If i buy this phone and take it to At&t will they switch from my phone to this new phone? or do i need to be eligible for an upgrade?

No upgrade needed. They will activate the Sims card (or give you a free Sims if needed) and you're done. I did my new iPhone over the phone.

So, if I have an AT&T; account already, can I just switch SIM cards and have it work?

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.

You could try however it is difficult to use a Verizon phone that isn't AT&T compatible so frankly I wouldn't advise it. You can enable the phone without upgrading, if you had a Verizon account.

Yes because what u move to the new phone is you sim card if you want to use it as a replacement phone....if you going to use it as a prepaid u need to contact tmobile to see if they can tranfer the old number to use it prepaid

Yes you can! When you call to transfer your service over to this phone, they will ask if this phone is an android? I think they should know that this model is Not so why are they asking? Anyways, if they do, say no. I took a little over an hour after we finished our call before the phone was working.

I use my phone with my Verizon plan. I replaced my earlier cell phone when it wore out. You would need to check with Verizon to see if they will allow you to switch phones on your existing account without upgrading to a higher-priced plan. Depending on your plan It may require you to go to a supervisory level at Verizon for the approval. I ended up telling them I would cancel my plan and just buy a SIM card if I couldn't use the replacement phone on the cheap plan I have. They realized I wasn't bluffing and activated this phone in the account. I like the phone OK. The only down-side is the ringer is not really loud, so I keep it turned all of the way up and miss a few calls when I am in a noisy environment.

Yes. I replaced with it a phone that is on AT&T; plan. Just move the SIM card to the new phone.

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

No, you will need a Straight Talk SIM if you change to Straight Talk as your provider. You may use the AT&T network, but you will need a SIM from your new provider.

Yes. I am with AT&T; so I can only answer for my experience, but I have had no problems in transferring my AT&T; account to the new, unlocked phone.

No! This phone is not compatible with AT&T; as of September 2014. They will come out with a new phone, a 3G phone that works with AT&T;, until then this phone only works with AT&T; if you have an existing 2G SIM card. You can't get new service with them.

If the phone you are buying was on verizon before then yes. Just go to a verizon store and have the phones swapped on your account. Make sure you wipe your old phone if you sell ir.

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.

The phone is sold exclusively for AT&T;, although I liked the phone and purchased an un-locked phone to use it as a T-Mobile customer. Find the plan you like whether it's Tmobile or at&t; and purchase an unlocked phone. You will be happy with both your plan and your phone.

It is not a smart phone and it takes a regular sim. AT&T will issue you a new sim at no cost for same account. Hope this helps

If it is the same sized sim card that this phone takes then you sure can! That's what I did. I was in the same situation as you, just wanted something to hold me over until my upgrade.
