Bought iPhone 5 w/ different line, want to activate it on my line

I pre-ordered an iPhone 5 for myself from Apple's website using my fathers #, because he has the upgrade on our family plan. However, I want to activate the phone on my own line, not his. How would I go about doing this? Will I run into fee's/charges for doing it this way? I tried to transfer upgrades on the Verizon site here, but it wouldn't stick. Thanks

you just call verizion and tell them you want to activate it on the line you want to activate it on.. people say do not turn it on before you do that or you will have to go to a verizon store to get a new sim card. (but others have said thats not the case including vzw people on this board)

    HI
    I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
    I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
    I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
    So what can i do?

  • HT4993 i have bought iphone 5 with no cotract,and activate it with Sprint sim card,I am outside US now , and the phone can't be activate with non sprint sim card. i dont have sprint acount because i bought it from private store,what can i do ?

    Hello,
    I have bought Iphone 5 with no contract (649$ + Tax) and i've activated it with nano sim of sprint (without having sprint account)
    i am outside US now , and i was discover that the phone can't be used because the activation with other sim is failed.
    Sprint says that can't do anything if i dont have sprint account (no sure why they cant locate it VIA SN\IMEI).
    what should i do in order to unlock it ?
    Thanks

    You bought a Sprint phone. Sprint phones are NOT unlocked. Sprint will only unlock the SIM slot for current Sprint customers in good standing for use while travelling internationally.
    You bought the wrong phone.  Since you're not a Sprint customer, you can not get it unlocked. Sell it to someone in the US and buy a phone you can use.

  • Just bought Iphone 3GS updated it but cannot activate??

    Hi I have recently bought an Iphone 3GS on EBay (advertised as unlocked) I connected it to Itunes and updated it to 6.1.3 now I cannot activate it.
    Is there a way I can access the phone at all to get the EIME number as I know that support will ask for that when i contact them.
    HELP

    If you purchased a phone on Ebay advertised as unlocked, then it has probably been jailbroken to unlock it which is why it won't activate. 
    Not a lot you can do now so think on!

  • Bought iphone 5 second hand and cant activate my iphone because the owner forgot to delete previous apple id account

    please help anyone asap bought a iphone 5 of this guy but cant activate my iphone cause the previous owner forgot to delete his old apple account and now i cant activate my iphone 5 and i cant get in touch with the previous owner cause i dont know him haha

    Sorry, but you can't use that iPhone. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure; Apple won't unlock that device for you.

  • Did anyone order the iPhone on a different line and activate it on your line?

    I'm going to pick my iPhone up tonight and want to know if anyone activated their iPhone which they ordered from a different line?
    How did you do it and can I do it without having to activate it through the line it was ordered from?

    People have bought an iPhone under one line and activated it for another line.
    Here's how to do it, everyone says Verizon's walkthrough is a good one:

  • HT5661 bought a used iphone want to activate ????

    Bought a used iphone want to activate it keeps saying COULD NOT BE ACTIVATED because the server is temporarily unavailable
    Its on Vodafone and have used two active simcards with Vodafone and still unable to activate account with Apple
    Help required

    Possible causes:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

  • Bought Iphone! But don't want to use it for calling! How to activate it ???

    Hi,
    just bought an Iphone but don't want use it for calling is there a way to activate it without having a contract with at&t or so! I mean I am not sure if there is a way to do this if anybody knows if it's possible and knows how to do it, I would be very THANKFULLLLLLLL!!!! I need help prettty fast thanks so much!

    Why start a new thread on the same topic as before the answers will all be the same you have to activate the iPhone through iTunes and sign a contract with AT&T to activate the iPhone otherwise you wont be able to take pictures or listen to music or use other features, didn't you do any research on the iPhone before purchasing it??? Sounds like you need to return your iPhone where you bought it and just pay the restocking fee and call it good.

  • I had bought iPhone 5 16g on line, but i want iphone 5 64g right now, so,what can i do ?

    i had bought iPhone 5 16g on line, but i want iphone 5 64g right now, so,what can i do ?

    If you purchased thru your carriers website you could try calling your nearest company owned store to see if they do an exchange when you receive the 16GB. Chances are they have a larger demand for the 16GB then the 32GB.  You're still going to have to wait until your receive your 16GB though.  At least that's how AT&T works.
    Hope that helps.

  • I want to activate Iphone 5c in Israel . May I ?

    I bought an Iphone 5c in USA. Now I want to activate it in ISRAEL. It is possible ?

    That depends. Did you purchase an unlocked phone? If so, you should be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier, though it won't work on LTE networks outside of North America.

  • I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

    I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

    On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out."  Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.)  Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
    Hope this helps.

    If FaceTime is not hidden by Restrictions (Settings>General<Restrictions) you got duped. iPods officially sold in Dubai and some other countries that prohibit FT do not have FT and there is not way to get FT on those iPods.
