Moving iPhone 4S to a different Verizon line

Hi all!
I have an iPhone 4S on my personal line, and a Droid Bionic on my corporate line. Originally the Bionic was on the personal line, but I moved it to the corporate when the iPhone came.
I'm debating switching the two phones back (ie putting the Bionic back on the personal, and moving the iPhone to the corporate). The main reason for this is that on my personal line I'm grandfathered into unlimited data, and when the Bionic was on that line, I had a $30 unlimited tethering option, which I've now lost due to the iPhone - which has a $20 2GB Tethering option, also EVDO instead of the Bionic's LTE. If I move the Bionic back to the personal line - which will mean me having to go to a store and get a new LTE SIM card - then I should get the unlimited tethering option back. (I know this works because a few months ago, I had a Thunderbolt on the personal line, temporarily swapped to a Blackberry, lost the tethering, then swapped back to the Thunderbolt and got the unlimited Tethering option back).
As you can see, I've done a lot of phone juggling the past few months, but with LTE phones (easy to swap SIM cards) and not with iPhones.
My real question is: to move the iPhone to my corporate line, do I just call the *228 number on the iPhone, or do I have to call Verizon to do it, given that the iPhone activation process (iTunes and all that) is different from either regular CDMA/EVDO phones, and LTE phones?
Thanks for any input!

Shirokuro73, thank you for your inquiry. Normally you would be able to activate an iPhone by dialing *228 since it was originally connected to iTunes. But as Gina mentioned, since the phone is still tied to another account, it may not allow you to complete the change that way. You can have the store complete this for you when you get your replacement SIM card or call into customer service at 800-922-0204.

Moving iPhone backup folder to different computer

I would like to sync my iPhone 4 to my MacPro tower rather than sync it to my MacBook Pro. I was wondering if its as simple as just putting the users>my account> Library> Mobile Sync folder onto my MacPro Tower. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

It is not that simple and there is no need or reason to transfer the iPhone's backup from one computer to another that you now use to sync your iPhone with.
You can manually create a backup with iTunes without syncing - with your iPhone connected and without syncing, control-click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back up. iTunes creates a backup for each iPhone or iOS device that is synced with iTunes which is updated automatically as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
What you need to transfer is your iTunes library from your MBP to your MacPro Tower. Copy the iTunes named folder in your Music folder on your MBP and with iTunes quit on your MacPro Tower, place the iTunes folder in your Music folder. This will replace the existing iTunes folder in your Music folder and your existing iTunes library on your MacPro Tower. Your MacPro Tower also needs to be authorized with the same iTunes account as your MBP.
If you have some content in your iTunes library on the MacPro Tower that you don't want to lose, you can selective export music, movies, tv shows from your iTunes library on your MBP for import with your iTunes library on your MacPro Tower.
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only including 3rd party apps. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
If you don't transfer your entire iTunes library from your MBP - the iTunes named folder, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your MacPro Tower.

How to exchange lines when using dual sim card with 2 different pnone lines in the same iphone 4s

I have an iPhone 4S with a dual SIM card since I use 2 different phone lines (1 professional and 1 personal) They work well but, how can I change from one line to another without having to switch off the phone and then restart it introducing a different PIN?
Thank you

Hi raffettax,
Time goes by and I have no answer. There is lso no answer on Movistar Communities, the only one is really disappointing and is not given by a Movistar employee. An iOS beta tester told that beta 2 resolved the issue, but with beta 3 it stops working again .
Do you have any news about this issue?
Regards.

Can I transfer one verizon line to a different verizon account

Can I transfer one of my verizon lines to another existing verizon account. can I do it on line

You can do an Assumption of Liability process to transfer the billing responsibility of the line from one account to another. You will need the permission of the account owners to authorize the transfer. It can be done in a corporate store or by calling customer support at 1-800-922-0204.

Switching iPhone 4s from ATT to Verizon in Santa Fe, NM

Hi All,
From the subject line: I am currently living in Washington DC and ATT service is reasonably good. In Santa Fe, NM where I am moving, ATT has awful service and Verizon has a much better reputation. I am considering switching upon my move. What are the significant differences between ATT and Verizon on the iPhone? I understand that data network access and phone calls cannot happen simultaneously. Not a situation I usually encounter. Are there any other significant differences that I should know about?
Thanks.....

At some point will I be asked to set up the phone as a Verizon device (I am porting my number from AT&T)? Or does iTunes/Apple read the serial number of my phone and "know" it is a Verizon unit tied to my specific number? How exactly does this step work?
The phone will come with activation instructions. The activation servers will "know" what carrier the phone belongs to. You will probably have to call an 800 number to finish accepting the contract.
Did you specify in the ordering process that you wanted to port over your AT&T number? If yes, the phone will be activated with your number. The port process usually takes about 5-30 minutes. During that time, you can make outgoing calls from either phone but only your AT&T phone will ring. Once the port process is complete, you'll get a text on your Verizon phone. At that point, the AT&T phone will no longer be connected to your number.
If you didn't request the port, you'll need to call customer service.
Yes, you MUST leave your AT&T account active until the port process is complete or you will lose your number.
Best of luck.

