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.

Yes, you can port your existing number to PhonePower. I did the same when I switched to PhonePower. They will guide you through the phone number porting process.

No, this isn't a pre-paid phone. You have to have it activated by Verizon. They'll assign it a new number or transfer an existing number you have on your old phone.

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.

if you want to keep your old number you will have to go to an at&t store. i had verizon before i had this phone and I purchased it at the at&t store where they were able to import my old number.

Yes, that is what I did with this phone. My son had another older model LG that was acting up and rather than buying or getting new phone for free from Verizon and committing to another 2 year contract, I simply bought this LG and replaced his old LG. With Verizon, they allow you to switch phones easily from home without any service charge or penalties. You can visit Verizon's website and they have instructions on switching phones along with transferring your address book over to the new phone. As for the pictures, you'll have to buy an SD card to transfer the memory from your old old phone to the new phone. Good luck.

Yes they will assign a new number and they ask you what area code you will most be using the phone in. I've even changed my number, using an area code way off where I'm actually located just to mess with friend. Hope this helps. Happy Hollidays!!!!

I contacted cingular about this very same issue. They told me I could do it, and it was worth the money I would save, however they said I could not transfer my old number. I'm not sure if the guy I was talking to was knowlegable or qualified enough to say this...and I for one dont really trust him

Hello Kathy,In most cases, you can keep your existing phone number by porting it. To port your number, your account with the other carrier must be active and cannot be under contract. Please contact us at 1(800)733-6632. We can verify the portability of your number and provide you with additional details on the process.

This one is Verizon. I do not know if it is transferable to other providers.

Oh no on contact transfers. You go to Verizon Wireless, set up an account for that phone number, transfer from your old phone to computer, then transfer back to new phone. It was not that hard. But a pain to do one by one without this account. Look for it on Verizon Wireless.
