Can I port a number that's out of contract to another phone?

Can I port the number from my iphone 5s when it's out of contract in a few weeks, and place it on a iphone 6 that's already bought on a new line and cancel the line?

Then why couldn't you wait the few weeks until your current account is eligible for the upgrade and not have this hassle? In it was announced yesterday if your contract ends before 2014/11/15, you could have upgraded early for the two year contract price.
Now you have to wait until your contract date and port the number you want to another carrier, start a plan there and turn around and cancel the other carrier plan by porting the preferred number on top of the temporary phone number you got when you purchased the iPhone 6. It is more hassle then it is worth. I should know as I have done something very similar three years ago.

Can I port my number if switching from a post-paid to a pre-paid and back to a post-paid?

This is a little convoluted, so I'll use bullet points.
1) I am currently on a family plan that is paid for by my former employer. I need to leave that plan by the end of this month.
2) I would like to port the number from this plan to a pre-paid plan on Verizon for 2 months.
3) After 2 months, I would like to port the same number back to a post-paid plan.
Is this possible? I understand I'll have to downgrade to a 3G phone for that time.
The only reason I want to do it this way is I want the new iPhone in October and if I sign a 2-year contract tomorrow, I won't be able to buy a new phone, right?
Or is the new phone not tied to when you start your contract, but rather to the last time you purchased a new phone? If that's the case, can I port my number to a new contract, use my old phone and buy the new one in October at the subsidized rate?
Thanks very much in advance!

Well I think you can get the best answers if you walk into a VZW store. But to my knowledge, you will be able to convert your existing number and start a prepaid plan. Then once you have the prepaid plan, I believe it must be on the Prepaid account six months before you can convert it back to a contract account.
And as for the new phone, as long as you start your new contract with your existing phone, you should be able to get the new iPhone in october at the the discounted rate, the same rate you would get if starting a new contract.

How can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit

how can I block a number that calls me persistently every single day but only shows 3458 it does not show the full 10 digit so on your block page will not let me block it!!! So frustrated and I am not answering it with all the hackers out these days I don't want to give them access to my phone.

@lottsandy
I can understand your frustrations and concerns with receiving these unknown calls! I would love to assist you with preventing these types of calls.
Sounds as though you're receiving some type of telemarketing call. Although you're unable to add the shorter numbers to your call block list, you can definitely add your number to the National Do Not Call registry http://1.usa.gov/1whONxp. I hope this will help prevent those unwanted calls. Thanks!

How can I edit this number that I have not in my ordinary contact list, before redial?

Whats up, fellows?
I want to redial for a last number that called me, however I need to increase numbers (as country code, carrier code or something like that) on this number, how can I edit this number that I have not in my ordinary contact list, before redial?
Tks,

That is discouraging. However I do notice that if I view my podcasts in My Podcasts mode they are grouped and sorted better than in Unplayed mode and the ones in the cloud are not shown. However although I prefer the one window view of List mode to the two windows My Podcast mode, My Podcast mode does at least indicate how many unplayed episodes I have from each podcast. This would almost be acceptable except that partially listened to podcasts, while still there, can only be identified by highlighting the podcast title on the lefthand sidebar, (although the number of completely unplayed episodes are listed on the left hand sidebar). As someone who often listens to a podcast over two or more days I fear I could forget which ones I have only partially listened to and would have to go down the entire left hand sidebar list highlighting each podcast to remind myself. I really find the List mode the most informative and easiest way to view my podcasts and really wish Apple had not messed with it

We have a 5s active on our account. After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number) The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up. Texting over the cell networks works fine.

hens0861,
Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.

Verizon Fios rep says that I can not port my number.

I had Verizon number for about 14 years and I recently moved to a new house and got Fios. When they signed up for Fios triple play on phone, the sales rep said that my number will be transferred to my new location. Meanwhile, I was given temporary number. Installation was done and I was told that the old number be active by 5pm that day. Did not happen. Called verizon back and they said it would take another 24 hrs. No success and I called back. Same response again and was told to wait 2 days now. Called again and finally spoke to someone who said that she will straighened everything out and will call in 48 hrs. Got no response on 3rd day so I called back. By now, I must've called about 4-5 times regarding this issue. Finally, they told me that after sending trouble ticket, back end department told them that the number can NOT be transferred. They said it is copper based line and can not be put on Fios network, which is digital network. I told her that Vonage said they can port it and she said they can NOT port it either, because it is a copper line number. I had spoken to Vonage before getting Fios and was told that they can port it without any problem. Just to confirm again, I called Vonage and I was told that the number is portable. I want that same number but Fios won't give it to me. Feels like they told me they could port number originally just to get my business. Did anyone else have same problem? Any way to resolve it?

Can I buy out my contract to transfer phone number to company account?

Hello,
Currently I have a droid phone under contract with Verizon, and I am eligible for an upgrade in June, 2015, but can buy out of the contract for $180. I also am going to get a company phone for my job, but it is required that this be the iphone 6 and it can be either with Verizon or AT&T service. Ideally I would like to just transfer my number to my company account and use the iphone full time, but unfortunately it's not that simple.
Here are the options I've been informed I have:
1) Have the company take over my account for no cost, but the company would have to pay $649 for a new iphone since I'm not eligible for an upgrade, and I'm not sure I can get this added cost approved.
2) Get a separate company phone number and iphone that the company will buy for me (I think it will cost them $200). Not ideal because I would either lose my phone number or I would have to keep paying for my phone and carry 2 phones around.
Here's the option I want, but nobody can confirm it is possible:
3) I buy out my old contract for $180, then transfer the phone number to my company phone where I would get a new contract and a new iphone. I'd be fine paying the $180 out of my pocket since I'd make that up in savings in 3 months. I was on hold with customer service while 2 service people were debating whether or not this was possible, but after 15 minutes of dead air I had to leave to attend a work meeting, so I don't know if it's possible.
Here's the option I don't want to but may be forced to do:
4) Start a new contract with AT&T through my company and have my number ported over. I would then pay the $180 to Verizon to get me out of my obligation.
In case anyone has actually taken the time to read all this, here are my questions:
- Is Option #3 actually possible? Has anyone done it?
- Is Option #4 possible? If it is possible, wouldn't Verizon just prefer I do option #3.
- Are there any other options I'm not considering?
Thanks for any input you can give

