How to transfer a number from a Duke account to a personal account

Your may wish to transfer a mobile number off of your Duke account onto a personal account for one of your users. To assume personal financial responsibility for the AT&T Wireless number, the user should download and read Let AT&T Help Keep You Connected (PDF), then follow the instructions given.

How to transfer a number from a personal account to a Duke account

You may wish to begin paying for a user's personal mobile number. If this is the case, the mobile number needs to be moved from the personal account to your Duke account. To do so, the user should do the following:

  • Call AT&T Customer Care at 800-331-0500 (or 611 from their mobile phone) and advise AT&T that s/he wishes to transfer financial responsibility for his/her number to a Duke account. If the line is the main number on a family plan, the user will need to advise AT&T of another number on the plan that they wish to become the main number. On the personal account, AT&T Wireless will note that Duke is willing to assume financial responsibility for the number.

Once the user has taken this step, you can contact AT&T and request that the number be moved to your billing account.
