Trying to Activate/Switch Device

I switched back to my iPhone 4 just to try out iOS 7 and it isn't that great and i want to switch back but instead i get this
Your Device Change request failed and cannot be completed online. Please contact Customer Service at 1.800.922.0204
Whats going on why has it failed

I imagine the only one's who can tell you that, would be customer service. Not sure what phone you're switching back to, or from, but some (mainly 4G/LTE ones) may require a new SIM or something along those lines. I'd give them a call, as that seems the only way you'll get to the bottom of it.

Trying to activate new device but get a message saying page is unavailable

I have tried a dozen times to navigate to the page to activate my new phone but keep getting an error message saying the page either doesn't exist or is unavialable. please help.

You can also activate the device by calling *228 from the new device (turn OFF the currently active phone) and choosing option 1. If that doesn't work, your only other option is to call Customer service from a different line than the one you need to activate the new phone on . . .

No network connection after switching devices? Please Help!

So yesterday I switched my Droid Eris to a used but in good condition Droid X on-line (using the activate/switch device). I can make calls and text on my "new" phone, but I can't access the Market to download apps or go on the web browser. It says that I have no Network connection. I went ahead and turned on my "old" phone (Eris) and even though I cannot make calls or texts, I can STILL access Facebook, Market etc....
What is the problem?

Yes, I'm sorry I didn't mention. I programmed the phone by calling *228 and selecting option 1. After no luck with internet access on my "new" phone I went ahead and turned both off overnight. Still no luck.
Any other suggestions.
The other phone should not function so there is something screwed up with the switch over. Call *611 and have customer service look into the problem. 800-922-0204 is the land line number for Verizon.
My guess is the data plan has to be switched over to the replacement device in order to use the net and Google Play Store.

Activate or switch device online not working

Im trying to switch to a second device and the Activate or Switch Device feature of My Verizon is not and has not been working for the past two weeks. It gets to the second screen that list options for backing up data and contacts. After that the next window does not load.
I have used three different computers, different networks, Firefox, IE7-9, and Chrome. Also cleared cache and cookies. Please help, thanks.

Have you tried shutting off the active device first?????
Also have you tried shutting off the active device and calling *228 option 1 from the device you want to activate???
Is the 2nd device VZW branded and is the ESN clear?
Sure have. Both devices are Verizon branded with clean ESN numbers. *228 option 1 on the seconed unactivated device gives me "were sorry this device cannot be activated at this time." This is the last screen i see before i hit next. Next screen is blank and isnt even loading.

Says I've reached the maximum of free accounts for my device. It's a used iPhone 4s. Trying to activate find my iPhone. Please help!?

We bought our son a used iPhone 4s almost 2 years ago. It was recently lost, but we were lucky enough to get it back. As a precaution in case it's lost or stolen again I'm trying to activate find my iPhone, but it tells me I have to have iCloud. But iCloud keeps telling me I have reached the maximum number of free accounts for this device. We have never had an iCloud account, so I'm assuming it was from the original owner. I have no way of contacting this person anymore because their eBay account is no longer active. The phone was factory reset when we bought it, and we reset it again today trying to see if that would fix it, but he lost all his stuff for nothing. We also updated the software. Is there anything we can do about this? Or at least maybe a different app that can track a phone that doesn't require iCloud? I don't know anything about Apple devices. Thanks so much!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.

When trying to activate iCloud on iPhone and iPad I get "account not verified... check your email." Can't verify account on wither device

when trying to activate iCloud on iPhone and iPad I get "account not verified... check your email." Can't verify account on either device.
Can't verify device on website either.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

I own a copy of CS5.5 that I have on my PC. I have switched to a new iMac and during activation it says my serial number is not for the product I'm trying to activate

Jb4short you can verify your registered serial number under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details on how to locate your serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you have a volume license serial number then you need to download the volume license installation files from https://licensing.adobe.com/.

Activate or switch device issue

I purchased an Iphone 5 with my upgrade with the intent to turn around and sell it on ebay (same thing I did with my iphone 4 upgrade last time). I received the phone, brought it to the verizon store to have it activated and then get switched back to my Droid...all went well and I even called verizon later to confirm the iphone 5 had been activated on my account. Now my problem is if I go to "activate or switch device" I am still getting a "verify your new device" page with the iphone 5. Shouldn't this have gone away once my iphone 5 had been activated on my account?
With my previous upgrades, once I activated/deactivated the new phone and reactivated my old phone I was free to activate any phone I wished on that number. There are no issues with "activate or switch device" on the other 2 lines on my account, just the line I used to get the upgrade.
Any ideas?

Call customer service from a line NOT involved in the switch you want to do - 800-922-0204. Sometimes I've been able to switch devices on my own, but the last few times it's been glitchy, and I've had to call CS. To Verizon's credit, the CS reps have been very helpful and have managed to get the correct device(s) activated in relatively short order.
From the main menu, choose Option 4 (Other) and then say AGENT at the prompt - you should be connected to a live person pretty quickly.

Activate/switch/add device fees

I just joined a family plan with 2 other family members, and was wondering if anybody knows how much the fees are to activate, switch, or add a new phone to this existing plan? If it matters the plan is 1400 minutes with unlimited messaging. Thanks to anyone who can help.

If you add a line it's $35 for activation of that line.
There is no fee for changing devices.
