Switching phones--why can't I keep the same data plan?

I am on a family plan with three phones on it, two of which are Android phones.  The third line, currently suspended by me, is on an LG Env3.  Before the data plans changed, I added the unlimited data to the phone for $29.99.  I reactivated the line to verify the data plan shows on it, and then suspended the phone again. 
I want to use this extra line as a house phone, and I have an HTC Eris I'd like to use.  Since it's a smart phone, I know I have to have a data package, which is already attached to the line.  When I got on-line and tried to reactivate the line, changing it to the Eris, a window popped up telling me I have to switch to one of the new data plans. 
Anyone have any idea why it is doing this?  I changed from the Eris to a Thunderbolt on one of the other lines two weeks ago, and had no problem keeping the unlimited $29.99 plan. 
If I call customer service and do it with a rep, will I be able to keep the $29.99 data plan? 
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

LG Env3 is not a smartphone. The feature phone unlimited data plan is coded differently than the smartphone unlimited data plan. If you change that line to a smartphone (like a Droid Eris) you have to select from the currently available data plan options.
As long as you keep a feature phone on that line you can keep the grandfathered feature phone unlimited data plan.

  • I created my Apple ID in Ireland, but would now like to switch to a German Apple ID, keeping the same email address. How do I delete my old Irish Apple ID, so I can create a new German one with the same email?

    I created my Apple ID in Ireland, but would now like to switch to a German Apple ID, keeping the same email address. How do I delete my old Irish Apple ID, so I can create a new German one with the same email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
    You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

  • Why can't I restore the same version IOS that's on my phone?

    My iPhone 4s has apps on it that are not iOS 6x or even 7x compatible. iTunes/Apple won't let me restore the same version of iOS 5 that is currently on my phone that won't boot up. I have no options anymore except to pay.
    1. I can pay a developer to migrate the app I use for work to iOS7 and eventually run into the same problem later and pay AGAIN.
    2. I can ditch Apple (because there is no logical reason for this) and pay to go over to a Google phone and pay to migrate my app over to android but have the peace of mind that I won't be forced to do what android wants me to do anymore.
    I bought an iPhone, an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4S. I don't like using the latest and greatest because I only really care about doing what *I* want to do with *MY* phone. I don't like being told I can't have what I've been using for the past 2 years because Apple has changed a policy or something.
    Is Apple doing ANYTHING for people like me or are we just screwed? Can anyone explain why Apple would disallow reinstallation of an iOS i've been using for years now?

    if you're saying the default function of 'restore' has always been update to latest for your device you'd all be correct.. but that's not what i'm talking about. shift+click restore and you'll be prompted to browse for your firmware. since the dawn of the iphone (ask anyone that's actually used this feature) you have always been able to use this feature to install same-version ios as to what version is on the device. in the past it was more open, allowing you to update to any version above the one you're on, but that was taken away back in IOS3.. for example.
    i'm sure for the average user who has no idea what version ios they use or want this would be completely transparent so i don't really blame you for not knowing or using this feature. for others like me this is a big deal. hopefully someone else who is on the same page as i am will chime in..
    i think it's a little crazy to force your users to only use the specific version ios you want them to. have you tried ios7 on an ipad2? hello lag. there are more reasons than mine to want to be able to control what software runs on YOUR hardware.. think about it.

  • Why can't I have the same apple ID for iCloud and iTunes?

    After down loading the latest upgrade on my 5s, the iCloud Apple ID (which is an email address I don't use) keeps asking me for a password that I don't have.  When I change it to a new password (I've done it 4 times) it keeps going back to the password is incorrect.  I've tried to restore the phone to factory settings and that still doesn't work. I have no problem with my Itunes ID or password so I don't know how to change the iCloud ID or password so it can be the same ID and password for iTunes.  Can someone help me bc I'm about to go crazy!

    I'm not entirely clear about which Apple ID you are describing. Is this the ID for Settings/iCloud? You say it isn't an email you use. But was it an email you ever used? Or is it one you don't recognize? If you used it in the past you can reset your Apple ID to it temporarily (https://appleid.apple.com), log out, then log back in with the new one. If you forgot the password you can attempt to find it at https://iforgot.apple.com. As a fallback you can contact Apple Account Security at Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.
    If you are not the first owner of the phone and the Apple ID is NOT one that you have ever used the phone is Activation Locked to the previous owner, and only the previous owner can unlock it.

  • Why can't i save the same bookmarks in different locations?

    Why can't I save a bookmark for a particular site in multiple locations? If I already have it saved, for instance, in the bookmarks menu, and I then try to save an additional copy into the bookmarks folder, the copy in the bookmarks menu will disappear. This is incredibly frustrating. Thanks.

    Using the "star" at the right end of the Location bar, you can only save to one location.
    Using the Bookmark Sidebar (CTRL+B opens and closes the Bookmarks Sidebar), you can drag the icon at the left end of the Location Bar to other locations, one at a time, into a folder (will be placed at the bottom of the items already in the folder) or into any position, including a position within a folder. The image below demonstrates; the image is old, but the method still works. This is the only method that I use for Bookmarking, as I place some Bookmarks in multiple folders and I keep the Bookmarks Sidebar open most of the time for easier access.

