Hello. I am currently using AT&amp;T. I lost my phone and want to purchase this unlocked phone &amp; transfer my existing phone number to this Sharp FX Plus. Do you know if that is possible? My lost phone had a SIM card. I heard AT&amp;T phones had SIM cards but...

I use three different sim cards in my phone depending what country I am in at the time. If you are already with AT&T they can fix you up with a new card with your old number. No problem.

I would like to know how you bypass the adding of the data plan to your bill- I just got off the phone with an AT&T; rep that told me when their system does a sweep- it recognizes that the basic phone SIM card is in a smartphone. It automatically adds it to your account! I have just purchased 3 of these phones to use as regular phones and not data. Does anybody know how to fix my problem?? Please help!!

Hey D.E.,You need some sort of provider. I just moved my sim card from my old phone to the new. This should work even if you use a pay as you go plan. I use the t-Mobile yearly pre-paid plan - I just need to top it off to $100 each year.Really like this phone by the way.

ying if you already have phone with a simcard all you would have to do is transfer youre simcard from youre phone to the blu unlocked phone thats the beauty of it if you do not have a phone with a simcard. all you have to do is go to cell phone provider. aio.and get service from them . i did and walla it was working just like that.. but before i did that i already had service with airvoice wireles using there simcard on my old phone so wen i got my blu dash phone i tried my simcard from airvoice wireles and itttt worked. i use at&t towers. or team movil towers so the signal is good for me. hope this was helpfull. you can go to airvoice wireles.com and you can get there simcard service even on line just followed there steps. thats who i found to be the sheapest. they got a 10 dollar plan a 30 dollar plan and a 45 dollar plan and wen they tell you wish on you want thats what you pay no surprises. but as far as the blu dash it works beautifull....

I don't know. Mine was tied to Verizon; others in the US are tied to another carrier. That matters because of the network the US companies use. For instance, you can't use a Verizon phone with an AT&T; or Tmobile plan. I do not know the requirements outside of the US for phones. I am told that a SIM card will take care of that, but have no experience with that.

At the risk of sounding dumb here, what's a sim card? I've had a very low-end motorolla phone for the last few years on my go-phone plan. Does every phone have a sim card, and are they able to work when you go from one brand of phone to another? Thanks again.

So does that mean I can't insert the sim that is in my prepaid T-Mobile Razor that I am trying to replace? Or will it work as they are both T-Mobile? Thanks in advance.

STRAIGHT TALK - You know, a little bit unrelated, but I just got my Motorola Defy XT at Walmart, but I was told by the sales person that it ran on the AT&T; network but I just found out that it's actually a CDMA phone, probably on the crappy Sprint network, I get very weak signals where I live. I don't quite know what to do now... Return it to Walmart and lose half my 45 bucks in airtime credit I put in, or stick w/ it... I also was planning on installing a different SIM card from Straight Talk that I have, this one by AT&T;, can anyone give me advices? Thanks!

The phone is locked to AT&T so you cannot use it you are currently with another carrier e.g. Verizon. If you are already an AT&T GoPhone customer your phone number comes over to this new phone when you insert the SIM card from your old phone. Not sure what happens if you use a SIM from an AT&T contract phone.

Hello James, I know that with At&t; your hot spot will act like it's own device. Adding your hot spot to your account would be a lot like adding a tablet to your data plan You might be able to put your sim card from your phone into the hot spot, but I'm not 100% sure. I hope this helps. Thanks, Andrew

Hi,You have to unlock it first from AT&T.; I went on line to follow their unlocking process, but it didn't work and they kept saying that I was locked in a contract. I finally called them to request unlocking the phone, but they gave me a very hard time. It's unlocked now, and I was under no contract with AT&T; at the time of the unlocking. Any phone would have to be unlocked by the carrier company first before another carrier SIM card can be used, either in the US or any where in the world for that matter. I hope that helps.

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

Call AT&T; and tell them your old phone number and you have an old balance but that will only work if the balance has not expired . You will need to give them your new sim card number and the IME number to your new phone. They can even transfer your old number.

It's an AT&T; phone, I bought it bc I was going to put it on a METRO PCS plan but AT&T; won't unlock phones anymore unless you have all the previous info on the phone and proof that it was an AT&T; phone. The sites I tried to u lock it out viruses on my computer so I wouldn't try those. I caved and just ended up with AT&T.;

Ralf, there shouldn't be a problem. When you go through the activation process, pick the $25 plan (which has do data), and you should be good to go. Remember that AT&T; requires data for all smartphones. Therefore, if you want the $25 plan and add no data to it, you have to use the 15-zeros-IMEI trick. This is to make AT&T; think that you're on a "stupid-phone" and not on a smart one.
