Need to Upgrade phones for work No Upgrade for 15 months
Is it possible to add two lines to my family plan, get the promotional phones and then activate the promotional phones on the main line and second line? How long would i Have to keep those two new lines activated?
Any other suggestions?

Yes, once you have activated the phones on the lines you purchased them on, you can switch them to another line. How long would i Have to keep those two new lines activated? You could keep the two lines activated for just a few minutes, but if you don't maintain the lines for the duration of your 2 year contract, you will owe an Early Termination Fee on each line. It will be $175 if you buy a basic phone, or $350 for smartphones.
Any other suggestions? Pay full price, wait for your upgrade to be available on your existing lines, or buy a used phone on eBay.

Slow Speeds, no phone for two months, extortionate...
Last summer, in preparation for Infinity (or so we were told), work was carried out at our local cabinet. Most houses in the street lost their phone for days, weeks or even months.
Thankfully we have a second line in the house dating back to dial up days and the broadband is on that line so broadband was unaffected.
Our phone was dead for two months. I phoned BT several times a week during the outage and was told each time that they couldn't help me but promised someone would ring back. We made probably ten to twenty phone calls, and never received even one call back. Before you think that they couldn’t return the call because the line was dead, of course they had another number where they could reach us!
After a couple of months the phone just started working again. Unsurprisingly we were not informed that it had been fixed, or why it was out for so long or anything like that. Never heard anything from any customer service representative, never received any compensation or an apology.
A week ago our phone went dead again. Phoned up and since this time there was a question that it might be an internal fault, BT were suddenly extremely interested in fixing it. BT engineer visited, replaced a meter of internal wiring that had become damaged and was gone in under thirty minutes – price £380! Yes THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY POUNDS. Some of us have to work months to save that much. Obviously BT are very willing to fix things when there’s money to be made and you can (in theory) get someone else to fix it. When it’s a fault in their street cabinets that only they can fix they don’t seem quite so keen on fixing the problem, no wonder!
If the man had arrived in a plain white van instead of one with BT printed on the side you would almost expect to see him on an episode of BBC "Rogue Traders".
A year on and Infinity is still not available to us, although people only a few doors down the street can get it. Every time we’ve enquired we’ve been told it will become available to us within the next month or two, but that’s been going on for a couple of years now, they just keep pushing back the date. I don’t anticipate it anytime soon, so in the meanwhile will fall back on the regular BT ADSL line, which in the last couple of weeks has halved in speed. Unrelated to the fault on the first line, remember, because it’s a different line.
Of course I don’t live in the middle of nowhere. There’s been broadband here for twelve years. Twenty-five minutes on the train from central London and even the (ex) council houses here have Porsches parked in front. This is a wealthy area, which doesn’t really benefit the poor locals like me, but you would think we would get Infinity at some point.
No phone for two months, never being called back, charged £380 for a meter of cable and now getting half the broadband speed I was two or three years ago.
BT probably call this progress.welcome to the BT community forum where you probably read is where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
if you want to complain about the cost of the work then try online chat
live chat http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact/c/2902/?s_intcid=con_intban_sanda_contact_us_chat_from_forums
if you would like some assistance from the forum with your conenction speed then please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) bt speedtester and post the results .
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone
I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy! -
I haven"t used the data on my phone for 2 month and I'm still getting a big bill why?
I didn't use the data for 2 month on my phone and I still have to pay a big bill. This is the third big bill I have to pay. I deleted all the apps and turned of data and I still have to pay a big bill over what I was paying why?
Berzie,
I understand how a large bill can be unexpected and unwanted. Does the bill advise as to the reason the bill is higher? Does it say how much data you went over on your plan? What plan are you currently on?

Nagaok, then you have to change login module, try using scheduler servlet, which will create time interval. Also you have to copy all images in one folder location in server, but check with image name because it might affect.

