  • Can I activate a prepaid phone onto my existing contract?

    I Bought a prepaid Verizon exceed2 phone off of craigslist and I can't seem to activate it on my existing Verizon phone number. Is it possible or did I get screwed?

        We can assist in looking into this matter, Orury1988! How are you trying to activate it? Are you doing it online? Are you getting an error message when you try to activate, and if so, what is it? Please share these details, and we can work together to see if you'll be able to use this device.
    Thanks,

  • Can the Iphone output the phone conversation to the docked speakers like it does the rinnger when it is docked?

    Can the Iphone output the conversation audio to the docking station like it does with the ringger audio?

    Return the darn thing!
    Why do you & we accept a phone that does not work 100%
    We should be discounted the non working percentage, or simply get a new working one.
    Would you accept a saucage with a rotten end, and hope they would treat it with enough chenichals to make it taste and look good?
    The problem seems to me a hardware problem, and may be poor assembly. Noticed that incoming calls on my first 4s when vibrator was on, made an extra vibrating noise - i.e. loose speaker, printboard or what do I know.
    This does not occur on the phone I purchased yesterday, waiting for the other at the repairshop.
    Does Telenor and Apple think I will accept the repaired brand new phone?
    NOT!

  • Lost iPhone 4, the phone is switch off, is it possible to get all data back in somehow?

    I have someone stolen my iPhone 4 last night, I tried to use (find my iPhone) app to track where is it, but the thief just switch off the handset, can anyone help with this case? I have passcode for that phone, I don't think he can access the phone at the moment! I do worries he trying to sell it later. I just want to ask is there any way to get all the data back from that phone? I know I can remote control the phone to erase the data thr the app, but some data which is very important to me but I didn't backup recently! Can anyone help, please and thank you very much! 

    I don't think that iphone4 has find my phone app installed!
    The Find My iPhone app is for locating other iOS devices.  The feature doesn't use the app but has to be activated in settings. You were given that option when setting up and activating the phone and had to decline it if t wasn't activated at that time.
    both phone use the same apple ID, will it works on the iphone4 or it will show offline only in my iphone5 app?
    No, tracking doesn't use the Apple ID.

  • Why doesn't my verizon prepaid phone work in San Juan, Puerto Rico?

    I called before my trip and was assured my phone would work no problem. Now when I get here I can only text and receive texts. My phone(Droid Maxx) says roaming 3G and i can't call or use data. Have walked all over San Juan today and no luck. Although my dad was able to call me surprisingly around 3. Other than that though it's been horrible. Please someone help me. My fiance and I would like to use our data to post pics in real time and or use our phones in case of an emergency. She has a prepaid iphone 5 so getting either of these phones to work would be a blessing. Thanks!

    We want you to be able to make calls in Puerto Rico tony_montana359! Contact our prepaid department (888-294-6804) so they can further assist.

  • HT201269 How will my phone number switch over?

    Hello, I am going to receive a new iPhone 4 to replace my old iPhone because my lock button of my old device isn't working. I was wondering as to how my phone number will be transferred to my new device? And do I have to reset my old phone before sending it back to the manufacturers? Thank you.

    Kaity,
    Before you do anything with your old phone, and when you rceive your new one, call Apple Support as you will have phone support with your new device. 800-692-7753 they should walk you thru poeting your old# to the new phone. I was not able to find anything that directly addresses this specifically in the database (does not mean it is not there, I couldn't find it)
    I hope this helps some.

  • HT201269 how do i get a back up from a earlier time. i know i backed up my old phone before switching over and it wont give me the choice of the earlier time.that i need to reteive my contacts

    hi yesterday i received a 5s for a christmas gift. i got home and decided to transfer data. i backed up my 4s and did the updates. i then hooked up my 5s performed the updates and transfer. when i found all the info i needed was transfered i started deleting the info from my 4s. i lost the contacts in the process. i forgot about the icloud and it deleted the contacts from my 5s. now when i go back to retrieve my back up i can only get the info from a later time. honw do i get the original back up from an earlier time on my account

    You can't avoid that if you use backspace or go back otherwise (toolbar Back button or via the right-click context menu). You will have to use the link or button on that page to go to the inbox.

  • Best prepaid phone for concert lighting ?

    I'm finally getting rid of my dumb phone for a smart one...but i need to know which prepaid phone is the best for indoor concert colored lighting and movement?  Son has a verizon, I'm looking still, but that's really the most important feature for me.  Use the Ebay app, would love a few decent games, and I always get unlimited talk/text.  Thanks!

