Getting "Transfer Upgrade" To Stick?

Hi,
There are currently three phone's on my family's Family Plan. My Mom's, an LG Octane, My Brother's, an EnV3, and mine, a Droid X.
Currently, my brother is eligible for an upgrade, but he has decided that I may use the upgrade to get the iPhone 4S with, and he will get my Droid X. I am eligible for one in May.
I go to the "upgrade devices" page on the My Verizon page, and transfer the upgrade to my account, it changes, and I am eleigible for an upgrade now, and he in May. But the upgrade does not "stick". Unless I go right through and upgrade then and there, the upgrade goes back to him. That would be fine, except the only way to preorder the iPhone 4S on Friday will be on Apple's website, so I need the upgrade to stay with my number.
Is there any way for me to permanently transfer the upgrade, so that his will be in May and mine available now? Thanks for the help!

The upgrade is still going to be used for a Verizon phone, just through the Apple website. If I check on Apple's site if HE is eligible for an iPhone 4S at the proper price, he is. If I check MY number, I am not, because he is the one with the upgrade. I just need to know how to get the upgrade transfer to "stick" to my account, and not just one time (right when I want to upgrade).
let me rephrase
you cant use a transfer upgrade to upgrade through anyone other then verizon
this also was not allowed for the iphone 4 pre-order, but was a short time after the launch
Ah, okay. So there's no possible way I could get an iPhone 4S at launch?
im not saying none, but its slim chance
you could always do it on his line
activate it there
then activate the droid there
then reactivate the iphone on yours
but this could voids the warranty with vzw, maybe not since its on the same plan
but if you order on his and forget to activate it there first you get charged an etf
go back and look through posts from the iphone 4 launch, lotsa creativity there

Why would you set up a new account?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac?

Transfer Upgrades and Annual Upgrades

Hi Community,
I have a few questions regarding transferring upgrades and annual upgrades. First off, here's what the FAQ says:
What do I have to do to get a new phone with Annual Upgrade?
You must be registered for My Verizon, be on a calling plan of $49.99 or higher and have completed at least 1 year of a 2-year contract and agree to renew for an additional 2 years in order to get a new phone at a promotional price. It’s as easy as that.
Is this replacing New Every Two?
No, Verizon Wireless is providing an additional program to upgrade your phone. By taking advantage of the Annual Upgrade, however, your New Every Two calendar will restart.
I currently have a Moto Droid (secondary line on a family plan) which I purchased in November of 2009 on an Annual Upgrade. I resigned a 2 yr contract for the line (ending 11/2011) and paid the promotional price for the phone. I was actually only 11.5 months into the contract but I think they let me slide Anyway, I'm assuming my line should be eligible for another Annual Upgrade in November of this year? I'm sort of confused because this line now has a different contract ending date than the primary line (how is that possible on a family plan, by the way?)
The primarly line on my account is currently eligible for a NE2 upgrade (contract ends 12/10/2010). Is it possible to transfer the NE2 upgrade to the secondary line, and still have the primary line be eligible for an Annual Upgrade? How would transferring an NE2 upgrade affect the next upgrade eligibility for this line? What would happen if the NE2 contract was transferred to the secondary line, and then we did not renew the contract for the primary line in December (again, I do not understand how this whole same-plan-different-contract-end-dates thing works)?
Also, if the NE2 upgrade is transferred from the primary to the secondary line, would I then be forfeiting any Annual Upgrade the secondary line might be eligible for in November? Finally, is it possible to transfer an Annual Upgrade like you can with NE2?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a bit confused, but let me try and answer your questions as far as I understand them....

