Dropping from traditional shared to single line without going to everything shared?

Currently I am on a plan with two lines under the traditional family plans, not the ludicrous everything shared plans.  My question is where is the pricing for the old single lines or is it possible to cancel down to one line without getting roped into the new minimum $90 for a smart phone plans?  The only reason I need to know is I can't convince the wife to kick Verizon's over priced A' to the curb for the newer more reasonable priced SIM only GSM prepaid service offerings that have come available in the last 5-6 months like I plan to move too.
If I recall correctly there were price points of 34.99 -39.99 450 minute single line voice plan, $10 for 1000 text, and $30 for 2GB of data.  Which at 74.99 to 79.99 might not seem like a bargain, its certainly better than $90 for 1GB of and unlimited voice and text that the line is never going to need. I had some hope for the Everything Shared Plans, but even with the same discount level they are embarrassingly overpriced for what Verizon is offering even with a corp discount. 
I'm planning on dropping my fake Verizon Nexus, an insult to the brand really, for the genuine article GSM unlocked Galaxy Nexus straight from Google.  The reception sucks in my house on my Nexus, while my wife's Razr 16GB does decently.  Supposedly the GSM model does better with the new radios in the 4.0.4 update, I haven't seen any improvement on my Verizon model.  But even if the reception is the same, at least I'm not paying a premium price for LTE I can only use away for my house and a "flagship" Google experience device that might get Jelly Bean by end of the year if the Xoom debacle is any indication of Verizon's ability to manage a minor OS upgrade.

Found my own answer here:https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/835055#835055\
You get kicked to the everything shared plans, not just for new customers anymore.  Also the fact that you go from a family share plan to a single line requires a "everything shared" plan is absolutely hilarious in a tragic comedy kind of way.

    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.

  • Drag & Drop from/to shared libraries

    OK...I have home sharing setup, can see all libraries (2 PCs and an ipad), can stream from any shared library. I was hoping i could drag and drop music and playlists from a shared library to my ipad2...but doesn't work....get the 'no' symbol when trying to do that. I can drag and drop to the ipad from the computer that it is connected to....but not the shared libraries. Tried changing sync setting to manual...but same result....cant drag music from shared library to the ipad.
    Have checked all settings I can think of. Anyone know how? Am I wanting to do something that is not possible?

  • Single Line Plan vs More Everything Plan

    I have gone to several different Verizon stores now and cannot get an answer for my questions. When I asked about the single line plan I get different answers. One store told me that the single line plan is $60/month for 2GB of data for 24 months. This same store told me that I would also receive 1 free GB of data for 24 months on the single line plan. The other store told me that they never heard of this $60 plan and told me that the single line plan would be $110/month.
    So my question is which is it? Is it $60/month for 2GB of data plus 1 free GB of data for 24 months or not?

    @LucasV Was it me? Was I the one who previously mentioned it was a device feature? I bet it was me.
    So, yeah, I agree 100% with everything you're saying above, except for the part that isn't true, which is the sad part that says I don't need anything from Verizon to use mobile hotspot. They, for some reason, have control over that particular device feature, as, (I suppose) they believe that they, as the data service provider, are providing me with some sort value-added service when I use mobile hotspot, even though it's just my phone passing data to my computer over a completely separate connection — and I've already paid Verizon for the data itself. Anyway, they've assessed the value of that particular service at about $20-30 a month, every month. Otherwise, I can't unlock mobile hotspot on my phone. Hence, my frustration.

  • How can i upload photos from my camera onto my timecapsule without going onto my computer first?

    I have photos on my digital camera that i want to put directly onto my timecapsule without having to download them onto my macbook first because i don't have enough disk space left on my hard drive for everything to fit.  Can someone tell me how to bypass my computer and go directly onto my timecapsule?
    Thanks!

    You really have a question for the iPhoto experts here, so you should post in that support area.
    iPhoto
    However, I can do exactly what you ask by checking the following settings in iPhoto.
    Open iPhoto Preferences
    Click the General Tab
    Make sure that the setting for Connecting Camera Opens  = Image Capture
    Then do exactly as I outlined above to navigate to the Time Capsule disk to import/download the images to that destination
    Time Capsules do fail at an alarming rate, so hopefully you have a plan to backup your images that are stored on the Time Capsule.

