Port number from verizon to family account in FL, but I live in PA

Getting an iphone 4, I currently am with verizon and am looking to port my 917 (NYC) area code number to my family account, which is in FL.... But I live in PA. (I've moved a bunch)
CSR told me that I'd have to get a number local to the area where the account is based.....
I know it CAN be done...so what's the way around this red tape?

No, you don't need a US bank account. Any account that can accept direct payments from an overseas source will work.
See this link for how to get started and obtain an EIN. (Doing this over the phone with the IRS after filling in the form is the quickest and easiest way to get this done.)

When is it safe to port number from Verizon

My current Verizon 2 year contract is up Nov. 25th. I don't want to buy and activate an iPhone before then, because doing so would transfer my number AND cancel my account, resulting in an early termination fee.
So my question is, when should I activate the iPhone in order to still be able to keep my number? When my contract is up with Verizon, do I need to sign a new contract to continue to use it, or will it just continue monthly until I decide to cancel it (but this time with no early termination fee since I'm no longer under contract).
I'll also try calling Verizon to figure this out. Thanks.

That's exactly correct. Verizon will aggressively try to get you to sign a new contract, but you do not have to in order to continue using their service. I bought the RAZR when it first came out with Verizon with a one year contract. I kept the phone and the same plan for almost two years, paying a month to month after the contract expired at the same rate as before.
When I bought the iPhone, I simply put all my information into iTunes, including my number which I wanted to port and sent it. Three hours later I was using my iPhone with my old number. I never spoke with Verizon, everything was done for me. It was a super easy transition.
I hope this helps others with similar questions.

Activation- transferring number from Verizon to AT&T

Hello, I am trying to activate my iPhone and I need to port my old number from Verizon to AT&T. I'm out of my Verizon contract (as of 20 minutes ago) and was told by both companies all I would need to do is enter in the info to transfer the number in iTunes. I enter in the cell number, account number, zip code, and account password and am greeted with a screen that says:
"The phone number you entered cannot be transferred. You must uncheck the transfer number option and clear the information in the text fields to continue."
What gives? Any suggestions or do I just have to wait until tomorrow when AT&T or Apple support is actually open and doesn't just give me automated menus to tell me I meet the software requirements.

Alright ... well, you may have lost your former number. You should have simply submitted your information to activate your iPhone and that act alone would have closed your Verizon account and transferred your number. So if you somehow believed you had to close your Verizon account before activating your iPhone then, in essence, you gave your phone number back to Verizon to release to a new Verizon customer.
Which is probably why your getting the message that there is no number to transfer. My advice: Accept your fate, re-activate and take a new number.
I say this because I transferred over from T-Mobile. In fact, I bought six iPhones all together (one for each of my employees) and they had accounts with different service providers (Sprint, Verizon, Metro, etc.). Two employees did as you did and we lost the numbers.
For those we didn't lose - the only trouble we ran into was failing to insert the the account information exactly as it appeared on our billing statements. If it was all in caps and we went back and put re-input all in caps then the activation and number transferred. If we let off our suite number or if it was shown as # or STE then when we provided that just as it appeared on the statement, the transfer went through.
I hope this helps.

Now we are able to access the url using public Ip-address which looks like
http://<Internet Ip-Address>:<PORT NUMBER>
Eg: http://******.com:8000
But we dont want the *'PORT NUMBER(8000)'* to be displayed.
How to hide the port number ?..
Thanks in Advance,

Port number from 7777 to 8080 - URGENT please

dear all,
i'm using Apex 2.2,
i wanted to change port number from 7777 to 8080,
due to Security Reasons, i have to change the port from 7777 to 8080
in which File i need to do the Changes & what are the Steps to be Followes,
http://10.33.20.6:7777/pls/apex1/apex
i wanted to change the same to
http://10.33.20.6:8080/pls/apex1/apex
please Help me out in this,
its is Very URGENT PLEASE
Many thanks

This is unlikely to be any help becaue your URL specified 'pls' in the path indicating that you are using mod_plsql, but but you might like to check that you are not inadvertently servicing your Apex instance with the embedded PL/SQL gateway.
Check to see if you are using EPG with the simple sql :
SELECT DBMS_XDB.GETHTTPPORT FROM DUAL;
If value returned is 7777 then you appear to be using EPG.
Change the port using EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8080);
And then navigate your http://10.33.20.6:8080/pls/apex
As I said it's unlikely to be any help but wort checking all the same.

