How do I switch carriers and buy a new phone?
I'm looking to buy a new iPhone. I also want to switch carriers. I have never bought a phone myself before and am still on my parents plan but I want to get off of it. I need to switch to a different carrier and I'm just curious how that works while buying a new phone? Do I sign up for the phone plan first or do I get the phone first?
Added (1). I didn't mention that I want to purchase the phone at the Apple store as well. I'm also on the plan that is with the company that my dad owns. From what I have read, it looks like I can sign up for a new plan and then get the new phone and then put the new SIM card in the new phone. I also plan on trading the phone with my old phone. After I get the new SIM card into the new phone, I will cancel my old phone plan. I just want to make sure I get everything right and don't mess anything up.
Go to a store operated by the carrier you want to use
and tell them you want an iPhone.
I just don't get it, people.
Almost everyone under 20 can barely wipe their own but without help these days.
Someone should teach them what life was like on a remote farm in the 1850s.
Maybe then…
Or maybe not.

- Would I be able to switch carriers without having to switch phones? I'm with Consumer Cellular and I have an iPhone SE, but I'm thinking of switching carriers so that I can get unlimited data. I don't want to get a new phone because I've had my current one about six months, I really like it, and it works great. I'm not locked into a contract with Consumer Cellular. Would I be able to switch to another carrier without having to purchase a new phone?
- With my new iPhone 7 plus if I set it up as a new phone instead of moving my iCloud data to the new phone would I lose my? Unlimited data plan and phone number or would that still be there I already put my SIM card in 10 points
- If i switch carriers will I have to restart my phone? I want to switch carriers. Right now I have metro pcs but I'm planning to switch to T-Mobile. I got a new iPhone about 2 months ago so if I switch carriers I'm not looking on buying a new phone. So will I have to restart my phone to switch? Will I loose anything like pictures, apps, or stuff like that?
- Should I switch carriers for the iPhone 5S? I want to buy the 5S, but right now I here that you can only buy the unlocked version for T mobile. Sprint, At&t, and Verizon all have it for a two year, $200 dollar contract. Should I switch carriers?
