I am a monthly prepaid T-Mobile customer; if I buy this phone, can I replace a phone on my Family Plan with this one?

Everything about your account is on the SIM card. You can move it to any T-Mobile or unlocked GSM phone and have the same phone number and account balance that you had on your old phone.

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.

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

NO,I made the mistake of purchasing this same phone to replace an old phone I have with Verizon. When I kept having trouble trying to activate it, I called a Verizon Rep. & he said unless the phone has been used on a "Prepaid" plan for 6 months, they can't connect it to your Verizon acct. I had to return it and get one that wasn't "prepaid". Make sure you read all the fine print in the item description. If you find one that's not "prepaid" as I eventually did, it will work just fine.

It depends. The card it's credit that you can use it in any prepaid T-mobile line but if you want to use it for unlimited data plan, you have to get prepaid monthly plan first (no contract or anything.. $50, $60 or $70)

I'm not 100 percent but if it's att you might be able to. We have a prepaid plan through Walmart family mobile which supports mostly Tmobile unless unlocked and it works fine. I would recommend calling your gophone customer service and ask them if you can use an unlocked phone because if you got to use top up cards it might not let you. Let me know what you find out! :-) and good luck.this is honestly a great phone to have.

I have been using the phone with a prepaid monthly plan. (Costs me about $54.) I would call their customer service regarding phone cards. And while this is generally a great phone, Verizon customer service SUCKS in my experience. And on top of that, I was actually told by a Verizon sales clerk at one of their stores that prepaid phones utilize fewer cellular towers, which may explain why my phone has little to no reception in an area, while my husband's T-Mobile prepaid phone was fine.

Yes you can. Its just called a prepaid phone because it doesnt come with a contract

Yes, but you will need a TMobile sim card which doesn't come with the phone. If you're already a TMobile customer, then you already have a TMobile sim card in your current phone; just remove it, and install it into the new phone. But if your current phone isn't a smartphone, then you'll need a new sim card from TMobile. Just call them, and they'll gladly send you a new one. You do not need to unlock this phone if you plan to use it with TMobile.

Not anymore. You can just call T-mobile or go to their store and ask for this specific plan.

Hello Timothy,You should be able to, but I am not 100% certain of this since I do not have experience with doing that. I've only used the same phone to switch sim cards and to a new prepaid plan. There is a lot of info online how to unlock this phone. Please ask AT&T; regarding your contact and if this is possible to switch phones. Thanks, Nathaniel

If your family mobile sim card is of tmobile, you can cut it and use. But if it is some other carrier it doesn't work. This mobile is locked to Tmobile and it doesn't accept other carriers unless it is unlocked by tmobile.

you can go to t mobile support and ask them. but so long as it is not a phone where you have to buy minutes in advance, it should work

I am pretty sure you can, these phones are unlocked so I am not sure why you couldn't use it prepaid.

You should be able to , seeing as all this does is put money into your account.Its like a credit on your tmobile account. Its just used to add funds to the PAY FOR THE PLAN YOU'RE ALREADY ON

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!