  • How to upgrade from os 5 to ios 7 without going to ios 8

    I have an iPhone 4S that is currently on ios 5.1.1 and I would like to upgrade to ios 7 without upgrading to ios 8. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iOS 7 stopped being signed by Apple. This means iOS 7 is no longer a valid iOS version to upgrade an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to, and you have to upgrade to iOS 8.

  • html:errors don't show in a single line

    I use Struts <html:errors>
    <html:text property="test" /><html:errors name="test"/>
    when errors is not empty,it will show error information.But what puzzled with me is that I find the show of <html:errors property="test"/> occupy three lines,not a single line.
    My application.properties file:
    errors.footer=
    errors.header=
    errors.test.required=This is a test
    I want to show "This is a test" in only one single line,but in fact it shows three lines,like follows:
    null
    This is a test
    null
    If I modify the content of application.properties file:
    errors.test.required=This is a test
    It still show three lines,like follows:
    blank line
    This is a test
    blank line
    I want to show it in a single line without header and footer,anybody knows how to do it?

    Hi,
    in Struts <html:errors/> will show errors in a listed manner.
    so in ur properties file u have to specify ur errors within<li></li> tag and u have to add the additional valuee for header and footer.
    Try this
    errors.header=<UL>
    errors.footer=</UL>
    errors.test.required=<li>This is a test</li>You can decorate this using html tags in Porperty file.

  • Best way to handle single line Customer and Address Data

    Hi, We have customer data in a single line means name, address everything is in a single line. I am now suppose to cleanse this data using Data Quality. Now my question is how to parse this data. Normally I have dealt with multiple line or address data which I can map to input fields of the Address cleanse transforms. In this case, Shall I just map that single field to "Address_line" of the Address cleanse transform? It should be able to parse or shall I parse all the fields using some function in Query transform and then feed into Address Cleanse transform?
    Thanks,

  • No Discount for Single Line Plans?

    I have been a Verizon user for a long time now with my parents, and now moving out on my own I am looking to get on my own plan. I am a teacher, and Verizon offers an 18% discount to educators. However, I spoke with a representative online and found out that the discount is not allowed on single line plans, only share everything plans. Does anyone know why this is? I was hoping to use the discount to make the price more competitive to independent pay-as-you-go providers like StraightTalk and AIO. I know Verizon has a prepaid style plan, but I don't want to have to use such an older model phone...  I love Verizon and want to stick with them, but I don't think that paying upwards of $300 more per year to stay on with them is worth it. If I was able to use the discount to take anything off of it it would make it more manageable, but I don't understand why you can't use an educator discount on a single line plan. Doesn't make any sense to me...

        I understand the value of a corporate discount SingleVerizonUser. Discounts are available on single line plans; however, it is dependent on the specific plan. Which plan do you have with us currently? If you are on a promotional plan, which is already a reduced cost, an additional corporate discount may not be available.

  • How to stop auto from-feed on a dot matrix printer for printing only a single line of data at a frequency of 30 seconds

    Hello friends
    In a particular application, it is required to print a single line of data on a dot matrix printer (continuous sheets) at a frequency of 30 seconds. That is printing is to be carried out line-by-line on the same form without a form feed.
    We are facing a problem of a form feed after printing of each line. Kindly help me to solve this problem of auto form-feed. How to continuously print at a regular interval without from-feeding.
    Shahid Baig

    Is this printer connected to a network?
    You may need to look at the printer manual to see if there is a setting for a form feed.  I remember when we had a dot matrix printer on the network about 12 years ago, there would be a network timeout setting of something like 30 seconds.  So if you didn't continue to send data, the network will end the print job and send the file to the printer which would auto form feed at the end.  Many of our basic programs had to be rewritten because they would do an LPRINT periodically, if you took along time progressing through the inputs, you would easily hit the 30 second timeout.  So all the programs had to be rewritten to save the data to be printed to a file, and only once you execute a print command, it would read the file back in and Lprint it (or a Print#1) to the LPT port.
    Since the printer was on the network, and basic could only print to LPT's, we had to use a net command to capture the LPT1 port and direct it to the network queue.
    I don't remember all the details, but those are the bits and pieces I do remember.  I think the answer to your problem lies in there somewhere.
    Namely:
    1.  Printer setting to auto form feed.
    2.  Network setting that closes print job after timeout period.

    How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.
