Will it automatically assign a number to me? (Yes, I need a new number) If so, can I pick the area code?

Yes they will assign a new number and they ask you what area code you will most be using the phone in. I've even changed my number, using an area code way off where I'm actually located just to mess with friend. Hope this helps. Happy Hollidays!!!!

You can transfer your existing number or get a new one. They gave me one with my current area code. Not sure if you can pick the area code. I would call them BEFORE you decide to activate anything because it's non-refundable. Also, get ready to be frustrated. Their customer service is terrible.

Yes, you always have the option of transferring a number you already have through any carrier or letting them assigning you a new number. I think if you do it online it lets you pick maybe the prefix.

You get assigned a regular phone number when you sign up with a service provider. When I signed up for an account with Google Voice, they let me pick an available phone number in my local area code, anyone can call me on that number.

It requires that you transfer your number to the phone when you activate it. A little bit of a hassle but it worked.

I think your name will only show up if they have your number programmed into their directory. You can't make it show up, it's up to them to save your number into their own directory and put your name with it, then it will show up on their phone.

You can store numbers from the caller id list to your directory, which means you can change the names of the callers and the phone will announce the name that is tied to that number. I am assuming that you do have caller id through your carrier. For example: the name is Doe Susan - you changed it to Susan and the phone will announce Susan

No, you don't want it to come with a phone number. It is set to factory settings, and you get it activated with Verizon. They will give you the new phone number.

Yes you can. It had caller ID too, once u enter the number and name it identifies who is calling. Otherwise it identifies the number that is calling

If you keep the same service carrier with active service, they should assist you. If you want to switch carriers, but keep your old number, things get difficult. I hope this helps..

If you follow the instructions and activate the phone with Tracphone, they will assign you a number.

I agree that it's all automatic - apparently no way to change it manually. If a problem try to talk to somebody at Tracfone.

hi. yes you can switch to straight talk and still keep your existing phone number. when you activate your phone online it will ask you if you want to switch your phone number. The question comes from a computer talking just to let you know. if you have problems getting the number to switch then talk to a representative and they will help you change your number in about 2 or 3 minute after they pick up. i would suggest talking to a representative.

Yes. It comes with a 2 digit default code that you can change to a number you choose.

I has a phone book memory of 100 #s that you can select from. Not sure if that's what you mean. Also has a redial feature - you can select from the last few numbers dialed and hit Redial. You can enter numbers dialed or numbers received into the phone book, I think - haven't tried that yet..