Iphone 6 and the lies Verizon keeps pushing

Order 2 iphone 6's on 10/08/2014 with a 10/24/2014 delivery date. Called twice that day because I hadn't had notification and was told that it shipped and was on it's way....lies. Called later that night talked to a very good rep and said, they werent' coming. I got an email later stating that Verizon was "sorry" and that it would be delivered by 11/3/14. Low and behold it is still not here, now I am being told 11/7/14 but no email.
Verizon lied, I know it's not all there fault but they promised people phones and couldn't deliver. If you can find an iphone 6 with a different provider until you receive your phone you can cancel the order and get out of the contract deal. YOU DO NOT HAVE A CONTRACT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE PHONE. I am going to find either an AT&T or US Cellular store that has the phones I want because they have them in stock, if you want your iphone 6 now, you can go to another provider and get one.

I wasn't frustrated until after the 24th when I was told my phones would absolutely be there by the 3rd of November, now I'm frustrated, add to the fact I was lied to multiple times but customer service representatives that "oh it has shipped" or "you should see that by the end of the day" or "well FedEx does take time to deliver but it is there". NO, NO, and NO. That's the biggest issue. Bad news is one thing, it's still the truth, but lies for the sake of placating the customer, that's just bad. That's why I"m spreading the word, if you don't have your phone but can get it with another provider, do it, my contract is not valid until I activate that new phone as well as anyone else's that's in the same boat. You are giving me no reason to stay, no, "hey, sorry we weren't forthcoming with delivery dates, here's 2gb of free data for being a great customer and for our dishonesty" All I'm hearing is, "well we said some things we couldn't back up but please be patient, but well, we really don't care in the long run as you are just one person"

Can I exchange the iPhone 5s for a different color?

My sister told me she bought me an iPhone 5s white/silver and verizon is having it shipped to me but the shipping info states it's the gold one. Is there a way to exchange/replace the phone for the silver/white colored one at no extra charge? It also already shipped around 2 hours ago.

If the phone you're getting isn't the phone that you want...and you want to try to avoid a restocking fee...just refuse the delivery. Don't accept it and try to go the store to have it done...especially if VZW got it right and you're just wanting a different color out of preference. Be advised that refusing the accept delivery of the phone will cause it to go back to VZW which you have to factor in time to ship it back, time for the warehouse to receive it, and time for it to be credited back to your sister. All of this can be a long and tedious process. Also be advised that if you do try this approach that calling, complaining, and ranting about the slow return process will not yield you any faster results. No VZW rep online, in a store, on the phone, or via chat will be able to do anything to speed up the return process...it'll happen when it happens. So...with that being said, is having a different color really worth it to you? Armed with the knowledge you've gained here about the process, at least you can now make an informed decision. Besides, most people cover the back of their device with some fancy or cute cover to protect their device so the back color is rarely seen. Best of luck to you...

Didn't receive it yet but was not sure how to get the new number for the new line. I didn't see the device on the verizon web site. Is it difficult to activate?

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

Are the iPhone 5 and 6 different kinds of devices?

In reference to the section: "I want to use a backup of my iOS device for a different kind of iOS device" in Apple Support article HT201418 (If you need help restoring from an iCloud backup - Apple Support). That section lists the following as data that won't transfer.
Photos
Messages and attachments in Messages
Voice Memos
Apps that aren't compatible with the device you’re setting up
For example, apps compatible only with iPad won't be transferred to your iPhone.
Is an iPhone 5 considered a different kind of device than an iPhone 6?
In an attempt to restore an iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 back up in iTunes to attain the voice memos from the iPhone 5, the voice memos did not transfer to the iPhone 6 along with other things.

Video copied off iPhone 4S before ios6 was installed plays fine with Quicktime 7.7.2 on my desktop. Any video taken AFTER ios6 was installed only displays a black screen with audio using same version of Quicktime. Sure hope they fix this FAST!! So much for Apple's quality testing!!

Stealing is NOT the only reason to want to transfer music and paid apps from one account to another.
The family has been using one itunes account to purchase music and apps. This account was set up under my user name. I gave my wife my old ipad and got the 3-kids new ipads. I want to give all of the music and apps under my user name to my wife's new itunes account so the family can keep using them and I can have a separate account. Even if I have to re-pay for the music and apps.
Is it possible?

Me and my sister use the same itunes but on my new iphone i have a different apple id. how do i hook up my iphone to get the music from her account because my device wont show up in our itunes

You created a new AppleID?
Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!
