Need a new phone, not eligible for upgrade.

My phone is horribly cracked and now the calibration is off. I need a new phone until I am available for an upgrade. Is there any way of buying another 5 for the meantime without entering into a new 2 year contract? I just need one for a couple of months until I am eligible.

You could get an out of warranty replacement as your device is damaged. It will cost you money but not as much as a new phone.
In US $269 + tax for an iphone 5 identical to donor

  • Can I use my new 4gs on a line different then the one it was upgraded on. I have many phones on my account. I am not eligible for upgrade but I had to buy two new phones for others. Can I give one of them my old iPhone 4 and take the 4gs.?

    I have many phones on my account. I am not eligible for upgrade but I had to buy two new phones for others. Can I give one of them my old iPhone 4 and take the 4gs? Thinking maybe switch sim cards? Thanks in advance for any help

    Yes.
    Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly.

  • Using iPhone 2.5G, Not Eligible for Upgrade to 3G?!?

    Okay, so here's my story...
    I've had an original iPhone for a few months (bought it used), and was using it as a glorified iPod touch, testing it to see if I wanted to get the 3G when it came out. So I decided I'd get the 3G, but on a family plan, in which my Mom gets a cheapo free phone, and I get the 3G.
    First problem: Apple Stores don't sell other phones, so I can't buy from Apple.
    So, I go to the AT&T store. They have no 3G iPhones, but the man who sells us our phones assures us that I can do the following:
    1. Buy a family plan with two cheapo phones.
    2. Activate my original iPhone.
    3. Go to Apple and upgrade to the 3G iPhone at the subsidized ($299 for the 16GB) price.
    However, this morning I went to the Apple Store (after activating my original iPhone last night at home), and the man on his little handheld computer said that I am not eligible for the subsidized price. I'll have to pay $499 for the 16 GB iPhone). Well, after having waited for an hour (I arrived at 7 a.m. after the Apple Store employee yesterday said they open at 7—but that was only M-F), I left, because the man told me I'd have to call AT&T to sort it out.
    So I called AT&T, and the lady (with a particularly Indian accent) told me I was ineligible, since I don't have the original iPhone purchase receipt from Apple.
    So have I been screwed over?
    Worst case scenario, I end up canceling my AT&T plan and switching back to U.S. Cellular. I want to get the 3G, but what the heck? This is insane. Why can't they give me the standard price? It has been reported all over the Internet that AT&T will let existing iPhone customers upgrade to the 3G, and indeed a few of my friends already have.
    Message was edited by: Jeff Geerling

    I completely missed that in those videos, then...
    So, if I took my subsidized phone back to the store, would they let me give that back for a 3G, then? The only reason either of us switched was so I could get the 3G, but if I can't get it for $299 now, then I'm just going to forget about getting one at all, and switch back to US Cellular (we had more minutes in our plan!).
    As an aside, the lady who answered at AT&T's help line told me that if I have a receipt for my current (original) iPhone, dated prior to the 11th, I could get the subsidized pricing on the 3G. Unfortunately, I do not have the receipt. Couldn't they tell by the serial number when the phone was purchased?
    These are exactly the reasons why I hate cellular plans/companies... I thought things were changing with the original iPhone, but now it's back to square one (except more complicated, since Apple Stores only have iPhones, but can do some family plans, but not others!).

  • New iPad not eligible for update

    When I try to update the ios I get an error message that my new iPad is not eligible to update to iOS 5.1.1. I have tried all the suggested remedies ... any ideas?

    I have tried all of the suggested remedies and still strike out. When I go to /private/etc  then hosts I see that there is no hashtag in front of the ip address second from bottom 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com   When I attempt to modify it by copying it on the desktop, putting the hashtag and then when I attempt to replace through authentication I get the message that I cannot complete the operation becasue the file hosts is in use. So, I am stuck again. Any other suggestions?

  • Ordering a phone at retail price from the site, not eligible for upgrade

    I am planning to pay retail for the iPhone once it becomes available for pre-order (judge me as you wish) but I have never ordered a phone from the website before, upgrade or not. I am not the account holder, that is under my mom's account on the website. Here are my questions -
    1. Am I given the option to pay for the phone with any credit/debit card or must it be the one associated with the monthly bill?
    2. When I go to upgrade the phone it says upgrade is not available on any of the lines (which is why I am paying retail) - does it still allow me to select the phone and then take me to the next page and show that I must pay retail and then I start the checkout process?
    3. Must the purchase be done on the account holder's account?
    4. Will the four digit Billing Code be needed to purchase the phone? What other information from the account holder is needed?

I am not the account holder, that is under my mom's account on the website. Here are my questions -
    1. Am I given the option to pay for the phone with any credit/debit card or must it be the one associated with the monthly bill?  You can pay with any method you choose - immediately with any card, or add it to the bill (if qualified to do so).
    2. When I go to upgrade the phone it says upgrade is not available on any of the lines (which is why I am paying retail) - does it still allow me to select the phone and then take me to the next page and show that I must pay retail and then I start the checkout process? Yes, it will only give you full retail pricing options.  However, I have heard/read somewhere that initially, pre-orders for the iPhone will ONLY be available to those who are currently upgrade eligible.  We'll have to wait and see...
    3. Must the purchase be done on the account holder's account?  I believe so, or you must be an account manager to be able to do anything that affects the plan, billing, etc.
    4. Will the four digit Billing Code be needed to purchase the phone? What other information from the account holder is needed?  I don't know the answer to these - and it may be a moot point anyway if you are not currently upgrade eligible.  You may need to wait till the release date to try and order, rather than do a pre-order.

