Will I still have my minutes that I have already paid for this year if I activate a new no-contract phone?
I have paid for pre- paid minites for the entire year. I want to upgrade my cell phone to a smartphone. Will I still be able to keep all the pre-paid minutes that I have purchased for the rest of the year? I really need a new phone that will keep my same amount of minutes.
Yes however, be aware that for certain no contract carriers you will not be able to transfer all of your minutes. For example, Net 10 only allows up to 1000 minutes to transfer. This happened to me when I changed phones and realized that not all my minutes transferred over. I called their customer service but since they don't have a way to see how many minutes you have or had they can't help you. Not sure if they could have even if you did know what you had previously, though. I suggest call your provider and ask before you change or wait until next year to switch phones.
