If I bought a prepaid Verizon smartphone at Walmart, could I use it to replace a phone on my account that has run out of insurance claims?

My husband needs a new phone since I recently shattered his screen, however we are out of insurance claims on the phone so we cant replace it through that method. If I get an upgrade, I would have to change plans as my current plan is no longer offered. This is something I don't want to do. So if I outright buy a prepaid smart phone at Walmart, could I activate it with his number on our current account?

If you put it on prepaid for 6 months first, yes

  • I just bought the Nikon D750 and my raw files will not open in CC Photoshop. Is anyone else that has this camera experienced this problem?

    My Photoshop says it is up to date, but I am hoping that since this camera just came out, Adobe will have an raw file update soon.

    DNG Converter is FREE.  Yes, really.  No subscription needed.
    - Baloney, NOT FREE, it's a proprietary software, not open AT ALL, see Legal Notices, so stop trying to distort the truth here.
    Camera Raw (& DNG Converter) 8.7RC has been available since 2nd October, and opens D750 files in Photoshop & Bridge (& Lightroom using DNG Converter).

    - Still a cumbersome process for this of us that PAID for software and support, the whole point of this discussion is to implement this directly on LR, so we, the PAYING users don't have to waste time doing a useless process that could be EASILY AVOIDED ig Adobe released updates as they are needed, or if they OPENED THE SOURCE CODE so the community could do it.
    Adobe created DNG, which is a well-documented backwards-compatible format, which is free for any manufacturer to use.
    See here for manufacturers who do (it's an old list, but you get the idea):
    http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/products_cameras.htm
    - Really? Did you actually read the site? It has PRECIOUS information that illustrate my point: Adobe DNG is an attempt to stop the OpenSource community from achieving the goals of OpenRaw, which is TRUE OPENNESS, Again, Adobe is trying to get manufacturers to PAY LICENSING so they use a PROPRIETARY FORMAT that will HOLD CUSTOMERS on a PAID platform. OpenRaw is he answer for a true competitive environment.
    Ask yourself why other manufacturers don't use a documented backwards-compatible format.
    - Easy, because they are lazy and want kick-back. The SAME answer that I (and the entire OS community) would give if you asked about Acrobat or MS Office.
    If you use a particular piece of software as your main tool, and you buy a camera which isn't yet supported by it, it's your problem. There is an expression used in the industry:
    "Poor Planning on your part does not constitute an Emergency on my part."
    - I agree here, it's MY PROBLEM that I decided to have a better product, it was my choice. I can still use OS Tools, which will be what I do moving forward, and about that expression, that is EXACTLY why Adobe will keep loosing customers, because the sense of urgency to help who pays their bills is inexistent. You are correct, why should they rush something so simple to help a customer right? Screw the customer... Thanks for making my point...

    If you purchased a package then there should have been instructions in the box on how to submit your academic credentials. If you purchased online from Adobe then you should have received instructions in an e-mail. But here is a link that might help you. There is a link under Step 2 that will take you to a place where you can enter the information, I think.

  • I have a trial of CS6 Master Collection that has ran out and I bought a CS6 Production Pro do I have to uninstall Master collection first with all its scripts or can I just put the license in for Production Pro activating only those programes?

    The question is in the topic sorry.

    Suite licensing is specific and unlike with single programs just inputting the serial number won't cut it. You will have to uninstall the Master Collection and then install the Production Premium package.

  • Prepaid cell phone suggestion.... time that never runs out.

    when I pay for air time for the phone, it should not run out. if it takes me 2 months or 12 months to use up the time it should not matter. it's MY time, I paid for it. I should not have to spend more money to keep the phone running if it has time on it still.
    money is tight, I put 15 bucks a month on the phone only to keep it active... but never use all the time up each month. but im forced to add 15 bucks each month to prevent the phone from being shut off. this is not right in my view. if I buy airtime, I should be able to use it all before the phone is shut off. I paid for it.

    I pay monthly to use 700 minutes, and I NEVER use that many. Why should I have to keep paying each month if I don't use the minutes? Shouldn't I be able to start paying my monthly bill again when I use up all my minutes?
    Sounds silly from someone else, doesn't it? Because it's a silly idea. You pay for a service, whether you prepay or postpay - it's the same service.

