How Do I Transfer My Phone # To My New Phone?

I would really appreciate any feedback, as soon as posible!
Here's the gist:
My old phone is crap, so I ordered a new one online. The new one is the EXACT same phone as my old one. Model, Verizon powered, etc
How do I transfer my phone number to this new 1? Does it transfer automatically when I activate it? I was told to call *228 or something on the new phone, but I dont see how that will transfer my number.
Thank you in advance you guys!

Yes, dialing *228 on the new phone (make sure the old one is OFF) and choosing option1 will begin the process. You will be asked to input the # you are calling about (that tells Verizon what number you want to use on the new phone), and the billing passcode (to be sure you are authorized on the account) and if all is in order, you'll listen to some weird music while the phone is programmed to the number you input.
If there is an issue you will be instructed to call customer service.
HTH,

What phones do you have (old and new?) If your old phone was backed up using Verizon's Backup assistant, the new phone should pick up those contacts, as the Verizon cloud has replaced Backup Assistant, or ratherm BUA has been "absorbed" by the Cloud.
Knowing which phones you are using will help us to give more specific information for transferring the contacts.

I like to get my media shared in the cloud so its reachable across all my devices.
Dropbox, Box and Google Drive will be your friend.

Me and my partner are currently using the same apple id and have no space left on our devices. We are currently waiting on the iphone 6 plus to arrive and don't know how to transfer all data to the new phones.

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

Backup Assistant will download your last saved to network contact/phone numbers. Look on phone menus my Casio has it listed under contacts but mfg's differ on where to actuate. Call *611 and get V rep.

How do i transfer my content from my android phone to my new iphone 5

How do i transfer my content from my android phone to my new iphone 5 thanks

sync the old android phone content to google like contacts. Then sync the new iPhone 5 to google using the carddav protocol. Google has some great tutorials for seting up the accounts.

Additional way is if its already on the google.com cloud service. Search iPhone App Store for "MobileTrans contacts".
Or go on iCloud.com then sign up and click on the cogwheel for options. I believe it has import contacts.

How, exactly, did you obtain this app? iOS apps are not available in the Mac App Store.
Do you mean that you got it from the iTunes App Store, via iTunes. and it's now in your iTunes app library? In that case, syncing your phone with iTunes will transfer it to the phone

You should regularly copy photos from iPhone to computer and delete them from the Camera Roll on the iPhone.

You can then sync the photos you want back to the iPhone using iTunes.

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same id account

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same Apple ID .

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense without a little more information. You can't transfer a video from the phone to the iPad by connecting the devices. There are WiFi transfer apps that will let you send a video from one device to another one. I get the feeling that isn't what you are really asking though because that has absolutely nothing to do with your Apple ID.
If you want to download the same purchased movie to the iPad that you downloaded to the phone, go to the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad. Tap the Movies Button. Tap Not on this iPad. Find the movie and tP the cloud icon next to the movie icon and start downloading.
You must be signed into the same ID on the iPad that you bought the movie with on the iPhone.

How can I restore ringtones from my old phone to my new phone?

How can I restore my ringtones from my old phone to my new phone? I know I've done it before, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks!

If you purchased them from Verizon, you MAY be able to recover them by logging in to your account and checking under MyMedia to see if it's available. You may need to repurchase, since in most cases, ring tones are purchased for the specific device and do not transfer to a new device.
You can also use a service like Phonezoo to get ringtones; it keeps track of all your downloaded ringtones and wallpapers and you can get them again for a new device - and it's all free.

I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

I did a backup from my 3G and want to get the backup now on my iPhone 4, but the backup from the old 3G is not shown as an option to configurate. How do I get the information on my new phone?

First, back up your old iphone manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your old phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

After that, connect your new phone and let iTunes set it up. iTunes will detect the old 3G backup and ask you, if you want to use it to restore the info on your new iphone. If you agree, all settings and data will be present after the process is finished.
