Scam. And no, you can't transfer the HSLD accounts.

Re: Grandfathered unlimited account - for sale? Not much point in selling an unlimited Bell account for $70/month when you can get something equivalent from a GAS-ISP under $50/month without having to pay the $500 up-front "purchase" price.
Another major problem with the proposition is that any material change to a grandfathered account (requesting a speed upgrade or address change) is supposed to terminate it... so you "buy" the account but the address change kills its grandfathered status and renders it worthless.
So yeah, scam. Makes no sense and simply not possible through normal means. |

You can normally transfer accounts, you just talk to business office for a "transfer of responsibility", however the unlimited accounts cannot be transferred. However you can still make a move order without losing the unlimited as long as you are moving to an area with ATM network or FTTN, if you are moving to an FTTH network then is not possible. There are ways to move the account without losing the unlimited, the problem is when you speak to a frontline rep they are more interested on making an upgrade and will try to offer another plan without telling you that you will lose the unlimited. However in this case, what this person is trying to do is not possible. |