  • Why can you not have the same Siri voice used in the US version in the UK and Global search should be available

    I have just recently purchased the new iPhone 4s and it is great.
    I am now using Siri a lot,however I don’t like the fact that in the UK only the man's voice is available.
    I think we should have a choice of a Lady / a man assistant and not just a man who's voice is the same/ very similar to the one used for voice control on the iPhone 4.
    Now that we all know that Siri is useless without an internet connection then why only allow Siri to search for items, businesses, addresses etc only in the country you’re in i.e. the UK.
    Where if you just go onto the internet or use the built in maps application you can search anything you   self without restriction.
    I think Apple should really consider thinkingabout this in there next software update for the iPhone 4s.

  • Why can't I use the same email for messages on the IPad as the iPhone?

    I've just upgraded my iPad 2 with iOS 5, I'm trying to set up the messages app to send text messages.  It's telling me that the email address that Im entering can't be verified because it's already in use.  Well, it's the only one I have, am I able to use the same one that I've been using all along?

    It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

  • How do I switch from external datasource to LS datasource and keep the same data entities? Need to edit design.

    Hi all,
    I have a LightSwitch desk top application that I wrote back in 2011 right after LightSwitch was available using VS2010 and the necessary extensions.  I am now in the process of trying to upgrade that application using Visual Studio 2013 Version 12.0.30501.00
    Update 2.  The first thing that I do to make my life easier so that I am not re-inventing the wheel is connect to a copy of the original database.  This makes things a bit easier in that I now don't have to re-create my data entities.  However it
    appears that even though this is a copy I cannot edit the design. Are there any flags or properties that I can flip to make the entities editable?
    I need to change the database design.
    Thanks, -ja

    I think you answered your question here. You can edit any part of the database with your SQL skills once you are familiar with Microsoft SQL Server. AND Lightswitch is a Rapid Application Developer tool specially tailored to people who want a simple
    way to visually create some basic databases. That's why I first asked what you wanted to change in your original Database to focus your question on the tool Yann Duram books says you can use to make further edits if you have access to the server. As Dave says
    you can reverse engineer it all I mean its just text files and folders but its a lot of work as well and you have to reprogram each part of the file structure including the .lsml's which hold the basic Entity framework it looks like an XML indented format
    like the following. I only mess with it when I know what to add were because it is a native code to lightswitch.

  • The Dolphin Browser is compatible with the Toshiba Thrive (I can see video). Why can't Firefox provide the same?

    The Toshiba Thrive is not listed on your site as a compatible device. I have installed Firefox on my Thrive. I love the inteface. But, the lack of a flash plugin is a deal breaker. If Dolphïn and Opera and Maxthon can provide it, why can't FF?

    Flash on Android is not the same as Flash on Windows or OS X. Adobe and Google have both radically changed how browsers and plugins interact. Without documentation about these changes the Firefox developers need to try and make educated guesses about what Adobe and Google designed. This is a slow and hard process.
    Most browser are only a skin over the Android stock browser. Thus they get Flash support for free. Getting Flash working on a non-stock browser is a lot more work. Firefox 10 will provide very limited support for Flash in 2.2 and 2.3 devices.
    Work is ongoing on getting Flash working on Honeycomb devices.

  • Why can't I get the same photos and videos I have taken and edited in photos or I photos when I see them in my laptop the photos are unedited in laptop I can see edited photos on in my iPhone not in laptop

    Why can't I can see edited photos and videos. On my laptop why only the original version of the photos are maintained

    Have you copied those pictures from the iPhone to the computer? 
    If PhotoStream is enabled on the iPhone and computer, they will sync between all devices with PhotoStream enabled.  And if that is the case, are you editing the photos in PhotoStream or in Camera Roll?

  • Why can't I change the Created Date on a file using Terminal?

    I bought a used Contour helmet camera to take pictures of the kids while they're skiing, and I cannot access the camera itself to change the clock in it (USB port is broken).
    I get videos from it just fine, but every time I remove the battery the date/time on the camera resets to January 2008, so my skiing videos end up someplace completely different from what I expect in iMovie.
    I thought I could change the Created Date with Touch in Terminal, but it only handles the Modified Date.  I know I can purchase File Date Changer 5 from the App Store to do this, but I'd like to know why I can't do it in Terminal.
    Anybody know?  Or know of a different way that I COULD do it in Terminal?

    Don't know about Terminal, but, because you are using 10.9.x and iMovie, try the iMovie method:

    When I turned in my iTunes account b/c fraud activity had been detected while my iPhone was not working so they disenabled my iTunes account but I got my new apple id back to download free games but I can't use my debit card anymore and want to use the same card as that is the only access I have as a form of payment

    You can give feed back to Apple from the iTunes drop-down menu in the iTunes menu bar..
