I also had a sim card from Sharon. I kept it active every two months and was able to transfer everything to a new sim card in November at no charge. Go to a UTS store and they will make the transfer for you and you will keep your number if you have kept it updated. If you have not kept it updated, you may lose your number and they will give you a new one. You have to have an unlocked phone to get this to work and it must be 3 or more. The old phones are no longer compatible. Good luck with your transfer.
