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,

    I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? Any other advise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    The only "unlimited" plan I can think of where this would not apply is the old Connect plan for multimedia/basic phones.  That unlimited data, on devices such as the LG Voyager, EnvTouch, and other "multimedia" devices is  not the same.
    If you currently have an individual $29.99 unlimited data plan with a 3G Smartphone, then you can buy a BBQ10 retail and activate it with the same data plan and keep the unlimited.

  • How can I delete old data in citadel

    How can I delete old data from Citadel so that HDD is not full when data is continously being logged in the database ?

    Hi there,
    I could see different possible ways to limit the database size on a LabVIEW DSC system.
    a) You could limit the lifespan of your logged data to a certain time by adjusting the option 'Days to keep historical data' in the Tag Configuration Editor>Configure>Historical... tab.
    b) You could use the Citadel Database VIs. Archive Database.vi would allow you to archive a database or a part (certain traces/tags, or certain time interval) to another location. With the archive option 'destructive', it would delete the source of the data from the original database.
    Delete Traces.vi would delete a traces from a database.
    c) The same/similar functionality you can have throught the Measurement and Automation Explorer and its Historical Data Viewer plug-in
    b) and c) are NEW features of LabVIEW DSC 6.1!
    Hope this helps

  • Can I cancel my data plan?

    For a smartphone that is on a month-to-month contract, can I cancel my data plan that I no longer need, and keep the voice & text plans?  Or do I need to switch phones?  Or switch carriers?

    if you have a smart phone you need some sort of data package.   however if your month to month they have special discounts for you   what plan are you on and what are you payinbg?
    you could get the 500 mb plan for 20 bucks, unl talk and text,  line access of 40 minus 15 month to month discount.   45 dollars a month for a cell is not bad

  • In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have in on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data?

    In iCloud preferences when I deselect an item, e.g. documents I get a message saying the info in documents will be taken off my mac and kept in iCloud. I would rather have the info on my mac and not in iCloud. How can I keep my data on my mac?

    My mistake, my OS is 10.9.4.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I guess, I really don't understand iCloud and how files are stored and where. I gather when I was asked to set it up I should have declined. Anyway, it looks like some of my files are stored in the cloud. If I shut off "documents" in the preferences it will remove those docs from my macbook, but they will remain in the cloud and I could get access to them for another computer if I set it up.
    I also gather to avoid this, I have to, on a file by file basis, save them to my mac and then they will be on my mac. What I don't get, is that these files must exist on my mac because I can edit it without being connected to the internet. Maybe those files I see when disconnected from the internet are on my mac and I wouldn't be able to see cloud files unless I was connected to the internet.
    My concern is that when I deselect "documents" in the iCloud preferences it warns me that those documents on my mac will be removed from my mac. I am afraid to deselect "documents' or "calendars" as a result.
    If I seem confused, I am. Please don't feel obligated to reply if my message is too muddled.

    How can I change my data plan and backdate to beginning of this billing cycle

        That's a great question GregTho! If you change your plan online, you can select the option to backdate, future date or on demand, (meaning, today). Please let us know if this works.

  • Transfer Upgrade - Keeping Unlimited Data Plan

    We have a family plan with 5 devices.  Two of the lines have unlimited data, one has the $30/2gb plan, and two are basic phones.  We have several upgrades available since the basic phones haven't been upgraded regularly.   
    The person with the $30/2gb plan recently upgraded to an Iphone 4S in April, but now she has her eye set on the Iphone 5 when it comes out. 
    If she upgrades to the Iphone 5 in October, can I use her old Iphone 4S and keep my Unlimited plan? 
    (I wouldn't technically be upgrading my line.  Only her line would be an upgrade.  I would just be using the "discarded" phone.  I have switched back and forth between my current phone and my old phone before without issue when I left my current phone at work.  However, I am just worried there might be some footnote in the new plans that says you can't do this.)

    I was informed by Verizon Customer Service that, after June 28, Transfer Upgrades of a subsidized phone to a line with the Unlimited Feature would automatically result in the loss of that Unlimited Feature. What remains a gray area to me is if the subsidized phone was purchased prior to June 28 and then subsequently transferred to the Unlimited Line. Verizon is tracking all subsidized phone purchases from their store, so it seems there may be a risk unless Verizon is also factoring in the date of subsidized purchase (pre- or post- June 28). Time will tell for sure.
    WOW, that is a new one... I am going to have to check this out with the couple of Verizon people I know. This would be very interesting to know if it is true..

