Activation Process from Blackberry to Iphone

Has anyone ported the cell phone portion of a Verizon Blackberry to an Iphone and kept the data plan with Verizon? Are there any special steps to get this done smoothly? Would it be easier to get new blackberry service with Verizon or someone else since I'll be charged with the early termination fee when I do this?
Thanks..

Thanks for the response. I do intend to purchase the data plan with my Iphone. I'm just concerned that since my Blackberry phone number is also tied to my blackberry data plan that this will cause issues during the standard activation process..For work purposes I need to carry a blackberry so I know that I will being paying for two data plans (actually one since my employer will pay for the blackberry portion).. I just want find out if anyone has done this and the smoothest route to get my Verizon Blackberry number on my Iphone but keep my Blackberry data on the blackberry device..

Will iTunes restore feature force me to go through the setup/activation process again on my iPhone 3GS?

Will iTunes restore feature force me to go through the setup/activation process again on my iPhone 3GS?
I don't have internet at current location so this would be a huge issue as obviously I wouldn't be able to get past the connect to wifi/itunes step.

I haven't tried because if it fails I have no phone, which would be even worst.
I'm still trying to figure out whos brilliant idea it was to only allow wifi or itunes when you pay for 3G on the phone lol you'd think there would be an option to use it

First backup your Blackberry with BlackBerry Desktop Software on your computer and then restore the backup file to your iPhone with the help of the phone to phone transfer MobileTrans.

How can i copy my diary from blackberry to iphone 3gs - this si my first iphone so not sure how to use anything at the moment but my diary is the most important bit i need!

how can i copy my diary from my old blackberry to new iphone 3GS - this is my first iphone so i am complete novice! I hope to avoid re-inputting every entry!

You probably already figured this out, but....
The iPhone will sync from various things on your computer (check the manual for details) but if your Blackberry won't export the data or sync to anything, then you'll need to get the info off the Blackberry manually.
Alternatively, it might be possible to set the Blackberry up to sync with Google Calendar, maybe, to export the data? I don't know anything about Blackberrys. Try a google search or ask on BB forums with help getting the data out.
But it will be easier to manually type into something on your desktop/web, then sync with the iPhone, rather than hand-entering on the phone itself. Then keep syncing with whatever you decided to use, so that you'll never need to do this again.

From Blackberry to iphone 3gs

I need some help. I am going from a Blackberry Curve 8300 to an iphone and I can't wait to get/use the iphone. I need to tranfer all my contacts to the iphone. What is the best way to do this?

Please help!!

Download/sync your contacts to a compatible program and sync to iphone.
From the manual:
"Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address
Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts,
Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft
Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. ("

Moving from Blackberry to iPhone...

I'm going to upgrade from a Blackberry to an iPhone, and would like to know the easiest way to transfer my contacts and a few photos to the iPhone. I see on my BB on the menu for my phone book an option that says "SIM Phone Book." Does this put all my contacts on the SiM card, and then when I move the SIM card to the iPhone, all my contacts will be there?
I have a multimedia card in the BB; will this be compatible with the iphone, so that my photos can be on the iphone?
I'm not very tech savvy, and hope there's a very simple way to do this.
Thanks!

Hi there.......there is a simpler and much much easier way to do this (and not a lot of ppl are aware of this either).
I have just upgraded my package with O2 from my blackberry onto a new iPhone 5. The first question that hit me is 'how do I transfer all the sim contacts from my blackberry onto my new I-phone ???'
The answer is easy.... Download an app called ( INTOUCH ) onto your blackberry. When you open the app it takes a second to create a user account that is unique to yourself. once you open the app you can then sync all your current sim contacts onto there web server. then download the same app on your new phone (i.e iphone) which you can get on the app store for free. load the app up on your new phone then you can pull all your contacts down to your iphone and thats it ....it really is that simple!!
if you go onto google and type in INTOUCH app you will see the results that come up there. for blackberry users it can be downloaded on bb app world.
as far as im aware the app works on majority of devices, and the beauty is that once you've created an account, any handset you have wit he app installed on it, will automatically and simultaneously update the,selves on each phone with contacts you have either deleted or added etc..

How do I transfer calendar and contact info from blackberry to iPhone 5

I have a blackberry 9300 and just got an iPhone 5. Is there anyway of transferring all my contacts and calendar info over to the iPhone ?
Thanks

You can try apps like dropbox.
Or you can import those pics from your Android to your computer, then use iTunes to sync those photos to your iphone.

Getting email contacts from Blackberry to Iphone 4

I am unable to get my old contacts from Blueberry to Iphone4. Do I have to manually add all contacts and emails in the new phone. I have used VZ contact transfer through My Verizon. It didn't transferr all contacts and no emails.

Unfortunately email account transfers just aren't possible between Blackberry OS and iOS. They're just too different, so you'll need to copy over those server-bits manually.
As for contact transfers, I would see about Syncing the Blackberry with your PC or Mac via Blackberry Desktop:
Mac: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_mac.jsp
PC: http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/desktop_pc.jsp
(if your older handset is unsupported, there is a link on the bottom of the PC page to download earlier versions)
Once the contact information is actually on the PC or Mac, syncing will be much easier to do through applications like Outlook, Entourage, Address Book, or even online solutions like MobileMe and Google Sync.

Switching from blackberry to iphone what do i do

Hi
Just got iphone 5s, how do i switch the cell service over from blackberry

When you purchased the iPhone 5S, didn't you tell the vendor the cellular telephone number, etc.? It should be all set then. Just turn your iPhone on and follow the directions.