  • Suddenly my trial version has run out. I swear I bought this software!

    I purchased aperture online in December of last year. I have installed all of the updates and have been using the software pretty regularly since then. I went on vacation for two weeks (my laptop was at the apple store getting a new LCD during that time), and when I got back and tried to open aperture, I got a message saying that my trial had run out, and it won't let me open the software.
    I tried deleting the license info file in the Library and then re-entering my serial number but that did nothing.
    Anyone ever seen this before? Any clues?
    thanks

    It's good to read Antoniad's post.  It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing.  However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested.  He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do.  I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing.  Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear.  I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad.  I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go.  The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon.  I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers.  Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account?  I don't know.  I have to find out.  If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

        Hi mnomi! Sorry to learn of the trouble you're running into with your new phone! Have you already switched the device via your My Verizon : http://vz.to/16lkVUY Once you have done this, and verify the sim card is inserted securely, the activation will begin. If the phone is stuck on the wheel and you cannot move forward, you may want to do an alternative reset. Please follow the below instructions:
    1) Ensure the device is powered off.
    2) Press and hold the Volume Down button (located on the right edge) until instructed to release in step 4.
    3) Press and hold the Power button (located on the top-right edge) until the device vibrates (approximately 2 seconds) then release.
    4) When the restore screen appears (exclamation mark), release the Volume Down button.
    5) From the restore screen, press then release the following keys to initiate the reset process:
    1. Volume Up button
    2. Volume Down button
    3. Power button
    4. Volume Down button
    *Allow several minutes for the process to complete (rotating gears appear on the display to indicate that the reset is in progress).
    If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. Keep us posted if this resolves your concerns. Thanks!

  • Help please. Bought a prepaid today with intent of transferring my number and it screwed me over.

    Long story short. I have a prepaid Tmobile number, horrible service. So I finally saved up, did my research, and was reaffirmed that I would INDEED be able to transfer my Tmobile number to my prepaid Verizon number. It said during the final checkout/activation process it would ask me if I wanted to port/transfer my number so I followed the entire process....waiting....waiting....then come to find out it gives me a new number. I check the community FAQS and it says that your number can still be transfered/changed after beginning with a new number, I go to follow the "change number" steps and it tells me that I am denied access, PLEASE HELP. I am desperate and do not want to keep tmobile but I refuse to be dicked aruond by verizon and have to go through switching my number for the 3rd time this year. Someone please tell me how I can keep my tmobile number, I do not want to transfer my number anymore and I am going to return this ****** phone if I cannot keep my current number.
    Thank you deeply in advance!

  • Are prepaid Verizon wireless customers treated like garbage?

    Good morning- recently I decided to switch my cell service back to Verizon after being with Straight talk for several years. Keep in mind that I used to have Verizon as my cell carrier but switched, since even with light usage, my bills were $80-90 a month. So I figure I will go prepaid and save some money. Apparently, that seems like a BIG mistake. I wanted to port my old # and put in the request at least 5 days ago... supposed to take 4-24 hours... still waiting after FIVE days!!! To make matters worse, I cannot make or receive calls on my new and old cell phones. I've tried calling but the issue has still not being resolved. WHY AM I PAYING FOR A NONEXISTENT SERVICE??? Note there are two customer service numbers, one general number and one for prepaid... yeah, this is looking like a fantastic relationship already

    Tell a CSR at VZW the next time you talk to one and it sounds as though you will be talking with at least one more maybe more, that you have not had any/0 service for how many ever days you have not had service and they should prorate your next statement with that.  I know when we have service interruptions where I live and we do have service interruptions here in rural New Mexico often because there is not redundancy to our any kind of service in this community.  They keep saying they are getting it but it is the same story every time there is a service outage we get prorated for the outage.  I will say that you may want to try turning your phone off again and taking the battery out and give it about 5 minutes put the battery back in and turn it on again.  If that don't get any changes I would go to a VZW corporate store and have a talk with them about the lack of service.