Hello Kinquana,
Yes, I'm available for Early Edge upgrade, but from what I can tell it doesn't really offer my company any savings versus them just buying the iphone up front at full price, and it probably just creates complications for the IT department. Either way, it's an additional cost that I would have to get approved.
So it sounds like my best option is to just move my number to AT&T and cancel my verizon account? Seems like you would not want that to happen.
I do not have any issues with my current phone, but my company requires that I get an iphone due to compatibility with email and security.
Thanks for the quick response

Can you block your number for texting, so dont show in ppls phone record?

usually in the phone record show the number who is text you and the phone you sent a message. But since a week a go don't show the number of the person, and I received tons of messages everyday, but on my phone record of text messages don't reflect the phone number. Is a way you can block your number??? so dont registrer in the phone record?

I understand the importance of viewing numbers in your message details hmaldonado. There is an option for individuals to block their number if it is restricted. What do you see on your phone for these messages you are referring to? Is this a number that is stored in your phonebook? Have you checked My Verizon online? Can you see calls from this person? What specific task are you trying to accomplish with this number? Here's how to access My Verizon. Select My Usage, then Usage details. http://bit.ly/xB4iTc

Can you notify a user that the file is opened by another user?

Apologies if this is a repeat or redundant question....
Is there a built-in (non-3rd party) way to have a user notified/alerted that the pdf is open by another user when they open the file. I know the lock message pops up when you go to save a file thats opened elsewhere....but the problem is that the users un-aware of this until after they've done a bunch of work.
I perfer not to get into having to password protect the files, etc....just an initial alert is desirable. Any inputs are greatly appreciated.

There isn't such a mechanism in Acrobat/Reader.

Can't send to emails that are out of the domain.

I know this has been discussed in depth already. I have tried all the code examples that I have been able to find in this forum that say you should be able to send messages to email addresses that are outside the domain (Company) even if exchange server doesn't have message relaying turned on.
None of the examples I have tried have worked. Is this just not possible? If it is, please send code examples.
Below you will find my code.
Properties properties = new Properties() ;
properties.put("mail.smtp.host", hostName) ;
properties.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
// this authenticator authenticates using my username and password
javax.mail.Authenticator auth = new PopupAuthenticator() ;
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, auth) ;
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session) ;
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromemail, fromname)) ;
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to, toName)) ;
message.setSubject(subject) ;
message.setText(messageText) ;
message.setSentDate(new Date());
Transport.send(message);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) { insertLog(e.toString()) ; }

I have the same problem if you have a solution please send me to [email protected], thanks.

IMEI number is greyed out and unable to activate phone.Apple India is not supporting any suggestions?

I bought iPhone 5 in Singapore in May '13 and then moved to India . The phone worked well in India till end Sep'13. But in Oct '13, while auto installing 7.0.3, the phone started hanging and the signal went for "search " forever. I tried to reset the phone to factory settings and everything went blank. It is stated that the IMEI number has been greyed out in the phone and only Apple Singapore can fix it.
Apple India refused to touch the phone as it was bought in Singapore. Tried with online support without any success till now. I am unable to send the phone to Singapore for repair - as it cannot be send by courier by individuals and Apple Singapore service does not accept over courier.
Tried online support and but it did not work
Please suggest option to repair and make the phone usable in India.
Regret for having bought iPhone at Singapore.

Thank you for the quick response. I understand warranty coverage is only for Singapore ( place of purchase).
Help required: Can the online support from Apple really help in restoring the phone?
1.What is the purpose of iPhone Restore option in iCloud / iTune ? if it user cannot do in such instances
2.Why should the IMEI number get "greyed" after a use of 6 months?
3.Why should a Apple working product fail when updating a new version of the software?
Surely points 1 to3 above are shortcomings of Apple software and its product. Such HIGH priced premium product needs much more reliability. Apple should consider global warranty specifically for people who travel -else the problem will erode its market share. Apple competition too have the same issue.
Having stated the above, I sincerely regret going in for a Apple product and that too buying in Singapore. I have learnth a hard and extremely costly lesson

How can I email a doc thats saved in the cloud from my phone?

I dont't have access to my macbook (running mountain lion/latest iwork) and need to email a pages doc that's saved in iCloud. I have my iPhone (running ios5) so wondered how can I attach said document to an email and send it from the phone?
Do I need iwork on my phone as well? I hope not becasue I've already bought iwork for the laptop and feel it's a bit rough to have to pay for a mobile version as well.
I've looked for an attach button on creating a new email on my phone hoping there'd be a link to iCloud documents but cannot see one.
Any help would be appreciated

I don't know of a way to do that without Pages on your iPhone, but it is trivial to do from within Pages. Due to the iCloud sandboxing model, such things are done by pushing data out from the source app, not pulling from the destination app (Mail in this case).
You might also find it handy to be able to make minor changes to your Pages documents on the iPhone. It's better on an iPad, of course, with more screen, but it's not too difficult on an iPhone.
