Upgrade/ contract question

Hi, i am on a family share plan with 5 people. I am neither of the 2 primary cell phones. I would like to move from verizon to at & t because of the iphone. My question is i am eligible for an upgrade in february but my contract is over in june. So when can i switch to at & t without being charged for an early termination fee. I have a blackberry and understand the early termination fee is $350 minus $10 for every month completed. If i have to wait until june then i will pay the termination fee. But i also have an LG Dare (which is a feature phone) so can i switch from my blackberry to the dare because the termination fee for feature phones is $175 minus $5 for every month completed. And once my dare is reactivated, can i cancel my plan and be billed for the feature phone early termination fee?

ok just to make sure, if i end my contract right now, currently using a blackberry, i will be paying the ETF for a feature phone because that was the phone i bought at the beginning of my contract?
You are exactly right. It will be based on the Dare.

End of contract questions (Data plan and upgrade eligibility)

Hi All,
I found another thread also titled "End of contract questions" and it was very helpful but I want to make sure I'm not mistaken in any way. Here's my scenario:
2 Line Plan
ME (primary): 2-year contract, unlimited Data (10/15/10 - 10/15/12)
WIFE: 1-year contract, unlimited data (10/15/10 - 10/15/11)
I signed her up for a 1-year contract on the advice of the Verizon rep that was helping us. It ended up netting an additional cost of $70-100 (I forget exactly) but it was worth it in my opinion because I knew that one of us would be able to get a new phone in 1 year as opposed to 2.
So here are the specific questions:
1. Verizon has done away with 1-year contracts. This means that whenever my wife goes in to renew her contract (and get a new device), she will need to sign a 2 year contract, correct? All further questions will be posed based on a "yes" answer to this one.
2. Assuming she has to sign a 2-year contract, will she still be able to retain her unlimited data plan?
3. Assuming she signs up for a 2-year contract, will she still be able to get "loyalty" pricing or whatever they're calling it now (used to be "new every 2")? Is she even eligible for anything since she's not the primary on the line?
4. In the other thread titled "End of contract questions..." it was mentioned that "The loyalty discount expires 6 months after it becomes available -- so 2 months after your contract ends". Is this correct?
5. Currently, if I go to MyVerizon and hover over the "?" next to my number and "Eligible for a discount" it says: "You are eligible to upgrade with discounted pricing. If you upgrade on or after 6/15/12 you are eligible to receive an additional loyalty discount. " I intend to wait for my line as it still has a year on the contract however when I do the same for my wife's line it says: You are eligible to upgrade with discounted pricing." Does it not mention the Loyalty discount because it's not applicable to a secondary line? Or perhaps because it's implied since she's technically out of her contract period?
I'm trying to make heads or tails of this. At the time, it sounded like a great idea (her on a 1-year, me/primary on a 2-year). I'm hoping it will work out for us so that every year, one of us will be eligible for a new line. I'm only concerned with the unlimited data aspect being that she's going to be going from a 1-year to a 2-year and also the actual loyalty/discount aspect.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps!!

BT Broadband contract question! (Upgrade the accou...

Hi all!
Not getting anywhere with BT support/sales online..they just totally ignored my question.
If I move to BT Broadband ADSL2+ account (From another ISP), but FTTC Infinity gets upgraded at my exchange
several months later (mid contract).. can I upgrade to this ok? In theory its an upgrade, so
I hope I don't have to pay off the contract before upgrading?
I am tempted to switch now from Plusnet, ready for BT Sport and have access to BT Fon wifi out
and about as only get 500MB data on my phone.
Many thanks for any help!
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That makes perfect sense! Thanks for that!
I didnt want to pay off a contract or wait until it ends, yet FTTC is sitting there lol!
Apparently FTTC install is starting next month, but could take a few months to complete if started then and i'd
like to switch to at least BT ADSL2+ for now to get BTFon + pre register for BT Sports for free!
I've clicked the star for you.. cheers

End of contract questions (Unlimited data+4G)

