My Dad is behind the times and wants this phone. We have Verizon. Can I transfer his number to this phone?

It's a great, easy, simple phone and men can press the dial buttons without hitting two at once and ending up in Bombay. Transfering phone numbers is easy, just ask your service to use the port system and transfer. I prefer the prepay plan because I only use it for emergencies.

I'm also behind the times and I'm not going to ever catch-up..and I was able to transfer my Verizon number to my new phone, it was easy!

If it is locked by verizon, no, you cannot transfer the old number. If it is an unlocked phone, then you can transfer the number.

with open networks now you should be able to transfer the SIM card. First ask if Verizon has open programing now

Yes.... with one caveat..... your contacts must have been previously backed up to the Verizon website. If they were you can download your own contacts to your new phone.

Yes, that is what I did. My existing phone was having issues so I bought this new one and had verizon transfer my contacts and number to it without having to renew my contract.

Yes, you should be able to transfer it. We replaced broken phones with this phone, on our Verizon plan. It is a good value, inexpensive and provides the basics of talk, text, and pictures. Plus, by buying it from Amazon, you are not extending your contract!

I don't know if you can transfer a call or not....whenever I need to change phones, I just carry the handset with me, and pick up another phone. I hope you don't have satellite phone, because the transmission of calls really SUCK!

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

No, you don't want it to come with a phone number. It is set to factory settings, and you get it activated with Verizon. They will give you the new phone number.

Yes. Just remove the SIM card from your previous smart phone. (You will need to have a data plan on your current contract) Place your SIM card in the new phone. The device will run through a wizard set up, soon after it should connect to the Verizon services.

You don't even need to take it to Verizon. You can literally handle it all over the phone. My dad is 70 and I got him this phone. It's extremely durable and the speaker seems pretty loud. He texts me also using it so the keys are a decent size and they have a bit of a raise to them. Anyway hope that helps.

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, if you bring it to Verizon they will transfer all your existing contact information and pictures if applicable.

dial *228 and that should bring you to the Verizon programming service to transfer your service onto this device!!!!

Maybe, if you have it "unlocked." I purchased the phone specifically to replace my son's phone on my Verizon account.

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

Yes, it can be changed over. Typically you need a Verizon contract phone and that's what this is. It should work.Thank you for your interest,ClaytonRecellulartoo
