Fake text notifications?

I have an iPhone 5s and I want to know how to have the little iMessage app say like 500 messages (red notification circle) but I can't find an app that does that.

Do Skype Calls/Video Calls appear on an iPhone Verizon Phone bill?

I use skype to talk to my internet friends but I'm afraid it will come up on my parents phone bill and they'll get mad. When we group call it comes up as random letters and numbers, sometimes the chat name. I'm just paranoid it's gonna come up and I'm gonna get grounded!

Does Best Buy Trade In check the IMEI status of a phone before they accept it?

I have an iPhone 6s with T-Mobile that was financed back in February of last year. I couldn't afford the high payments of my equipment installment plan combined with the monthly service fee so I quit paying on it and got a cheaper android prepaid phone.

As a result, T-Mobile blacklisted the IMEI of my iPhone due to non-payment. I'm pretty much stuck with an iPod Touch since it can't be activated anymore until it's paid off. I would like to get a more expensive android phone since I'm kinda used to android by now so I looked on Best Buy's site and they have a trade in program.

For an iPhone 6s of my condition and storage capacity, they'd give $187 which I could use toward a better phone. However would they check the IMEI status before accepting it or would they just take the phone as/is?

Help me to decide which phone case to get of these ones for my iPhone 6s?

I'm going to give you the links to the amazon products. I'm between these two products at the moment. Background: I'm the type of person who will drop my phone every once in awhile and will never be able to afford to fix a cracked phone screen. Anyways I was thinking that I would put this:

Glass Screen Protector - https://www.amazon.com/...01415QHYW/

with both of these cases the first one is:

https://www.amazon.com/...B014J5EBSS

and the second one is:

https://www.amazon.com/...00M0QW36G/

Also if you have any suggestions for a different phone case that you think would work for me. I want to be stylish but I also want to keep my case protected. I like the clear style but I haven't found one that looks protective enough. Anyways, thanks!

Added (1). I have purchased the iPhone 6s in the regular gold color!

IPhone not charging when Macbook lid is closed?

I'm having an issue I never had before with my macbook air and iphone 5s. I put the phone to charge and it works fine when the macbook air lid is open and I'm actively using the computer. Then, when I close the lid, it'll charge for a few seconds and then just stop. It even happens when I leave the computer unattended and the screen turns black, the phone will stop charging. I suspect it has something to do with the computer and a certain setting I have it set to, but I'm not sure. If anyone has an answer, I'm not very good at technology haha.

My instagram pics look grainy/blurry on app but not on website?

Ok so I have a new instagram account and before I upload new pics, they are always high-definition looking in my camera roll but whenever I upload them to the app, it always looks just a tiny bit blurry/grainy and it annoys me. BUT, one time I checked my account on the actual Instagram website and was shocked to see it was actually in high-definition and the original quality in my camera roll. Is there a reason this happens? And is there a way to fix it?

If this helps at the moment I'm using an old iPhone 4 because my iPhone 6 is broken and I've had the 4 ever since starting my account. I'm just so confused as to why my pictures are low qualty-ish on the Instagram app but in higher definition on the website.

Any help will do.
