Buying iPhone 5 from third party retailer w/ unlimited data

I ordered an iPhone 5 in-store on the 21st since I couldn't find a way to pre-order and keep my unlimited data, even though I was paying full retail. My ship date isn't until October 19th, and that's a long time to wait. But I did find a local Radioshack that has them in stock, but I have heard that third party retailers cannot keep your unlimited plan on your account even if you are paying full retail, and once the unlimited is removed it's gone forever.
So should I wait until October 19th to get my shipment from Verizon or is there a way to pick it up at Radioshack and still keep my unlimited data?

Will Radio Shack let you take the phone home without activating it?  If so, then you could call Verizon once at home and activate the phone yourself, making sure all your features remain intact.
As to 3P retailers, I would avoid them, especially given the sensitivity of your account with unlimited data.

  • Buying iPhone 4 from Canada Apple Retail Store

    Hi
    I am from India and I am visiting Canada in Jan. I plan to buy the unlocked iPhone 4 from the Apple Retail Store in Vancouver. Though I am aware that the unlocked Phone is available at the Apple ONLINE store, I'm not sure if the unlocked version is available in the retail store. Would they ask me for any address proof?

    Are you aware that Apple will only provide support for a Canadian-sold iPhone in Canada? If you have a problem with your iPhone that would require warranty service, you'd have to ship the iPhone back to someone in Canada to take or send it to Apple and then have that person ship it back to you.
    Far better to just buy your iPhone from an authorized seller in India, even if it will be higher in price. That way you will be able to get local support and service. If you want an iPhone 4, I'd strongly suggest that you wait for it to be officially released in India.
    Regards.

  • Problems after unlocking from third party? iPhone 6

    iPhone 6 locked to softbank japan.
    what will be the problems i will face after permanent unlocking from third party?

    No carriers in Japan offer unlocking.
    Only the carrier a phone is locked to can unlock it.
    Allowing a third-party to access your phone in any way will mean it's hacked to unlock it, which voids your warranty and support from Apple, including these forums. A third-party cannot permanently unlock the phone.
    You'd be much better off selling the phone to someone who will use it with Softbank and buying an unlocked phone from Apple, if available.

  • Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store ?

    Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store in nyc or is it exclusively avaliable online ?

    You can buy it at an Apple store. But you do not want "SIM Free", which means that you can use it with any carrier, but the phone becomes locked permanently to the first carrier you use it with. You want to be clear that you want an "UNLOCKED" phone. Apple does not sell SIM Free phones, but some independent dealers (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK) do.
    Also, note that if you plan to use it outside of the US you will not have warranty or repair service available for it; Apple will only fix phones (in or out of warranty) in the country of purchase. And it may not work on LTE (4G) networks outside of North America.

  • How i can buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany

    Hi
    I'm from Egypt and i want to buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany not from Egypt, Is there anyway to buy from USA or Germany with the same price of USA or Germany not Egypt ?
    And is there away you can send it to me to Egypt ?
    Thanks in advance...:)

    This is a user to user help forum only.
    The lower/advertised price for the iPhone in the U.S. is AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the iPhone, which requires signing a two year contract with AT&T for the subsidy or discount that AT&T pays Apple on a subscriber's behalf.
    The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only. None of the iPhone functions work until the iPhone is activated with AT&T with the exception of being able to make an emergency 911 call in the U.S. Apple nor AT&T in the U.S. will ship an iPhone to anyone outside of the U.S. AT&T also sells the iPhone in the U.S. at a no-contract/no-commitment or at the full retail sales price which is much more expensive, but the iPhone remains carrier locked with AT&T. A verifiable billing address in the U.S. is required along with a credit check by AT&T which is no different that what is required with a two year contract. The no-contract or no-commitment for the iPhone in the U.S. is billed the same as a subscriber with a two year contact but since there is no contract it is on a month to month basis which can be cancelled at any time without a penalty.
    The iPhone is sold in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile I believe. Not sure of the iPhone is also sold as officially unlocked in Germany. If so, Apple's support and warranty for the iPhone is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only. If you are able to purchase the iPhone in Germany as officially unlocked for use with a carrier in Egypt, if a problem develops with the iPhone that requires an exchange under warranty, you would have to return to Germany for an exchange under warranty.
    The sales price for the iPhone in each country is determined by the official carrier for the iPhone in each country.

