Trying to upgrade phone. $60/month for 2GB?

I've been trying to upgrade my phone as I'm eligible for a new device. I currently have the Digital Choice 100 for $24.99 and Unlimited Data for $29.99. While attempting to do so online, I'm given a notice that my plan is not compatible and that unlimited data is also not available. While I understand I'm grandfathered with the unlimited data, and I'll lose it if I upgrade, Verizon’s website shows a $40/month charge for a device and then asks me to select a data plan. Verizon’s website shows the 2GB data plan is $60.00 month. Without factoring taxes, that is $100/month. It shows my current bill at $57.98
I talked to a few Verizon representatives. Some insisting the above is correct. One stated it's a website glitch for it to not allow me to have the 2GB data plan at $30.00 month. I cannot understand how my monthly bill will nearly double. I’d have to downgrade to the 2GB Data plan at an increased rate of $60/month while I get unlimited voice – which I don’t care about – for nearly double what I currently pay per month.
When I checked with AT&T's site for comparison, it shows I could get 450 voice minutes for $39.99 and 3GB of data for $30.00. When I informed the Verizon agent about this to try and understand why Verizon is trying to bill me 2X for less data than AT&T, the Verizon agent was assertive that Verizon doesn't price match and that Verizon has the best network and the best phones. I reminded the Verizon agent that Verizon didn't get the HTC One X, arguably one of the best phones, and Verizon has yet to get the HTC One.
I've attached a screen capture of what I see when trying to upgrade.
Is this correct? For one device on my plan? 2GB is $60/month?

Basically I'm in the same boat as you, and a verizon rep in chat told me that I could select a share everything plan to order the phone upgrade, and then when I activate it I could call verizon and have them put me back on the old plan (nationwide) where each smartphone has their own data plan. I'm not sure I fully trust that advice so if you manage to do this please come back and post and let us know.

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price.

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price, but it doesn't gives me the option of 20G for $0.99 a month.
How can I get 20g for $0.99 a month?
Thanks!

Katherine,
have you read the message in the panel? Something is wrong with your credit card. Perhaps you have to enter a new date of expiration.
In the small print it says, there is still a purchase, that needs paying,"Ugly Heart" with an amount of R 9.99. And "We were unable to authorise your credit card for this purchase". You will first have to update your Billing Information before you can proceed to make a new purchase for upgraded storage. Click "Account Details" in the iCloud panel.
-- Léonie
If you cannot fix the account from the iCloud panel, open iTunes and sign into the "Store" menu, Then use the "Store > View account" item there to check for problems with your Billing Information.

I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.

Trying to upgrade OS X Mavericks for months now.

It seems like I've been trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks for months now. I keep getting this message -The file couldn’t be saved because you don’t have permission.(513). Why? And what can I do to fix this so that I can upgrade?

In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button.

Error when downloading OS Yosimite.Have spent four days trying to upgrade to Yosimite.

Have been trying to upgrade to OS Yosimite for the last four days.Keep getting "error in downloading" every hour or so.I have managed to download 1.75 GB of the 5 GB,at this rate it will take me a long time to install this new improved OS. Any suggestions?

Nevermind, I solved it! I had to download carrier specific software from the Blackberry website first (link below), and THEN go to the Device Manager and finish the process there!

Jeez, so complicated! But so relieved to finally have OS 6!

I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
but this email is authorized, what to do??
respectfully, Beba

OR have you recently purchased the iPhone secondhand ?

Well I spoke too soon.
The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
+"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
+"Cannot Get Mail+
+THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.

My phone will not turn off, has not done so for ages, Today I tried to upgrade which failed . Now my screen shows only the itunes symbol and a usb lead. When I connect to itunes it informs me the sim card is not supported though it works on other phones. HELP

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

Early upgrade (one month) for wacky problematic phone, DENIED

Hello,
I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for SEVENTEEN years.
I purchased the Droid under a different line last February (2010)
around October the on/off button stopped working...
I was keeping it charged for weeks...and sliding it over for it to go on...
but it finally died and there was no way to turn it back on...
Verizon Wireless was nice enough to send me a REfurbished Droid.
This is a DUMB smartphone....if I get a text during a call, it disconnects the call.
A simple phone can handle this, mine can NOT.
I called Verizon in April and they said they'd early upgrade me,
but at that time I didn't know what phone I wanted, whether it be a smartphone or simple, maybe less problematic phone.
Well after dealing with my dumb phone and resisiting from throwing it into a wall from frustration (it has other problems too)
I called Verizon Wireless again .
They went through a 30 minute "typed script and troubleshooting"
then I was told the phone is problematic. well duh...I've been way patient while paying over $200 a month for this fantastic service for WAY too many years!
I was then given an order number, but told it needed to be approved by a manager.
48 hours later I was DENIED.
I feel like an a$$ being a loyal customer.
I was upping my contract 2 years, etc.
and they told me no...... denied. order cancelled.
I am feeling like being loyal is unappreciated.
I didn't think 30 days really mattered for an early upgrade.
I have no luck with Verizon phones either.
last phone I really liked that had no problems was a great light blue and grey phone, no flip,
that I had to give up when they went digital.
Had to be over a decade ago.
Man I miss that WORKING phone...only phone that EVER worked reliably.
thanks for the vent
shopping other networks,
feel like loyal customers do not matter to this company.

Man that would **bleep** me off too... I worked @ Verizon Wireless in their call center for about 3 years & that is not an uncommon issue.
I wish I could give you a solid answer instead of suggestions, but here's how I've seen people get their "early upgrade" approved...
First of all, you've been w/VZW for 17 years?!? With the same account?! I have NEVER seen a supervisor deny a month early upgrade for someone who's had service for 17 years.
- Call back & ask for a supervisor immediatly. Tell the supervisor what's going on & If you are still not happy with the results, escalate it to the supervisors manager.
- If you still have no luck, tell them you want to disconnect. They will actually say "okay let me get you over to a rep. that can close the account" & that person has special deals they can offer you & if it is really only a month or 2 early, they will totally push it though for you.
Good luck!

Need to Upgrade phones for work No Upgrade for 15 months

Is it possible to add two lines to my family plan, get the promotional phones and then activate the promotional phones on the main line and second line? How long would i Have to keep those two new lines activated?
Any other suggestions?

Yes, once you have activated the phones on the lines you purchased them on, you can switch them to another line. How long would i Have to keep those two new lines activated? You could keep the two lines activated for just a few minutes, but if you don't maintain the lines for the duration of your 2 year contract, you will owe an Early Termination Fee on each line. It will be $175 if you buy a basic phone, or $350 for smartphones.
Any other suggestions? Pay full price, wait for your upgrade to be available on your existing lines, or buy a used phone on eBay.
