Any new dataplan you purchase will have a new phone number

Simply use your existing SIM.

You should be able to order a phone and select the 'I do not need a dataplan' option.

@skygazzer To use any data from the piggy bank you need an active sim/data plan, lowering your current plan to the lowest available plan is the only thing you will be able to do.

If this is a second additonal device you still need sim/data plan for that to use any piggybank data.

Ah... I think I see what you're asking.

Dataplan contracts do not end until you cancel them. The piggybank will be maintained whilst there's a least one remaining SIM on the account. If you cancel the last SIM on the account then the piggybank disappears.

To maintain the piggybank you need an active dataplan (with a monthly cost).
