Using another line's upgrade...then transferring it?

So my question is if I go to the Apple Store and get the upgrade (on Verizon) on the line it is available and switch it to my line (I can't upgrade on my line directly because I will lose my unlimited data) can the Apple Store do that?
I don't mind if Apple gives me the phone and I have to go to Verizon to make it on my line rather than disrupting the line the upgrade is on, just wanna make sure it can be done.
Thanks!

ETF on family plan when using another lines upgrade

Hey I’m trying to figure out what my early termination fee would be if I removed a line from my family plan. 2 years ago I upgraded my phone early (to the iPhone 4s) by using my father’s upgrade, and he used my upgrade a year later. This year I used his upgrade again to get the iPhone 5s. If I switch to my own plan, will the ETF be based on the phone purchased for this line, or for the upgrade used for this line?
I actually want the ETF to be the higher one so that my dad isn’t stuck with it if he decides to switch later. Is there a way to tell Verizon what upgrade I want the ETF to be based on?
Thanks for your help folks!

When you say you want to "switch to my own plan", what does that mean. If you simply want to stay with Verizon and take your phone and start your own account, there would be no ETF. You would simply perform an assumption of liability.
If you want to go to another provider, the ETF would be based on the line you are taking to the other provider. If you take your line to another provider and the last contract on your line was signed when purchasing your fathers phone when he used your upgrade, you would be paying the ETF based upon that purchase.

USING OTHER FAMILY ACCT UPGRADE AND TRANSFERRING TO MY PHONE #

Sharing Upgrade Question
Hi all,
A family member was eligible for upgrade 1/20/11 we are on different accounts. He has a simple standard phone but i wanted to get another phone he has let me use his upgrade which changed his plan to include a data plan.
in order to actually order the phone I wanted which i know can later be changed back to his original plan.
What steps are going to have to happen for me to activate the new phone under my phone number? Does he have to do it under his contract and is this going to require having to call CS? If he does call CS can he just let them know he decided to give me the phone and let me activate in under my phone number?
I know this void the warranty..
Thanks
Have a nice da!

Do i have to have both phones in my possession in front of me.Your family member (with the upgrade) will need to have his phone and the iPhone with him. First, he will activate the iPhone on his line to accept the terms of the contract. He MUST do this, or he could be charged full price for the phone. Once it is activated, the contract has been accepted, so he can then re-activate his old phone on his line. Re-activating his old phone will release the iPhone to be used on another line.
Do i have to call into CS? If i call into CS can't I just let them know he didn't want the phone so i want to activate it to my phone number instead. You do not have to call into CS. Dialing *228 and choosing option 1 will put you into the automated activation system. If your activation has a problem, you will automatically be connected to CS so they can finish the process. You CANNOT call CS and tell him "he doesn't want the phone." As the account owner, HE has to accept the 2-year contract by activating the phone on his line first before it can be used on another line.
The thing is I won't have his phone availabe to me as i will be at work and he will be somewhere else. You don't need to have his phone, but he does need to have the iPhone briefly to activate it on his line. Then he can give it to you to activate on your line.
Sorry for all the confusion but if i can transfer and have the new phone that i ordered with me while temporaily activating it then transferring it over to my number while the family member has his phone whereever he may be would be great if not i will have to wait to activate it when all the phones can be together. Thank you every1 that has responded and sorry for all the confusion.

I recently purchased an iphone 5c. It requested an Apple ID and Password. I tried to use e-mail that I use for everything else, wouldn't let me, so I used another one. It then said that it sent an e-mail so that I could verify the account. Can't find.

I recently purchased an iphone 5c. Had to enter Apple ID & Password. Wouldn't let me use same email I use for everything, so used a gmail account. Then said they send message so that I could verify ID. Problem is I don't know where it is so that I can verify. All emails are going to other address?

If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:

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.

How to use old phone on another line after upgrade?

Let's say that I've 2 lines, one with iPhone 4 and another with iPhone 5. If I upgrade the iPhone 5 to iPhone 6, how can I replace the iPhone 4 on the other line with the now extra iPhone 5?

Get a new SIM card for the iPhone 5 (they're free at your local Corporate Verizon store or by calling Customer Service). You can then activate it on-line via your MyVerizon account if you're the Account Owner and logged in as such.

