How it's used
Originally a term from professional sports where players move between teams, this has expanded to cover any change in service providers or affiliations. It carries a sense of active choice and transition rather than just leaving. It is frequently used in casual conversation to describe changing mobile networks, internet providers, or even gym memberships.
Examples
He decided to switch to another company this year.
Which telecom provider are you planning to switch to?

Common mistake
Do not use this for changing jobs in a general sense, as 轉工 is the standard term for switching employers. Use 轉會 specifically when referring to a formal change of membership, team, or service provider contract.
