That only works if the phone is 'unlocked', as far as I know...
But, be optimistic! LOL
My main phone is kinda old. Oddly, the phone I use to tether is newer - newer by a couple of years even. I like my current phone, so I don't bother looking to replace it.
You're likely eligible for an Obama phone. I think I have an Obama phone somewhere. Someone gave it to me for some reason, I forget why. I have no idea if it still works or if it has been shut off. I understand they shut 'em off if you don't use them regularly.
You might also have to fuck around trying to get your existing phone number assigned to you again. If you're the account holder, I guess it'll be easier? I guess? I'm not really sure... I've had 'em piss and moan when I wanted to keep my existing number, and that was as a paid account.
I do know the phone has to be unlocked and I told her that and she says that she thinks they are. So hopefully.
I think Obama phones are limited to one per address and my youngest son has one so I believe that makes me ineligible.
I am hoping they can just add the new phone to my account and remove the old one as a replacement without issue
I don't think they're limited like that? That more than one person can have one in a household, so long as they have some paperwork with their name on it.
I am not positive but I thought they were
