Contact the old (original provider) and ask for a 'PAC' code. Give this PAC code to your new provider. This will transfer your mobile number BUT I don't think you will get the prepaid credit, especially if your changing provider/network. If your using the same provider/network contact them directly and ask them nicely. They might transfer the prepaid credit to try and keep you as a customer.

SOURCE: How do i change my cell phone number pre paid

Call the Virgin customer support number and ask for a different number. You can also use your cellphone but that will cost you money.

SOURCE: i have a boost mobile

Welcome to FixYa!

If you already unlocked the Blackberry phone, simply put the Boost Mobile SIM Card (from the Boost Prepaid Phone) to the Blackberry Phone. The mobile number and the credits are link with the SIM Card and not the phone.

In case your Boost Mobile Prepaid Phone does not have a SIM Card (CDMA series), you have to purchase a Boost Mobile SIM Card and call the Boost mobile hotline to activate your newly purchases SIM and request to transfer your prepaid balance to the new SIM.

You can call to this number 888-266-7848

You phone did not include a sim-card and old phone sim-cart won't fit in the new phone.

Your service provider can supply you with the correct sim card. Walmart has them for whatever prepaid service you use.

Bought a Samsung GT E12001 mobile today, the assistant put the simple and battery in I have brought it home there is no bars showing.im not receiving texts or calls

go into call and put in #06# and note imei number that comes up. Next phone the mobile network provider and tell them you want to check you phone got connected properly to their network when you purchased it , give them the mobile phone number and the imei number if they ask for it.
If it is a pre paid phone you may need a recharge of credits onto the phone. The dealer or assistant should have done this for you if needed and explained the pre paid system to you if you are on pre paid. You may have an internet portal with the mobile phoine network provider that can manage your pre paid.
If the mobile phonw was connected via wi fi you should have an application somewhere on the phone to manage recharging credits. if pre paid
You can't do it on the mobile data if your credits are zero.

Have a prepaid visa card from best buy and pogo.com isn't accepting it

Are you sure this pre-paid card was in fact, activated? A credit card is a credit card. Are you adding in the 3 digit number found on the BACK of the card if they are asking for it?

I REFILLED MY STRAIGHT TALK PHONE AND NOW DONT NO WHERE THE MONEY WENT

Unless you paid cash for the minutes, the money should be traceable. Your bank will be able to tell you who received the payment (debit, checking or credit card). Credit card statements usually list the phone number of the payee. If you paid by cash, check with the place that took the payment.

That happens to a lot of things. The manufacturers have it to where you have to spend money new items. Fact in point, you have to buy new ink cartridges when you get a new printer the same ink cartridges you bought for your old printer is a different number even though it is the same brand.

Motorola razr v3 app.2005

It depends on which carrier the prepaid was with.
if The original prepaid and your wifes plan are both with the same carrier then it should be no problem just swap the sim over.
eg ( telstra to telstra ) or Optus To optus.
If the v3 is an Optus predaid and your wifes sim is a telsra plan then it wont accept the sim as the carriers lock the prepaid phones to their network
