If your phone has been flashed to Boost mobile, does Apple still provide care or does that void out the warranty?

I have to leave the plan I am on so I thought about just switching carriers, but a friend suggested that I flash my phone to Boost mobile. However, I am not sure I want to do that because I am not 100% sure that I'd be able to walk into an Apple store and receive help.

Changing the carrier to which your iPhone is assigned, without the carrier's approval, is not only a violation of your contract with the carrier, which may have civil liability penalties, it also is an unauthorized modification of your iPhone, which voids any and all support from Apple, for anything related to your iPhone.

  • On iTunes, while I will be putting a previous back up on my new 6, an error message saying '"your phone has been disconnected" will appear, but my phone will still be connected and nothing has been touched

    I need help.  I have tried it with the cord that came with my 6, as well as my iPad mini cord, and no matter what cord i use, it still shows "your phone has been disconnected", and no one is disconnecting the cord.

  • "Please wait until your phone has been activated"

    I got a refurbished phone from Asurion and it took a while to activate originally. I was able to connect to wifi, add a google account, start updating some apps. I restarted the phone and now its stuck on "Please wait until your phone has been activated" I used the sim card that was included with the phone from the larger red card. Is there any way to reset it or activate it now?

    Snn5 speaks the truth, your sim will need to be activated. If you are the kind of person who prefers to do things on your own, though, there is one more option. If you've already created a myVerizon account, sign in to that, and there will be a box around the top middle that will ask you what it is that you want to do. In this box, type "activate or switch device" and it will lead you through the process.

  • HT201365 Does find my phone have a history that shows where your phone has been like in the last 24-72 hours?

    Does find my phone have a history that shows where your phone has been like in the last 24-72 hours?

    All you may infer is the device hasn't been turned on where it can connect to Wi-Fi.
    The phone may be jailbroken if there is no lock passcode to prevent access. However, the phone can be completely erased and restored as new. In this case you will have no ability to locate it or prevent it from being jailbroken.

  • I am using Iphone 5. Since the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal

    I am using Iphone 5. SInce the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal or the other way is to turn the device off and then turn it on. the phones also running slow and therefore at times becomes very cumbersome. a few of my friends have also been having the same problems.
    I have taken the phone to the service outles but the best they did was to reboot the phone it works fine for a day or two but again the same issue.
    Can anyone share any info on it?

    I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and  friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.

  • Our records indicate that your phone has been replaced??

    I am trying to get some support for my iphone 3g, and when I entered the serial number I got this message:
    Our records indicate that this product has been replaced. Please provide your product's replacement serial number to find its support and warranty coverage information. For more information, please contact us.
    I bought this phone brand new from an AT&T store and it has never been replaced. Any ideas why I would get this message?

    Call Apple and ask.

  • TS3992 does icloud back up work if your phone has been deactivated?

    the apple store guy told me it would but the progress bar doesn't seem to be moving

    If you have jailbroken your iPhone then yes the hacking software would be backed up.
    If you haven't jailbroken your iPhone then you haven't been hacked.

  • "Microsoft" calls to tell you that your PC has been hacked

    I just got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. He told me that my computer was infected. 
    He said that Microsoft knew that the PC was hacked because of the error reports I chose to send them when the pop up came up.
    You probaly have seen the ones like this.
    This was ineresting since I know that no personal information goes to Microsoft when you send the error reports.
    Knowing that ther are a large number of scams like this, I asked for the phone number to call them back. He said that he would call me back. Then after pushing some more he gave me a bunch a random numbers.
    If you look at Microsoft's Forum and the have a thread called "Phone warnings from 'Microsoft.'"
    Bascially, Mircosoft didn't call me to warn me that my PC was hacked. Someone was fishing trying to get acess to my PC.
    If you get a call, beware.

  • Stop the "thank you; your message has been sent"

    I have a interview handler/voicemail account setup to gather information from customers. I wanted to add my own closing statement instead of the standard "thank you; your message has been sent"; I added a call handler to play my own greeting and then configured the interview handler to transfer to the call handler and then hang up, but before it gets to the call handler, it still plays the "thank you...". How can I stop that from playing?
    Randy

    That prompt is actually associated with the message recording converation which is used by call handlers, subscriber and interviewers - you can't turn off the prompt for just one specific interview handler.
    You can turn it off system wide by replacing the promot in question with a silent (empty) prompt, but this would then remove that prompt in all cases where a message recording was terminated.
