My phone finally died. Can't get the keyboard to pop up so I can text and can't push the answer button when anybody calls me or the call button to make a call. It's basically nothing but an electronic phone book at the moment.

My daughter gave me her old one, which is a nice Android. I'm going to set it up this evening although that means ill have a new number. If anybody here has tried to call or text me, that's what's going on. Ill be texting everyone my new number tomorrow.

Does the SIM card from your old phone not fit in your new phone?

There's adapters available if new one needs a bigger sim or you can cut it to be smaller. Alternatively, you could get a new sim made with your old number.

Nope it doesn't. However the old one was a $28 Wal-Mart straight talk phone and just got slower and slower over few months I've had it. It eventually died. I got my money's worth. New phone is a nice one my daughter had recently. She upgrades a lot.

There is nothing on there I have to worry about it saving. Ill put my contacts in, and all the apps will have my info when I sign in. I'm texting the people I talk to often and giving them my number and I posted on FB with my new number for those who I don't talk to often enough to bug with a text, so if somebody needs to reach me they can.

It's all going to be ok. My service ran out on the old phone yesterday so it's perfect, and I got the same prepaid plan from Verizon that I got from straight talk and for the same price. I'm just glad i got all those calls to customer service setting it up over with. I talked to one guy there who I couldn't understand and who obviously couldn't understand me because he kept saying different things and then tried to tell me I needed a new phone. I told him was sketchy and probably going to be fired. I called back later and got a nice lady who helped me. I told her about the sketchy guy too.
