will T-Mobile transfer this phone in place of my current phone account?

If you are using T-Mobile currently, all you have to do is to take the SIM out of your current phone and put it in this phone, and it is good to go. No need to even call T-Mobile. Because the service goes with the SIM.

It does have a place for the SD card, so if you have your info on the SD card, you can transfer your info onto this phone. As far as switching out a phone for one with the same phone number is very easy. You just have to call VM.

Hmmm this is an interesting thread. I am in the exact situation as the OP. I am getting conflicting information, so help me out with this:Can I just transfer my sim card to the N8 and use all of it's features without signing up for a data plan? Will T-Mobile be able to detect if my phone is a smart phone if all I do is access the internet through wifi? I don't want anything to change with my plan, money is already tight. Would it really be necessary for me to call Tmobile and request that they not allow any data access? Wouldn't that tip them off to the fact that I bought an unlocked phone?

Yes. But it has to be the micro SIM card. If you don't have one, tmobile can switch one out for you.

yes. We just took it to the ATT Store and they activated it for service on our existing account.

You'll have to get the SIM mini card. This phone takes the smallest one and a trip to T-Mobile would ease your pain. They can take it out and update the card in the store.

Not in my case. I had a prepaid T-Mobile phone already. I just transferred the SIM card to the new phone.

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.

Go to one T mobile store and ask them to help you transfer everything from old phone to LG G2

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

My friend as I understand the $30 is only for DATA, I guess you also may need to add a regular plan to talk, even a prepaid one. As per the T-Mobile SIM CARD, yes you will be able to use it as long as you have a MICRO SIM CARD, not a regular one, you will need an adaptor if you want to swap all your contacts from your old phone.

No, I had no issues removing the SIM from my old unit and putting it in this one. I did have to call T-Mobile to have them sync them SIM with the new equipment ID.

I use this phone with my T Mobile plan that I already had from another phone and from which I transferred my SIM card from too.

You should be able to transfer you number over, however, you will need to have a data plan or Verizon will assign you one & charger you for it.

If you T-Mobile customer service they should be able to help you. You should be able to port your old number if you want.
