Adding a second iPhone 5 to another iPhone 5 preorder plan

Currently, I have an iPhone 4 on AT&T, and when I pre-ordered my iPhone 5 I decided to switch to verizon. So I ordered the CDMA version of the iPhone 5 and selected to create a new plan, and checked out and my iPhone was ordered. But now my brother wants to get an iPhone 5 on the same plan as mine. When I try to add the iPhone 5 to an existing plan, it can't find the plan for the iPhone I bought. How do I add it to the plan I created?   

Technically, you're not a Verizon customer at the moment, thus you have no plan to add the phone to. I don't know if calling Verizon will help, but you may want to start there.

  • Adding a Second iPhone to a Family Account using a "ported" T-Mobile #

    I currently have a single iPhone account. I purchased a second iPhone yesterday (the $299 4GB version "while supplies last" ) for my wife, which is a T-mobile subscriber. So my issue is now how to add her to my account, and have her "port" her T-mobile number. After talking to numerous reps from both Apple and ATT, this seems to be the recommended way:
    1. Call ATT and switch from an individual account (450 min $59.99) to a FamilyTalk account ($80 for 700 minutes and one (1) iPhone). This must be done by calling ATT as that option is NOT available on the ATT Wireless website.
    2. Call ATT Porting Unit at 888-898-7685 and have my wife ask them to port her current phone number from T-mobile to ATT. The FamilyTalk account now will be set up with 2 phones for 109.00 / month. Again this also must be done by calling ATT.
    3. Wait until your T-mobile phone number has ported to ATT.
    4. Go through the new iPhone activation and on the "Are you a New or Existing ATT Customer" page select "I am an existing ATT Wireless customer AND Replace a phone on my account with this iPhone". Monthly charges should stay at $109 month for 2 iPhones.
    My question is this: has anyone done this in this SEQUENCE? Thanks.

    When I switched to the iPhone, also from T-Mobile, I was joining my brother's FamilyTalk plan (which already had 2 iPhones) that he already had on AT&T. In order to port the number we had a rep at the AT&T store port the number from T-Mobile to basically a bogus sim card that never got used. Presumably the Porting Unit can do this for you as well. Once the number was ported, I did exactly as you described in step 4 and i activated my iphone with my old number without any problems.

  • Connecting a second iPhone to wifi network

    I currently have two iPhones in the house. One 16gb for myself and another 8gb for my wife. When I was setting my wifi connection it took a number of attempts and I finally got it to work, which it is doing very nicely.
    Now when I come to try and connect the second iPhone to the wifi network, it won't accept it. I am using exactly the same details as the first iPhone uses to connect successfully.
    Please can you tell me if there is anything I need to check or configure - my wife is all for throwing the phone in the bin.
    :o(

    weestoater,
    Try forgetting the Wi-Fi network on the iPhone that will not join the network. Goto Settings> Wi-Fi> tap the blue (>) to the right of the network name, then Forget This Network. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    If the iPhone still cannot join the Wi-Fi network, we may need to look at the router settings. Make sure the router is set to distribute enough IP addresses. Also Make sure the iPhone MAC address is added to the filter list, if MAC address filtering is enabled(as SisterBlue said). The iPhone MAC address is listed under Settings> General> About, the Wi-Fi address.

  • Advice Needed: Activating Second iPhone

    I'm about to activate a second iPhone on a new FamilyTalk account. The second iPhone will be used with a different computer/iTunes-username than mine, which the first iPhone was activated with.
    If I activate the second iPhone using my computer, and my iTunes username, does that mean it will only be able to sync with my computer/user? Or is syncing separate from activation?
    Or put another way:
    Which computer and/or iTunes-username should a second iPhone be activated with assuming it needs to be added to a FamilyTalk plan?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Yes, AT&T cares about the phone numbers. Mine was an existing Family Talk account, and I just had to convert one of the lines to an iPhone. ITunes did this just fine. If the second line already exists, and is on the family talk now, it will work from iTunes.
    If you are setting up a brand new FamilyTalk account, I am not sure that iTunes is that sophisticated, hence the possible need to call AT&T, but you will find them very helpful on this. After all, they are getting a new customer.

