IPhone :: Is It Possible To Share Family Data Plan?

Jul 3, 2010

My family is currently on T-Mobile. I have an old, beat up T-Mobile G1 that is well beyond its life. I am looking at upgrading to the iPhone 4 on AT&T. We are looking at getting 2 IPhones and 1 'dumb' phone for my mom. Now, I know the minutes are shared by all 3 lines, but what about the data? Texts?

IPhone :: Family Plan?

Jul 30, 2010

I'm trying to get a family plan right now with my friend but my friend lives Ohio and i live in Pennsylvania. If I get a new contract and add a line, is it possible that my friend can pick her iPhone up in her state and I pick my iPhone up in Pennsylvania?

And one more question. In a family plan, does one person have to pay the total bill or is it possible to divide the bill equally?

IPhone :: Upgrade To 4G Through Family Plan?

May 14, 2010

It seems that the new (4G) IPhone according to the leaked prototypes has a micro SIM card. So the usual upgrade plan for many (wife has a free upgrade, gets the new phone, which is swapped with the spouses current iIhone) does not work as the physical format of the cards is different.

Any idea if AT&T can transfer the SIM and change the phone numbers so that this is working again. Is this why Apple is doing this? While there is an adapter from micro to normal SIM one has to physically cut the normal sim card down (gulp). Don't want to know what AT&T is saying if you go to them and say the card doesn't work since it was cut down.

IPhone :: Using A Family Plan Upgrade?

Jun 7, 2010

Since AT&T seems to be ridiculous with this pushing upgrades back business, my 3GS made it so I can't upgrade myself, but I'm going to be using my little brother on the family plan's upgrade. The issue is, I'll be in California for Camp while my whole family will be in Oregon.

I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this. Can I order it to Camp with his phone number on it, then when I get it, plug it into my computer and just put my phone number in it, and still pay the $199 instead of $399? Is there a better way to do this?

IPhone :: Reverted To New Family Plan?

Jun 8, 2010

I'm a current AT&T and IPhone 3G user. My contract is expired and I am eligible to upgrade to the new IPhone 4. My friend and I would like to start a family plan together and both get IPhone 4's. Would I still be able to get my $30/month unlimited data if we start a new family plan? Or would I now be reverted to AT&T new data plan?

IPhone :: Family Plan / How Does It Work?

Jun 9, 2010

How exactly does it work? Is it different from the family plan with normal phones. Right now I have an IPhone 3g and my wife has a basic cell phone added onto my plan as an extra line for $9.99. Would this stay the same if we BOTH were to get the new IPhone, and the only thing extra to pay for would be an extra $25 a month for the data plan for her phone? I'm just looking for a break down of how the IPhone family plan works, not sure if there is a combined family data plan or if you pay for each individually. Any info on this would be appreciated, AT&Ts site isn't very clear.

IPhone :: Family Plan Pricing?

Can anyone provide me with a link to At&t's family plan pricing for the IPhone now that they have the new data plans? I'm trying to figure out whether it will be cheaper for me to get my wife an IPhone or let her keep her crappy phone on another carrier. I can't seem to find it anywhere on At&t's site.

IPhone :: Family Plan Upgrade For 4

Jun 10, 2010

I apologize for the constant barrage of IPhone 4 upgrade questions, but here is mine, laid out for my needs.
- My dad has himself and 4 other member of our family on a family*Family Plan.
- I am the only person in the family with an IPhone.
- Everyone is available for an AT&T upgrade, except for me (February 2011).

Here is my question:
I would like to get the new iPhone 4 when it comes out. My friend wants to buy my IPhone 3Gs. She is on Verizon. From what I read, I can do family plan upgrade transfers, etc. Could I use her phone to upgrade to an IPhone 4, sell my old phone, have her new IPhone transferred over to my 3G SIM card (I would keep my old number, and she would keep hers), and she would simply put a sim card back into her old phone, with her old number. Essentially, both myself and my mother would like to keep our existing numbers, but I would be using her upgrade for myself. However, I would be willing to change my number if that is the only way it works out. What is the exact process involved with this 'maneuver'?

IPhone :: Can I Use Anothers Upgrade For Myself On Family Plan?

Jun 7, 2010

I'm on a family plan with 3 people. Father, me, and brother. My father has a crappy black razr from a long time ago, me and my brother both got the 3gs the day it was released. My brother is the primary line on the plan, so he's eligible for the upgrade. My father doesn't care about his phone so he's eligible for an upgrade as well, but since I'm not the primary line and I just got my 3GS, I would have to pay $399. My father said I could go ahead and use his upgrade. Can I go in to Att and use his upgrade without ever activating the phone on his line? Obviously we do not want to have the data plan on his line, and I would like to keep the unlimited data on my account.

