Can I use a friends upgrade for myself?

I have an iPhone 4S and I want the iPhone 5. I cannot get a new phone for a year now and I want to know if I found a good "loop hole" or not in Verizon's upgrade program.
My plan is this:
Sell my iPhone 4S 32 GB for about $300 on eBay.
On my friends Verizon Wireless account, he will use his own upgrade on Apple.com and pay for the iPhone 5 with the money I give him.
The iPhone will get delivered at his house (in about a month ) and he will just give it to me still unopened in the box.
I will open it, power it on, and call *228 and press "2" on the keyboard and activate it with MY Verizon account even though it's on his line. Now it will use my data, my number, my bill, etc...
Will this work the way I want it to? If so, will it change my bill due to LTE?
One more thing: when it first gets powered on straight out of the box, will it already be linked to HIS number or will it not be linked to any number at all (meaning it can't be used for calls, text, 3G/LTE)?
Thank you for your help!!

You would need to get a new SIM card and don't do *228 it will hurt the phone. You would have to brin he phone to the store to get a new SIM card.
If you do the software update you will get a lot of what the iPhone 5 has and maybe you could keep your phone untill 20 months is up. If you get a phone from another account you might not be able to put insurance on it.

Can i use my husbands upgrade for the iphone 6 promotion

My line is technically not eligible for upgrade, but my husbands line is (we are on a family plan with my mom). Last time I upgraded, they let me use my husbands upgrade since his was available. Can I do this for the iphone 6 promotion or will they not allow it?

Can I transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another?
If you have multiple devices on your account and one is eligible for an upgrade, you can transfer upgrade eligibility to another line on your account whenupgrading your device in My Verizon. When you transfer eligibility from one line to another, the original line is no longer eligible for the upgrade discount.
To transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another line on your account:Go to the Upgrade Device page in My Verizon.
Click Transfer Upgrade.
Note: If the Transfer Upgrade link isn’t appearing, you may not be eligible to transfer an upgrade at this time
Select the mobile number you want to upgrade. This will transfer upgrade eligibility to that line.
Select the device you want to upgrade to and click Next.
Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the remaining steps to upgrade your device.
You’ve successfully transferred your upgrade eligibility to another line.

How can I use an iPad upgrade for an iPhone?

My iPad (Verizon) and iPhone were stolen from my car. My iPad has an upgrade available. I understand that normally the iPad can only be upgraded to another tablet. But someone told me I may be able to switch the upgrade to a phone.
I have an old Verizon phone I'm not using. I think the process was perhaps to activate this old phone on the iPad's phone number then upgrade to an iPhone. Or perhaps it was to activate the old phone on a new line and then switch the iPad's upgrade to it. I am not sure.
Can anyone see a way to use my iPad upgrade toward a new iPhone?

Hi damormino,
Oh my! That definitely sounds upsetting. I fully understand how aggravating it can be to have your devices stolen. The good news is, we do have options. Do you recall if insurance was selected on either lines? When it comes to upgrading a tablet line unfortunately our system does document the type of upgrade and type of device that was previously used even if you were to activate a basi device. My sincere apologies that you would be unable to utilize this upgrade to obtain a smartphone or basic device. Have you considered utilizing http://vz.to/ZILXBT? Please keep us posted, thanks!

What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
Thanks!

Using a family upgrade for AT&T.

So, I'm wanting to get an iPhone and the 4 is $50 cheaper at Best Buy, so I'd love to get it there. However, I'm using my sister's upgrade. I know you can use it at the AT&T store, but can I also use her upgrade for myself at Best Buy?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you are going through the upgrade process the screens list what lines you have and what ones are available for upgrades. All you do is tell them what lines upgrade you will be using and they will just use that lines eligibility to upgrade your phone.
All secondary retail stores such as Best Buy are connected to the carriers systems. Best Buy sees exactly what the carrier sees on their systems. Interfaces may be different but the information is the same. So any changes to the account made at Best Buy is making a direct change on the carriers computers in this case ATT.