  • I just bought a second iPhone for my business... I used my existing apple account and now all my texts are coming to both phones.. How do I get a secondary apple ID and change it on my business phone?

    I used my existing apple ID when I purchased a second iPhone for my business.. Now all my texts are coming to both phones.. Is there a way to create a new apple account for my business phone and if so.. How do I delete one and add another?

    Yes, you can have two separate Apple IDs, and it's pretty easy to set this up. Go into Settings > iTunes & App Store on your business phone. You should see your current Apple ID. Tap on it, then tap on sign out. You can then create a new Apple ID, using a different email address and password than those associated with the Apple ID on your other phone. Log back in using this new information, and you shouldn't get the texts that come to your other phone.
    Hope this helped!

  • HELP! I had a duplicate contact added to my iPhone 1390 times!!!!

    I have an iPhone 3gs (yes, I'm still living in the past), I have multiple contacts that randomly get added to my list of contacts. "Random" because it is mostly not even people I contact at ALL, by email or phone. Some of the contacts are only people I receive emails FROM (like for newsletters).
    For example, one entry is an email of a friend - btw I NEVER use that email, I call her - the entry that only has her email was added to my iPhone 1390 times!!!!
    That is not the only one that is duplicated.  My contacts are almost unusable because of these enormous numbers of random duplicates being added.
    I have 2 questions:
    How do I stop my phone (or is it icloud?) from creating these duplicates
    and
    How can I clean this all up?
    Oh, let's add a third question:
    My phone is syncing the contacts to icloud (that is how I got the number of duplicates) but my icloud contacts are not syncing with my MBP running Lion (10.7.5).  How can I get all of my contacts to synchronize nicely?
    If all of my contacts would be on my MBP, I could merge the duplicates but they aren't there ... yet.
    I am not synchronizing with google or yahoo or ..... only with icloud, my phone and my MBP. I have my phone to sync over the air in itunes.
    Also, since I thought everything was synchronizing nicely, I add contacts on my phone or on my computer in about equal amounts.  So, that means that I can't just erase (write over) what's on my phone or on my computer.
    I want to sync with a new iMac and upgrade to Mountain Lion too but I want to get this straighted out first.  I DO have icloud enabled on my MBP and my iphone.
    Can someone help me please??
    Thanks

    I just found another address book entry that was repeated 2473 times!!!   This is a just a little ridiculous, don't you think?   And why that one?  Most are ok but ....

  • Trying to activate a second iphone and itunes doesnt recognize

    I am trying to activate a second iphone, and itunes doesnt recognize that it is plugged in.  This is also the case with my other iphone and my itouch.  Tried restarting everything and also tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, nothing has worked.  Is there a way to fix this or another way to activate the phone?

    Try activating it on a different computer, and using a different dock connector to USB cable if possible.
    If that doesn't work, it may be a hardware problem. Take it to your Apple Store for testing.

  • My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement.

    My iPhone 5 dies at 20-24% it doesn't go all the way to 0%. Will apple replace my phone or fix my phone for free since its hardware problem and I have no money. This is my second iphone 5 replacement. I have no apple care so I'm worried. My phone has NEVER touched water! I only get 1/5 of battery use. I've also spent 30$ at the apple store on screen protectors for nothing! I really don't have 220$ nor 50$ I am on a strict budget. I believe I have to pay 220 not 50 ford a phone replacement for accidental damage. I don't know what category this falls under. I really need a new phone or battery. HELP! Will I have to pay? Also my screen lighting is all topsy-tervy every I put my screen on highest it won't work I have to wait about a minute? Forgot to mention that my apps exit out by themselves all the time when Im using them.

    So, have you tried a reset?  Restore from backup? Restore as new?  You seem to have a few problems but do not mention any action taken to resolve them.  What have screen protectors to do with anything?

  • I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    I recently removed an outlook account and now all of my calendar events are missing. The majority of them were added from my iphone 4s. How do I retrieve the events? Backing up with iCloud did not help, as I assumed it would.

    Outlook is a mail client for PC's (and Macs). It is not a type of account. Do you mean an "Exchange Account"?
    If so, then re-add it. The calendar events live on the Exchange Server. The only way to get them back is to re-add the account to the phone. The contents of Exchange and IMAP accounts are not part of the 'backup' as they already exist elsewhere.
