Remaining balance on a previous carrier?

[Little-Squash]

Hi was just wondering that if I switch to public mobile if they pay the remaining balance of my previous carrier or would I have to pay it?

I most likely am in good standing with them I've been with them for awhile

@Little-Squash   I guess you want to transfer your number over to PM when you activate.  Please note your current provider will only allow you to transfer the number if your account is in good standing.  When you transfer you number here, your old account will be closed and they will debit your credit card if you have pre-authorized payment setup there or they will bill you still if you don't have pre-authorized payment setup.

Thank you I'll keep this in mind an will decide soon 🙂

@Little-Squash  - You will be responsible to pay any outstanding balances owing to your previous provider, if any.

Are you thinking of a contract buyout? Public Mobile does not pay that.
