Help, AT&T iphone3 to VERIZON iphone..?

How can i transfer an old AT&T Iphone 3 to a VERIZON Iphone.. THanks this would help alot as my old phones broke...

In short.. You can't. The iphone 3 is a GSM phone and does not have a CDMA 'bit'. Verizon is a CDMA carrier.
You will need to buy a phone specifically for Verizon as they don't usually let you bring your own device for them.

Help with Straight Talk on old Verizon Iphone 4S Data Apn

So I have had an old Iphone 4s that once worked on Verizon but I had been using it for over a year as just an IPOD basically with a GPS for Golf app and Music etc. I saw posts about this bring your phone to Walmart and go onto Straight Talk for $45 a month for everything. Sounded good so figured I would try. I purchased a micro Sim for Straight Talk that said it was "compatible with T-Mobile" I didn't know what that meant but figured it was Straight talk and it was a Micro Sim which it didn't look like I could get from Walmart. I got the Sim and unlocked my old Verizon Iphone. I was able to get the Phone working, went through many pains to get Web working but at this point I still can't get Apps that need to connect to the internet to work. Has anyone else figured this out? So again I can use the Phone, I can Text so I have MMS, I can surf with Safari and Maps works without Wifi but if I want to use BofA app or Ebay app that has to use data plan It says it cannot connect to the internet or some message saying it times out. Any idea what more I need to get my full IPhone working on Straight Talk. Also even though I'm on Straight Talk up in the left corner it says T-Mobile, is it supposed to? Not new to Apple but definitely new to straight talk and or any other carriers other than verizon (which everything worked for but was too expensive!!). Thanks for anyone that can help.

That means you hacked the phone.

Good luck.

Verizon iphone 5 keeps saying no service, help please!

my aunt gave me her Verizon iphone 5, so i poped in a tmobile pre paid nano sim card and it worked for two days then out of no where it said no service and its been like this for a month. i tried refilling but nothing worked. please help!!!!

You can try and re-set the network settings and see if that helps. If not, you may want to restore it.
If there's a problem with the SIM, you need to take it to T-Mobile. We can't do anything about it. If they verify that the SIM is good, or give you a replacement and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the genius bar and have them look at it.

US Verizon iPhone 4 - visiting Japan help needed to avoid roaming

hi
I've got an original Verizon iPhone 4 running iOS 5 and will be going to Japan. I want to avoid roaming charges but I would like to be able to use my apps on wifi.
After talking to Verizon, it sounds like if I break down and update to iOS 7, then I can put my phone on "Do not Disturb" and I won't get calls or texts, but can use wifi.
Does this sound right? Or should I just plan to turn my phone off before leaving the US and turn it back on only upon my return?
Thanks

No you CAN'T use that AT&T sim card for a Verizon phone.
You have a Verizon iPhone 4, which is a CDMA phone only and does NOT come with a sim card tray. It was the Verizon iPhone 4s and above that came with the sim card tray to be used for international travel only. There is nowhere for you put a sim card in a Verizon iPhone 4, so you can't do that.
If you want to be able to do that and use local sim cards, then you will have to buy a new Verizon phone such as an iPhone 5s that comes with a sim card tray that is unlocked for international use, but you CANNOT use it in a Verizon iPhone 4 because there is no sim card tray.

have verizon iphone 3g; recent upgrade of operating system. suddenly calendar has wiped out all entries and am unable to add new ones.

Please define "tried to add the Image"?
OS Installer Packages do not point to "images". They point to the complete set of source files including the directory structure from the media.
Is there a specific reason you are using OS Installer packages though? In general, there is no reason to use them anymore (unless you are actually still deploying XP).