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. To view our share everything plans click http://bit.ly/xdDajD You may also view online deals and process your upgrade online http://bit.ly/zpAY1E .

Another "using another person's upgrade" question

Sorry in advance if this question has been covered 100 times before. I spent some time trying to find an answer that fits my scenario in the forums but didn't find an exact fit.
My Droid Incredible touch screen stopped working this past week (no drops, no water, no reason to stop working) and since I am 1yr and 3months into owning the device and have no insurance the local store said I'm pretty much SOL and to contact HTC. Dealing with HTC has been the worst customer service experience of my life and they pretty much said the same thing since they only cover their devices for 1 year. (Said I could send it in to their repair facility on my dime for 2 weeks minimum and they would determine the repair cost and contact me). So I can't upgrade until April on my account and am trying to figure out a way to get a new phone (not at full price).
My girlfriend has been up for an upgrade for months now (she uses a basic phone, no data) and isn't in any hurry to use it. She does't ever want a smart phone and said that I should just use her upgrade. So, the details and questions are as follows:
1. We are not on the same account (family plan). We have individual plans. My plan is 400 or so mintues of talk and unlimited data. Her plan is 400 minutes or so of talk.
2. I would like to use her upgrade to get an iphone 4s.
3. We do not want to change her plan (its something like $30 a month grandfathered plan).
4. I would like to keep my current plan as well. (unlimited data)
Is it possible to make all of these things happen? I have read that it is simple if you are on a family plan to do this. Can we go down to the local store and get an iphone 4s and activate it on my account instead of hers?
As a side question (and to make things more complicated)... Does anyone know if we can we combine our accounts together into 1 account and save money or minutes. We both hardly use our minutes at all and aside from me using the data plan for work we toss out hundreds of minutes per month.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Can we go down to the local store and get an iphone 4s and activate it on my account instead of hers? Most likely - if it is a corporate store. If it's an "authorized reseller" or a third party store, it amy be more difficult and they may tell you they can't do it.

You can get a family plan with 700 shared minutes, 2 lines, for $70, and the data plan on your phone would be $30. I'm not sure if you would be able to keep your unlimited data though - you might be if you do this in stages. First, combine your two accounts into one family plan and do nothing about upgrading for now. Let that "settle"; your upgrade dates and eligibilities will remain the same as they were on your individual plans. If you can make this transition and keep your unlimited data, then you're good to go upgrade the eligible line (your girlfirend's) to the iPhone, but activate it on your line. Her line's contract will be extended for two years, but she can use her old phone and you can use the iPhone. If the unlimited data did carry over, it will remain for the iPhone too.
Thanks in advance for any replies!

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

Firefox internet speed slow in verizon fios until I use another browser. When I return to firefox speed very much inproved = to other browsers

Each time I run verizon's fios speed test in fire fox the results are very slow until I use another browser,IE, chrome, then back to firefox and rerun speed test. The speed increases = to other browsers. I have another computer on the same network but with win 7 instead of win 8.1 and do not have this problem. This has occurred over several months ,versions and updates of fire fox. I have tried many fixes to no avail. I like fire fox and want to stay with it.

Hi karnack1,
Thank you for your question and I am happy to help you. I understand that you have tried a few remedies for internet speed on Windows 7 in Firefox for Desktop. In order to better assist you can you please mention what was tried and if you are using a proxy or not, as well as a firewall or antivirus. Thank you.

I was wondering, would be able to use my eligible upgrade on 1 phone line to buy a phone for another line?

Hey, I was wondering if I would be able to use my eligible upgrade on one phone line to buy a phone for another line?.
Also, I saw a commercial on TV about getting a plan with 10 gb of data for like 130 a month, that does include the cost of both phones instead of 130 + 40 + 40 for each smartphone on the line?...

