Upgrade phone for someone else

I'm looking to purchase a smartphone for someone for Christmas. She is eligible for a "new every two" phone, but we are not on the same plan. My question is, would I have to pay the full retail price for this phone if she is going to renew and upgrade her plan when she activates it? Or, can I somehow still purchase it at the "2 yr contract" discounted price?

Exactly what my kids did for me for Mother's Day when they got me my new (now ready for upgrade) phone. Somehow they had it all activated and paid for and all I did was sign the paperwork (as I'm the account owner) and walk out of the store with my new phone.
A gift certificate would work just as well - some people do prefer to handle the details on their account on their own...

I traded my iphone in and now have a new one (iPhone 5) with the same SIM. Since, I have had some iMessages meant for someone else and some strange things happening on my phone (applications opening by themselves, calls disappearing from log). Any ideas?

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

Phone calls and voicemails meant for someone else.

Ever since I signed up for skype phone number I've been getting phone calls and voicemails meant for someone else. At first I thought that person probably use to have my current phone number but when I called back the most frequent caller, she said she's been dialing a number that doesn't match mine. So why am I getting her calls on my Skype number. And it's not just from her, I get calls from a lot of people trying to call someone else. It's so annoying. I don't even keep my Skype logged in on my mobile and I am missing calls meant for me and those calls was the whole point of having skype in the first place.

you can contact the customer support and request to unlink your email address from that unknown account:

Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

I have 14 Apps that have updates available. I was able to update a few using my Apple ID. However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results. This is fairly new problem. I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone. But not anymore. I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
Thanks

Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

Ice1968, I think you're the first person I have seen here take the ownership of not having a protection plan and the consequences. Most people just blame VZW. I am sorry to hear that they won't let you get a device by visiting a corporate store. In most cases, telephone support doesn't even offer an upgrade early but in your case they did. I wish I could tell you why the store and telephone support operate differently but I can't. From my experience telephone support has a little more leeway to bend the rules a little bit. From our customer perspective it doesn't make sense and I have no earthly idea of how it could make good business sense. I do know for a fact that store employees do not have the ability to override the system to allow you upgrade early. Again, one would think that it's all the same system so if they can do it over the phone why not in store? I don't know. My one question is, are you sure that the phone employee was offering a 2 year contract and not an Edge agreement? They are 2 completely different options and the chance is that the phone employee was maybe not giving you all of the information. I would call them back and ask them which option was being offered to be clear. I understand that you don't want to wait for shipping as I wouldn't but unfortunately when telephone support offers something that's the only way to acquire the new device.

A ssuggested above...
On iPhone:

Getting calls for someone else

We are getting calls for someone else who had our phone number before. Since verizon uses recycled numbers they want to charge us $22.00 to change our number for another recycled number. We should not have to pay for this since the problem on their end. On the white pages.com also has their name under our number. I feel they should change it at no charge since its not out problem plus it can happen next number they give us. So we are soppose keep verizon $22.00 until it stops. I called Verizon twice about this issue and nothing was solved. when I asked them to speak to the supervisor they told me NO!

TV shows will only appear in the cloud if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded from the store (you can't add them yourself), in which case they will appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading. But they will only appear there if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded, and then only as long as the TV company leaves them in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items).

Has anyone tried getting a new phone and then giving your old phone to someone else? because if you have, did you deactivate your iphone on your support profile before so? and will the person who gets it be able to activate it as thiers again afterwards?

Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

HT1904 if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

That is an interesting question. If you are at the "age of majority", then why would you allow someone else to put restrictions on your device.. If it is a condition of your employer to use the device on their network services, then you allow it to use the device for their system. If you are under the age of majority, and your parents are requiring it, sounds like the parents care.
