Shared house/moving house - changing name on bill/...

Hi
I am moving out of a shared house - I have been looking after the BT account as the named person on the bill was rubbish and paying on time. My email address is attached to this account.
I have ordered a new BT phoneline/broadband in my own name for my new address - however it has attached itself to the older account as I have used the same email address.
My question is - how do I remove myself from the shared house account? And is it possible to pass on the account to another member of the household? I tried to update the details online but it is not possible to isolate the two accounts. If it is not possible to move the contract over to someone else that is fine; would it be possible to cancel one account whilst keeping the new account open?
Thanks!

You cannot change the name on the account without cancelling the original contract in your name. The other person would then have to start a new contract in their name.

Is it possible to change name on bill?

I am wondering if it is possible to change the last name on the bill? When I signed up I used my maiden name as my middle name and it was entered as my last name? Is is possible to change it to my married name?

I would like to change the name on the account to my daughter. <Personal information removed for privacy per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.>

BT bill charges for non service during moving hous...

BT dreadful customer service & incompetence
Hi all,
After deciding to move home I made the necessary arrangements with BT prior to our moving date. Our switch over date was 14th November 2014.
After numerous calls with BT and mostly dealing with multiple BT operators with little knowledge, poor communication skills, lack of interest and on a few occasions extreme rudeness, I was still no further forward with a line connection date.
It became apparent that there was no line services to my new home, which I could understand although I was disappointed not to have been informed of the situation prior to my moving home (a fact BT should be easily aware of)
I spent weeks going round and round with no clear outcomes or specific information returning to me, I actually knew more information from the site builders than BT knew, BT even had the arrogance to tell me that my information from the builders was incorrect (which it wasn't)
Numerous misinformation, conflicting information, non returning of calls, engineer dates that were not upheld, non required engineer dates are amongst a series of frustrating dealings with the vast majority of the BT operators, there were only a few operators that seemed to care and assist and they were at the end of my ordeal of 3 months!!!!!
It was very clear that the information from each phone call between myself and BT was not correctly recorded. On two separate occasions during a singular phone call I actually had to repeat my situation to three separate operators to which I had become accustomed to being transferred amongst.
So to be clear from 14th November 2014 until late February 2015 we were without services.
During one of my many and expensive mobile phone calls to BT I was advised to set up my own mobile broadband and they would foot the bill and repay the expense until they provided a service.
(Which I did as I had no confidence in a connection date within months)
Throughout this ordeal BT had the arrogance to attempt to bill me, even though we had no service!!!!
Here is the kicker.
BT have now disconnected us from their service (31st March2015) for an unpaid bill, a bill we can't get amended and corrected to reflect the 3 months without their incompetent service.
They have even added charges for BT sports which I can't even watch as I have no viewing box, I believe this came free for 6 months) with my original package.
Even this is an issue. I was informed upon moving house that a new contract would commence when I moved home thus starting the 6 months free BT sports package once more (yet another mistake by BT)
We will not pay any form of bill until they amend and correct the bill to reflect we had no service for 3 months.
I have now tried to call to speak to an operator regarding the issue, after entering my home phone number the BT automated service redirects me to the only option which is to pay the outstanding bill!!!
No bill will be paid until it is corrected, I will be sending a bill for the mobile broadband I required to set up and maintain. I am also considering looking into the loss of earnings I suffered due to the length of time I was offline, as well as the amount of time required to deal with the sorry mess. A stressful time enough moving home without this added fiasco.
I am also aware of the Ofcom regulatory body as well as the multiple rules BT will have breached in our contract.
All in all we have endured a long and needlessly complicated mess, which thinking was behind us, is in fact still present. We are seriously considering removing our service completely with BT which I am sure in the eyes of the law will be justified and legally binding due to the numbers of contract breaches sustained by BT.

Hi, I just moved house and I cannot reinstall my TimeCapsule.. I tried several time.. somebody may help me ?

Hi, some difficulties to reinstall my timecapsule since I moved house more than one month ago. I tried several blogs to find a solution but no success. I reinitiate it and the light is green with no disk selection in the Airport.. how is it possible ? It's a nightm.....

