I just synced my iphone to my computer last night. I have a data plan with verizon for my iphone but my ipad used wifi. Will my messages from my iphone come across on my ipad

I just synced my iphone to my computer last night. I was wondering if my text meaages from my iphone are going to come across on my ipad now?

Then you would have to send a sms via your iPhone (iMessages will be displayed in blue, normal sms in green). Please see also: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

I have old unlimited data plan and insurance and just broke my Google Nexus 1. If I send it in, will I get a refurbished Nexus 1?

I have old unlimited data plan and insurance and just broke my Google Nexus 1.
If I send it in, will I get a refurbished Nexus 1?
I was told by a friend that they no longer supply those and if I break it, the insurance will give a crappier phone since they no longer have Nexus 1s.
Is this true? If my phone is no longer properly insured is there a way to cancel/reimbuse my insurance/verizon account since it's worthless if they don't give the same model to replace it?
Second question, if I buy the contract-free moto X at full retail, can I use that for my account without losing the unlimited data and then dropping the insurance?

How come so many people on this forum are having trouble doing that? They get a new phone, pay full price, call to activate, the rep accidentally removes unlimited data and then says, "Sorry, I can't restore that." It's then up to the customer to find someone here to deal with problem and with no assurance it will be restored properly (one person lost his global unlimited data, only domestic unlimited was restored.)
I plan on keeping my unlimited data, purchasing phone full price; what is the best way to make sure it is done properly? Go to the VZW store? I does seem most people having problems did it online or by telephone.
Thanks.

I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working. I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it. When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan. However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan. I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone. Same thing happened. Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

I have a 2GB data plan with my iphone 5c. If I purchase a new tablet can I use the phone as a personal hotspot for the tablet without any additional costs?

dianneb, great question and thanks for the help Weth. The good news is if you're on More Everything the mobile hotspot would be apart of your plan just as Weth mentioned. What you just want to keep in mind is that the usage from the tablet while connected to the hotspot would take from your current plan allowance. Hope this helps!

Or, go to the App store, sign out of your current account. Try to make a purchase and it will ask you to sign in, or create a new account.
You can do it through iTunes as well.

are you talking about voiceover where the phone is reading things out loud to you? you have to double tap things in voiceover in order to select them. you'll need to go to settings > general > accessibility > and turn off voiceover there

Unlimited Data Plan - If Grandfathered, For how Long?

Does anyone know how long one is grandfathered for if they had the Unlimited Data Plan prior to July 7th?
I heard that it was only until your contract was up for renewal and then you would have to select one of the tiered options.
Is that true?
Thanks

If you had a smartphone unlimited plan prior to 7.7 you will be good for a while. VZW has not stated anything about limiting it to one contract renewal.
VZW is pretty good about those who are grandfathered.
Yes, it's been pretty good, lots of people still on old plans like ACII (and maybe AC1) for years, only having to change when they upgrade to a smartphone or similar.
However, recently there was one bad example, the unlimited international data plan. They are removing this "feature" from people's plans, even those still on contract since this is a feature rather than part of the plan. It was incredibly good value, not matched by other carriers, and is now gone. I suspect that sometime in the future (probably more than one contract renewal away though) this might happen to those still on the (domestic) unlimited plan. But as budone says, there is no such statement from VZW.

HT1688 Is it possible to trade in my perfect iphone 4s with sprint, for a Iphone 4s with AT&T? How/Were could i do this?

I just got an iphone 4s traded to me from a freind for some audio equipment, unfortunately his carrier is sprint... and i have AT&T, is there any place i can take it to have it swapped for services or something of that nature?

No. You could try to sell yours and buy a new one.

HT201334 How does one set up profile manager on a completely closed network with no Internet access available or even possible?

I need to set up Profile Manager on a completely closed network that has no Internet access at all. I can sneaker-net files into the network if I need to.
Profile Manager (and Lion Server in general) seems to need outside access to complete setup and I've been unable to find any meaningful answers.
Does anyone any any ideas?
Thanks to all

you could try it without enabling apple push notifications in server
you wont' be able to push out profiles without enabling apple push notification
but users could download them, or you could install manually, e-mail etc

Does 4g phone work with grandfathered in unlimited data plan?