I currently have a Moto Droid (secondary line on a family plan) which I purchased in November of 2009 on an Annual Upgrade. My confusion begins here, because secondary lines do not get annual upgrades - your plan has to be $49.99 or higher and secondary lines are $9.99. I resigned a 2 yr contract for the line (ending 11/2011) and paid the promotional price for the phone. I was actually only 11.5 months into the contract but I think they let me slide Anyway, I'm assuming my line should be eligible for another Annual Upgrade in November of this year? NO - secondary lines do not get annual upgrades... I'm sort of confused because this line now has a different contract ending date than the primary line (how is that possible on a family plan, by the way?) Each line on a family plan has it's own contract, and can have different end dates. If you used the primary line's annual upgrade for the Droid in November of 2009 (which you almost HAD to have done), then the primary line's contract would end November 2011. The contract for your line is likely what it was before - since you haven't used an upgrade (if I'm reading this right).
The primarly line on my account is currently eligible for a NE2 upgrade (contract ends 12/10/2010). So it looks like they DID somehow use the annual upgrade for you to get the Droid and applied it to your line?? This IS confusing!! Is it possible to transfer the NE2 upgrade to the secondary line, and still have the primary line be eligible for an Annual Upgrade? No - if you use the NE2 you wil extend the primary line's contract for two more years - it will be one year before it is eligible for the annual upgrade again. How would transferring an NE2 upgrade affect the next upgrade eligibility for this line? It would "use" the upgrade; the contract would be extended 2 years for that line, and on voice plans of $49.99 or higher it will be eligible for an annual upgrade. What would happen if the NE2 contract was transferred to the secondary line, and then we did not renew the contract for the primary line in December (again, I do not understand how this whole same-plan-different-contract-end-dates thing works)? The secondary line that used the NE2 would still have it's original contract end date - THAT upgrade discount can be used to get a phone for the primary line.
Also, if the NE2 upgrade is transferred from the primary to the secondary line, would I then be forfeiting any Annual Upgrade the secondary line might be eligible for in November? Finally, is it possible to transfer an Annual Upgrade like you can with NE2?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Your questions and answering each one individually is getting more and more convoluted, so let me just try and give you a better understanding of family plans, and contracts, and upgrade options.
First, understand that each line on a family plan has it's own contract - they can have different start dates, and different ending dates, and different upgrade eligibilities.
You can do alternate upgrades - one line is eligible to upgrade, but the phone is used on another line. Very commonly done, but can add to the confusion! The contract and eligibility is tied to the line, but you can use any (Verizon/compatible) phone on that line that you want. You can swap phones without affecting the contract at all.
The primary line on a family plan with a voice plan of $49.99 or higher can upgrade annually, sign a 2 year contract and get the 2 yr discount price, and forfeit the additional NE2 credit; it will be available 20 months into the two year contract. If the primary does another annual upgrade, the NE2 is again forfeited until 20 months later. The only way to use the additional NE2 credit is for the primary to wait to use the upgrade option at the 20 month point, rather than using the annual upgrade.
Secondary lines are eligible to upgrade at the 2 yr discounted pricing 20 months into the contract (4 months before the contract end date).
We have a family plan with 5 lines, varying contract end dates. Two lines are currently eligible to upgrade; my son's line is eligible, but he has a new phone that he got using my husband's upgrade. So hubby's line shows he's not eligible, but yet his phone is older and may need to be replaced soon. He'll just use the son's upgrade. Basically, we wait till someone NEEDS a new phone, and look to see which line(s) is/are eligible. Sometimes it's the line that needs it, sometimes it's not.
Log into MyVerizon as the primary account holder, click on UPGRADE - and you'll see all the lines and when their contract ends and who/which is eligible for upgrade.

Is there an app upgrade for stickies 7.0

No.
You need to upgrade the OS to get a more modern version of Stickies. 10.9 includes version 10.

Transfer upgrade (sorry - again)

I have a secondary line that is up for upgrade. if i transfer the upgrade to the primary line do i get to use the new every 2 pricing for this upgrade. the secondary line upgrade jsut gets the 'ne cusotmer' pricing - the new every two for the primary gets and additonal $100 off. so if I transfer to the primary to I get $100 off even though the primary is not the one that is up?

