As long as your old phone was a tracfone, then you can move it over to the new one. I'm not sure about phones from a different plan.

As far as I know. I've seen it posted on their site quite a bit. I started with tracfone and you can go from tracfone to tracfone for sure I've done that. and as I said before it appears on the site as you go to transfer the number it can be from another provider.

Yes, Tracfone does allow your number to be transferred during the setup. If your previous phone was a Tracfone, you can also transfer your minutes as well. It's best to go through the Tracfone website to setup your phone, otherwise you will be stuck with an East Indian operator.

Yes, call Tracfone when your ready and it will be transferred to your new phone.

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.

Contact Verizon and tell them you want to activate a new phone and transfer your number. You'll need the serial number for the phone you want to stop using and the serial number for the new phone to give them. They will activate the new phone and switch your number.

Yes, you should be able to transfer it. We replaced broken phones with this phone, on our Verizon plan. It is a good value, inexpensive and provides the basics of talk, text, and pictures. Plus, by buying it from Amazon, you are not extending your contract!

Yes you can Lydia. Call them up and ask them to change phones for you. I had no problem doing it that way. 1-888-321-5880

I have a Verizon family plan (not offered anymore) with 1400 minutes unlimited text and unlimited data. I bought a phone off of Amazon and activated it at a Verizon store with no change in my plan. Verizon WILL change your plan if you buy a phone through them.

I have purchased phones from VM directly and through third party retailers. Swapping service is the same regardless of where you purchased the phone.

If you are purchasing the phone off of Amazon you must ensure that the phone you purchase is an unlocked GSM phone. Your Sim card (if you do not have a micro sim) should fit this phone. I do not believe there will be a problem as long as the phone is an Unlocked GSM phone.

You sure can, honey. It won't matter if you get a new phone. The number stays the same unless you contact the phone company to change it.

Yes, that is exactly what we have. We bought the phone on Amazon and then brought it to our local Verizon store and they activated it and copied all the contacts info to the phone from our previous phone.

Yes, you can buy it from Amazon and you can still activate it through Virgin Mobile. That's what I did.

It is my understanding you will have to sign up for a new 2 year contract and new call and data plans to purchase this phone from Amazon. If your contract is up then you can keep your existing telephone number and you will not have to pay the $38.00 new activation fee.

I was able to switch my phone number from an old cell phone to this phone with Verizon. There are instructions on the website to do this.

No. The phone is assigned a number when you take it in for activation at the store.

Don't quote me but based on my experience you can use that phone. Just explain that the other phone is lost. As long as you can verify your identity they will simply switch the information and the number. Only exception would be if your number were inaccessible, and it doesn't appear that would be the case. Good luck and I hope this helps.

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.

Mike-You can keep your old number. Just remove the sim card from your old phone and put it in this one.
