Change my phone number
I'm currently on my grandparents plan in West Virginia because of credit reasons....I'm moving to Texas next week and I was wondering if I could change my number to a local number there once I'm there.

Right, the grandson will stay under the grandparents' account, but will no longer be part of the family plan. One person can have multiple accounts and that's what the grandparents seem to be willing to do.
The credit reasons don't imply that the grandson couldn't afford service on his own, but rather would not want to pay a deposit. Besides, the OP was asking the original question to see what his options were. The OP may not have known that numbers for two different markets could not be on the same plan. I don't think that that's common knowledge, especially among younger customers.

believe they will aslo have to do a tobr to the OP, since telephone numbers of different market areas are not allowed on the same family plan

but if he is on a family plan as he indicated with his grand parents, was under the impression from other posts here that they don't allow family plans to have numbers from different market areas

I think that wilcre is saying that the grandparents will have two separate accounts with his suggestion. There will be an individual plan for the grandson and the family plan will remain intact that exists now (less one line) for the grandparents, with both accounts in the grandparents' name.

Do not see that mentioned - it appears he is asking if he can change the number when he gets there, nothing about doing a transfer of billing responsiblity, I am reading it as he wants to stay on his grandparents plan for the cost savings
they specificly state that they are on their gransparents plan becasue of credit problems, I also took that as they wanted to stay on their grandparents plan becasue of it and change the number
"I'm currently on my grandparents plan in West Virginia because of credit reasons"
