Question
Hi, I was wondering once the merger takes place, will we be able to transfer to at%26t even though our contracts with centennial are not up yet without paying fees? Will there be a deposit? My husband and i want a new phone, but we don't want to pay retail for them
Once the merge completes, it is very likely if you want to move over to an AT&T phone and plans, AT&T will allow you to do so by signing a new 2 year agreement and going with their plans and devices. You will not be able to keep your old plan. A deposit is based on your credit rating. If you don't have good credit, AT&T may require a deposit. It won't be based on your coming from Centennial. It is very likely that AT&T will be soon sending you literature about the merger and what your options are. Since they would want to keep Centennial customers, they likely will offer you the option of moving to their plans and phones with a new 2 year agreement even though your current agreement is not up for renewal. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
