Upgrading via another family members upgrade

Sorry if this was already asked/answered... just need clarification.
I am not eligibile for an upgrade until July.... however another line on our family plan is.  Couldn't we go through the normal upgrade process, for the line that is due, on the 3rd.. i.e. order the iphone on that number... but when it comes, activate the iphone on my number and not the other?
Can I do that?
If I did do that... would my upgrade on 7/11 be changed then?

During the preorder for the iphone you will not have to select " Alternate Upgrade". You will have to select the line that is eligible for the upgrade. During the upgrade process you will have to select the data package that fits your needs. Once you receive the device and activate it you may then swap the ESN to the line of your choice. To swap the ESN to your device contact our customer service team. View the frequently asked questions for more information on the iphone http://support.vzw.com/faqs/iphone/iphone_faq.html

Do you know if the phone that had the upgrade is needed during this process? I will be using my dad's upgrade, but he is going to be gone all of next month so his phone won't be available to me. He'd kill me if all of a sudden his phone wasn't working anymore when he's out of town!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

    You each need to have separate Apple IDs and separate user accounts. Better yet, separate computers as well.

    I want to share iBooks between mine and another family members iPad without purchasing the books twice. Is this possible?

    If you have the same AppleID then just download on the second iPad by going to Purchases in the Bookstore.
    If you are not using the same ID then you have to purchase again.

  • Using another family members upgrade?

    This has probably been asked a billion times, so sorry about that. My mother and I both have an iphone 4s, but she has had hers for longer so she is eligible for an upgrade sooner than me. Mine is cracked pretty badly, and I can't use this phone for another year. Can I use her upgrade to get an iPhone 5?

        Dear tylersux,
    Good morning. I am sorry to hear your phone was recently damanged. I know how frustrating it can be to work with a cracked screen on your phone. It would be my pleasure to address your upgrade concerns.
    First and foremost, have you checked if you have insurance on your phone? If so, you may file a claim and replace your phone with the same make and model. To verify insurance and file a claim click http://bit.ly/07CrqPK
    If there is no insurance, I am happy to inform you that yes, if your mother's phone line is eligible to upgrade, you may process an alternate upgrade by using her upgrade to get a new phone at discounted pricing then activate the phone on your line. This will extend her contract end date as well as her upgrade date. Also, please keep in mind, if she has a grandfathered unlimited data plan, it would remove her data plan and require to change to new data pricing.

  • Can i use another family members upgrade for an iPhone?

    I currently have a Blackberry Bold with unlimited data, and the other line on my plan is just a basic phone. Currently walmart, has the iPhone 5 on sale for $127 but the sale goes off before my upgrade which is on 1/23/12. Back in October one vzw sales Rep told me j could transfer the other persons upgrade to my line to get an iPhone 5. But last night on the vzw support twitter someone told me that the iPhone 5 wasn't eligible for early upgrades therefor I couldn't use the other lines upgrade, that I could only use mine on 1/23? Does anybody know which is right?     Also could I keep my unlimited data if I was to transfer her upgrade? I know I couldn't if I used mine.

    Yes if you transfer her upgrade you can A) get the iphone and B) keep your unlimited data and because your coming from a blackberry to iphone i advised doing backup assistance on your blackberry before the transfer but other than that youll have no problem with the activation just make sure that if you get it from walmart that you call to activate it otherwise they will activate it on the wrong line and cause all sorts of problems

  • Question on using another family members upgrade

    Okay, so I plan to pre-order the iPhone 4 on the 3rd, but I am not eligible for an upgrade yet. However, my uncle is eligible and has said that I can use his upgrade. When I order the iPhone 4 using his line, how exactly do I then activate it for my line? Please note that he lives in a different state right now, so I won't have his phone available to me during this process. is his phone needed at all?

    During the preorder for the iphone you will not be able to select " Alternate Upgrade". The functionality of the alternate upgrade will become available online at a later date. To process the upgrade online for the iPhone, you will have to select the line that is eligible for the upgrade. Once you receive the device and activate it you may then swap the ESN to the line of your choice. To swap the ESN to your device contact our customer service team.

  • Is there a way to watch another family members movies through family share without downloading the entire movie?

    Before family share my kids were signed in under my apple ID. They had the ability to just stream whatever Disney movies they wanted that we owned. Now they have to download the entire movie to watch it? Seems a bit over kill to me. Plus those movies fill up their entire ipads.

    Think of all this as two entities, 1. your Apple ID's and 2. Apple services (and by services I mean iCloud, iTunes, Home Sharing, Messages, FaceTime, Support Communities etc etc).
    You can choose to use a different ID for each service, thereby creating the flexibility you are looking for.
    For iCloud (which syncs contacts, mail, calendars etc) I suggest you each use your own ID, this means you will have your own contacts etc.
    For iTunes, you might use separate ID's or you might both use the same one, I make no suggestion here because there are benefits to both ways. You may want to keep your music, movie, books and app purchases separate or you may want to unite them to avoid potentially paying for things twice.
    For Home Sharing I suggest you use just one ID, it doesn't matter who's it is, so long as you both use the same one, this will ensure that any device using home Sharing can see and play the content from anyone's library on the same network (regardless of which ID it uses for iTunes) that is logged into the same home sharing account.
