Verizon Transferring from one 4G phone to another

Join DateAug 2004LocationNebraskaPosts211CarrierVerizon (was Alltel)Feedback Score0

Currently have a Droid Charge that my wife isn't happy with. Found someone that has a TB that they aren't happy with (and she'd be ok with having).

So, assuming I plan to go through with it how do I go about it? Our phone is currently under contract, and I'm not sure about the other phone.

Do I just swap the SIM card and SD card (to save the pictures) in her Charge into the TB and away we go? Is there anything else that needs to be done on the account?

We already have insurance. I'm assuming it will be null and void now? What about the warranty? It's not being tampered with or anything and both are only a few weeks old.

I know that's a lot of questions but unfortunately I can't find much on the web about how it works (probably because they haven't been out very long and it hasn't really come up).

Thoughts (besides opinions about the individual phones)?

I've read others say they just swapped SIMs, but have no personal experience or official page to link to. You could meet the other person, try swapping SIMs, then call somebody and see if it goes through to know for sure.

I'd think insurance would continue billing you on your account, but in the event you actually needed to use it that's when they'd say 'Woah, this isn't the phone the insurance was for', so be sure to cancel the insurance if you do swap them.

As the previous post mentioned, I've read of a VZW subscriber moving a SIM from one phone to another... and everything worked. Regarding the insurance, I'm not certain how that would work.

Called a corp. store. They said that essentially that's all that needs to be done, but that apparently the phones need to be tied to the proper accounts also (which is easy for them to do). They also said the TEC will stay intact as the TEC covers the current phone on the account. Even if I needed to drop it and re-add it, I'm still within the first 30 days so I should be good. He wasn't sure about the warranty itself, but thought that would work out ok too...but if I have TEC it won't matter...

So, hopefully it really is that easy...

Impressive Vettel powers to another win

Sebastian Vettel is cruising towards a second successive world title after another impressive victory in Valencia.Sebastian Vettel cruises to victory in Sunday's European Grand Prix in ValenciaThe German extends his overall lead following his sixth win from eight racesAll 24 cars complete the race, only the fourth time in history there were no retirements

(CNN) -- World champion Sebastian Vettel proved a class apart once again, leading from start to finish to claim a comfortable win in Sunday's European Grand Prix in Valencia, Spain.

In baking hot conditions, the German kept his cool to finish clear of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Red Bull teammate Mark Webber to seal his sixth victory from eight races so far this season.

Vettel also finished second in the two races he did not win, which means he becomes the first driver in history to finish in the top two in the first eight races of a Formula One season.

Vettel earns seventh pole position

"It looked like a boring race, but I enjoyed it so much," Vettel said in the post-race press conference.

"For every single lap it was just me and the car. The team have done a phenomenal job preparing the car. We managed to put everything together and I'm very happy with the result," he added.

Alonso was happy with his performance, saying: "Second place is the maximum we can have these days, so it's very good to be sitting between the two Red Bulls.

"With both cars in the top five it's very good result, but we have to hope we make a step forward in the next race."

Lewis Hamilton came home fourth in his McLaren, with Felipe Massa fifth for Ferrari and Hamilton's McLaren teammate Jenson Button sixth.

Nico Rosberg finished seventh for Mercedes and Jaime Alguersuari took a creditable eighth for Toro Rosso.

Germans Adrian Sutil and Nick Heidfeld came home ninth and 10th respectively for Force India and Lotus Renault.

The win extends 23-year-old Vettel's lead in the world drivers' championship to an impressive 77 points.

Vettel, who has now won 16 races in his career to put him level with Stirling Moss in F1's all-time standings, mow lies on 186 points, with Webber and Button sharing second place on 109 points.

Sunday's race also entered the records books with all 24 cars finishing the contest, only the fourth time in the history of Formula One that there have been no retirements -- but the first time with that many cars on the grid.
