Thanks Wild Banchi,
My Go Phone Galaxy Express arrived in the mail. I looked at it and headed up to the Corporate AT&T Store. I told the AT&T person exactly what I wanted to do as far as activating my new phone with the old number and putting it on the $.10 a minute plan and did not want a monthly fee or data plan at this time. She had a few questions, and returned in about 5 minutes with the new phone all set to go including moving over all my contacts, had the data usage switched off, and gave me a brief "tour" of the phone. No hassle about a monthly data plan or anything. I still have the old phone, regular sized old sim card and a new phone all set to go. I do have a microSim cutter on standby if needed.
Eureka, I'm a happy, white haired, old retired guy and I owe it to you and all the others who help keep this forum available for those of us who are technologically challenged. !!!!!!!!!!
Can't Thank You Enough
Tom
