Pioneer Cellular will continue to bill active customers until they switch to Verizon or another carrier.

We expect most numbers will be able to be transferred to Verizon and potentially other carriers.

Pioneer Cellular expects to discontinue cellular operations by late summer. To continue uninterrupted service, all customer accounts must be converted to Verizon or another carrier by September 30, 2023. All Pioneer Cellular customers will be required to transfer service before this date.

Effective immediately, customers paying a monthly charge on their mobile device can transfer the device installment balance to another active service, such as telephone or internet for continued monthly payments. If customers do not have another active service with Pioneer, we will allow customers to create a separate monthly billing to pay off the installment balance on your active device over time instead of payment in full.

Pioneer Cellular will waive all early termination fees when customers switch to Verizon or another carrier during the transition period, opening July 7th. Customers choosing to transfer before the opening of the transition period, will be charged applicable early termination fees.