I currently have 2 lines in my account. The main line is mine and the contract is up on 11/.07, while the secondary line is 12/04. I have been waiting for the new gen 4G and Galaxy Nexus to be announced before making a decision on what to upgrade my phone to.
Here are the questions I have:
I have the unlimited data plan now. If I extend my contract with a 3G or a 4G phone that is currently on sale today then switch to Galaxy Nexus later in November, will I keep the unlimited data plan still?
If I do not renew the contract, do I loose the loyalty discount + the unlimited data plan?
Does switching from a 3G device to 4G device effect the data plan status at all (unlimted to 5g capped?)
Thanks for the replies.

If I extend my contract with a 3G or a 4G phone that is currently on sale today then switch to Galaxy Nexus later in November, will I keep the unlimited data plan still? As of right now, Verizon's policy is to allow you to keep the unlimited data feature as long as you keep a 3G or 4G smartphone active on your line. It is possible that might change by November, but highly unlikely. In any case, you would know if you could not keep the plan because Verizon would announce that they are ending the grandfathering and/or releasing phones that aren't compatible with the feature. In general, I would expect to be able to keep your unlimited data pretty easily until Verizon finishes implementing the majority of its 4G network in 2013, but that's just my guess.
If I do not renew the contract, do I loose the loyalty discount + the unlimited data plan? You won't lose your unlimited data. Your plan will stay the same until you do something to change it, but you'll be on month-to-month status. The loyalty discount expires 6 months after it becomes available (so two months after your contract ends).
Does switching from a 3G device to 4G device effect the data plan status at all (unlimted to 5g capped?) As far as I'm aware, unlimited is still unlimited. The only change is that Verizon reserves the right to throttle the top 5% of users in congested markets during peak hours. It doesn't neccesarily kick in at 5GB, and it won't affect you at all if you don't use a congested tower.
Thanks for the replies.

Contract questions: Is this possible?

I've been on my aunts plan for almost 10 years. Now that I've finished school and got a teaching job, I'd like to finally come off of her plan when I start working this fall. I essentially have two and a half questions.
1. Is it possible to take my number off of my aunt's plan and start a new contract using that number? If this is possible, will I have the option of a new phone since I want to start a new contract?
2. Will I be able to keep everything I have on my aunt's contract the same on the new contract if the new contract is even an option?
Oh, another thing? What happened to all the plan options? There used to be options for 450 individual plans and then adding on messaging and data as you needed. The options I saw when I looked at the service plans seem like crap because they don't offer much flexibility.

1) You could take your number and assume liability of it, which will transfer it into an account with your name/social, on a currently-offered plan of your choice, and retain whatever contract (or lack thereof) you currently have. If you're standard upgrade eligible now, you'll still be standard upgrade eligible after the assumption of liability. If not, you'll still have to wait for your upgrade date to get a discounted phone regardless of whether you assume liability or not.
2) You'll have to pick from their currently-offered calling plans.
3) They decided to change their plan offerings for new customers. Existing customers can stay grandfathered on the previous plans or switch, at their preference.

Upgrading Phones Question?

As of now I'm on a family plan with my mom, and I'll be able to upgrade my phone pretty soon. So here's my question; Does it cost anything to upgrade phones. I want to upgrade my Samsung Rouge to a HTC Thunderbolt, but I seen that the Thunderbolt is like $250 with a 2 year contract(which is what we have). I was just wondering if I would have to pay all of that or just some of it or what?

When your upgrade date comes up, you would pay $249 for the TB and have a new year agreement. If you do not already have an unlimited data plan you will need to add that for $29.99/month.

Prepaid u350 smooth convert to contract question

My husband has had a Samsung u350 phone for hte past 16 months until I ran it through the wash last Saturday. He has been without a phone for more than a week. I purchased the exact phone except it is a prepaid phone (still in the packaging). Can it be converted from a prepaid phone to finish out the remainder of our 24 month contract?

