Q: need to transfe text messages from iphone4s to my ip5c
How do I transfer my text messages from my iphone 4s to my new ip5c using icloud backup?
My iphone 4s has already been deactivated but still have access to taxt & pics when connect it w usb...I think i do...
The problem I did not backup prior to being at Verizon store where they activated my 5c?
Any suggestions?? through itunes (do not see text messages listed)...can I through icloud...bluetooth??
I had ordered my 5c through Verizon over the phone & was told to just go to a Corp. store if needed any help at all. So I did.
Verizon (Corp. store) activated my 5c on Mon. April 28...I asked if I could use the wifi in the store to transfer my pics info etc...plus had my laptop with me if needed it...I said cause I wasn't clear about i (never have been)...so I wanted to do it there in case I needed help.
GET THIS:
The Verizon Rep. that had been working with me said "Oh it's easy, when your ready just go to itunes & it will walk u through it". My reply: Thats why I brought my laptop and want to transfer everything here cause. I've never been able to figure it on itunes. Verizon guy said: "Oh you will"!
My reply: Can I just use the wifi here? you all do have wifi? Can't I just sit sown somewhere & transfer in case I need help?
Verizon guy: "Oh yes! We have wifi!! But our wifi is all tied-up with all our stuff/use."
Cause I needed to transfer emy verything cause wanted to trade-in my 4s that day & pay on my bill...
Verizon guy said: (BELIEVE IT OR NOT:): " oh just go 'somewhere' with wifi & transfer everything & then bring it back when you are ready."
Okay I was ready RIGHT THEN...and asked for help...basiccally said "go somewhere else"...and NO you cannot use the Verizon store wifi"
I told a cust Rep on the phone about it to ask if i was wrong to think i coud use it...she said "the wifi is there for YOU our customer to use if you need it--or need help concerning any Verizon products! I cannot believe he told you that...you did not buy from him or that store...yet YOU ARE suppose to get equal service cause it's all Verizon!! I told her "I felt like I'd been with a used-car salesman who knew he wasn't gonna sell me anything" & left with no more knowledge than when I came in the door AND felt rushed...before I left I said: "Oh I'll be back today asap cause want to get this done & trade in my other phone...so, should I ask for you?"
Verizon guy's reply to me: "No, you don't need to ask for me, anyone can help you...(then leaned over & whispered plus I've got some appointments for later"...
OKAY...thinking about it...It was as if I was in a "Saturday Night Live" comedy skit--yet it was really unecessarily rude (cause it is May 02 & I have yet to transfer my info between the phones--accidentally deleted many (pics ;( trying.
Plus for him to tell me their wifi was tied up w/all...all their stuff..."I am their stuff...I'm their Verizon customer of many years!! PLUS just renewed a 2yr contract!!! HOWEVER since he wasn't gonna sale me anything he wanted me "out the door" to "somewhere where there is wifi" & THEN to come BACK...HOW inconsiderate of my time and needing help w/ my iphone I bought through Verizon!!!! So, Anyway still "trying to figure it out...help? anyone?
