How long to activate new phone?
I have been on a family plan (contract is expired, it's month to month) with two devices and recently upgraded one of them to a smartphone. Of course I had to agree to a new contract to get the phone, which arrived today. I'm wondering within what time frame do I have to activate the new phone? I'd like to wait until the 14th of next month because that's when my billing period ends and I don't want to be paying for two plans at once. Do they still give you 30 days from the ship date to activate? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
i would REALLY look into seeing if you can still switch back to your old plan. you could have just added a 2 gig data plan to your old plan for the extra $30/month (so your bill would go from $85 to $115). they lead you to believe that you have to switch to a "share everything" plan, but you don't. i am, however, assuming you did this directly through verizon, and not a 3rd party retailer (they have no options besides share everything). i think you may be being charged $15/month more than you need to. with share everything it should be $30 for basic phone plus $40 for smartphone plus $60 for 2 gigs of data ($130). if you had just upgraded and kept your old plan, but chose an individual data plan of 2 gigs for $30/month, then it should just add $30 to your monthly bill. you need to find out if they put you on "share everything" or just added a $30 data plan to your old family share plan.
either way, everything should be prorated. but i would go in and talk to someone and have them set it up for you and be VERY clear that you want your old plan and that you simply want to add the INDIVIDUAL data plan for $30/month. there is not $30 data plan on the share everything plans. they start at $40 for 250mb and $50 for ONE gig.

How long does a new phone line take to fit? Patien...
I ordered a new phone line in April and was given a date of 1st May 2013 for the engineer to call.
Having booked a day off work for the 1st May I got a text the evening before to advise that extra work was required on the lines outside my home and that they would be in touch soon. On 17th May I got another text to advise that my order for telephone and broadband had been CANCELLED. I phoned and a new order was placed (with a half-hearted apologies for the incorrect cancellation).
Text: 20th May. Apologies for the delay in booking an appointment.
Text 21st May: BT here. Your phone service is ready for you. You can find a phone's number by calling 17070 from it.
I did not not have a phione line.
Text: 30th May. To advise a new number.
Text: 30th May: Apologies for the delay in booking an appointment. Due to necessary additional engineering work. Next update will be 6th June.
Text: 5th June: BT here. Just to confirm you've set up online billing with BT, If you didn't please let us know at ... I didn't set anything up as far as I know.
6th June: Apologies for the delay in providing your service. No updates. Escalated the lack of infpormation and hope to have more news tomorrow.
7th June: Apologies for the delay on your order. I can confirm that we are awaiting the outcome of our escalation with our suppliers and are confident of haveing (sp) and (sp) update for you on 11/6.
Now, I am quite a patient person but I need a landline. I live 60 metres or so from a Post Office and even less from a main road. I can see a telephone pole from my back garden just 50 metres away. My neighbours have landlines. Why can't I have one?

Unable to activate new phone on my prepaid account
I have a replacement phone to add to my existing prepaid account. I followed the directions via the phone number to activate it online. However, I get a message "My Verizon is temporarily unavailable as we work to improve our system to serve you better. We apologize, please try again later". I have been trying this for several hours. There was no Live help available for prepaid customers. So I contacted Live help via the sales page (knew they'd be there). They sent me to prepaid customer service (supposedly), but after waiting online for 5 minutes, I was informed by that rep that she could not access a prepaid account and gave me a second phone number to try. I asked if this would connect me with a person and she said yes. However, it sent me to an automated message that gave me 2 choices- go back to main menu or hang up! So, I dialed the 3rd phone number- provided in my phone's manual. Entered my current number, phone MEI & SIM numbers and it automated response says that it was sending me to a customer service rep- then I get a message that I was disconnected and needed to redial that number- which I didn't have! Worst most ineffective, fraudulent service I have ever encountered. I have funds sitting in my prepaid account being held by Verizon and cannot activate the new phone with my existing number. How do I activate this phone? If my only option is going to a service center- then Verizon should be telling existing customers that instead of deliberately giving out the wrong information.
It doesn't. I was able to load in phone information(MEI/ SIM) and the prompt said it was sending me to a customer service rep, but it disconnected and I only got a message saying to redial that number (that I was robo- forwarded to).
I have attempted online, live chat, called *611, *22898, 555-294-6804, 866-893-7723, and 877-777-5759. Nothing works. Will head to verizon center and have them clear phone so I can return. Will probably switch to a new carrier and another new phone. -
I broke my old phone recently and bought a new one but I dont know how to activate it? I just bought it at wal mart but I already have a contract so I dont want to get a pre paid plan but whenever I try and activate it it says it can't find my number. What's goin on here? How do i activate this phone?
If you are trying to activate a pre-paid phone on a contract plan number, it likely won't work - you need to have thepre-paid be active on a pre-paid account for 6 months before you can switch.
You'll need to call customer service and give them the ESN and see if they can possibly activate it for you on your account, or find another phone to activate - an older one that a friend has that has been on a regular contract account, ebay, etc.... -
i got apple iphone 3 and i getting problem to activate that its showing message could not activate plz help me how can i activate my phone?
Most likely your phone is carrier locked to a different carrier than the SIM card you're using. It will activate and operate only with the carrier to which it's locked.

How do I activate the phone in Thailand
I am in Thailand and want to use the phone with Thai GSM Sim. I did work out with Verizon support and she gave me an unlock code. As the instruction, just replace GSM sim and reboot the phone. It will prompt to enter the code. But it does not prompt me anything. Then I try to reset the phone, hopefully it will prompt the code. Now, I have to activate the phone. I have 2 questions:
1 How do I activate the phone outside US?
2. How to make the phone prompt me to enter the unlock code?Kwanchai,
Greetings from that states! And we want to get you up and running in Thailand ASAP. Now, we appreciate you having verified with our team what needs to be done prior as well as doing what you've done thus far regarding activation. That being said, I'd recommend contacting our Global Support Team at 908-559-4899 for additional assistance.

How to update my new phone number after my U-verse phone service is disconnected?
How to update my new phone number for forwarding after my U-verse phone service is cancelled/ disconnected?
I did call them. They said once the phone service is disconnected, there's nothing they can do about it. The thing is that when I called them to cancel the U-verse service yesterday, they did not offer me the opportunity to update the new phone #. This is so frustrating!

How long will the new 2011 imacs last?
Based on older imacs and types of precoessors how long would a new imac be expected to last
Also depends on what you mean. Do you mean physically last or remain functionally viable? Old Macs from the '80s are still ticking along, look on eBay.
While all manufactured products are subject to being lemons, I think it's far more likely that your machine will become "functionally obsolete" before it dies. My late-2004 iMac G5 (2GB RAM) is just now starting to show its age since some developers are starting to drop PowerPC support, but other than that it works like the day it was new. -
