Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB Some questions?

Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB and was wondering what troubles if any i might run into?
Once i recieve the 8gb model can i just switch sim cards? that way my 8gb will have evrything my 4gb had on it and the person i am selling it too will have a sim card that hasn't been activated ?
Anyone know of any problems i might have? maybe having to restart my 2 year contract with at&t for some reason?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Good question.
I believe that your SIM card should be interchangeable between your old 4GB iPhone and your new 8GB iPhone. Of course, if you take your SIM out of the old 4G what will the buyer of your 4G use for a SIM card to get started - are you planning to give him the non-registered SIM from the 8G that you get?
If not, how do you expect him to get a SIM card unless you expect him to have to buy one from AT&T?
I think that if the old SIM works, there should be no need to restart your two (2) year contract but first the old SIM needs to work.
Let us know what happens.

  • Sold my 3G, Upgraded to 4 - SIM Questions

    I posted this in the 3g section, but realized it probably belongs here. Sorry for the double post...
    Ok, I know it's a good idea to remove the sim card but hear me out.
    I just upgraded to the iphone 4 and sold my iphone 3g on ebay. The auction has already ended. I made a typo and said that the SIM card was included when I meant to say it wasn't.
    So, my question is... does it really matter? I've wiped the data from the phone, restored the phone as new, and wiped again for good measure. My phone number is active on the new micro-SIM in the iphone 4.
    Is there any security/privacy issue with shipping the old sim card to the buyer? I've contacted them to let them know, but if it's a moot point I'd rather just ship it than risk the negative feedback.
    Any help is appreciated.

    The SIM Card does not store any information unless it's a normal phone to iPhone. If you don't have a SIM Card with the old phone, they can get a SIM Card with their contract. They can also pull out the old SIM Card and put a new one in as long as it's a 3G SIM.
    After deactivating the old i3G, the SIM Card becomes useless.

  • Upgrading kt4v mobo, some questions

    hi,
    recently I bought a Kt4v mobo, but I still use an amd 1.2 ghz duron as processor, therefore my mobo is set to 100fsb atm with is bad  ;(
    I'm thinking about upgrading to an AMD athlon but I have some questions.
    I'd like to get my FSB at 166, I'm currently using 2 256mb DDR ram sticks with a speed of 333mhz, is that possible?
    (well, actualy one is 400mhz, but as this mobo only supports one stick of ddr400, it's set to 333)
    what is the fastest Processor my mobo can handle with that kind of ram?
    and should I change other speeds when installing it like my AGP bus speed etc.. to prevent them beiing damaged after upping the fsb?
    that's all, If someone could answer these I'd be very gratefull, thx
    oh yeah, specs:
    AMD duron 1.2 ghz 200fsb
    KTV4 MSI mobo
    Point of view Geforce 4 TI 4280 128mb
    512 MB DDR 333mhz
    Maxtor 80 gig 7200rpm
    samsung 20 gig 5400rpm
    Logitech mx 700 mouse
    wondows XP Pro
    3com nic etc etc etc

    or is it set automatically?
    Yepp!
    Quote
    are Athlon Xp's unlocked by default...should set the multiplier like this then: 12.5 X 166= 2158 mhz
    Just let the board handle it, all bios-settings on AUTO.
    Quote
    250 watt which might be on the low side
    I think the board wouldn't even boot... :D
    Psu should have more then 25A/3.3V, 35A/5V and 200W combined power.

  • Today i am going to buy iphone 4s . i have some questions.

      i wanto to buy   IPhone 4S off contract from apple store , will they sell it to me?  is it a factory unlocked  iphone??  if i need any repairs in the future .what happens if i send it to repair , will they give me a AT&T phone ,   do i need to wait for the "factory" unlocked that is supossed to come in november ?  the last one ,
    when there is an update for the iphone, i want to update it. but my iphone is factory unlocked . and i was wondering if it will still be factory unlocked if i updated it?
    because i just heard .someone already bought a  free-contract iphone 4s at the apple store. you just need to CONNECT to itunes and then it said," congratulation your iphone has been unlocked"   is it true ?        can someone answer my question?       
    i am waiting for your question......................
    [ thank.]

