If I port my number to a different carrier what would be my ETF fee?

The acct. says 4/12/13 is the contract end date.

If you last upgraded a basic phone on that line and you cancel today, your ETF would be $70. If you last upgraded a smartphone on that line and you cancel today, your ETF would be $140.
The formula for ETF is:
Smartphone $350 -$10 for each month of your contract you have completed.
Basic phone $175 - $5 for each month of your contract you have completed.

I bought an iPhone 5 from the Apple store with a new Sprint contract in Sept. 2012. I would like to know if I port my number to T-mobile and pay off my Early Termination fee with Sprint, will my iPhone 5 will be unlocked to use with T-mobile network?

As Ethmoid says, it is still a CDMA phone as I told you earlier, and it will not work with t-mobile. Even if Sprint unlocked the phone, it would only unlock the GSM side for international use. They will not unlock the GSM side for domestic use in the US.

How do I port a number from a different service provider to Verizon?

I have a work cell phone and a personal phone. I want to port my work number to my personal Verizon iphone. What do i need to do to do this? And what information will I need to provide?

Knowing your options is important SR84. Is your work number a current Verizon Wireless mobile number? If not, the process you would take is called an LNP Port in Telephone Number Change. For additonal information click, http://vz.to/1jogjzV

My Skype number shows up different than what I pur...

my friends can call me with the number i purchased but when I call them its a different number????

661CALLER-My SKYPE# callerID changed twice to 661+7different digits, when calling my spouse. It said Palmdale area on his cell with the accompanying#. I asked where he was when I called, he was next to a particular store both times on separate days. I am not from California which is the area code 661 Palmdale area-so possibly a SKYPE friend calling you-unknowingly being assigned a different #, because of a different LOCATION on your part or possibly theirs. I was told they patch in #'s typically a California area code another ex. 559. He answered the calls even with the odd area code & answered in a hesitant voice, then told me it said Palmdale when I called-fyi-my location was consistent for a year laptop on kitchen table-he was traveling to costco store both times when happened-Call was normal just different caller ID both times.

Porting a Verizon number from a family plan to a different carrier

Hello everyone,
Basically, I have a line with Verizon under a family plan, I am not the owner of that plan, but I am looking to port my number to T-mobile since I don't think that the price-service ratio is not fair for the mediocre service that I get.
I was wondering if I would be able to port my number even if I am not the owner of the family plan. I only have a few months left until the contract terminates, and I am willing to pay the ETF.
I also wanted to know if the owner would have to be involved during the porting process, since I would not like to bother the plan owner to complete this action.
Lastly, my billing cycle ends the 26th of each month, when do you think I should start the process in order to not pay the bill for the following month?
Thank you very much for your help, I greatly appreciate all your responses and I apologize in advanced for the amount of questions, but I am new to this and just want the entire process to go as smooth as possible.
Thanks again.

How to port phone number from verizon?

I have signed up with a different carrier. I have/had a pre-paid monthly plan with verizon. I want to port my phone number and close my account. But somehow I can not reach anyone live on the phone to do so. There is no webpage place for this either.
thank you

You need the carrier to imitate the port. You can't call Verizon and have it done.

How to port a number from a Family Share plan?

This is my situation. I am the Account Owner on a Family Share plan with 2 lines. My husband is an Account Manager. I know I need to do an Assumption of Liability to make my husband the Account Owner and he will be able to keep his number and change his plan. I believe my number would then be a 2nd line on his account. I then want to port my number to an MVNO Prepaid service. Can I do this and keep my number and not affect my husbands service with Verizon? We have had our numbers for years and do not want to lose them. Our contract date is ending in 3 weeks and I will be waiting until we are month to month before porting out my number.

Nope makes no difference. He will tell Verizon Wireless he wants the account and the will pay the monthly charges. You then tell Verizon its OK to give the account and line etc. to him.
In certain cases when the run the credit check on the other person there may be a deposit required to have that service transferred.
Good Luck

How do I port a number from Sprint?

I just signed up for Verizon yesterday with an individual line, and need to port my number from Sprint (also an individual line). What number do I need to call?

