Switching over to Verizon family plan with iPhone 4S?

I'm switiching from T-mobile to Verizon for the iPhone. Now the rest of my family would like to switch over as well but only one of them wants the iPhone 4S with me. When I went through a mock purchase with the regular iPhone 4. apple.com told me I had to visit a store to set up my family plan and would not let me pre order anything unless I was starting anew verizon contract by myself without a family plan. Is ther a way around this and if not, what's next? Will the iPhone be available at a Verizon store so my family and I can set up all our phones at once? Or do My brother and I need to go to an apple store to get our iPhones and set up the plan, but from there where and when would the rest of my family get their phones? Can anyone shed any light on this or offer any insight? I'm new to the chaos of trying to get an iPhone, especially when switching carriers. Thanks.

IMO, your best bet is to go to a VZW store and work it all out there.  They can switch you over and get you the phones you want right there in the store.

  • Family plan with iPhone 4

    Is it possible to have a family plan with one iPhone and 3 other regular phones? Would it be the same price as a family plan of 4?

    For existing subscribers, AT&T charges an $18 activation fee for the iPhone.
    After using an original iPhone for a year purchasing a 3G, I was charged an $18 activation fee to activate the 3G. AT&T waived the activation fee for me when activating the iPhone 4.

  • Have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month.  Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks.  Should I up my data for a month then change back.  Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?

    Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
    If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

  • How to upgrade a family plan with 2 new droid x phones and iphones on same plan?

    I am having trouble figuring out a way to renew my family plan with droids X and iphones on the same contract.  I can do it at a Verizon store but the they charge 150 per droid x phone . There are on-line places that let me upgrade to a droid X for free but they do not sell apple iphones.  Any ideas? I need 4 phone two droid X and 2  iphones.  I know the iphone is 200 everywhere.

    Whenever you upgrade, you DO NOT have to do it all at one time, nor all at one place,. Were in America, the freedom to choose your Upgrade time and place

  • Help! Trying to start a family plan with 3 lines and 2 iphones

    Help!
    I am a new customer trying to start a family plan with 3 lines.  I only want 2 iphones.  However, when I get into the "select phones" screen, it dosen't allow me to choose an iphone. 
    When I click on the iphone it takes me to a completely different part of the website where it only allows me to buy individual plans for each iphone.
    Help!  Thanks!

    I am having the same problem but only want 2 lines and 1 iPhone.  But for you I think you can order the 2 iPhones and checkout and then just add another line.  I am not sure but what I got from other people is that would work.

  • Family plan with ONE iphone

    (and pick the other phones later/at an AT&T store)

  • Remove data plan from family plan with basic phones?

    Is there a way to remove a data plan from a family plan with just basic phones on it? We used to have a $20/month basic plan until we had to get a data plan for our son's iPhone. He no longer has the iPhone with Verizon and has removed his line from the plan because he has an Android with Sprint. We also were required to use the data plan because we at one point had one of those "Hotspot" devices as a temporary solution for at-home Internet until our DSL line could be fixed. As of now we no longer have the hotspot device or the iPhone, but we still have a data plan that is patently useless because all we have are basic phones. On the My Verizon Wireless website, it says that "your text and data are now bundled with your plan" or something to that effect. I don't want to be paying extra for a useless data plan that we don't need or want because we are not in the market for fancy smart phones or tablets any time soon.
    Is there any way to unbundle or detach the data plan so that we no longer have one and just have the unlimited text and calling plan without data? Our daughter is fine with her EnV Touch from 2005 and us old folks are perfectly content with the basic flip phones. Is the EnV a data phone too, in which case we should get rid of the EnV Touch in favor of an even more "basic" basic phone? She's not much of a technology buff like her brother is and has even suggested getting rid of the "fancier" phone that she has for a basic flip phone. Are we stuck with the data plan unless we break everyone off from the family plan (it's just me, my husband, my daughter, and my sister for right now) and move everyone to pay-as-you-go or no-contract? Wouldn't that end up costing more in the long run? How can we get rid of this annoying and expensive data plan that nobody on our network even uses and is causing a headache of expense?

    As I understand the plans now (and this could be wrong, they change so often I get confused!!) to have the "pay as you go" data, on the More Everything, you have 700 shared minutes.  To bump up to unlimited minutes, there is an attached data plan of 500 MB, and the total cost for 4 basic phones, unlimited minutes and text, 500 MB data, is $100/mo  ($20 for each basic phone line access, and $20 for the data).  The 700 shared minutes and pay as you go data is $85.
    You can change your plan at any time.