    That is impossible since every iPhone sold in the USA until the November release will have some sort of sim card in it. What differs is whether you purchase subsidized or not. Once the item is purchased without any subsidy it is automatically unlocked. I've unlocked two so far just by plugging them into iTunes: "Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked".
    The unlocked packaging will be exactly the same but will have different SKU numbers and will not come with a sim card and will have an ejector tool.
    I just had some issues replacing my unlocked phone since it was malfunctioning. They replaced it with a locked unit & then came to the conclusion they are unable to unlock it. I had to return the phone and repurchase another for the unlock to work again. Come Novemeber they will have actual "unlocked" replacements.

  • 9i to 10g (10.2.0.4) Upgrade... some questions

    Hello,
    I am currently analysing the upgrade requirements for my organisation to upgrade our Backend databases from 9i to 10g (release 10.2.0.4).
    We are currently using a COTS application to interface the database. There are a number of things i am unsure of in regards to the prequisites etc that need to be completed.
    Oracle is running on the HP-UX Operating system, our DBA's are quite happy with the upgrade process so not many issues here.
    The questions i have are mainly from a Windows server interfacing point of view.
    What versions of ODBC drivers are needed to talk to 10g?
    Does the current version of SQL*Plus (8.0.5.0.0) need to be upgraded?
    Do the version of Oracle Reporting still work? (9.0.2.3.0)?
    Are there any deprecated SQL statements or such like that will be need to be checked for in current scripts / sql?
    Is there anything else i need to be aware of during the upgrade?
    Rgds,
    Andy Paton
    COTS Functional Analyst

    Hi Andy,
    10.2.0.4 is the latest release from Oracle. you can get more information from Metalink or oracle.com
    On Metalink you can fin 10g Database Upgrade Companion for answers to most of your questions
    Hope that helps

  • Hi! I'm getting an iPhone 4 soon, so my question is; is there some kind of "app" that can upgrade iPhone 4 to 4s?

    I'm getting an iPhone 4 soon, so my question is; is there some kind of "app" that can upgrade iPhone 4 to 4s?

    No, there isn't.
    The phones are different as in with different hardware.
    If you want a 4s then I would suggest in getting the 4s.

  • Have a small question on the 4gb iphones.

    i just wanted to know since they have discontinued the 4gb iphone..if you need to have your iphone replace due to defects are they still able to give you another 4gb or do they need to give you an 8gb since they are no longer available..okay this would be greatly appreciate if someone could help me on this.

    The clearance section of Apple.com still has 4gb iPhones for sale, and that is not including any refurb stock they have on hand, so they will have units to repair or replace with for quite a while.
    If for some reason they were unable to repair or replace your 4gb model I am sure they would upgrade you or refund your purchase price... either way, I am confident they will take care of you.

  • Some questions regarding the iPhone app

    Hi, I have an iPhone 6 Plus using the app version as I don't own a computer, and am currently on my second day of the 7-day Premium Free Trial period. I just have some questions I'd like to ask about it:
    1) I have an extremely large music library, and I'm pleased to see that Spotify has most of what I own. However, for the past several hours it refuses to let me add any new artists/albums/songs to my lists, and when a new album is added, it will vanish from the artist list the next time I turn on my phone. At the same time, I actually tried deleting one of my artists from my Artist list, only to have to reappear the same way. Is this an error, or is there a limit of how much content you can add to your lists?
    2) What happens when the 7-day trial period is over? Does it just start automatically billing me, or does it give the option of opting out?
    Thanks for your help in advance. :)

