Canceling Verizon Service To Get iPhone 3gs

Hi,
I have a few questions and any help would be appreciated (sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Didn't quite know where to put it.
Currently I am on my parent's family plan. I just graduated gradschool and got a job and will be moving out for good, and I want to set up my own cell phone service. I want to cancel my service with verizon and get the iPhone. I am 12 months into a 24 month contract with my current phone, so I know I will half to pay for early termination. Thing is, I need to port my number to AT&T. So how do I do this exactly? Since my mom is the account holder I figure she has to be involved in some way. Will she need to go with me to the Apple store to provide them her account information at Verizon to complete the port? Also, can all this be done at the apple store? Do I have to do some of this online? Or do I have to go to AT&T? (I would prefer to do all this at the apple store, if it can be done there).
Just wanted to say thanks for any help in advance. Never had to do this before, so I'm just a little nervous. Hopefully it goes smooth.

I was in the same situation as you. I did not need the account holder for verizon to be there, they never asked for their social or anything. But if it's not a big deal for your mom to be there, I might bring her just incase. You will need the verizon account number and password if there is one. I did it at the apple store, just let them know that you are porting your number and they will take care of it for you. Everything should go fine if you go by yourself but might want to bring account holder along to be safe.

Cancelling Verizon services....

I just got off the phone with Verizon customer service after I learned that my bundle price that I am paying $124.99 for has been reduced by $20 per month. I am a loyal customer of 6 years and they won't give me a discount because I already received one over a year ago. They actually told me to call back in a couple months to see if I can get a discount. I would rather switch to a competitor's bundle package out of principle as I disagree with this type of business practice.
Verizon you really need to get in sync with your loyal customers because you are losing one as soon as TimeWarner can setup an install at my house! You would rather lose $160+ a month from me rather than giving me a discount...that is not smart business.
Your customer service made it very aware that I was under contract for 2 months still and if I wanted to cancel I would have to pay a $60 cancellation fee. That is just fine with me because TW is offering a $200 gift card for switching.

As long as the old account was in your name, you should be able to have Tech Support "repoint" it for you. It essentially takes the username from your old account and sticks it on the new one.
If that doesn't work, you *may* be able to escalate a ticket to have it released for re-use. Usernames and aliases are only supposed to be locked for 180 days (~6 months) after deletion. If it hasn't released already, there may be something systematic causing the problem.
There are options for contacting Verizon's Tech Support on their Contact Us page. I've had good experiences with the chat support, but if you prefer an actual voice 1-800-VERIZON should get you where you need to go.
Good advice!

No service problem in iPhone 3GS after upgrading to i.o.s 6.

I updated my iPhone 3GS to i.o.s 6 and now i cant activate it.
Showing NO SERVICE even with a valid sim card.
Is there a solutio to get rid of this problem and get my phone working back?

You could go to settings/general/reset and then reset network connections. that might help.
Or you could reboot the phone
Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears then let both buttons go and wait for the phone to restart.

I have no service on my iphone 3gs. Is there a fix for this problem.

I have no service or no 3G Network on my iphone 3GS. Is there a fix from Apple for this problem.

Sometimes this happens to me, I know I am old school as well with an iPhone 3g hey what can I say I got a great deal on it. If I do a reboot, hold the power button and home button down for 10 seconds, and then hold the power button down until the apple logo appears it usually fixes this issue.

Getting iphone 3gs in uk e

hello everyone.
i am coming hopefully to the UK by september and i will stay there for a year.
i want to get the new iPhone 3gs.
can i get from uk factory unlocked or does it have to be a contract.
can someone please explain to me how it works in the UK? because when i go to the O2 website they state that i am in the the UK so the required information doesn't show up
kind regards
hsn

Hello,
I'd recommend the PAYG iPhone. They cost either
16GB - £440.40
32GB - £538.30
This price includes 12mths unlimited WiFi and 3G data but no calls. The phone is locked to O2 but there's no contract so you don't have to pay anything after 12mths.

How to get iPhone 3GS Composite Video output to work

I have a iPhone 3GS with the latest 3.x FW (Updated 2/6/2010). I bought a Apple Composite video cable which lists iPhone 3GS as a supported product: MB129LL/B (one with 30 pin dock connector, composite, audio L&R, USB, power adapter).
When I connect the cable to the iPhone, audio output from music works (but is a little quiet compared to other inputs to my stereo).
However, I cannot get the video output to show any video. When the iPhone is connected my TV goes from a Blue Screen to Black, so it seems that something is being output.
I have tried both Apple and 3rd party cables with no luck. I had the same results with the previous 3.0 FW. Phone is new as of 11/2009.
I have tried photo slide shows while connected and I also purchased a product to make a iPhone compatible video.
In all cases, the TV screen remains black, but the iPhone screen shows the video fine.

Have you tried connecting other composite video sources to your TV, to be sure the problem isn't in your TV set?

How do I get iPhone 3GS videos to automatically sync t Apple TV?

How can I get the 3Gs video clips automatically to my Apple TV? They seem to just import in to iPhoto, but I'm not sure how to get them from there in to iTunes (Movies) automatically.
Do I need to manually drag them in to iTunes each time I have a new clip?

OK thanks - was just hoping that there'd be a slicker way of doing this.
Like an "automatically import videos into to itunes"-checkbox in iPhoto or something.

Should i get iPhone 3Gs to record a concert show?

I have an iTouch 32gb which i bought last year. I'm really really happy with it ^^ until iPhone 3Gs came to the market.
Im planning to record Britney concert with it. However, should i consider other mobile brand to record it? (I know i may sound silly T_T)
Thanks in advance.

