Does roaming while activating new (old Alltel) phone matter?

Hi,
Does it matter if I activate a new phone (actually an old Alltel Razr with clear ESN/Hex) in a roaming area rather than my home area?
After the conversion, I moved ~120 miles to an area that I'm pretty sure would be roaming and has a different area code. Alltel in my old home area was converted to Verizon (obviously ) and Alltel in my new area was converted to ATT. My Alltel Motorola Hint worked fine in both areas (and nationally) until I broke it grrr.
I will call *228 option 1 from the new phone while the old phone is turned off. The question is, will there be no issues if I activate now while roaming vs waiting a couple weeks until I travel to my old home area?
I have learned alot fom reading this forum (but not enough not to ask this question lol) so many thanks to the great contributors here!
tia!

today I ended up in a Verizon coverage area though still not my "home" area. I tried *228 option 3 ("not a valid option") and option 1 (something like 'not allowed' and clicked off--I thought it answered as "Verizon" but maybe I misheard). I called customer service who did have me try the *228 option 1 (which still hung up on me) and then manually programmed the Razr. Ta da! Customer service was very polite and helpful, though still asked if we wanted to upgrade to an iPhone4 --I'm sure they have to try or they get in trouble. I did get to say that I was unhappy that there's a new tower a mile away but we still don't get coverage at home, so maybe Verizon will look into the new tower (stranger things have happened, I suppose...).
I didn't try the *22800 etc (sorry budone!) so I didn't attempt every possibility but activation on regular *228 while roaming didn't work (as Ralph said ) and activating through customer service worked. for anyone else running into this situation.
thank you Ralph and budone for your help! It was sure neat being able to make/receive phone calls again!

I Need Help Importing my Contacts Onto my New (old) Palm phone.

I need to import my contacts onto my Palm Centro. As of now, they are in a .csv file. When I select import from the Palm Desktop file menu and browse for my contact file, it shows the file grayed out. Even if I instruct the program to allow all file types, it doesn't work. I've read that the Centro needs a .aba file- but I can't find a converter that works.
I'm on a Mac but it has OSX and Windows 7, so I can use any program/service that you guys can suggest. Even if you don't know a program that can do what I need, I also want to know definitively what file format my Palm Centro wants these contacts.
I know this is an old phone, but there must be a way to do this (and avoid typing in 400+ contacts).
Thanks very much in advance!

Can I still re-activate an old Alltel RAZR?

If I have an old RAZR from Alltel, and activate a new phone on that line, can I then go back and re-activate the old Alltel RAZR? The reason I ask is because I had to do order the iPhone on one of my secondary family lines so that I can then activate it on my line, but everyone is telling me that it first has to be activated on the line that it was ordered for, and then you re-activate the old phone. So my question is, will I run into any trouble re-activating this old Alltel phone on this line?

I will add, when I looked to see if I could upgrade (I have an Alltel plan) the system informed me I had to switch to a VZW plan before getting that phone. But that was at Apple. com
If you have an Alltel plan and ordered the phone without any changes, you are fine

I bought and legally own PS CS3. Installed on a desktop and the machine died completely. Downloaded a trial of CS3 from Adobe site. Went to activate and said too many activations. Activate over the phone. EXCEPT Adobe does not handle activation issues over the phone. Adobe doesn't care about their older products - they don't care that I spent hundreds of dollars for CS3. This is truly disgusting corporate behavior. Is there anything I can do? We aren't all rich photographers. I paid a great deal of money for this product. Is it now useless?Thank you,

The Apple techs are looking. But they can't find it. Nor can they find a back up on my laptop, Evidently when I backed up my Iphone to computer the calendar wasn't syncing. Since I only use the calander on my phone - I never noticed.
The Apple store rep that sold me the I-Phone 5 on Monday, was transferring my contacts and calendar thru I-Cloud (I never used I-Cloud before that moment - and always had it turned off). He successfully transferred the contacts - which are still on my phone), but the Calendar weirdly split into 6 calendars (2 of which were linked to my G-Mail which only had a few entries) (4 were linked to my MSN / Hotmail email and contained all the major events/data). I never created calendars that were separate or liked them to 2 different emails. I just typed entries into the I-Phone calendar. However, the calendar did exist on the new I-Phone for 24 hours. Something happened during transfer. When the Apple Genius Bar tech was attempting to back up my Calendar & merge the 6 calendars, everything disappeared in his hand while he was looking at it.
I am hoping that some really good data recovery expert exists that can restore the calendar that was in both I-Phones yesterday. It is completely devastating if I can't recover it.
Any help, or referrals, is great appreciated!!!!
Thanks!

Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

What calendar were you syning to? Outlook? Google? Something else? The directions on how to resync vary a bit.

I erased all the contacts, apple ID and icloud account in my old 4s and gave it to someone. However, whatever contact that someone has saved in my old 4s phone has added in my new 5sphone. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Can I get a "new" old phone from Amazon and have it activated?

Hello,
I have an old Verizon LG VX8300 that I would like to replace with the same model which I can purchase at various online stores. My contract is long over and I pay month to month.
Will Verizon activate this phone for me or do I have to get a newer phone? Will there be any fees? Anything info you can pride would be most appreciated. I never use testing, MP3's, internet or email with my phone. Simple local and long distance is all that is required.

If the phone is VZW branded and the phone is not blacklisted or marked as stolen, not a problem activating, there would not be any charge. You would just shut off the current phone and dial *228 from the 'new' old phone and follow the prompts.
There is no charge

I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

How did you "move everything" over?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

Moving iphone 4 content to an iphone 6, while keeping the old phone

I currently use an iPhone 4. I am getting an iPhone 6, and plan to bring all my apps and settings from the old phone to the new one.
I expect that the process is simply doing a backup of the old, and then choosing to use the backup as for a "restore" on the new phone when i first activate it through iTunes. That doesn't worry me and is not my question.
My concern is that I plan to keep the old phone also. So my plan is to give the new iPhone 6 a different name before doing the restore from the iPhone 4 backup. Will that work?
Also - as I go forward will it be a problem to keep synching both phones using the same instance of iTunes and the same Apple ID? I am guessing that I may run into some app updating issues with updates that can't run on the old iOS in the iPhone 4 (it cannot be updated to iOS 8). I suspect I'll just need to delete such apps when the time comes.
Can anyone give some insights on how this will work? I am guessing a lot here - and I'd rather know before I charge forward.
Thanks.

Your expectations are correct. You certainly can give the iPhone 6 a different name. iTunes will keep the two phones distinct. Apps which will not run on the iPhone 4 iOS level will not be loaded to it.

Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails?

Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails? The correct sender's name will appear in the "From" column, but an old message from a different sender in the body. This happens randomly. I have an iMac OSX 10.6.8. I recently had the hard drive cleaned, but Apple Mail seemed to be running fine when I set it up again. Could this be a virus? What should I do about it? Thanks for any insights!

Thanks. While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
it out. Appreciate the quick response!