  • If I buy an iPhone from the Apple store do I have to be eligible for upgrade under AT

    I really need to know ASAP. I have an iPhone 4 right now but I'm not eligible for upgrade until next May and I was wondering because the site doesn't say anything about upgrades, it just says to click which GB plan you want and which server you're under.

    You can buy whatever you want so long as you can pay for it. If you're not eligible for an upgrade, you'll just have to pay full price for the phone, that's all.

    I have an iphone4 and that I have had for four years and they are saying that I am not eligible for an upgrade until the end of July 2015. That is four years and 3 months after I purchased this phone. "Customer service" said I had an upgrade at the end of July 2013, which I did not. She said that in the system my husband took an upgrade July 29th 2013. He didn't even have a Verizon phone, he had a work phone with T-mobile. I have asked what device he supposedly upgraded to since no phones have been activated and we all still have our same phones and numbers. Remember at the time, said husband had a work phone with T-mobile. I still have the very same phone as do all of the rest of my family members. No one has upgraded. I spoke with "customer service" for more than a half an hour today, Char promised me that her supervisor (Emily) would call me back by 7:30 tonight to clear up this problem. Well guess what? No call back so where should I go from here? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

    someone swapped upgrades.  Phone could have been sold For quick cash. 

  • How can I buy an iPhone 4S if I am not eligible for a phone upgrade?

    I have an Android - hate it!  Ready for the global verizon iPhone!!  Can I get it Friday?  I heard only folks eligible for upgrade can get the phone this week.  True?  And yes, I am prepared to pay retail.... $849 - ouch.

    " I heard only folks eligible for upgrade can get the phone this week."
    Preorders may be delivered as soon as Friday.
    " Can I get it Friday? "
    If there are any available, then yes.
    If not, then no.

    Hi there 8472kck!
    I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    and that information comes from this article:

    Please can you help....
    I ordered an iPhone 5s in early September from the orange shop in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France.
    I needed a new phone as i dropped my iPhone and broke it so it thought i would upgrade.
    I was asked in the shop if I wanted a black or white one, I asked for a Black one, as all my iPhones have all been Black as I DON'T LIKE White ones. (sorry)
    I was told my phone would arrive in a week so I waited with broken phone for new one. The following week I was told it would be the following week, the following week i was told the same but the assistant in the shop told me they would ring me when it arrived. Three days later i recieved a text from the shop to say the phone would be in tomorrow, when I went in they said it had not arrived and they would call me when it was in the shop.
    They called me on Thursday the 17th of October to say the phone was in the shop.
    I arrived at the shop at 6:00pm after my work, the shop closes at 7:00pm. I recieved the phone, signed for it and extra unwanted insurance with I was told I could only canceled in a month. I was then told they didn't have any sim cards in the shop, i said no problem the Phone i assume will need charging so i will take it home and charge it and return for the sim tomorrow.
    So the Phone remained boxed.
    When I returned home and opened the box I realised it was a white one, I replaced the lid put it back in the bag, and returned it to the shop first thing Friday 18th October, to point out the error, only to be told "to bad" ?? I was told I could have changed it the night before but not this morning? They said I had ordered a Black one but as I had signed for a White one nothing can be done. I was angry and left the shop. I returned later the same day with a French friend to try and resolve this problem, as I wasn't sure if something was being lost in translation. I didn't think I was being unreasonable, it is a very expensive piece of equipment and this wasn't what i wanted. They told my friend that the phone was not available in Black, that was the 5, and that the 5s was only available in silver and gold, and that mine was a silver one.
    I then thought it was my mistake as it was a new phone. She put a sim in the phone put it in the box and I left for a business meeting only to arrive and see a Black iPhone 5s sitting on the table??
    So I then returned back to the shop with the Black one and mine still all boxed and untouched to prove they had blatantly lied to me an hour ago, only to be told that there was nothing they were prepared to do.
    Is this fair practice ? I am at a loss with this and am looking for help ?

    A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

  • Annual upgrade NOT eligible for PRE ORDER - directly from VZW representative

    so here is the latest.. i used an annual upgrade to purchase a new phone then returned it when i saw the iphone came out. so apparently they were supposed to "reset" my annual upgrade so that I could preorder the phone.. well now.. I'm being told by customer service since their systems reset, that NO ONE will be able to pre order the iphone if they're eligible for an annual upgrade.
    hopefully someone from VZW can clear this up because the representative I talked to wasn't very helpful.. i wish that we could have clear information and all of the VZW reps were telling us the same thing..
    she said that you can still use your upgrade but it won't be able to be used until the 10th.

    My phone broke and I need a new phone but my upgrade is in August.

  • Can you trade in your iphone5 for the iphone 6 if you are not eligible for an upgrade?

    I want to take advantage of the iphone trade in offer Verizon is offering, can I do this if I am not eligible for an upgrade yet?

    No.
    Either wait it out for your upgrade time, or switch to a Verizon Edge plan (you have to turn in your iPhone 5 in lieu of ETF fees).
    With Edge, you don't get anything in return for your phone, except out of your current contract.

    When I try to set up my phone it says this device is not eligible for free iCloud account

    Import them to your computer as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your iCloud backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups, then turn Camera Roll to Off under Backup Options.
    Also check Settings>General>Usage to see how much availble space is on your phone.  If you have to delete apps in order to take photos, you may be out of space on your phone.  If so, you need to delete something in order to create more space.
