Sprint can transfer your mobile phone number from one Sprint phone to another Sprint phone in most cases. First decide which method you want to use for contacting Sprint:
- Dial *2 from your mobile phone, or call9042353345from any phone.
- Go to any Sprint store.
- Go to any Radio Shack store.
You will need to provide your mobile phone number and identify yourself with your name and PIN, a previously-chosen secret number of 6 digits or more. (Passwords used to be 4 digits and were generally the last-4 digits of the customer's Social Security Number, but Sprint just recently moved to a more-secure identity check. They may still help you, though, if y this number on the inside back of the phone, under the battery.
Sprint or Radio Shack will now have to program your phone or talk you through the programming. This takes just a couple minutes. Keep your old phone turned off while you do this.
Your new phone might start working with your new number immediately, but Sprint says they may need up to 4 hours. Transferring any stored voicemail messages could take longer.
There should be no charge for this change, or contract extension, or extension of eligibility for credit toward a new phone. Discuss these points with Customer Service to be certain there is no misunderstanding.
To transfer your "address book" (phone directory, all the numbers stored on your phone) and other information, you can either manually recover the information from your old phone (even after the number is transferred), or you can take both phones to a Sprint store where, in most cases, their equipment can transfer your information. There may be a small charge.
There are a few cases where the number cannot be transferred:
- The "new" phone is already active on Sprint on someone else's account.
- The phone has been reported to Sprint as lost or stolen.
- The last account the phone was registered to has a past-due balance.
- The phone is too old to support the current Sprint network.
- The phone is not GPS-enabled and so cannot report its location when making a 911 call.
If you want the Sprint phone number on the Cingular phone. You will call Cingular and ask to port in your number. If you port in your number the Sprint phone will be canceled after the port is complete. If you are still under contract with Sprint you will have an Early Termination Fee. So make sure you are out of contract before you do this unless you don't mind paying $150-$200 for an ETF. If you are just wanting to switch the phone and keep Sprint Service while using a Cingular device. That does not work. Sprint doesn't used Unlocked phones.
If you are transferring your number to another sprint cellphone, simply call them up, and ask them to transfer your number upon activation. If you are going to a new mobile phone carrier, ask that company if they have the ability to let you keep your old cellphone number.
I'm not sure there is a way that you can do it yourself. But you can take your phone into any US Cellular store and have them do it. I believe it's free, but i don't know for sure.
There is no cost to port a number when you switch wireless carriers
How do I do this
To me i think sprint is better than Verizon.
Sprint.
You can't it's not possible but I have Selena gomezes cell number
it is pn Verizon sprint and at&t
Yes Sprint offer better wireless coverage then Verizon. Sprint has a ntwork that covers every corner of the country.
It uses the Verizon network.
no
yes
Nope, sprint uses a different technology for there towers and Verizon doesn't accept sim cards.
At&t, sprint, and verizon but i would reccomend verizon because at&t and sprint have the worst service
Verizon has a greater reception rate then sprint. considering the service provider is what affects the reception received by a cellular device, no the sprint 8300 doesn't not have better reception then the Verizon envy 2.
I'd recommend you call Boost Mobile customer service on this one. When I tried doing it in 2010, you could not transfer a Boost Mobile phone number to another carrier (and, just like you, I tried transferring it to Verizon) - you couldn't even transfer a Boost Mobile number to Nextel (Boost Mobile basically was a prepaid Nextel). Things might have changed, now that Nextel has been eliminated and fully folded into Sprint, although I'm doubtful.
