Can you transfer an upgrade on a family share plan?

We have a family share plan with 4 phones on it. My mom is overdue and up for an upgrade. I was wondering if it is possible for her to tranfer her upgrade to my line on  the same plan. I am looking at getting the droid x.
Is it possible for her to upgrade to a new phone (like the droid x) on her line then transfer it to my line, then reactivate her old phone.
If any of these methods are impossible I would like to know a way to get a new phone while still on a contract and have to pay the least amount of money as possible.

If you are buying the phone in a corporate store, then just tell them you want to do an alternate upgrade....they will use the eligible line to get you the discounted price, and activate it on whatever line you want.  The data plan for the Android will add $29.99 per month; your calling plan will not change.
If you are buying the phone online, you will have to use the eligible number to order the phone, and it will require you to add the data plan.  The bill will not change until the phone is activated.  When the phone arrives, you can call customer service to activate the phone on the line you want, and get the data plan all set up for that line.
Post back if you have further questions, or call customer service....they can answer all your questions too.  And enjpoy your new phone!

  • How can I cancel one line in a family share plan?

    What are the fees associated? Is this possible to do from the web?

    There may be an Early Termination Fee (ETF) if the line is still in contract.  Typical ETF's are $350 minus $10/month in contract for a smartphone or $175 minus $5/month in contract for a basic phone (based on the type of phone subsidized when the contract was started).
    To cancel, you must call Customer Service or visit a store (canceling cannot be done online by yourself) so then you can find out the appropriate fees for the line you want to cancel.
    Good luck.

    Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

    Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.

Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

  • How can you transfer photos from one phone to another

    How can you transfer photos from phone to phone

    If you are trying to get all the photos from an old phone to your new phone, you could sync the old phone which would create a backup containing your Camera Roll. Then connect the new phone and follow the prompts to register and name your new phone. You will then be given the choice of restoring data to your new phone from a backup of the old phone. This will replace any existing data on the new phone with the data from the backup so it's really the best option if the other phone is new.
    Another option would be to connect the phone to your computer and import your photos to iPhoto or the My Pictures folder. Then you could sync the other phone and under the Photos tab in iTunes you could choose the folders/albums of pictures you want on the phone. They will not be in the Camera Roll, but they will be on the phone.
    I hope this helps.

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • How many times can you transfer music

    Hi,
    Over the last few years we have had laptops breaking down and have had to transfer music and I was wondering how many times can you transfer from computer to another computer?
    Please help because at the moment I am slightly confused!

    Once you no longer use a machine, you are deactivating the iTunes library on that computer, right?
    You have 5 total simultaneous activations per music library managed by a single Apple ID. As long as you deactivate unused systems, within that limit of 5, you can transfer at will.

  • Can you transfer your ipod games and music to an ipad?

    Can you transfer your games and music from an I pod to an I pad?

    If the iPod was an iPod Touch and you had backed up the iPod in the past - yes you can restore the game data from the backup of the Touch. If you restore from the backup, you restore all of the data and settings that were on the Touch. You cannot selectively restore content - it is all or nothing.
    You will need to sync the games back to the iPad as well and  if all of the game apps and music are in your iTunes library on your computer, you can sync all of that content back to the iPad.
    If you don't have any of that content at all in iTunes and you have no backup of the iPod, you can download the games and the music again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID and iTunes account that you used to originally purchase the games and the music.
    There are some restrictions on this depending upon where you live but if you are in the U.S. you can download the content as I have stated above.

  • Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

    Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod touch to the ipad 2 and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

    Thanks Tgara.
    Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
    Argh!
    I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
    Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

  • Can you transfer music from a nano to a ipod touch?

    Can you transfer music from the nano to the ipod touch? how?

    After connecting your Ipod Touch to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod (Ipod Nano) from the File menu.
    Or you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your Ipod Touch in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Hope that helps you out.
