I have a Verizon Samsung flip phone that has served me very well.  I want to switch to a Consumer Cellular MOTO G4 Play.  How can I transfer my contact list to my new phone?  Can I do this myself?  I haven't the heart to ask the highly competent technical people at the Verizon Wireless store to do this for me, if they even would.  Verizon offers a great, reliable wireless service, clearly THE best, and Verizon Navigator has gotten me home safely many many times; but it sure costs a lot, and I don't need as good a network as that anymore where I travel.  My current cell bill is over $150 a month, and I think I can get that down to $15 a month or less with the other carrier.  Approaching retirement, I need to find ways to cut expenses.

You can download the contact list (through your login at Verizonwireless.com, My Devices, cloud content and media....) to a csv file.  Then import that csv file with your new carrier.

I'm not sure there is any cell service for $15 a month - basic or otherwise.  Where are you finding this deal?

Unfortunately there is no way to get a plan for 15.00 a month with a smart phone. If its just your one line you should be able to get it lower than 150.00

robst4, we're excited about your upcoming retirement. We definitely understand the need to lower costs as your income will be drastically changing. Have you considered our prepaid service? http://vz.to/2ezjOdc 

I apologize. We don't have a feature or service that allows you to transfer your contacts from your Verizon Wireless device to a different device provisioned on another network. However, there are third party applications like, Google, Yahoo, and other e-mail services that will store your contacts and allow you to upload them to your new phone.

Thank you. One of the people who sent me a response pointed me to enable cloud storage where I downloaded my existing Verizon contacts to a crude spreadsheet. I am good now. – Bob B.

How long does it take to port a number to Consumer Cellular from Verizon?

Porting (transferring your number) usually takes 24 hours or less. We'll let you know when it is completed via a text message or email. And, with our 100% Risk-Free Guarantee, you can try our service without worry. It couldn't be easier!

Does Verizon Support Consumer Cellular?

Different Networks Verizon is a stand-alone company with its own proprietary network, while Consumer Cellular is not considered an actual carrier. Instead, Consumer Cellular piggybacks its service through T-Mobile.

Can you transfer numbers to a different carrier?

If you're switching service providers and remaining in the same geographic area, you can keep your existing phone number. This process – often referred to as phone number porting – can be done between wireline, IP and wireless providers.

What carrier does Consumer Cellular use?

Consumer Cellular provides wireless service using network capacity from AT&T and T-Mobile (conversation with Consumer Cellular Support in May 2022 confirmed that only the AT&T network is being used at this time for new subscribers phones) and also resells AT&T wholesale wireless services to other virtual operators.
