Stolen phone, is it possible to purchase a replacement at the upgrade price?

I purchased an iPhone 5 about 2 mo's ago, upgrading from my iPhone 3 (the new phone cost $200).
The phone was stolen from a gym locker about a week ago; I shut it down with AT&T and have had Apple lock it if it's connected to the internet. I didn't have any insurance on it (of course!)
Is it possible to get a replacement phone for the upgrade price, instead of paying $600! Seems that the phone is worthless now, since it's locked and deactivated, but I'm stuck with the remainder of the 2 yr contract! Obviously I'm not looking for a free phone, I just don't want to pay the full $600 since I'm paying AT&T every month fror the contractas it is....
Any advice?
Thanks!
Alan.

You would need to ask AT&T what they will sell the phone to you for. Sometimes carriers will sell you preowned phones.

  • Is it Possible in Purchase Order that putting the BOM, all the components ?

    Is it Possible in Purchase Order that putting the BOM, all the components of that particular ges populated in the Rowt ? This is necessary to select single - single items is PO..
    We are also using MRP and Forecast. We want to use this method in case of placing URGENT Purchase Order without considering WH stock + PO ordered + ....................
    What kind of Query we would write , that  putting the BOM in the UDF, the componenets get populated in Purchase Order...
    Please give complete query.................

    The query I have provided earlier needs to be set in the ItemCode field at the row level and not on your User field at the header.
    The query below (same as earlier with the addition of the user field name - please verify) will show the Child Items of the BOM item who code you have entered at the Header level in your UDF.
    SELECT T0.Code FROM [dbo\].[ITT1\] T0 WHERE T0.Father = $\[OPOR.U_BOMNAME]
    This will not automatically fire but the user has to first enter the Vendor Code and then enter the U_BOMName and then in the Item code field press Shift+F2 which will fire the above query FMS displaying the child Items for this BOM.

  • Is it possible to purchase an iPad in the US, to take back and use in the UK

    Is it possible to purchase an iPad in the US, and take back home to UK for use? I'm not sure if I would have to insert a UK sim into it, or if it would work as is.

    In relation to the new Ipad with retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular version
    After doing some research and speaking with various apple customer care representatives here in the UK the following is what I could find:
    UK will be getting the A1460 model Ipad sold in the US (different mains adaptor).
    Part number for the Ipad: MD522B/A
    I also found the following IPAD A1460 models on the web from a website which seems to be written with Japanese characters
    http://www.speedbusiness.net/shop/products/list_314.html
    ■Apple iPad with RD 16GB MD525xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 16GB  MD522xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 32GB MD526xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 32GB MD523xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 64GB MD527xx/A
    ■Apple iPad with RD 64GB MD524xx/A
    So you can see that the part number MD522B/A given to me by Apple UK tallies up with A1460 16GB cellular version.
    Since you can use Ipad internationally with a local sim of the local country then Ipad A1460 bought from the US will work just fine in the UK. At the moment A1460 in the US is the Verizon/Sprint version if you don't know the model number. (So to clarify It is not locked to Sprint/Verizon (contrary to what I have been told by all the apple reps I spoke to here in the UK - Apple should at least train/inform their reps to say the right things)).
    If you want data connection in the UK just get a sim card for Ipad from
    EE for 4g LTE connection
    or
    T-mobile, Vodafone, 3, and etc for 3G+ connection. 
    The warranty is only relevant if the Ipad bough inthe US is different to what is sold in the UK. But from what I could find the parts are the same, i.e. screen, cover, battery, camera, etc. So if anything goes wrong you can go to Apple UK and they should fix it for you under warranty.
    If you can get away with not paying customs charges then for example 32GB Wi-Fi + Cellular version comes to about about £490 ($720 + lets say 8.5% sales tax if bought in LA  and dividing the total by 1.589 conversion rate between $ and £ ). That is around £89 cheaper than the £579 for the same model sold in the UK.
    Customs limit for importing without customs charge of a single item is £135 and it seems £390 collectively as pointed above. So anything above that in theory you should declare. But obviously that is not practical and customs don't question many of the items. So add up the shoes, jeans, and that digital camera you bought and do the maths.

  • I have had my I-Phone for about 13 months and when I did the upgrade I lost my wifi. Now I am paying data fees that are rediculous. Took it down to Telus where I got the plan and they basically said it is a huge problem but could not help me. What to do?

