Buying a refurbished phone from a third party to replace the one I bought on contract, will that cancel my current plan?

I've been having power button issues with my Samsung Galaxy S3 that I bought in July 2012.  Unfortunately my only option now is to have it repaired, which of course costs money.  If I were to just buy a refurbished phone online somewhere that is compatible with the Verizon network, can I activate that phone fairly easily with my current number (which deactivates my Galaxy S3)?  Also, will that cancel my current plan that I am on right now?  I have unlimited data which is why I'm asking.

You'd need to obtain the ESN/MEID from the seller and enter it here:

  • 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.

  • I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM. CAN YOU USE A EXSTERNAL CD ROAM ON A MAC?

    I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM? CAN YOU USE AN EXSTERNAL CD ROAM WITH A MAC?

    Apple will gladly sell you a color coordinated and texture matching external SuperDrive to go with your Retina'ized MBP for about $80 bucks.
    Note that those models are completely sealed with no serviceable or upgradeable parts inside. So if you decide to bite the bullet, be sure to customize its guts to your heart's content from the get-go as no further change will be possible. This means CPU speed, amount of RAM and size of the solid state drive. Other external options, like the Superdrive, can be added later.

  • What happens exactly when you buy a phone from a third party?

    My contract is going to end this month and I have a $50 gift card to Best buy. I already posted up a question but for this post I want to know exactly what will I get and what will I won't get.
    I'm hoping to buy a Droid Incredible or a Droid X2 or a Droid 3. (Have any reviews about one, two, or all of them? if you can please type them up... I already read reviews from the webpage and on google but you know more reviews are better)
    So first of all, I want to get the Droids from Bestbuy... I want to. Not I have to. Otherwise, I can get a phone in a nearby Verizon store.  (And I know that sometimes third party stores are bad and this one person said she got hers from walmart. But a lot of technology from walmart is bad. Bestbuy is a lot better in having better condition, quality, etc technology.)
    Will I get warranty/insurance from Bestbuy?
    Can I do a little demo or something like that as I search through Bestbuy's phones?
    Do I get like a return guarantee or something like that if I don't like it?
    If there are other things that I will get or won't get, please state what they are
    Finally, I've been asking specific questions about updating but since none of them apply to me, I want to know what I am eligible for.
    For a brief description: I had an LG EnV 3 but I lost that one and instead of buying a new phone, I just traded my mom's old phone (which was broken so she got a new, same type phone that she graciously gave me). And according to the employee there, when I traded phones, I was still eligible in upgrading to a new phone... Anyway, my mom's actual phone (not the one that I have) is the first line on the family plan. I will ugprade my phone when my two year contract expires.
    So what do you think I'm eligible for?
    I thought I was going to get $100 off but someone says that that's only for the first line... which is kinda confusing since the verizon employee said that me and my sister will get $100 when we upgrade our phones.
     I'm going to call Verizon either today or tomorrow but it's always good to know what non-employees know as long as its valid.

    Will I get warranty/insurance from Bestbuy?----From what I heard they do have their own insurance program that hey take out of your card directly. If you get it and Verizon teels you that you dont have insurance, dont freak out cause they cant see that.----- Can I do a little demo or something like that as I search through Bestbuy's phones?---- I dont know what you mean by a demo, but they do have phones on display to demo last I checked.------- Do I get like a return guarantee or something like that if I don't like it?---- They have a 30 day guarantee I believe, but remember that's for the phone, not for the contract thru vzw.====$100 is for primary line only, rep at store apparently wasnt paying attention or somethin lol. other than that, best buy is a 3rd party, which probaly has their own contract you will probaly sign, so you will need to read their terms throughly!!!

  • Should I buy a new battery from a third party vendor?

    Hello,
    I am totally new to this portion of support and to the world of laptops so please bear with me for a moment. I don't think I need a new battery yet but I did some research on-line and the general consensus seems to be that Apple and batteries don't mix. Should I go with a 3rd party battery? I want to have a spare in case I need it.
    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    If you don't need a spare battery now, there is little reason to get one. LiIon batteries deteriorate a small amount whether you use it or not, so the common wisdom goes. You can buy replacements online overnight if you have no store nearby, so I see little reason to have spares on hand unless absolutely critical. I would have no problem with Apple or Newertech Nupower batteries myself, but even they can go bad at variable times. A 6 month (Apple, I think) or 1 year warranty (Newertech) is about all you can expect. I would question others, especially ones that are too cheap. Counterfeits are very easy to make.

  • I got my phone fixed from a third party and now my phone won't even come on and my screen turns blue and starts all over again. Is there a way I can get it fixed

    BBroken screen got fixed from a third party and now the apple sign shows for about 25 seconds and then it turns blue and starts all the way over

    The problems go deeper than the screen...the person who did the repairs has not made all of the connections correctly.  The iPhone needs to be opened again, and then reconnect the new screen and be sure all other connections are still in place where they should be.

  • PLEASE HELP!! I've used iWeb to create multiple sites, all published to third party servers.  The very last site I made changes to is showing up in any domain file I open - despite their different names and locations on my iMac.  I just switched to Lion.

    Please HELP!!  I just switched to Lion.  I have created multiple websites using iWeb  3.0.4 and despite my having saved their 'domain' files in various locations and using different filenames, upon opening the domain files I keep getting the very last site I published.  All the sites were published to third party servers.  The domain files (still have a preview that look correct and have different file sizes) but keep going back to the last site published. HELP ME PLEASE!! Are the old files still available?!!

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Hey good day. i recently made a back up on my phone. then i took some pictures and videos. i accidentally restored the phone. some pictures and videos including pictures from my third party application were all gone. can i still have those back?

    hey good day. i recently made a back up on my phone. then i took some pictures and videos. i accidentally restored the phone. some pictures and videos including pictures from my third party application were all gone. can i still have those back?

