Switching from iPhone 5 to Samsung S6

Ok so I want to switch phones and I don't have the next plan and I don't want it. If I buy Te Samsung s6 online can I switch from my iPhone 5 to the Samsung or is that not possible

You may have to buy the S6 at retail price if you are still under contract with the other phone.
If you want to upgrade with a subsidy, you must upgrade at an ATT store or ATT online.
Start merging all your iCloud contacts to Google. Changing platforms means some data will not have an app to go to, but you can find a similar app.
BTW, I imported my iTunes library to google play to make sync with Android easier. Less trouble then I expected. Syncs much faster.

  • Switched from iPhone 4 to Samsung Galaxy S4 and am not receiving iPhone text messages...

    Hello,
    I recently switched from the iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxsy S4 and am no longer able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. I have combed the forums looking for a solution and so far have come up empty handed. What seems to be working for others is not working for me. Here is what I've tried so far:
    Turned on my old iPhone and iPad, went into settings and turned off iMessage, removed iCloud, disabled FaceTime, and disabled my AppleID in the iTunes & App Store settings. I do not own any other devices that could be using my Apple ID.
    I logged into Apple's Apple ID software and unregistered both devices from my Apple ID account.
    I logged into iTunes and changed my Apple ID, address, removed credit card info, and deactivated all accounts attached. I even deleted any backups that were stored. It's basically a generic account now with no information relevant to my old account.
    I went to the Apple Store and they suggested this was a problem with AT&T...
    I spent hours on the phone with AT&T... they directed me to Apple, do you feel my pain?
    I'm losing my mind here, I'm on call 24/7 for my job and rely on emergency call out text messages for critical incident situations. I am not getting those messages because they are being sent from an iPhone based system. If anyone has any additional information on this I'd really appreciate it, I can't afford to wait 45 days for Apple to recognize I am no longer using the Apple ID associated.
    Thanks for your time,
    ~J

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the response. I contacted Apple at the link you listed and spoke with a representative. We walked through the steps I took in my first post above to ensure I had done them correctly. He didn't offer any new suggestions other than making sure my contacts turn on their MMS before texting me.
    Unfortunately that is not working either. I tested this with several friends and I am still not receiving their messages. They get a response immediately upon texting me that says the message was undeliverable. They are able to receive my messages, I just don't get theirs.
    Any other ideas?
    It's mind boggling that Apple has made this such a difficult transition. There should not be repurcussions for choosing to discontinue the use of their product. The only other thing I can think to do is have my service provider change my phone number... what a nightmare.

  • I want to switch from iphone to a samsung but keep my SIM card, I want to switch from iphone to a samsung but keep my SIM card

    I want to keep my SIM card that's in my iphone but it's a nano sim. The galaxy s4 requires micro sim so I can't use the same sim card. How could I get a sim without paying a deactivation fee?

    Also, there are SIM adapters.

    Turned off I message. Now what?

    Do not expect ANY help from Apple.
    I switched to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have been gettig the run around for the last FOUR weeks...the tech I spoke with only returned one of my many phone calls after our initial conversation (in which she told me she reset the computer and I should be all set in 48 hours) to say it should clear itself up, there is nothing she can do to help.

    I switched from iphone 4 to iphone 5 - where are my photos?

    Did you have them backed up anywhere? If not, they are most likely still on your iPhone 4. If you back them up to the cloud or to your computer, you could then place them on your new phone if you wanted.

  • Switched from iPhone to Android and now iMessage being sent instead of Text

    A friend of mine recently switched from iPhone to Android and now my text are being sent as iMessage instead of text and he obviously isn't receiving it. How do I fix this bug. I'm using iPhone 4 running iOS 5

    I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software.  I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks

  • My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching.  Have your friend do the following:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
    Click "unregister"
    This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
    On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

  • After switching from iphone 4 to iphone 6 i lost sync with iMessage on my mac book

    Hello
    I have jsut switched from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6. Previously I could use iMessage sync'ed on my iPhone and my Mac-Book. Now I doesn't work anymore. I went into settings->messages->SMS transfert from the iPhone. I saw the Mac Book being referenced but when I put the switch into green it shows a pop-up asking me to pin-in the code that should be shown in Messages from the Mac-Book but nothing is posted there.
    I hope I am clear. Just trying to get back to what I used to like as very convenient.
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Best
    Pierre

    Hello
    In the meantime while I was working on the issue a window popped on my iPhone asking for my password for iCloud. So I wasn't connected to iCloud and after I connected it all went OK and iPhone 6 now coupled with iMessage on the Mac Book.
    So I'm fixed and thanks again for your help.
    Best

  • How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5.

    How do I switch from iphone 4 to a new iphone 5. I've backed up my iCloud stuff on iCloud, and the rest on the PC. When I try to download the latest software before changing over I'm told my phone has not enough space with 8 still free. Any help appreciate. Thanks. Benbulben1

    Syncing with a new iTunes should not affect your personal data.  The problem is that iTunes can only allow apps, music, movies, and tv shows on the iPhone that are already on the computer and in your iTunes library.  If your non-personal media content is on the computer then you can usually sync without worry even though the error will still appear.
    If in doubt, right-click on the name of your iPhone in the left menu in Itunes and select transfer purchases to back up your iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases before the sync.  Just be aware that this does not work for media from any other sources, so they will be removed from the iPhone if they are not already on the computer.