    I have had my I-Phone for 13 months and then a month after my warranty expired the wifi button greyed out. Never had a problem before updating to the new 7.4
    I am getting charged huge data charges due rto the phone using 3G. How do I fix this or do I have to get a new phone? If this is the case then I will go to a smart phone. My husband has no problems with his smart phone and is as user friendly as the i-phone. 

    Hello Theresa818,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
    I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
    Check for a carrier settings update.
    Update your iPad.
    Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
    Restart your iPad.
    Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
    Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPad as new.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    I know you may have done one or two of the steps here, so you can skip those.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone through Verizon?

    Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone under their warranty plan?  How did you get a resolution or replacement phone?

    Hello dpetrie,
    A lost or stolen phone is definitely not fun! If this is the case then I'm sure that we have an option available for you. May I ask what model device did you lose? As tikibar1 mentioned, do you have insurance on the device? If so then please advise so we can share options with you.
    Thank you...

  • I've had 2 Iphone 6plus stolen last 2 weeks. I am a reasonably careful 50 years old who's had a cell phone since they exist. Surely Apple can think of a way to make these stolen phones more difficult to re-use ?

    I've had 2 Iphone 6plus stolen last 2 weeks. I am a reasonably careful 50 years old who's had a cell phone since they exist. Surely Apple can think of a way to make these stolen phones more difficult to re-use ? No matter the precautions, a cell phone is easy to steal. But it seems even easier to re-use stolen cell phones. I had "find my phone", passwords, and another tracking device on my second stolen phone. Thieves just shut it off and wipe it. You would think with all the technology available, these phones could be rendered completely useless if stolen. Unless of course this "second hand market" is considered valuable.

    Your best bet is to as soon as you realize your device has been stolen is to go to iCloud.com on your computer and put the device in Lost Mode. This gives you the opportunity to not only add a Lock to the screen, but also to send a message to the lowlife who stole you phone, giving them the opportunity to return it, (of course, don't give them any of your personal information!). But you may be able to find a way to communicate with them anonymously via a 3rd party phone or something to see what can be done.
    You will be happy to know that your device and its contents cannot be accessed by the thief, and if you don't care for tracking it, you also can also Erase all of your personal information from the device. This does not remove the Activation Lock, so they still won't be able to use it for anything.....
    Sorry for your troubles,

    I have a new Samsung phone and I live in CT. Last month they charged me $38 on my bill for the sales tax for the new phone which was $600. I'm paying for the phone itself over 20 installments of $30 each.  Now again I'm getting that same $38 charge. I can't  believe that the monthly CT tax is higher than the payment for the phone itself. Does this make sense. Last time I spoke with them on the phone it was for 1 1/4 hours for something simple. I don't want to call unless I need to. The salesman told me nothing about any of this. Thank you for any help you can offer.

    The bill from last month states:
    CT state sales tax**     $38.10
    ** In some states sales tax or surcharges are calculated on the full cost of the full retail price or VZW cost of the device you purchased and not on the discounted price you pay. The sales tax or surcharges charged on your device was based on $599.99 and appears on this first bill.
    The current bill says the same.
    Actually, now I'm realizing that last month's bill stated I was making the first payment toward the phone. Now this month also says it's the first payment toward the phone when it's really the second.

  • I own CS 5Premium. Reading the FAQs, it seems I am eligible to upgrade to CS 6 but I can't find the upgrade to purchase and download. I can't upgrade to CC because $49 per month is too much for me -- I don't use this product for work. The $29 offer seems

    I own CS 5 Design Premium. Reading the FAQs, it seems I am eligible to upgrade to CS 6 but I can't find the upgrade to purchase and download. I can't upgrade to CC because $49 per month is too much for me -- I don't use this product for work. The $29 offer seems reasonable but $49 is way too much. I don't need the majority of the programs included in CC, but subscribing to just three of them will cost way more. Really not sure what to do here :-(

    Thanks Ned. I did find this page, however it isn't an upgrade. I have been purchasing Adobe products for years so that I could just pay the upgrade price for current products. With the current system, I would be paying much more than I would for an upgrade. For example, I have been using my version of CS for at least three years. The upgrade cost me $750 so that comes out to around $21 per month. I guess I have no options as far as upgrading except for paying for the overpriced CC. Oh well, time to start looking for alternatives. It was just so convenient to have the same programs at home that I use at work.