Good morning tommaxwell,
Welcome to our happy wireless family! We LOVE welcoming new members to Verizon! Since a cell phone is one of few things that we keep within reach at all times, I can certainly understand the benefits of keeping your current number! Some of these benefits are:
• No new number to remember
• No need to contacts friends, family member, and associates for a contact update.
• No unnecessary expense of printing new business cards and other stationeries.
May I ask have you started the port process yet? If not then it will be my pleasure to assist! First, I would like to provide a link to some frequently asked questions, http://bit.ly/qDhvBY. Once you are ready to start the process then you can send me a direct message with your full name, contact number, and a brief summary of the task at hand. I took the liberty of following you and it is pending your approval. I look forward to hearing from you my friend!
Thank you…

How to port a number and how long it takes to take effect

We've seen these questions come up a bit, so here's a brief summary A "port" is when you switch your phone service to Telstra from another provider but would like to keep your phone number You can do this in a Telstra shop (shops can be located and appointments be made here https://www.telstra.com.au/telstra-store, or over the phone by ringing 125 111 Once a port request is made, Telstra gets in touch with the other carrier. Whilst a request can be submitted anytime, the actual processing between carriers only happens during business hours. The process can take up to 48-72 hours, but it can also be much quicker - it depends on both carriers Hope this helps.

Hi,I want to port my old phone number from Three to Telstra. I signed a new iphone with Telstra several months ago, at that time, my Three mobile was still in contract, but Telstra sales told me I can porting my number when I finish my three contract . Now my Three contract has finished, but when I call Telstra call centre, after one hour waiting, they told me need go to shop to do it. and then I went to shop, shop guy told me they don't have system to do it, I still need call customer service!!!! and I made a call at shop, waited for 40 mins no one answer!!!!!!!! today, I used online 24X7 support. Support told me I can't do it !!!!!!If I want to port old number, I need have another Telstra mobile service!!! and I need pay my current service as well!!!!!!!!I can't believe it!!!!!! It's very not professional!!! I already done porting with Optus , Three and Vodaphone many times at the same situation, they don’t have such ridicules rules!!!! I really don’t want to waste hours and hours again on waiting queue!Please help me out this issue soon. Before I thought Telstra is the best one in Aus, so I transfer all things to Telstra, phone, internet, mobile phones.Now feel like the service even worse than those small companies. Very not happy!!!!

I bought an iPhone 4S at a supplier who uses Talkmobile. When I switched to GiffGaff and asked the Talkmobile people to port my number and the code which they gave me, they told me my iPhone was never locked and did not need to be unlocked. Now my GiffGaff seems to be up and running and my husband can even leave new voicemail messages but I cannot access my phone. Everytime I put the SIM in it says it's not a valid SIM and that I need a supported carrier SIM. To me that sounds like the phone is locked.

My husband (who set this up) is going over to Carphone Warehouse right now. He seemed to think that it was locked. But when we asked the carrier we picked, they said it was not locked so they could not unlock it.
Are all of you answering these questions familiar with the UK carriers? I am from the US but this was bought and serviced in the UK--nothing to do with the US.
Maybe the vendor who sold the phone can/will unlock it for us no problem. I guess I will know in the next 5-6 hours. I have just been without a phone for almost an entire day now and it's very frustrating and I thought someone might have had this exact problem and could answer the question for me outright.
Thanks for everyone's help. Sorry to take up your time.

Have you been successful porting your number and keeping unlimited data?

