Can I keep my old iPhone 4s and still get a newer phone on my plan?
I have an iPhone 4s and while it's not the fastest, it still works fine. However, I'm doing a lot this summer and need more space for pictures (the 6gb my current phone has won't suffice). However, I write a lot on my 4s and would like to simply turn it into an iPod and get a newer phone (5s or higher) and make that my current phone instead. When I talked to someone at a Verizon store, they said I could get a new phone if I traded in my current one, but I would still like to keep it, and get a brand new phone to start off with, a clean slate… Can Verizon just go into my account and deactivate the phone part of my 4s and let me get a new iPhone?
Of course. You do not need to trade in your older one, you can always just a get new one as thats up to you but they would give you some money off if you traded in the old one.
Personally I would just use your new one for everything and sell the 4S as no reason to hold it and let it depreciate as then you won't get any money back out of it (unless you really are going to use it alot instead of the new one as you said but I don't see why).
Pictures are a non issue by the way, just unload them to the computer and remove off the phone, thats what I do. (I delete ones I don't want to keep).
- Today my dad upgraded to an iphone 10, and because he has the forever iphone plan he was able to keep his old phone and he gave it to me? I synced all of my apps and contacts from my old phone, a samsung, to the new one, when I texted one of my friends, I found out I was sending messages through my icloud address and I had no service. Is this something I'll have to call my carrier about to switch my number, or can it be done manually and from the phone's settings. If the it's the latter, what steps would I have to take?
- If I'm still using my iPhone 3GS through AT&T. Is there any upgrades to a newer phone or even a discount that I qualify for? I'm still using the original iPhone 3GS and after all these years it's now starting to become a problem. I was wondering if they're any free or low cost upgrades I qualify for.
- If I jailbreak my old iPhone 3G will that allow me to update the iOS to a newer version than it has? I have the iphone 5c but don't want to trash my old iphone because i can't get the same apps as my iphone 5. And explain a little more to me about jailbreaking?
- Could I switch to a different phone carrier and still keep my original phone number? I currently have boost mobile but I want to switch to a different phone Carrier in order to get a new iPhone? I currently have an 8 and have boost mobile? What carriers would accept me when transferring? I heard that t mobile runs on a different frequency. Also could I still keep my existing files such my contacts when switching to a different carrier?
