If you already have a Boost Plan with Shrinkage based on a 3G phone, and you buy this phone, does your Shrinkage get re-set to the starting price?

Can I use my old sim card from other phone on this one. I have a lot of pics on it hate to not be able to use it

If you were grandfathered in at the old android shrinkage that was $35 at the lowest, once you switch phones you will be bumped up to the new $40 at lowest rate. Just keep an eye out if you don't get this phone make sure whatever you chose has shrinkage our current shrinkage package is now $50 flat rate if you buy any new series phones.

Your Boost price will increase to $40 because this phone has 4G on it. This is what happened when I bought this phone.

All signs point to no. If you get it on Verizon, it'll only work on Verizon. There are options, though. If you have enough money to buy the phone outright instead of going on contract, you can sell it on eBay once you switch to Sprint for pretty close to retail. You might lose $50-$80 selling it used, though. If money really is a concern, it'd be best to just wait until you are on T-Mo. The price of the GS3 might have even gone down by then!

@ETphonehome:yes. i've been using Nokia 5800 for the past 7 months using $15 data plan and I can enable/disable it any time I want. Samsung Eternity is an ATT branded phone that I received when I signed a new contract. I sold that phone long time ago. But ATT assumes that I'm enabling data plan to be used on Samsung eternity (hence the $15 plan).ATT only requires $30 plan for 'ATT-branded smartphones'. Not sure how long this policy will keep up. They could probably flag your line if you use *too* much data, I guess. I've used around maximum of 500 MB per month and it's been ok. Best part is free tethering with Nokia S60 phones :) @ETphonehome:yes. i've been using Nokia 5800 for the past 7 months using $15 data plan and I can enable/disable it any time I want.

I think the plan where you pay $15 every three month is gone. They went up to $20 a month before they discontinued this plan. I still have it but I think it's because I've been grandfathered. You need to check with Virgin Mobile. Ask if they still have the $15 for three months and when they say no, ask if they have one like it. I also only use mine for emergencies and I continue to accumulate minutes. But since you are starting out you may want to look around. I don't find Virgin Mobile as good a deal as some others and they're a pain to deal with. I only remain with them because I've got so many accumulated minutes.

That was so long ago, I don't remember. What I do remember was that it took at least 5 hours to activate the phone and I ended up sending it back and cancelling the service. They do have an 800 number that would probably give you the answer. Also, the advertised monthly rate does not include all kinds of taxes, which increased the price considerably and was another reason I cancelled. Hope this is helpful to you.

I would like to know can I switch my Blackberry boost mobile phone for the LG Venice phone. Would they switch my plan or do I have to start a new plan?

If you purchase this phone you have to go with boost. If you have another carrier just search the same type of phone with your carrier's name.

Hi,I am also wanting to upgrade 3 phones and obviously have a family plan. When I try to buy this, it is forcing me to take a plan also for each phone, which I do not want. Any ideas if I will be able to keep my existing plan. I called up Cingular and they had no clue. Amazon says that they will cancel the plans that I am buying.Also will I be eligible for the Cingular and Amazon rebates.

No. Boost is CDMA paltform and You must buy phones that stated are for Boost ,

No. You can only use a Boost prepaid plan with this phone. Only plans that come with this phone are a $3 a day plan for unlimited everything or $50 for unlimited a month.

NO, it is a Boost Mobile/Sprint phone and it will take days to activate while they chase their internal tails confirming you didn't steal it from the previous month to month cash customer. Amazon should be ashamed for selling crap like this.

If your current phone is not android...then yes it will go up in your bill. But this phone is not worth it...I got rid of it 3 months after purchase. You need to ask a boost mobile rep. to be 100% sure how much it will go up.

Dear Jeremiah L.The phone that I am selling is a used AT&T; GO PHONE. It is no longer available for sale, but if it was you would need to contact AT&T; or go to one of their store locations in your area to see if you could use your present plan.SincerelyMichael Sterling

NO in fact if your not careful the phone can lock it self and you will not be able to use it again. This happened to a few months back it some how reest it self to the person before that had it was a refrubished phone, they it is smart phone but it can keep up withe the new 3 g net work and it so out of date I would not recoomend you get it.

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!

no if it replaces an existing phone. If your starting a new line then they will have some type of basic 2 year package.

Yes, I contacted Sprint and the representative told me that if you take a Sprint phone to your nearest Boost Mobile Store they will flash the phone and you'll be able ot use it on their network. Boost Mobile also run's on Sprint's network anyway, so it should work on Boost Mobile you will have to have it flashed and that will cost most likely anywhere from $20-30$ dollars and then it will be ready to use on Boost.
