Not necessarily. You can remove the SIM card from the phone and set it up via wifi only first and then go the your MyVerizon account online and activate the phone.

How can I purchase items for app when the app was loaded on another ID before? I has to Chang my AppleID and also transferred an app to new phone. I can't purchase items for app because it wants me to buy the app through new ID. The app was free.
All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, whether or not they are free. To do in-app purchases in that app you will either need to log in with the account that downloaded it, or delete it (which will delete its content) and download it with your currently logged in account if you want to do IAPs on that account.

I have an Iphone 4s and have just gotten a new computer. I would like to transfer my contacts, photos etc. from my Iphone to my new computer so that when I need to sync my phone I will retain everything just as it is now on my Iphone. At the moment, when I try and sync my computer states that I will lose everything on my Iphone. Please help someone, I have too much on my phone to lose it. Thanks
The iphone is not a backup device. Everything should be on your computer.
Copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
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.
20 Year Plus Verizon ClientThe 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. -
HT201269 how do i activate my new phone?

If you already have an old phone/ carrier just turn it on. Verizon works in this way.
With wifi follow the Setup Assistant on-screen. -
Will you help me activate my new phone?
Will you help me activate my new phone under my correct phone number?
Michelle you are not understanding.
1) What phone do you have?
2) What phone does your daughter have?
3) Are they basic phones?
4) Are they Androids?
5) Are they Apple phones?
Just what devices do you both have? Make and Model numbers, Names of the devices? I am not telling you to call anyone right now!
I said go into a Verizon Wireless Corporate Store. Since you stated you cannot make phone calls.
Borrow a phone and call if necessary. Use a pay phone if there is one available, use a friends or neighbors phone.
We have used these types of communications devices long before cell phones came into use.
If the phones are 4G LTE and both have sim cards in the devices you can swap them out and each phone should work.
I cannot do it for you over the internet with the little to no information you are giving. -

i damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?
Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier. -

Hi Hannah,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below will walk you through restoring the iPhone from a previous iCloud or iTunes backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Restore from an iCloud backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
Select the backup you created earlier.
You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
Use iTunes
Restore from a backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from and Iphone 4 to 5. I completed a back up on my iphone 4 via icloud which went ok. When setting up my new phone I selected to set up as a new phone and not via icloud back up. Is there anyway I can restore my details to my new phone? Thanks Hayley
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from. -

i need help trying to activate my new phone online where do i go??
Log in to your MyVerizon (verizonwireless.com) and on the Overview page scroll down to I WANT TO... in the third column of boxes, under DEVICE, the 3rd one down is "Activate or Switch Device". Click on that and follow the instructions. If there is an issue, it will instruct you to call customer service or you will be connected to customer service automatically. Let us know if this works...
