yes she can and you'd have to give permission. My phone used to be under my father's name cuz i was too young but then i changed it to my name with his permission.

I called t-mobile and asked about this. You get the phone shipped to you, at that time it has a new number. You call T-mobile immediately and give them the info for the transfer from your old company. T-mobile then puts the request in, so you don't ever have to talk to your old company again (so long as you are not on contract!). They said it should take less than a day.

From what I was told as long as both accounts are in the same name it should be no problem

All cell numbers are portable but you really need to find out how Amazon does the transfer, or IF Amazon WILL do it. Perhaps it is covered in amazon's 'Help' area. good luck.

What if I have a t-mobile contract for 2 lines, can my wife sign up for 2 lines on her name, and can I keep my new numbers?

You can keep your old number. Either use your old sims card (if it is originally from at&t;) or when you set your phone up, choose the option of keeping an existing number.

Hi Jay and Bernadine. I did purchase this phone from an Amazon supplier (I'm currently with Sprint, but I'm not much of a Techie. So, regretfully, I don't know the answer to your question. I can look on my shipping box, find out specifically who mailed the phone to me, ask them your question and get an answer for you, if you'd like. Please let me know. My email address is fkendrick39@yahoo.com. Sorry I wasn't of much help, but let me know if you'd like for me to investigate further for you.

Hi, Christy K.Is this a phone you are trying to purchase from AMAZON? I bought one that was Sprint ready last year, after my phone was stolen. I made sure it was supported by Sprint before I purchased it. I had no problems activating it. I hope this helps you.Rob H.

Not sure if she can keep her old phone #. You can call to find out. The phone is very easy to use. My mom who is 83 has no problems using this phone. It was very easy to set up service. Their costumer service people were excellent.

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 Doris, the phone I bought on Amazon is for Verizon. Just put in "sprint phone" in the Amazon search and one will come up.

I don't think you can. When I got the phone, it said sprint on it. Other phone companies might not let you use it.

I loved this phone when I got it from sprint. I bought the same phone from a seller on amazon for boost mobile and it was a piece of junk. I bought a different phone an went back to sprint.

I wish I could answer that for you. I am not sure when Sprint would make you change to a different contract. I can tell you....that the phone is a great phone for a basic phone. Hope it works out for you.Sometime ago I had dropped this phone and it didn't work,,,,so I bought another off of Amazon...and went to a Sprint and they helped me with getting my contact info switched over. So perhaps the same idea would happen here...Good Luck and Merrry Christmas....Julie

Yes you can keep your old phone number/SIM card, but you won't get the free air time. The free air time is only for new accounts and new activations. Be sure that this phone is compatible with your current wireless service. If you don't have AT&T; or possibly PureTalk USA, you may not be able to use this phone.

I spoke with a salesman at both Sprint and Boost Mobile and the answer is "YES". I had the same questions as well. First of all, do not cancel your existing account and pay all pending charges and you can transfer your number.

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!!!!

Thank you VERY MUCH...So let me see if I completely understand this:1) I buy an unlocked phone2) I take the card out of my sprint phone, and put it into the unlocked phone.3) the new unlocked phone WORKS.Is that correct?Are there services that will NOT work when I do things this way? For instance, this phone can browse the internet, and act as a modem. Do I lose those services (or others) if I buy the phone unlocked and use it on Sprint?Thank you again, I really appreciate your time.Dmitri

yes you can keep your old number if you are replacing your old micro Sim or lost it.

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

If you T-Mobile customer service they should be able to help you. You should be able to port your old number if you want.