    Hello!  Welcome to the Forums!
    Nokia is mostly correct in stating that Verizon will not normally allow their own No Contract or Prepaid phones to be activated onto a contract plan, but there is an exception to this.
    Per Verizon, if the prepaid phone that is going to be activated to the contract account has been used as a prepaid phone on a prepaid plan for at least 6 months prior to being used on the contract plan, then it can be done. Before that point, Verizon's systems will not allow the prepaid ESN number to be activated on the contract plan.
    Hope this helps clarify some information.

  • Prepaid phone for contract use

    I've seen this mentioned elsewhere, and was wondering if anyone else can confirm this. 
    I've had a smart phone for Verizon for a few months and have enjoyed it, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the $29.99 unlimited data plan isn't really necessary for my long-term budget needs. I've heard of users going to Best Buy to purchase a prepaid phone (like that Samsung flip one BB offers) and registering that phone at BB/Verizon for their contract line. 
    Can anyone confirm/deny the legitimacy of such an act? Seems alright to me. I just don't want to go ahead with the process myself if I'm going to waste $40 on a second phone if I can't do it myself.

  • How can I get my phone to switch back to a Canadian network after being in the USA?

    I've spent the past week in the states and my phone automatically switches over to AT&T, and usually won't switch back to BELL until i'm well over the Canadian border. This time, though, my phone keeps saying it doesn't have service and won't connect to the BELL network when I try to under settings. It will connect to AT&T, but the signal is weak, and is costing me long distance charges. I've tried turning my phone off and on, plugging it into my computer and syncing it, and neither have worked. Any advice?

    Call Bell tech support and tell them to reverse the charges too...

  • Moto G Prepaid Phone Question

    I am very interested in getting the Moto G by Motorola as my next phone.  I have always had contract phones so switching to a no contract phone is new to me.  On the Moto G page it says "This phone may only be used with Verizon Wireless Prepaid service for the first 6 months after activation."  I'm a bit confused on what this means.  Does it mean that this phone can only be used as a prepaid phone for 6 months, then you are forced to get into a contract?  'Cause that is really what it sounds like and that doesn't make sense to me.  Or does it mean that after 6 months, you have the option of having it as a prepaid phone or a contract phone?  If anyone could give me some insight on this, it would be very much appreciated.

    After six months on a prepaid plan, the phone is eligible to be activated on a postpaid account. It can be used on the prepaid plans for as long as you want.

  • Can I sync a basic phone with my MacBook?

    I have a basic phone I would like to sync with my MacBook Pro address book. Is this possible?

    Ok, thanks for that.  Looking to sync a Verizon prepaid phone or a GoPhone. Just need contacts off it.
    Wondering, then, could I just sync from Mac Address book to MobileMe easily? When I've done it before with my iPhone, it got screwy, duplicating contacts in the phone. 
    (this is for my ex, who dropped her iPhone in the water, it was fried, and I don't want to get her a new iPhone until the 5 comes out and other models drop in price).

  • Transferring ownership of prepaid phone

    I just recently added my husband to my family plan with a new number and new phone.  His old prepaid phone still has useable minutes so I plan to give this phone to a person who needs it but can't afford it.  The number on the prepaid phone is listed as my husband's on his My Verizon page.  My question is:  If this person sets up a My Verizon page in her name with the old number which was assigned to the prepaid phone will there be a problem?  If so, what do I have to do to fix this? 
    Also...how do I delete all contacts on the prepaid phone?  When I try to do this it asks for a phone lock code.  We don't have any idea what that is or where to find it.
    Any help appreciated.  The phone is Samsung Smooth.

     I just recently added my husband to my family plan with a new number and new phone.  His old prepaid phone still has useable minutes so I plan to give this phone to a person who needs it but can't afford it. If you change the number you will lose the money that is on the phone.  The number on the prepaid phone is listed as my husband's on his My Verizon page.  My question is:  If this person sets up a My Verizon page in her name with the old number which was assigned to the prepaid phone will there be a problem?  If so, what do I have to do to fix this?  I think all she would have to do is add her name and delete his name.
    Also...how do I delete all contacts on the prepaid phone? You can manually delete the contacts one by one. The only thing I can think of for a lock code would be the 4 digit  security code. If  the number there asking for is longer than 4 digits then it might be the # on the battery.  When I try to do this it asks for a phone lock code.  We don't have any idea what that is or where to find it.
    Any help appreciated.  The phone is Samsung Smooth.
