Utility Call Script
Hi, I am moving on [date] and need to stop service at my current address and start or transfer service at my new address. Can you confirm the last bill date, any deposit, and the confirmation number for this request?
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Track confirmation numbers; they are the fastest way to resolve duplicate billing later.
- 💡Schedule internet earlier than you think, especially when installation access depends on a landlord or building manager.
- 💡Use a privacy-safe shared view that hides full account numbers and full addresses.
- 💡Add a two-week-after-move review so final bills, deposits, and missed mail do not drift.
