How do I retain my old number? After my new phone has arrived?

Hi Can some one please inform me how to retain my old mobile number after I have received my new phone?  I have had my number since 1992 & do not wish to change it. Thanks  Kathy

Assuming you recuested an upgrade you will receive new phone and a NEW sim. You would need to power off your old phone and insert new sim into your new phone then LEAVE your phone connected for a minimum of 4 hours. Please note that the activation of the SIM might take up to 24 hours. As soon your sim is activated you can use your previous/old number.

  • IMessage on iPad is coming from email not number after getting new phone

    Since getting a new iPhone my iPad is not showing a phone number I can send a iMessage from only an email, how can I sync it back up to my phone or add in a phone number

    It may be possible if you have an iPhone with an iPhone number and then are able to add that in your iPad.
    But I don't see how.
    For the rest of us without an iPhone, it doesn't appear to be possible to put a regular phone number in our iPads.
    It will not let me add a phone number of any kind.
    iOS 7, new iPad Mini and iPad 3rd generation. Not possible.
    Do you have any screen shots from your iPad with a phone number in it ?
    That would help.

  • How do I install my old apps on my new phone?

    I had to restore my iPhone 5, and I deleted all content and settings. I sat it up as a new iPhone. When I plugged into iTunes it only had ~5 of my ~70 apps that I've downloaded over time. I logged into the iTunes store and can see all of my past app purchases, but when I click the little iCloud "download" button, it says it's downloading the app to my MacBook. I can't figure out how to then, first of all, find the app on my Mac, and secondly I dunno how to put it on my phone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm operating with iOS 6.0.2, iTunes 11.0.2, and a MacBook Pro 10,2.
    Thank you!!

    Click here and see the section of the article which explains how to do it on iOS devices.

  • I just got a new phone and I'm trying to put my music on it and iTunes keeps prompting me to authorize my computer first how do I sync my old music to my new phone- not the music I purchased but all my other music

    I have the new 5s and I'm trying to get ALL my music on it but it keeps prompting me to authorize my computer. (which I have done multiple times) I have all my purchased music on the phone already but it won't let me sync all my other music that I have on my iTunes.

    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • Think I backed up phone to old one so now new phone has all old contacts and messages

    Tried to back up phone and somehow backed new one to old info...what do i do

    Hi KCC03446,
    Hook you phone up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and select the phone under Devices in the sidebar or at the top right of the iTunes screen. On the Device Profile screens, click on the Photos tab and uncheck the Sync Photos box, then sync. This should remove everything except the Camera Roll and Photo Stream from your phone.
    Then, if you want to put selected photos on, select the ones you want and then sync again.
    Cheers,

  • How can i retain the trailing zeroes after decimal

    how can i retain the trailling zeros after decimal?
    values are showing in table like( 4.50,5.00) but i am trying to do some processing with these values then ithe zeroes are truncated like (4.5,5),
    how can i get values with zeroes

    If the values in the table have trailing zeroes, it's a character type column.
    Once you perform operations on them, they're implicitely converted to the number type, hence "losing" trailing zeroes.
    To get the trailing zeroes back, you have to convert them back to character data:
    TO_CHAR(1.5*3, '90d99')Have fun,
    K.

  • How to keep your old number with a new iPhone

    I find this confusing.
    I have an iPhone 4 with an AT&T contract.
    I am eligible for an upgrade and have ordered an iPhone 5 from Apple.
    What steps do I have to take to keep my old telephone number on the new iPhone 5?
    I believe this answer from AT&T is nonsense:
    Upon reviewing your account I have found the following information. In
    order for you to utilize the iPhone 5 on your current phone number, you
    must return the iPhone 4 you recently purchased. You will be charged the
    restocking fee for the return. You must return it with the original
    packaging to the location from which the device was purchased. I show
    that you purchased the device at an Apple store.
    They can also assist you with preordering an iPhone 5. Once they have
    processed your return of the iPhone 4, it should allow them to pre-order
    your iPhone 5.
    Can anyone _please_ tell me how I go about keeping my old number when the new iPhone arrives?
    Many thanks.

    you should never have to return the product once you bought and are under contract.  At no point can they make you return it. 
    As far as the iPhone 5 is concerned, just like Brad said, activate it through itunes and if a problem arises just call att.

  • How can I restore my old photos after a recovery if not backed up through itunes or icloud

    Here's the story. I dropped my phone in a swimming pool. It did not start at first. I layed the phone in a bag of uncooked rice and after 5 days it seemed like it was going to startup again. However something was wrong with teh battery so we ordered a new battery. The phone started up with the new battery but it wanted to go into that recovery mode. I did go through the backup procedure in iTunes and then recovery. The phone is now starting up fine but it is blank from apps and photos like a new phone. I did not have any photos backed up over iCloud before this happened. However shouldn't the photos still be on teh memory card of the phone? I thought the recovery process just resets the phone to factory standard, not deleting my photos. How can I get my old photos out of the phone? They are not in the DCIM when I log on through Windows explorer as well.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • Why do some of my friends see me under my new iPhone number still when I kept my old number from my other phone?

    I recently got an iPhone 5, and wanted to keep my old number from my HTC Wildfire S, so I had a tech person at the T-Mobile store (my service carrier ist-mobile) configure that for me. Under general settings, it lists my old number as the number for my new phone, but some of my friends see me as the iPhone number that was equipped with my iPhone. I've deduced that it might just be other iPhone users having this issue because my friends with other phones, like the Galaxy S for example, still see my as my old number and know its me. What could be causing this issue? And how can I alleviate it? Any help is appreciated!

    Oh and I have checked that my iMessage is sending and receiving as my old number and it is.

    how to transfer CS6 from old macbook pro to new one?
    many thanks - is it something to do with deactivation?
    How long does it take for the whole process?

    do not transfer.  install all adobe products (including cs6) using their installer.
    the whole process depends on a number of factors, but generally takes more than 10 minutes and less than 2 hours.  the biggest factor is your download speed if you need to download the installation file(s).
    Downloads available:
    Suite:  CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
    Acrobat:  XI, X | 9,8

  • HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch

    how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?

    The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time.  Your Apple ID and password does not matter.  (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
    So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced.  You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
    You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library.  After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library.
