Deceased account holder

My grandmother passed away and the account is in her name. Can we put the account in our name and keep her number?

This is a peer-to-peer forum.  This means you're talking to other Verizon customers.  You'll need to contact Verizon to find out the answer to your query.  Use the "contact us" link at the bottom of this page.

I know someone who looked into changing the account holder when their spouse died.  At that time, Verizon wanted to charge a fee to process the name change.  I've no idea if that's still true or if you can even do it if you're not a spouse of the account holder.  Again, best to call Verizon and ask them.

You might also consider moving the phone number to VoIP provider.

Good Luck.
