Am I able to use my Dad's upgrade to get the iPhone 5 on AT&T?

First off, I am on the same billing plan as my Dad on AT&T. He has an upgrade available on his line and I do not until sometime next year. He told me I could use his upgrade to get the iPhone 5 this Friday. I know that it is possible for others to use someone else's upgrade to get a new phone but the problem is that I don't know if it will work with the iPhone 5. I have the iPhone 4, which has a MicroSim card, and the iPhone 5 uses a NanoSim card. Would I still be able to activate the phone under my number once I upgrade my Dad's line and receive the phone given the differences of the Sim cards?
Thanks!

I have done this on other iphones as recently as a month ago. (I have 13 lines)
You have to order the phone under the upgrade number - but when it shows up in the mail you call them and they switch the phone numbers in their system.  You just need both phones in front of you because you need the SIM card numbers and you have to turn them off and back on.

  • HT4059 I have iPod Touch 4 w/ iOS 6.1.5 (10B400). according to the requirements on this page, above, I should be able to use iBooks. However I keep getting the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but your website will not allow me to do so.  Why not?

    ... I should be able to use iBooks. However, I can't. When I try to download the app I get the message that I must upgrade to iOS7 - but then Apple's website won't let me download that either. So far, I have managed to download a book to iTunes on my PC, but I cannot get it to sync with my iPod, although I have synced music, a video and a few other apps. I cannot seem to find a solution to my problems with iBooks or iOS7. Please advise.
    Yours truly,
    Garth Reid
    PS I also cannot get the app for Podcasts.

    Having the same issue here. I unfortunately purchased a book on iTunes, then went to download iBooks, but can't due to their recent update/upgrade.  My kids iTouchs are all 6.1.5 , So I'm guessing that if you did not have iBooks previously purchased that you are now S.O.L. if you want to read a book on your iPod??
    I am rather frustrated that I spent money on a book that they can't read.
    Is there another app that will let them read it?

  • Using someone's upgrade to get the iPhone 5?

    I am getting my iPhone 5 tomarrow by FedEx but I used my moms upgrade to keep my unlimited data .. Do I have to activate it on her line when I get it? Then on mine? Or can i call customer service and will they switch it for me??

    A lot of confusion over this. Long story short, you should call VZW before turning the phone on and maybe by now the reps know what's going on and how to do this but most likely no matter if it's activated on your mom's line first or moved right over to you then you will need to wait up to 24 hours for the phone to activate on your line.
    If a VZW rep tells you that a new SIM is needed or it needs to be swapped, don't believe that. Everything can be done without going into a store or swapping SIM. it might take 24 hours to complete is really the only issue to know.

  • My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of getting the IPhone 4S.  My question is can we both use the functions of Icloud on the same account at Verizon or do we have to have separate accounts to be able to use all the features

    My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S.  My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?

    If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

  • My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    my iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

    It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
    Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
    At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

    Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
    Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
    of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
    When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
    function in the software, I don't get it.
    When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
    working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
    to work with, without being connected to them.
    I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
    without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
    the license fpr LR5 via internet.
    Best regards
    Karl

  • My ipods are no longer recognized after I installed my Iphone I have 2 ipods that I have music on and still want to use them so how do I get the computer to recognize the ipods again?

    I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?

    Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone?  Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
    So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
    What happens now when you connect the iPod?  Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager?

  • How to convince my dad to let me get an iPhone 4S for Christmas?

    So background info:
    I'm 14, have straight A's and NOT a spoiled brat. The only technology I own is a crappy tracfone and an iPod 4th gen that I bought myself.
    Basically, I asked my dad if I could get an iPhone for Christmas, and he said we'll talk about it. I'm planning on telling him that I'll pay the $20 for the data plan every month, and that I'll but the accessories that I need for it. I just want to know of any pros you guys have that I can tell him that would help me convince him for sure.
    Thank you!

    there is a feature on it called find my phone. if u have that turned on he can track u with the apple id that is signed in using his smartphone or icloud.com whenever he wants.
    if ur willing to pretty much put a tracking chip on urself so to speak, thats a good place to start.
    can also mention that it has gps on it and appmaps installed by default so u can always find ur way home or anywhere else for that matter.

  • Is this a more financial-able way to get the iPhone?

    I have a terrible env touch and I'm not due for an upgrade until the end of november 2011. I realize that if I want the iPhone now, I'd have to buy it at the retail price for $650. However, I know that I can cancel my line and then open a new line for $10 and they'll give me the iPhone for $200, right?
    I think the verizon helper my dad was talking to told him that to cancel my current line, it'd be a $125 cancellation fee ... but I was reading on the internet that it's $175? Can someone clarify which one it is? I know for a smartphone it's $350 but obviously the env touch isn't a smartphone.
    So i'm figuring, $125 cancellation fee, $10 for a new line, $214 (tax) for the iphone will all add up to $349... this is surely a better way to go than to pay $700 for the iPhone -- then again this plan seems too good to be true, can anyone elaborate?

    No you don't.  I cancelled and opened another line less than 5 mins later.
    i tend to believ the 60 day rule and think that you got lucky with a rep that didn't know what he or she was doing. the reason i think this is because i COULD SWEAR that last night 2-3 people posted that they did this as well. now those posts are gone? and the ones pointing to the 60 day rule are here. just my theory. there are also other threads on this topic and they all seemed to state that there is a 60 period that, if you try to open a new account, verizon just reinstates the old contract.
    edit---nevermind. aparently the poster has started 2 of the exact same threads???

  • Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

    Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys... 

  • This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

    And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?
