To separate Verizon phone plans, use Verizon's Group Save program, which lets you split a family plan into separate individual accounts while keeping your multi-line discount. This process is handled through the Transfer Your Service tool, allowing eligible smartphone lines to move to new accounts with their own bills.
How to separate Verizon phone plans with Group Save
Group Save is Verizon's official program for splitting a family plan into separate individual accounts while retaining the original multi-line discount. The transfer is processed through the Transfer Your Service tool, which securely switches the line or lines to the new account. This is the current official path for separating a Verizon family plan, and it lets eligible smartphone lines move to newly created separate mobile accounts while keeping the line-attainment tier benefit from the original account.
Eligibility requirements for Group Save
To qualify for Group Save, the lines must have been active for the prior 6 months on an eligible plan. Eligible plans include myPlan, Unlimited Welcome 1.0, or Mix and Match 4.0 (which covers 5G Start, 5G Play More, 5G Do More, and 5G Get More). There must be at least 1 myPlan phone line on the account. All involved parties must agree to the transfer, be of legal age, pass a credit check, and assume full financial responsibility for their lines and any remaining device payments. Prepaid plans are available for those who want flexibility without a long-term contract or credit check.
Step-by-step: using Transfer Your Service to split accounts
The Account Owner or Account Manager starts the process by going to the Transfer Your Service page, which is available online or over the phone. Verizon's support pages include Transfer your service - My Verizon app and Transfer your service - My Verizon website flows for moving mobile numbers between Verizon accounts. The new accounts can be on myPlan, Mix and Match, or Simplicity plans. Transfer Account Ownership procedure may require providing consent and completing documentation if the separation involves transferring ownership of specific lines.
What happens after you separate your Verizon plans
After the split, each new account gets its own bill. Each new account under Group Save keeps the line-attainment tier benefit from the original account. The split can create up to 4 total accounts at the time Group Save is activated. If a moved line goes to a Simplicity plan, that line will not retain the multi-line discount. This program is intended for customers who want to split into separate, individual accounts while retaining their original multiline discount. Activation of new plans may involve activating new SIM cards, updating device settings, and ensuring seamless connectivity.
