How to re-activate old phone onto account.

So we recently added my mother onto family account as she needs cell phone.
Problem is she is really good with any kind of technology and has trouble with phone we got her.
I have an old flip phone that is alot easier to use, just numbers and green and red call and end button.
How do I activate it on the account?  is it *228 ?
Its a family plan with 3 users, not sure how to go abouts doing it

Turn OFF the phone she is using now, on the phone you want to activate dial *228, press 1, enter her number, enter the billing account passcode(if asked for), and music should start playing and phone will say programming sucessful and reboot.

  • How do I activate my 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....

    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.

  • I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3.  have new iphone4.  how can i get music off old phone onto new one.  new phone all set up.  help

    I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer.  Thought I did it properly but did not.  New at this stuff.  Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone.  Anyway to get it to new phone.  Help.:)

    Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone.  You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.

  • How to delete an old Apple ID account

    I have an old Apple ID account the showers up on my I phone and I pad at the suggestion of Apple/ the Cloud, I changed my ID to e mail address. However, when I try and access the Apple Store from either device, my old user name appears and I do not know how to replace it with my mew account.
    Thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    I assume that you updated the existing account id rather that creating a new one, if so then you can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and you can then log back in with the updated id. If you created a new account then any content that is on the iPad will remain linked to that old account

  • How do I get old library onto my new computer ?

    I've just bought a new computer and need to know how to download my songs etc onto the new computer. I turned on home sharing but not sure how that works. Any help out there ?
    Thanks

    what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
    if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
    now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
    if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.
    in order for home sharing to work
    (a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
    (b) all machines must be on the same network
    (c) all machines must have access to the internet.
    these reads will be useful: one and two.
