Change my new prepaid plan or start over?

My ultimate goal is to get an LG Cosmos on $35 prepaid plan.
I took a gamble an bought a LG env3 because it is an older phone with 3mp camera and flash. I read that people would buy this phone and then call to cancel the data plan. Perhaps these people's situations were different because this information was within the last year or so. I was looking to use it on the $35 prepaid plan. However, things have changed so the only option was a $60 monthly plan with 2gb data. This plan is better suited for the new smartphones you can get on prepaid. If I wanted that I would have got that instead.
So I have an older phone with less capabilities to take advantage of today's standard offerings yet paying for the same. I don't want to pay for it anyways.
I have already paid for one month at $60. I activated July 19th. Can I buy an LG Cosmos prepaid version (Amazon, eBay [Verizon doesnt appear to let you buy the phone by itself) and activate now and then will that $60 I spent go towards changing my plan to $35 monthly? Or I am stuck with this month's service under the $60 and need to wait til end of month? Or should I just let my service cancel after month and start over with a LG Cosmo prepaid purchase account through Verizion store?
I am kind of afraid to take a risk with a phone off amazon to activate on this account. Stories of people getting phones that need to wait 6 months... I feel more comfortable with a phone from verizon directly and any warranty benefits that entails.
If I have to get a new number it is not a big deal.

I recently bought an iPhone 5s from boost mobile I thought service would be decent but it really *****. I'm wondering if there is any way I can switch carriers maybe to us cellular seeing that they recently added new prepaid plans

I recently bought an iPhone 5s from boost mobile I thought service would be decent but it really *****. I'm wondering if there is any way I can switch carriers maybe to us cellular seeing that they recently added new prepaid plans and have good service in my area. I do know boost operates with sprint but not sure what I can do because having an expensive phone with crappy service really *****

Sorry, but Boost reportedly does not offer unlocking for iPhones, so you're stuck with them unless you can return the iPhone for a refund and cancel the service, or can sell the iPhone to someone who could use it with Boost.

Can't Create My Verizon Account With New Prepaid Plan

Tonight I converted my iphone 4 to a $45 prepaid plan. I went home to try to create a My Verizon account, and when I enter my number, it tells me my phone has to be in service (it is in service) and directs me to a line to activate/ program my phone. My phone is activated as a prepaid line- I can call people with no problem.
Another problem did come up, however, when I tried to call Verizon for help. Every number I tried said "Sorry, I'm having technical difficulties," and I never got any further.
I'm a little bit more than annoyed here, so any help would be great.

I'm sorry you're having issues with your new prepaid plan mawit. How did you convert the phone and service (store, by phone)? Are you able to receive calls or access the internet? If you still have issues with calls and data, your phone may still need to be activated properly. Try calling this number 877-777-5759 to go through the activation process. You may need to speak with a representative. After the phone is properly activated you should be able to set up your online account. Keep us posted.

Change Device on Prepaid Plan

I'm trying to move my verizon account from a pantech qwerty phone from walmart to a droid 2 i just bought. i keep trying to activate the droid but it always fails. i dial *22898 and failure. any help?

The Droid 2 will not be compatible with the daily prepaid plans. It will require a monthly plan along with a $29.99/month data package. I would reccomend calling Verizon's customer service from another phone so that you can get your plan switched and then get assistance in activating the phone.
It's also possible that there is an issue with the Droid 2, and the Verizon rep can help you identify anything that might be keeping the phone from activating.

Im looking for a cheep prepaid plan.

I use to have a family Verizon plan but can't afford it now so Im looking at the prepaid ones. I only need one phone and I really only use texting ALOT so a unlimited plan would be nice. I don't need web access but I would defiantly use it. And I can't pay more then $20-25 a month.so I guess I just need help finding the right plan. any suggestions will help. and! I already have a Verizon inactive phone can I buy minutes/a plan for the old phone?

As long as the old phone you have is a feathure phone and not a Smart Phone is should be able to be used as a prepaid call customer service just to double check 1-888-294-6804. You can get an unlimited texting plan for $20.00 that would cover verizon and other service providers there is a $10.00 text plan for verizon to verizon unlimited texting. If you you think at some point you would want to use the cell for voice you can buy the $30.00 plan which is good cor 90 days and use the 25 cents per minute plan, you would have to add $20.00 text package every month. They do have just text packages which customer service can explain to you when you call to verify that that your old cell will work with the new prepaid plan. You will have to pay $25 or $35 to reactive the old phone.

HT5312 I cannot remember the password for iCloud that goes with an old email address that I used to set it up. How do I delete the iCloud account and start over?

I am stuck in a loop and want to delete the iCloud account I set up and start over. How?

