How to keep my current prepaid plan when buying a replacement phone?

<< Moved to Prepaid space for better exposure >>
I have a LG Extravert Prepaid phone. I use the $50 unlimited plan. My phone quit working so I bought a cheap phone to get by for now, Samsung Gusto 2 Prepaid. When I try to change my device to the Samsung it says I need to change my data plan. I would like to keep the $50 unlimited that I just purchased 8 days ago. How can I do so, or can I? PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!!

    Good afternoon reginapaugh!
I'm sorry the Extravert stopped working for you. Lets get that Gusto 2 activated now! What is happening when you try to activate the phone? The Gusto 2 is compatible with our unlimited prepaid plan. If you are still having trouble getting it working, please reach out to our speciality prepay team at 888-294-6804. Keep me posted!
Thanks,

  • Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Will I be able to keep my current data plan when I buy the new iPhone 5.

    Sprint, definite yes (but moot because 3GS is not a CDMA phone)
    Verizon, if you buy at full price $600
    At&t, yes but there may be a caveat
    Outside the USA, I don't know, we need to know your current Tariffe/plan to help.
    Contact your carrier to negotiate any loose ends.

  • How can I deactivate an iPhone 5 and then activate it on a current prepaid plan?

    My son left his iPhone 5 when he moved saying he didn't want it. (teen temper tantrum)  After 6 mos we might as well get some use out of it since we paid for it.  How can I deactivate it (it has been restored to factory default) and then activate it on my current prepaid plan with my number?
    I have no passwords/icloud/apple id information and won't likely get it from him.  Is there another option?  Thanks

        missgen, as a mother of a 16 year old, I know all about temper tantrums. Let's not let that device go to waiste. You can hard reset that device by connecting it to a computer with iTunes downloaded to it. Once you connect the device, it will open iTunes. You will be provided with the option to "Use Recovery Mode." For your convenience, I've provided a very helpful link with the steps to reset that phone's password: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Once the password has been reset, you can master that reset that device in Settings>General>Reset>"Erase All Content & Settings"
    I trust that these steps are helpful to you. Keep us posted. We're standing by to further assist you if needed.

  • How to keep the current http session after returning from external web site

    Hi,
    When I use the response.sendRedirect api to redirect the web page to the external payment site, after payment and return back to the current application, I found that the current http session is lost.
    How to keep the current http session after returning from external web site?
    Thanks

    You should make your sidebar1 and sidebar2 fixed positioned. Make your content DIV fluid.

  • HOW TO KEEP YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMER

    THIS IS NOT EVEN AN IDEA.  THIS IS JUST SIMPLE BUSINESS 101.   I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE 2 YEARS AGO AND ENDED UP TALKING TO A NICE SUPERVISOR THAT UNDERSTOOD MY POSITION AND ENDED UP WITH THE SAME DEAL NEW CUSTOMER WILL GET FOR CURRENT CUSTOMER WHO WANTS TO RENEW THEIR CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS!!!.  AS WE ALL KNOW VERIZON HAVE A GREAT DEAL FOR NEW CUSTOMER BUT THIS DEAL IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THEIR 2 OR 10 YEARS CUSTOMER THAT WANT TO RENEW THEIR CONTRACT?????  I UNDERSTAND THE IDEA AND FINANCIAL PART OF DOING THAT BUT THEY ARE WRONG. BECAUSE MY 2 YEARS CONTRACT EXPIRED IN 4 MONTHS AND IF THEY DON'T GET ME THE SAME DEAL THEY ARE OFFERING TO THEIR NEW CUSTOMER, I WILL BE LOOKING FOR THEIR COMPETITOR.  I MEAN THEY NEE DOT ADD IN THEIR DICTIONARY WHAT LOYAL CUSTOMERS MEANS OR LOOK INTO HOW TO KEEP YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMERS, I MEAN I MIGHT NOT EVEN CARE IF THEY STOP SENDING ME ALL THESE ADS ALMOST EVERYWEEK ABOUT ALL THESE GREAT DEALS NEW CUSTOMERS GET, I FEEL LIKE CHEATED....BY THE WAY, I HAVE BEEN WITH VERIZON FOR 6 YEARS NOW....AND I AM CERTAIN, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE, IF YOU ARE CURRENT CUSTOMER LIKE ME YOU WILL CERTAINLY WILL AGREE IF YOU SEE WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING TO NEW CUSTOMER....YOU WILL FEEL LIKE BETRAYED.....

