but under her name (for invoicing purposes).
Is there an easy way to do it?

I know we can swap the numbers but don't really want to go this path.

  • Speak to the provider if they can transfer the credit to another sim but its very unlikely, check the T&Cs. You can alternatively get the name on the account changed with ID etc submitted to the provider, I've spoken to Kogan about this before. Probably a good idea for work life balance to keep a seperate phone anyway.

  • Do a change of ownership to your partners account, just need to fill out some paperwork

    • So basically I need to open a new account under my name (as my current plan expires soon) and then transfer ownership to my partner's name?

        No, change owner of your current existing plan to your partners name. After that’s done, you can Re contract or whatever you want

        • Just a quick update on the topic.
          Submitted today a request to Lebara for the change of ownership with required documents and after few hours received a reply that the ownership was successfully transferred.
          So looks like a quick and successful overturn.

          Thank you supasaiyan and SirMurduck for your suggestions!

  • I would comment, but you apparently only want 'fellas' to reply ..

    • Apologies if my poor English insulted you in any way.
      Was directed to all dear Ozbargainers…
