Transfer Contract to new person - Anyone done this?

| Has anyone successfully had a contract transferred to them, or
transferred from them to another person? Were you able to do this
while keeping the existing expiration date on the contract you took
over?
I have been talking with someone that I got in touch with via
Celltradeusa.com, he has a Cingular contract that expires in 2 months
that I wanted to take over. We were all set to do the transfer then
the Cingular Transfer dept. person told us that I would have to agree
to an 11 month contract. This is not how I understood this would work,
even after they had previously told us that my contract length would be
just the remaining months on his original contract.
Has anyone attempted or succeeded in transferring a contract and what
contract length did you have to agree to? I want to know if this is
the way it is or is Cingular trying to get me to agree to a longer
contract rather than just let me take over the contract for the
remaining months as the contract supposedly allows.
Any input/experiences?

Yes and yes. I transferred an account to someone else. We did it at
the Cingular store. They did a credit check on the other person, and
then simply transferred the account AS IS to that person--expiration
date and all.
They may have changed their policies, though. Wouldn't surprise me.
They'd make more money that way. They just want the business to stay.
So if you do their job by finding a replacement for you, they'll cut you
slack on your termination fee--and end up instituting that person as a
new customer with a new contract term. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
