Can I Activate New Phone Without Changing Plan? Smart phone to Smart Phone

I have a Droid Incredible and while I am waiting for some new Windows Phones to come out next year, I thought I would try a Trophy for a while. Im eligible for a discount May of next year.
I was going to get an HTC Trophy off of Ebay and use it instead of my Incredible while I wait for better Windows phones. Is this as simple as calling and activating the Trophy when I receive it and no longer using my Incredible? Ive had the unlimited data plan since I first got the Incredible a year and a half ago. So I would expect nothing should change with my plan and this should be straight forward.
Am I correct in this or is Verizon going to give me problems and make me change my contract?

I would like to upgrade my son's phone, but I don't want to pay for a smart phone and a data package. All of the "basic" phones that Verizon offers now have terrible ratings (and not to mention that there aren't very many phone choices.) I have an older blackberry, and I was thinking about letting him have that for a while and transfer the number over. Will I have to get a data plan if I give him my old blackberry?

Can I update my phone without changing the interface/design?

I haven't updated my iPhone 4S in ages - I think I may still be using IOS 4 or IOS 5. I love the old interface, and I really, really don't want to have to change to the new interface (I've seen it and it looks completely different). I'm very fond of how safari works, how pass code locking works, how photo albums are designed, the proccess of clearing apps - everything. The problem is that there are a few apps I'd like to download that require IOS 6 or above. My question now is either,
1) is it possible to update your phone without changing the design/interface
2) is it possible to download IOS 6 or 7 apps on an earlier version phone without updating the entire phone
Thanks so much

1. No.
2. No.

Sorry, you can't. If your phone is carrier locked, you will need a sim card from that carrier, to activate it.

If using a phone locked to a carrier, you must have the original SIM or one from that carrier to activate your iPhone.

I am trying to update my iTunes so I can sync my new iphone 5s and it doesn't recognize the phone, apple support said I need to update my iTunes when I try and do that I get an error message that says " the ITunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try back later.
My internet works fine and I have tried back dozens of times with same result.

Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....
Thanks!

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

There is no other way. Without the correct credentials you won't be able to use it.
Activation Lock cannot be bypassed, Apple will not help unless you have the original receipt (but not from some 3rd party)

Bluegrassbarry you can download and install Illustrator CS6 from Download CS6 products. Do you currently have a Creative Cloud Membership?

HT5622 I have two iPhones using the same Apple ID. I want to change the ID on one of the phones without changing the other. Can it be done without affecting the other devices that use the ID.

How can I change the Apple ID on one phone but the other. Right now they both use the same ID.

Sure.
For the iTunes/App store...Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown, sign out...now, sign back in with the ID you want to use. Be aware, any apps obtained with the old ID can only be updated using that ID, as all apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them.
Fir iCloud: Settings>iCloud...turn everything off, including Find My Phone. For Contacts/Calendars, you'll be prompted to keep the data on the phone or delete it...your choice. Then, scroll down, Delete Account. Now, set everything back up using the new ID.
This won't affect any data stored at iCloud.com, or any other devices.

Can't activate new first-gen iPhone

Believe it or not, even the guys at AT&T are stumped on this one.
I have a brand new first-generation original iPhone ... never been used.
I want to use it as an iTouch (without phone service).
It needs to be activated in the first place to be deactivated so that it has the iTouch features.
AT&T says that original iPhone networks are no longer supported, so activating it on iTunes is impossible. On another post, someone said that using someone else's SIM car that has already been activated is a bad idea because the phone gets "married" to the SIM, although I don't know what that means. No one at the AT&T store will let me borrow their SIM and I don't know anyone who has one.
Both AT&T tech support and the guys at the local AT&T store have said there is nothing they know how to do.
I refuse to believe I have a brand new iPhone that I should throw into the trash.
Anyone know how to activate this thing so I can use it as an iTouch?
-JOHN

Using a SIM from another phone will not marry the Sim to the Phone. It would be a good idea, though, if at all possible, to use a SIM from an existing iPhone, iPhone 3G or 3Gs. The activation process should be able to go through just fine, but if the existing SIM is from something other than an iPhone, th owner may find their plan modified in ways they don't want... data plan, etc. I don't KNOW that this would happen as I haven't gone through the self activation process since 2007, but I suspect it might... I also suspect that, though it should be possible for AT&T to activate an original iPhone, the self activation servers that served the original may no longer be alive... I don't KNOW that for a fact either, but everything since the original (I think it started with the 3G...) has been activated in store either at Apple or AT&T. Personally, I liked the self activation, but someone decided it created too many headaches.
Why don't you take it into an Apple store and see if the genius can help you out?

Apple Support Says You Can't Activate an iPad without iTunes?

So got a new iPad, activated it over wifi, and have been having problems ever since setting up my log in accounts for various services.
So I called Apple support to learn how to unify my various Apple IDs so that I can just use one going forward. They offered to help, but when their recommendations failed to solve my problem, they suggested I plug the iPad into iTunes, which I cannot do. They told me that it was impossible to activate an iPad without plugging it into iTunes, and insisted I must have done this. When I assured the Apple support member that I did not, they simply told me to take it to a Genius bar, that they couldn't help me any more. Well, the nearest genius bar is 2 hours away.
So my first question is, just who is Apple hiring for technical support these days, and are they not training them any more?
My second question is, is there anyway to leap-frog past this front line poorly trained employees and get to someone who can actually help instead of going to an Apple store?
The problem is this - my iTunes account ID is tied to an old e-mail I no longer have. So I called to change my Apple ID for all services. It now works for iTunes, and iCoud, but not Newstand, or Messenger. Apple says they don't know how to solve the problem without connecting to iTunes, yet this doesn't seem like a local iPad problem, rather an account server problem.
So not really sure where to turn after getting such ridiculously out of touch information from Apple support.

Prior to iOS 5 that was the case, one must have iTunes to activate an iPad or iPhone. iOS5 changed all of that. Either the tech was not aware of the change or was reading from an old script. Either way it is a training problem.

I'm assuming you used an old email address for your Apple ID. If that is the case, and you still have the password for your Apple ID, you can log into Apple's Apple ID support and change the email associated with the ID. Note, you will still always have to use the old email as your login name, but all email will go to the new address. You can also create an entirely new Apple ID using your new email and use that if you wish.
