I'm an existing Cingular customer. Can I keep my phone # if I sign on to the 2 year contract through Amazon? I'm not in a contract with Cingular at the moment, just month to month.Thank you

Cingular and Amazon.com have not yet established a method for customers to transfer their current number to a new Cingular account. Your price paid includes an Equipment Discount of $250 that has been provided to you by this Cingular-authorized agent for activating a new non-substitute line of service with Cingular, and maintaining this new line of service with the selected rate plan in good standing for a minimum of 181 consecutive days. If you choose to purchase a Cingular phone through this Cingular-authorized agent and port your number with Cingular, you herein agree to a $250 reimbursement to be paid to this Cingular-authorized agent. See full service requirements. If you choose to purchase a Cingular phone through Amazon and don't want to port your number, you will not be charged $250. We hope to offer a porting option in the coming months, so please check back.

Do believe you can. Your best bet is to take the phone so someone at the company can show you a sim card. It would just be from the same t mobile.

That is not what I found. I talked with a customer service rep and she said that a $250 charger per new phone would be assessed if you port and old number from another carier into a new cingular account that you are purchasing from amazon.com I must say that the rep sounded kind of clueless but what she said was backed by written policies on the website. It's a shame though because the additional money to port makes the phones not worth the money

When you activate your account, you will be assigned a number. After that, if you want, you should be able to transfer an existing number if you wish.

Yes you can. I had the same situation. You can actually call Verizon to change phones.

Yes you can. I also use t-mobile. I bought a t-mobile Samsung t139 and just reused the SIM card from my old cell phone. That kept my number + my contact list.

As long as its not a prepaid phone you can. I bought the same phone on amazon. When I got it I took it to Verizon and they activated it for me. I kept my same number too. But this one says prepaid. Try searching for the one that's not prepaid

i believe so. i just upgraded and got this in the mail today. i entered my information as a "existing customer," and after entering my info and purchasing the phone, i got an email from amazon saying the following... " Congratulations, Cingular Wireless has notified us that you are eligible to upgrade to a new phone with a contract extension through Amazon.com. We are proceeding with your order and you will receive a ship-confirmation e-mail once your order has shipped." I have yet to be charged that scary $250 fee or recieve notice otherwise, so I assume all is well!. I guess the way that they do this is that if you are eligible to upgrade, by purchasing this phone, you are back on a 2 yr contract with them- so they offer you a discount on the phone in doing this. Hope this helps! I was scared too- just read read read for answers- good luck!

Amazon only sell the phone. As for the plan, you have to buy from T-Mobile since it's locked to T-Mobile, otherwise you have to pay to unlock the phone and may use wireless carrier of your choice.

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

I'm with Verizon, I called them and gave them pertinent numbers. I had no problems in transferring the use of my old cell phone to the new-used one. Calling your carrier would be the certain way to know this particular model can be utilized by your carrier's network.

I bought the phone from amazon. I already had a sim card in my previous phone I got from T-mobile and just put the card in this phone. You have to go into a store that handles T-Mobile if you are not already signed up. They will sell you 1000 minutes for $100 or smaller amounts of minutes for less. Look at T-mobile website for "no contract" info. No minutes come with phone from amazon. Tmobile will assign you a phone # when you purchase minutes.

You can transfer your number if you switch service providers. Go to the Amazon Wireless Help Center for more information. An important requirement is that when you sign up for a new contract, your billing name and address must be exactly the same.

Hello. I was wondering if someone could help me with a question. I currently have an AT&T; Go Phone and I would like to upgrade my phone to the LG Prime Go Phone. I was wondering if I will be able to keep my current phone number, as well as roll over my prepaid minutes account balance, which is currently about $120. Will there be any fees involved in switching to a different Go Phone? Will I be able to have the $50 air time credit promotion through amazon applied to my existing Go Phone balance? Thanks!

Yes, You can transfer your number from your current carrier to Straight talk with an unlocked phone. I just used a company from Amazon to get the unlock key and I was good to go. Very easy process

Yes you plan and number has nothing to do with SIM card, simply call Tmobile and they will update your account with the new SIM card! Happy shopping �
