Upgrade or Move to a New Package

There are three steps to upgrading or moving to another package in VISP:

  • First, you must add the new package to the subscriber’s account.
  • Next, move all active services to the new package.
  • Lastly, deactivate and delete the old service.

Moving Active Services

You cannot move a Wireless Service to a package with a Dial-up or a Hosting service only. There must be a Wireless Service in the package for the transfer to work.  When adding the new package, you may set the Bill Start date to be on a past date, the current date, or a future period.  Upgrade or Move to a New Package - UBO Depending on the subscriber’s billing settings, a pro-rate charge may be generated.  Next, right-click on the Wireless service of the active package.
