How to port iphone 4 to new network provider in less than 20 days (or forever)?!?

Changing network provider with iPhone 4 and neither network provider (old or new) told me that it takes a superbly customer focused (up to) 20 working days to have my phone 'unlocked' by apple...
Any suggestions?

It comes Down to what carriier  one is locked to
Buying a sin unlocked phone is Always an option
Though the upfront Price diff often confuse people into thinking the
Carrier offer is cheaper

    How much do you use the phone? What type of tasks are you doing on the phone? How much time is less than a day, 23 hours, 16 hours, less?

  • How to use iPhone with a new network

    I received a new iPhone 3G S 8GB from a friend in US. The problem is the phone is configured with A T & T. I have recharged the battery upon receving it but it failed to display the phone menu. It only displays emergency call and the iTunes and USB cable sign on the screen. I have inserted a new sim it also does not change. It displays the IMEI number and th ICCID number when pressing the 'i' sign. After removing the sim it says 'No Sim Card Installed, Insert a valid SIM with no Pin lock to activate iPhone. Please help me how I can be able to use the phone?

    Thank you for the reply. I am not in the US and stay in another country where ATT does not operate. Is there any
    other ways to unlock the phone that is configured to ATT or should I consider the phone useless as it is brand new (I think there should be a way out)? Any suggestions please?

  • Brand new Zen Neeon[literally less than a day old] extremely sl

    Hey there,
    Firstly, Merry Christmas to you all(although by the time you read this it will be a tad late...) and a happy and peaceful New Year.
    Down to business.
    I was given a Zen Neeon (6GB) as a gift today. I installed the software correctly, charged the player through my PC using the provided USB cable, and copied a collection of music from my hard dri've to the player.
    I fired it up, thrilled that I finally had an mp3 player that didn't act temperamentally by switching off as soon as the battery was touched, switch from 'play all' to 'shuffle' at random times, and moved from one track to the next ever-so-slowly and so on.
    At first, things were great. Sound is quite good, menu response is swift, and the settings are good. However, as soon as I attempt to PLAY a track, it's like something inside the player just...doesn't. It takes roughly ten to fifteen seconds for it to respond to me pressing 'play', and going from one track to the next takes as much time, if not more. I mean, this is silly. It's a brand new product, charged and ready, it shouldn't take 5 seconds just to move from track 7 to track 8, surely? During this time it doesn't respond to any other buttons, either. The display will sit on the second last second of the track duration for this time, and then suddenly switch to the next track.
    My question is this: is this a common problem with the Neeon? Has anyone else experienced this? And most importantly, is it actually a problem? Or is the Neeon just this slow and non-responsi've by nature?
    Thanks, guys.

    Hey i have the same zen neeon 6gb, and im having the same problem - especially when the play is set on shuffle. did you find anything out about what is causing the problem?

  • How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network?

    How can I set up a new network on my apple tv when my remote app isn't picking it up because they aren't on the same network? The actual remote doesn't work anymore, so I've been using the remote app on my phone but now that our internet changed, I can't do anything at all. Please help!

    You can't use the remote app to setup a network. If your physical remote isn't working you will need borrow another or purchase a replacement.

  • I have set up my wireless network and now have moved. How can I set up a new network with a different ip address

    I have set up my wireless network on airport express and worked great. I have now moved and have a new internet provider and need to change my ip address. How do I do this

    Is your new ISP providing you with a static Public IP address? ... or are they providing you with a dynamic IP address via DHCP (this would be the most common method for consumer-grade Internet service.) Next, which version of the AirPort Utility are you using? Finally, which version of the AirPort Express do you have?

    ONLY the carrier to which it is unlocked can unlock it.
    If they do not offer this service, then there is nothing to do.

  • How is it I purchased a brand new phone less than 30 days ago and when defective I'm given a used phone and find a replacement sent slow mail?

    I opened an account with added lines with Verizon about Nov 14th. Not 30 days has passed and yesterday in the middle of using my fully charged HTC One M8 Windows phone the screen went dark. I can hear incoming service but of course the phone is useless.
    I was promised a replacement and told by the tier 2 support person last night that the replacement would be out overnight. I checked earlier and no status was available, and I checked now after waiting today for the phone, and now I see the phone was not sent overnight, and further that I will be sent a "like new" used replacement. I paid a substantial down payment and will be continuing to pay the new phone price, but now I am being given a used phone though still paying for new.
    I am really unhappy about how this less than 30 day customer who is not going to a discount carrier is getting treated. Someone credited me for the few days service I am out...but that still does not resolve the used phone issue. Is this something I need to take up with the BBB?

    Sucks, but it is in the contract you signed. Within 14 days, return the phone and get a new one, after 14 days, it is a used phone and gets replaced with a used phone. I had this happen to me, felt a bit cheated, but you know what, that phone lasted the entire rest of the contract without issues and continued to work when I passed it on to family.
    The only alternative would be to work directly with HTC, the manufacturer of the phone and try to get a new replacement. However, almost every company does exactly what Verizon does in this situation. Since Verizon is keeping to the terms of the agreement you both agreed to, the BBB will not see any problem and not have any reason to act.

  • Bad iPhone 4 battery (less than 90 days new!!!)

    My iPhone 4 is less than 90 days old and does not hold a charge overnight!  Obviously the battery is bad...who offers the warranty replacement, Verizon (who sent the phone) or Apple (the phone manufacturer)???  Thanks!

    Thanks for taking the time to reply 'Ann154'!  I appreciate the fact that you took the time to provide feedback...
    FYI...I contacted Verizon (before receiving your comment) and they were EXTREMELY helpful in evaluating my situation.  They apologized for the "faulty" phone and have shipped a replacement free of costs!!
    Cheers!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts.  My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up.  Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

    I have the exact same problem.  I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts.  They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

  • MY new Ipod Nano does not hold a charge.  I use it mostly as a watch, perhaps look at it 5 or 6 times in 8 hours, and leave it in sleep mode the rest of the time.  I drains to the red line in less than 2 days.  My husband's nano will last a week this way.

    You are still under warranty if your iPod is "new."  Take full advantage of it by either calling iPod tech support, Apple Care if you have it or take it in to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    If bought at an Apple store, yes. Make sure to bring the receipt and all packaging back, and they'll set you up for an exchange.
