Keep sprint number without breaking contract?

I received an iPhone for Christmas and figured it would be great timing because my Sprint contract expires in just a few days (the beginning of January). I have been a sprint member and have had the same phone number for the past four or five years. I know that I can keep my current phone number and transfer it to AT&T, but I've heard a lot of conflicting information. Most people are telling me that I have to cancel my sprint contract in order to keep the number. Others are saying wait till it runs out and you will still be able to use the number. I'm not sure what to do--is there any way to transfer my current phone number to a new AT&T account WITHOUT breaking my sprint contract? Will letting the contract expire still allow me to have the number? Like I said, it's up in a few days anyway and there's no way I want to pay $200 to break it.

You can port your number prior to the end of your contract, you must call Sprint and ask for a new number and let them know that your are porting your current number and that you are trying to do a change of responsibilty on the current service, you have 60 days to find a new customer, but if you don't find a new customer no big deal since your contract will expire before the 60 day period.

Keeping a number without a physical line

I am moving into rented accommodation in the same exchange area, and would like to keep my present number. But the owners of the rented house want to keep their number too. Is it possible for me to retain my number temporarily and receive calls on this new line? How - by using Call Divert, for example?

Hi
I have a number of virtual numbers that use the voice over IP technology.
There are many company's that offer voip, mine runs like a PAYG mobile inso far as I put £10 on my account and every call I receive that is diverted to my mobile costs around 10p a call. I pay no line rental as there is no physical line. If you have trouble sourcing a company send me an personal message and I can give you more details.

Cancel contract, keep phone number

We have two lines with Verizon. Due to the economy we have to discontinue being a part of the Verizon community. Phone number 1 (cheapy flip phone), completed contract in Feb 2014, phone number 2 is a personally owned iPhone 5 and is willing to pay the $175 to end the contract. I know phone number 1 will be able to keep phone number but what about phone number 2. I love Verizon however, the representatives when consulting with the Verizon store have not been completely honest with my in the past. I cannot afford to have this happen again. Can someone advise me on this, someone who really knows, is honest and does not work for Verizon just for a buck. PLEASE

Hello brianwendy007,
While your original posting requested a response from a non-Verizon employee, our commitment to your wireless happiness is what made me compelled to answer. You are too important to us to not provide any assistance. I have to ask, what's the reason for wanting to leave? While you stated that it was due to economical issues, we do have options available that I'm sure that you will love. If you are interested then please send me a private message so we can discuss. I took the liberty of following you so we can begin.
Thank you...

What is the best way to untangle myself from my parent's phone plan while keeping my number?

I know what I would like to accomplish I just need to figure out the correct steps to take. So the situation at present is that I have a line which is tied to my parents Verizon account that I would like to take over. However, I do not wish to alter my parents plan since they are grandfathered in for an unlimited data plan. Additionally, I am trying to start a new plan with my fiancé who does not currently have Verizon phone.
I have a series of questions so the answer to any of them would be greatly appreciated.
1) If do an assumption of liability for the line I currently use will it terminate my parents contract or result in any fees being charged to their account? Will they still have the same plan text, talk, data limitations? Will removing my line from their plan result in a price change for them (since it will be one less line on the plan) or will it remain the same because the plan they are enrolled in is no longer available?
2) If I assume liability for the line does that count as initiating a new 2-year contract? If it does can I add a new line to the plan at that point? I’m also curious if I’m I eligible for the new 2-year contract pricing on a new phone if I assume liability for the line?
3) Is my life going to be infinitely easier if we both just ditch our old numbers? Might it be a better (or even possible) alternative to get a new plan with 2 lines and port our old numbers? (Keeping in mind I don’t want to mess with my parents plan) For instance essentially trading the phone number I use on my parents line for whatever number is assigned the new plan I sign up for? And is it an incorrect assumption that my fiancé can keep her old number from Straight Talk?

Will removing my line from their plan result in a price change for them (since it will be one less line on the plan) or will it remain the same because the plan they are enrolled in is no longer available? The AOL will not result in any additional fees on your parents plan, and will simply remove your line, leaving the rest of their plan intact. The cost of your line will be dropped, as it is no longer part of the plan. If they still have the unlimited data, then it sounds like the Nationwide plan, so your line would be either $10 or $10 + $30 if you have a smartphone. That amount would simply drop off.
2) If I assume liability for the line does that count as initiating a new 2-year contract? No. Your contract remains the same as it was, with the same upgrade / contract end date. If it does can I add a new line to the plan at that point? I’m also curious if I’m I eligible for the new 2-year contract pricing on a new phone if I assume liability for the line? You can split off into your own plan, keep your number, and add a line for your fiance. You can port your fiance's number from Straight Talk to the new account. There's no reason to "ditch" your current numbers. In fact, by starting a new plan with a new number and cancelling your current number on your parents plan, WOULD result in an ETF if the # is still in contract. You would probably be eligible for 2 yr pricing on the new line for your fiance, and she likely would need a new phone to work on Verizon (ST may or may not work on a Verizon contract account, I'm not sure). Your line would carry over with the same eligibility it has now.