  • HT203167 So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?

    So my iPhone was stolen and most of the music on there was on a computer that I don't have anymore. Is it possible to get those songs back from my stolen phone or are they gone?

    For iTunes purchased music you might be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then unless you had subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded it to it from your computer then no, it won't be stored anywhere

  • The stolen phone can be replaced by someone else

    Please, help me.
    My phone has stolen on 5/14/2013. I called apple technical support number(********) as soon as possible, and reported the situation(the case number is ********). Few days later, which is 5/17/2013, I dialed that number again and wanted to know how was going. And then, the supporter told me that someone took the stolen phone to go to one of the apple stores and replaced the stolen phone because that phone's mic had no sound.
    After the call, I go to the apple store with a policeman. But the stuff, who is the manager at that store, said that he didn't know why that man could replace the stolen phone and didn't have any responsibilities for the mistake. And then, this manager showed his rudeness, didn't even want to talk to us, me and the policeman. Because of the manager's noncooperation, the policeman can do nothing! No one can give me a reasonable explanation! The apple store's stuffs didn't even check the record if it's a stolen phone or not!
    I was wondering if the stolen phone can be replaced at a apple official store without any ownership proof. Don't the stuffs should check the phone's record first? I just want to take my phone back. If anyone has any suggestions, please . Thank you!

    Sorry to hear about your stolen iPhone but, you need to understand that Apple is not law enforcement, they will not try to retrieve a stolen Apple product.  Then will replace an Apple product if they determine that the workmanship was the cause of a problem with a device. That's a good thing for the general public.  I understand your issue that you would like Apple to help you retrieve your stolen iPhone, but that will not happen, that's law enforcement's job.  You should look at this as a learning experience, purchase another iPhone and make sure you keep a close eye on it at all times, they are a hot commodity!

    I have BT Infinity at home with the BT modem connected to the phone line and then to a BThub which delivers the wif signal. I have purchased an airport extreme to improve wi fi strength if how do I connect up to hub it states connect modem to WAN on back of Airport Extreme.
    Instructions do not mention connection to BT Hub and the BT modem has only one output which you dicsonnect from Hub and connect to airport extreme leaving. Once you do this Hub has no signal.
    How do I rectify
    Paul

    you can also set up the Airport extreme to extend the wireless by hitting the wireless tab in the airport menu then click the drop down menu to select extend
    Apple's "extend" function is a proprietary setting that was designed to only work with other Apple routers.
    It would be extremely unlikely that this setting would work with a BT product, or any other manufacturer's product for that matter.
    But, I haven't tested this with a BT product...and I suppose anything is possible.
    Still, I would be extremely surprised if this worked.
    The AirPort Extreme might "join" the BT network if you try this......but the AirPort does not provide any additional wireless signal coverage when it "joins" a wireless network. In fact, it really does nothing when it "joins" a network except enable the USB port.

  • Hi i have a probleme i bought a lot of songs on itunes on my computer that said expicit on them and they wont load on my iphone because on the iphone itunes store it is not possible to purchase songs that say explicit waht do i do?

    yeah so I bought a lot of explicit songs on the iTunes of my computer and also some songs that aren't explicit and for some  reason only the songs that are not explicit load on my phone what can I do
    and on the iTunes of my phone it is not even possible to purchase explicit songs

    Hey lydiabat10,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like the iPhone won't allow explicit content on it. One thing you may want to look at is the Restrictions.

  • Stolen phone- buying a new one (price?)

    I just bought my upgraded phone for $200 in January but it was stolen last night. If I purchase a new 16g phone with my contract how much is it going to cost me?

    Copied from my first post in your other thread asking if you will get a replacement iPhone for free.
    If you want another iPhone, you must purchase another. If you purchased the iPhone at AT&T's subsidized or discounted price, you will pay full price this time, *which will cost you $400 more than you paid originally.*
    The full retail sales price for the 16GB iPhone 4 is $400 more than AT&T's subsidized or discounted price. AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the 16GB iPhone 4 is $199 plus applicable sales tax. The full retail sales price for the 16GB iPhone 4 is $599 plus applicable sales tax.
