I just went onto my Verizon account to make my wife's the primary account number so I can start the process for deleting mine.
She is going to keep Verizon as she always talks to my daughter on it and she has Verizon also, so it doesn't cost either anything.
The funny thing is that for months, they kept telling me how my contract would be up today and offering me discounts on new phones with a new two year agreement.
As of today, there are no messages to remind me any longer.
I think they may be on to something.