  • 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.

  • Keeping Old Text Plan While Upgrading

    Hey Guys,
    I recently upgraded my phone through Amazon Wireless. However, I have not activated the phone yet because I am unsure if I will be able to keep my old text plan. I currently have the 5000+unlimited member to member text plan which seems to no long exsist. Since, I am the only one that texts on my family plan, I rather keep this plan which is $20 a month instead of signing up for the $30 unlimited family share plan. Will verizon be able to grandfrather my text plan even though I upgraded through Amazon Wireless?  Any advice would be great. Thanks

    Congratulations on the recent upgrade. A new phone just in time for the Holidays.
    To answer your question, yes, you will be allowed to keep your old text messaging plan on your line after the upgrade. If for any reason the messaging plan drops off the account you can contact me immediately and I can access your account and make sure the plan is added back to your line.
    I trust this information has fully answered your concern.

  • How can I purge old data on EM Repository?

    I'd like to remove my old data of EM repository. For example, removing old data collected before Jan 1st 2007.
    Is there any auto-job for that facility? Or Any ideas?

    Be sure you have your dbms_jobs working and they have run.
    MGMT_JOB_ENGINE.apply_purge_policies();
    is perhaps the one you need to have run.
    You can verify the info
    setup tab,
    Management & Service Repository
    Repository Operations
    Then check the date stamps in the Last Scheduled Run
    They should be no more than a day or 2 ago fore each and every one of them.
    If its not, then check the repostory db dbms_jobs and dbms_job.run(xxx) the job.

  • How Can I Keep Photo Data When Adding Photo To New Book?

    All of my photos in IPhoto have dates and descriptions as part of the file names. When I transfer then to make a book, all of this data goes away. Is there any way I can keep this data as a description of the photo.

    Where are you transferring the file to and how? As long as you use iPhoto the title and description remain associated with the photos. Are you referring to the title and having the title show on the book's page along with the photo? There is just one theme that displays the title: Folio
    The only way to get the description to display is to change the title to what you put in the Information/Description field. That can be done automatically with the Applescript described in my post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5400478&#5400478

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Can somebody clarify the data plans for me?

    My wife and I are looking to get our first Droids and I have some questions about the data plan.
    Does the 150MB allowance refer only to downloading/uploading or will we be charged for, say, listening to the radio online? Does playing Farmville count towards the allowance? What about GPS? I looked around the Verizon site but can't find any clear explanation of the data plans.
    Thanks!

    Any time you transmit or recieve data on Verizon's network, you will be assessed usage against your 150MB allowance on that plan.  That means that any time you send information to, or download information from the internet, you will be using your allowance.  This includes activities like playing games online (Farmville) and listening to the radio online.  Both of those activities are fairly data intensive, and if you plan to do them more than 1-2 times a month for a short amount of time, you should consider the unlimited data plan.
    GPS does not use data in and of itself, but most programs that utilize GPS, like navigation programs, or apps that help you identify businesses/restaurants/attractions nearby will use data when they download that information.
    If you are online and you are NOT connected to a Wifi network, you are using data.

  • Can you transfer a data plan from the original iPad to the New iPad?

    I have the original iPad with the unlimited data plan, and I was wondering if I could transfer that plan to have unlimited 4G LTE (for the same price).

    Yes, you are grandfathered in. That's from AT&T.

  • How can I switch a data plan from one line to another?

    I have 5 lines on my account in a Nationwide Family Plan. I have a question about these two lines:
    A: Smartphone, 2GB Data
    B: Smartphone, 4GB Data Promo
    Line A has been using about 3GB every month due to no wifi access, while Line B uses less than 1.5 GB a month as they work from home.
    I can't see upping Line A's data as the next available tier is the 5GB for $50/month, and there is literally no way I would ever consider a Share Everything plan, they are just too expensive for my needs (i have unlimited on my line and use 5-9GB a month)
    Is there any way I can swap the data between the two phone numbers? Or just switch the phone numbers between the two phones? I can always swap the SIM's myself (they are 4G devices).
    Thank you for any input you may have!

    Your suggestion is to trade phone numbers. For example your example is Mom has XXX-555-1111 and Dad has XXX-555-2222. They would have change to Mom with the 2222 number and Dad with the 1111 number. All their contacts would have to call a new number to get that person.
    For the OP to keep the numbers associated with the original person (Mom-1111 & Dad-2222) it isn't possible to switch phone numbers associated with a specific line's contract and features.