Tonisgirl, that is a great question. I understand you need to make sure your husband has a working phone. SuzyQ is correct, a prepaid phone needs to be active on a prepay account for 6 months before it can be activated on a postpay account. If you have another VZW phone you want to activate, you can dial *228 send to activate that one. You can also check your upgrade on each line by dialing #UPG send to see if you may have any eligible lines.

IPhoto '08 to iPhoto '11 Upgrade PROBLEM & Questions

Despite all the negative reviews at the App Store about iPhoto '11, I decided upgrade from iPhoto '08 so I could conveniently upload photos to FaceBook from iPhoto. (The FaceBook Uploader for iPhoto never worked for me.) I thought the ratio of negative reviews were unbalanced because people who are satisfied with the product have less motivation to write a review. Maybe I was wrong.
My problem:
I only bought iPhoto '11, not the iLife package, from the App Store. When I first opened iPhoto '11, I was warned that my library would no longer be readable by earlier iPhoto versions. No problem, I expected that. As I had somewhat over 15,000 photos in my iPhoto '08 Library, I was also notified that that it would take an hour or longer to rewrite the library. No problem, I expected that too. iPhoto first read my old library, then started rewriting. When the rewriting progress bar was just past halfway, iPhoto '11 suddenly quit and sent an "iPhoto Problem Report" to Apple. This has happened about 5 times now, both before and after restarting my computer. It might seem related to free disk space, but I just put in a new 750Gb hard drive with over 400Gb free. All my other specs also meet or exceed iLife's requirements.
My Questions:
1. Can anyone suggest what they think the problem is and how to proceed? I couldn't find a similar problem in the Apple Support Community.
2. If I can't upgrade, how do I go back to iPhoto '08? I backed up everything to an external drive using Time Machine before trying to upgrade. I know there's a iPhoto Library file in Pictures but there's also another file somewhere that contains the data for titles, events, comments and edits. How do I find it and how do I restore them to my MacBook?
3. Can I get my $14.95 back from Apple? I don't see a way to talk to Apple without costing me more than the $14.95
Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

What's happening is that some file (or files) in the Library are damaged in some wy and that's tripping up the upgrade. This file (or files) may not necessarily be photos but could be one of the background database files. Unfortunately there's not any real way of knowing.
Any time you upgrade or update an app or the OS you run the risk of exposing a problem that has bee hidden heretofore. That's why you make back ups.
Possible solution: Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Reverting means restoring your Librry from Time Machine and re-installing 08. It's not a big thing to do.
Contact App Store support about a refund. There's an email link on the right hand side of the app store window.

Transferring a number to a different account and contract question

Hello,
So today I got offered a phone from where I work. I'm in a family plan with 4 phones, i only need one of the lines transferred to my boss's account, but will doing this break the contract that I'm in right now? because I don't want to pay $175 to cancel it.. please help me!! thanks!!!

Thanks to the community for your replies.
That's a good question, cooper06. As Ann154 mentioned, this process is called an Assumption of Liability. If your transferring your line to another party you wouldn't be terminating your agreement. I recommend you visit http://goo.gl/jinrY for more information.

MacBook Pro hard disk upgrade shows question mark folder

I recently bought a 1TB hard disk for my teenaged daughter's MacBook Pro.
I formatted it, used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the existing drive. I even made sure to create the recovery partition.
I restarted while holding the option key and chose the new drive. It booted fine so I checked in System Preferences to make sure it was selected as the boot device.
I opened the case and swapped the drives. Put it back together and restarted only to see the question mark folder!
I tried booting while holding the option key and now I get the choose a network prompt.
I am desperate and hate the thought of disappointing my daughter. It used to be that I was her hero who could fix anything now I'm the guy who asks too many questions and doesn't put enough money on her debit card. Granted she busts her butt getting awesome grades and I was upgrading her drive so she could continue her video yearbook for her school. So I shouldn't complain but it would be great to be her hero again.
BTW, I am not a newbie to the tech world but I don't do nearly as much in the Apple arena as I do in the PC world. Then again I've been a senior tech in the industry sine before IBM had a PC. In fact, my first real work was on a 6502 processor that used the same machine code as the Rage of the day, the Apple ][. All that to say I usually can find my way around a problem but this one has me stumped.
I appreciate any assistance offered.
Thanks,
Thom