Hi , I am trying to save money by getting rid of my texting plan($20) and having Google Voice as my SMS provider. I want to keep my number so I will port my number to GV. For a 1-time fee of $20. The Problem is that during the process some people lose their UNLIMITED DATA package. I, of course don't want this to happen. I have searched the interwebs and found that this forum had the good information on it.
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/779321?start=0&tstart=0
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/779321?start=80&tstart=0
See post # 3 and # 85 for detailed instructions. I was in the process of doing it but Google Wallet denied my transaction because I needed to verify my account. This process takes 3 days. So I will wait and try again. I would like to know if the rest of the verizon community has been succesful or has regretted doing this.
I feel that this process should work and would like to keep this discussion open so other people can do the same. We all know sms and voice mins are cheap and carriers are just milking money from data plans.
PS. I felt # 85 was really straight forward
Joined the community to thank the OP - and to add in another success story. Before I start my 'experience share', I think its pertinent to mention that I have the Galaxy S4 [Android]
Started the GV Port on Monday at about 3PM. Provided GV with personal details, phone number, billing PIN (you can set one up or change your current PIN on the VZW website after logging on to your account) and my account number (excluded the -00001 after my account number as suggested by other posters on this thread). Google charged me $20 to complete the port.
On Tuesday morning, approximately at about 11AM, I logged into my VZW account and requested a new number (VZW's website states that this process is free if done online). At this time, my GV Port status showed "Number Change Pending". Once the new number was assigned to me by VZW (the number is issued instantly), I had to turn my phone off and wait a few minutes before turning it back on. When I turned my phone back on, it showed that the new number was active (no VZW notifications - just tried a test call from my landline).
Almost 24 Hours down to the minute (so at about 3PM on Tuesday), I got an email from GV stating that my port was complete. On the GV website, I then added in my new number (under Settings>Phones), and set all calls (and texts) to forward to my new number. GV walked me through a couple of programming steps - and confirmed that my GV calls would be forwarded to my new VZW number. Please note that if you want GV to pick up your VM's, then you will need to activate Google voicemail on the GV website (Settings>Phones). Else, VZW voicemail will end up picking up your calls - and a message like "this user has a VM box that has not been set up" will play.
I also opened up the GV app on my phone and changed the settings to "Make all calls through Google Voice". Also, I turned off the 'Messaging' app, and set the GV app as the default app for handling all texts.
As of now, I can make and receive calls via the setup described above. Folks receiving calls from me see my GV number on their displays (so no need to update folks with my new number), and when I receive calls on my GV number, my VZW phone displays the number of the person trying to reach me (so no updating my contacts list). Low priced international calls, desktop-based texting, unlimited storage of texts/VM's/call-logs, here I come!
My texts arent working yet, but GV states that it takes about 3 days before texting becomes active. When it does, I'm hoping that all texts will be routed via the GV app (I'm fairly certain that it will)
Other things to note:
Banking Apps: Some banking apps that require verification codes to be sent via text might stop working. I just got an email from BOFA this morning asking me to reverify my mobile number. Need to fix this once GV texting becomes active
Messaging: Existing texts on your device cannot be backed up/imported into GV. That said, Google Play has a couple of free apps that backup your entire message archive under a separate label within your Gmail account
Hope this helps someone else out there in taking the plunge. Seems like the process is fairly straightforward unless you decide to skip some steps or if you are impatient and try to change things too quickly (I would really urge you against skipping steps, hurrying things up, etc. GV is completely automated, and getting "support" is almost impossible).
All the best!"

You won't lose your unlimited data as long as your account stays active and you don't purchase a subsidized phone. I just did this yesterday and it took just a few minutes over 24 hours to port my number over to GV. I still have unlimited data. I pretty much followed the instructions you have above except I waited about 7 hours to get a new number from VZW just to make sure there were no hiccups. VZW says you may get some overages if you change your number immediately as opposed to on the first day of your billing cycle because they prorate your minutes and texts used. Luckily I have unlimited everything so it didn't make a difference for me. I'm planning on going over to T-Mobile. My home is a dead zone for cell phones and I always have a weak signal and sometimes don't get my calls. I figure if I'm going to pay for an unsubsidized phone, I might as well go with a company that has wifi calling and a cheaper unlimited plan. I pay $94/mo before taxes with VZW; I'll only be paying $59.50 with T-Mobile for the same plan with 2.5 GB tethering included. T-Mobile here in LA is pretty good and even if I don't get LTE, I can fall back on their HSPA+ network, which is way better than VZW's crippled 3G network. No regrets porting over. The ONLY way I'll stay with VZW is if they allow me to keep my unlimited data (not going to do Verizon Max) and get a subsidized phone. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW VERIZON?

Charges with Tmobile if you port a number. I was misinformed.

