Transferring number to O2 in the UK

If you read the info provided by O2 it suggests that existing O2 customers will get a temporary number to use until their existing number is transferred. It says it may take 5 days. However, for new customers it just says it may take 5 days - it gives new customers no reassurance that they can use the iPhone straight away.
I'm with Vodafone at the moment (out of contract fortunately), but I really don't want to wait 5 days before I can use the iPhone - it's bad enough having to wait until November 9th!
This is what is on the O2 site:
New Customers
If you're an O2 customer billed by Carphone Warehouse, or you have a mobile phone with another network, you'll need to contact them to obtain a "PAC code" in order to transfer your number to your iPhone.
This process may take up to five working days to complete.
Please be aware that PAC codes are only valid for 30 days.
Existing Customers
If you're an existing O2 customer and you receive your bills directly from O2, or you're an O2 Pay & Go customer, during the activation process you'll be asked whether you'd like to transfer your existing O2 mobile number to your iPhone.
This process can take up to 5 working days to complete, but don't worry - we'll provide you with a temporary number so you can start enjoying your iPhone straight away.

I'd heard the same thing a year or 2 ago about being able to transfer a number from contract to PAYG and not the other way around. Having looked into it further, I've found that O2 do a pay monthly plan called Simplicity which doesn't require a contract (requires 30 days notice) and is sim only (no new phone). I signed up to that, and received an O2 sim card today. I was proud to be one of the first to tell Vodafone I wanted my PAC code because I'm getting an iPhone! I'm transferring my number to that O2 simplicity plan asap. I suspect that despite the wording on the O2 site, new customers will be able to use the iPhone with a new number until theirs is transferred too. The Simplicity plan was cheaper than what I'm currently paying Vodafone anyway - so I'm happy to move over to O2 sooner rather than later. The other advantage of getting an O2 sim before signing up to the iPhone was that I can check local coverage. It seems better here than Vodafone (although I did get a weak 3G signal with Vodafone, but none with O2).

I have just transferred my entire application file from an Imac to an identical Imac, both running OS 10.9.5. Everything works fine, excepting that when I attempt to open Photoshop 6, I am prompted for the serial number. I enter the serial number provided by Adobe, which I have confirmed with my "previous purchase" records kept by Adobe. It is demanding a "qualifying product", all of which is contained in the complete files I transferred. Why can't Adobe recognise my valid serial number for Photoshop 6?

Please use the proper installer.
Are you really talking about Photoshop 6 or about Photoshop CS6?

ive tried to change it in message settings but the number is grey so im unable to de-select it ?
any ideas?

Hello joinerdan,
It sounds like you are unable to change the phone number that Messages is sending messages from because it is grayed out. I recommend the steps outlined in the following article named:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Had my old number transferred, facetime/imessage show my transferred number but in settings/phone/mynumber it is still showing as the temporary number

I've had my old O2 number transferred to my new iphone 4s on 3. my facetime and imessage show my transferred number but in the phone settings its still showing as the number that came with the phone.
When i message someone it seems to be showing as either one or the other if its a text conversation its converting from one to the other then back again. Also on imessage its reverted to using my email address.
Does anyone know how to make it so that everything is showing the correct number. i have turned both facetime/imessage off, turned my phone off and on again turned facetime/imessage back on again which sorted the numbers showing on them. But in phone settings thats not done the trick.
Please Help!!!

When you go to Settings>Phone, what shows as your phone number? Is the temporary number you describe there or your regular phone number? You should be able to set it there. I don't know if there is a new place for setting anything associated with iMessage. I cannot find any reference in the iOS 5 manual regarding changing settings.

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?
Regards,
Sandeep Kulkarni

Can anyone give a good contact number for someone in the upper level of customer service

can anyone give a good contact number for someone in the upper level of customer care i have talked to two of the worst people from customer service, the "supervisor" who was very appropriate did give me a address to mail a complaint which i will but being a disabled veteran of the Iraq war and a member of the wounded warrior project i get upset at certain people who show no respect for the average person and even worse of an attitude to those injured serving their country. I'm in no way saying I'm better its just that i expect a grain of respect as a person, a fellow American working everyday just to get by. my issue was not an impossible issue to resolve but i was told by one rep that it was not possible after my call being "dropped" i called back and talked to another. Luke from call center Washington state told me it was possible but that the phone i ordered two days prior (that rep failed to finish the order)was no longer available and i could pick a different phone not on back order.......i mentioned my confusion to the lack of service and being told two separate things. i asked why this was when i was not the one who made the mistake he told me it was not there fault and pushed the blame to me....he then called me dude and started to speak over me. when i asked to speak to a supervisor he asked why i told him i was no longer interested in talking to him he said why, i asked to be transferred again he kept refusing saying listen man I'm trying to help you what do you want. i asked to speak to his supervisor at least three more times he refused. i asked for his employee information so i could call back to report his rude behavior he refused to give me anything except at the end he finally told me his name.. there is more but my hand is tired is there anyone who can help me? if i find an answer as i will be posting this to many sites i will post it here.

