Upgrading from a feature phone to smart phone

I have a feature phone with a 75mb data plan that is pre share everything plan and we are not interested in switching to the share everything plan.  I'm wondering what I have for options for a data, if anything, if I want to upgrade to a smart phone.  I will not be upgrading my line, just buying a phone second hand.  Any insight would be helpful.

You can stay on your old plan even with an upgrade. The only ones that had to buy a phone at full price are the ones on Unlimited. Anyways the data options for smartphones with the old pricing are 2 GB for $30, 5 GB for $50 and 10 GB for $80. Overages are $10 per GB.

    How do I export contacts from my iPhone to other smart phone?

    When you plug you iphone back up to you itunes itll back it up completly your pics your contacts your messages etc. it wont erase it because itll back it up first..

  • Suddenly a problem phoning from my iPhone 5s to my partners phone (not smart phone)

    I have been using my iPhone 5s without trouble but since my partner has bought a new phone (not smart phone - same number but new moblie provider) I can send text messages but cannot make a call to her. I get a voice telling me her number is not in service. Her brother has same problem form his iPhone. Is this a fault with her mobile provider or is it something in settings on my phone? Any suggestions??

    I would contact your mobile provider. I had a similar problem a number of years ago when attempting to call one number (not from an iPhone) and the provider was able to identify and resolve the problem on their end.

  • Upgrading a basic phone to smart phone without 'Share Everything'

    I have older Family Share Plan containing basic phones, as well as smart phones (with tiered 2GB/$30 monthly data). When they are eligible for upgrade, will any new smart phones added to the plan be able to receive the same 2GB/$30 data that other phones currently on my plan receive?
    The more unreasonable options seem to be requiring every single person on the plan to switch into Share Everything, or booting the person looking to get a smartphone out of the plan. Neither of these are a viable option.
    Thanks for any help clearing this up!

    The $30 per month is for 2 GB of data, in addition to whatever you are paying per month for voice/text/insurance/taxes, etc.  When you do switch, if you aren't aware of it, do it on the first day of your billing cycle so that you don't run into proration. 
    And some people are reporting that some Corporate stores try to convince people that they'll save money on the Share Everything plan.  Some will save money, some won't.  Just do your homework, know what plan you want, and read your new contract before signing! 

  • Switching basic phone and smart phone between members of family plan.

    I am considering switching my basic phone with my son's smart phone.  He would like to have my phone under his current number and vice versa.  I have found the online instructions through My Verizon.  He is the only one in the family plan with a smart phone (the rest of us are all basic phones). Do you think Verizon will automatically switch my son's data package to my number? or will I have to contact verizon/go into a verizon store to do so?
    This excerpt from the instructions makes me think phone calls and/or visit to the verizon store may be necessary:
    "switch devices between two compatible plans on your account. Each person keeps their phone number and plan, but will have the swapped device."
    Since I have a basic phone with no data package, are our plans non-compatible?
    Thanks!

    You can still switch phones.  The only problem I see is if he currently has an unlimited plan in which case that may be lost and you'll need to choose the 2, 5 or 10GB plan for your line. Probably best to just call customer service from a different device to make sure everything gets set up correctly.

  • Can I Activate New Phone Without Changing Plan? Smart phone to Smart Phone

    I have a Droid Incredible and while I am waiting for some new Windows Phones to come out next year, I thought I would try a Trophy for a while. Im eligible for a discount May of next year.
    I was going to get an HTC Trophy off of Ebay and use it instead of my Incredible while I wait for better Windows phones. Is this as simple as calling and activating the Trophy when I receive it and no longer using my Incredible?  Ive had the unlimited data plan since I first got the Incredible a year and a half ago. So I would expect nothing should change with my plan and this should be straight forward.
    Am I correct in this or is Verizon going to give me problems and make me change my contract?

    I would like to upgrade my son's phone, but I don't want to pay for a smart phone and a data package. All of the "basic" phones that Verizon offers now have terrible ratings (and not to mention that there aren't very many phone choices.)  I have an older blackberry, and I was thinking about letting him have that for a while and transfer the number over. Will I have to get a data plan if I give him my old blackberry?

  • Upgrading from basic phone to smart phone

    My 2 year contract is up, and I am trying to figure out if I want to upgrade to a smartphone.  I have went all the way thru the steps to see what cost would be, but it doesn't show me switching from my Nationwide talk/text 450 plan to a share everything plan.  It shows adding 2g data for $30/month.  Is this right? 

    You have several options ...
    You can just add a 2GB/month data package for $30/month.
    You could switch to the new single plan that's currently being offered:
    Single Line Cell Phone Plan from Verizon - Verizon Wireless
    Or you could switch to a Share Everything plan:
    Plans - Share Everything - Verizon Wireless
    It depends on how much data you might use and if you want/need unlimited minutes/texts.  Be aware that if you switch from your Nationwide plan, you can't switch back.

  • HT201412 Upgrade from os5 to os6 caused the phone (4s )to loss service any ideas?

    Hi
    Tried to upgrade my 4s from os5.0 to os6.0 upgrade completed but I have no service. Tried everything I know no luck. Any body had this issue and
    Managed to resolve it?

    Hello Again Fellow BB Users
    Just an update of the issue.
    I've read somewhere that i need to reload the OS 5. So i did this and found out that that step actually wiped clean all settings and data. Thank God i backed up the phone a couple of days before. After restoring data, the phone worked well through out the whole day.
    Before goinf to sleep that night, i connected the pohone to the charger and switched on my night mode and went to bed. In the morning, i get this white screen saying "JVM error 102" and a reset option. I did the reset, and it went back to the white screen. I did a battery pull, it went back to the white screen. everything i did went back to white screen.
    I had to downgrade back to OS 4.6 and restore my data again. now the phone's working fine.
    I love the feel of OS 5 and would still like to use it, but it makes my phone go wonky. Is there any updates or patch for it? Looks like i would have to wait before upgrading my device software. Anyone here can answer??

