You can use the same number... so for example, lets say you have a 3GS...
they will deactivate that sim and re-activate the nano sim.
It's known as "customer owned equipment".. no plan change or anything, just
a device change...
thats whats cool about GSM vs CDMA... doesnt matter what the device is, the
sim moves with the phone.
