20 Questions on Activating My iPhone
-
If I want to buy the same iPhone again, do I have to pay to get the contract changed?
I had my iPhone 4 screen changed to blue and then I broke the phone when I dropped it. I know my warranty expired when I changed the screen out, so I can't go into the apple store and have them fix it. I want to know if I buy an iPhone 4 that is the same as my old one, if I have to pay to get the contract changed, or if, since they are the same phone, if I can just get one without changing the contract.

Does it cost more to buy an iPhone in store?
I'm upgrading from an old flip phone (completely irrelevant) and I know that if you go into a Verizon Wireless store (my service provider) they will charge you extra for doing it in person. Is there a similar cost at an Apple Retail store? Or would it be the same price as online (disregarding taxes and shipping)?

Answer
I am wanting to do a similar thing, and while I don't have a definitive answer, here is what I learned.
To do this, you will need at least the phone number and account number for the phone being upgraded. Some may have a "Billing password", too, though the one I was doing didn't seem to. You probably have to choose a new contract plan, even if you stay on the same carrier network.
The good part of buying online is that the phone won't activate until turned on the first time, so her old phone will keep working. When I chatted with AT&T about this, they told me the phone has to be activated within 14 days, but I didn't see any mention of this when I purchased through Apple.
Also, AT&T told me that I will be able to merge two contracts into one "Mobile Share" contract after they are activated, which is good because Apple won't let me buy a phone with an existing AT&T service and add it to a different account.- Answered by Ross H from Mountain View

Is battery life prolonged by turning off the iPhone 5, when it is not in use?

Best Answer
Definitely. In fact, the best way to take advantage of the extended new battery of the Iphone 5 is powering it off, I have noted that powered off battery can last for weeks.

Taking over an iPhone 5 upgrade for my kid, and handing down my iPhone 4 (both ATT). Can this be done?
After ordering an iPhone 5 upgrade that my kid is eligible for, can I take over that phone with my phone number and hand him down my iPhone 4? We both are on the ATT carrier.

Best Answer
Yes you can. When you purchase the phone, the phone will be under his number. than you can simply go to AT&T and they will switch the numbers for you. Kind of like your trading phones.
