I have a Verizon Samsung Rugby 2 flip phone sitting on my desk. It was most recently used to connect our GPS to the local RTK networks. We just dropped the entire plan that the phone was part of. I have been Googling this and am overwhelmed.
I do have an AT&T personal plan now that cannot add any more phones to it, but I am used to using the AT&T go phone setup. I am just not sure if I can add an existing Verizon phone to an AT&T go phone plan? I am sure that Verizon has a similar go phone plan, but it seems that those plans (both AT*&T and Verizon) want to sell you a phone. I already have the phone. Do I have to unlock it or something?
I simply want to go somewhere (on-line would be nice) to get this phone "turned back on" and back into use. I don't care what the phone number is.
Where do I go to do this?
I'm pretty sure all you have to do is swap the sims card in the rugby with an existing phone you're using, no activation fee. At least that's what I've done in the past with at&t, using go phones, etc.
That sounds perfect. But, for the life of me I cannot find the sim card slot on my Rugby:
EDIT: I see I have a Convoy (SCH-U640). Not a rugby...
After more Googling, apparently the Convoy does not use a sim card.
Thanks anyway man, any other ideas?
Verizon phones don't use SIM cards. You'd have to get a phone that is compatible with the carrier you want to use. Sometimes you can swap phones between Sprint and Verizon because they use the same type of system. Likewise for T-Mobile and AT&T but sometimes it just depends.

Thanks Bro, maybe I'll just take the Convoy phone to a Verizon store and see what they can do for me (read "cheap") to get it turned back on, because I know that phone worked fine a week ago with all my settings etc.