Help! Just swapped from Blackberry to iPhone & drowning in spam

Just got 3g iPhone and set up my O2 pop3 account for email and getting crazy amount of spam - any advice gratefully received.
Thanks - Graeme

Advice? Get another email provider... you shouldn't have to deal with that. I had the same problem before I got the iPhone and I switched to GMail for personal stuff... I now get maybe a few spams/month. I would guess that Yahoo is just as good, although I have little experience with them. Both work well with the iPhone.

*** upgraded from blackberry to iphone now apple store isn't loading, **** I should have just stayed with Blackberry

Transfer all data from blackberry bold 9780 to iPhone 5

I have a iPhone 5 16 GB recently purchased, I need to transfer all data from the Black Berry Bold.
I need all contacts, documents, pics, E-Mail set-up etc. basically everything.
I need a seamless transition from one to the other. I have not even opened up the iPhone box yet.
Does anyone have a simple easy way to do this?
Only thing I have to work with is the iPad!
Was thinking of iCloud but have no Wi-Fi connection here.
Please help?

If anyone is still struggling with this problem for the iphone 5 I just figured out how to fix it! it wasn’t easy because google sync doesn’t work on a blackberry anymore and outlook doesn’t help if you don’t got it so I had to go the long way and spend 2hrs of my time figuring it out while the actual solution only takes 5 mins!
So I downloaded an app called "Phone to Phone transfer" there’s other apps like this one but this is the only one that’s available on both blackberry and iOS so its the one I used and it worked, read: 3 steps to transfer all contacts from BlackBerry to iPhone 5
1) Download the app on your blackberry and sign-up for an account i used an email i barely use and its free so it was all quick and easy
2) Sync your contacts on your blackberry using the app
3) Download the same app this time on your iPhone and use the same log-in details as you used when you signed up on your blackberry
4) Sync contacts again and press download and... that’s it! all your contacts are now on your new iPhone.

Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.

Probably will never ever think of buying a locked phone from AT&T cause its one of the worst system integrations ever that these companies could think of.
The entire problem started when I put in a request with at&t to unlock my iphone 4s (ios7) which did get approved. I performed the entire instructions they asked me to do, which is to backup and restore. After doing those instructions my iphone gave me an error message below
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Basically saying that at&t hasn't still unlocked the iphone which a really helpful apple executive was able to confirm. I initiated another unlock process from at&t in order to unlock the iphone, just to be sure that its not something wrong from my end. The nice at&t lady stayed on chat with me to unlock the iphone step my step while I was calling the apple tech too. And the apple tech confirmed again that the iphone is locked to at&t.
Now, just a few minutes ago I tried another restore to see if any progress is being made and to my surprise I got an error message saying
Replacement Needed. This iphone is not able to complete the activation process and needs to be replaced. Please visit your nearest apple store or authorized service center.
I feel like I am just going around these two different "money hogger" companies which set certain rules and regulations to screw a regular phone buyer. I purchased this iphone in USA and trying to unlock in India, is it really this hard to simply unlock a device.
For now I am going to try to call a apple office in india (apprently we don't have very many out here) and see if they can help me. But any other assistance regarding unlocking an iphone 4s would be helpful. I have however, tried checking IMEI.info, called up apple, talked to at&t (which always say go talk to apple) I do have a case number from apple as well in case an apple executive reads this discussion forum (case number: 566383594)
Thanks

You got a confirmation from AT&T that it was authorized. Is this correct? - Yes i did get an email authorization on the 21st.
Then you connected the phone to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed. You clicked on the phone's name in iTunes, then clicked "Backup Now". - Yes
When that finished you clicked "Restore iPhone" (NOT "Restore Backup") - Yes
Are you with me so far? - Yes.
And @ Varjak is right that after the 3rd restore I get the replacement error.
Plus I have NEVER jailbroken the iPhone. To give you another update, I spoke to a really nice apple tech in India who was atleast able to get me out of the replacement error by doing a recovery mode option. However, the lastest restore still gives me the same error
The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier.

i bought this phone in 2013 from dubai and used till last year june. I dropped the phone and got a problem with display as well as earpiece.
Later the phone was having a carrier network issue. Was showing searching. i restored the phone to factory settings and when i tried to set up the phone, its showing that the phone cant be activated at this moment, please try again later.
If your phone was bought second-hand (used) - something you haven't made clear - and it was Activation Locked by the previous owner (this wouldn't show up until you upgraded or reset it) then only he can unlock it. If you can't contact him to do so then you will not be able to use the phone. You can tell if this is the case because it will be asking for an Apple ID (which it will display partially) which is not yours.
On the other hand if this was a new phone then you may have hit a temporary outage in the activation server and you should wait a bit then try again.

UK iPhone Activation; transferring from another network

Does anyone know if the UK iPhone will have a similar facility to the US iPhone, where you can transfer a number from another network via iTunes if purchasing over-the-counter in a UK Applestore?
I've been told by an O2 rep that the only way to transfer my number from another network (Orange) is to ask them for a PAC code, go into an O2 store on iPhone release, give them the PAC code I've got from Orange, and then wait 5 days while they request the number from Orange, transfer it to my iPhone (which in the meantime will have a temporary number) and then wait 5 days for it to be activated with the transferred number.
In the US it appears that you can simply purchase a boxed iPhone, activate it through iTunes, and--as part of that process--type in your current number and it's transferred as part of the activation process almost immediately.
Do we know if it's going to work in a similar way over here, or do I really have to jump through all of O2's hoops? I have a suspicion they are only telling me this is the process as (a) they have no idea about a possible alternative, or (b) they want to make the sale rather than an Applestore.
Anyone know?

The process by which numbers can be ported from one carrier to another is very simple in the US, not just with the iPhone. If I were to walk into a T-Mobile store and want to transfer my number from AT&T to one of their plans, it would be equally easy.
If porting a number is more complicated in the UK than it is here, it's hard to predict whether the process will look the same or not.