    No. If you restored the device to an older backup, then the device was brought back to that date and time, which was before those photos were taken. When you restored the device, it deleted everything off the phone and replaced it with the earlier information.

  • Receiving a calendar event message from a third party on a BB Z10

    I have a BB Z10 on the UK Vodafone network. My Z10 is set to GMT time and correctly shows that I am in the "Dublin, London" time zone. This is the GMT time zone description that all BB devices that I have ever owned have shown.
    This afternoon (UK time) i received a calendar event notification from a client who I have since established was at his desk in London when he sent the message advising me of a conference call to take place next week.
    The advice on the Z10 has five clear sections: "Status", "Date", a bell symbol to indicate when the reminder will sound, and a fifth symbol indicating the number on which to call in, and the PIN code.
    However, and this is my serious problem, there is a third section on the advice which has a globe symbol and appears to exist to indicate where the person setting up the event was located when he/she sent the message. In the specific case of which I write, the message states "This event is displayed in local time, but was created in Reykjavik (GMT) [sic}". The actual message shows the time for the event as one hour later than the actual time that the event is scheduled to take place - in other words GMT + 2 hours - namely the time in continental Europe and Reykjavik.
    I have serious issues with this:
    1) Is it the real intention to indicate where the sender of the message was located when the message was sent?
    2) if yes, this is a serious breach of privacy
    3) if yes, the location is wrong, as the person who sent me the message has confirmed that he was at his desk in London
    4) if no what is the purpose in indicating where "the message was created" (BB's words - not mine)
    5) the indicated time of the event is wrong - it has assumed a different time zone than that in which I and the sender are located.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and what has BB got to say about it???
    Thanks

    I received the e-mail notification on Microsift Outlook from a third party (i.e. not someone within my own organisation).
    The same invite on both my lap-top  computer and my BB 9900 Bold did not have any mention about the sender being in Iceland (or anywhere else!) and showed the correct time and time-zone for the agreed meeting - namely, 8,30am on Friday the 19th April.
    I confirm that my Z10 is set to the "Dublin, London (+0)" time zone and is currently showing the correct British Summer Time of 16.31. The device switched automatically to British Summer Time on Sunday 31st March.
    I would welcome your comments.
    In every other respect (apart from the infamous Outlook USB synching issue about which I am sure you have heard more than enough!!), the Z10 is an outstanding device and deserves to be the device which at long last wipes the smile off the faces of those equine rumps in Cupertino, California!!
    I am expecting the roll-out of the Q10 in the UK in a couple of weeks  - please??!!
    Thanks again for your help and assistance

  • Does Resetting Internet Explorer Maintenance settings from GPO will also remove the proxy set in IE by a third party tool when the GPO refreshes for the first time

    Hi,
    We have two GPO's with IE maintenance (Preference Mode Configured)
    The settings it has are
    1. Automatically detect configuration settings - Set to Enabled.
    2. Automatic Browser configuration - Not configured.
    We do not have proxy value set in IE through this GPO.
    We have proxy set in IE through a third party tool (TPT) which updates the proxy at logon event 5 and 10.
    Does Resetting Internet Explorer Maintenance settings from these GPO's also clear proxy set in IE by third party tool after the first GPO refresh. 
    I am sure the second time when the GP refreshes, the client won't find any IEM settings and hence there is no question of the proxy set in IE by TPT to erase. It is only the first time of the GPO refresh that I am concerned about.
    Can someone please guide as I am planning to do the same in our production and concerned about the downtime caused due to the proxy being removed if at all for the first time.

    It will disable the proxy server option in Internet Options (untick the box), but will still store your proxy details.
    Thanks

  • Calling IPC from a third party web application

    ISA, IPC experts,
    We have CRM 4.0 with IPC 4.0. We are developing an in house web application  in jsp/java for dealer orders. Our office staff uses CRM Online for Order Entry.
    We want to use the existing pricing procedures in the IPC to derive the pricing for the web project so our user can see the price for a given product prior to placing the order in CRM.
    How can we call IPC from a third party order software in java? prefereably without installing a standalone IPC (heard that IPC 5.0 may not support standalone mode)?
    Can you help us with ways to call the IPC from our in house web application, or point us to some documentation about the ipc client layer?
    Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
    Yanhui Yu

    Hi Yanjui,
    if you have a CRM installation, an IPC is part of that installation. Connect your web application to that IPC. The IPC comes with its own web applications, which base on a package com.sap.spc.remote.client.object. These are APIs that you might consider using in your web application. The package should be documented with the API docs that come with your web apps, but I'm not sure about how this is delivered (sorry).
    Concerning upgradability to CRM 5.0: The IPC there does not come as its own server anymore, but offers ABAP RFC functions that are actually implemented in Java using new Netweaver technology. The 5.0 RFCs are similar, but not identical to the old IPC commands / RFCs, so an upgrade is no problem, but some changes are required. The same applies for com.sap.spc.remote.client.object, which has changed a bit as a result of the changes in the IPC APIs below.
    Alternatively to using com.sap.spc.remote.client.object, you might also try to directly call the RFC functions of the IPC server. Finding out what the various parameters that you have to pass do is not too tricky:
    - in your IPC installation, a file <ipc>/lib/properties/servercommands.xml contains all RFCs that the IPC knows.
    - for the RFC you want to use check the respective javaname in that file.
    - for that javaname check class com.sap.spc.remote.server.command.<javaname> in the javadoc API Documentation that is part of your IPC installation. This will contain rather technical details on how to call the RFCs.
    Please be aware that it's not an easy job providing all the data that IPC needs to do pricing.
    I would recommend using the E-Commerce application which has done this job for you already.
    Best regards,
    Karlheinz
