I want to give this to my elderly parents. They have one now, can I have the same phone number transferred over to this one?

Yes. It might result in a short lapse while Tracfone handles the changeover for you.
144151
Yes, just call tracfone with the account info and they will transfer the phone number to the new phone.

Yes you can, in fact! All you have to do is call TracFone and follow the step-by-step instructions provided over the phone and everything should be fine with keeping the existing phone number.

I was able to switch my phone number from an old cell phone to this phone with Verizon. There are instructions on the website to do this.

I don't know. I sent the one back I bought because I couldn't use my old number. Sorry about that.

You can keep any telephone number you have but you need to port it to a service provider. If you need more info email me directly. Paul

Hi. You should be able as long as you do not go over 5 REN (as listed in the Obi202 manual). That is the Ringer Equivalence Number. Each phone device has a REN. Keep the total to below the listed 5 REN and you should be fine. I have mine to one wireless phone that is the main unit. The other three units are wireless to the main phone unit.

I'm sorry, we purchased this for an elderly family member and don't have access to it to confirm.

This phone was used as a spare so I did not look into using "my old number," but I think it is transferable. I would direct the question directly to BoostMobile. Here the link to http://www.boostmobile.com/search/?q=transfer%20number#search

The phone just rings like a normal land line. Yes just get a phone number/account from www.google.com/voice. I think you can transfer a number over for $25. Hook the OBi to the router with a cat 5 cable. Hook a phone to the Obi and pick up the receiver. Directions are simple after that. You will also need to go to the obitalk site and sign in with google. You can use it for one phone or feed the entire house with it for multiple phones. I think the Obi recommends the 110 if you feed the house, but the 100 worked for me but I dan't have any old style phones that might draw more power. Free phone, voice mail, call forwarding, voice mail to text. Can even search for phone numbers by letter designation names. Good luck.

You can transfer minutes if you transfer the phone number only. The minutes go with the number.

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

Sure, it's easy. Go online to your Verizon account and set it up - there's a number to call that programs the phone to your existing phone number. I like flip phones and this is my all-time favorite.

If you keep the same service carrier with active service, they should assist you. If you want to switch carriers, but keep your old number, things get difficult. I hope this helps..

Yes you can Lydia. Call them up and ask them to change phones for you. I had no problem doing it that way. 1-888-321-5880

She shouldn't have to. What I did was program each number key and then put a photo of the person who was going to be called over that key. Either way all your grandmother has to do is pick up the receiver and then press the number key for the person she is calling. The number then dials automatically. This phone has worked very well for my mother. No worries. Tom

Yes... I kept the same phone #. The # went from Verizon Landline to Time Warner Cable digital phone to AT&T; wireless home phone. I've had the same # since 1997. Check w/new provider to make sure # is transferable -- should be...

I bought this for my mother, so don't have it here to check, but I'm pretty sure you can use it with your home number. The owner's manual is available on Panasonic's website; you can see all the details there.