IPhone :: Upgrading Both Phones On Family Plan?

Jun 10, 2010

Has anyone ordered through the mail before on a family plan? Both my wife and my phones are on my family account. I have a 3GS and she has a 3G. We're both eligible for upgrade pricing with an $18 charge per phone. Can I order both phones online and have them both delivered to me, activate my phone at work and then just set her phone up when we get home that night? Seems like this will all work out fine but I didn't know if I wasn't thinking of something.

IPhone :: Family Plan / Getting Two Upgrades Simultaneously

Jun 11, 2010

I are currently with Verizon, but have given up on waiting for a Verizon IPhone and are going to make the switch. From what I can tell, it looks like since we will be new AT&T customers we will only be able to initially buy 1 IPhone 4. A bit of a problem, since we each want one. We were planning on going to the Apple store to sign up for a family plan (since apparently you can't sign up for a family plan via the Apple website) and reserve the phones.

Would it be possible to sign up for a family plan now, without buying any phones, and then buy two IPhones? Alternatively, is it possible that when we go to reserve we'll just be able to order two phones? Or is it possible to just sign up for two individual plans and then merge them into a family plan? Otherwise we may have a throw down over who get the phone!

IPhone :: Preordering To Different Addresses With Family Plan?

Jun 12, 2010

Is this possible? I want to go on a family plan with my dad and brother (only dad is with AT&T as of now) and we all want IPhone 4s on launch day, but we live far apart. If we preorder online can we have them shipped to our respective addresses, or can we pick them up at Apple/ATT/whatever stores closer to each of us but still link them to the same family plan? I will be in WI but wanting to port my FL number form Verizon, which is where dad and bro are. Thanks! I've tried searching but I don't think this specific issue has been addressed yet, let me know if it has though!

IPhone :: Upgrading One Line In Family Plan Using Another

Jun 14, 2010

I need some recommendations on what I should do. Here's my scenario, I upgraded my cell phone last year, and my line in the family plan isn't due for a fully discounted upgrade until next year 02/2011. My mother's line however is eligible for a full discount on the IPhone 4. I want to use her upgrade, but I want the new IPhone on my line without touching or affecting her plan. What would be the best thing for me to do come June 24th? I was thinking about pre-ordering from Apple, but I believe someone said Apple can only upgrade the line eligible for the fully subsidized pricing, and they don't have the ability to switch the phone over.

Pre-ordering from AT&T would be nice, but apparently if you pre-order from them, and pick it up in the store, you won't be getting your phone until the 25th. Would camping out the night before in front of the AT&T store be my best option? Or should I pre-order the phone from AT&T, get it delivered to my house (hopefully on the 24th) and then go into the store that day and have them switch the phone over from her line to my line?

IPhone :: Buying New Phone On Family Plan?

Jun 23, 2010

I'm on a family plan, but not as the primary account holder. Does the person who is the primary account holder have to be there in order to purchase a phone? I went on to the Apple site and I was approved and everything, so why wouldn't I be able to? I can't buy it because someone isn't there with me.

IPhone :: Upgrade Will Extend Family Plan

Aug 5, 2010

A family plan has 4 lines. All lines are eligible for devices upgrade. One phone has been upgrade to IPhone 4, which extended the family plan another 2yrs. Now if upgrading the remaining 3 phones to discount phones listed on AT&T as well, will the family plan be extended 6 more years? (2 yrs x 3). I have heard, many time, that some people get iPhones 4s for all lines of their family plan. Wouldn't that make their contracts to up to 10 years? (if they open 5 lines, all upgrade to iPhone 4s) If it is true, isn't that crazy? (esp. with AT&T). The reason I bring up this question is a AT&T online chat agent told me that it is true that those 2yrs extended contract for each individual line will sum up to 2-10 years. I found it unbelievable. I want to upgrade all my lines.

IPhone :: Monthly Cost Of Adding 4 To A Family Plan?

IPhone :: Family Plan Upgrade And Switching Phones?

Jul 28, 2010

I am on a family plan with the rest of my family, but got added several months after they started the plan as I had a contract I was waiting to end. Now, I'm thinking with a $15 data plan, no reason for me not to finally pony up and get an IPhone. But, my number/line is still several months from being "upgradable". I'd have to pay $400 for an IPhone. All the other lines would only have to pay $200. I'd rather not wait several months to upgrade. If one of them upgrades, then gives me the IPhone, how much would ATT complain at me about switching SIM cards and the data plan from their line, to my line, in the family plan?

