Question

I want to outright buy a cell phone. I am already in contract w cingular and want a different phone.?

Answer

You can, in most cases, transfer your number to your new phone that you buy outright, but you will have to take it to Cingular to make it happen.brbrYou will have to pay full retail for the phone you buy outright as the discounts are usually linked to initiating a new service plan. brbrI have switched phones on the same account when someone gave me a better phone than the one I was using. It wasnt with CIngular, but it should be the same principle. take it to Cingular and make sure it will be compatibile.
