Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / November 2007T-mobile to go - Get New Phone and keep old number ?
I have a defective Nokia T-Mobile to Go phone. I need to replace it but would like to keep the old number and transfer my minutes to the new phone. Is that possible? >I have a defective Nokia T-Mobile to Go phone. I need to replace it but would >like to keep the old number and transfer my minutes to the new phone.

All you need to do is slide it out of the old phone, slip it into the new one, and your old number is just there.

Can I assume that a SIM card for a Nokia 6010 (not under warranty) will work in a Motorola V195 which is what I'm thinking of getting? If I buy the new phone, do I activate it first or just put the SIM card from the old phone into the new phone and the new phone will work automagically? >>> I have a defective Nokia T-Mobile to Go phone.

Open box. Remove new phone. Open old phone. Open new phone Remove Sim Card from old phone. Place Sim Card in new phone. Close new phone. Turn on new phone. Use, new phone. Optionally: Place new Sim Card in old phone. Activate Sim Card. Use up starter minutes. Throw phone in drawer. >>>> I have a defective Nokia T-Mobile to Go phone.

Sounds simple to do. > Optionally: > Place new Sim Card in old phone. > Activate Sim Card. > Use up starter minutes. > Throw phone in drawer. Old phone has a broken "Enter" key so I can't do anything with it except throw it out. > Old phone has a broken "Enter" key so I can't do anything with it except > throw it out. Might be repairable - depending on *how* it's broken. Maybe as much as a $5 "parts phone" from the swap meet. You could sell it for parts yourself.
