What should I compare in a phone plan?

Compare monthly cost, data limits, network coverage, hotspot allowance, device requirements, taxes, fees, discounts and the price after any promotion ends.

Can I add a line without changing my whole plan?

It depends on the carrier and current account. Check line limits, plan eligibility, device financing and any promotion tied to the new line.

Can I keep my phone when switching carriers?

Often, yes. The phone must be unlocked and compatible with the new network. Confirm compatibility before transferring your number.

What do I need to switch carriers?

Keep current service active and gather your account number, transfer PIN, billing ZIP code and device details before starting the number transfer.
