Preordered an iPhone 4S for AT&T already, can i have it activated on Verizon instead?
So here's the deal...I pre-ordered an iPhone 4S for AT&T from store.apple.com, and was planning on adding my wife onto my existing AT&T plan as a FamilyTalk add-on.
BUT, after some further research and thought, we want to have it activated on Verizon instead, since I don't think she'll tolerate the crappy AT&T reception that I get (or don't get, rather).
She is currently on Verizon (with a 5 year-old non-smartphone), and although the iPhone 4S she'll be getting in the mail was orginally purchased for use on AT&T, anyone know if it would be possible to activate it on Verizon instead? We could go through the process of returning the phone, but it seems kind of pointless if the phone hardware is no longer carrier-specific.
thanks
No.

Why would you charge me$40 for a free upgrade? I chose a iPhone and paid you the difference plus protective cover, now you want to charge me a fee for activating a number I have had for years!!! I have been a faithful Verizon customer for years but I will switch companies when my contracts are up or I can get a buy out from another company, your free upgrade is not free and is a false advertisement as far as I'm concerned
However you had already stated you did not choose a "free upgrade", but paid the difference for an iPhone. So much for your "free upgrade". Additionally, I was not aware Verizon was in the business of giving away "free service"(s)?????? Purchasing a "free" or "reduced price" phone IS NOT a free service. You sign a contract in exchange for receiving that benefit. There is an upgrade fee along with that service you are contracted to complete or you will be charged an early termination fee(ETF), so this IS NOT a free service.
Yes, you have a choice to go with another provider which ALSO charges an upgrade fee OR charges you full retail value for your phone. So much for a "free upgrade" there.
AT&T = upgrade fee
Sprint = upgrade fee
T-Mobile = no upgrade fee but must pay full retail cost for the phone
For what it is worth, you would not have had to pay an upgrade fee had you simply paid full retail cost for your phone OR purchased it with Edge at full retail cost. Depending on your calling plan and data allowance, you may have even ended up paying less for your phone had you done so. That is why a little research before you make a purchase can go a long way.
I know it is cheaper for me to pay full retail for a phone than to purchase a discounted device in exchange for signing a contract.
Good luck with the new provider. -
My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.
You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

I'm going to another country for a year and I would like to unlock my phone to take another sim other than my carrier. My contract with my present carrier is finished yet they still wouldnt unlock the iphone 4 for me. How can I be able to unlock it?t
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
Who is your carrier? -
I'm using iphone 4 for japan version how can do it my iphone can use it in malaysia?
i'm using iphone 4 for japan version how can do it my iphone can use it in malaysia?isit just can use japan sim card only?
You can use your iPhone 4 in Malaysia with a Japanese sim card, but you'll need to enable the data roaming/international feature with your phone comapny/carrier in Japan to be able to use the phone.
Your other option is to get your phone unlocked by your phone comapny/carrier so that you can then insert local sim cards when you travel.
The only ones who can unlock your phone is your phone comapny/carrier in Japan so you need to contact them directly to ask them if they offer unlocking - if not then you are out of luck and have to use the data roaming method. -

When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?
Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.

I am using a bluetooth LG HBS700 headset. Since upgrading my Iphone 4 to IOS 6 I can't have the Iphone more than 1 foot away from the headset without loosing connectivity.
You are a genius! Thank you so much; my LG HBS700 now works with my iPhone 5. It is so wonderful that there is this facility for people to help each other. And it is so agrivating that there are these mysterious, unexplained, magic tricks necessary to make my phone work. Do you happen to know how the button combination resolved the Bluetooth issue? What was the Bluetooth problem and how did this fix it. Again thank you for passing this on.

How a sales order for a MTO sku can always have required date populated bas
Hi,
how a sales order for a MTO sku can always have required date populated based on full lead time ?
Thanks,
RajaHi,
If you run MRP against sale order by tcode MD50, system will generate planned order.
System will generate basic or lead time scheduling depends on MRP run parameter selected in initial screen of MRP run.
If you select lead time scheduling, system will time from routing and thus generate scheduled start date & finish date.
If your requirement date say 10/08/08. Lead time 10 days. So system create scheduled start date on 01/08/08 during MRP run.

I use 2 to 3 computers for my photo retouching, can I get them activated with the same serial number? for Photoshop Elements 13, and premier elements 13
You can activate any two of them at a time, but if you want to use it on a third computer you will need to deactivate one of them before you can do so. To do that, go to Help>Sign Out.

Bought an iphone 6 for a gift, but can't figure out how to activate it.
Help! I bought my daughter a new iphone for Christmas to replace her 4s. The 4S is still connected to our carrier (AT&T.)
They told me at Best Buy, I would be able to activate the phone from home, but I can't find any information on how to do it.
AT&T's website only seems to help if you ordered the phone from them. I paid in full for the phone in order to surprise her for a gift, because I knew if they activated it there, her old phone would stop working. Any help is greatly appreciated!Hi CMoe
Well, you do have a little bit of an issue - to activate the phone you need a carrier and a number for it to work as a phone else it is an iPod
Ergo - you have to transfer the number of your child's phone to the new phone
With AT&T you should be able to just get the SIM card out - cut it to the size of Nano SIM and pop it into the new phone and the connection will work
Now of course if your child has pictures, music and contacts - they will need to be transferred over.
Hi! I just bought a new iPhone and I was wondering how i can make sure all my pictures and music will be transfered from…
So there are your options - please let us know how you would like to proceed and if you need any help along the way
(Activating the phone is merely a question of plugging it into iTunes and walking through the process as long as you have a viable internet connection that should be no problem) -
I have been hearing something about trading in a iphone 4 and getting a iphone 5 for around 150 bucks?
Not from Apple. No idea who may be offering that.
