A:AnswerWell , when i got a pre-owned phone, it was for mobile, i had to go to t mobile store and get it unlocked for a different carrier version or att or whatever, thou it took about 15 or 20 or so , it be unlocked and then go to your carrier, place your sim chip, and you can transfer your data and whatever to the new one. But kept your old phone or about two week after used your new phone in case of problems. Does that help
A:AnswerI haven't activated the phone. My daughter uses it over wifi at home. It should be possible. There's a place for a sim card, and you can activate the sim card with your old number.
