Getting iphone, Questions about Family Plan. NEED HELP!

So right  now I am on a family plan with my Dad and mother and we all have old phones that are basic basic. Our family plan has no Data plan at all, and in fact the plan is so old that it does not exist anymore. However I am moving away soon and I want to upgrade to an iphone. My question is this, If I upgrade, will I have to get my own plan? Or will I be able to just upgrade my phone and add the data charges just to my phone without making my parents upgrade their phones as well?
Any help will be awesome. I don't want to go into the store and talk to a sales person because they are motivated by commission so it would be in their best interest to upgrade all or them. So if I can go in there educated about the specifics of upgrading it would help.
Thanks!!

Thanks to our forum member for the great information!
In addition, please note that you will most likely be able to keep your current calling plan when you upgrade your line to an iPhone 4; however, if the iPhone 4 is not compatible with your current calling plan you will be notified when you process your order online if you login to your My Verizon account and you will be presented with your new calling plan options.
If your calling plan is compatible with the iPhone 4, you will be able to simple upgrade to the iPhone 4 device and add the data plan to your line. This does not affect your parents calling plan in any way. You can also separate your line from the family calling plan and have an individual calling plan for your line and have your parents lines stay with their family share plan.
If you do not feel comfortable ordering your upgrade phone online or at a store, you can also order your upgrade from the comfort of your home if you dial 1-800-922-0204 to contact our customer service department.

  • Question about family plan charges.

    Hey, I was just looking at my first bill since starting a family plan with two iPhones and they are charging me $9.99 for the second phone. When you choose your family plan it clearly states that the monthly charge is for the first two lines, and that each additional line will be charged $9.99. Should I be disputing this charge or is this something that all iPhone users encounter when buying a family plan? Thanks for the help.

    It could be by location also. I entered mine and it said first two lines and gave a price. Then additional (third phone) $9.99 per month. So you could be right stinknuggets. Only way to know for sure is to contact AT&T though.

  • Question about hard drive, need help lol.

    Hey I'm kinda new to the MacBook world and have a stupid question. I am getting a late 2009 MacBook unibody (white polycarbonate, model MacBook 6.1... I believe) I am switching the original 250gb 5400 rpm hard drive out for a Seagate Momentus XT 750gb 7400 rpm hybrid hard drive. I want to keep everything on the original hard drive and just pop the new hard drive and start fresh with Snow Leopard. I'm going to purchase the SL cd from apple but I do not have the original  grey start up cd that came with it (my girlfriends little sister lost it). Do I need to call apple for that cd in order to start fresh on my new hard drive or is everything I need on the SL cd?
    Also how do I go about wiping the whole computer when I put the hard drive in and use SL? I want to essentially have a completely clean laptop with a new hard drive.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    The SL disc you get from Apple will do everything you need. When you nstall the new hard drive there will be nothing to wipe, the drive is the only piece of that Mac hat stores anything so you don't need to worry about that. Post back and let me know how that hybrid drive works out....I'm interested.

  • Question about photo shop, need help

        I downloaded a version of photoshop a friend recommended because I was looking for a free photoshop to use... So I downloaded it, and when I opened it, here is the response I got:
        "This program may not have installed correctly. If this program didn't install correctly, try reinstalling using settings that are compatible with this version of windows."
        I am using a windows 7 computer. Here is a link to the photoshop the dude sent me:
        I really want to figure out how to get this to work, I am terrible with computers and I don't even know if it is gonna show the link to the photoshop I had downloaded here on this post, but, I wanna figure out how to get this to work so I can go about creating my own mugen video game (I wanna learn mugen).. But first I need to figure out how to get photoshop to work, I am not very good with computers. Does anyone have any idea why I "may not have installed it correctly?
          I will attempt to type in the url to my photoshop download manually here,
              <link removed>
           If the first link doesn't show the photoshop I downloaded, hopefully the 2nd one where I typed it in manually will work... Does anyone have any idea why it's doing this or what I can do to get it to work?

    Bravo to you for seeing the light that if you want to play you have to pay.
    The best place to buy Photoshop is directly from Adobe.
    Brace yourself:  The full version of Photoshop is amongst the most expensive software out there.
    You might want to look into buying Photoshop Elements.  It does most of what the full version of Photoshop does and it won't break the bank.
    And stay off eBay for buying Photoshop.  The "too-good-to-be-true prices" you sometimes see are scams, and you'll likely get ripped-off.
    For what it's worth, I don't know of too many programs that charge as subscriptions.  Of course, if you consider that every few years new versions are released that require paying for the upgrade, that's not too different.  But if you don't upgrade you can keep using the version you have for no additional cost.

