How do I purchase a prepaid phone to upgrade my existing prepaid account?

Round and round I have gone with in-store, online chat, and live calls to get an answer to this question.  I have an existing prepaid account which I recently upgraded to the 4G LTE prepaid plan.  No problem with them taking my money there.  My present phone is 3G and I want to purchase a 4G (specifically LG Lucid 3), and UPDATE, was just told by prepaid customer dis-service that I need to wait until my present month is almost over or I will forfeit a month's payment.  Isn't that just grand?  I enrolled in auto-pay to take advantage of the extra 500 MB, so I suppose I'll have to drop that and wait.  Anyone else experienced this used car sales tactic?  Thank you Verizon for another 2 hours of my life gone.  Too bad they are the only game in town around here.  Sign me disgusted!

The bottom section (iTunes part) gives instructions. The first few panels discuss backing up the old phone but then it gets into restoring to the new phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

    How do I login to netflix on appletv with an existing netflix account? When I open the netflix app on my 3rd generation appletv the only options it gives are start a free trial or sign out of my existing itunes account. It doesn't give an option to sign in with existing netflix account.

    I have the same question. Why can't you use an existing Netflix account with Apple TV? Cannot figure any way to do this when going to the App icon on the home screen.

    How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
    If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
    Your iCloud Security Code
    The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

  • How to save new contact from phone app to ms outlook work account instead of local contact

    Hi,
    I need some help please.
    I usually save new numbers that call me from the phone app, I just hit "add to contacts".
    I keep all of my contacts on my work microsoft outlook account so they are synced with my work, I have absolutely no local contacts on the phone.
    My Z10 saves these contacts directly as local contacts instead of saving them on my work account.
    However, if I go to the phonebook app, and select add new contact from there, I have the option to select whether it's a personal or a work contact. If I select work contact, it will save it to my work outlook and everything's fine, however when saving from the phone app I don't have this option.
    I don't understand what I'm doing, wrong, please help on how to save to work account directly from phone app.
    Thank you
    Solved!

    Hey bllizzard,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    What version of BlackBerry 10 software are you currently using?  Go to Settings>About to find this information.
    When in the phone application and press and hold a number, choose add to contacts.  Then click Add contact at the bottom, at the very top you'll have a choice to choose Personal or Work.  Choose Work if you want the contact saved to your work email account.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • How do i deactivate my prepaid account

    help?

    I had a VZW prepaid phone and I just stopped paying on it and it self terminated.  I never got anything asking to reactivate it.  Out of sheer morbidity I turned it on the other day after factory resetting it and it was able to successfully activate itself through *228 option 1.  It still gave the old phone number but you couldn't make calls on it.

  • HT5361 How can I add a second email address to my existing email account.  I can't find out how to accomplish that.

    I have an exisitng email address but I need to create a more professional sounding email address for work.  I can't figure out how to do this.  I'm using OS X 10.8.4
    Thanks!

    If you mean you want to add a second email address to the Mac Mail app:
    Open Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click the plus sign and enter the information

  • How can I sync a new desktop computer to an existing sync account, already set up in an android tablet?

    The story is, I had my desktop and android tablet synced, with a significant amount of bookmarks in the desktop PC. Then my desktop hard drive was reformatted and Win XP reinstalled.
    I had not taken note of the recovery key previously (nor backed up the firefox profile), thinking that I would just easily sync the "new" desktop back to the existing account.
    I can see the synced bookmarks in my tablet (but associated to the now nonexistent desktop).
    I just can't find a way of retrieving the sync key or recovery key from the android tablet, to be able to join the "new" desktop to the same account.
    Anyone have any idea of how to do it?
    I've seen references to an add-on that would show the key but it doesn't work with the current firefox version (19)
    An alternative would be to export the bookmarks from the tablet, but I couldn't find how to do it either. The option to export is not there on the android version.
    Thanks in advance!

    I've tried, but it requires me to enter a Recovery Key and I can't find a way to retrieve that from the android tablet.
    Am I missing something?

  • HT201342 How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud addresses?  I currently only use one and I would like to ad two more?

    How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud account?  I curently only use one of the three.

    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud account.  If you want, you can add up to 3 alias addresses that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and photos. Purchased a new phone and went to download phtotos on new phone and only a portion of my photos are back on my new phone. How do I find all my photos and get them on my new phone

    I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

    No one here will help you violate iTunes terms of service or steal music.

  • I recently had to replace my phone. And when I backed it up from the last back up, no all apps or songs that I have purchased on my phone were sinc-d to my computer, how do I get them back

    I recently had to get a new phone due to damage. But when I backed it up from the last back up which was a week ago, it didn't put any apps or songs that I purchased on my phone during the last week. How do I get those back?

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
    Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.