    Hello , Welcome to the community! :)
    I am unaware of a bug like that, is their any chance that it could be fixed by now
    If you gave payment info/subscribed via itunes then yes it will start billing you, you stop this by folowing these steps:
    Canceling your subscription reverts your account to the Free level.
    Go to the subscription page. (Note: If you don’t know your password, go here to reset it.)
    Under Subscription and payment, click cancel your subscription.
    Select a reason (select Other reasons if you're canceling for a promotion). Click CONTINUE.
    Click CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION.
    Enter your password in the password field. Click CANCEL SPOTIFY PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION.
    Your subscription page now shows the date you will revert to our Free ad-based service. We hope you decide to upgrade again!
    Note: If you subscribed through any other company than Spotify, you need to contact that company to cancel. If your subscription is through iTunes, please see Apple's instructions for canceling.
    I hope this helped :)

  • I want to buy a new mac.  Would a 21.5 inch Imac run Aperture 3 with 4GB or ram until I can upgrade to 8GB

    I want to buy a new mac.  Would a 21.5 inch Imac run Aperture 3 with 4GB or ram until I can upgrade to 8GB?  And would the stock 512mb video card be fine.

    davidfromdartmouth wrote:Would a 21.5 inch Imac run Aperture 3 with 4GB or ram until I can upgrade to 8GB?
    Specifically, after you buy a Mac test for RAM needs by calculating page outs as described below. The good news is that RAM is cheap enough that every Aperture user who can should upgrade to at least 8 GB RAM.
    And would the stock 512mb video card be fine.
    All 2011 Macs will "run" Aperture, but lesser CPUs and/or lesser GPUs will provide lesser performance. What "fine" is depends on your workflow and how demanding you are. There are some folks here happy with the power of the box you suggest.
    GENERIC UPGRADE ADVICE
    Apologies in advance to those for whom this info is redundant.
    Some general guidelines for operation of heavy graphics applications (specifically Aperture):
    • Only the strongest Macs will provide the strongest operation. Owners of weaker boxes (CPU, GPU, i/o, RAM) or older boxes will experience lesser performance.
    • There is a huge difference in hardware needs among workflows. A heavy pro workflow will only work best on a top well-equipped modern box.
    • As RAM prices continually fall RAM needs will continually grow. This has been true since the beginning of computing.
    OS X has enabled Photoshop, for instance, to take advantage of at least 32 GB RAM for many years even though 32-bit operation limited direct RAM access to ~3 GB RAM.
    • All computers/OSs/workflows are different. Each individual user needs to carefully evaluate (meaning see what the early adopters report) workflow and hardware operation BEFORE upgrading any application or OS.
    • Hardware upgrades should be planned for always-increasing future OS/application demands, not just for today. After all, a computer purchased today is used for the next 3 years, not last year.
    • SSDs rock.  All users, all apps will benefit from using a solid state drive as the boot/apps drive. Strongly recommended. RAM-challenged setups will additionally benefit from 10x faster page outs.
    • All users should regularly evaluate their workflows by checking the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a work session; then rechecking after working. If the page outs number increased significantly during operation the workflow is RAM-starved and steps should be taken, such as increasing RAM or restarting and running only one app at a time - - or switching from 64-bit operation to 32-bit operation. [Note: this is a manual calculation of any change in page outs. Ignore the cute pie charts, page ins, etc.]

  • [Urgent] Some questions about OID/OSSO 10g - 11g upgrade

    Dear all,
    We are under doing upgrading assessment of OID/OSSO 10g to 11g for a customer. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
    1.     Whether the ‘10g DIP profiles’ will be still available after the OID 11g upgrade? Currently there are some sync of AD<->OID and DB->OID.
    2.     Whether the ‘WNA’ function will still work after the upgrade?
    3.     Is there a big change of OID API from 10g to 11g? If so, I think a big effort maybe on application modification.
    4.     I found that there is a OAM Basic version for OSSO 10g upgrade. So if this OAM Basic will migrate the OSSO configuration (like external application) automatically, or it must be re-configed after the upgrade?
    5.     Currently customer config OID 10g as BPEL/ESB’s identity store. So does BPEL/ESB 10g is certificated with OID 11g also? I didn’t find the certification so far.
    Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

  • [Urgent] Some questions about Oracle Portal 10g - 11g upgrade

    Dear friends,
    We are under doing upgrading assessment of Oracle Portal from 10g to 11g. After reviewed the 'upgrading guide', we still have some questions as below:
    1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?
    2. Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?
    3. How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?
    4. Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?
    Thank you in advance and any comment are welcome.

