Hey how do I save my pictures and phone contacts so that I can transfer them to a new phone? Do I save them to the sim card which if that is the case how do i do it, or do I need to save them to a SD card, because I dont currently have one in my phone

Contacts - Sync your contacts with your Google account (in the cloud) and you'll never have to worry about saving a number again.

Pictures - Depends on your phone. You can do a bunch of things:

1. Sync to the cloud (Google, Dropbox, etc.)
2. Copy to an SD card (if your phone supports it)
3. Transfer to your computer (old fashioned USB transfer) and transfer back when you get the new phone

[Mr210]

do I just buy it, and then put my sim card in it, or do I need to notify sprint so they can activate it

They sound much harder than they are.

1. If your phone can read SD cards, buy one, put it in your phone and copy/paste the files to it using a file explorer app like EStrongs File Explorer.
2. If not, you can download Google Drive or Dropbox on your phone and select the files you want to back up, then upload them to the cloud. You can verify they're there by using your computer to view the files online.

Sprint has sims on lte phones. You can pre-order from best buy

Sims really don't matter on Sprint. my iPhone has a different Sim than my Galaxy S6 and when I switch them I just tell it online to use the Sim that came with each phone every time I switch. I don't have to swap Sims.

no it isn't you call Sprint with the MEID and the sim card number and they activate it. You can probably also do it online. When I got my Galaxy S6 I just went online and entered the MEID and Sim number and it moved my service over to it.