  • Purchasing an unlock Iphone 4s from an aplle retail store

    Hello to everyone.  I am planning to purchasing an unlock iphone 4s from an apple retail store. I want to ask if they will open up the package box and the store will activate the phone for me or I'le just pick up the unit still sealed in the box and be the one to activate the phone by myself? I ask this question because as for my knowledge is concerned the process for purchasing an iphone 4s with a contract from a carrier like at&t is different like they are ones who will opened up the package in the store and they activate the phone for you before you pick it up. I dont know if this process is also done for the unlocked iphone 4s that will be purchased at an apple retail store.  Or maybe I can ask the apple retail store, that I will pick up the phone in sealed box and will be the one who will activate it. I just want my purchase to be still in sealed box from the store. Thanks for any help.

    They will normally activate it in store as their systems will register the phone.
    When buying Sim Free unlocked here in the UK, it stays sealed til you get home, or they will help you activate in store.  I guess asking in your local store first will be the best course of action.

  • Can not receive emails from third party email accounts

    Recently I started working for a small business which has small business server 2011 and exchange 2010 installed. Before I started there were eight user accounts and they all have unlimited email access. I created a few users through sbs AD and also from
    exchange console a week ago. Unfortunately none of them can not receive emails from third party accounts. they all can receive internal emails and also can send mails to any email accounts internally and externally. 
    This is a night mare for me as new users are having trouble with communicating via mails. I have tried all the methods and now thought of posting this issue on tech net. Please help me on this!!
    Thanks a lot!! 
    Sammy 

    Checklist for testing inbound email problems, I am assuming outbound emails works ok.
    1. Check Port 25 forwarding on all modems routers/firewalls
    2. MX Record is created and pointing to the correct Public IP Address, use MXToolbox.com to verify MX Record and test SMTP flow. Also Verify your public IP has not changed, use whatsmyip.org to check you public IP
    3. If using POP Connector Service, make sure POP accounts are created properly
    4. If using a 3rd party spam host, make sure they forward email to correct public IP address, use step 2 to verify your public IP.

  • Sender RFC from Third Party System

    I have a vendor who is actually communicating through RFC from third party Application to SAP R/3. Now we are trying have XI in between. Where as with minimal impact on both sides.
    Solution.
    1. Have the RFC made as ZRFC in XI. Let the vendor call the RFC in XI ABAP and internally make an RFC call through XI Interface to R/3 as Sync Interface. Because we need to report the information back to the system where the request initiated.
    2. Have RFC INI file copied as SAP Suggests under one of the folders. Develop the regular RFC to RFC Interface via XI.
    Is there any other alternatives other than the above mentioned solutions? Or out of those 2, which one will provide the best performance
    Appreciate any feedback. Please advice

    That's exactly what we are trying to achieve here. By Eliminating direct connection R/3, we are placing XI in between. But with the budget/timeline constraints from the Partner side, we are trying to have minimal change on the partner side. They might not change something to web service etc...
    Here is the text about INI file
    You can configure the non-SAP RFC client to connect to the sender communication channel in the following ways:
    ■       By defining the parameters PROGID, gateway-host, and gateway-service within the saprfc.ini-file using RFC-SDK.
    ■       By using appropriate parameters in the function RfcOpenEx.
    If you use the saprfc.ini-file, the respective RFC destination has to be of type R.
    All the parameter values used within the saprfc.ini-file or with the function RfcOpenEx should match the entries maintained within the corresponding sender communication channel.
    Example for the saprfc.ini-file is as follows:
    DEST=RFCCLIENTEXT
    TYPE=R
    PROGID=P106646.HKExternalClient
    GWHOST=pwdf2153
    GWSERV=sapgw40
    Please check the following link, for the same  text on RFC Sender

    Using the same Sender RFC for non-SAP System, please share any ideas

  • Will i get warrenty in india if i buy iphone 4s from usa

    will i get warrenty in india if i buy iphone 4s from usa

    No, the warranty is not International.
    Warranty for iPhone has always been only available in the country where it was originally sold by Apple or their authorized re-seller.
    The only exception is in the EU.