Getting host name and port number from application

Does anyone know how I would be able to get the host name
and port number from an application launched by java webstart ?
This is the host and port of the URL that this application is launched from.

A couple of suggestions:
-The note is about 6.40. Doesn't fit for your server
-Don't!
-Reinstall!

Benny

Will it cost anything to port number from virgin to a vzw family plan?

I looked and couldn't see this (slightly convoluted) situation covered anywhere. I was wondering if you could help.
I use one line of a 5-phone family plan (I'm not the account owner). I have a sister who is interested in taking over the line but would like to bring her virgin mobile pay-as-you-go number when she takes over the phone. I don't need to take the current vzw number with me, so would there be any charge from verizon for that? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply, Wildman. I guess the ETF was what I was afraid of. She says she did call verizon and they told her the virgin number could be ported.
But to avoid paying anything, it sounds like she'll just have to take the number I've been using and lose her old number. Someone correct that if I'm not thinking right. I guess I thought I might not have to pay the ETF if I don't need to take my current vzw number anywhere else.

Ported number from Straight Talk to Verizon--how long does it take?

Hi,
I pre-purchased an iPhone 6 from a Verizon seller last week. I went and got the phone today and got my Verizon account set up. Today is the first day of my contract. They ported my number from Straight Talk. Right away, we got a text saying there was a delay in porting the number. At the moment, some texts are coming to my old phone, some to the new. Meanwhile, calls seem to go only to the old phone.
Is something wrong, or do I just need to wait? The port was attempted at about 2 pm, and it's about 4 pm now.
Verizon Wireless Services

Ah ha! Okay, so I just need to be more patient in other words. I'm just glad nothing is wrong.
I did use the "erase all data and settings" option on the iPhone 6 menu because I wanted to go through the setup myself. I hope that didn't mess anything up.
Thank you!!

Ported number from Google Voice.... Please help!!!!!

I Ported my number from Google Voice to Verizon a few days ago because Verizon has the best network out here but I am still unable to receive text messages from any carrier other than Verizon. The port says it was completed and customer service has had me reprogram my phone a dozen times now to no avail. I guess I have to cancel my service with Verizon and port the number to another provider that can fix this for me. If you have any advise, please let me know. Customer service at Verizon does not even seem to know what Google Voice is.

Welcome to our family but we don't want to lose you with our family Dtowlou. Have you spoken with the port center about your issues with activating your phone and service? What happens when you try to make a call out or send a text?

Port number from Skype to At&t?? Prior Success but...

I do not understand and am frustrated. I recently acquired/purchased a second landline number since the process of porting out a number from skype to AT&T was completed at a prior time successfully (a year or two ago).
I now am hindered in this process due to ATT saying they recently received a memo which disables them to proceed. Something about Skype's telecom partner no longer allowing international ports or something.
I called Verizon and they said this was possible for them and they would go ahead with the process.. I do not want to switch providers for a number but would like clarity. Anyone knowledgeable with this process and current/new policy?? I purchased the number for this specific reason.

Select Listener Port Number from which_table?