When you transfer an upgrade, the line whose upgrade you took is the one that gets the contract extension. You cannot use your NE2 discount with any line but the primary. I'm not even completely sure that you can use it if you transfer the primary line's upgrade to another line. So, no, if you transfer upgrades from the secondary line, you will not be able to use your NE2 discount

Got 5 on basic phone eligible upgrade could not transfer upgrade

Would not let me transfer upgrade. Upgraded on eligible basic line at discount keeping old plan. Now I will need to switch lines when phone comesto my line replacing my 4S which goes to my wife.

My current situation is:
Line 1 - smart phone with unlimited data -> eligible for upgrade
Line 2 - smart phone with unlimited data -> eligible for upgrade
Line 3 - dumb phones -> not eligible for upgrade (out-of-state with relatives)
Line 4 - dumb phones -> not eligible for upgrade (out-of-state with relatives)
Line 5 - dumb phones -> not eligible for upgrade (out-of-state with relatives)
I was wondering if the following scenario is possible:
1. Transfer Line 1 upgrade to Line 3
2. Order iPhone 5 with Line 3 by adding 2GB data
3. Activate the iPhone 5 upon arrival on Line 1 via online VZ account or phone with CSR (since I don't have access to Line 3 physically)
4. Remove 2GB data from line 3 (is this even needed since I am not activating iPhone 5 on Line 3. Theoretically, data should not be added to Line 3 as it's still a dumb phone)
5. Contract is renewed on Line 3 for 2 yrs
6. I keep my unlimited data on Line 1
Anyone had success with this scenario? If it's possible then I can repeat it with Line 2 and Line 5.
I got conflicting responses. Some folks are saying the dumb phone also needs to have an upgrade available.
You are PARTIALLY correct. If you do a alternate upgrade, it is going to extend the contract on line one, not line 3. you will have to activate the phone first on line 3 in order not to be charged back the full retail cost of the new device. You can move the phone to line 1, but I would not be surprised if the system catches this and makes you choose a tiered data plan given the fact that line 1 has a new contract. The only way you will TRULY know, is by doing it. Speculation can be unreliable. The things people try to do to get around new policies.....

Can I transfer upgrade from non-smart phone to smartphone

We have a family plan. With 1 smartphone and 1 non-smartphone.
non-Smartphone is eligible for new discounted phone now.
Smartphone is eligible for discounted phone in January-2013.
Can I transfer the credit from non-smartphone to smartphone and get a new smartphone?
And then in January get another smartphone with he original credit?
Can I do this without any changes to my monthly fees? And continue with 1 smartphone and one non-smart phone on my plan?

Yes you can, there is a loophole to the system. Here's what you want to do. First, upgrade the basic phone to whatever smart phone you want, if it's a 4g phone you want to order 2 SIM cards, because the one that's sent with the basic number will be stuck to that number, so when you switch back the basic phone, with the original monthly charge, then you can keep unlimited data if you have it, AND have the smartphone to replace the smartphone! (Keep in mind you will extend the basic phone's contract by an additional 2 years if you do this) By the way, the reason you want to do this way instead of an alternate upgrade, AKA "transfer upgrade", is because you will lose unlimited data that way. There are three ways you can keep it. One, buy a Certified Pre-owned Device from Verizon, two, buy a phone at full-retail price, and three, buy a used phone from some other retailer or user (aka craigslist or ebay). This option falls under the "other retailer or user" because the other number "used" the phone. Good luck!

Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

I have multiple lines for family members on my account. Can I still transfer upgrades between lines? I don't see the option any more.

More everything. I have one line coming up on the 19th of this month and I'd like to transfer to another user with a later upgrade date. Just not seeing the option anywhere.

