If I put my sim card from my old t-mobile prepaid phone into this phone will it work and keep my old phone number?

Yes as long as the sim card is active. Your phone number is tied to the sim card, not the actual phone. If the sim card has been deactivated, call the carrier first to make sure they will reactive it and verify the number. When sim cards are deactivated, the number becomes available for reassignment.

I think so. I wanted a new number so got a new one (for free) from the T-Mobile store, but I believe if you transfer your old one, it will work.

Yes, you will be able to use it. However, I didn't like the phone, it keep overheating and not allowing me to place a call from it.

Yes, I have never used mine as a prepaid. Once I inserted the new sim card from T-Mobile it works like any other phone.

The unlocked phone works fine with T-Mobile prepaid. Any simm card should work in an unlocked GSM phone.

Yes... I have the t-mobile family plan and that is what I used. You just call t-mobile or through their website, update your line with the new SIM card number.

Yes, you can keep your old number. Just use your SIM card from your old phone.

It's unlocked forever, you pull your SIM card out and put it into the new phone, and it will work on T-Mobile, but you won't get 3G data.

Yes! This phone takes a normal-sized SIM card (not the mini SIM card). You take your SIM card out of your current phone and put it in this one. But remember, this is a GSM phone, for AT&T; or T-Mobile networks. NOT for a Verizon network. So, hopefully your old phone was on a GSM network and you can just put the SIM card from that phone into this one. 'Hope that answers your question.

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.

If you have a sim to swap, then yes! If the older device is only 3g, then it wont have a sim, and this will be no help.

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.

People saying yes are partly correct but it depends on the SIM card. T-mobile has 2 sizes of SIM cards, and if you're an existing contract customer trying to stick your SIM card into a non-contract phone, it may not work. I would call them before purchasing anything, although at worst you'd just need to get a new SIM card and transfer the account.

I am not sure. You would have to call T Mobile to see if they still make the sim card for this item.

If it is prepaid you should be ok. I had a t-moble smart phone and took the sims card out installed it in my new phone and it works fine.

Yes you can keep your old phone number/SIM card, but you won't get the free air time. The free air time is only for new accounts and new activations. Be sure that this phone is compatible with your current wireless service. If you don't have AT&T; or possibly PureTalk USA, you may not be able to use this phone.

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.

Just move your sim card from your old phone to the new one. If you get an error message then you may need to take the phone to an at&t; store to get a new sim card. But your number will stay the same