I was not informed by Verizon that when I opened this account that I would be charged a whole billing cycle with my prior cell provider which was Tmobile. In fact the people at Verizon where I purchased the plan told me I did not need to do anything. First off I believe it is improper that T-mobile had my billing Cycle from the 8th to the 8th but had my contract ending on the 16th. I believe their portability charges to be in fact thievery and anyone consorting with them to be guilty of Racketeering on a large scale because no one can escape the full billing with Verizon telling you that you need to do nothing to transport the phone number to a new phone and then Tmobile sitting on the port completion until the 8th of the following month. Verizon told me I needed to do nothing that the porting was their business and they would complete it in a day. I was under the impression at worst I could be billed for 10 days.
   Anyway today is the 15th of October 2011 and I just paid a 127.38 cent bill at Tmobile who's customer support rubbed my nose in the fact that I could do nothing about Tmobile effectively stealing somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 dollars from me. Yes the bill gave me a breakdown of 24 dollars for the eight days and then billed me on September 16th the day that my service contract terminated for 69 bucks and change. I do not intend to let this go as this wording done by Tmobile to permit them to do this was done in 2010 while I was burying a family member and arranging probate and such. I was not fully informed by Verizon but people here need to know that unless you call Tmobile when you switch the pain of being shorted what I consider to be a serious amount of money will be exactly what will happen to you. I have not finished as well because these are what I consider to be intentional damaging charges by Tmobile after not missing a bill and employing them for eight years faithfully. This is what you get for being faithful. It even says it on my bill. Faves unlimited Loyalty plan.
   There were a couple reasons I cancelled them. The main reason is that Tmobile has no coverage anywhere off an interstate or the edge of nearly any town in Wyoming for instance. They could not meet my demands. The other reason and I am sure there are literally thousands more people who had this happen. I had no text plan with Tmobile. They sent me numerous text messages themselves which I had all text messages set to blocked. Then they had the gall to charge me for their messages they sent me. That itself should spark an investigation to see where they keep the other set of books. Yeah the ones that are not cooked.
   So as of today I was made aware by their so called customer service that because I did not call them on September the 16th when I had Verizon take my business that I am not only responsible for an additional 70 dollars in charges but they tell me this with great joy and a daring tone. The people that sold me the plan said that I did not need to do anything and I would be fine as long as my contract was up that day with Tmobile. I am here to tell everyone that is not so according to Tmobile and I have a bill and a receipt along with a T&C quote to file with my now permanent dislike for Tmobile because this action lacks full disclosure and in fact I was mislead apparently unknowlngly by Verizon. I just thought everyone should know that while I was being told by the salesman there would be no problem and my wife was saying I should not worry that you should always worry and being in a tough economic situation right now has me quite **bleep**. I have told consumer affairs and next I am seeking anyone who can make a valid ruling on the obvious theft of my money both through the charges of messaging when it was blocked and clearing my portability on the 16th yet intentionally charging me through October 07th 2011 .

... That's all on you and has nothing to do with the carriers in this regard. YOU agreed to their terms when you got service. I ported a number over from T-Mobile myself and that's how it is and it says so in their Terms and service which YOU and I agreed to. I assume you haven't read it completely like you say you have. It's in there, and always been in there.

HT1311 My phone number shows a different number in the contacts page instead of mine,how do I change it?

My phone number shows a different number in the contacts my number section. How do I change it as I cannot even load airtime

You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
You should obviously have different passwords.

Can I port a number that's out of contract to another phone?

Can I port the number from my iphone 5s when it's out of contract in a few weeks, and place it on a iphone 6 that's already bought on a new line and cancel the line?

Then why couldn't you wait the few weeks until your current account is eligible for the upgrade and not have this hassle? In it was announced yesterday if your contract ends before 2014/11/15, you could have upgraded early for the two year contract price.
Now you have to wait until your contract date and port the number you want to another carrier, start a plan there and turn around and cancel the other carrier plan by porting the preferred number on top of the temporary phone number you got when you purchased the iPhone 6. It is more hassle then it is worth. I should know as I have done something very similar three years ago.

In the info bar at the bottom of the iphoto window, why is the number of items different from the total

In the info bar at the bottom of the iphoto screen, why is the number of items different from the total?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? What mode are you in, i.e. Events, Photos?
If it's the Photos mode the number at the bottom will represent the number of photos displayed in that mode or the number of photos selected in that mode. The number will match the number next to the photos mode only when there are no photos in that mode that are selected.
If you click on the Events icon and then back on the photos icon the numbers should match.

If I port my number to a different carrier what would be my ETF fee?