  • Iphone4 upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 phone crash

    decided to upgrade my op system from 4.1 to 4.2

    Apple fayult finding recomended removing latest version of its self and tthen reinstallation which was performed ok (has this deleted my origional phone back up apple?).
    iphone 4 iss still us any one got any suggestions as apples online help is realy quite poor on this matter and shurly i cannot be the first to encounter this problem...

    David,
    ACS full software's are not listed on CCO (even if you have a valid contract)and can be provided via TAC.
    To upgrade ACS we need to have a software upgrade contract.
    I would suggest to open a case with TAC and most likely upgrade should be covered in your existing contract since it is a minor upgrade.
    You can also touch base with Cisco rep assigned to you site.
    Let me know if you have any question.
    Regards,
    ~JG

  • Transfering to an iPhone from a previous AT&T smart phone

    How do I transfer contacts over?

    You will have to get them from your old phone into a supported contact manager on your computer or into a supported cloud service. Then you can sync them to the iPhone.

  • Time to upgrade my BB...What Smart Phone Should I get?  Or should I wait?

    I'm due for new phone now.  I use my old pearl blackberry phone for emails, web, and most importantly syncing my Microsoft Outlook contact, tasks, and calendar.  I know the BB does it, but do these other Droids or other smartphone do it?  The Blackberry Torch looks perfect (I wish Verizon had it)...I want a  full keyboard and touch screen (i.e. like torch)  What is my second best choice?  Something else coming out in the next few months I should wait for?  Again, must be able to sync easily with Outlook.  Thanks!

  • Can i send a pdf from imac to iphone or smart phone

    can i send a pdf from imac to iphone
    other than as a mail attachment?

    Hi.
    Yes. You can drag the pdf file into the Books display window in iTunes, then sync your iPhone. The pdf will make itself available in the iBooks app on your iPhone.
    Look at this... iBooks: Viewing, syncing, saving, and printing PDFs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    I hope this helps.

  • Early Termination for Upgrading to Smart Phones

    I am really frustrated with Verizon right now. I have plan with several smart phones and 2 basic phones. I wanted to upgrade these 2 phones to Smart Phones. I couldn't imagine that this would be an issue. Verizon only earns more money by having me purchase smart phones instead of basic phones. I was told that I can't upgrade until September when the contract on these basic phones is up unless I want to pay a $175 early termination fee per phone. I understand that in general, you need people to stay with the contract for the 2 years in order to cover the price of the phone they were given.  In this case, these are cheap phones. I'm sure they have been paid for many times over in the past year. If I upgrade, verizon will be getting $40 a month per phone instead of $20 a month per phone. I might even upgrade the Data plan. Instead I am completely trapped until September. $175 Termination fee would be way more than these basic phones are worth. I am tempted to go to another carrier and start a new contract and let these run out - it will actually cost me less to pay the bill for these phones and not use them than to pay for an early termination fee. Or maybe I'll try one of the comanies that offers to pay your termination fee. Verizon - you are not making sense! P.S. If you want my basic phones back, you can have 'em.

    Unfortunately Joe, VZW can't bend the rules just to satisfy you or anyone else.  I know you may think that it would be only smart for them to let you out to get another phone plan that will yield them more revenue.  However, they're not seeing it that way in your case.  Rule are rules regardless of if we like them or not.  I upgraded my iP5 to an iP6+ in September.  I was less than 2 months on the end of of current 2 year agreement...but because I used Early EDGE I had to give away my phone, which I was 2 months from owning outright, back to VZW for absolutely no compensation just to enjoy the offer of Early EDGE.  Fair...maybe not to most.  Some people would think that VZW should have just let them out since they were so close to the end...but I didn't see it that way.  I understood my agreement when I signed up and therefore I knew I had to uphold my end of the bargain.  My point is, VZW makes exceptions for a lot of things...but I've never really heard anyone on here say that they've bumped up an upgrade just because they were asked by the consumer.  Best of luck to you with your next carrier...but be advise that I don't think many other carriers are going to bump your upgrade date just because you ask...they'll inform you that if you plan to upgrade earlier than 2 years then you'd probably want to try their version of EDGE...(i.e. Next, JUMP, or Easy Pay)

  • Verizon refuses to honor $10 off upgrade from regular phone to smartphone incentive

    After upgrading from regular phone to smart phone that was advertised for $10 off last december, customer service dragged feet for over one year with no response only to come back stating that the offer is no longert available (duh) so they cannot honor the discount which was the only reason I upgraded in the first place.  Thus, they made a substantial change to the plan affecting my bill and refuses to refund my overpayment and threatened to cut my lines if I do not pay the full amount.  Anyone have another reqource to get my reimbursement without losing my account and ruining my credit?

  • I have an ipod nano, and an HP laptop. I've purchased music from the itunes store, as well as down loaded most of my cd's to the library. My question is: how do I get all this music into my Samsung smart phone?

    I've spent the last 6 months purchasing from the istore and downloading CD's to my library, in preparation for a 6000km cruiser trip on my motorcycle this summer. Only to find out that I cannot download from itunes to my Samsung smart phone. Does anyone know why, or does anyone know how? I called Mac tech support and they told me it cannot be done, I have to purchase an iphone. Please help, I've got 2000 songs for the trip and a bluetooth headset in my helmet. I own an ipod nano full of the same songs, but of course Mac made it so you cannot blue tooth a nano, so I have to use my phone.
    Thanks ahead of time!  
    PS  Keep your instructions rather simple though please, I'm 60 yrs old!

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.
