It's rather simple.. Just take out the SIM card from your previous phone and put it in your new one. Your number will remain same, because it depends on the SIM and not the handset.

How do you you keep iPhone number with a different provider?

The key buzzword is "Number Portability." In the USA and Canada, you can "port" your phone number to a different provider in most cases, even including porting a mobile phone (cell phone) number to a landline, or vice-versa. In many other countries, you can port your mobile phone number to a different mobile provider, but not to a landline. Contact the new company you want to do business with and ask about the availability of number portability.

Can you have the same phone number?

If you mean 'can you have the same phone number as someone else' - the answer is no (how will the phone network decide if a call is for you or the other person !) If you mean 'can you keep your number and move to another provider' - the answer is yes. (though with a mobile number you may have to pay a fee)


Do you get a new SIM card when you get a new phone?

Yes, you do get a new number with mobile phones, but if you had a phone before and want to keep that same number for your new phone, you can keep your old number. Most companies will charge a small fee for that, but if keeping your old number is important to you then it is worth it.


What cell phone company carries a 202 area code and prefix 569?

Area code 202 is Washington, D.C. Mobile numbers are portable, meaning that you can change mobile carriers but keep your phone number. That means that you can't tell by the number which carrier serves a particular number. In fact, you can even port a cell phone number to a landline, or vice-versa.