How do I move a .fm to another folder without breaking the .book cross-references?

Simplified situation:
I currently have mybook.book containing:
   chapter1.fm
   chap2.fm
   appendixA.fm
   apdxB.fm
I'd like to reorg the files such that mybook.book contains:
   chapters\chapter1.fm
   chapters\chap2.fm
   appendices\appendixA.fm
   appendices\apdxB.fm
If I move the files into folders with Windows Explorer, it will of course break the cross-references. I thought I could simply use right-click Rename on the file enteries within the book in FM to move them, but it won't allow the / or | chars. How can I accomplish this reorg without breaking the cross-references?
Thanks,
Dave

oh well, looks like I'll have to develop a procedure for the staff. Does anyone have any non-mif suggestions for a smooth procedure?
Not sure what the problem here is. You need neither a 3rd party plugin nor any MIF editing. Simply do it this way:
Create the required folders (chapters/appendices) within your current book folder
Open the book
Open the chapter files and do a "Save as" into the \chapter subfolder
Open the appendix files and do a "Save as" into the \appendices subfolder
Delete the book file entries and re-fill the book with the newly saved files
Every "Save as..." keeps xrefs intact, including the new path in the document's references. This reqires some steps, yes. But I think it's still better than doing edits to MIF files by someone who is not experienced doing this.
Edit: Sorry, it's not a easy as I thought. I forgot that this is done in several steps, and previously saved files don't recognize path changes of files saved afterwards. So this is no solution.

How to keep phone number on prepaid plan if you drop service for 1-2 months and then resume?

Impossible to get thru to Verizon chat for over 8 hours! :-(
When I signed up for prepaid plan on Iphone (49 monthly, no annual contract), I was told I could keep my phone number even if I dropped service for a month or two. Verizon would charge $100 to 'reserve' my phone number, so I would not lose the number - so they would not recycle it out to another phone.
I don't see where to pay the $100 and for this payment to be used for reserving the number so I dont lose it. Iff I add $100 it just looks like I paid for 2 months, I dont see a way for this to be applied to keeping the number. It would just be applied to the monthly amount.
And there is no way to get a live person on Chat :-(
Would really appreciate your help pls.
Loads of thanks,

At $49/month, I do not see the difference between just paying your monthly costs for 2 months and not using the phone or paying $100 to reserve your number. The end result is the same, but in the first you could always start using the phone if you needed it.
$100 to reserve a number for 2 months is just ridiculous.

Switch plans and keep my number?

I am currently on my family's shared plan, and I'm not sure if my contract is up or almost up, but I want to switch from my family's to my fiance's (still on verizon)... What is the easiest way to do this and still keep my number? Is it going to cost a ton to make the change? Thanks!

Your fiance needs to do an Assumption of Liability(AOL) for your line. There is no charge and you can keep your number.

Buying the iphone 4 without the contract?

Ok guys I am aware that the starting price without a contract is $599.99
but my question is; I want to buy the phone as a gift, I do not want to have to activate it. I called my local AT&T, and they said that I have to activate it when I make a purchase. Anyone have experience buying it as a gift or who knows a way around it?

HI,
Check here. iPhone / FAQ's
See number 2 at the bottom of that page.

Is there any way to add dynamic parameter in sql without breaking Server Behavior

Hello, i'm building multiple language site.. i would like to know if there is possible way to add dynamic parameter in my query, without break the server behavior.
For example:
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
will become something like this:
$additionalSQL=", article.articleName_en";
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc $additionalSQL FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
this is just an example, my real scenarion is far more complicated than this... however this kind of approach break the server behavior and force to do hand-coding...
i would like to know if there's better way to do such thing like this...

Server behaviors are simply bits of boilerplate code automatically generated by Dreamweaver. Editing the code doesn't "break" it (unless your edits are badly written). However, once you edit the code, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes it, so you lose the ability to drag recordset results from the Bindings panel.
If you want to edit server behavior code, the best way to handle it is to lay out your page as you want, using the Bindings panel. Once everything has been done, only then edit the server behavior code.