I need to totally format my macbook pro 13" mid 2009, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds?

my macbook pro 13 is originally shipped with mac os x 10.5.7, now with 10.6.8, but i dont have the dvds with me, i also dont want any of the information on it, can i use my friend's macbook pro 13's dvds? what can i do?
My macbook pro 13" dvds have these on them
    DVD 1: 13 inch macbook pro mac os x install dvd version 10.5.7 2Z691-6468-A Disc version 1.1
    DVD 2: 13 inch macbook pro applications install dvd disc AHT version 3A174 disc version 1.0   2Z691-6458-A
My friend's macbook pro 13
    DVD 1: 13 INCH MACBOOK PRO MAC OS X INSTALL DVD Mac os x version 10.6.7 Disk version 1.2
    DVD 2: 12 in macbook pro applications install dvd AHT version 3A21 Disc version 1.1
Would my friend's dvds work to format my macbook pro to factory settings as if out of the box?
i also had windows running on my mac, i used disc utility to erase the partition for windows, not bootcamp, so the partition is empty, i cant get the main hard drive extended as it was before because it gives me a message saying "could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed", and when i try to verify it through disc utility it says that i need to my os x dvd and repair it, if i just format it, will that all go away?
thank you

Simple answer is no.
Slightly more complicated answer;
You may be able to boot from the disc and use Disk Utility to partition and wipe the HDD (though it may not boot at all).
You can't install an OS from the other computer's discs. It simply will not allow the installation.
You would also be violating the software licence agreement.
As your originals are 10.5.x, you can buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (10.6.3) and format and install from that.

CRVS2010 Beta - Can't use the the Runtime for VS 2010 Beta

Hi,
I changed my web.config as described in the PDF but I'm always getting this error message:
Assembly 'my Assembly' uses 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=14.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304'
What's wrong?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Guys,
Are you using the VS 2010 CR for VS2010 plug in and if so is this a Beta issue?
Or are you using a previous versions of CR runtime in VS 210 issue?
If it is a VS 2010 and CR plug issue then the subject line needs to be changed to follow the rule for posting beta questions to:
CRVS2010 Beta - Can't use the the Runtime for VS 2010 Beta
If it's a migration of existing CR 2008 or previous version of CR application into VS 2010 then it's not supported. CR 2008 and previous versions of CR have not been tested with 4.0 framework and therefore it will not work and no escalation path to make it work at this time, don't upgrade your old projects.
Thank you
Don
Sorry I see Jonathan has already changed the title.

Can I use my friend's iPad 2 to located my cousins iPhone 5???

Can I use my friend's iPad to located my cousins iPhone 5??? They both told me they have the Find My iPhone app....

You do not need any app.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

How can you do an alternate upgrade for AT&T on the Iphone 5 preorder?

After doing a test trial Iphone order of a 4s, I noticed there is no way to select alternate upgrade or a way to use an available upgrade for one line on another line withing the same AT&T account. Is this something that can be done over the phone or online by Apple at all? My concern truly emerges from my intent to preorder the Iphone 5 on the 14th.

What does this have to do with using an iPhone in an enterprise environment?

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones?

Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
Now another question. I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones. Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account? Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time? or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

My family has multiple iPhones. Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

How do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

how do we use if statement in labview?moreover can i use if statement inside for loop?

The if statement in LabVIEW is the Case structure. You can find that on the Structures palette right next to the For Loop. If you're still on the same subject about terminating a for loop early, then what you do is enclose your functions inside the loop with a case statment and make one of the case's empty except for one or more constants that you might have to wire. Hopefully, the attached picture will explain what I mean. Also, as I mentioned in one of your other posts, I think this technique is not as good as using a while loop. The array in the attached example is the same size no matter what and you may have to handle stripping extra or invalid elements.
