Giving a phone to another family member who is also a verizon customer

When  you give a family member your old phone and they activate it under their number does it it wipe out all your contact info, photos, and messages?

However, if it's a Motorola Droid type phone, usually- yes. Most Motorola smartphones will wipe out everything.

    How do you reactivate this phone Verizon Droid Maxx in another family member name after the original owner now deceased

    To switch it to another number, you need to activate another phone on the number you no longer need (or have Verizon cancel it for the deceased member).  Once that line is no longer active, you can activate the phone on another number - have Verizon CS at a store help you, or follow the steps on verizonwireless.com from the account of the person you do want it to be activated for.

  • Just got a new iPad. How do I move my Game Center games?  I keep getting another family member's account because we share our Apple ID.

    Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod?  My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
    Family member's Game Center on my iPad!

    Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
    On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email.

  • Canceled Service, and now I want to give my phone to a family member to start service

    Found a spot on the website to do it but it says it's pending. Called Customer Service and it won't let me do anything.  I still owe a past due balance I will pay when I get paid next week but I would like to give my phone to a family member now

    Until your account/line is paid in full, the phone that is associated with that number will be unavailable to be used on any other line.  What MIGHT work (and I don't know if it will or not) is to activate another phone on your line (any Verizon contract phone not active on another line, if you happen to have an older unused one.)  Then the deactivated one you want to give to your family member will no longer be activated or associated with your number.
    This may or may not work, due to the fact there is a past due balance on the account and you have also cancelled the line - you may not be able to activate a different phone in this circumstance, so the current phone will not be "released" until the account is settled.

  • When I try to set up family sharing I get "This account is already shared by another family member. Family sharing works best if every family member uses their own account." how do I reset?  I can't find where it is being used.

    Hi jmeckoll1,
    It sounds as if you are trying to set up family sharing starting with an Apple ID which someone has already used to start a family group. Presumably this person is within the family group you want to share with. One solution to this issue would be to ask to join this family group. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Join a family
    If this is not the desired result, you will need to set up your own family group using an unused Apple ID that is in use for iCloud. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

    If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
    One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

  • If I want to add a family member who is not in my household and has their own itunes account and credit info...

    If I want to add a family member who is not in my household and has their own itunes account and credit info...will all their purchases be charged to my credit card as the Organizer?

    Hi mbostick, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The only way a family member can use their own funds and not the Organizer’s account for purchases would be with store credit, such as an iTunes gift card. 
    Family purchases and payments
    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

    You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
    Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

  • Can Iphone 4 activity (including internet activity - facebook messages) be monitored by someone if they had access to your phone (like a family member)?  How can you check?

    I am wonderimng just how safe the iphone 4 is - if someone has access to your phone (say a family member) can they put sometrhing on ur iphone (that isn't jail broken) that tracks your activity - particularly things like messages in facebook (by using the messenger app that you can down load from the app store)?  If so is there anyway to tell if it's been done?  Everything I read seems to indicate that its not possible to install spyware on an iphone - but strange things happen - including slow response and being logged out of online accounts (ie facebook messenger).  I know that one solution would be to restore to factory defaults but when you do this is it ok to restore your phone from back up or should it be rstored like a new phone (especially if the itunes account is a shared account)?
    I keep thinking I am just being paranoid but it would be good to get some up to date advice about this.

    That's the great thing with ios is it uses a sandbox file system. So installing spyware confines it to its sandbox so it cannot access other file or track anything. Unless you jailbreak at that point there is no more sandbox.

  • HT4436 how do i setup a new email address/account for another family member in icloud

    how do i setup a new email address/account for another family member in icloud?

    They will need to get their own Apple ID - go to http://appleid.apple.com to set up a new one. You will need a different non-Apple email address from any already in use.
    Then they will need a separate user account on the Mac, or their own computer. You can then set up the account and add an @icloud.com email address in System Preferences>iCloud.
    Although you could set up an alias address on your own account, I should advise against this - once created you cannot detach an alias from the account so they wouldn't be able to move it to their own account at a later date and their email would be inextricably linked with yours.

  • When I call someone who is also on Verizon it says, "All circuits busy" what does that mean?

    When I call someone who is also on Verizon it says, "All circuits busy" what does that mean?

        Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm sorry you had problems contacting your friends/family.
    There are normally a couple of reasons you would hear that particular message.
    1.If the announcement is received when calling one specific number the issue is with that device's service provider. They would need to contact their provider and do an investigation.
    2. If the announcement is received when ANY number is called the issue is with the Verizon Wireless network. At that time, we we need to open a remedy ticket (which reports it to our engineers to investigate further).

  • Upgrade eligibility extended after old device transfer to another family member

    In July 2013, I transferred an almost 2 year old device from one family member to another(a son). The eligibility for upgrade at a discount on his account line was then extended by a year following the old device transfer to his account line even though the device was not new, to him or to our account.  I do not understand how or why this happened.  I also don't know if I am asking this question in the correct place to get a response and corrective action from Verizon Wireless.  The link to email customer support on the My Verizon login site has apparently been removed.  Thank you for any assistance or help you may provide.

        You've come to the right place, MMBrown26. I'm confident that I can help you. I will need to take a look at your account. Please follow me (ChaunceyM_VZW) and send me Direct Message. If you include your wireless number, I will review your account and contact you. Thanks in advance.
