I'm thinking of buying a prepay mobile phone from a friend. What i would like to know is what do i have to do to get the phone in my name? Is it as simple as going to a phone shop and asking them to switch the phone to my name?

Thanks.

Side question:

Anyone with a prepay phone get a sudden huge increase in cost maybe a month ago or so? Mine went from something like 100 minutes on a 10k card down to 27 minutes. Not appreciated.

Don't know...me and my wife have monthly service. Prepaid sounds like quite the hassle.

There's no reason to change the registration name, just keep using it as is. It's not as if the phone can sense a change in ownership and will stop working.

I've only been asked for my name when I've added credit to my phone, I just give the name of the previous owner.
