I just signed up for Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service? I have decided to switch to another service provider. Are there any other cancellation fees on top of the $350 per line fee? Am I stuck with the phone?

I just signed up with Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service. I know about the ETF fee of $350/ per line but are there any other fees I will need to pay for the actual phone.

There are no other fees. You are not stuck with the phone, you can do whatever you would like to do with it.

Stuck with my phone :(

Hell started once I joined Verizon. Joined my sister plan to bundle up and supposed to save money. Went to the store and left happy thinking we got a great service. My sister gave me her Iphone 4 and she upgraded to the Iphone 5 and that was that everything was supposed to be dandy carried over with insurance plan and everything. Load and behold out first bill comes, notice it was about 20$ more than the verizon guy said it was going to be. We later figured out that he explain the prices a bit off but that fine he did a little mistake, we try to call customer service and tell them nothing they said he was right but said and wrote down wrong info. They did nothing so we lived with it, thinking oh well that 240 dollar we wont be able to get back. Then another hit to the face, they never carried over my sister insurance to the new line. So now I just stuck with a cracked phone and sadness from a company full of lies. They wouldn't ever offer the new contract deal for the new phone I need, contract was start less that 4months ago. I will most likely just cancel the line and take the 200 dollar hit and go back to t mobile, will end up being the same price as buying a new one from Verizon. Just had to vent.

Why would they give you a new contract when you are only four months into your first one? Imagine if they did allow this, and let you tack an additional two years on your existing contract. You would now be bound to a 40 month contract with the device you picked. Then add another two years when that phone breaks...you could be in contract with Verizon for a LONG time if this was allowed. It doesn't make sense, so Verizon simply doesn't offer it. It sounds like your sister took advantage of you, adding a line so she could upgrade early, leaving you with an old phone and no options. I would suggest finding out when her upgrade is and use that when you can, and In the meantime, buy a used phone if yours is no longer functioning correctly.

HT3529 iMessage appearing in 2 different iPhones with distinct phone numbers but using same apple ID

I and my friend both use same apple ID. When someone sends me an iMessage to my iPhone, it goes to his iPhone with separate phone number also. When I send someone an iMessage from my iPhone, the message will appear as sent from his iPhone also. But the receiving person will get only one iMessage (from my number).
Both of us have ios 6 and separate phone numbers but same apple ID.
How is this possible?
When I checked setting on iMessage on my phone, send and receive shows my phone number and email address only.
Has my iPhone been hacked by him?
Please help

iMessage is linked to a phone number AND an email (Apple ID) address.
Sorry for bugging cheonweb but I just want to be clarified:
1) If the phone numbers are different but the Apple ID is same, he would still get iMessages sent from/to my Phone number?
2) Why is it not vice versa? Why do I not get messages sent from/to his iPhone?
Thanks in advance

Perhaps if you gave some details and specifics, people could actually assist you.

Stuck with defective phone

Got a DNA when I signed up for Verizon and have had the SIM error ever since. They keep sending replacements or have me take it to the store, told them enough I want the phone replaced with something that works. They told me the phone isn't carried anymore and my only option is to buy a new phone through the edge program...what a joke!

If your device is within the one year warranty you may get some decent help from HTC.
There really aren't any promotions being offered from other carriers. Everyone is pushing their programs like Verizon's Edge. Sure, you may find a lower monthly service fee but, other than AT&T, you won't receive anything comparable to VZW. All of them have figured out that nobody really wants contracts any longer and that means these programs are better for their bottom line. You won't receive any discounts on devices because you are paying monthly for them based on the full cost. If you use less than 2GB of data, I've read that many people on the forums have $60 plan.

I sold my iphone 3gs to a friend and then i bought it back and reset it now it says apple ID is associated with another device and cant use my ID for 90 days, how do i get around that?

FRUSTRATED! With Update - Please help cant use itunes at all

I have tried to update my itunes to the latest version it does not work and now i can not even open the old version - let me explain what pops up as I try to do the update.
After I have saved and open the itunes set up the following things happen
I click install and a box opens that reads
- the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailabe. Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below.
I click ok and another window pops up that says
- The path 'c\documentsandsettings\Becky\Localsettings\applicationdata\apple\applesoftware update\itunes.msi' can not be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'itunes.msi'in a folder from which you can install the product itunes.
the next thing that happens is I click ok (because this is the only option that it gives me)then it goes back to the first message that it gave me. Then when I try to close the window it tells me
- the older version of itunes can not be removed contact your technical support group.
CAN ANY ONE HELP ME WITH THIS PLEASE - I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO UPDATE MY IPOD AND ADD SOME MORE MUSIC TO IT.
THANKS SO MUCH
BECKY

When you get messages about problems with msi files, you need to clean up your installer files with the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility. Here is a method for removal of the old iTunes, clean up and reinstall:
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is there a sim in the iPhone?
Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
than the original wireless provider?
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at

HT1766 hi i just got a brand new iphone 5s i tryed to set it up but it doesnt work. when i plug it in with itunes it does all the back up and restore and when its finished i still cant use the phone as i still ask me to start the set up from the beginning

hi i just got a brand new iphone 5s i connected to itunes to restore all my data from the previous phone. when all the back up is finished i still cant use the phone as it ask me to restart again.... dont know what to do i tryed to restore 3/4 times but again when the restore is completed i still can't use the phone????

Replacements via Apple tech support are usually refurbished units, not new stock, though none of us here can say with certainty what you will receive. But you will not be able to tell the difference between new stock and a refurbished unit, and refurbished units generally go through more extensive testing than do new units, so getting a refurb may well be better than getting new stock.

As RG said, you cannot determine solely from the model number whether an iPhone is unlocked or not. In what country and from what dealer did you buy this iPhone?
