Basically you 2 will have to do the following so that you can take over your line and get off his account.

Assumption of Liability

Can I transfer my account or a line on my account to a friend or family member?

Yes, Assumption of Liability (AOL) is a process that lets you transfer the control of your account or a specific line on your account to another person. You can also perform an AOL to assume responsibility for another person's account, such as a spouse, child, parent or friend.

To find out if you're eligible to participate in an AOL process, please review the Assumption of Liability requirements.

What are the requirements for transferring my account or a line on my account to a friend or family member through Assumption of Liability?

Thanks! since he is the account holder will I need him to do this? I have the passcode.

You need the account owner to do this. I suggest going to a corporate store together and having it done there rather than over the phone.
