issue, not really, but you'll have to pay the full price of the phone which can be very expensive

If your current contract is expired then you should be able to port your current number as well as get the phone at the discounted price so long as you are willing to contract to Verizon.

So what happens if your contract expires and you get the phone thru verizon on a new familt share plan for say $150. to $200. that would definitely be cheaper yes?

So if you have a family share plan you have to pay the whole-nine-yards for the Storm, is that what you are saying!

You can always add a new line (to get the 99 dollar amazon price), then cancel one of your older existing lines(not newly added line). You will pay an ETF of up to 175 but you'll still be way ahead on the price of the phone and you'll have your new toy. 175 plus 99 is still less than the 500 or 600 dollar full upgrade price.

I contacted cingular about this very same issue. They told me I could do it, and it was worth the money I would save, however they said I could not transfer my old number. I'm not sure if the guy I was talking to was knowlegable or qualified enough to say this...and I for one dont really trust him

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..

You can, but it does take some time. Make sure you don't cancel your Verizon account until the transfer is complete, or you will lose your number. It would probably be easiest to buy the phone at a store and have them set it up with your Verizon number to begin with rather than order it in the mail and then try to have the number changed.

Yes. Your new phone will be covered by the plan you already have with Verizon. I am a Verizon customer and when I bought a Samsung Convoy U640 online I just followed the set up procedure on the phone and it automatically became my Verizon phone. I didn't even have to go to or call Verizon. You will need to transfer your contact numbers from your old phone to your new one yourself, one at a time. If this is too onerous you can take your new phone to Verizon and they will do it for you. They don't charge for this service. They will also transfer your photos.

Why would you need to change phone numbers?. The 3 handset phone that's in question are not a good choice of phones. They function poorley. No need to change your phone number or purchase the AT

You can just buy it and swap it out for a phone on your line. I purchased mine and replaced my droid the day I recieved it with no change to my plan and no upgrade availible.

If you have a Net10 account already, all you should need to do is change the phone assigned to that account. So long as the account you have offers all the features you desire, you should be fine. I had my step-daughter on an unlimited minutes and data plan for her old phone and we just transferred the account to this phone and it works fine. It's a pretty simple change, as I recall.

Yes, that is what I did with this phone. My son had another older model LG that was acting up and rather than buying or getting new phone for free from Verizon and committing to another 2 year contract, I simply bought this LG and replaced his old LG. With Verizon, they allow you to switch phones easily from home without any service charge or penalties. You can visit Verizon's website and they have instructions on switching phones along with transferring your address book over to the new phone. As for the pictures, you'll have to buy an SD card to transfer the memory from your old old phone to the new phone. Good luck. Yes, that is what I did with this phone.

You can transfer your minutes if you transfer your current Tracfone number. I recently did this myself. Any minutes you transfer DO NOT triple as someone else mentioned.

You should be able to. I have the family plan as well and I just places my current sim in the phone and it worked great.

Yes, you will get a new phone number after activation. Also you can transfer your current number to this sim. You can add $ on its website.

You would have to contact your service provider...and they will nedd the number under the battery.... But you can usually only do that if you are using the same provider. I dont think you can switch carriers can keep the same number.But I could be wrong. Anycase you would have to contact your service provider....

I checked with Verizon and Jodie is correct. If you had both this and your contract phones for 6 months, then wanted to use this one on your contract (or regular account after contract ends), you could then switch it over. The prepaid is about as cheap as my new plan on Verizon (unlimited talk, unlimited text, 250M data), so I'll keep my plan as long as the current phone works and just switch over to prepaid and this phone with my number at that time.

Yes as long as you use the same SIM card or take the phone to your carrier. If you are switching carriers you will need your account number and PIN number from your current carrier to move your number.

Not sure exactly but I just ordered/bought phone before Christmas, and just called Verizon and switched/transferred old one to this new one with no problems and it works just fine. However, I did but now no longer have a contract with them since mine expired a few years ago, but still using same plan and company......so it shouldn't matter. This phone is exactly as my old phone, just newer is all.
