My options with a bought iPhone 5s

I bought a 5s for my son at WalMart.  I wanted to do a month to month plan ie Family Mobile.  The person at the counter told me I had to use Straight Talk.  Fine.  Let me say..I know very little about buying cell phones.  I get mine through my husband's company.  Anyway, I have since found out I can't use ST.  The phone is Verizon.  What are my options?  We didn't want to pay $100 a month after buying the phone.  Is there any other month to month plan that is around $45?
Thanks

The Share Everything Plans for 2 GB data and unlimited talk and text is about $100 plus taxes for a postpaid account on Verizon Wireless and is compatible with the iPhone 5s.
The prepaid plans offered by Verizon Wireless only work on 3G phones and are more than $45 for the smartphone plans.

  • Need helps with recently bought iphone 3G

    I bought an iPhone 3G 8GB from ebay recently. It was stated as legally unlocked by Telstra (Australian's carrier). I bought this as a present for my sister to be use in Malaysia. When I inserted a Malaysia's SIM card, this iphone give me 'Invalid SIM' status. When I connected it to iTunes, the itunes told me that the SIM card is not compatible. What should i do?
    Oh, this is a second hand item. The seller has used it for one month. When I opened itunes, it does show the seller name.
    I read around that everytime you insert a new SIM card, you need to restore the iphone through itunes. Is that so? Will the restoration make my iphone become lock again? And how do I restore? Just click the restore button on iTunes?
    Wouldn't it be a pain in the *** if you have to restore your iphones everytime you inserting a new SIM card? Can't it be easier? I thought if the iphone is unlocked, you just have to insert you SIM, and you're ready to go.
    I'd appreciate if anyone could guide me through this. Thanks

    Ok I've called Telstra, and they've confirmed that my iphone has certainly been unlocked by them. I've tried to restore it last night, and when it's complete, I inserted my Malaysia SIM, but it still gives me the 'SIM not compatible' message. Worst, I can't get to 'Home' now. When I turned on the iphone, it gave me this pic of white cable and itunes, asking me to connect to itunes. I can only make an emergency call now. If I inserted my SIM and connect tu itunes, it gives me the message above, but if I do not insert my SIM, the itunes will give me error message asking me to insert SIM. Basically that's the only thing I can do now with my iphone.

  • I bought iphone in the USA. Unlocked 4s, however it is not working in Europe with my sim! What to do now?

    I bought iPhone 4s uncloked in the US. However it is not working in the Europe with my sim.  What are my option to get it working?

    Look, all CDMA iPhone 4S's are carrier locked...all...fact is, no CDMA iPhone 4S can be unlocked. While the sim slot can be unlocked, this must be authorized by the CDMA carrier the phone is locked to, & no CDMA carrier will authorize such unless you are a customer in good standing...not the case with you.
    This phone is useless to you...to get the sim slot unlocked you would have had to sign up for service in the US first.
    Return it for a refund.
    Good luck.

  • I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I upgraded to ios6 but I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know that how can I claim my iphone with apple care because no apple store in Thailand. Thank you.

    I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I already upgraded to ios6 but It doesn't work well.I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know how can I do with my iphone because no apple store in Thailand.Can I send it to any apple care which is easy and near my country? Thank you.

    You can find a local shop and pay to get it fixed or you will need to send the phone to someone you know in Canada and have them take the phone into Apple for service. Then they will need to ship the phone back to you. The warranty is based in the original country of purchase.
    Decide which is your best option.

  • HT2534 Its is fake . i have bought iphone today but i haven't cred card so how i create account ? Your example type "none" window not come . New iphone but with out ID useless Phone :(

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when creating the account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) ? e.g. if doing it on your phone and you are currently logged into an account then log out of it, find a free app in the app store app, tap on its free price button, tap 'install app', and then tap on 'create new apple id' on the popup that you get. I tried those instructions on my phone a few days ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on the payments screen.

  • How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

    How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
    Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
    Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
    This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
    This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
    Would appreciate any suggestion ????
    Thanks

    Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

  • Is there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly?

    Greetings everybody,
    I have run into a peculiar problem with the Safari browser on mobile platforms (IPad, IPod, IPhone) which I hope I can find a solution for in this community.
    I just launched a new website where I sell products with certain variations, for example please view this link: http://www.finerribbon.com/aegean-single-face-satin-ribbon.html
    On this particular product, the product variants are supposed to work in such a way where:
    If you select the value "1/8" from the "Choose Ribbon Width" field
    THEN
    The only options active and available to choose from in the "Choose Roll Size" field should be: 500 Yds, 20 Yds & Sample Swatch
    Now, if we browse to the above link in Safari using a desktop or a laptop, there are no problems at all, but if we browse to the above link using an IPhone or an Ipad, then we have a problem where all the options are available regardless of the values chosen, basically the above functonality does not work.
    I was told that there an issue with Safari in Iphones and Ipads where it does not recognize option disabled="disabled" tag properly, is this true? Can anyone advise me if there is a solution to this problem? I would sincerely apperciate it.
    Thank you very much for your time and help!

  • I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

    So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
    This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

  • What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    What is the best option for tethering my IPhone 4s with my iPad? (the iPad is wifi only)

    #1. Understand that if you switch carriers, you can NOT take your existing iPhone with you. It won't work. You will need to purchase a new one.
    #2. Your only choices are Sprint and Verizon. Decide who has the better coverage in your area. Keep in mind that you will NOT be able to get simultaneous voice and 3G data on either of these, as their CDMA networks do not support it. The U.S. T-Mobile network is not supported and is not fully compatible with the iPhone as it operates on a rarely used frequency compared to the rest of the world.
    #3. What in the world are "niners"? Do you mean you want to be able to keep your existing "phone numbers"? If so, that should be no problem. Most numbers in the US are now portable.
    #4. Consider WHY you want to switch. If the issue is really price, you're not going to see much of a difference. A few dollars a month at best for comparable voice and data plans.
