Need to re-activate prior iPhone to a new number

I just traded in my 4Gig iPhone for an 8Gig iPhone. I then kept the 4Gig iPhone to use as a second family cell phone. I was able to activate the new 8Gig iPhone with the phone number from the 4Gig iPhone but can't activate the old 4Gig iPhone with a new family phone number. How do I tell iTunes that I have a different number for the old 4Gig iPhone and also make changes to the rate plan? The AT&T wedsite didn't come up within iTunes since it thought the 4Gig iPhone existed.

Did you transfer the 4GB SIM card with the new SIM card included with the 8GB?
I believe this will require calling AT&T customer support.

    You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?

  • HT201269 how do i let itunes know that my iphone has a new number

    how do i let itunes know that my iphone has a new number

    Not sure what you mean by "let iTunes know ... has a new number" but check Settings>Phone>My Number to be sure it's correct, then sync.

  • Do you need wifi to activate a iphone 4, i have just the sim card that has 3G internet?

  • How can i get my get my icloud username and need it to activate my iphone. have try to use my apple id but it asking for the email id.

    how can i get my apple id ending with icloud,com back as i forgot it and cannot sign in on icloud thus cannot unlock my iphone5s

    Apple can't find it for you.  You have to go to icloud.com on a computer and sign into the iCloud account that was used on the phone, then see if you can track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If you don't know the password for your iCloud account you won't be able to sign in to track it.
    If it was stolen, contact the police and your carrier, and change your passwords.

  • I need to sync my old iPhone to a new iTunes but need to keep the data?

    Hi,
    I have got a new computer, and so obviosuly have had to download a new verison of iTunes to go with it, however, I now cant sync my iPhone (which was linked previously to an iTunes account on my old computer) without it wanting to erase allll my stuff. Any help??
    Thanks so much.

    You will need to move your iTunes library (and "all your stuff", like contacts, etc.) from your old computer to your new computer. When you Have it all set up, you can set up your phone to sync with the new library. This will erase the phone, but you can re-sync your media, apps, etc. from the iTunes library you've moved to the new one.
    You can NOT use the iPhone to move your library from one machine to another. It is not a backup device.

  • Just an FYI...do not activate your iPhone under a different number. My upgrade came through my husband's number and Verizon told me to activate it first through his then switch it to me. Now I have to wait 24 hrs to activate bc of sim card

    Basically the sim card has to be inactive for 24 hrs and now I have to wait until 10 tomorrow to activate under my number. Needless to say I'm not happy about it.

    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

    If that Apple ID's one of yours, click here.
    If it's not, ask the person who set the lock to remove it.
    If you're the device's original owner, you can also take it and its original receipt to a physical Apple Store.

  • After updating on IOS 7.0.2 I can't activate my iphone.

    Hello, Apple.
    After updating on IOS 7.0.2 I can't activate my Iphone A1332 emc380a
    Serial Number: dnpglq2bdpmw
    Please activate my Iphone.

    You're the one that purchased an iPhone on a street corner. Take responsibility for your own actions.
    Again:
    "I'm sorry, but it appears you now own a paperweight."
    Next time, purchase from a legitimate source & you won't be in the fix you're now in.

  • Do I need to activate the Iphone 4 on the network prior to unlocking it?????

    I bought a Iphone4 on three UK network but never activated it as I bought it as a present. However I requested three to unlock the phone and for a charge of £15.00 they said they have sent an unlocking request and I have received a text message the following day to confirm the unlocking request is successfully processed.
    My question is that do I still have to activate the iphone on three or can the person in abroad who gets this as a present activate the phone with a foreign SIM in the country. The reason I dont want to activate with three sim is that it is being given as a present and I would rather prefer to give it in a selaed box unused and brand new condition.
    Hope some one has a answer to this question as apple technical support could not give a answer to this..

    Agree, let people now. If there is cheap solution <edited by host> .
