If I already have a family share plan: can I buy this phone and transfer my current number over without any issues?

You can always add a new line (to get the 99 dollar amazon price), then cancel one of your older existing lines(not newly added line). You will pay an ETF of up to 175 but you'll still be way ahead on the price of the phone and you'll have your new toy. 175 plus 99 is still less than the 500 or 600 dollar full upgrade price.

I bought this phone as a replacement phone. I already had a phone number that I just transferred over.If you buy this phone you can contact Tracfone and request a phone number or transfer a number.Hope that helps.

Yes. You just go to straighttalk.com and you'll see a link to transfer your number

Yes you will, however you should know that once you transfer it you will never be able to use that phone with a different carrier. The service that I had with straight talk was awful and I wanted to change to another carrier so I had to end up buying another iPhone.

That should not be a problem. This one is unlocked, so you will own it outright and can either add it to your account (to replace an existing hotspot for instance) or do a pay as you go plan. That said, expect to have to take it to your local Verizon corporate store for assistance moving everything. I tried to activate mine online (pay as you go for travel), but had some issues and ended up taking it into the store and they took care of it no problem.

I've transferred numbers about a half-dozen times between phones on Virgin Mobile and it's very easy on their website. Just swapped my son's phone about two weeks ago, and the new phone was up and running within 10 minutes. This was moving from an older phone that was grandfathered in at $25/month to the newer phone at $35/month. It'll ask you to confirm that you're moving to a new pricing plan. But I did everything online and, as I said, it was 10 minutes and we were making test calls and text on the new phone.

only if the number you are transferring is an active number with carrier you are on now. It will take a few days to process, but check with your current cell provider.

Yes as long as you use the same SIM card or take the phone to your carrier. If you are switching carriers you will need your account number and PIN number from your current carrier to move your number.

Yes, You can transfer your number from your current carrier to Straight talk with an unlocked phone. I just used a company from Amazon to get the unlock key and I was good to go. Very easy process

If the phone you are buying was on verizon before then yes. Just go to a verizon store and have the phones swapped on your account. Make sure you wipe your old phone if you sell ir.

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.

I use my phone with my Verizon plan. I replaced my earlier cell phone when it wore out. You would need to check with Verizon to see if they will allow you to switch phones on your existing account without upgrading to a higher-priced plan. Depending on your plan It may require you to go to a supervisory level at Verizon for the approval. I ended up telling them I would cancel my plan and just buy a SIM card if I couldn't use the replacement phone on the cheap plan I have. They realized I wasn't bluffing and activated this phone in the account. I like the phone OK. The only down-side is the ringer is not really loud, so I keep it turned all of the way up and miss a few calls when I am in a noisy environment.

Yes...mine is Safelink service. You just gotta call them from another phone and they will tell you what changes to make on the phone and transfer your current balance of minutes over to this new phone. Also, make sure they have the text message function programmed properly on the new phone. When I first changed, it was charging me for texts when it shouldn't have because the proper changes weren't made when I first switched everything over.

I just confirmed with Verizon that I can activate this phone on my existing line without it affecting my account in any way. I do not have to use it as a prepaid phone. I can use it with my current plan.

no. you would either transfer the one you have or get one from your provider.

Not sure exactly but I just ordered/bought phone before Christmas, and just called Verizon and switched/transferred old one to this new one with no problems and it works just fine. However, I did but now no longer have a contract with them since mine expired a few years ago, but still using same plan and company......so it shouldn't matter. This phone is exactly as my old phone, just newer is all.

Yes, you will keep your plan. You lose it if you upgrade(get a new phone) from Verizon.
