Basic Phones but I still have to pay for data?

I want to change my plan over from the 700 min plan to the Family share plan with unlimited talk and text...the only problem is that we have 4 basic phones. I can pay the $30 per phone per month no problem...but then I'm forced to select the base 300mb of data plan (for $40/month) as well. What is this paying for? I'd be throwing away $40 a month for data that I can't use since we have basic phones. There should be another option. Has anyone else encountered this, and had it resolved?

Actually basic phones CAN use data. Also you're not paying $40 for the data. You paying $40 for unlimited minutes and texting AND data. And since the unlimited minutes and texting have a $40 value the 300 MB is basically FREE.
If you need more minutes then you can get the 1400 minute plan for $20 more than what you're paying for now as was said. or 2000 minutes for $40 more.
So let's break this down
1400 minutes, 4 lines, unlimited texting = $140
2000 minutes, 4 lines unlimited texting =$160
Share Everything 4 lines, unlimited minutes and texting 300 MB data=$160.
If you're going to need more than 1400 minutes Share Everything is better.

If you get an iPhone 5s sim free do you have to pay for data

I want to get an iPhone 5s but do want data. I was wondering if I get a sim free iPhone do I still have to pay for data?

Sim free does not mean that you can make calls or use the Internet for free. To use the
Phone, you will have to contact the wireless provider that you intend to use to see what
service plans they offer. Most wireless providers require you to have a data plan in addition
to a plan for regular phone service when using an iPhone.

My lock button on my iphone broke, i have apple care, but will i still have to pay for it to be fixed when i send it in? and how will i get a loaner phone?

The lock button on my iphone is jammed, and i need to send it in to get it fixed. Can someone explain the process to me of sending in your phone to apple? and even if i have apple care, will i still have to pay for my phone to be fixed? if so, around how much do you think this would cost? im not familiar with apple, so any help would be great! thanks!

If your phone was damaged by you or in accidental damage, then you would be liable to pay for the repairs. Apple does not offer "loaner" phones, but if you have a credit card, they will "advance ship" a replacement to you so you can get it, then return your damaged one to them and as long as they get it back within a resonable time and it is warranty covered damage, they do not charge you for the replacement iPhone, but they do charge you a fee for the advanced replacement option (about $40-80 USD IIRC).
You can eliminate all the at by making an appointment at a local AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) and they should be able to check your iPhone on the spot. It it is covered under the warranty, they shoud replace it for free right there, and if not, they would let you know and you have the choice to make the repairs or not.

My iphone warranty just ended a week ago but I need to get it fixed because my power button is not working, do I still have to pay for it to be fixed even though my warranty ended a week ago?

Your warranty expired, so of course you will have to pay.

HT1473 If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?

Other details:
First album/s- Dookie (Green Day), american idiot (green day)
and 21st century breakdown (green day)
Album with same songs in it- international super hits (green day)

If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?
Yes.
The album which the song has been listed under (on the song's page) is listed in your library under that album. The song is then removed automatically from the first album
No it's not.
Purchasing a new song or album will not affect any other song or album in your library.
In the case of the two albums you mention, if you purchase them both, you will have the same song (different copies) in both albums.

I have a full creative cloud subscription, do I still have to pay for Forms Central?

I have Acrobat XI as part of my Creative Cloud subscription, why or do I have to upgrade and pay for Forms Central too, this seems a bit harsh and greedy in my opinion. I am just a single user.

Hi Chris,
On the trial period screen of Acrobat, please select 'License this software' and use your Adobe ID to license it.
The subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.
Please let me know if it worked for you or not.

I bought a season pass, but iTunes says I still have to pay for a specific episode

I purchased the season pass for Big Bang Theory, Season 7 a while ago, and up until now, I haven't had any issues. However, when I went to download the latest episode that came out last night, it only has the option to purchase the episode. I tryed going through the purchases menu in the store, and every episode except this one came up as already bought. I cannot use iCloud download either.

First go to your iTunes menu, STORE, login with your AppleID (if you have not done so), then Authorise your computer under the same STORE menu
Now , go to iTunes store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the top right window. Go through all the tabs to download again for free.

If I upgrade to Lion now will I still have to pay for Mountain Lion?

And if so - does it matter - as it may be a pre-requisit for upgrading in the summer?
I currently have snow leopard, but having recently added an iPad to the family - Lion appears to be a better fit.

Well, its gonna be priced seperately regardless to lion, but if you buy a new mac or macbook pro before a month of its release, you may be entilled for an upgrade for free. This is what apple did last year with new mac owners, otherwise we've to pay or mountain lion.

I got a new iphone and saved my photos from the old phone on icloud. I entered my info on the new phone, but the pictures have been loading for days on my new phone and nothing is happening. Please help!!

I have over 900 photos for three years that I am unable to access. Is there a way to get photos from Icloud to my computer without using my phone as well??

Hello lynxfan12,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
When you say that you saved your photos to iCloud, are you referring to doing an iCloud backup? If you are attempting to recover from an iCloud backup over Wi-Fi, the process can take a long time to complete.
The restore process is taking a long time to finish.
The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
If you're traveling between countries, the restore process might take longer than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.
If you need help restoring an iCloud backup

Take care,

I have an iPhone 5s and my screen popped out. I am paying insurance can I just go and ask them to replace my phone or do I have to pay for phoneclaim or any company similar to that?

My back camera won't work. Also if I try to use my camera my phone keeps restarting.

If the screen popped out, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store. The device is still under warranty and unless this is user damage, they should replace it. However, Apple makes that call. I wouldn't worry about insurance unless Apple will not replace it.

HT4914 when you have subscribed to iTunes match do you still have to pay for downloading?

and is there a limit to how much you download per month or year?

You've paid to have your music collection that is on your computer's iTunes (whether it was bought from iTunes, bought from other sites and/or copied from CDs) stored in the cloud - so you can then access/download/stream from your computers and/or iOS devices without having to copy them over yourself