Verizon iPhone 4 Battery Draining issue (continued)

This is not a question or help topic but more of an announcement. Here's my story:
I preordered the phone on it's February 3rd date and recieved the phone on February 7th. I did as Apple instructs when you get a new idevice (drain the battery down till it dies then recharge it to 100%.) I did that and began to use it, and keep in mind this was not heavy usage at all. I didn't have any app store apps installed at all, I set all settings in the phone to the best configuration for battery saving (truning off push notifications, turning off location services for apps you do not need, no bluetooth, no VPN, brightness at 33%, ect.) Now I thought the battery was strange as I had made my first phone call on 100% battery and it was a 5 minute call. I kid you not I lost 10% battery from one phone call. I thought that was rediculous so I went into my local verizon store and had it replaced. I did the same as I did last time and let the battery drain till it died and filled it to 100%. Tried the phone out and still had the same issue. I went back in and got my 3rd iphone 4. Did the same steps as before and drained then filled it. Yet again, I still had troubles with 3 phones in a row. I cantacted apple and got in contact with an apple engineer named Andrew. He sent me a file that they created that monitors what all is being used by the battery and monitors background processes and applications. I let that run for 24 hours and sent the battery loggin file back to Andrew. They reviewed the log and gave me a call the next day. They told me they did find some very significant battery draining and advised me to go to the nearest apple store ASAP and have the phone checked out. I drove 2 hours to the nearest store for them to just tell me the phone is fine (yotta yotta yotta) and they did a hard reset and restore on the phone (which I could have done from home on my computer and save the gas they made me waste driving for a total of 4 hours!) I tried contacting Andrew agiain but Andrew did not reply to any email sent to him nor return my calls. I got the point that he didn't want to deal with me anymore so I then decided to go the Verizon route. I called Verizon tech support and was transferred to a teir 2 representative. I told her my story, how many replacements I had, and how bad the battery life was. I told how my grandmother has an iphone 4 and I sat down comparing the 2 (battery life wise) and she chewed me out saying things like, "How dare you compare AT&T and Verizon!" I didn't want to listen to her chewing me out so I hung up. The next day I gave apple a call once again and they told me things I had already heard several times so I hung up. I called Verizon back and they said ok let's send you a replacement phone. Well the replacement phone came and wouldn't ya know it? The phone still had the same problem and on top of that they only sent me a phone. No box, no headphones, no USB cable, no charger. I called Verizon about this and asked why they only sent me a phone and they said, "Well you get to keep the phone but we want the other things back. The box, headphones, charger, USB cable, ect." I told them no and that they could have their refurbished phone back. This phone was not even refurbished. the reason I kow that is because it had someone's name written in the phone and it was still on 4.2.5. Had it been refurbished they would have done a fresh restore and update as 4.2.5 was deemed obsolete. That was very insulting in my opinion. So I sent that back and contacted apple one last time. I asked what other options I had as I was stressed and did not want to hear the same things I have already heard. they said they could send me a new phone free of charge and have me send back my current phone. I agreed to give it one last shot but I am still not confident that this phone will be any different.
Now that's my story. Now let me go into a discussion. I have been doing my own litle "investigation on this phone to see what is making this phone drain so bad. I took a look at a report from iFixit.com and they revealed some pretty interesting things built into the Verizon iPhone. I am not going into detail about it but you can google it and see for yourself and read the article about the components. They built the phone with not only CDMA tech but also GSM. Now what purpose would that serve? Honestly? That is a big battery drainer right there. Secondly, they found that the phone contained a different model battery that was lighter and had less capacity than the GSM version of the iPhone 4. That's a second red flag. My mission right now is to get Apple's attention that these phones do indeed have aproblem and they need to be looked at because this just aint workin'. I have had several replacements done (all have the same issue), several thousands of people are reporting the same results with their battery on the web, and Apple chooses to ignore it. Something needs to be done and I encourage any Verizon iPhone user to take action and make this issue known. I have a website with contact information of people who work high up in the chain of Apple along with Scott Forstall's contact info. Go to http://idevicesupport.webs.com/apps/blog/show/6441029-update and find a contact you like and call it and deman that apple investigate these phones. We can get this issue resolved if we make it known. Don't be mean or nasty to them. They are very nice people but at the sametime don't let them talk over you. Make your voice heard. Thanks for listening guys. Take care. - Joe

New Apple ID for Verizon iPhone?

