Same Phone, Can I Switch?

My husband and I both have the HTC Droid Eris. He is deployed at the moment and his phone works so much better than mine. He left his phone with me and said I could see about getting my number switched to his phone and the same for his number to mine.  Is this something I can do?  I live in Alaska and the closest Verizon Store to me is a 6 hour drive away. So it's not something where I can just go into the store and ask myself.  Any help would be great.

Call Verizon from another phone and they can help you swap the numbers.  The only issue you may run into is that Verizon has no native towers in Alaska, so I'm not sure if you will be able to re-program the phones.  Help from phone Tech Support will be your best bet.

  • Is it possible to have two numbers that ring to the same phone? I neede a Texas direct number and a Salt Lake City direct number?

    I need two phone numbers with different area codes linked to the same phone, can this be done?

    You can always port a number you already have to Google Voice. The Google Voice account has to be associated with an active cell phone number and then you can have the Google Voice number ring on whichever phone you would like, even multiple phones at the same time.
    When I signed up for Google Voice, I was able to choose a number from my locality. I wasn't necessarily able to get the exchange I wanted, but I certainly got the same area code. I don't know if it has changed since.

  • My new IPad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of the reception. In the same location, my PC and my smart phone get a full bar connection without any issues.  How can I do to fix the issues (can I switch to IPad 2)?

    My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues.  How can I fix it?  Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?

    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account?

    Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account? Should I activate it via WiFi or iTunes? I am filtering on the MAC no and I cannot read that number from the new iPhone without having it activated??!!
    All I want do is to have the new phone activated and then tested!

    Yes, you can do that.

  • How can I switch my phone from blackberry to galaxy s4 mini? Just change SIM card?

    Hi,
    I'm using Blackberry curve 9370 and wanna change it to Samsung galaxy s4 mini. I've purchased s4 mini and not yet received it. So, when I receive the new s4 mini, how can I switch it? Just change SIM card? Both SIM card sizes are the same? Or should I visit nearby verizon store? Please guide me. Thanks in advance!

        Congrats on your new phone MIn-Sun. Since your changing from a Blackberry device to an Android device you will need to make sure all your contacts are backed up. You can use backup assistance to save your contacts and restore them on your Android phone. If you're unsure you can definitely visit a store location in your area. Here are some steps http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/how-to-get-backup-assistant-blackberry/ .

    ive just experienced the same problem i had battery life in my phone and it went off.
    i found the neccessary info to switch my phone on again via apple help centre on the computer.

    I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
    The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
    I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

  • Can i have multiple iphones with the same phone number?

    If I upgrade to iPhone6 can I: a) keep my 4s operational with the same phone number; or b) must I get a new number for one of the two?

    I don't believe your cellular provider will provision 2 SIM cards with the same number. You can forward calls, if your carrier supports it, from one phone to the other depending on which one you have with you.

  • If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.

    I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

    I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately"  So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me  out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

  • How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

    Hi All,
    I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
    How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
    thanks for your replies,
    equi

    Barney,
    many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
    Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
    btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
    I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
    Thanks,
    equi

    Thanks for responding and answering my question. If we decided to use my wife's icloud account as our primary, is there a way to "not sync" the incoming email with her iphone and ipad? That would simplify things greatly because she doesn't read any of her email on her iphone or ipad.
    If you don't want to sync the iCloud email account on her devices, all you would need to do is go to Settings>iCloud on her devices and turn Mail off.  This would remove the email account from her devices but would leave any other iCloud syncing services that you want to use with the account in place.
