Mother passed away, how to close account & what to do with iPhone 5 S?

Hello,
My dear mother passed away back in July 2013.  Since then, we had no idea who's name her iPhone 5 S account was in.  We assumed in my dad's name.  Anyway, I kept making the payments and until recently discovered the account is in my deceased mother's name.
As I can no longer afford to pay the $90.00 a month, what should I do to close this account?  Whom do I mail at Verizon Wireless a death certificate? 
Also, do we keep the iPhone 5 S, or we must send it back?
I noticed the 2 year contract comes up October 2014. 
I tried to find a real email address or Contact Us form, but just couldn't.  So, I'm here.
Thank you for any assistance and your time.

This seems pretty easy. Either call CS at *611 or 800-922-0204 or stop in to a Verizon corporate store. Inform them your mother has passed away, that she is the account owner and you would like to close the account. You may have to bring the death certificate. If they try to collect an ETF, simply let them. You are not responsible for it as the account is not in your name. Since you are the one paying the bills, they will obviously not be able to collect the ETF.
Sorry for your loss.

    To recover it at this point you need to restore it using the computer it was last backed up to. This will remove the passcode.

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    If no joy...
    Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

    Cannot activate ipad because myy fiance' who passed away had it connected to find my iphone and cloud
    I have his ipad ID but not his mail password.  I cannot get past security questions such as what was your first car, etc.
    No help from the Genius Bar at Orlando Millenia Mall or call to Apple Care.
    Any suggestions?
    I was using this for a year without problems until I decided to have it wiped and get my name on account for downloads from Itunes.

  • I can't figure out how to close my apps on my 4s iPhone?I came from a 3g- and it is apprently

    How do I close my apps on my 4s Iphone?  I just switched from a 3g (way behind the times i know)

    CLOSING APPS
    Double tap the home button then on the multitasking ribbon at the bottom of the screen hold one of the app icons until a minus sign appears and then tap the minus sign for all the apps you want to close.  When done tap home button once. There are some misconceptions that open apps consume battery power. This is generally incorrect. Read: http://speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
    For iOS 7 double tap home button and then swipe up on the previews of the apps you want to close and then tap the preview of the home or the home button once when finished closing apps.

  • How does Apple decide 'what's hot' among iphone apps?

    How does Apple decide what to list in its "what's hot" section of the iphone application store? I assume there is some hard coded logic behind that phrase.

    Sorry, but Apple never discloses how they choose those sorts of features.

  • How to find quickly what's wrong with the performance of a BW Query?

    Hi All,
    After a long time, I had to work on performance tuning of a query, Version BI 7.0 EHP 1, SP7.
    Compression in done, BI Stats are running, showing that OLAP time is high almost 70%, compared to 20% DB Read time.
    Aggregates cannot be created due to the nature of the cube, BIA is out of scope.
    How to find quickly, step by step, what's wrong with a particular query.
    Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards,
    - Shashi

    Hi Sashi ,
    1. OLAP time is more, you need to  increase OLAP cache, you have different options for the query in RSRT t-code..
    Select properties which makes to store the query result set in OLAP Cache for permanent.
    Doc for the same :

    2.Use only less no of Characteristics in the initial report. Place remaining in Free characteristics.
    3.You need to check the query .It cmod code exist for any variable or your query have lots of navigational attributes then try to check for code efficiency .
    4.If Front End time more then try to avoid the more characteristics in displaying the query result.
    5.Use authorization objects on queries if possible .That will reduce data amount .
    6.Use query read mode and  global structures as when possible.

  • How Can I Use Bluetooth For Sharing With iPhones?

    Hello, i have an iPod touch 3rd Gen. 32GB, And I'm Wondering How Could I Share Music or Photos With My Cousin's iPhone (Jailbroken iPhone), When I Turn The Bluetooth On, Nothing Shows Up On My iPod Or On Here iPhone,
    So How Could I Share Things With Her I Have ''File Share'' And ''Bump'' Apps
    So what should I Do???

    You can't share music over air or by Bluetooth because of several reasons of which is understandable by apple. Apple doesn’t provide any way for you to copy files from your iPod back to your Mac/ between iPods or iPhones. While there are legitimate reasons for blocking bi-directional copying— which again the word music piracy comes to the mind
    The only thing that I heard that you could share with iPhone to iPhone/ iPod touch is photos&contacts an app called "bump" and "Bluetooth photo share". With those applications you and your friend can share photos/phone contacts and other kind of files.
    "Bump" application link below:

  • How can I sync my outlook calendar with iPhone or calendar on Maverick?

    I have just updated to Mavericks on my iMac. I use Microsoft Outlook for email, contacts and calendars. How do I now sync these on my iPhone ?
    The only sync seems to be via iCloud, this is sharing calendar and contacts on the iMac but if I make any calendar additions to the outlook calendar it doesn't copy to the phone or the iMac calendar and similarly if I add an item to the phone calendar it syncs to the iMac calendar but doesn't copy to outlook.

    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

    Go to iCloud.com on a computer. To see them on your iPhone go to iCloud.com in Safari. Tap the URL field. Pull favorites down and tap request desktop site. Sign into your iCloud account. Now you can view iCloud Drive or Photos if you turned on iCloud Photo library.
