Just to let you all know I purchased this phone last night and today I recieved and email giving me my NEW number which I dont want. I was told by Amazon I could change over my old number since I was renewing my contract. CAlled t-mobile today and they were like no you cant because Amazon started you a new account!

Unfortunately, no. Amazon only offers brand new service contracts, you don't qualify if you have existing service. You can cancel your service, open a new account, and once open request your old number back. (This is called MSISDN maintenance.) It's not guaranteed to work, but you get your number back 95% of the time within 24 hours of filing the request.

From the Amazon website: CONDITIONAL $250 Equipment Discount Included: Your price paid includes an Equipment Discount of $250 that has been provided to you in exchange for either activating a new, non-substitute line of service or renewing an existing line of service with T-MobileWhen it says "renewing an existing line of service" doesn't that imply that you can qualify for the discount? I have expired contract as well and am looking for a cheap phone upgrade without having to change my phone number and service plan.I got a reply from Amazon directly on this issue and they changed the wording on their web pages the next day. Basically, you cannot upgrade your phone and get a massive discount.

I run this phone on T-Mobile, which is a GSM carrier like AT&T.; I use a prepaid, no contract option.

I heard from a t-mobile customer service rep that this only works if the phone has been "off the shelf" by March 2013, because T-mobile put a restriction on all prepaid phones still on the shelves at that time, to have to use prepaid SIM cards for 6 months before switching over to a post-paid plan. She said that you need to contact the seller specifically to ask if their phone will work with post-paid plans.

Yes, as long as your phone uses a sim card you can use any unlocked phone. T-mobile however has a few issues. The T-Zone or myFaves features won't work so if you use those features you probably wouldn't want an unlocked phone.

You can activate the $30 and 100 minutes plan online thru Tmobile when you get your phone. I did it. No problems.

It is possible to use att sim card if it's unlocked. Even if the phone shows t-mobile logo on start up seller might unlocked it before selling it to you. However t-mobile and att use different bands and LTE data might not work, as well as coverage might be not that great as it would be with att phone.

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.

Call T Mobile. I use this phone on my existing plan, not as a prepaid plan. The important thing is that the phone is a T Mobile phone. It is very flexible. You should be able to get the plan you want if T Mobile has that plan.

a contract is what you sign when you go to a cellphone company like sprint so its better to buy a phone without one its cheaper and when a cellphone is unlocked it is able to be used on any company with a sim card like say you have a at&t phone and you want to use it on t-mobile you can as long as it is unlocked .what company do you have?

I did that by moving the SIM card from my old phone (which was also a T-Mobile prepaid phone) to the new one. If you have questions, call T-Mobile and they'll talk you through it. Any unused minutes you had can also be transferred.

I recently bought a locked tmobile phone from the tmobile store. They told me after two months of using the account I could get it unlocked. My wife has has been a long term tmobile customer and they always have given her an unlock code after a few months of using a new phone.

just call tmobile and have them activate the sim. then you just put it in the phone. you dont need to "activate the phone." your tmobile account is all stored in your sim. what phone you use doesnt matter to them and gsm doesnt store any account info in your device. your phone number is in your sim, not the phone. you can use kelly's suggestion and just get an internet plan if that's all you want. but this phone does not need the smartphone plan. you can get it to work with the $10 internet plan. so you're probably better off with the Even More Plus 500 Talk plan. it is basically like prepaid. there's no contract. but it's a little better because you still get your bill at the end of the month like a regular account. theres no credit check. and it's 29.99 + 10 (internet) = 39.99. So for the same price as the internet only service, you can have unlimited internet AND 500 minutes (+ unlimited nights, weekends, and mobile to mobile). For $10 more you can also add unlimited texting. If you get a non-smartphone plan ($10), the only thing you need to change in your phone is: Settings &gt; Internet Connections &gt; Connections &gt; T-Mobile Internet + Edit &gt; Next &gt; Access Point Name: internet2.voicestream.com Leave username and password blank. Make sure the box is unchecked. Click Finish. (Click the blurry area above the other windows to close them out) Hope this helps :)

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

I bought this phone and it does say tmobile on it. I have tmobile. Although just a little fyi this phone is from the stone ages. It isn't like an android phone where you can download apps and what not. It has the old tmobile internet. Its not a horrible phone just out of date.

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.

Yes. The phone you use doesn't matter as long as it's a Verizon phone, of course. Verizon wants to make sure they keep providing you phone service, that's the real reason for the contract. Good luck if you purchase the phone:-)