  • ATT family plan & two iPhones

    Hello
    I have family plan with AT&T. I've bought iPhone right after world premiere. My girlfriend has different phone and her own number (obviously). Right now I would like to get new 3G iPhone (June-July). It's going to be connected with my girlfriends phone number. Later I would like to give my old iPhone to my girlfriend and transfer her number to my old iPhone, and I'll use new iPhone with my own phone number. Is it possible to "transfer" phone numbers between iPhones (without signing new contract with AT&T?

    No one but Apple knows when the 3G iPhone will be released. It's not necessarily connected with the June firmware/app store release. All Apple has said is that it will be sometime in 2008 - that could be December for all we know.
    As far as the number switching...I don't see why that wouldn't be possible. I would call AT&T. In any event, I don't see how switching numbers between phones would cause a contract renewal.
    And why does your girlfriend get your old phone and YOU get the new one?

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • About to buy ipad2, Verizon aircard is already built in to my notebook - can I share that Verizon data plan with my new Verizon iPad2?

    I am about to buy an ipad2.  I already have a Verizon aircard built in to my SONY notebook - can I share that same existing Verizon data plan with my new Verizon iPad2?  I would rather not to have to buy a second data plan.
    Thanks for your input

    No.
    If your notebook can be set up as an adhoc WiFi network or HotSpot you could use that instead of activating the plan on the iPad 2.

  • Family plan with just one iPhone?

    Hi. I cannot find any help on the AT&T site.
    What would the rate be to add a non-iPhone to a basic iPhone plan?
    Rick

    I'm on a FamilyTalk plan with my husband. I have the iPhone and he has a regular phone...nothing was affected other than losing my monthly discount and adding the iPhone data plan.
    Just activate the phone and continue on your merry way.

  • Can I use the same sim card when I switch to the verizon edge plan?

    I will be receiving my new Samsung Galaxy s5 that will be on the Verizon Edge plan. It will be arriving with a sim card. Can I just take my current sim card on my current phone and just use it with the s5? or will I have to use the sim card it comes with because I switched to the Edge plan?

    You should be able to use the same SIM card; if they are different sizes, you can get an adapter or go ahead and use the SIM card that comes with the phone.

  • Family Plan: 2 iPhones - 1 Computer

    I'm just about ready to buy my 2 iPhones (for me and my girlfriend), and I'm going for the family plan, plus unlimited texting for the both of us, which would be an additional $30, if I'm correct.
    What I'm thinking about now is the activation. If it helps to answering my question, I own a 2nd generation Mid-end MacBook, my girlfriend a 1st generation iMac 17-inch. We don't live together.
    Okay, now my question is how the activation of two iPhones work through the Family Plan using one computer (my MacBook). I'm guessing I plug in both iPhones to my USB ports, occupying the only two that's there, and I just go through the whole process like normal? But, the thing is, how does the second iPhone get activated? I mean, will activating one iPhone with a Family Plan detect the other one that I have plugged in? Or do I have to activate them individually?
    o_0
    I'm sorry if I'm not making any sense. It's hard for me to explain. I'm want to get through this activation thing w/o any issues whatsoever so I can just go ahead and use them immediately. I really don't want to have to go back to the Apple store or AT&T to sort this out.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think this is going to work OK, considering what I've read above. But if you'd indulge me so I could clarify my understanding of this.
    I've had an iPhone for a couple of months now, and my son, who lives in another city, is getting his mom an iPhone for Mother's Day. I have the single-user AT&T plan, of course. If I understand the above correctly, in order to add the second iPhone to my account and change the account to a Family Plan, I would:
    • Dock the new iPhone to my computer, using my iTunes account.
    • At the appropriate prompt, select the option to add the new iPhone to an existing account.
    • Follow directions to convert that account to a Family Plan (according to whatever options I choose).
    • Let the iPhone activate, then check my AT&T Web page to make sure my wife's name appears as the primary user.
    Correct?
    I'll also need to add the ability for her iPhone to make calls to The Philippines, but I assume I'll do that by later calling AT&T and requesting that service.

  • Over charged on Family Plan?

    I am on the 1400 min Family shares plan and as I understand it you pay a set price for the first two lines and then $9.99 for each additional line up to 3 more.  My question is I have 4 phones and 3 are getting charged $9.99.  Am I getting overcharged?  Is anyone else?
    thanks 

    Look at how the pricing is broken down on your detailed billing statement.
    You'll notice that the price for the primary line is $9.99 less than the amount quoted on the Verizon website.  For convenience, Verizon states that the Family Share plans cost $XX.XX for the first two lines, but they actually bill them as the charge for the primary line (which is that price less $9.99) and then $9.99 for each secondary line on the account.
