NET10 is a prepaid phone company that allows users to pay for their minutes ahead of time, at a rate of $0.10 per minutes and $0.05 per text message. The main appeal is that you don't have a contract and there's no risk of overage charges. But in today's fast-paced world of quickly evolving technology, newer, cooler phones are constantly arriving on the market. Luckily, it's pretty simple to change your phone and keep your old number.
Step 1
Purchase your new NET10 phone from an electronics store or other NET10 dealer.
