Question about palm to the cell phone?

~Cell Phone Question~?

  • If your parent has a new cell phone, and the old cell phone does not have service, can you have that phone added to the plan, without changing the plan? Please help. Also, would the phone have to get a different phone number. My mom has verizon andI want a cell phone, and I was thinking about, if you could, having the old phone join my moms plan, and we share the minutes without buying a phone for me or a differnet plan. If I can do that please tell me how.

  • Answer:

    From my own personal experiences of GSM providers. Most will allow you to add an additional phone to the plan, to share the minutes. There will be a monthly fee, say $10. When the old phone is activated again, it will get a new number (unless the old one was never taken). Just call the provider and tell them you want to add a phone that you already own to the plan, should be straight forward enough. Good Luck

It all depends on the type of plan that your mom has. Cell phone companies are now requiring you to sign up for the 'family plan" to be able to have two lines on one account. I know that it used to be that Verizon (when it was AirTouch) would allow you to add a phone to the common plan but with a different rate. I am not sure of now since I have Cingular and they require a "family plan". If your mom has been with Verizon for many years I am sure that you can add the phone and just have to change the plan to one compatible with sharing minutes (that is if the phone is a Verizon phone - not all phones are compatible for every cell company).
