Buying a Phone in Vietnam

Hi,
My european phone was stolen by some kids on the beach in Cambodia. It is a shame, but I would still like to have a a phone for the rest of my travels, and hopefully be able to use the same phone when I get home.
The problem is: I live in Sweden and when I get home I need the Swedish languange on my phone. I have no problem with the English language, but I will need the extra three letters we use in Sweden to be able to write Swedish text messages. Now comes my problem:
The phones they sell here do not have Swedish as a standard language. Is it possible to buy a phone and set English as a standard language, and then try to change it to Swedish when I get home? The phone in question is a Nokia Lumia 520 (with windows as operating
system).

You can switch between different languages, See list of supported languages in windows 8 here .
And regarding extra 3 letters, I don't have any information.

Can I buy a phone verizon pay as you go and use it on my verizon contract?

My verizon wireless broke and I don't have insurance and I'm six months before I can qualify to renew a contract, so I'm stocked in trying to get a second hand phone, but I saw the same model of my broken phone selling in flea bay from the verizon pay as you go. My question is, can I use one of those phones to be activated on my verizon? I would hate to buy the phone and later find out that verizon won't activate it.

Can you go to a Verizon store and buy a phone at full retail and use it on prepaid?

As a current prepaid customer with a 3G iPhone 4, I was looking forward to July 17 to see exactly what Verizon was going to offer for prepaid in terms of 4G LTE. Some of the phones I like but was thinking of some other phones that Verizon offers their postpaid customers but not to prepaid. I wanted to know if I walk into a Verizon store and offered to buy any phone at full retail price, would they sell it to me knowing it would be used on prepaid? The phone I was interested in was the LG G3 but there may be others.

You would only need to trade in your current phone if you are still under contract AND eligible for the early edge offer. The early upgrade may be available if you have less than 1 yr to go on your contract.
If you are off-contract and eligible for an upgrade you can get a new phone on the Edge program (assuming you are eligible).
As to same-day phone - that still depends on if the phone you want is available or has to be ordered.

Hi Dude, I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna geta iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days??? Is it advisable to buy a phone

Hi Dude,
I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna get a iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days??? Is it advisable to buy a phone from abroad.

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Have dead phone, cannot sign-in b/c of Secret Question. Plan head is daughter (out of country). No access for plan members and no access if phone dead. Need to learn deals, buy a phone, etc. ADVICE?

HOW CAN I REPLACE MY DEAD PHONE; BUY A NEW ONE, ADDING TO FAMILY PLAN WHEN I CAN"T EVEN SIGN-IN?
I hope this community can tell me tell how I can get through the Verizon sign-in process soI can buy a phone to replace my currently dead one.
I am a member of a Family Plan run by my daughter (out of the country for a week)and even with her ID and password, Verizon does not accept my sign-in attempt when I could not answer her Secret Question.   With a dead phone, I cannot get from Verizon including a PIN. I can use my husband's phone (also in the Familhy Plan) but Verizon does not allow access to anyone but the registered plan administrator. My phone number-- with decades of phone bills from Verizon --- is "not recognized. " Huh?
I am so frustrated. HELP!! How can I access Verizon:
--to buy a phone and add to Family plan;
--delete dead phone from plan;
--learn the gory financial details of a contract, and
--arrange for that new phone to be shipped to me.
I had tried the live chat, but I had to leave the page to locate my daughter's phone number. Since I never actually type it out, and since it was locked inside my dead phone, I had to reach out to my family so they could look ion their contact phone lists. And now I cannot regain access Chasmine, my chat person.
I would be grateful for any advice.   I am without a working phone and beginning to believe I shall remain that way. I would walk away from Verizon except it would work against my family and their contracts. However, I have learned just how powerful an essential company can be when it takes advantage of people dependent on its "services."
Meanwhile, the reality is I need to know how to deal with Verizon and get a phone. All thoughts are welcome and appreciated. I cannot even find a phone number to try to talk to a Verizon person.   Thank you

Youll still have to be the account owner to make those changes.
Is the account owner unavailable to make that change from their location?

Can I buy a phone from a third party and put my sim card in it?

My son has an Intensity 3 and I want to upgrade him to a smartphone but he's not upgrade eligible for another year. Can I buy a phone like a Galaxy S4 from a third party and put the sim card from the Intensity in it?

Yes. You can call Verizon and have them mail you a compatible SIM card or go to one of the stores to pick it up.
You will want to make sure the device you get has a clean ESN before you purchase it and has not been reported lost or stolen. If you have the device id CS can help you tell if it's clean. Or you can use the link below to check.

Question on buying a phone outright to keep my unlimited Verizon contract.

Howdy I have a contract that I've had for about 8+ years its totally unlimited.
My old DroidX is on it's last leg.
Verizon wants me to buy a new phone and contract, limiting my limits.
I seldom reach their minimum basic account, they say I don't need unlimited, but my contract cost me the same amount out of my pocket as their lowest plan.
They say they want to take away the unlimited beczause it slows everyone down.
I say Bunk!
I seldom reach high numbers, so how can my long term customer history be a problem for them.
Let me keep my plan, so just incase I need it, after all it's the same price, short pennies one way or the other.
they told me I could buy a phone outright, but at thier store its upto $700 for whats on thier shelves.
Ok so that said, How and where, and what phone can and will work. The DroidX is on on a 3G service plan, can a 4G phone still be placed on this plan.
I searched sights, and found Verizon phones for around $200, that are like NOS form a year or so ago, but can I actually just buy one and activate it to my account?
I'm terribly in the dark and confused, and frustrated to be told I have to do what they want now.
We signed a Contract, I've never missed a payment, I've kept my end of the bargian, bla bla bla
Thanks for any and all help