Getting my new Verizon iPhone tomorrow, and trying to decide whether to create an additional Apple ID. I already have an iPad and my wife has an AT&T iPhone, both of which are set up and logged in with our original ID. The new phone will be my work phone, so I'm leaning toward setting up a new ID for it only. Question is, do I lose access to all my previously purchased songs, apps, etc being transferred to my new phone from my iTunes library? A little help would be great. Thanks in advance.

There is no benefit with doing this.
All 3rd party apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the apps with. Getting a new Apple ID or iTunes account will be more trouble than it is worth - whatever you think the worth with a new iTunes account will be. Constantly having to log in and out with each iTunes account with iTunes on your computer, etc.

Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Use on WiFi Bug

If you have been seeing higher cellular data usage while you are on WiFi, good news, Verizon has fixed this bug. All you need to do is update your Carrier Settings to 13.1 and the bug is fixed.
For directions on how to update your Carrier Settings, see:
Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Data Use on WiFi Bug - EVDOinfo.com
Be interesting to see if this fixes the issues for all those having the problem

I have the exact same problem!
I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.

http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

Verizon iPhone - mobile hotspot and other questions about the data options

I just ordered the Verizon iPhone. Can anyone explain the options here:
1) Unlimited corporate email & Web (business and personal email) vs. Unlimited email and web for smartphones (personal email) - what's the difference?
2) "3G Mobile Hotspot 2GB" - does this mean that there's no way I can share my 3G connection via wifi without paying the extra $20/month?? How about tethering to a single computer (USB, BT, or WiFi) - does that also require this extra option?
3) equipment protection - what's the difference between Extended Warranty, Asurion Wireless Phone Protection, and Total Equipment Coverage?
thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi
Regarding your #2 question; yes, you must pay $20/mo to use the 3G Hotspot aspect of the iPhone, same as with any of Verizon's phones that offer this feature such as the Droid X, HTC phones, etc. And, there is NO additional charge to tether it to your computer; it's $20/mo regardless. You can still use the iPhone's WiFi feature to search the web which is part of the regular data plan. We're only talking about paying the $20/mo for the "up to 5 devices" jumping on your phone as a hot spot.
I'm an Apple fan, have my MacBook Pro, but my phone is a Droid X. I've been a Verizon member since a year before they became Verizon. Additionally, I am part of the Verizon & Motorola test forum; testing new software updates as they come along.
Something you should know about Verizon's 3G Hot Spot feature; it has issues. Those of us in the Motorola & HTC forums have experienced identical issues with regard to the 3G Hot Spot feature; it disconnects every 2 minutes, even when you are actively surfing the net. Verizon & Motorola Support have been very helpful to provide what they believe are fixes, including: changing the channel, hard resets, clearing cache, etc. It does not work. Most of us believe, this is NOT a Verizon issue, but a phone maker issue.
I also have Verizon's MiFi 2200. It costs $59/mo and is purely a hot spot device; again up to 5 devices. I use it at home, for my lap top and for those who need connectivity. It outperforms the 3G hot spot feature of the Motorola & HTC phones by leaps & bounds, and I suspect it will out perform the 3G hot spot feature on the iPhone. Additionally, you get 5GB of download with the MiFi which Verizon is planning on offering increases to 8GB & 10GB. There is NO plan to increase the 2GB download limitation on the 3G Hot spot of the iPhone & other phones, and anyone who does basic software downloads & pics, knows 2GBS is not a lot space.
So, I would recommend not paying the $20 until this is resolved. If you do, you could pay $39 more for a total of $59/mo for the MiFi, download the software to you home computer & notebook, and end up canceling your home internet service. I did this and have saved $70/mo in my total utilities.
One other important note: Verizon's VZManager Software for their phones & MiFi. If you did pay the $20/mo for the iPhone and decided to tether to your USB port (for power while using) and you were to use the 3G hot spot feature, it will NOT work on 64 Bit computers, regardless if you are using the WiFi feature or directly using VZManager. The MiFi has this same issue. It will only work on 32 Bit when tethered. So, you'd have to reboot your computer to 32 Bit, if you have that ability. On a Macbook Pro, simply restart holding down the "3" & "2" keys.
I have no idea why Verizon can't simply upgrade the firmware, even recent firmware upgrades have not resolved this. Most new computers are 64 Bit now.
Despite this, I use my MiFi 100% untethered and carry my charge cord in my bag as it also works on my Droid, and I presume they may do the same for the iPhone; reduces the need for multiple power cords.
I really looked forward to the 3G feature of the Motorola & HTC phones, but honestly, it's just not there yet; mine was slower than Dial Up, and I'm not kidding.

