Best way to port from Verizon to AT&T (device only)

My wife and I are Verizon customers. We wish to switch to AT&T's Mobile Share. We currently have Verizon iPhone 5's and plan on purchasing the device only Verizon iPhone 6 Plus because of it's GSM/CDMA capabilities. Since Apple is not yet offering device only iPhone 6's for purchase online, we will have to wait until they have them in stock at our local Apple store. We are considering going with the AT&T double your data plan. Our concern is that the iPhone 6 Plus won't be in stock by the end of October when the double your data plan offer expires. What would be the best way to ensure that we don't miss out on this offer? Create a Mobile Share account now for our Verizon iPhone 5's, since they work on GSM, and when we purchase the iPhone 6's, put the AT&T SIM cards in them and then tell AT&T we want to port our Verizon number to AT&T? Will we need to tell AT&T that we have replaced our iPhone 5's with iPhone 6's? My understanding is that we can only request the porting via a phone call to AT&T or in an AT&T store. Can we do the rest of the process online?

Ok, I am onboard now...a little dense today
Your plan sounds doable.  The Verizon iPhone 6/6+ come unlocked on the GSM side right out of the box.  So, you can just put in an AT&T nano-sim and activate on the AT&T network.  There are users who have commented on just popping in there old AT&T sim and being operational.  But there are caveats that additional functionality is now available with the iPhone 6/6+ that may need a new sim to use...check with the AT&T folks and see what their take is on that.
Also check on the availability of a contract-free Verizon iPhone so you don't get burned by being locked into a two-year contract by getting a subsidized iPhone 6/6+.
Your plan sounds pretty sound.  I have been thinking of getting a 6 from Verizon, have been a Verizon user for many, many years and don't want to switch, but the unlocked GSM is important.  Travel a lot and it would be nice in other countries to get a pre-paid sim and avoid roaming chargers.

  • What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV - Test - PRD?

    Hi,
    One of my customers recently asked me, Supposing I do the complete integrations and modelling in SOA Suite on the DEV Environment. Then,
    What is the best way to port complete applications from DEV -> Test -> PROD ??
    Also, since the URLs in use in the DEV environment would be very different from other environments, what is the easiest way to maintain them, and to build in Access Control mechanisms ?
    Best Regards

    Hi AJ,
    Nice PDF !
    Though the PDF does give a basic idea as to how we can go about the deployments using ANT and EM in Test and Prod, it doesn't really give extensive details. For eg. ANT would obviously need huge ANT scripts to be written for migrations to multiple Test servers, etc.
    Similarly, when we talk about EM, does it mean each of the services has to be manually deployed on Production ?
    I am sure we would be looking more towards a fully automated solution. No ?
    Best Regards

  • What is the best way to print from an iPad?

    I have the Printer Pro app, and it seems to do a good job locating my wireless printer, but it gets complicated to print webpages or pages documents. What is the best way to print from an iPad 2?

    If you have a compatible printer, use AirPrint http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    If not, you would need to purchase software, such as:

  • Best way to read from a file

    What would be the best way to read from a file. Which classes do I need to use?
    I have to write a program, which reads data from a comma separated flat file, parse it and after inserting some busineess logic insert into a databse .
    I will have to read the data line by line.
    Any help????

    I would use:
         public void readData()
              try
                   data = new String[this.countRows("comp.txt")][];
                   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("comp.txt"));
                   for(int x = 0; x < data.length; x++)
                        StringTokenizer temp = new StringTokenizer(br.readLine(), "?");
                        data[x] = new String[temp.countTokens()];
                        for(int y = 0; y < data[x].length; y++)
                             data[x][y] = temp.nextToken();
              catch(Exception e)
                   System.out.println(e.toString());
         private int countRows(String f)
              int t = 0;
              try
                   BufferedReader brCountRows = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
                   while(brCountRows.readLine() != null)
                        t++;
              catch(Exception e)
                   System.out.println(e.toString());
                   return t;
              return t;
         }It works deliciously!

    What's the best way to go from FCP (5) to AE (7)? I'm exporting as a Quicktime Movie, but not self-contained. Then from AE I make a Quicktime Movie

  • Best way to scan from office jet pro 8600 to mac pro and attach to email

    What is the best way to scan from an officejet pro 8600 printer to a mac pro desktop, attach and scan?

    dunno if you can do it directly, but, assuming the drivers are up-to-date, use Image Capture*, which should get you  a scan, then save it, then when sending the email, click on the paperclip,  and choose whatever it was that you scanned, wherever you saved it....
    and then send it.

    *Preview might work, but I don't recall 100% if it does...
    don't recall seeing anything that'd let you scan something in, then have it go directly to email and send it out, one-step

  • BEST WAY TO RECORD FROM TV

    Whats the best way to record from TV and then be able to edit the footage, without losing quality?
    Is it with a dvd recorder, how to you get the files off the recorder???
    Thanks
    Simon

    If you already have a digital video camera, you can probably do it without buying anything extra. I have done this by connecting the video output from my able box to an input on my video camera, then connected the camera to the computer using the FireWire cable. I opened iMovie and imported the video from there. Of course, it's a bit of a pain, so I haven't done it often, and the quality is only as good as your camera is capable of. You may need to buy the cable to connect the cable box to the camera, though mine came with such a cable.

    I tried the 10.3.9 update, and it messed up some ProTools and MIDI functions. Turns out ProTools (6.5 and 6.5) is approved only up through 10.3.8. (I already backed up from Quicktime 7 back to QT6, and that didn't help.)

    Use these instructions to do an Archive & Install of Mac OS X, and then run the Mac OS X 10.38 combo updater. There is no other way of doing this except for running 10.38 and 10.39 on different partitions.

  • Porting from Verizon

    I waited out the 3G and now I'm ready to make the leap from my Verizon Razr to an AT&T iPhone. Anyone have experience or tips about porting my number from Verizon? In particular, my number is a secondary number on a family plan.
    I haven't seen anything about porting in a while, after some traffic with the original release - does that mean it's all a non-issue now and AT&T/Apple have it all figured out, or is it hopeless and no one even tries?
    Thanks!
    Message was edited for grammar by: Michael King

    I had same experience.
    Got to AT&T store at 9:30am on Saturday. Second in line.
    At 9:45, AT&T employee came out and tells us they had 10 phones; about 8 people in line by then.
    By 10:15, I was out the door having had a great experience. No high pressure sales from clerk (in fact she asked me where I worked so she could check to see if I was entitled to some type of company discount...I was...15% off, making my plan $20 cheaper per month than what I've been paying Verizon for similar service) and iTunes activated immediately.
    At about 12:30, I got a text from AT&T saying my number porting from Verizon was complete. I called my husband and asked him to call me back to check that my iPhone rang and not my Verizon Moto Q. It did!
    Now if only MobMe worked as well....

  • What is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on several devices? (iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone)

    I have several Apple devices (iMac, MacBook and iPhone) and I was wondering what is the best way to sync iCal, AdressBook, etc on these devices?
    I have an iCloud acount as well, but how to sync without seeing enteries double (iCal)?
    Many thanks!

    iCloud should not cause duplicate entries in Calendars unless you are syncing using iTunes as well as Wi-Fi. No need for both.
    iCloud backs up:
    Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and video in the Camera Roll
    Device Settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones

  • How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

    How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