I have had my I-Phone for 13 months and then a month after my warranty expired the wifi button greyed out. Never had a problem before updating to the new 7.4
I am getting charged huge data charges due rto the phone using 3G. How do I fix this or do I have to get a new phone? If this is the case then I will go to a smart phone. My husband has no problems with his smart phone and is as user friendly as the i-phone.Hello Theresa818,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad.
Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
Restart your iPad.
Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPad as new.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
Take care,

Need phone for elderly parents
I have elderly parents who have fallen, and have the need for cell phones. Parkinson's is in play. I need a BASIC phone for each of them. Would like something VERY easy to use, big buttons, easy to read screen, and if possible voice dialing. Any suggestions?
If there is nothing at verizon you might try jitterbug. I don't know much about it except someone I met online has one an likes it. She is elderly and likes the big buttons. Mary

Haven't been able to make/receive calls or texts for a month
I've had no service on my phone for a month now and haven't been able to make or receive calls or texts. I've had my phone (iphone 4) for almost a year now, one day it was fine, the next it wasn't. It literally just happened over night. My sim card works fine in other phones so i know thats not the problem.
After an endless amount of phone calls to O2 and no solution to the problem, I've now been told that my phone isn't reading the sim card properly and my phone needs to be sent to Apple. I'd take it to a store but the nearest one is 45 miles away and I don't drive so it's not very easy to get to. Also, as i bought it from a different website and not from an apple store and don't have any proof of purchase or warranty, would they still be able to fix it for me?
I recently went to Spain and while I was there my phone worked perfectly and I could call and text as usual, but as soon as I got back to the UK it stopped working again which suggests to me that it's nothing to do with my phone, as it was able to read the sim card fine in another country. Would I achieve anything by getting it unlocked and changing to another network?
Has anybody encountered anything like this before or have any solutions to the problem? After a month of this i'm at my wits end!!Thanks for the reply. I bought the phone on november the 1st 2011 and it has worked perfectly until the end of last month when it started saying 'no service', and no this didn't occur during an update or restore. I don't make many calls or send texts a lot so I don't know when exactly when it did happen but I know it was working on september the 28th and it wasn't on september the 30th, I didnt update, restore or anything. When I bought it, (cant remember exactly where i bought it but it was an online shop), it was sold as being on the O2 network.
I contacted the network and they said they could unlock it, so maybe i'll try it on the Orange network instead as I managed to use that without any problems in Spain.
Thank you for the answer to my other questions as well. -
Overage Charge for prior month on first bill
Got my first Verizon bill today and found something interesting. I was charged for going over my data for the prior month to the tune of $15 for a gig. Problem is, I've only had the phone for a month and there is no prior month on my account!
Or at least there shouldn't have been. Looks like my billing cycle started the day after I got the phone, so all the data from setting up my phone in store was overage. This is crap. Anyone else notice this?That one day of the prior billing cycle was prorated based on the data plan you selected and divided by the number of days in the billing cycle.

Will be International for 5 months and want to remove plan for this time
I will be studying in Austria for an extended period of time and would like to bring my iphone5, but not use any sort of plan with it (I'll just use wifi and as a camera). Right now I have a contract for several years (unlimited talk, text, and 2GB data) and pay $60 a month for it. There are two other phones on my account. I was wondering if I could just remove my phone for these months (and not pay for a service I wouldn't even be using) and then resume my plan when I return in July.
You can't "remove" your phone for this time without paying the ETF since you are under contract.
Verizon allows you to "suspend" service without billing for 90 days at a time. Once the 90 days is up, your service will automatically restart. Once it restarts, you can go back in and suspend it again. Verizon allows you to do this twice in a year for a total of up to 180 days in a year. Unfortunately, with the service automatically restarting again after 90 days, you will most likely have 1 month of service for which to pay.
While in Austria, you should be able to simply remove your Verizon SIM card and insert a SIM card from a local provider to get service thru them. -
Customer Exit for 13 month from current month
Hi Gurus,
I need a customer exit for 13 months from current month. Based on the requirement I have written following code
When 'VPI_13CALYRMON'.
IF i_step = 1.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
l_s_range-low = sy-datum+0(6).
l_s_range-high = sy-datum+0(6) + 13.
append l_s_range to e_t_range.
endif.
Please could you guide me the code.
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.Hi,
I think you can do it in below way.
When 'VPI_13CALYRMON'.
IF i_step = 1.
temp1 = sy-datum+0(4).
temp1 = temp1 +1. (because adding 13 months would take year to next year)
temp2 = sy-datum+4(2).
temp2 = temp2 + 1. (after adding 13 months, the month would be one more than of previous year)
concatenate temp1 temp2 into temp3.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
l_s_range-low = sy-datum+0(6).
l_s_range-high = temp3.
append l_s_range to e_t_range.
endif.
Hope this helps. -
I need to upgrade my MacBook 13" white 2008 hard drive. I have found a WD6400BPVT western digital Scorpio blue 640GB (5400rpm) SATA 8MB 2.5" will this fit and work? Many thanks for any help
I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol
