I need to swap devices and phone numbers!

     So here is the deal... My plan has four lines (my mother, brother, sister and I). My sister used my upgrade and renewed my contract in December (extending my contract 2 years), however I planned on dropping my phone line. So I need to swap my device and phone number with my brother since his upgrade is in about a week (01/26/2015).
     I know that I can't explicitly swap contracts or phone numbers, but as long as my brother keeps his phone and phone number, and My family's plan can drop a line next week I am good. I would like to be able to take my phone number with me when I leave as well, but that is less important.
     A customer service rep manager told me about something called a TNI swap but then he forwarded me to someone who told me I was in the wrong department and lost my call. Do any of you know what I can do. Thanks

Ive "heard" it can be done...and its very sneaky. Technically that line is under contract, so if you take the number it cancels the contract. You just cant switch numbers on a contract. So if you are tied to the number then take it and pay the ETF. Otherwise, have him have your number and you have his. Guess it depends how important it is to you.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use. I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

HT4528 my iphone synced with my computer and left my contact info but erased the address and phone numbers but left notes and email addresses on the phone and computer

Is there any way to restore the addresses and phone numbers to the contacts on the iphone and computer that were erased after it synced?

Then chances are you won't be able to get them back. You can try restoring from your last iPhone backup to see if they're still there. To do this, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences; on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup. Of course, if your backup has already been overwritten with a new backup that doesn't contain the missing contact information then this will not restore it to your phone.) When done you can go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

International Addresses and Phone Numbers

How do people typically deal with International Addresses and Phone Numbers? Do you use special attributes for these?

I know how to create attributes, the issue is how to create the right set of attributes that can be used for all given international telephone and addresses?
I would think there would be some sort of predefined standard for doing this but if you have to create your own custom attributes just to do this, then that's not really a great thing.
Oracle or the ldap standards people whomever they are should include all the object classes and attributes for International Telephone numbers and addresses so all you need to do is add the objectclass to your users and use them!
Sorry it just doesn't make sense to have everyone create these...

HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

A better way might be
Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

Advice on indexing names and phone numbers

Hi!
I currently have a database with 2,6 million records containing names, addresses and phone numbers. I would like to do fast search like: Give me all persons called "Hansen" living on "Elm street". More complex queries like "%sen" living on "%street%" with a phone number like "3888____".
I'm running on a huge Windows 2000 server with Oracle 8.1.7
I currently have indexed the fields with interMedia and substring indexing. Below is my setup.
BEGIN
ctx_ddl.create_preference('tdk_store', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','K_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','R_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','N_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','I_INDEX_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','P_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.Create_Preference ( 'tdk_wordlist', 'basic_wordlist' );
ctx_ddl.Set_Attribute ( 'tdk_wordlist', 'substring_index', 'true');
end;
CREATE INDEX tdknavn ON tdk ( navn )
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
parameters ('WORDLIST tdk_wordlist STORAGE tdk_store');
CREATE INDEX tdkadresse ON tdk ( adresse )
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
parameters ('WORDLIST tdk_wordlist STORAGE tdk_store');
CREATE INDEX tdktelefon ON tdk ( telefon )
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
parameters ('WORDLIST tdk_wordlist STORAGE tdk_store');
Query like this gives horrible execution times:
SELECT count(*)
FROM tdk
WHERE contains(navn, 'bedsted') > 0
AND contains(adresse, 'gade') > 0
A query like this caused a dump:
SELECT count(*)
FROM tdk
WHERE contains(adresse, '%gade%') > 0
Is this a stupid approach??

Yes it caused a core dump! End-of-file on communication channel.
I just learned about the catsearch function. I read in this forum that is doesn't support wildcards until 9i. So I have to use contains for now.
But... is catsearch faster than contains when you combine to catsearch' in one where clause?
Another question: Is catsearch only faster than contains when you combine it with structured data??

How do I get my contacts and phone numbers back after I finished the upgrade?

Hopefully you backed up that info on your Mac or PC. Do a restore and they should all come back. If you have an iCloud account you can recover them from there as well.

HT4906 When I synched my phone to the iCloud, I lost my contact list and phone numbers.

When I synched my 3G phone to upgrade the operating system and to join i cloud, I lost my contact list and phone numbers
How can I get the list and phone numbers back???

If they aren't in your contacts on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you would have to restore them from a backup source.

Retrieving contacts and phone numbers

The screen on my phone is broken so I can't access any of the information on my phone. I need the phone numbers for work and its very important that I can get them back. The lady at the phone store wasn't able to retrieve the numbers, but told me to get on here and it would work if I hook a cord up to the phone. I never updated my account or had an email account associated with my phone and updates on this site. How can I get the numbers back?