N97 yeah if you want a do all swiss army phone the problem is with having that nice 20 billion pixel camera and every feature known to man is the software wont let you use them proper!
Symbian is slow buggy and a total nightmare with hardly any apps even booting up my n85 its loads like a 486 with a hard disk problem!
Ive had bags of nokia phones and there always slow and buggy!
Go for the iphone its not big on features but the software is simple works and does the intended things very well!
I aint an apple fan but I had enough nokias break on me to open a mobile phone stall for spare parts!

Can't get iPhone 3GS to recovery mode

I have an old iPhone that I haven't used for over a year. Naturally I couldn't remember the passcode. I tried all the versions of getting it to Recovery mode but none of those worked. When pressing the home and sleep buttons the slider never went off. Likewise when starting the phone, pressing the home while connecting the cable never got me to Recovery. Nor did the DFU mode instructions. Now I've ran out of attempts in unlocking the phone, it just tells me to connect the phone to iTunes. Well, surprise, it still won't connect. It gives me the "can not connect to iTunes. Cancel - Try again"-pop-up every time.
I'm wondering if that is because the iTunes is a much newer version than the phone? Or is my home button broken? Pressing the home button doesn't wake the phone up from sleep, should it. My iPhone 5 it does but I can't remember what the functionality was in 3GS.
Any suggestions? Should I try to find an older version of iTunes or what. I tried it with both a Macbook and a PC, same response on both.
Very grateful for any suggestions, my son really (I mean REALLY!) would like to get his hands on the phone...
Best Regards,
Olli

Pressing the home button should wake up the display if the phone is powered on. It sounds to me like the home button is toast on your phone if it refuses to enter recovery mode.
You can bring it to an Apple store and they can confirm that for you if you'd like.

Can I get iPhone 3GS backup off of an iMac running OSX 10.5 to restore the data on a new iPhone 5?

I bought a new iPhone 5 for my wife because her old 3GS was at its end. I made sure to back up the old phone on her old iMac running OSX 10.5. Got the new phone home plugged it in to the computer and failure ensued... Can't sync because the iTunes is too old, can't upgrade iTunes because the computer is too old... I have a backup on the computer is there any way to move it to my newer iMac running 10.8 to get some of her data back? I tried to think ahead by backing up but failed to think about incompatibility issues... Any help would shorten my time in the doghouse,

You can certainly move the backup files but that will do nothing for the apps or media that is on the device. Backups do not contain apps or media.
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
For the apps and media it will be necessary to move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Creating a new user account on the new computer would be a good idea if you both use iTunes and want to keep your media seperate.

Can I get iphone 3gs if I just bought the 3G?

I bought the iphone 3G on May 21st and just found out the 3gs comes out on Fido June 19th. Since its been less than 30 days can I exchange the phone? I called Fido and the lady sounded like she didn't know what she was talking about. she said if its more than 15 days I can't exchange it. I'm going to call them back and speak to someone else. Just want to know if anyone knows anything about this?
It's not right for Apple to hide the release date of their new products. If they are going to do that, then they should let people who get screwed over exchange their phone for the new one. Especially since its been less than 30 days!

Hey! I'm in the same boat. Bought my iPhone 3G on May 11 for $199.
What you should do depends on where you bought your iPhone. If you bought it at an AT&T store, then this article gives you all your answers.
http://consumerist.com/5286680/bought-a-new-iphone-within-the-last-month-and-hat e-yourselfapple-for-it-s-all-good
If you bought it at an Apple store (like I did), then you should reserve a new iPhone 3G S at buyiphone.apple.com and on June 19, go back to your Apple store with your month old phone, its packaging, accessories, and receipt and exchange it for your new iPhone 3G S. There will be a restocking fee of $20. I called my Apple store here in Michigan this morning and this is what they told me. But you have to act fast or the exchange cost goes up to about $600. The buyiphone.apple.com site is going through some maintenance for the next few hours, so you have to wait to determine your eligibility and reserve your phone.
I think Apple like AT&T is also offering a $100 refund if you want to keep your 3G, but I didn't pay much attention because I want the 3G S.
Hope that helps!

How to cancel Verizon service

>>Duplicate post removed to comply with the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service See Rip off<<

Did you check your usual data usage over the last year to see if 2 GB was enough for you? If you normally used more than 2gb a month while you had your unlimited plan then going with that plan was clearly a mistake. You could have paid full retail to keep your unlimited plan. You can also opt to get a higher gb plan...especially since you don't have wifi. If you're having issues with your phone you can get a replacement under warranty or swap to a different device while you're under the 14 day period. You mentioned Sprint...if they can meet your service needs then maybe that will be a better fit.

No Service Error on iPhone 3gs

Hi everyone, I have a really big problem and could use some help. For about 2 weeks now my 3gs has been losing bars and going to no service like once every 30 minutes. Its not jailbroken or anything like that, its regular. I've looked on the internet and read every fix I could find (reseting network connections, switching 3g off, airplane mode) and none of them have worked. The apple store says I'm out of warranty so they can't do anything. Can anyone PLEASE help me!

try replacing sim card. some time dirt in simcard and iphone can
cause this even if there is no other hardware problem.

How to fix no service sign on iphone 3gs

i need help with my iphone no service plz someone help

Did you try this, mentioned in Troubleshooting iPhone hardware
The "No Service" message appears in the upper left corner of the display
Try toggling Airplane mode "on" and "off". Wait five seconds between the off and on modes.
If that doesn't work, try another location.
If another location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.
If the message is present in all locations, have the iPhone serviced.
