They have a little machine they put both sim cards in that is supposed to put all the numbers on the new sim card. It is painless and works when switching to sprint from cingular.


Make sure you have your account number from cingular when you go to port your number. It takes all the hassle out of it.How to switch phone numbers from Cingular to Sprint?
I just started working at a Sprint store and I still have my service with AT%26amp;T as I have not yet switched over to get my employee plan. I have the Samsung Blackjack 2 and am going to be getting the Instinct as well. There is a machine here, in store, that transfers contacts from phone to phone. When you go in and buy the phone, just ask them to transfer the contacts. In some instances, the option to transfer pictures is given. Also, when asked the option to get Total Equipment Protection (TEP), definitely get it. If something were to happen to your phone and you had to get a new one, the contact transfer would cost about $15. But if you have TEP, it would be free. TEP is like insurance for your phone. It's $7 a month and you can bring your phone into a store and have a technician look at it and get it fixed. In some instances you do have to send it in but many times it is not neccessary. I've seen the Instinct and it is definitely a great device. I was going to get the iPhone 3G but then saw the Instinct in person. It took me about 5 minutes of playing with it to decide to switch my carrier all-together. Enjoy your phone and good luck!
Do you use Outlook Contacts? If so you should be able to create a `Contacts' folder for your Blackberry and `backup' your address book numbers and info to it. Then `restore' them to the Instinct when you get it. Might have a few different fields, but the names and numbers should transfer.