I'm assuming ATT doesn't want people to do that, I'm sure they'd rather get $200 more out of me. I've seen several people asking about doing this, and very few solid responses. What solid responses I have seen have suggested ATT would cancel the data plan on one line, and open it on the new one, but I don't know how hesitant to do that they would be. If it was a small price difference, I'd bite the bullet, but I don't want to pay 100% more, or wait 4 months..I don't even want to have to renew for 2 years, but I guess you have to.

IPhone :: ATT Family Plan / IPhone Question

Jun 30, 2010

So I just got my iPhone 4 and love it. My wife, who so far has been fine w/ her GoPhone w/ texting plan is starting to sweat my iPhone. Thinking maybe next year would be a good time to get one.Of course, me being the IT Mgr and tech/gadget guy I told her it'd be a great idea - because I plan on pushing my phone down to her so I can get whatever the new goodness is.So, my question is in one year's time when the new one comes out, how does one go about snagging it at the discount/promo price and switching lines? Can I get one 'on the cheap' via ATT as my 2nd line, than swap sim cards and away we go? What's the process?

BB Curve 8500 :: 8520 No Data Plan With Carrier / In Post Payment Plan

Jan 4, 2010

I have the 8520, and have no data plan with my carrier in my post payment plan, i thought , since i have wi-fi at home, office and tons of hot spots. I can use my BB to access the web using free wi-fi as i have been doing with my last 4 smartphones.Big mistake. i have been charged 55 us last month, for data transfer use , i ran to my plan´s assistance office ( telcel in Mexico ), and the answer i got was. you have to get a data plan from us to be able to use wi-fi ( obviuosly i stared at her , just nodding my head ).There is no point in having a device that has acces to wi fi networks , if i cant access the wi fi network without you data plan, so i got the lady to bring the tech guy. His response was...naaahhh...it will access the wi fi. but we´ll charge u anyway. you need to disable the network from the phone and only leave the wi fi option on so you can access without any other charge, but this will leave you with no phone connection.

Is this real? did i just spend 399us in a gadget that has wi fi capabilities but will not be able to get on any wi fi connection form home or work, without being charged for data transmission over my cell providers network?cmon this sounds as stupid as it does in my head ? i would be really disapointed if i just left my old Nokia E71 SPhone, for this beautiful BB Curve 8520 THAT DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE WI Fi.

IPhone :: 200mb Data Plan Enough? Or Should I Wait For IP4 Data Usage

Jun 18, 2010

I checked out my data usage on the att website and it turns out surprisingly that i consistently use under 200mb a month.

1. I beejive im every work day for at least 2 hours on edge(don't tell my boss) but it suprisingly only comes out to only about 4mbs per day (if i used 3g would the data consumption be higher?)

2. I maybe use slingplayer 1 day a month on 3g (sad) about 10mbs i think

3. I grab email manually by opening up the mail app maybe twice a day max.

Do you think i should switch asap? or is it best recommended to view iphone 4 data usage first in case i upload 720p video (which i doubt they will let you do)

IPhone :: Could Not Activate Cellular Data Network / No Data Plan

Jun 20, 2010

I bought an iPhone 3GS off a guy on craigslist and it works great, no complaints. But every few minutes or so I get the alert saying that I "Cannot activate cellular data network - You are not subscribed to a cellular data service", and it's really annoying because it lights up my iPhone all the time and kills my battery. It's also really annoying - it comes up whenever I'm typing a message or playing a game; literally when I do ANYTHING on my phone. I do not have a data plan, but I have used 'unlockit.co.nz' to install a Fake APN to my iPhone to block data. Rogers has also given me a data block. This has been going on ever since I bought the phone, I thought installing a Fake APN would stop it but I guess not. I can't really restore since I have a lot of stuff on this iPhone already.. but if that's the only option then I will be forced to. I used to have an unlocked Fido 3G (about 2 months ago) without data and it never gave me this alert, do you think it has something to do with my 3GS being locked to Rogers?

This phone is a jailbroken iPhone 3GS (model MC143C) running version 3.1.3 (7E18) and locked to the "Rogers 5.0" network. If it helps the modem firmware is 05.12.01.if there are no real solutions, I still have 2 months left on my warranty. Would Apple fix it or give me a new one if I un-jailbreak it?

IPhone :: IPad Data Plan On Data Card?

Jun 2, 2010

Does anyone know what happens if you get an (activated) iPad micro-SIM and put it in a PC data card? Grabbing the $30/month for unlimited data before it goes away would be attractive if it works.

I'm aware I'd have to get a micro-SIM to SIM adaptor, but what else? Change the APN my PC uses? Does AT&T check the IMEI? I've been searching but no one seems to have tried it, unless my search-fu skills are failing me.