Transfer Upgrade - Keeping Unlimited Data Plan

We have a family plan with 5 devices. Two of the lines have unlimited data, one has the $30/2gb plan, and two are basic phones. We have several upgrades available since the basic phones haven't been upgraded regularly.
The person with the $30/2gb plan recently upgraded to an Iphone 4S in April, but now she has her eye set on the Iphone 5 when it comes out.
If she upgrades to the Iphone 5 in October, can I use her old Iphone 4S and keep my Unlimited plan?
(I wouldn't technically be upgrading my line. Only her line would be an upgrade. I would just be using the "discarded" phone. I have switched back and forth between my current phone and my old phone before without issue when I left my current phone at work. However, I am just worried there might be some footnote in the new plans that says you can't do this.)

I was informed by Verizon Customer Service that, after June 28, Transfer Upgrades of a subsidized phone to a line with the Unlimited Feature would automatically result in the loss of that Unlimited Feature. What remains a gray area to me is if the subsidized phone was purchased prior to June 28 and then subsequently transferred to the Unlimited Line. Verizon is tracking all subsidized phone purchases from their store, so it seems there may be a risk unless Verizon is also factoring in the date of subsidized purchase (pre- or post- June 28). Time will tell for sure.
WOW, that is a new one... I am going to have to check this out with the couple of Verizon people I know. This would be very interesting to know if it is true..

HT1338 I have an HP Printer/scanner, and since upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer scan on my HP. HP tells me that I can get an upgrade app from 'Apple Software Upgrade' . Does anyone know how to do this?

HP couldn't find its own apps with both hands and a flashlight.
As of Lion all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X. You can scan three ways:
Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
Use Image Capture
(Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your HP and use the Scan tab.
If you have HP's "Image Zone" software installed, you no longer need it and it no longer works anyway.

I purchase my iphone 3gs from online deal, can I get the upgraded one

Hi,
I purchase my iphone 3gs from snapdeal portal, my query is can I get the upgrade of the same to iphone 4?
I am having invoice of purchase iphone 3gs, Please let me know if I can directly go to apple gallery to get the upgraded one?
Thanks
Rakesh

He has just given you your answer - 'Snapdeal is not an authorised Apple seller' so no you can't.
Also, how on earth do you expect him to help you get an upgrade? This is a user forum.
The only way that you can upgrade is through your phone company/carrier and that is if you are elegible and you will have to pay.
If you don't have a contract with carrier and you want an iPhone 5, then you'll have to go out and buy one like everyone else.

Why do we get an upgrade every 2 years? Why not every year?

I do not understand why we only get to upgrade every TWO years?!! I don't know if there is a phone on the planet that will honestly last for TWO WHOLE YEARS, unless it is not being used.. AT ALL!! We pay $160 a month, which totals up to $1,920 a YEAR, and VERIZON wants to tell me, I will have to pay FULL price for another phone before TWO years is up?!?!?!!! For starters, we have the HTC Thunderbolt.. It worked fine for the first year, but now, it cuts itself on and off, my husbands phone randomly calls people, and he has NEVER used any kind of headset in his phone, but it has headphones at the top of the screen, so he has to talk on speakerphone, my internet doesn't work half of the time, I can't even restart my phone, because when I do, it tells me it has to be activated.. SERIOUSLY VERIZON!!! When our contract is up, we are out of here!! We have CALLED verizon, we have CHATTED with verizon, we have even WENT to verizon, and NOBODY can help us!! NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON!!!! And I will tell everyone I know about the CRAPPY customer service we have gotten as well!!!

Why not every 6 months.
My phone normally lasts 2 years. My wife's phone normally lasts 2 years and her current one is now going on 29 months. The phones for my 2 teenage daughters normally last 2 years.
All of these phones get normal usage and my wife's phone gets above normal usage as she uses the lions share(between 1400 and 2000 minutes) of our minutes in any given month.
As a family, we use anywhere from 1000-3000 texts in any given month and I am surfing quite regularly on my phone. Phones CAN last 2 years. Out of the 20 or so phones I have had on my account over the past 20+ years, only 1 did not last and that was because it ended up underneath me when falling on the ice.
