Contact List

I am going to port my number from Verizon to Red Pocket Mobile. I will be using the same phone and changing the SIM card. Can anyone tell me if I will lose my contact list with all the saved numbers?
  • I have a Kyocera Cadence phone that I have had less than 2 years. It does have a browser that is 4G LTE. I have never used it. I will plug it in to my PC and see what happens.
  • How old is your flip phone
    Does it have even a rudimentary mobile internet app,
    Camera, send pictures
    Those are/were called "Feature phones"
    And yes there is a way to back up contacts
    Even if you have to plug into your PC and save the file that way
  • Not seeing anything specific for a flip phone. Am I missing something? I am definitely tech challenged !!

    It all depends on what app you are using for contacts. If you are using a carrier contact app or a phone manufacturer app you are always faced with this issue if you want to change carrier or phone company. If you use Google contacts or any cloud based app that is not carrier or phone manufacturer based, your contacts are always there and you are free to move to another phone or carrier company with no effect on your contacts. It is easy to import contacts from any other application into Google Contacts before you switch to avoid losing contacts in a switch.

    try here you will likely need your model number to bring up the right instructions.
  • Go to settings
    Backup restore sync
    Sync your contacts to your Google account
    Just in case of some problem
    On my Samsung S5
    My contacts can be stored on Verizon cloud, Google account, and the on the phone