I tried to reboot with the option, command P. And R keys pressed. I heard the ding several times it still showed the question mark! I also tried the shift option and it only displayed the network selection. Also I tried to press C so I could boot from USB and it didn't work either.
If I cannot get this to work I fear my only other choice is to use a FireWire enclosure. This isn't a good option as my daughter does mostly movie work and iMovie has this terrible "feature" that forces all movies to be stored in one place. It sure would be handy if it allowed movie projects to set the storage location individually. I suppose I could simply move all the movies to the drive and try to find a way to point all iMovie projects to the external drive.
Unfortunately, my daughter is one of those Mac users who isn't savvy enough to use anything but the default settings. Heck I've tried to explain to her that she ought to get rid of the big files once she has done her work. That's why her drive is always full.

UPGRADE ASSISTANT QUESTIONS for ECC6.0???????911

I have used upgrade assistant in the past for 4.6C and 4.7 upgrades and had no problems. I am having trouble getting the assistant to work through the internet browers. I need help with a couple of questions:
First: Do I need do a prepare and SERVER option like I had in the past with R3UP?
Second: Is there anything special that needs to be done for ports 4239,4240,4241. I can reach my server through the internet of some of the ports that R3 uses.
It seems the java is not recognizing my i5 server and I am not sure where the disconnect is.
This is the error I am receiving when I try to start the upgrade assistant:
ERROR: Unable to load resource: http://sapdev:4239/ua/uagui.jnlp

Usually it's done like
- PREPARE
- exchange SAPup with the newest version
- add your application fix <application>_FIX to /usr/sap/put
- $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp /usr/sap/put/ua/ua.jar UaServer
- give an administrator password
After that the UA should listen on port 4239
You can verify that on the machine via
netstat -tn | grep -i LISTEN | grep 4239
Also check that you have either no proxy or add the box' name to the exception list of the browser (because Java uses that exception list too).

Upgrading OS questions

I need to upgrade my MacBook Pro's OS from 10.5.8 to be able to sync with my iPhone. My questions are:
1) How far up do I need to go? I do have the CD for Snow Leopard, will this be enough to get the most recent update of iTunes? (haven't installed Snow Leopard yet)
2) I'm using Microsoft Office 2008 (Word only) 12.1.0 and have read that it must be updated also. Can I update straight from 12.1.0 to the most recent 2008 update, which appears to be 12.3.6?
I guess those are my main questions. All I really need/want to do is to be able to sync my iPhone again. I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, advice on this. Thanks!

1, 10.6.8
To upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6, you must purchase the Snow Leopard install DVD from Apple.
Backup first.
2, Ask Microsoft, since it is their product

P67A GD55 Rev B - Upgrade Bios Question

To be honest, this post supposed to be a private message to Svet, but turned out a newbie like me who just joining the forum is not allowed to send PM...so apology if this questions are being asked so many times already:
Dear svet,
Really need your help in clarifying something, to make it short here are my questions:
First here are my PC Specifications:
MSI P67A-GD55 rev B
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB XMP Enabled
PSU Corsair X750W
Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k
OS Windows 7 x64
1. I have upgraded my GD55 rev B bios to the latest bios available here: msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
which foolishy I didn't read the warn that it will not work proeperly for Sandy Bridge
2. The bios update/flash was a success, now I have the ver II click bios, completely different with the first version. With this bios I managed to OC to my previous OC speed (4.2GHz in OC Setting by changing it into 42 multiplier and set the Vcore to 1.35)
3. The reason that I updated my bios in the first time was I often experience 0x50 error while gaming certain games, and I thought upgrading bios is one of the solutions for it (after trying to change my RAM, changing my GPU, and my PSU to no avail)
4. Then I stumble to this post of yours: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
with some fix in the 434 version states like this: "05.Fix system reset on 0x55 issue when use Sandy Bridge G440 CPU and install two 4G memory."
I am completely not sure whether this is related to my 0x50 BSOD or not, but really hoping that it is.
So my question is, should I upgrade/downgrade to your first post BIOS? (E7681IMS.434) or should I upgrade/downgrade to the latest beta 439 Bios (E7681IMSv439.rar) as the fix in 434 are included in 439?)
Thank you so much in advance for any help...
Regards,