What prepaid service can I use my verizon Iphone 5 on

Recently about a month ago there was a commercial on tv that was a no contract Cellphone Carrier that advertised I could take my iPhone5 to their service. Unfortunately through my infinite wisdome I thought I had bookmarked their page and I had not. I was hoping that someone here can help me find their service as I am tired of Verizons BS games like trying to say I was in Canada Mexico and IL all that the same time according to their system. Then their wonderful rep after being told not to changed my data package from 6 gb to 2 gb causing me to go over my data and when I called them to find out why I was over my data I was told I could not go back to the package I had as it was no longer offered as I was getting the 6 gb for 20 bucks a mo and the 2 gb was 20 bucks a mo as well and for me to go back ot it I was looking at 60 bucks. I could swear the company's name started with an A I know its a long shot but they said I could use the verizon Iphone with them and they just had to ship me a new sim card for it and it was good to go. Please help as I need to get my phone working again my mother has cancer and this is the only way I can communicate with her right now is over my phone.

I have a iPhone 5 that I use on Verizon which is CDMA. I can also use that phone on any GSM carrier in the U.S. and abroad. The phone is not locked to Verizon. Even with Verizon I need a Verizon sim. I paid full price for the phone to get an unlocked phone.

Verizon iphone 6 is not working inside with ios 8.3 update

Can't make or receive phone call on my IPhone 6 after iOS8.3 upgrade mostly indoor.
No reception at work after installing iOS8.3, while it was perfect with the previous version with my Verizon IPhone 6. Wi-Fi connection is dropping all the time. Call quality is poor or none available inside the building. This is really frustrating. Apple please fix this dumb phone with iOS8.3 update while it was smart phone with the previous version of the iOS8.1 and 8.2.
Someone or Apple Support! Please help.

Have you checked with Verizon? Have you checked for a Verizon carrier update (go to Settings/General/About, and if there is one it will be installed).

How do I get iMessage/Facetime to work on my old Verizon iPhone 4?

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5s and I'm keeping my iPhone 4 for music and other things. One of those things would be iMessage. Except iMessage keeps saying it's "Waiting for activation...' with no end.
I recently had the same problem with an AT&T iPhone 4s that belonged to a friend, which I was easily able to fix by simply removing the sim card. The problem is the Verizon iPhone 4 doesn't have a sim card to remove. I've tried signing out of iMessage and FaceTime, as well as retoring the phone several times.
The two images show where I believe the problem lies. This phone still somehow thinks that number belongs to it, and so it appears in the Phone settings and Messages>Send & Receive settings as an unchecked, light grey setting. Light grey, I believe, means a setting you cannot edit.
In the case of the AT&T iPhone, the same exact problem existed, but as soon as the sim card was removed, the Phone setting was unavailable and in the Messages>Send & Receive settings it reappeared as a black option with the additional option to start a new conversation with the same number.
My question is, since the Verizon iPhone 4 doesn't have a removable sim card, how do I remove or disassociate the number it was once associated with?
Just to clarify, in both cases (Verizon, AT&T), the same numbers were used after upgrading to the newer iPhone.
I tried to make as much sense as possible to this madness. Please if anyone has any suggestions or answers, help me. I thank you in advance.

How to unlock my verizon iPhone (contract over) to use it with straight talk?

My contract with Verizon has expired I would like to use mi iPhone with straight talk some people told me that I have to unlock my phone…please help me with real solutions!!!

You can't. The Verizon iPhone 4S can not be used with any US carrier other than Verizon. If you want to use StraightTalk, sell the Verizon phone and buy a StraightTalk iPhone. They are a supported CDMA carrier. Neither StraightTalk, nor Apple support using an unlocked phone on Straight Talk.

Help, AT&T iphone3 to VERIZON iphone..?
