Upgrading to iPhone 6 by signing up for Edge - store employee insisted that I have no choice but to purchase a $180 accessories bundle. Scam?

I was surprised that the Verizon Wireless store employee told me that to upgrade my phone with Edge, it's a great deal since I would qualify for a $25 / mo line discount (10GB shared family data plan), but I would have to pay $180 upfront to get "free accessories". Except to me, it sounded like he was trying to force me to buy a $180 accessories bundle. I decided to do more research instead of making the decision to buy, and I don't see anything online about the $180 upfront "required" payment to upgrade a phone with Edge. Was the salesperson just trying to rip me off?

Yes you are being "scammed" there is absolutely no requirement to purchase anything for Edge, you must qualify and be out of contract but no requirements to purchase any accessories bundle. The only thing they could make you pay is around a 20% down payment in cases where you don't fully qualify on the credit check but that is simply paying off part of the cost of the phone which reduces the monthly amount you would pay.

Signing up for edge

I Would like to sign up for Edge so I may take advantage of getting a new iPhone in a few days when they become available. Can i do that even though I'm not eligible for an upgrade until December? If so, will I be stuck paying on the remainder of my 2 year contract?

We are so happy to know that you are looking to upgrade your phone. We would need to see if you qualify for any upgrade promotions at this time. If not, you would need to wait until your actual upgrade date in December.

So if I sign up for Edge and have to trade in old phone

if I sign up for edge at verizon store or online and want a iphone 6 which is back ordered...how will I use my service if I have to trade my old phone in I have now? I'd be left without a phone until the iphone becomes available.

And you only have to trade in your old phone IF you Early Edge. Meaning you cut a 2-year contract short to get a new phone on the Edge plan. If your contract is done and you are "month-to-month", you keep your old phone.

I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!

Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

I recently signed up for iTunes Match. It works well on my iPad2 but not my iPhone4S. A while ago my music did show up but it was grayed out. Now I don't see anything. I've tried everything I can think of. I'm running the latest operating system

When you upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4, will you lose any existing texts you have saved?

When you upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4, will you lose any existing texts you have saved?

That does do that. However it is a temporary backup and not the most reliable. Make sure you also go into file > Transfer purchases from _______ to make sure you save your music and apps. though the article that wjosten posted is correct for the backup as well. But article HT1414 is better for info on backing up.

I just traded in my iPhone 4S for Samsung Galaxy 4S, still have iPad. Some of my iPhone contacts are unable to send me a txt that I can receive. But NOT all of my iPhone contacts. I have had them change their settings for my ph number to NOT say iPhone.

I have had them change their settings for my ph number to NOT say iPhone. Txt msg is disabled on iPad. I have no idea what to do. I called the support line that I Pay $9.99 a month for. They told me to delete my iTunes account. Will I lose all my pics on my ipad? I have no music download. I'm getting ****** at this whole thing. And it allllllll started with apples update to the ios7.... I HATED IT. Help.

What your iPhone using friends label your phone number in their contacts is irrelevant. I don't know who you pay $9.99 a month to but it's not Apple. You can't disable text messaging on your iPad as it is not capable of SMS.
Do you still have the iPhone? If so, log out of iMessage on the iPhone.

Warranty and support is only valid in the country of origin. The only exception being the EU where a device bought in any EU country can get warranty or service in any EU country.
Warranty is determined by device (serial number), no documentation required.
Apple does not repair devices, they replace them. For that reason, ensure the device is backed up and any pictures take with the device are copied off the device prior to going in for service.

HT2736 I coud not sign up for apple store , I can not ad my billing information,what is the iTunes Gift ?

I coud not sign up for apple store , I can not ad my billing information,what is the iTunes Gift ?

By 'could not sign up' and 'can not add my billing information' you mean ... ? Did you get any error messages ?
iTunes gift cards are an alternative way of paying for content from the store. They are not available in all countries and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue) - so they may not be available where you are, so you may not be able to fill that field in.

I bought a MacBook Pro I can not sign up for the updates, because I do not have credit card. Only own debit card, but the system does not accept. What can I do?

You do not need to "sign up" for downloading updates. Just run Software Update and let it access them directly thru the App Store.

TS3899 I have an iPhone 5 and it shows on the Mail Icon that I have over 3,000 emails to read but the number continues to increase even when I have read the email. I thought once you have read an email it drops off the count of "new emails"

The received emails should show in two locations:
1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
2. The Inbox for each mail account,
If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

I'm not sure what you mean by a "developer imposture", but if you are having a problem with an app that the app's developer cannot or will not assist with, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Hi Eric,
The message seems to totally disappear. It is going to an AOL customer in UK. I changed their address to start with a lowercase letter & the message was returned to me by AOL as undeliverable, I then changed the first letter of the address beck to upper case, the same I have been using for years, but again it disappeared.
I appreciate any help you can give me. Tks Gord.
