How do I deactivate my phone?

I have a basic phone for me and an iPhone 4S for my daughter on the same plan. It is just too expensive to afford anymore, and I don't really use my phone, so I want to cut it off, but keep hers on.
My contract does not end until May 30, 2013.
How do I deactivate my phone, and how much will it cost? Can I do it online?
Thank you.

I did not see a terminate service option in My Verizon, but maybe it's buried in there somewhere. Or call customer service and someone will take care of this for you.
You have to call customer service in order to cancel a line of service.  You cannot do it online, so there is no option "buried" on the website, it's just not there.

  • HT201407 hOW DO i DEACTIVATE MY PHONE

    I have a iPhone I bought a new phone and I can not deactivate the old phone so the new one can recieve texts. Anyone have a clue on how to do this?

    Call your Carrier.  You need to transfer sertvice from the previous Phone to the new one.  If they are the same model iPhone and are not CDMA phones you can simply move the sim card from the old one to the new one.
    If they are not, you'll need to contact your carrier to have them activate a sim card for your new Phone.
    If the new phone is not an iPhone, then you need to deactivate iMessages in your old iPhone so your new non iPhone phone can recieve messages from iPhone users.

  • How do i deactivate a phone and activate another one?

    by phone. not in the computer

    you can go above to your account  under My Verizon .. there is a link to activate a device and to remove the old.. make sure you watch the steps so that you do not end up with it showing you added an additional instead of replacing.. or you can call directly in.. you also may use the chat feature under the contact link above
    hope that helps

  • How to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account

    Please help how to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account?

    Hello Kirstyspencer
    I would sign out of your Apple ID on those devices and also change the password to your Apple ID. That should stop people from accessing and using your Apple ID.

  • I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

    Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
    Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

    First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
    Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

  • How to deactivate a phone

    my friend gave me a phone and said that it was deactivated but i can make calls on the phone and i wanted to know how to deactivated it so that i can get it activated with a new number. how do you deactivate it.  

    If this was your friends personal phone, have them call in, cancel service, and PAY THE BILL. You can not activate it as your own until then.
    If this 'friend'  gave you a stolen phone, return that bad boy as all that can come from that is trouble for you. If stolen, once shut off you will never be able to activate it.

  • TA38607 how do i deactivate call waiting while i could not find the call waiting in the Phone folder

    how do i deactivate call waiting while i could not find the call waiting in the Phone folder

    If you have a CDMA phone, there is no way to deactivate Call Waiting from the phone. You'll need to contact your carrier.

  • How to deactivate the phone?

    I want to give my iPhone to a relative. I would like to leave it relatively untouched, and just deactivate the phone so she can activate it for herself. How can I do this?
    If it can't be done with just the phone part, how can I reset the phone to original and keep it with the 1.1.4 software?

    Just pull your SIM card out. She just need to get a new SIM card to open a new account for herself. You can do a restore if you want to wipe it clean.

    How do i deactivate a device through icloud if the device is broken and i am unable to turn on find my iphone? Also i do not own a apple id as ive been using a family members due to problems when trying to make one?

    Hey tyjox,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to deactivate Find My iPhone on a device that does not work. You will need to work with the family member of the account the iPhone is registered with. I would recommend that you use this article to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    Remove an iOS device you no longer have
    If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
    Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices, then select the device.
    Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
    When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • If I lost my mobile, how can I deactivate firefox sync on it... without it?

    I have Firefox Sync running on my laptop, my desktop and on my smartphone too. If someone stole my phone... how can I stop Firefox Sync only on that device, from my laptop or desktop? I only know how to disable firefox sync on the device I want to disable. But if the device is not with me anymore... What should I do? If I stop using Firefox Sync on my desktop, my laptop will not sync anymore..

    You'll need to change your Sync password and then reconnect things using the new password. For more detail, read here:

  • How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed?

    How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed? I told my husband I had to get it off the third computer but he trying to help me did not deactivate it before he  un-installed it!!!!
    Now what? I am only using this on 2 computers and I'm told I am using it on a 3rd and I'm not.
    How can I fix this?
    It wont work on the 3rd one anyway because its so old and limited it crashes every time I try. But I need this on my 2 good computers.

    One way could be to reinstall it on the third computer and then deactivate it and uninstall it.
    If that doesn't work out or if you'd rather try this route it should work... contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone and they should be able to help.  Chat is usually 24/7

  • How to mail back Travel Phones

    I used Verizon's Global Travel Service recently while in Europe and somehow over the 2 weeks that i was there the instructions that came with the phone describing how to Activate/Deactivate were misplaced or thrown away. By calling the support line i managed to get my old phone reactivated but i still need to ship the travel phone back. Does anyone know to where it needs to be sent/ in what box etc.?
    Alternatively, if anyone has a PDF or something of the instructions that came with it that would work just as well, they arent anywhere on the site.

    I think you'll need to contact Verizon's Global Services via phone to arrange for shipping the device back.  Verizon will probably issue you a return label.  You should keep a copy of the tracking number so that you can verify when it is delivered to the Verizon warehouse.  You can find the Global Services number under the "Contact Us" link.

  • How do I deactivate a license on a dead computer?

    My computer motherboard is bad. How do I deactivate my photoshop License on this computer?

    You can't deactivate without running the program.  Your options are:
    Fit your hard drive to another computer, disconnect all other drives, and run it in Safe mode (because all the drivers will be wrong).  You might be able to open Photoshop to deactivate it (depending on what the screen resolution is in Safe Mode.
    Phone customer support. Explain your problem, and ask them to reset Activations.

  • How do I deactivate DreamWeaver when the hard drive died?

    How do I deactivate DreamWeaver when the hard drive died?  It will not reinstall on the new PC because it wants the old one deactivated, which is impossible.  There is no way I can deactivate it and I have a legitimate copy.  I had it on one PC that died, so I bought a new PC and put it on that.  A few days later I had to return the new one because of problems with the PC.  They give me a replacement which seems to be working OK, only now Adobe thinks I have DreamWeaver all over the place.  I don't have it anywhere.  All I want to do is put my legitimate copy on my new PC.  HELP!!!

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.  They can take care of the deactivation for the lost drive.  Chat operates 24/7.