Hi there T_O_A_D-
Welcome to the Best Buy forums!
It certainly sounds like you have a great set up with your current contract with Verizon and I completely understand why you’d want to keep it based on your current usage. I’ll be honest, I’m no expert when it comes to mobile phone contracts and what’s available out there any longer (my wife handles ours..
However, it does seem like more and more companies are restricting the ability to have unlimited data unless you are signing up for a new contract with them (along with an accompanying new phone). I’ve requested that one of our Super Users, who is a mobile phone expert, come on to this post and offer his opinion (MMaier is his name). Hopefully he will be on pretty quickly to give you some advice. Otherwise, I would also suggest contacting your nearest Best Buy and speaking with one of our Best Buy Mobile agents as well.
Thanks for posting and welcome to the conversation!

Service discount when buying a phone outright

Looking into the possibility that we will change our service plan to this MORE EVERYTHING stuff and I saw the nice discount that was offered to EDGE participants. For two of the lines, we already have newer Moto Xs and the other three that we would be adding we would just buy outright when we converted to the new plan. So based on that information, and what I gleaned from the MORE EVERYTHING FAQs page, we wouldn't get the $25 per line, per month discount.
Just trying to understand why when we are not buying subsidized phones, that we wouldn't be getting some type of discount on the price of the plan.

If you move to (or are on) the MoreEverything plan - any smartphone line not on a contract because you bought the devices outright, or have completed the 2 yr agreement IS eligible for the monthly discount.

I was wondering, would be able to use my eligible upgrade on 1 phone line to buy a phone for another line?

Hey, I was wondering if I would be able to use my eligible upgrade on one phone line to buy a phone for another line?.
Also, I saw a commercial on TV about getting a plan with 10 gb of data for like 130 a month, that does include the cost of both phones instead of 130 + 40 + 40 for each smartphone on the line?...

The $130 price is actually $110 and is for 2 situations, none of which involve subsidized contract upgrade.
1) Edge payment plan. Cost of service is $110, but then the monthly phone payment added to that, usually around $25/phone
2) phones out of contract, then it is $110 with no extra charges.
The the costs break down is $80 for data, and $15/line

BUying the phone form the Apple store vs the phone store

Is there any advantage to buying the phone from the Apple store vs the ATT people? I found with my Treo the ATT folks don't know much about it and also didn't offer any insurance for it either!

There used to be a huge difference. AT&T would let you order, while  would make you come and stand in line. With the 3GS, Apple allowed pre-orders.
Now, there is no difference. If you are the only person on your account, it is pretty simple to set it up. If you have multiple cell phones on your accounts, it may be better to let ATT set it up to handle the complexity. (But either way, you can call AT&T 1-800 number to resolve any issues.)

Verizon Employees Actively Discouraging customers from Buying Windows Phones

My wife and I both decided to buy Windows phones this time around. We had previously been Android people but wanted to try something different. We walked into our local corporate store (somewhere in TX) and when we told the salesman what we wanted (weren't interested in, but WANTED) he told us "you don't want those". We tried for a few minutes to convince him that YES, we did want those and when that didn't work we eventually had to go and get a manager in order to actually purchase the things we came in for.
After looking at all of the forums outside of Verizon it seems that this is the normal experience.
This is unacceptable. I don't care if you want to buy an iPhone, a Nexxus, an Icon, or an HTC One M8. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior. VZW needs to take a good look at their culture and remind their employees that they are a vehicle for delivery to the public, not gatekeepers. We need to let the CEO know about what is going on in his stores.
You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money.
Also, it would be really great if he would consider releasing the WP 8.1/Cyan update which is already sitting in VZW's hands at some point.

Yea, I've posted about this very thing before. As the techie in the family and for all my friends, everyone comes to me before they purchase any tech gear (as well as having me for their free support hotline. ) When I take people into Verizon and discuss the pros and cons of each of the phone operating systems as well as the devices themselves, I give the individual the choice as to which device they purchase. But if the person chooses a Windows Phone, almost every time the Verizon staff actively tries to push them towards Apple or Android. There's even been times that Verizon told us that there is no such thing as a Windows Phone. Just a few days ago, I took someone in and they wanted the Icon. The clerk said there was no such thing. I took them over to the wall and showed it to them. They became quite angry and unprofessional. I grabbed the manager and she didn't care. The person still wanted the Icon and when they brought out the phone, they brought out the iPhone and tried to set us up with that.
Unfortunately, it's not isolated to one store or one city. I personally know many people around the USA where the Verizon store staff have shown the same animosity towards Windows.

Do I have to pay the upgrade fee if I buy my phone from apple?

I can't find anywhere where the upgrade fee is explained fully. I know if I buy my phone from apple, it is a "verizon" phone -- will they charge me the upgrade fee, will verizon charge it when I activate the phone, or does it not apply if I buy it via the apple store?

If you are buying the phone at full price (or Verizon EDGE), there won't be any upgrade fee. If you are getting a subsidized phone (2-year contract) there will be an upgrade fee.

I am to purchase a second hand iphone 4. but the seller says it can't be used as a phone as it doesn't have a sim card slot. he says he is not aware if the phone is unlocked or not... should i buy this phone??

Depends
If you need a cellphone then No.
If he wants more than $1 then No.
I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.
