Does my sim card transfer my cell phone number?

Question

I have T-mobile and want to get a new phone. I don't want to purchase through t-mobile and tack on another 2 year contract. Will transferring my SIM card to another cell phone, unlocked or t-mobile branded, automatically transfer my cell number and NOT require me to activate ($fee) it?

Answer 1

your sim card is your "ID" -- it holds your phone number, the people in your contact lists, messages etc. if you transfer your t-mobile sim card to another phone (t-mobile or unlocked phones) it doesn't affect anything. you still have the same number, the same rate plan everything...
if you happen to have stored the people in your contact list to your phone (and not to the sim card) be sure to copy those entries (contacts) to your sim by going to the phone book and press "copy to sim" -- so that you don't have to go through re-entering everybody's phone number in your new phone. buying new phones just by itself (no plans) are very expensive, but the good part of it is that you are not committed to a contract.

reverse phone number search compiles hundreds of millions of phone book records to help locate the owner's name, location, time zone, email and other public information.

Use a reverse phone lookup to:
