IPhone 6 upgrade question - swapping phones?
Have an iPhone 5 with my line being eligible for upgrade, but want to trade in my husband's 4S (not eligible for upgrade until 11/14). Is this possible? Do we need to swap phones before I do this?
Hmmm? Interesting dilema - I see your concern.
Here is the statement/question regarding the trade-in directly from the Vzn website. The terms say you can trade in ANY iphone from any carrier - so it doesn't have to be the phone that is being upgraded.
Are you purchasing a new Apple iPhone 6 or Apple iPhone 6 Plus with Verizon Wireless and submitting a trade-in request for an iPhone (4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S) that is in good working condition?

iPhone 4 upgrade to 7.2 has locked phone . can't open can't unlock and stalled in the middle of the upgrade.help
Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, shown here:

Hello,
Please forgive me if this specific question has been asked before; I haven't seen any exactly like mine. I believe I am not eligible to upgrade (I bought my iPhone 3GS on launch date last year) but I cannot check until I visit a apple retail store because I don't have an access code to see my account information on the mywireless section of the ATT website. I would like to purchase the iPhone 4 and keep my 30$ a month unlimited data plan. So, this is what I would like to know:
What options do I have if I want the new iPhone 4 with the $30/m Unlimited Data Plan I have now without switching to the new data plan(s) and I am not eligible to upgrade? Thanks in advance.EChavez530 wrote:
I have someone that wants to purchase my iPhone 3GS so I could put the money towards my new phone. If I do sell my phone during the time I wont have an iPhone period, will I be able to keep my data plan an a different phone? Even it's not a smart phone? And when I do get the iPhone 4 what must I do to transfer my plan to that phone?
You can put your 3G S sim card in another ATT phone and it will automatically become your present number. Therefore, you can sell your present phone anytime you want. Just don't include the sim card with it. When you get your new phone (if you haven't done anything about requesting one of the new data plans), you should automatically get the same unlimited plan.
The unlimited data plan is nice, but unless ATT changes their minds and allows tethering with the unlimited plan, I think it's of questionable value UNLESS you spend a LOT of time streaming video (read mlb.com or youtube) on a daily basis or streaming music (read pandora.com or sirius).
For the present, I'm keeping my unlimited plan, but over the last 6 months, I'm only averaging about 1.5GB monthly. And that's mostly because I steam the Sirius App about 45-60 minutes daily while I'm walking. I would lean toward going with the 2GB plan IF ATT would kick up the monthly limit to say 5GB for tethering. I don't see myself doing a lot of tethering, but the 2GB would not cut the mustard for me unless I were to give up my Sirius App. -
Yesterday, I pre-ordered (online) 2 iPhone 6's. We are upgrading from our old iPhone 4. I realize the new 6 will use a sim card where the 4 did not. Will the new phones come with the sim card installed or will I need to go to the Verizon store and get them?
Thank you!!
TerriThe phone should come with the SIM card pre-installed. If there is not one in the phone or in the box, you can get one free at a corporate Verizon store, or have one mailed to you. Some authorized reseller and third party vendors will charge for a SIM card; Verizon does not charge anything for the SIM card.

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.
Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

If I upgrade my 3G phone now, but in 6 months want iPhone LTE, will I still get subsidized device?
Basically, I have a Galaxy S on its last leg. I have unlimited text and data as part of my plan.
I want an iPhone, and I'm eligible to get a subsidized upgrade in 5 days. HOWEVER, Verizon has already said that sometime this summer, they are doing away with unlimited data, so it would behoove me to upgrade my phone NOW so that I maintain my unlimited data.
BUT, in 5-6 months, the new iPhone will come out and "more likely than not" be LTE.
Verizon has said that they will basically try to force everyone to move to LTE anyways, which requires a brand new contract, meaning I'll lose my unlimited data anyways.
So my question is:
I need a new phone. My Samsung won't even charge half the time...
So, if i 5 days (May 30) I get an iPhone4S, that will obviously extend my current contract.
If in September/October, Apple announces a 4G LTE iPhone, could I get that phone at the subsidized price?
I ask this because getting a 4G phone requires a 4G contract, meaning that Verizon will cancel my 3G service contract and sign me up under their 4G contract. So technically, wouldn't I be a pseudo "new" customer at the point, and qualify for the subsidized device prices?
If not, I'll just wait the 5+ months for the new iPhone, but if I would qualify for the subsidized LTE device even if I upgrade my device in 5 days, then I'll do it that way so that I can finally bury this phone.
Thanks
PeteAs you have mentioned, you will be in a unique situation when the 3G unlimited data switch occurs.
Currently if you were already on 4G and you wanted the 4S now, you would not be able to then buy the LTE in 6 months with a discount.
It looks as though you can keep your unlimited data if you choose to pay the full retail price for a new phone. Will have to see if that makes sense for you.
Below is the the latest information I've seen on the move:
Here are the exact statements:
Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so.
When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing.
Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan.
The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones. -
I want to preorder the iPhone 5s. My personal phone number is not eligible for an upgrade yet, but my day's phone number is. He says that I can use his upgrade. On September 20, 2013 when the online preorder begins, am I able to preorder a phone for myself with my dads number and use it with my own number? How does it all work?
Most carriers will allow you to swap phones between numbers without a problem. Swapping will not change the contract on the number that the phone was ordered for. Nor will it affect eligibility for future upgrades. Of course the "swap" will normally need to be done with phones on the same carrier and is probably easier to do when on the same account.
I do this every year, or rather every other year. I am the techie, my wife not so much. So when the new iPhone comes out, I get it for which ever number is eligible for upgrade and have it activated to my number and then activitate my old phone to her number. I usually go to the phone company store (AT&T in my case) as they have new sims on hand and usually need to use at least one. -
I have just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now have no music or apps on the phone. Contacts, texts, photos all fine. Just all itunes content that is missiing. It isn't showing in my itunes account on my computer or on my phone. Any idea how to get it back? (No point synching with itunes on my computer as it isn't there either!)
I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one. -

I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (Games, Instagram), would my pics show up on Instagram and would my Games show it was saved and the acccomplisments will remain from the last place I left out.

Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new... -
I have a local carrier number, if i by a contract-free iPhone 6 can i swap the T-mobile sim that will be in the phone with my local carrier sim? in other words, IS the contract-free iphone also unlocked so it can be used with any carrier?
The T-mobile phone is advertised to be SIM-free. This does NOT mean unlocked. Unlocked iPhone 6's are not yet for sale in the US.

i have an iphone 4 with 4.3.2 version, want to upgrade but my phone is not getting detected on my comp on itunes. i want to upgrade it to the latest version of the software, please help
If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US is the article to use if you want to concentrate on trying to get a particular computer to recognize your phone -