    1. Whether the 'Instant Portal' feature remain in Oracle Portal 11g? If yes, how to migrate the Instant Portal 10g sites? If no, any workaround?Instant Portal is not available anymore in Oracle Portal 11g. The Instant Portal page groups will be migrated to standard Portal page groups. Maintenance of the Instant Portal can be done with the standard Portal tools. The Instant Portal tools are not available anymore.
    Whether the old 10g Page Group and Pages will be still available after 11g upgrade? Also can customer import the old 10g transportset into Portal 11g?Old 10g Page Groups are migrated to Portal 11g. They will still be available after the upgrade.
    Export/Import through transports sets has always been limited to instances of the same version. It is not supported between versions as documented in the Administration Guide :
    [11.2.1|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/portal.1111/e10239/cg_imex.htm#CCJBCCGD] System Requirements
    Before exporting and importing content, ensure that your system meets the minimum system requirements, as described in this section.
    Notes:
    * Export and import functions only within the same release of Oracle Portal and the same patch release, for example, release 10.1.4 to release 10.1.4 or release 11.1.1 to release 11.1.1. You cannot export and import between two different releases, such as release 10.1.2 to release 10.1.4 or release 10.1.4 to release 11.1.1.
    How about the customized Portal 10g objects (such as customized template, style, attributes) after 11g upgrade? Still be usable?Customized objects get migrated as well. Certain types (e.g. PL/SQL item types) need to be checked after upgrade as the behavior of the PL/SQL code may differ between database versions. This is particularly of concern when the 10.1.4.x Portal uses a 10.1 database. A database upgrade to either 10.2, 11.1 or 11.2 is necessary as Portal 11g is not supported with RDBMS 10.1.
    Customer use PDK to develop many portlets in 10g. Can they use JDeveloper 11g to migrate their old project to 11g automatically?Never done this, but the Portal framework is able to consume JPDK providers which are running in older versions of the toolkit. If the providers are running in standalone OC4J containers, you would be able to upgrade the framework and keep the providers in their OC4J containers. This will allow you to focus on the framework first and worry about your providers later.
    Thanks,

  • 8GB iPhone thinks it is a 4GB iPhone

    I was having issues with my 8GB iPhone and took it to a Genis Bar and after much trouble and making two trips, they finally replaced my iPhone. That was great however now that I have had the phone for two weeks I am noticing that the phone is showing that the capacity is only 3.5GB and not the 8GB that is shown on the back of the iPhone and what they were suppose to be giving me. Has anyone else had a issue like this? When I talked to tech support the had never heard of this happen and told me to take phone back to Apple Store because they did not have any phone to swap me out.

    Sounds like you were given a 4GB iPhone as an exchange for your 8GB iPhone.
    Was the capacity on this iPhone ever shown as 7.3GB (Settings > General > About), which is the actual capacity of an 8GB iPhone?
    Since your exchange was likely a refurb, it is possible a new case showing 8GB was installed on a 4GB.
    I would take it back to the Apple Store.

  • How much does upgrading my macbook aluminum unibody 2008 from 4gb of ram to 8gb of ram cost?

    Hello i would like to know if anyone has any experience of upgrading from 4gb of ram to 8gb on the aluminum macbook and how much would it cost at apple stores?

    Check out OWC and DataMem, but quite frankly it doesn't make a lot of difference if you look for a cheap price. If the product carries a lifetime manufacturer's guaranty and the vendor provides a liberal return policy shop with your pocketbook. Be sure you get memory that meets the specs required for your computer. There's no advantage to buying a brand name.