Hello E_J,
Welcome to the community,
If you had earlier copied the contacts to Sim card then can get as much contact you had saved from Sim card,
You are saying that you can't access it cause of broken screen but if you can Turn On the device then I think you will
be able to get your contacts by mean of Blackberry desktop software but of course you need a usb cord.
You can download the latest desktop software for windows from here how to download latest desktop software for windows
And for mac computer hereInstalling the latest desktop software for Mac computer
So with the help of desktop software you can get your contacts back.
Good Luck.

Names, addresses and phone numbers have dissappeared from my list, favorites and tx mess

Suddenly I went to favorites and realize most of my phones have no names only phone numbers. I went to all contacts and they are not there. I lost names addresses and all info. I need to know if is still there? in the memory? or I need to do it all over again.

Try importing your contact list from Verizon Backup Assist.
If you do not have that, then upload them from your saved contacts in your computer.
If you do not have that, then try to restore your backed up phone data from a previous backup on itunes.
If you still have none of those, then yeah. You're SOL and will have to manually insert everything. I recommend afterwards getting the backup assist app and backing everything up so you don't have to do that ever again.
Hope this helps!

Question in regards to multiple addresses and phone numbers in one contact...

Hello iPhone users!
I have a quick question in regards to contacts. If I have a name of a restaurant that has two separate phone numbers and two separate locations, do I need to create a separate contact for each location and each phone number? For exmaple, let's say the Restaurant name is Luigi's and there is one location in Boston and one in New York. I wish to enter both of the addresses and both of phone numbers.
Ideally, how would I combine both of these? I think to further qualify is if I'm able to combine both entries into one contact, how can I differentiate the phone numbers? I realize there are labels that I can customize (i.e. name one label Boston and the other New York) but it seems if I do that, then those custom labels appear to carry over for any other new contact I create which is not ideal.
Am I on the right track or am I over thinking this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I'm just trying to figure out the best way. Basically I was hoping to create one contact entity with the restaurant name and withing that contact the following:
1. Addresses for both locations
2. Phone numbers for both locations
3. A label to distinguish which number belongs to what location
So at the moment, I have one contact and the label for one phone number is "main" which is not ideal because it doesn't distinguish what location the number is calling. Let's say I create a custom label called "Boston". It works fine and I can assign that label to that number. The drawback is that now the custom label "Boston" now appears globally in my custom label list. I guess this is fine with one or two labels but then I can see how this might get out of control with more labels being added. I was hoping a custom label would apply only to that one contact and not be globally available to all other new contacts.
If I do create a custom label and delete it from my list, it then goes away for the contact that I assigned the label to.
So given that information, I guess if I don't want the custom label list to get out of control, it's probably best to create a separate contact for each location... i.e.
1. Luigi's - Boston
2. Luigi's - New York
I was just hoping to have everything consolidated into one contact as opposed to creating multiple ones. It seems like that can't be accomplished unless I have a huge list of custom labels in which I probably won't use them to apply to other contacts : )

I was updating my iPhone 4 with the new version 6 and all my calendar and phone numbers gone... I was restoring my phone but nothing happend

Hi, I was updating the new version 6.0.
The phone stopped processing the updating.
I had to restore it.
But I lost all my info of the calendar as phone numbers!!!!
What can I do to get it back?!?!

Your phone is in recovery mode. All the data on your phone is gone. However, I'm sure you didn't do anything foolish like upgrade the iOS before backing up.
You'll need to connect your iPhone to your computer and restore via iTunes like the diagram indicates. Once restored, simply restore your data from the backup you would have made right before you updated.

Switching iPhones and phone numbers

My gal and I wish to trade iPhones (my 8GB for her 16GB). She is very charitable. But how do we retain our respective phone numbers. Also, iTunes should save our respective data, right?

I believe this should be fine: simply replace the SIM cards on the iPhones, though having done this, you need to activate once again with your respective numbers. If you both have different computers, then the data from the last sync in iTunes will be restored on your new iPhones.

I have lost all the information on my personal calendar on my phone as well as selected contact names and phone numbers. Can they be recovered?

I seem to have lost all info on my personal calendar that I keyed in myself whether they were single appointments or recurring meetings or events. As well, I had added quite a few phone numbers with corresponding names that have mysteriously vanished.Iam in a panic as I can't seem to find them and do not know if they are lost forever.CAn anyone help?

Icloud provides for backups AND for contacts and calendars being stored. You are not forced to do a icloud restoration to recover calendar and contacts from icloud.
Please read this article about recovering contacts and calendars from icloud.
Please understand this only works with the idea that you have initially used icloud for your contacts and calendar entry storage.
