Change one line from in family plan to individual?

I’ve been trying for almost two weeks to change my multi line plan back to an individual plan so I can move my number to an existing postpaid ATT account. Won’t work. Customer service just keeps saying try again later. I’m assuming it’s some kind of glitch in the ATT system but no one can tell me when this will be taken care of.

Hello, @Westtexascop,

 

We've got this. Here are the steps to manage your prepaid multi-line account and return a device to an individual line. If you've followed those steps without success, what error message are you receiving, if any? Have you tried accessing your account and making the changes with a different browser? Let us know if this helps.

I’ve tried for two weeks now to change my account back to an individual account. I get this error message:

We seem to be experiencing system issues. Please try again later.

I’ve called your customer service twice and they couldn’t do it.

Are you in charge of the multi line plan?

Yes. My line is the only one left on it.

So you have returned all of the other lines back to individual lines but you can't return your own line to an individual plan, is that it? Since you only have the one line left, does it matter? To transfer your line to postpaid needs to be done at an ATT store anyway, they should be able to do that now.

Hi, @Westtexascop,

 

Just to verify, when you tried to change it in a different browser, you did receive the same error message?

 

Were the other devices off the account by the last time you paid for service? If so, did you still receive the multi-line discount? If not, the account may have defaulted back to an individual account and that may explain the error message.

I’ve tried it with my iPhone and two PC browsers. The last two payments were for only one line. I think I only got the autopay discount.

@Westtexascop

As @sandblaster wrote, it sounds like you have successfully become a single again.  Now you need the owner of the family plan to add your number, which requires a new sim, in an ATT store to port the number to postpaid.

The problem is I need to move my number to an existing postpaid ATT account and they tell me they can’t do that until my account is switched to an individual account. They just keep telling me they have a system issue and to keep trying.
