I just tried to transfer my old number from Verizon and now my boost account is not working at all and customer service sucks! I don't advise transferring your number after this experience. Everything was working fine until I did this.

When I activated my phone online, it asked if I wanted to transfer my old number and I checked yes. You will need to provide your current account information for the carrier you currently have. As long as boost doesn't run into any problems with them, it should transfer over fine. I think mine took less than 24 hours.

I would like to know can I switch my Blackberry boost mobile phone for the LG Venice phone. Would they switch my plan or do I have to start a new plan?

Boost Mobile can transfer your number from your old company. Your old company may need verification from you that you want to transfer your number. After your old company releases your number, it should take less than 12 hours to get the transfer completed.

I believe Boost uses CDMA and this phone is GSM. So, it will not work with boost.

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.

If your current phone is not android...then yes it will go up in your bill. But this phone is not worth it...I got rid of it 3 months after purchase. You need to ask a boost mobile rep. to be 100% sure how much it will go up.

no sim card with boost mobile. however, nor space for same, , uses mini-sd card, which on old unit let me transfer all numbers to 16 gig card with plenty of space left over and insert into new identical phone so all phone numbers are saved.

You can activate it. I would suggest going to a boost store if you are not already set up on boost. If you want to keep your old phone number again I would suggest going to the store.

At the time it was just a boost phone however now most phone carrier's allow you to bring any phone to their service. It should not be a issue. I would check with the service provider prior just in case. though

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

You can, but it does take some time. Make sure you don't cancel your Verizon account until the transfer is complete, or you will lose your number. It would probably be easiest to buy the phone at a store and have them set it up with your Verizon number to begin with rather than order it in the mail and then try to have the number changed.

I simply took it to my carrier's showroom and asked for a mini sim.. Cutting is one way, but there's a possibility of accidentally ruining the copper connections and hence the sim. My advice- take it to ur carrier and tell them that u bought a new phone and require a mini sim instead of the one u have. Addl. Details: my carrier is t-mobile and they switched the sims without any addnl. charge. I didn't have to change my number either. I'm not on any contract. Hope this helps. Lemme know if u have any further questions.

should have a quick start guide with everything you need to activate it with the phone. Worst case call boost and they can talk you through it.

Yes you can (I'm doing that right now.) Just move the SIM card with your current plan to the new phone. Everything on your account will stay the same. It's a nice phone, BTW. Much better than my Samsung "Dart" smart phone, which it replaced.

These phones are GSM, and will work with any carrier with provides GSM service. Boost is a resellar, and as such uses the cell systems of other carriers. You will need a Sim card from Boost for this to work, if they do provide GSM coverage. You might consider picking up a prepaid card if they offer one for a few dollars just to see if it works.

Good morning! Unfortunately I have no idea because I just bought it temporarily because my other phone with Boost Mobile broke and this one was for Boost users! Ciao ...

I have not used that option. I had to take my phone to a BOOST store and have it reset. I'm seriously considering sending it back because regardless of where I am I seldom have more than two bars for coverage. A friend has a Galaxy using BOOST service and has been very happy with it. This is the only reason I went with BOOST. Think seriously before mail ordering a phone. If I change phones I will now have the headache of dealing with Amazon to return it. Good luck with your choice!

Don't know but probably not. I was able to contact Boost Mobile (by email, not a live person) and asked if I could use my Sprint Evo for Boost. I was told Boost doesn't support Sprint phones...even though they're supposedly the same network.