I am out of contract (month-to-month service) with an unlimited data plan that is grandfathered in. I don't want a new contract, because I don't want to loose my unlimited data plan, so I'm going to buy a new smartphone for full price without contract. I've done this before, by simply activating the new phone online for free. My concern is that I am using a 3g phone, and most phones are 4g, so will a 4g phone work with my current data plan?
note: It is a $29.99/month fee for unlimited data (grandfathered in before 7/7/11)

My wife and i just upgraded our phones at a Best Buy and they changed our plan to a 2gig plan telling me that there was no unlimited plan. Do you have any idea why this is? I have had unlimited data plans for years now but it looks like i have been forced or tricked into getting a 2 gig plan. Any advise?
This is because Verizon has discontinued unlimited data plans UNLESS you pay full retail for your phone. If you notice, my last reply was from 1 year ago. Verizon's policy on unlimited data changed in, I believe, June of 2012 at which point unlimited was only kept if you paid full retail for a new phone and did not have to sign a new contract.
Now if you sign a new contract, you lose your unlimited data and have to choose from a tiered data plan starting at $30 for 2GB or switch to the Share Everything plan.

How do I get Verizon to honor unlimited data plan stated on receipt?

I was among those who upgraded their phones during the "glitch" that allowed customers to keep their unlimited data plans. Our two new iPhone 5s' arrived this week, along with receipts for each that, as far as I can tell, maintain our unlimited data plan.
When I called to activate the phones, the rep told me he couldn't guarantee we would keep the unlimited plans after activation, and the activation (along with the potential change to the 2GB plan) was irreversible. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who told me we still have the option for unlimited data and that it was just our luck of the draw. I took this to mean we lucked out with the glitch. However, when the rep got back on the line he said the supervisor meant that when he (the rep) activates our phones, it will kick us to the 2GB plan, and he may be able to switch us back to the unlimited if he acts fast enough, but it was no guarantee (hence "luck of the draw"). I decided to not act just yet and got off the phone.
So, is the rep pulling my leg? I understand I got to this point through what was later revealed to be a glitch, but I thought Verizon stated to the press they would honor the orders, not to mention I have receipts showing the new phones and our current plan that we've had for years.
How should I proceed with this? Thanks for any help.

Fortunately in all my dealings with the court system "written" takes a great sway over intent. You have someone sell you a service and they write this order is final with the additions etc. Then on the day the goods or services are provided the company states this was not supposed to be agreed to (intent) the contract is based on what was written and agreed to.
I am presently locked into a simular situation now with a home improvement contractor. On the contract it stated the job must be completed no later than October 13, 2013 or sooner. Its signed by them and us. Now they missed the contract date, they are claiming the agent for the company had no right to do so. They keep pushing the date further and further away.
Went a filed a court claim for the large money we paid plus simple interest on the amount. Also found another company who will do the job now at a cost $4,000.00 more than the other company. In my state the court can grant me either as relief. Also not doing the job is criminal in nature so we can file a police complaint for grand larceny. Bad business practice.
Evidently the company was served with the summons last week. Since they called and said the work will be done complete Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
They have to honor what was written. Same thing with Verizon via their press release.
I remember years ago an online retailer had a typo in their ad, the price should have been $250 but the printed ad said $25 in that case the companies ad had a disclaimer which said not responsible for typographical errors. In this case verizon had no such disclaimer at the check out process.

Unlimited Data Plan removed without my knowledge or consent. Verizon refuses to reinstate. Any suggestions? Please and Thank you.

