Can I keep old number if I purchase an iphone?

Hello I am new to the iphone world. I presently have a nextel and am looking to make the switch. Can I keep my old number? Also how do I transfer all the info in my chip to an iphone?
Thanks.

You can port your number over from Nextel to ATT.
You will need to transfer your data to Addressbook on your Mac to save your contact list. Calendar info will be sent to iCal and pics should be transferred to iPhoto. When you sync the iPhone, it will get your contact info out of Addressbook.

  • How can I keep old appointments from deleting in my iphone calendar?

    It seems iphone's calendar automatically deletes past appointments.  It won't even let me make an appointment for something that happened in the past.  I need to reference old appointments though so is there some way to make the iphone save old appointments or at least ask me?  It has nothing to do with syncing to my computer as I rarely do that.  This is really annoying.  My old Palm would save everything and it was great since I could go back and see the last time I went to the dentist, etc.  Is there a fix to this?

    Hi Allan
    Thanks for this.  I couldn't believe it when I had a wages query at work and all my carefully recorded shifts had disappeared!
    I don't understand this bit though....
    And what is selected for this under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    Do I need to do anything in itunes?
    Many thanks

  • TS1702 how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

    You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

  • Can't keep old data plan?

    My daughters droid "smart" phone died so we put her number on an older "dumb" phone we had from previous upgrades until she can afford to buy a new smartphone. While talking to customer service I was told that she can't keep her old unlimited data plan when she gets her new phone that she has to switch to 2G plan. I don't understand why this is since had her phone not died she would still have the unlimited plan. Why?

    Good afternoon and thank you for all of your replies.  This is a really good question, and I will gladly clarify the answer, as there seems to be a lot of different responses.
    You are able to change back the unlimited data plan from a non-Smartphone within 14 days of removing it.  Once the 14 days have passed, there is no way to go back to the unlimited data and you will have to choose from our current pricing.  Therefore, if your daughter will be replacing her Smartphone within 14 days, she will be able to have the unlimited data plan.  
    I trust this information is helpful.  
    Thank you, 

  • Moving house can't keep phone number

    So I'll be moving house soon and I'm trying to organise moving my phone, tv and broadband to the new place.
    The trouble I'm having is that when filling in the online form it says that not only will I need a new line installed and can't keep my phone number but I won't get all the channels I get just now (standard Vision package).
    The new place has had a BT line and is only up the road a bit from where I am just now. 
    Is there something I'm doing wrong? From what it says before I start filling in the form I should be able to move everything without charge as long as the new place doesn't need a line installed. Which the new place shouldn't need as it was a BT line before.

    Have you checked the line in the new property works? If not it'll need to be connected which is normally chargeable.

  • Can I keep my ring tones when upgrading to iPhone 6?

    Can I keep the ring tones I have purchased when upgrading to iPhone 6? If so how do I do that?

    I see.  Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not.  You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out. 
    To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone.  Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.  You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from.  To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below).  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
    If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them.  Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
    If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier.  Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

  • I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account.  How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

    I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account.  How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

    Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

    Go into Settings, turn FaceTime off. Power the phone off/on. Go back into Settings, turn on FaceTime and let it activate. The phone number comes from the SIM and the activation message. It should populate the correct number.

  • Lightroom 5 defaulted to my Trial version. Can you please advise on what I did wrong? I can provide the serial number for the purchased subscription.

    History - I had a 30 day trial version of Lightroom back in October. One small catalog of 1500 photos were contained in it. When I was prompted to upgrade, I incorrectly selected the option to "choose a different catalog" which prevented me from seeing my recent photos in Lightroom 5. It appears that my version of Lightroom may be a trial version instead of the version for my subscription purchase. Can you please help me with this? I will be glad to provide the serial number as necessary.

    Without proper system info and other details nobody can tell you anything. for the time being, try another browser...

  • How can I set up itunes to maunally sync, we have had to buy a new pc, which wants to erase and save when we connect the nano, how can I keep old files on Nano?

    Can anyone tell me how I can stop itunes syncing and erasing the data on the nano now we are on a new pc?

    I think you only have two choices when you hook up an iPod to a computer. One is to sync to it, which will replace all of the content if it's a different computer from the one where the iPod content came from in the first place (your situation). The other is to not sync, which I think is for people who may want to use their iPods as storage disks, the way you might use a USB thumb drive these days. In that case, you wouldn't replace your content with what is in the iTunes of the new computer, but you also won't be able to put additional content on.
    There is one new wrinkle with later versions of iTunes. You can transfer iTunes Store purchases from an iPod to a new computer, but it won't do the same for non iTunes Store purchases, like the CDs you burned. Those will have to be transferred to the new computer and synced back to the iPod. Since you have to do that anyway, you might as well just transfer all of your iTunes content from the old computer to the new one, and then take the time to sync all the content back onto the iPod. If you do it at night, you won't be troubled by the delay.
    If you have content on the iPod that you no longer have (maybe your old computer crashed before you could back it up), there are some programs that claim to be able to transfer all content from iPod to computer. I've only seen them mentioned here on the forum, so searching here or on Google might be a start.

  • How can I keep my number if I have to get a micro sim to fit my 4s

    Obtain a micro sim from your cellular provider. They can provision it with your existing account information, allowing you to keep the same number.

  • Can I keep old apps if I upgrade OSX to Mavericks?

    Hello all,
    I have been very satisfied with my MBA mid 2013 build, and all the apps. I really use Pages '09 & Numbers '09 (most of the features), so much that I've switched everything from MS Word and Excel. But, I do NOT want to upgrade to Pages 5.1 or Numbers 3.1. It seems they are dumbed down versions, good for iPhone use, and many users are  very unhappy. I learned that the features I use the most are gone.
    Question: Can I upgrade the OS X to Mavericks, but keep the old Pages & Numbers apps? IOW, not upgrade them, only the OSX?
    Thank you, Cinilla

    Since the new desktop Macs force Mavericks on you, have you considered an Apple-refurbished iMac old enough to have come with Mountain Lion? That'd come with a new warranty to which you could add AppleCare.
    I'd suggested questioning a Mavericks upgrade because I just went through that decision myself, coming from Lion and experimenting with both ML and Mavericks, and there were some quirks in Mavericks that just didn't seem worth dealing with. Went with ML and while that meant dealing with the Disk Utility formatting bug in both ML and Mavericks, at least Lion and ML still have a family resemblance.

  • How can I keep old native calendar events?

    I use the native calendar on my ipod & sync with Outlook.  I have my outlook configured to NOT archive older events.  When more than a calendar month has passed, my events disappear from my native calendar. I want all old calendar entries to be saved forever. I don't know if they are deleted or archived to somewhere or what.  Please help! Thank you!!