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 09-April-13, 15:26:46
While waiting for Svet to respond, I will tell you that BSOD 050 is not enough DRAM V. being applied. It's rather a shame you didn't open a thread in the regular part of the forum, or the OC section of the forum asking for assistance 'before' flashing an Ivy support UEFI/BIOS.
That CPU is most likely capable of OC'ing to 42X easily on Auto CPU voltage while maintaining all the power saving features. VDroop set to Low or 100% depending on the available settings.
What is X.M.P. setting the DRAM V. at? If 1.50v's, to solve your BSOD, probably would have just required raising the DRAM V. to about 1.575v's or maybe even less manually. Rather than using X.M.P., the DRAM Frequency setting could have been changed manually to 1600.
Yes, all newer final or Beta versions will have previous release improvements incorporated.
Thank you for the reply...forget to delete the "dear Svet" part as it was copied from once private message intended
To be honest, I see myself rather as a silent reader than an active poster...so I would really try to avoid posting due to English isn't my first language....if that even make sense...
I think I have read quite a lot of 0x50 BSOD (CTD errors to be exact) in other forums to...have tried what people had posted as solutions for them...and still to no avail, hence my foolish and rushed attempt in flashing the bios...please do mind that the current bios is quite stable in my opinion, despite the same BSOD (CTD) in the certain game I have mentioned in my first post...
I have followed OC guide and benchmark in other forum which show each of its poster their OC settings and result (specifically i5 2500k series), and I have tried around 1 week to safely say that my unfortunate chip can only handly a stable 24/7 4.2GHz in that volt...i'm so lucky
and for XMP volt, I have no idea to be honest, I just enable it in the bios, will really look at it later on...
tl'dr thank you so much for the new insight of how to solve the 0x50! really appreciate it....If i can remember correctly, I have tried to use the default DRAM setting (without using XMP enabled) and still got the 0x50 CTD....but trying your suggestion is still a worth a try...will try this when I get home...thank you!

Photoshop CS6 upgrade - installation question

So, 2 months ago I got a new notebook. I installed CS4 and made sure I got everything working perfectly. Then, this month I installed the CS6 trial and boy it has a crapload of permission-related temp file directory blunders. To narrow it down to just CS6, I uninstalled and reinstalled all Adobe related software on my machine except for CS4. After 10-12 hours of configuration trial and error with the temp-file blunder, I have CS6 working perfectly as well. So now I have a trial version of CS6 with a leftover CS4 key on the computer.
Now for my question: Will the trial accept a CS6 upgrade key or will I have to reinstall using the CS6 upgrade disc? I'd really prefer not to uninstall CS6 again.

Yes, you can just input your serial number in the trial version.

A few contract questions

If I am 20 months into my contract (eligible to upgrade), then extend it for another 2 years, would that mean I have 28 total months left, since there are still 4 months left now?
Or does it just end your current contract and start completely over at 24 months?
Also, if I cancel my contract and pay the ETF, then sign back up with Verizon (to avoid having to pay the full retail for the iPhone), will I lose my phone number? If so, is there any way to prevent this?

It completely resets it to 24 months. There is a waiting period after cancelling your account before you can reopen another. I believe it is six months, and I also believe it is attached to your name, not your phone number that you use on the account. Also, it seems kind of silly to pay the ETF ( I guess it would depend on what phone you have ) only to pay the same amount of money to purchase an iPhone and open a new account.