If you acquired content with the old Apple ID, you also forfeit the content. Content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another nor does Apple merge IDs. It would be best to reacquire use of the ID than to abandon it if you have content because that is the only ID that can redownload the content or update it. Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the password for the account.
Otherwise, if none of that matters, just abandon the ID and everything associated with it, delete everything from your devices and libraries. Then create a new Apple ID and start over.

Please note - this was not a personalized email - Apple is sending this out to ALL podcasts that are listed on iTunes.
If you are hosting with Libsyn or most any other "Podcast" host you should be ok.

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

My kids share use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc?

My kids use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share the id (my email address) but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc? I'd rather share I think, but don't want to create a nightmare for myself. Also, I already have a kindle app (with purchased content) for my computer - does getting a new id for itunes change my ability to access my kindle account on my ipad? Thanks!

So first I'd say that it's not a good idea to start a new apple id if you have a large purchase history. You may not transfer purchases between apple IDs. You should consider some other options listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37 Primarily the option where you or your children have seperate icloud accounts/email accounts that sync their contacts apart from yours. You may use your apple ID for purchases and use a different one for icloud/email/etc.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Leaving one Family Plan to start a new one?

Here is my situation:
I am currently in a Family Plan with my parents and brother. I am eligible for my 20-month upgrade this month and plan on upgrading to an iPhone. My fiancee currently has an iPhone with AT&T and her contract is up next July, at which point she would like to switch to Verizon and get on a new Family Plan with me (just the two of us). It is important that we both keep our current phone numbers through all of this.
My question is: if I upgrade now and stay on my parents' Family Plan, will I incur any additional fees for leaving that Family Plan next July and starting a new Family Plan with my fiancee? Is doing this even possible?
Or would the better route be to leave my parents' Family Plan now, starting my own single-line plan, and then next July changing my single-line plan to a Family Plan and adding my fiancee?
I hope this makes sense... I have searched the message boards and support pages and can't seem to find answers to my questions, or anyone else with the same situation.
Thanks,
Dave

you should not have any fees, but depending on your credit a deposit may be required

its up to you, fianancially speaking, see comments below

in order to keep your number and start your own single line plan you would do an assumption of liability (AOL).
the phone number and contract would become yours.
what can happen, is since the phone is currently in one name nad going to another name you lose your warranty.
so it may be better to do it before you upgrade.

Has anyone had problems signing on Mac Pro with the new Maverick system. I seem to starting typing my name and after about five letters I lose the first three which screws up the sign on and I have to start over. Any ideas on a cure?

I am having trouble with my sign in with the new Maverick system. I type 4 or 5 letters of my name and three disappear and I have to start over. It does it all the time and even when my wife signs in with her name and password. Anyone know a cure. Dave

Try resetting the admin pasword ...

New Hard Drive installed - Time Machine wants to start over!?

Info: My MacBook Pro is the old version. Plus I have not upgraded to Snow Leopard.
I was running out of hard drive space so I took my MacBook to MacTown where I bought it on Monday night and they put in a 500GB hard drive for me. I asked if it would affect anything such as Time Machine, etc. They said it would not.
When I plugged it in Tue. night (after I picked it up) I got a message saying that it needed about 300GB for the backup and it only had 200GB available (I use a 500GB external drive for my Time Machine backups). I called yesterday and asked if it had to do with the new hard drive. The guy said no, I just had too much stuff on my backup and needed to delete some of it.
Well, last night I messed around with it and a)saw that Time Machine is supposed to delete old backups if it gets too full so this should not be the problem. b)I went into Time Machine and it does not show any old backups. It only has Feb. 1, 2010 as the last one. So, my conclusion: It does not recognize the old backup and wants to start over with my new hard drive.
I called back today and spoke with the guy who did the work. I told him this and he said I should just delete the old backups from my external drive and start over (if I am sure there is nothing I will ever want on it). He said to go to Disk Utility and re-format it.
My question: I am sure I don't need anything from the old backups, but am I not thinking of anything? Is there a chance they didn't copy something over, etc.?
Any advice would be appreciated. I am not impressed with the MacTown people right now.
Thanks,
Peace

Tell them about this Apple article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338
It does say may, not will, but it always does for me, and there are lots of similar posts in these forums. (This was supposed to be fixed in Snow Leopard, but it still does it.)
Well, last night I messed around with it and a)saw that Time Machine is supposed to delete old backups if it gets too full so this should not be the problem.
That depends. It won't delete the last remaining backup. To do a new full backup requires as much space as the data it's backing-up, plus 20% for workspace, etc., on the TM drive.

Correct. It is a new drive after all, and Time Machine's main role in life is to back-up anythng that's new or changed.
That's your only choice (although you can just erase it).

No, most likely, that's your only option.
Any advice would be appreciated. I am not impressed with the MacTown people right now.
Unfortunately, even the Geniuses at Apple Stores don't know a lot about Time Machine; in some cases, the AppleCare folks aren't a lot better.
