Can you change your cell phone to another carrier and keep your cell phone?

Answer 1

Not usually, it depends on the carrier. The carriers use different technologies. Some of them use CDMA, like Verizon and Sprint. HOWEVER, only Verizon phones will work on Verizon because they lock them to do so. Carriers like At&T use the GSM network. These are the types of phones that have sim cards in them. Those phones are more interchangable. Yes, you can but you have to get a unlocked version of that phone and you can only use it for companys that use the same satelites as the company that your getting the original phone from

Answer 2

Yes.

The only thing to look out for is that the phone you purchase may be locked to the network you buy it from, meaning no other carriers sum cards will work in it. You may have to pay a fee to unlock it. So check with the salesperson before purchasing it.

Also, some plans must have a phone attached to them. The phone company I work for has a cap plan which can only be provisioned if you also get a phone as part of the contract. In this case, you could still put the sim card in the phone you have purchased separately, and sell the other one on ebay, or keep it as a spare.

Answer 3

Yes is is possible you just need a gsm network to do it the easiest way. to do that you have to find your cell phone modle. you will have to search the code to do it on Google but once again it is very possible.

Answer 4

Yes, if you either swap Sim cards or if you get it transferred by going to the store with the carrier that you would like it to be.