Mavericks is the nightmare.
We are finding Mavericks networking to be a big change without corresponding changes being made to help people keep the network naming correct.
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/11/apple-shifts-from-afp-file-sharing-to- smb2-in-os-x-109-mavericks
SMB has tighter rules.
But whenever you change networks.. start with a factory reset. When you say reinitiate I am not sure what reset you are doing. So do the full reset. It will not delete any backup.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Redo the setup using the airport utility. Make sure you are connecting your modem to the TC WAN port by ethernet.
Give the TC names that are pure alphanumeric. Short.. 10 characters or less is best.. 20 characters try to keep as max. No spaces and no special characters. The setup wizard will use names like
Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
It is over long.. it has spaces and it has a nasty apostrophe. Get rid of those names.
For example use,
TCGenX (you can put a number for X.. that is the actual Gen of your TC)
TCwifi (as wifi name.. but you can also use different names like TC24ghz and TC5ghz for the different bands whilst troubleshooting).
Use only WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
Ensure the computer is getting a valid IP address. Plus gateway (what apple call router) and dns.
Ensure ipv6 is set to link-local on the wireless.
That is the start.
Now disk access can still be a mess.
I have now setup 4 different computers for Mavericks.. my network follows all the above rules.. and two of them can access the disk without problem and two do not show the disk.
I consider this situation to be networking of the tin can and wet string kind..
The solution is to manually mount the drive.
In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
And change over to AFP.
AFP://TCname.local (where you use your new compliant name.. in place of TCname and you use the correct domain in the place of local (but that is the default for the TC although nothing tells you that).
Alternatively you can use IP address.
AFP://10.0.1.1 (by default in router mode.. if the TC is bridged you will be better using the name unless you can set the IP statically).
Just post again if you have issues.. and we need the full layout of the network.. what modem what router what mode everything is in. how it is wired or connected. Actual model of your TC, actual firmware it is running.

I've moved house but maps continues to use old address

Having moved house my iMac and iPads continue to show old address as 'current location' in Maps

When you reset the Airport Express did you reuse the same wifi network name? Pick a new one.
Barney-15E is correct, wifi geolocation is used for devices without GPS. Basically there is a database of wifi access points on Apples servers, the device reports what access points it can see & asks for a location based on the strength of those signals.
Renaming your access point may help the DB update info for that wifi transmitter & eventually it will become accurate again. The wifi MAC address will also be in the DB, but you cannot change that.
If you have an iPhone enable the option to submit 'diagnostic & usage' info to Apple. They will gather the wifi & GPS data from around you for the DB that Maps uses. The setting is in settings app General > About > Diagnostics & usage.
I really don't understand what you mean by 'keychain problems' - you should decrease a new topic if you want to address that issue.

Time capsule not showing in airport utility? recently moved house and new internet set up!

Hi
I had a time capsule set up and working perfectly then we moved house, changed ISP and now time capsule light is flashing amber. When I open the Airport Utility only the internet (i.e. a globe) shows, no time capsule. My Macbook Pro has no ethernet port or I would have tried hardwiring! I can enter the time machine but back up history is red.
I read that latest OS may require a rename of the capsule if the original name was long (29 characters including spaces at present) but to change it the support says to access it via the airport utiltiy which I can't do!
Help anyone?!
Sam

Simply factory reset the TC and start over.
Any time you move the network configuration the TC will require a new configuration.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Moved house Sep 12 but number still registered at ...

Hi,
I moved house in Sep' 12 which was extremely problematic. Basically I was with talk talk at my old address but in order to keep my phone number at my new address I had to the following;
1. Quit Talktalk and register with BT at old address.
2. Once registered with BT at old address request transfer of phone number to new address.
3. Set up phone line at new address.
So the engineer kept turning up at my old address to activate the line because the address change was not processed for the new house. Eventually everything was sorted and the phone and broadband has been working at the new house for months. The bill statement online shows the new address.
However.....
I went to try and order Infinity online, the last step of the order process mentions the address the router will go to and I assume the address where the engineer will go to.... lo and behold... the old address is shown on the screen!! I contacted BT online about this and they assure there is n problem but quite frankly I dont trust the information being given and I know that someone would turn up at my old address!
My guess is that the phone number itself is still registered at my old address and someone has merely altered the billing address on a database somewhere. Can someone with the correct database access at BT please sort this out for me?
Happy to provide more information privately.
Many Thanks.
Mark

Keep your email address when moving house

We can help when you move house by switching your Telstra home phone, broadband and entertainment services to your new address.
Just make sure that we know that you want to keep the same email address.
You can either:
start now by filling out our online form for moving home, or

Re: Keep your email address when moving house
I was told I could keep my bigpond email account after I moved home to go to the UK. I just needed it whilst I receved bills / and other correspondence for a few weeks.
My BigPond account has been blocked already - and this is very inconvenient - particularly as I won't be able to receive my final Telstra bill.
Can you please unblock [email protected] -
If you need to call me I am currently in Switzerland and can be reached on +41219210812.
I understand I cannot send emails from this account but I was expecting to still be able to receive correspondence.

Moved house - phone number still not transferred a...

We moved house on 23rd March.
Having previously been with talktalk, I wanted to stay with them but they told me they couldn't keep my phone number and advised me to move to BT.
I called BT on 18th March and ordered the phone line and broadband and was told this would take until 30th March to activate, which I reluctantly accepted.
The broadband and phone line were indeed activated on 30th March, but the phone number assigned was a new one. I called to report this on 30th March and was advised that the problem would be corrected within 24 hours.
On 1st April, I called again as the problem had not been corrected (although the phone number had been changed to another diffrent one). I was advised that talktalk had not released the number and that this would be corrected by midnight on 5th April.
Today is 6th April and the problem still persists - i.e. I still do not have my old phone number. Apparently the number portability team has encountered a problem and there is now a cooling off period such that we will not have our phone number until 20th April!
I have been credited a month's line rental which was nice of BT, but frankly, this is an absolute shambles and I want to be released from the 18-month contract and placed on a month-to-month basis until I find out whether BT is worth staying with. At this time, I have to say I am not sure.
This really angers me - in this day and age there is no excuse for being repeatedly promised one thing only to have the promise repeatedly broken. I'm sure it is simply a case of moving a couple of plugs in the telephone exchange...

