I currently have this phone but need to replace it due to issues. Will my current SIM card work in this new phone since it's the same phone and model? I really don't want to extend my contract with At&t, which is what customer service suggested so they can send me a new phone. I just want to wait out my contract but need a phone in the meantime.

You should be able to. I had water damage with my Pantech Ease from AT&T; and recently purchased one on Amazon, inserted my SIM card and no one would know anything had ever happened! Worked like a charm.

Hello, I bought this model to replace the same one he broke.Your SIM card will work as we have had no issues with our new phone.My son love it, so you should be fine.

I don't see why not. I switched from a Pantech Ease with a broken screen to another I bought on amazon. All I had to do was swap the sim. You should make sure that the phone is from the same carrier (ie. AT&T;) in case your original one came from another carrier like T-Mobile.

yes it will I had the same problem I ordered one through amazon and no problems at all

If you have an AT&T phone right now, you can swap your sim card from your old phone to the new one. The store will do it for you, but look up on the internet on how to swap sim cards. It's easy. Your account will not change.

Switching from another phone to this phone but keeping the same contract? If so, Yes. as long as you stay with AT&T.; many times you just need to switch out the SIM card from one phone to the next.

Yes you can activate and use with existing contract.That is what we did. Phone was like new and is still working great.

I'm with Verizon, I called them and gave them pertinent numbers. I had no problems in transferring the use of my old cell phone to the new-used one. Calling your carrier would be the certain way to know this particular model can be utilized by your carrier's network.

If you keep the same service carrier with active service, they should assist you. If you want to switch carriers, but keep your old number, things get difficult. I hope this helps..

Yes, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to either replace an existing phone or add one to an existing contract. Just contact Verizon prior to purchase to double check.

I'm sure they will. You will need to port the old phone number to the new phone- it would be under the same contract with AT & T. I bought this phone because my son broke his other one. We just took out the sim card from his old phone and put it in the new one- so we had his same number and all contact info., and we didn't need to deal with AT & T. Never had a problem with AT & T customer service though, you should be able to go to any AT & T store and have them port over the info to the new phone.

Yes and yes. I chose to buy this phone after my contract expired so that I would not be "stuck" in another contract with verizon. Verizon connected the phone to my existing number without a new contract. If you have an existing contract, verizon will just connect the phone to your number and the life of your contract will be applied to your new phone. The Charger I received with my new used phone is not the type I would have received from verizon (theirs comes with the usb that disconnects from the plug). The one I received works and charges my phone but is a simple and basic design.

Actually you need to call att so they activate the Sim card. Once the card it's activated than you explain them that you want to keep your old number. They can tell you how to add call and text time to it.

If you have the correct sim card. Call AT&T give them the imei number and tell them you're switching phones. I really really like mine.

If AT&T; is your provider, just insert you SIM card and all AT&T; network functions will immediately work as they should. You won't even have to visit the local AT&T; store for activation. The phones that are advertised as "compatible" or "unlocked" will not. They must specifically state that the phone is programmed for the AT&T; network as this one does. I bought two phones from this seller in the past year and both are still working fine and have been totally problem free. Even my elderly mother hasn't been able to mess her's up as she did with it's three predecessors (ha! ha!).

These phones are getting harder to find. The seller must clearly state that the phone is designed to work with only AT&T; or all of the functions will not work. Steer clear of the phones that are "compatible" with multiple carriers, because functions like texting pictures will not work.

Just move your sim card from your old phone to the new one. If you get an error message then you may need to take the phone to an at&t; store to get a new sim card. But your number will stay the same

I bought this phone several months ago and could not get it to work. The phone was listed as being compatable with "all Major plans. I have AT&T; and did not question whether it would work because AT&T; is certainly a major carrier." When I attempted to exchange it I was promised I would be sent Labels to return it. The labels NEVER CAME. I called back twice and was advised that they would send me labels to return it, but they never arrived. I needed this phone because I had suffered several strokes and my eyesight was compromised. Please send me labels, so I can return it and get my money back or, in the alternative, send me a new one which will work!!!

When I put a sim card in my phone, it didn't show it was locked, but it did have a problem with it wanting to use att menu not consumer cellular, is t and t compatible with at and t USA? I found this phone was made for ATT service and you need to find someone with your system at your providers office they sould be able to make it work..

hi if its a sim card then you can just put it in the phone and start using it, because the phone is unlocked but if it doesn't work then i think it will be more advisable to take it to the AT&T; store. but i think it should. hope my answer was helpful.
