I currently own a metropcs 4g phone with an active line. If I buy this phone do I keep my same phone line or do I have to to do a new activation?

You get to keep the same phone line (number) You can keep the same number with most networks
2057682
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.
2057683
Yes, you keep the same number, all you have to do is dial *228 when you get it and follow the prompts. Good luck and enjoy! :)

Since Im registered with metro online, it was as easy as just updating phone. So to answer your question, you can keep same phone number anf line.

YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR OLD PHONE SERVICE ACTIVE UNTIL THE NUMBER IS PORTED! I know that this makes no sense-- that you have to have two active phone lines, but only have one phone or phone system. It's not the way it has worked for me with other portings. But trust me on this. Keep paying your old company for the phone line until it's ported.

yeah, hey I know it's a little late but to answer your question only consumers who use gsm carriers can use "unlocked phones" In the US that means Cingular and T-Mobile basically (I'm not sure if Altel is aswell, but those are the two main ones) these carriers keep your subscriber identity on a sim card, so if you buy a new phone with a sim card that's already been activated you just need to pop in the old sim card and you're ready to go. on the other hand, verizon and sprint use cdma networks sans any sort of sim card. i.e. if you use sprint you cannot use this phone. you need to buy another from them, sorry. hope this helps

I'm a csr at metropcs and to answer your question Syed no you can not use this with metropcs only bring your own phone you can activate from another company..hope this helps.

Yes you can as long as you already have a contract with them all you have to do is Call Verizon customer service from another working phone and tell them you want to activate a new phone and they will tell you step by step how and it only takes a few minutes. If you don't already have a contract with Verizon you might need to go to verizon and speak directly to them. I hope this helped :)

you can always call verizon and ask if they can use it as a pre-paid im pretty sure they use the same numbers to activate. but i wouldn't know for sure i activated mine with my contract plan.

This is a GSM phone which requires a sim card from MetroPCSBecause MetroPcs sell's only no contract,prepaid cell phone's.So their phones can be used by anyone with a sim card for MetroPcs..A sim card must be purchased from MetroPcs. A sim card can not be transferred from one owner to another because they contain private personal data.Cell phones from one cellular carrier can not be used on another carrier unless they are unlocked by a third party.Unlocking a cell phone by a third party after it is off contract,is again legal under U.S. Congress law (S.517) as of 8-1-2014.

Did you ever find the answer to this question??? I am trying to upgrade my SECONDARY line & it's forcing me to choose a plan. I still want to stay on the family plan. Can I still purchase this phone as an upgrade? HELP!!!

when I bought this phone it was working really well and it works on MetroPCS but since they upgraded to a new network that phone will not work on the MetroPCS network anymore I had to get a new one.

You still need your att store to activate your new phone. Any location should do this free of charge

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

No, unfortunately not. This phone is GSM and Verizon operates on a CDMA network. The phone is 4G capable, just not on Verizon's network. To get the full benefits of this phone consider transferring to ATT, Tmobile or even MetroPCS. If you are unaware, MetroPCS and Tmobile have merged and GSM phones are allowed on Metro's network. You'll have to go to a corporate store to activate your device. At $50 a month (taxes included) it's not a bad deal for good wireless. I have this phone running on Tmobile's 3G network.

I was a cingular customer on a month to month contract. I renewed a 2 yr. contract with AT&T; through amazon and bought this phone. The phone will come with a new 3G sim card, which you need to use in order to take advantage of AT&T;'s 3G network. Once you get the phone and new sim card, just call AT&T; and they will activate your new sim card and at the same time deactivate your old sim card. You can keep your old number (which I did), or you can pay $36 to activate a new number.Also, there is an $18 charge to upgrade your equipment/phone (standard fee).

This Phone is Most definitely a 4G LTE phone! With the merger of MetroPCS with T-Mobile your phone "may" work with Metro. My understanding was that both AT&T; and T-Mobile uses GSM. Since Metro (in it ads states "rides on the T-Mobile Network") it could be a simple matter of changing your SIM card to connect. But PLEASE check with MetroPCS 1st. Not all phones or areas may work.

I had already had a phone on metro pcs they help me activate the phone and keep the number i already had, there was no charge any of that and i like this phone a lot... and i do not have to pay more a month i pay 40.00 bucks all the bells and whistles because i live in a place that wi-fi is everywhere so i never hit a data problem either. So they will treat it like a replacement or upgrade. I hope this helps!