  • Has anyone had to abandon their current voice plan when activating iphone?

    Has anyone had to change their current voice plan when activating the iphone? I want to get the iphone, but the restrictions are killing me. I can't apply my 24% business discount, no MMS capabilities, no video and the ATT rep told me that I would have to change my current voice plan. The voice plan is the biggest issue. I can live with the others.
    I current have a family share plan with 850 anytime minutes (unlimited nights and weekends and M2M) for $59.99/month. This plan is way better than anything ATT is currently offering. Has anyone had to deal with this?

    I was told when I bought the phone from the Rep at the AT&T store that I would get a 15% discount off my bill for work.. knowing she sold me an iPhone. Emails have went back and forth since October where she said I had to wait a couple of montsh for it process. After calling AT&T customer service and asking them why that my discount column on the bill shows 0.00 and going to the store I bought it and talking to another rep, they both said it doesn't apply to iPhone accounts. After sending another email to the original rep, she goes back on her word and confirms it's not happening. Thank God its a cool phone, otherwise I'd hang up AT&T over that $15/mo I've been missing out on.

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application SuperDuper. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html  You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NexStar-2-5-Inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B002JQNXZC/r ef=pd_cp_pc_0

  • How to keep the JSP content constant when page refresh?

    Hi All,
    When I click page tabs in WLP, it will trigger a refresh event.
    The portlet has a webflow with a refresh event whose destination is
    lastContentUrl(referent-namespace is portal, cloned from portlet2.wf).
    The question is when the page changed, the jsp files which use
    request.getParameter() to get parameters will fail to fulfill what they
    need because the event provide none parameter.
    So that everytime page changed, these portlets will have quite strange
    contents.
    How to keep these content constant when page changed?
    Sincerely,
    Alan.

    The problem is still there if the jsp file is about inserting a new record
    into the database.
    If these parameters are gotten from the session, mutliple insertings will be
    attempted when the portlet is refresh.
    Maybe we can put some control flags in the session to judge the correct
    behavior, but the method results the session full of parameters(control
    flags).
    Or is there any better design?
    Alan.

    Alan,
    You could use the session to put your parameters in instead of letting itride completely
    on the request object. Although, your question is more than just makingthe content
    reappear, it’s about holding state. The project that I am working on, theusers
    decided that they want the page portlets to go back to the "normal" state,not the
    "Maximized" view. So, I put a processor in between the internal.refreshwildcard
    and the Preprocessor input processor so that all the portlets would beseen in their
    "normal" state.
    Good Luck

  • Verizon change my plan when I had two phones tied together. Their mistake, but won't fix it. Do I take my 5 phones and go???

