OP says he will be transferring his domains elsewhere. Seems like he is in for more suffering before that happens [1]: A Phone Call is REQUIRED for Domain Transfers from Network Solution to Other Registrars .. Transferring a Domain from Network Solutions to another provider requires the Primary Account Contact to make a phone call to Network Solutions technical support (average time 10 to 30 minutes). .. Use of the Network Solutions website procedure to obtain a Transfer Code, by the Account Primary Contact, requires a minimum 3 days wait.

This was not the case for me. I recently transferred a domain from Network Solutions to Hover for reasons similar to the OP. These instructions worked for me: https://help.hover.com/entries/21240798-How-to-Transfer-a-domain-from-Network-Solutions https://help.hover.com/entries/21240798-How-to-Transfer-a-do... This requires patience; it took 2 days to receive my transfer code from Network Solutions but I did not need to make any phone calls.

A client of mine transferred away several dozen domains last year - it did not require a phone call. OTOH, I had a single domain a few years ago there and I had to call in to transfer. I still have 2 domains there and I suspect I'll need to call to transfer.

I finally got rid of my last domain on network solutions. There's a form for requesting the authorization code, but despite submitting it out multiple times on various occasions I never received anything. The support docs indicated buttons that didn't exist. I finally called support and they gave me the code right away - at which point the transfer button mentioned in the support docs magically appeared for my domain. I found it annoying but the guy I spoke with was pretty cool on the phone and didn't hassle me at all about the domain or selling me other products.
