Upgrade phone to texting costs $45?

So I have 3 dumbphones and 1 with texting. I decided that I was going to add texting to another phone. I've done this before and 250 messages costs $5 more a month. Instead of this, if I want texting added to other lines, Verizon looks to be forcing me to a very expensive sharing plan. I currently pay around $75 for my 3 phones and service with a company discount. The website here shows me just to add texting, because they are forcing me to the sharing plan, my costs will go up to $130!
I'm not even going to give them a chance anymore. My company also has the same discount with 2 other providers. After all these years with Verizon, I can't believe they don't want to retain customers.

  On my plan, unlimited texting for all phones is $30 / Month. If this is what they are giving you, and you are in the middle of the billing cycle, then I could see it being a $45 charge, as you pay for the month in advance.
  If you are saying that your bill would go up $45 based on those figures, it would be $55.

  • 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.

  • How can I save my photos from my camera roll, my photo stream on the icloud so that I don't lose my photos if I upgrade phone or just because I need space and I don't want to delete or lose pictures.

    Can I save my camera roll pics, my photo stream pics from my iphone 5 into icloud so I don't lose pics if I upgrade phone or because I need space

    No.
    iCloud isn't a file storage service.
    You can backup your camera roll but you can only restore the entire roll to the device.

  • PC Suite Upgrade : Phone (N70) not supported

    Hi
    Just upgraded to latest version of PC Suite and have hit problems. Prior to upgrade phone and PC were connecting fine with no problems.
    Now when establishing connection between phone and PC receive following message :'PC Suite does not support the connected phone. PC Suite settings file is missing from the the phone. Switch off your phone, switch it on, and try again.' The phone then appears to connect but none of the PC Suite offers are available, presumably as the phone is not being supported. Switching the phone off/on makes no difference.
    No other changes to the phone have occurred since the connection was ok, the only change is upgrade of PC Suite.
    I am running Windows XP SP2, PC Suite 6.81.13.0, connecting via cable or Bluetooth yields same result, using N70 on Vodafone firmware V 5.0609.2.0.1 01-03-06 RM-84.
    Have tried completely uninstalling PC Suite and reinstalling to no avail. Wondered if I needed to upgrade the N70 firmware and attempted to use the new Software Updater but this crashed.
    Quite frankly I haven't got time to mess around trying all sorts of things so any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi - I have not experienced this problem before but there are things you can check to rule out certain possible causes.
    From what I can remember when you upgrade PC Suite, there's an element of it which it installs onto the phone - was that done successfully ?
    Also - it isn't 100% clear from your message, but I presume you're attempting to connect to PC Suite via Bluetooth - does your PC->Bluetooth work OK with other devices ?
    If not this indicates you have a Bluetooth centred problem.
    Next thing to check - can you connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable ? If so then this also points to a Bluetooth problem.
    The fact that the software updater crashed is not a good thing - the update can only be done via USB and not Bluetooth - what message do you get when you try to do the Software Updater ?
    If it's a Bluetooth centred issue, then make sure you redo the syncing process - it's wizard driven so should be quite easy to do.
    Hope this helps.
    Let me know how you get on.Message Edited by edwardquan on 23-Aug-2006

    Did you change your sim card? I had this same problem because I moved countries and had to add a 1 before the number and area code.

  • I have 2 point security for AppleID. My iPhone 4S is listed as my trusted phone to text. No tel. no. is given. I am updating to iPhone 6Plus with same tel. no. Do I need to change anything for the sign in verification?

    Of course You can also add your iPhone telephone # as a trusted device.
    This way when you insert your SIM card into any phone, Apple will automatically recognize your cell phone # as a
    trusted device (may be handy if iphone breaks but you insert SIM card into another phone).
    HOWEVER:
    Having also your iPhone as a trusted device, is convenient if you travel and use a different SIM card
    at destination. This way you can still use the iphone for verification, even though you are using a different
    phone #.

  • 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...

  • Do you have activate a upgrade phone, if you do not want to use it?

    I have upgraded my line, but I want to keep the phone I currently have. I was going to sell the upgrade phone I bought a Glaxay S3. The question, is do I have to actiavte on my line, or does it have a clean ESN in the box? Can anyone activate it, or do I have to activate and then deactivate the phone first? Any help would be appreacated. Thanks alot.
