1.) Behind your cell phone battery there should be a SIM card, which is a small rectangular or squar removable chip. Simply replace the SIM card from your original phone to the new phone.

2.) Call your cell phone carrier via their customer/tech support phone line. Inform them you wish to switch numbers from your old cell phone to a new one. Remove the battery from your new phone and on the back will be two series of numbers. Your operator will first ask you to read off your phone make and model. After that you will be asked to read them the numbers on the back of the phone behind the battery.From there you will go through a series of menu and reset procedures depending on your phone model that your operator should guide you through.

Contact your service provider and ask for a new sim card. You will be charged a small amount for this. You can also insert a SIM card with a different number on it, from another provider, as long as your phone is unlocked. Some handsets will only work with SIM cards from one provider. Most phone outlet shops have the facility to unlock it.(again for a charge).

If you want to stay with the same phone company - simply call them and request a new number. They'll send you a new SIM card.

If you want to switch to a different company - you'll need to get the handset unlocked. Your current provider can do it or you can take it to any phone shop - either way you'll pay a small fee for the service. Then just call the company you want to use - and they'll send you a SIM card.

Buy Extra Cell Phone Batteries When You Like Your Phone?

Cell phone models change quickly, and there is no guarantee the phone you have now will have new batteries available when you want them in a year or two. If you plan on keeping your cellphone for longer than a couple of years, it makes sense to invest in extra cell phone batteries while you can. Keep one extra battery on hand and swap it out once your cellphone stops lasting as long as you want it to last on a charge. If you haven't used it within a year, swap your batteries at that point to protect your charge.
