Best Answer

depends on the service provider.

but most these days have number porting (or port your number)

number portability means they can transfer old number to new phone.

i have service with virgin mobile and they do number porting (port your number).

BUT some companies will not hold your number if you let your phone service lapse (run out)

varies by company.