Activation- transferring number from Verizon to AT&T

Hello, I am trying to activate my iPhone and I need to port my old number from Verizon to AT&T. I'm out of my Verizon contract (as of 20 minutes ago) and was told by both companies all I would need to do is enter in the info to transfer the number in iTunes. I enter in the cell number, account number, zip code, and account password and am greeted with a screen that says:
"The phone number you entered cannot be transferred. You must uncheck the transfer number option and clear the information in the text fields to continue."
What gives? Any suggestions or do I just have to wait until tomorrow when AT&T or Apple support is actually open and doesn't just give me automated menus to tell me I meet the software requirements.

Alright ... well, you may have lost your former number. You should have simply submitted your information to activate your iPhone and that act alone would have closed your Verizon account and transferred your number. So if you somehow believed you had to close your Verizon account before activating your iPhone then, in essence, you gave your phone number back to Verizon to release to a new Verizon customer.
Which is probably why your getting the message that there is no number to transfer. My advice: Accept your fate, re-activate and take a new number.
I say this because I transferred over from T-Mobile. In fact, I bought six iPhones all together (one for each of my employees) and they had accounts with different service providers (Sprint, Verizon, Metro, etc.). Two employees did as you did and we lost the numbers.
For those we didn't lose - the only trouble we ran into was failing to insert the the account information exactly as it appeared on our billing statements. If it was all in caps and we went back and put re-input all in caps then the activation and number transferred. If we let off our suite number or if it was shown as # or STE then when we provided that just as it appeared on the statement, the transfer went through.
I hope this helps.

Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number. Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions? Many thanks.

Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number. Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions? Many thanks.

Yes it should work transferring PSE10 from Mac to Mac. There is a download link below for PSE10, which your friend could use. There is a formal licence transfer process but it’s not necessary for your friend to register the product (activation is sufficient) although he couldn’t benefit from future upgrade pricing without registration. Serial numbers typically can only be registered one time.
Boxed versions of PSE are normally multi-platform with disks for both Windows and Mac; so the serial number is the same. Downloads have tended to be single platform only although I believe the current version PSE12 will work on both Windows and Mac with the same serial number – boxed or download.

That's because apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account. You can contact iTunes support, explain the situation, and request they add these apps to the download queue of your new account:

When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.

Elite plus account online says my phone number is not in the system...

Hello,
I have been a member for many years, and have pretty much always used the same phone number when accessing the myrewardzone.com and at the store to apply the purchase. However recently, when accessing the mybestbuy website, there is a notice to enter my phone number for verification to check points. When doing so, it says that number is not in the system. I just went a best buy store yesterday and purchased a TV using that number and it went through fine.
Is there anyone who can help with this?
Thank you!

Good morning jedimario,
I hope you are having a good start to your weekend.
I am the who, and from what I can see, you have quite a bit of unnecessary information on file (phone #s, mailing addresses, and email addresses). I would strongly suggest that we update your information and get it down to three primary pieces. Please send me a private message with the below information, by clicking on the blue button in my signature, and I will make sure everything is up-to-date.
As far as your points, you should receive a 25% bonus for having Elite Plus status. I looked over your points history and show that you have in-fact been receiving the bonus points. You may not see those bonus points pending for recent purchases because it is fairly common for bonus points not to appear as pending, but they should post to your account within 20 days of the original purchase date.

Do you have any ideas for how to write code to test whether the reference number is NOT in the database.

Hallo,
in general, yes, but I think , it will be better without cursor:
declare
v_dummy number;
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'select 1 from dual where
exists (select 1 from user_indexes where index_name = : ind_name) USING ''DOUGLASMYINDEX'
INTO v_1;
-- something
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
NULL;
END;
Is it necessary to perform it in dynamic SQL ?
declare
v_dummy number;
BEGIN
select 1 into v_1 from dual where
exists (select 1 from user_indexes where index_name = ''DOUGLASMYINDEX''')
INTO v_1;
-- something
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
NULL;
END;

IDOC number is not in the list

Hi,
I am creating an inbound delivery using IDOC. The message type is DESADV and basic type is DELVRY01. After I have populated the control and data tables, I processed them using IDOC_WRITE_AND_START_INBOUND. I have generated the IDOC number after executing the program. The problem is, when I go to WE02, the idoc number is not the list. I am not sure if the IDOC I generated is successful or not. Does it have something to do with the FM that I used. I set a custom process code that will call the FM IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Lalyn

Hi Arun,
Thanks for the reply. But the IDOC number is not in the list and I can't access it WE19. Do you have any other Function module that I can use to process the IDOC in ABAP? The Function module should be the one to call the FM IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1 to create an inbound delivery. That's what I think causes the error. Thanks.
Lalyn