    Do I take my 5 phones and go else where????
    Family dealing with live threatening illness has caused delay in staying on phone with Verizon to clear this up. I've been with Verizon since 2001 and I have 5 phones with them. I had unlimited data on 2 phones since data was available on cell phones. Now I only have it on one. They crossed my childrens phone with mine and this took off my unlimited data on my person phone. The other phone was not affected.  On Jan. 14, 2015 they see where this happened and now say they can't change it back. "We know they have the codes to change this".
    Nov. 2013 I placed order for two new phones for Christmas presents for kids.
    Half the phones arrived and with the wrong size phone cases.
    No phones until AFTER Christmas.
    Due to family member in ICU for a month. Mom couldn't stay on phone with Verizon customer service, trying to clear this all up.
    Phones, all but two are working, for a short period, then three not working right.
    Kept calling and on Feb 2, 2014 Verizon wirless told me to take the phones to a local Verizon retail store to have them change the settings on the two phones.At that time Verizon changed my data plan service while 2 of my cell phones were connected together. Voice and messaging service wasn't corrected until Apri 2014l and new service plan was in place from date of first call about mixup, (Feb 2, 2014)
    Repeated calls to fix situation lead to retail store, (Roseville, CA. on Douglas BLVD) removing sim card from new Iphone 5S, pocketing it and installing brand new sim card, but nothing done with Iphone 4S (that was still connected to 5S).
    Two phones are separated now: "After Mother was getting all daughter's text messages/pictures from boyfriend and friends!!!!! EEWWWWW" and daughter got Mother's messages from everyone: "Oh, not so cool".
         Phone call Aug. 30, 2014 lead to me being put on hold for "the next available representative" for 3 hours, 11 minutes and then the call was just disconnected.
    I recorded the whole phone call on my Iphone 5S video function, which I can provide if needed.
    More attempts to get unlimited data plan back on my phone has been meet with all "training excuses" taught to service reps. and I'm told they can't restore my original plan.
    I know there is a code and the correct numbers that can restore this. I'm told this each time Verizon calls and wants myself or a family member to upgrade.
    The phone call to customer service on Aug. 30, 2014 was to report my deaf daughter's phone being stole at the hospital ER. An order was placed and confirmed for a new phone to be sent overnight to my daughter.
    The phone never arrived, no call from insurance company or Verizon as to why the phone was returned to them.
    More phone calls lead to the discovery that "Leonard had typed in address incorrectly".
    I had to go out and buy daughter a prepaid phone as texting is her only way of communicating her needs.
    Verizon sent me notice the service to said phone had to have service charges restarted again, because it had been suspended too long. I was charged for said stolen, not replaced, invisible phone.
    Received call Jan 14, 2015, sales rep. (female). Asking me to purchase new equipment. ?????
    I explained all past issues and she contacted "Customer Loyalty" supervisor Lupee. at 11:00am. Arrangements were put in place for Lupee to return my call after he reviewed case on his desk.No call yet, I called them at 12:51 pm. The girl that answered asked me if there was a time set for the call back? I told her I understood he would call right back. 12:56 pm Lupee called back, (Note: look how fast the line of communication was on their end????) and we talked till about 2:pm.
    After talking all that time, this is what Lupee had to say: "He isn't in position to make changes to my service plan......wanted me to take new one "The More Plan". I only want my "Unlimited Data Plan" back. I have now stated this 9 times to him.  He was able to see where plan was changed, *without my authorization". Only corp. can make changes at this date. I'm not asking for reimbursement for additional fees charge all this time, I just want my "Unlimited Data Restored". Stop trying to talk me into another plan, to buy another phone, etc. "Please".
    I'll call again when I have a whole day to waste.
    I'LL KEEP ALL OF YOU UP TO DATE ON THIS ADVENTURE AS WE GO ALONG. I STILL HAVE HOPE THAT THEY WILL COME THROUGH SO I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO "S".
    Today had to get number changed for the "old" phone that my daughter needs and I'm Paying For. The old number is a drug ring!!!!!!!!!
    I will proceed with complains to corp and FCC and placing on Face Book.
    We'll also contact 13 on Kurt News.

  • 3 Phones on current family plan - Can i Switch a phone(#) without penatly?

    Here is the situation:
    My girlfriend pays for the Family Plan and has 3 phones on it (hers, her mom's, and her EX-boyfriend).
    I have an individual account which I am currently eligible to update my phone (which i wanted the Droid X), BUT my contract ends in MAY I believe.
    Her ex-boyfriend refuses to give the phone back as well as refuses to pay his part of the bill (it being in my gf's name, she is kind of stuck paying his part).  So, my question is:  What is the most economical way for her to deal with it???
    I believe she still has quite awhile until the contract ends, so it's NOT worth her paying the bill each month, BUT she also does not want to cancel his phone because of the early termination fee.
    Are there any ways for her to get out of this WITHOUT a fee (keeping her other 2 phones on, but getting rid of HIS)?
    MY idea was:   taking his phone (and changing the number figuring that way the fee would probably much less - just the cost of a number change, BUT he is not giving the phone back).....
    Is there any way Verizon would cancel his phone/# and add mine (guessing i'd have to wait until MAY   ), and not add a fee since it would still be 3 phones?
    Any other ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Your GF AGREED to pay her ex's phone bill for two years. She is stuck with it.Changing numbers or replacing with your phone will not eliminate the responsibilty she agreed to.
    Some ideas, her and him could do an assumption of liability if he is willing... I suspect he wont.
    What I am going to suggest MAY force him to take the phone onto his own contract..... Suspend the line. She can choose to continue to pay or not. Without paying she can go three months and the contract is extended three months. Bit if he wants his number bad enough he may agree to take the line over when he finds the phone is DOA.
    if he refuses to take the line, She needs to decide which is cheaper, paying the monthly bill (which if she suspends and still pays, she can choose a much lower plan) or whether the ETF is cheaper.  But no matter what, short term I would suspend the line so it does not work.
