So, cancel the contract, pay $200 or get H to come up with the $500.
If you are concerned about people having his number and he does not want to lose his number, he or you can transfer the number to a new service. It's called number portability. Cell phone providers have to transfer numbers upon request since about June 2004.

Even though I've forced H to take financial responsiblity for some things (car payment, cell phone) by refusing to cover them, he doesn't contribute a cent to anything above and beyond those items.

My kids tried this before they went to college. W and I did not let it happen. COgal, you do not have a H, you have a son and you are the mom. Do you want a man or a boy.
COgal, you have posted too many "yes buts." You will be in this BS (mother / son relationship) for a long time if you are afraid to stop people taking advantage of you. Marriage is not about marrying a mother to look after you. Marriage is suposed to be about being equal partners, sharing responsabilities, and working toward common goals.