Hi Icrule,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting. I am sorry to hear about the problems you have had in getting your old number back. There are a lot of things that can stop an number being transferred from one address to another, the most common of which would be is if that number is tied to another exchange.
I would like to take a look at this for you to see if there is anything I can do to help you get your number back. If you can a look at my profile you will find a link to a "contact us" form.
Please fill in your details making sure to include a link to this post.
Thanks

Moved house - Now Airport Extreme not finding Linksys

So I've been trying to figure this out but am not too versed in wireless stuff. We just moved house. Previously the Airport Extreme worked fine on both our iMac and my work MacBook connecting wirelessly to our Linksys (through Cox) modem.
Now we can see other networks through our AIrport (all password protected) but cannot see our own. ***? Help. We live iwthin 6 blocks of a train line, does that have anythign to do with it?
THanks in advance for your time.

Hello cid_thekid. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Just to make sure I understand your current network configuration, by AirPort Extreme, do you mean the wireless cards in your Macs or the base station. If it's the former, is your network configuration something like the following?
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > (Internet port) Linksys > (wireless) > Macs
Do you have the Linksys' wireless network set up as "closed?" That is, did you disable it from broadcasting it's SSID (network name)? Which encryption are your running: WEP or WPA?

Moved house, now bt vision thinks i'm on ppv

I've just moved house and moved the BT with me. Everything (phone, broadband & BT Vision) was activated two days ago but the BT Vision wants to charge me for using on demand (I have the unlimited package so it should be free) and there is no option to record anything.
I have performed 'hard' resets on all of my equipment and still no change, which leads me to believe the problem is on BT's end rather than mine. I've spoken to the BT help desk but with no luck.
Does anyone have any other suggestions please??

Moved house - terrible experience.

I notified BT on 11th September that I was moving house on the 14th September. I did this by completing the online forms etc. I was told an engineer would visit my new property today (22nd September) which I didn't think was too bad - a week after I moved - i could live with that.
The engineer was scheduled for between 1pm and 6pm. I stayed in all afternoon and the engineer didn't show.
I have gone online tonight (by using BT Wifi) and checked my account only to be shocked to find that the appointment has been changed without telling me. The appointment is now for 2nd October and it will not be activated until then. This is a disgrace. It will mean it is 18 days that I have paid for a service I cannot use.
How can BT do this without telling me? Surely a courtesy email saying the appointment has been changed would be a start. I now have to wait a further 10 days to be activated/
I am now seriously considering cancelling my contract. I am so annoyed that this has happened. I can not watch TV, make phone calls and can only go online by using BT wifi which is so tempermental and impossible to do work (I am a teacher and need to plan lessons and access the internet in the evening.)
Is this a common problem? I could contact a rival provider and be connected in days.
Very very disappointed. I have all the original emails telling me i would be activated on the 22nd. What am I supposed to do for the next 10 days?

My wifi only ipad does not find my new address since moving house

i moved house 5 months ago but Google Maps and Google Earth show my current location as my old address. Is there a way to resolve this problem?

Hi, Gordonbuckley.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend going through the steps in the article below. If the issue persists and your device OS is up to date, I would recommend contacting the developer of the app as this will most likely be the best option to resolve this issue.

Work from home and just moved house, really slow i...

Hello, I have just moved house ( 2 weeks ago) I use to get BT infinity so I was expecting a big drop but nothing like this. When I orderd my new BT package I was told to estimate speed of 12mb.
My internet cuts out regularly - 5 to 10 times aday and most of the time when I get incoming and out going calls.
-I was getting 11.1mb the first two days I moved in.
- Currently plugged into test socket and did the 17070 and 2 and getting some static sound but did this with a wireless phone standing next to the receiver.
-Just got brand new ADSL filters from BT.
Any help would be fantastic due to this is damaging my work with clients - Thank you!

Already talked to BT about BT business two years ago and was told I did not need to "upgrade"
I have contacted a BT enginer who is coming out next week.

Moving house can't keep phone number

So I'll be moving house soon and I'm trying to organise moving my phone, tv and broadband to the new place.
The trouble I'm having is that when filling in the online form it says that not only will I need a new line installed and can't keep my phone number but I won't get all the channels I get just now (standard Vision package).
The new place has had a BT line and is only up the road a bit from where I am just now.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? From what it says before I start filling in the form I should be able to move everything without charge as long as the new place doesn't need a line installed. Which the new place shouldn't need as it was a BT line before.

Have you checked the line in the new property works? If not it'll need to be connected which is normally chargeable.