  • Question about Dynamic Overclocking - Need help/advice

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to version 3.9 bios on my MB (K8N SLI paltinum).
    I had DOT enabled before the upgrade, on 9% extra. this worked ok. as soon as a program required heavy CPU, DOT kicked in and give me a 9% boost. and it also cooled off, back to normal operations when the CPU was idle again.
    now, since the upgrade to 3.9, the DOT always stays at 9%? when booting up, when idling, always...? Is there a setting that I missed? or is it a bug in 3.9?
    --> after the upgraded I loaded the optimized defaults.
    thanx for any help.
    S.

    hi guys,
    thnx all for the updates. I'm currently using DOT on 9%. It runs rock stable. IIf I set it on 11%, no problems.
    C&Q is off, always was.
    The problem with DOT is, that it doesn't do what it should do. (in 3.9 bios). nl, when the CPU runs on 0% load, no Over-clocking is need.
    Any other settings that I should check?
    Do I need to turn on Q&C?
    thnx!

    Someone could have stolen it in Kuwait...happens all the time .
    Seriously...FaceTime is banned there...there is no way to add it back to your phone...if you wanted FaceTime, you should not have purchased your phone there.
    BTW: You don't have any warranty or support for this phone in India.

    By "sos mode" do you mean recovery mode?  If so, you have to connect it to iTunes and restore it.

  • Switching to AT&T with family plan -- need multiple iPhone 4's

    We are currently Verizon customers coming to AT&T for the iPhone 4. We want to get three iPhone 4's, along with another regular phone, and put them on a family plan. My son lives 4 hours away, and won't be able to come to the local AT&T store on June 24 to get a phone.
    Because of the limit of one per customer, can my husband and I each pre-order a phone and then still buy an additional iPhone 4 for my son at the AT&T store on June 24?
    Could my son pre-order an iPhone 4 and have it shipped to my address for me to have activated with the other phones? He is not planning to transfer his number, the rest of us on the plan are.
    Since he's not porting his old number, could he pre-order and have the phone shipped to him and then add it to our family plan once we've activated our new phones? Or do all the phones on the plan have to be activated at the same time and place?
    Any information would be appreciated -- thanks!

    AT&T has a whole upgrade and new account guide on its website. Looks like new accounts can order one per person in line but only one per account online. Existing accounts can order one new iPhone per line (numbers with AT&T accounts). Nothing has been released about Apple's pre order policy.

  • I get error 0x80073cf9 now and I need help to FIX Windows Store can't update any Apps & can't install any Apps now?

    Hi I hope some one can tell me step by step how to fix windows 8.1, I can't update any of my Apps and can't install any new apps now and I get error code 0x80073cf9?  But my problem is different than most of the other FIXES I read about, because nothing
    fixes my problem to be able to install new Apps and get app updates and stop getting that error code?
    I keep getting same error code 0x80073cf9 after I try any of the FIXES I have read about and tried all  the fixes on  my Lenovo Z580 laptop, that came with windows 8 and updated to 8.1.  And ever since I bought this laptop I could
    always install and update all my apps for the last year when I had Win 8 and Win 8.1 now.   This has been going on since April and May and its driving me crazy!    And from the May updates I did get all the updates and
    I also installed the KB update  that said I need this KB to get all updates in the future.  
    But all the other people when they get this error code they could not even open and use any of their Apps already installed.  And they also get the error code when they try to update or get a new apps.   
    But I can click on any APP installed already and use all my Apps with no problems.     I have read so many how to fix this error code but nothing works! :-(      I have tried a lot of 
    the fixes on Microsoft forums that says do this and the fix will get rid of the error code but I keep getting the same error code after I try that  fixes.    And I have read a lot of other windows 8 an windows 8.1  web sites when
    I search for how to fix this error code?   And tried all of the fixes that were different from the Microsoft forum fixes. But after I try those fixes I still can't install any apps or can't get my app updates? 
    Please to any person's who can help me by giving me  more that 1 fix, because I have tried so many fixes, If you know more that 1 fix tell me how to do your fix step by step so I can understand what you say to do to fix my windows store? 
    Thanks for any and all help?  And if I don't get any help in this section of the forum I will try to put this in a different area, if I don't get any help at this section of the forum I will try to ask this in another part of he forum ok?   
    I really need HELP with this so I can get my laptop working again to install new apps and get the updates to my apps? 

    Fixed the problem by going to settings/store and logging out with apple ID.  Then logged back in with password and updates, apps, and iTunes store seem to work ok now.

  • Getting error message... Need help now..

    I was using my powerbook g3 and all of a sudden i get a message pop up on the screen. It says: you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button.
    I held down the power button for several seconds numerous times and it did nothing.
    Then i pushed control-command-power buttons at same time and the computer restarts, just to the same spot, with the same message.
    I even found the manual restart button on the back and got the same result.
    Please help me. How do i get rid of this message and use my computer again? I have 3 sports pages to get done this weekend. I need my laptop to work.
    I am running os 10.3.9
    there is also a 9.2 os on computer as well.
    Please help!!!!!

    Robert:
    You are likely experiencing what is called a kernel panic. These may be either hardware or software based. To shut down the computer hold down the Power button for about five seconds. You will find more about KPs and troubleshooting information in Dr. Smoke's FAQ Resolving Kernel Panics. If you are able to locate the crash log, please post the last one, as that may be helpful in pinpointing the cause of the issue.