I am desperately reaching out to anybody that may be able to help me with this situation.
I don't want to give up hope, but I feel that it may be a battle that I cannot win.
This is my story...
A few years ago, my iPhone 3G was stolen. At that time, my spouse and I both had Unlimited Data plans with Verizon. Fortunately for me, my in-laws had an old flip phone that I could borrow until I could afford a new iPhone. So, I took the newly inherited flip phone to my local Verizon Wireless store to have it activated. I didn't really want to use the flip phone, but beggars can't be choosers and I was just glad to be able to make and receive phone calls again. I told the nice folks at the Verizon store what happened, and they assured me that they could activate the flip phone so that I could use it. "Yes, sir. We can activate this phone for you. No problem." So, I gave them the flip phone. They activated it and told me that I was "Good to go."
A little over a month later, I was able to save up with enough money to buy an iPhone. So, back to the local Verizon store I went. They showed me a variety of phones, but I was already pretty set on an iPhone. I bought the new iPhone, and they activated it for me. It was all pretty straight forward and easy.
With my new iPhone in hand, I left the store and everything was back to normal.
Many months later, I get a text from Verizon telling me that I only had 2% of my data plan left to use. This really struck me as odd. How could that be? How does someone figure out what 2% of unlimited is? I really couldn't wrap my head around the math needed to calculate percentages of limitless values, so I decided to call Customer Service.
After several calls, I was finally able to piece together what happened. And, it started as soon as I stepped into the Verizon Wireless Store...
1. When the people at the store activated the flip phone, the activation automatically downgraded my data plan from, Unlimited to 2GB, because the flip phone simply did not require a data plan. NOBODY told me that this was going to happen... NOBODY. Had I known that I was about to get stripped of my Unlimited Data Plan, I never would've agreed to it. Who in their right mind would???
2. It went unnoticed for over 30 days. I was told that I took too long to catch their mistake. (I say "their" mistake because if you're going to change something on my account on that large a scale, "they" need to tell "me" about it first.) And, because I didn't catch it within 30 days, I could not have my data plan returned to me. They actually told me that if I had only caught it sooner, then I would be able to have it back.
3. Because I didn't even know that my Unlimited Data plan was even in jeopardy, I bought a new phone. And this is where it gets kinda tricky...
When I bought the new iPhone, I asked them... I asked them if my data plan was going to have to change. They told me "No.", and that "Everything would stay the same." Which, is somewhat of a semi-truth. And, it's also one of the main reasons why I am not being given back my old Unlimited Data plan. See, when I asked them if my data plan would stay the same, I was referring to my Unlimited Data plan. (At this point and time, I had no idea my Unlimited Data Plan was already gone.) So, when they told me that I would keep my data plan, it because they were looking at a screen that told them that I had a 2GB data plan. To them, I was going from 2GB to 2GB. To me, I had Unlimited, and was keeping my Unlimited.
4. To make matters worse, Verizon keeps telling me that I can't have my Unlimited Data Plan back because I bought a new phone at a non-retail price.
I WOULD GLADLY PAY THE DIFFERENCE OF THE PHONE COST to have all of this fixed. $300? $400? Maybe even $500? I honestly would fork over that money in a heart beat. I only bought that phone because I was told in the store that my plan would not change.
Any Customer Service Rep can look up my history and see that what I'm saying is true. I've even had a very nice Customer Service Rep offer to upgrade my 2GB Data Plan to 6GB AND send me a free iPhone 5c to go with it! But, I did not want to give up the fight. My spouse still has the Unlimited Data Plan, but uses a non-4G- LTE phone for fear of losing the unlimited data to the upgrade. Even, I, have avoided upgrading for a long time because I didn't want to lose my plan.
Turns out the joke has been on me this entire time. I haven't had my Unlimited Data Plan for 3 years now.
I honestly don't feel like I've done anything wrong here.
I'm at a complete loss now, and have no idea what to do next.
I'm open to any, and every suggestion that someone may have.
Thank you.

A few years ago, my iPhone 3G was stolen Verizon never had the iPhone 3G. Are you sure it wasn't the iPhone 4 or 4S? Thank you for pointing this out. I did have an iPhone. It was with Verizon. It must have been an iPhone 4.. At that time, my spouse and I both had Unlimited Data plans with Verizon.

