I ordered MF019LL/A (Verizon) but was shipped MF018LL/A (ATT). To change to Verizon do I just remove the ATT sim and insert a Verizon sim? The sims seem to be relatively inexpensive ($5 - $15) so that will be easy? The cell phone capability is not hard...

Doesn't look like anyone responded to you... but it does appear that is possible. I won't take credit or blame if it works or doesn't, but others have tested that successfully.

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 believe you would have to contact the carrier (T-Mobile) to do this. Once they enter the new number in their computer system it changes the number on your phone. I ported my number from another carrier when I switched to T-Mobile and the whole changing of the number took only minutes. You can also switch sim cards and when you activate the new sim card a new number would be assigned. Hope this helps.

You can either cut it with templates founds on the internet or head down to your provider and ask for a mini sim card. they will probably charge you for the new sim card. I'd suggest cutting it first then if it fails head down to your cell provider

I noticed this too. I also went to ATT's site and set up a mock plan which does have the option. I'm looking to switch and am wondering if I sign up through Amazon will I be able to go in store and switch to the $30 unlimited messaging family plan? This guy doesn't want to get hosed 120 bucks a year for signing up on Amazon.

Hi there! I really appreciate your post. So I am wondering though, you did not have no problem buying this phone on Amazon and dealing with At&t;? It seems that everything went smooth for you! Is there anything else that I need to know. Thanks L.Beltran!

You can just put your sim card in the phone if you already have AT&T;, no need to do anything else. If you have some other cell company and want to change to AT&T; than just take the phone to them and they will set you up.

Hi Maria. You have go get someone on the phone from Verizon that knows which phone you are talking about. It might take a long time (it did for me), but ask for someone who has been there for awhile and they will know which phone you are talking about. They will walk you through and give you a ton of special instructions to get the phone activated. You have to be patient. I wish I wrote the steps down, but I didn't.

Yes! You just take it to your cell phone carrier and have them change it over. Make sure the phone you purchase has the same carrier as you use or it won't work. Enjoy!

Hi John, You need to go to Verizon to have it convert to prepaid SIM before you can use is as prepaid. Sincerely, Bargain & Savings

I only have the Verizon version. Not aware of if there is a SIM version If there is then why not? Make sure you do not get one formatted for Verizon

Verizon will not charges you a penny for that as far as I know and you could change the MEID # via login into your Verizon account Via Web. once you exchange the MEID to new device dial *228 .

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!!

Yes, had no problem changing over. Damaged my last phone so I bought this one. Went to Verizon store and they activated it. All works fine.

I actually was on AT&T; so, I moved the sim in and they typed in the *activation number - I know that was an issue for me but, I got it. Now mine are on T-Mobile, similar - wasn't just turn it off - the time-zone had an issue with this as well. Hope this helps.

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.

In my experience, I did change phones without a change in my basic plan - with Verizon. Sometimes you can do this on - line but it took a phone call to Verizon to complete the change
