Can I transfer a number from an account with a different name.

Rhys

I want to transfer my daughter to Fizz, and put the account in her name. Currently the number I want to port over is on a different carrier, but it's under my name, not hers.
When I create an account on Fizz, should I put it in her name or mine? Note...I already have a seperate account in my name on Fizz.

Yes you can you need to have the IMEI

During the activation process, here’s how to keep your current phone number:

1. Click Transfer a number to Fizz.
2. Enter your phone number in the field that opens up below.
3. Use the drop-down to choose your previous provider.
4. 
   Enter your previous provider’s account number or your phone’s IMEI# in the field below.
   
   • Find your account number on your bill.
   • 
     Dial *#06# on your phone to get your 15-digit IMEI number.
     • Only the IMEI phone number used at your current provider will allow the transfer.
     • If the number is more than 15 digits long, enter only the first 15 digits.
   
   
5. Click Next, review your first monthly plan payment and click Submit.

Rhys,
I would suggest you, to take her plan into your account.
Does the montly payment woud be done with your credit card?
First, Just order a sim card and when you will receive it, do the activation of her sim card and her plan and supply account number of the previous provider to let Fizz do the transfert of her phone number.
Enjoy Fizz