WARNING Do not buy VERIZON MFI without a contract

Last year I bought a Verizon MIFI device without a contract. I paid the higher price for the device because I intended to use it only seasonaly.
When I suspended the service in may this year the verizon website did not offer an option for customers without a contract. I could choose between a 30 day suspension with billing thereafter or a 3 month suspension without billing. My intention was to not use the device because we would be staying in Canada for 5-6 months. So none of the given options applied to me. It was clear to me that both options would only apply to customers with a contract. So I choose the one month option, assuming that billing would result in $0,00 bills or no bills at all, since I indeed did not use the device.
When I today logged in to my account I was horrified to discover that a $400 bill had been racked up. I do not feel any legal obligation to pay this bill, as I do not have any contract. Speaking to customer service today did not help as Verizon says they will continue to demand that bill be paid. I can only warn other customers against trying to use MIFI seasonal. Verizon seems only to accept a 3 month suspension even without having a contract!!!

They did not sign a contract, they merely selected a plan.
Straight Talk is not an Apple approved carrier but as you have already pointed out with some finagling an iPhone can be made to work on that network.
No one knows when (or if) Apple is going to sell an unlocked iPhone.
If you purchase the NON-CONTRACT AT&T model, sign up for a plan, and Restore it as new after it initializes you will get the message "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked". Then you can cancel your AT&T plan (you are not on contract so there is no ETF) and move the phone to Straight Talk.
Or you can wait for Apple to sell an unlocked iPhone in the US.
Or you can go to Canada and get an unlocked iPhone.

Is your home button damaged on broken? Try closing apps in the multitasking bar (press the home button 2x times)
Reset (Hold both buttons till the iPod restarts - no data will be deleted) and restore it (all data will be deleted - full restore!)
If that ain't helping, take it to an Apple Store.

Mac pro keeps shutting down without warning

I have a 15 inch Macpro running Mac OS X Lion, version 10.7.3. It keeps shutting down without any warning. The screen just goes black and I have to press and hold the power button for a while till a hear a sound to turn the system off. This is happening like, more than 5 times a DAY. Please help, any suggestions are welcome.

Dose this issue happen when the computer is plugged in? or only when it's unplugged from power?
Have you checked for software updates? if so, have you installed all the updates? (apple menu, software update, install updates, reboot, repeate untill there are no more updates)
If the issue is happening while power is plugged in, have you tried a SMC Reset and NVRAM Reset?
Is there any thing externaly connected to the computer besides power? if so, haveyou tried removing those items; to see if the issue only happens while those devices are connected?
Do you know if yoru MacBook Pro has a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT? (apple menu, about this mac)
Do you have any kind of keyboard cover? if so, have you tried removing the keyboard cover, dose the issue still happen?
You could also try running an Apple Hardware Test. If it give you any error codes; I would suggest writing down the exact error message it displays.
Also it might be a good idea to set the graphic card to run on the high end card; and see if the issue still happens. (apple menu, system prefrences, energy saver, At the top there should be a check box along the lines of use best graphic performance at all time, check this box)

How do I use a path as an argument without breaking the -classpath option?

How do I use a path as an argument without breaking the -classpath option?
I have the following Korn Shell Script:
#!/bin/ksh
    CSVFILE=/EAIStorageNumbers/v1/0001/weekly05222006.csv
    OUTPUTFILE=/EAIStorageNumbers/v1/0001/08000000.txt
    PAGEMBR=0800F341
    cd /EAIStorageNumbers/v1/bin/
    java -classpath com.dtn.refinedfuels.EAIStorageNumbers $CSVFILE $OUTPUTFILE $PAGEMBRWhen I run the shell script, I return the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /EAIStorageNumbers/v1/0001/weekly05222006/csv
Thus, the -classpath option sees the first argument as a classpath. When I remove the -classpath option, I get a different error, which is another issue:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: au/com/bytecode/opencsv/CSVReader
at com.dtn.refinedfuels.EAIStorageNumbers.main(Unknown Source)
Thoughts or suggestions on how I can get the -classpath option to work with the defined Korn Shell Script variables would be greatly appreciated.

I think you're misunderstanding the classpath argument. This tells java where to look to find your classes. The argument you're supplying looks like the class that you want java to run. Run something like this: java -classpath $MY_CLASS_DIR my.package.MyClass arg1 arg2 arg3.