I'm writing a SQL script that, among other things, disconnects from Oracle and then reconnects to the same instance as a different user. I'm able to query v$database and v$instance to get most of the information I need (host, service name, etc) for the reconnect part. The only part I'm missing is the listener port number. I could hard code it to 1521, but that isn't very flexible. Currently, I'm prompting the user (which is normally me) for the listener port number in the SQL script, but that just seems a little bit lame. So my question is this: is there a view or table somewhere in the sys schema that I could use to view the listener configuration? I'm mostly working with 10gR2+ databases.

cleavitt wrote:
That is possible, but it needs to be a standard Oracle configuration if the script is to remain generic and portable. The script is actually working fine as-is. I was just trying to go the extra mile and determine the port number automatically. I could also prompt for a TNSNames entry as suggested by others, but I don't always have an entry defined for all of the Oracle instances in my company on every workstation that I work from.
Here is the script for anyone that is interested. It started out as a script that I found online, but the original did not work with 11g case-sensitive passwords and it only worked for local connections on the server.
Description:
Allows a DBA user to impersonate another user (without knowing the user's password).
Similar in function to using the SU command in Unix/Linux.
Note:
This script temporarily changes the impersonated user's password and may cause other
connection attempts by that user to fail during the moment that the temporary password is in effect.
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT
SET VERIFY OFF
ACCEPT username CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the username: '
ACCEPT listenerport NUMBER DEFAULT 1521 PROMPT 'Enter the listener port [1521]: '
-- Define substitution variables and column mapping.
COLUMN username NEW_VALUE username
COLUMN password_hash NEW_VALUE password_hash
COLUMN host_name NEW_VALUE hostname
COLUMN instance_name NEW_VALUE servicename
-- Populate substitution variables.
SELECT
name AS username,
-- Get the user's password hash(s) and apply appropriate formatting for case-sensitive password if needed (11g+ passwords).
NVL2(spare4, spare4 || ';' || password /* 11g+ */, password /* pre-11g */) AS password_hash
FROM sys.user$
WHERE name = UPPER('&username');
SELECT host_name, instance_name
FROM v$instance;
-- Set the user's password to a temporary value.
ALTER USER &username IDENTIFIED BY TempPass;
-- Use the temporary password to connect to the database as the user.
CONNECT &username/TempPass@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=&hostname)(PORT=&listenerport))(CONNECT_DATA=(UR=A)(SID=&servicename)));
-- Reset the user's password to the original value using the original password hash(s).
ALTER USER &username IDENTIFIED BY VALUES '&password_hash';
SHOW USER
UNDEFINE username
UNDEFINE password_hash
UNDEFINE hostname
UNDEFINE servicename
UNDEFINE listenerport
WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE
SET VERIFY ONAnd by so doing you just kicked the user's password expiration on down the road, negating the benefit of havng a password expiration.
Also, you locked out the legitimate user of this account, until such time as you reset it back to the original. And in the mean time, if this happens to be an account used by some automated process, that process doesn't know the new "temporary" password and runs a risk of locking the account from too many invalid connection attempts. Try to become SYSMAN or DBSNMP from this, and you will very quickly kill OEM.
This has "bad idea" written all over it. What problem is it supposed to be be solving?

How can I remove my phone number from a previous Apple account still in use?

I originally shared an Apple account with my family until we all updated our iphones! Now everyone could see everyone's imessages! Just to be safe I made another Apple ID just for me! How can I take off my phone number and emails from the other Apple account?
Thanks!

This happens when you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

Port number from t-mobile

I'm having trouble transferring my number from T-Mobile. During iphone activation I get a message that says the number is not transferable. Any suggestions?

Call T-Mobile and make sure they don't have a transfer lock on the account. Carriers sometime do that to make it hard to port numbers (Alltel). If it does tell them to lift the lock, but do not tell them you want to cancel.

How do I go about porting number from Virgin Media...

Hello,
Have placed an order with BT for Broadband and Calls and was allocated a new telephone number. I would now however like to port my telephone number over from Virgin Media to BT to save fiddling about giving everyone a new number for the second time in the space of 6 months.
So how do I port my number from VM to BT and how long does it take?
Thanks

Still have the vm phone account...
What a mess bt have made though, title is wrong, name spelt wrong, orders duplicated and some cancelled and to be honest I dont hold many hopes about my phone service been active tommorow.
I think it may be best to cancel all orders that BT have listed and start again, we've had this problem before- when BT edit orders and they fail on the day of activation as someone made a **bleep** up.
I'll phone up and sort it all out now...
