You can’t change the number and email address. This has to be done by a phone service like AT&T, T-Mobile, etc., or a company that is contracting with them that sells their service, like WalMart, Target, etc. They would assign a mobile phone number and use whatever email address you may already have from your Internet Service Provider , e.g., Cox, Comcast, etc. If you have a device using your son’s email address and a phone number, different from what you want, you may have to cancel the contract (assuming you have one) with them in order to get a new number assigned by a different company. Cancelling the contract may still hold you responsible to pay the fees for the entire contract (e.g., 2-years) you currently have, or you may have a penalty to pay. Check with you current phone service provider, e.g., AT&T. Make sure to ask about penalties and fees if you cancel your current contract. They may be willing to roll over your current contract to a new one, and not charge you penalties. Ask !

Fixya.com is a website intended for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING THINGS. I am answering from the USA.
If you reside where there is a public library, I suggest you ask one of the librarians there about an organization or organizations in South Africa where you can file a consumer complaint regarding the cell phone contract and the early cancellation fee.
Personal opinion: You may just have to resign yourself to keeping Vodacom as your provider and change to a new one when your Vodacom contract is completed. By that time, you will be able to investigate all your choices and understand which company provides the best service and contracts for customers.
Contact the finance company that owns the vehicle to enquire into the terms and conditions that they have concerning you wishing to cancel the contract
they own the vehicle until you pay the final payment
Please take that up with whomever you may have accidentally entered into that contract with, John. We can't act as your agent, we're only a question-and-answer site.
If the contract has, indeed, been fully canceled, then once you pay the account in full, the phone *most likely* is your personal property (I say most likely because without knowing the terms and conditions of your contract, I can't say who has what rights, so please understand all my advice is based on generalities and for the best answer possible, contact your service provider). What that means is that you can take that phone and use it to begin service on a separate account, which typically means you don't even need to sign a new contract. Like I said previously, though, it's best to contact your provider directly.
you will need a new sim card for pay as you go, you will also need the PUK code which is supplied by your service provider (bt) to unlock the phone for use with other networks.
