How do switch my phone number to a different iphone?
I have a white iphone (current phone) but i want the switch it to the black iphone.
I have verizon.
Do i need to go to the store to do it or can i do it over the phone?
Added (1). They are both iphone 4s
You remove the sim card from your present phone and put it in the new phone. You need a sim card removal tool, which looks exactly like a paper clip.

If you are the Account Holder or an Account Manager you can call 1-800-922-0204 and they will perform the switch. Make the call from a different phone than the 2 you are dealing with. If you call from another Verizon cell phone you can just call *611, otherwise use the 800 #.It is a fairly quick and painless process.
Ignore the poster above. Swapping SIM cards will not work with Verizon phones.
Yeah… Don't listen to SmartAZ. Just call Verizon's customer and they will switch for you over the phone.
- Why is mobile sending number different to my number? I recently bought an Iphone and did a sim swap so I could keep my phone number. Everything has been ok. However, when I send an imessage it shows the recipient a different number to mine. I don't think this happens when I send a SMS. Presumably it's the original number for the new sim? Why is this?
- Different phone but same sim number so will I have my old contacts stored or no? My iphone 6s broke so I will be having an iphone 5 instead as a temporary phone. I can easily ask through social media numbers yet I'm just wondering. Will have phone on Thursday.
- If I switch from a prepaid phone to iPhone, could I keep the number? I need to get a new phone, but I really want to get the new iPhone that is probably coming out later this year, so I'm planning on getting a cheap prepaid phone then switching when it comes out. Would I be able to keep the same number when I switch?
- I was wondering if I can add a different phone number to my iPhone myself? I have a app called text free and wanted to know if I can link the number the app gave me to my iPhone 5c. I don't have service and use my email for FaceTime and iMessage. But I wanted to link the number from the app to the phone to be able to call from the phone and not the app.