No problem." So, I gave them the flip phone. They activated it and told me that I was "Good to go." Seems that what you asked for was accomplished. Yes and No. Did they activate it? Yes. Did they inform me as to how this would impact my account? No. Let's say you ask for a glass of water to drink at a restaurant. Can they bring you the water? Sure they can. Is that waiter obligated to tell you that it had E Coli in it? Well, as long as he brought you the water, what you asked for was accomplished, right?
A little over a month later Exactly what month and year was this? This all took place mid-2011. “This” took place in August, I believe. I was able to save up with enough money to buy an iPhone.

1. When the people at the store activated the flip phone, the activation automatically downgraded my data plan from, Unlimited to 2GB, because the flip phone simply did not require a data plan. Going from a smartphone to a flip phone would have dropped the data off completely not to the 2GB plan. Yes. You are correct. I was told differently by Customer Service. But, what you are saying makes more sense. NOBODY told me that this was going to happen... NOBODY. Had I known that I was about to get stripped of my Unlimited Data Plan, I never would've agreed to it. Who in their right mind would???

When I bought the new iPhone, I asked them... I asked them if my data plan was going to have to change. They told me "No.", and that "Everything would stay the same." They answered your question. If you asked would your plan change and they told you no then did have unlimited at the time. I’m having a difficult time understanding your English here. If I understand it correctly, then I've already stated that they answered my question. It's actually right... Which, is somewhat of a semi-truth. And, it's also one of the main reasons why I am not being given back my old Unlimited Data plan. See, when I asked them if my data plan would stay the same, I was referring to my Unlimited Data plan.

To me, I had Unlimited, and was keeping my Unlimited.Being more specific and asking if you would keep your unlimited plan this could have been addressed at the time of purchase. There should be some standard as to how business is conducted in situations like this. I would like to think that if someone knew that my plan would be changed, then they would've at least had the courtesy to tell me about it. Granted, I could have been more specific. At the same time, though, I’m not going to ask every waiter that brings me water if there was E Coli in it.

Turns out the joke has been on me this entire time. I haven't had my Unlimited Data Plan for 3 years now. Wait...you bought the iPhone to replace the flip phone 3 years ago and you never used more than 2GB of data in this time? I did eventually get to that point. That’s what prompted the phone calls to Customer Service. I don't get it. When did you put the flip phone on July 2011 and when did you get the iPhone to replace the flip phone. August 2011 and have you had any new phone since then? Yes, just last month. I purchased a used iPhone 5 from someone.
I honestly don't feel like I've done anything wrong here.
I'm at a complete loss now, and have no idea what to do next.

Will an iPad restore / new setup kill my AT&T Unlimited Data plan?

Hi guys,
I'm going to be giving a presentation on the iPad's features to a business group I work with. Before giving the presentation, I'd like to fully restore my 64g+3G iPad and create a temporary "stock" profile - that way, I won't be presenting all my personal junk to the group. I have one main concern, though: I'm really anxious about possibly losing my $30-per-month unlimited data plan with AT&T - I got "grandfathered in" on the deal, and I know if I interrupt my service for even a moment, I'll have to downgrade to the 2gig-per-month plan.
So, does anyone know if a restore / reset of the iPad would affect my AT&T plan, or would I just sign back in with my account details and pick up right where I left off?
Thanks in advance!
Huxley

It will not affect your plan. Plan only gets impacted if you cancel and restart your service, which you are not doing. From a technical perspective the plan isn't even attached to the iPad itself, it's attached to the SIM card.

How to transfer 2x unlimited data plan

I have two unlimited data plans - one under contract. I'm moving oversea and need to get rid of the plans. I hear you can do an assumption of liability and avoid EFT. How do I do that? Can the new "owner" keep his/her original # or is he/she using my #?
<< Email removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >>
Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

When you do an Assumption Of Liability (AOL) you are transferring the financial responsibility of the lines to someone else. This means if you have 2 lines 123-456-7890 and 223-456-7890 and you allow the AOL to me I get those numbers and must pay for them until the contracts are completed. I do not get your unlimited data plan. You cannot transfer a feature like unlimited data from your line to someone else's already existing account. If you wanted to keep the numbers then I would just continue to pay online every month until you come back to the U.S. Otherwise, you would just disconnect and pay the ETF.
