How much do you charge to keep the existing phone number?

Magic Jack will charge you $5.00 to keep the existing phone number. However, I decided to get a new phone number to avoid junk calls. Since then I have not received any junk call.

I believe it's $10 but not positive. I know the info available on the Majicjack website.

I believe it's $10. At first they were charging every time I renewed, but then they sent me an email saying I would not get charged anymore. I'll see. For me, keeping my same phone # works well, since I don't have to notify my friends and family about a new number. However, as one person answered, getting a new number stops junk calls. Yet, those can be stopped by calling the 1-800-do not call number.

$21.65 ($10 for the port + $10 service fee + tax) whether they can port it or not. If they tell you they can, they still might not if your line had a "dual ring tone" like AT&T; "Ringmaster." They do not refund your fee if they cannot port it, and when you dispute the charge with the credit card company, you'll win but they will will disconnect your service, even if you paid for it in advance. They will try to charge you and extra $26 to reconnect. So best bet is just STAY AWAY from these crooks.

Yes the choice is yours....though I don't know if it's the same in all states. In NY state you can keep your phone # or get a new one and disconnect the last one - whatever you need.When you call *228 the system is gonna ask you about that - swap phones on the same # or add a new phone line.

You can keep your old phone number if the SIM card from your old phone can be inserted in the 665.

I ported my old phone number over to Ooma, so everything remained the same. However, if you need a new number you probably have to work with customer service. There may be a few area codes not open to them because of high usage rates. Give them a call first: they will work with you.

That Call Block is a great feature ... you will be glad you have it! Thankfully there is no extra fee for it :)) .. just the cost to the phone company for the caller id, which I personally think is worth the money (whatever it is .. it's so mixed into the bill I'm really not sure What it is LOL) ... Enjoy your new phone!

As far as I know, yes. I kept my phone number and you should be able to keep yours as well. As a double-up: front page of PhonePower says "Keep Your Existing Number For Free". ;)

Sure, it's easy. Go online to your Verizon account and set it up - there's a number to call that programs the phone to your existing phone number. I like flip phones and this is my all-time favorite.

hi. yes you can switch to straight talk and still keep your existing phone number. when you activate your phone online it will ask you if you want to switch your phone number. The question comes from a computer talking just to let you know. if you have problems getting the number to switch then talk to a representative and they will help you change your number in about 2 or 3 minute after they pick up. i would suggest talking to a representative.

So if you have a service from other provider and you wanna to keep the Same number then after finish your Contact you can switch but your service must be active with the current provider order to keep same number.

I used (and still do) this one as a replacement for an older one that did still work. However, you have to go to Verizon to get it "registered" and have it receive the phone number you formerly had or assign a new number. I do not recall if there was a fee for this or not.

Yes, that is what I did. My existing phone was having issues so I bought this new one and had verizon transfer my contacts and number to it without having to renew my contract.

Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine. I didn't have a number that I had to keep but I do know that if you already have an active number and are trying to either switch phone services or are simply switching phones that the company representative you are speaking with will ask you if you would like to keep your old phone number or switch to another available one. I don't think this phone comes with a charger, so just make sure you have one that will work with this phone before you get it because I don't think it comes charged... Good luck and hope these comments help! Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine.

this is a prepaid phone, so when you call it's activated right away with a $10.00 balance and they will issue you a new phone # or you might be able to keep your old #. just follow the prompts when you call.

You can transfer your existing number or get a new one. They gave me one with my current area code. Not sure if you can pick the area code. I would call them BEFORE you decide to activate anything because it's non-refundable. Also, get ready to be frustrated. Their customer service is terrible.

I have been a VM customer for a few years. We have switched over 3 phones from other service plans. No, there is no activation fees with Virgin Mobile...Yes, you can keep your phone number...my advice is to activate over the phone with a VM rep and they can help you switch over your previous #. (They have to request the # be "let go" from the other company...never seems to be a problem....and usually the process takes a lot less time than they will tell you.) The VM website has a map of coverage...check it first. They seem to have much better coverage on the East coast. Good luck!