The $130 price is actually $110 and is for 2 situations, none of which involve subsidized contract upgrade.
1) Edge payment plan. Cost of service is $110, but then the monthly phone payment added to that, usually around $25/phone
2) phones out of contract, then it is $110 with no extra charges.
The the costs break down is $80 for data, and $15/line

Upgrade to iphone 5 using another upgrade

I have 5 lines on my plan. Only one line is a smart phone which is a droid and is not eligible for an upgrade until May 2013. 3 of the other lines on my plan our eligible for an upgrade but are not smart phones. Would I be able to use one of these upgrades for the iPhone 5 and activate it to the line that my Droid is on? My only concern is committing to another data plan on a line that is not a smart phone. Thanks for your help

Thank you mdram4x4 for your response. I appreciate you taking the time to help our fellow community members.
@mf1776,
I understand you not wanting to add an additional data plan on a line that will not be needing it. As mdram4x4 mentioned you can use the upgrade eligibility of your other line to get the iPhone 5 on the line that already has a data plan. You can do an alternate upgrade, which is basically just transferring the upgrade to another line on the account. Visit http://bit.ly/RiHrRf for more information.
Keep me posted if you need further assistance. I'm happy to help.

Upgrade to Iphone 4S (preorder) online using another upgrade

Hello, I have read other peoples questions on upgrading to the 4S using someone else's plan, I just wanted to confirm that I understand it properly.
I will be using my moms upgrade to get the 4S
as I understand, when I preorder, I will use her line to order the phone, then once I receive the phone, I will activate it on her number, then reactivate her phone on her number and activate the Iphone onto my line, correct?
A few more questions, How do I deactivate the data plan on her line? Do I have to go to the store to do this?
My moms phone is a flip phone, how do I activate a flip phone? or does it vary depending on the make and model?
When I go to activate my phone onto my line, how do I tell the phone I want to activate it on my line and not my parents line? will there just be voice prompts to follow to change what line it will be activated on? Or do I do it online from the Verizon website?
Finally, I assume that my unlimited data plan will stay unlimited, even when upgrading through someone else's account, correct?
Thank you to anyone who replies!

Hello wmuav8tor,
I'm glad you asked about the alternate upgrade for the Iphone 4S pre-order. I knew that this question was going to come up sooner or later, which is why I'm excited to answer all of your questions. For simplicity, I will explain the equipment activation process in three parts.
Part 1: Once the pre-order is completed on the qualified line, the two year agreement needs to be accepted. You may have to activate the device on Itunes on the qualifying line to confirm this change. Hopefully the qualified line has an Itunes account of it's own, which will make the process much easier. Because it's a smartphone it will require a data package if one isn't already on the qualified line.
Part 2: Once activated, you can do an electronic serial number (ESN) change at My Verizon. Here you can reactivate the original device on the qualified line and release the Iphone 4S's ESN for use on the line of your choice. I recommend that you review the features on the qualified line to ensure that you haven't removed any services by accident, like unlimited data.
Part 3: Complete the ESN change on the line of your choice to use the Iphone 4S on an reactivate again on Itunes. I recommend having two different Apple IDs when doing the equipment swap, one for your mom and one for line that will be using the Iphone 4S going forward. Assuming that the line that you want to use the Iphone 4S already has unlimited data then you will be able to enjoy this package after the device activation.
Side note: Unlimited data packages cannot be added on a line that does NOT already have it. So if the qualified number has it and the number of choice doesn't then current data pricing is required.
Feel free to respond is you have any additional questions or concerns.
Thank you...

Using another number for an upgrade for a phone online

Okay, so I'd like to use another phone number in my plan to get an upgrade online. So does anyone know if that is possible and how I could do that. Thanks.

Thanks, Rignu217 and lewisr13, for your replies.
Hello JBerg,
I'm glad to hear you'll be taking advantage of an alternate upgrade on your lines. As previously mentioned, this can be done directly from My Verizon, where you can compare up to five devices and decide which device is perfect for you. Keep in mind you'll first select the line that is eligible for an upgrade. Once this is done you will get an option to choose the line where the device will be activated. I'm sure you'll find this information useful. Thanks for being part of Verizon Wireless.

Using Command Line to move objects from one environment to another enviroment

Can the Command Line (sacmd) be used to move Job Groups/Jobs and other object from one environment to another environment? If so, how?

Moving jobs and objects can only be accomplished by using the Transporter application. There is a document called "Transporter User Guide" with a chapter called "Running Transporter in Batch Mode" that details how to send commands to transporter from the command line. It also details how to setup jobs in Tidal to use this command line. Once you have jobs in Tidal using the Transporter command line, you can then use sacmd to run these jobs.
Does this make sense?
