You can try diferent options and one should work first one press the home button and power button for around 20 seconds and you should see the apple logo on screen second you can buy a 12w charger in best buy or amazon it need to be 12w cause those are the powerful ones and can rise battery from 0% hope this options can help you

Usually phone providers suspend lines that are not in active use for while. Just get in touch with your provider through the customer care number to resolve, else go physically to a Costner care centre and it will be sorted

when the battery is drain, it will need a couple minutes before you can turn it up by holding the power button (located at the top of your iphone) thie should work, another solution is to connected to your computer (itunes)

I'm sorry that I can't help you. Because I never use this type of cell phone. I hade brought many of them in the pass for gift to my relative who lives at oversea.

You are not locked in for 2 years. Keep in mind that this a data plan phone. You do not have to pay for a set plan per month, but can opt for a pay-as-you-go (or use) as you text,etc (at least with mine). Note: Depending on your carrier of choice, you need to buy the Convoy to match the carrier. I purchased a reconditioned one (for half the price) from a Amazon dealer over a year ago and it has worked out just great. (I purchased mine to fill out the remaining contract period rather than spend $250+ for a new one.) Wayne K.

Sorry I can't answer that as I haven't used my one yet as I have been away abroad for the last few months.

Yes it's possible. Two solutions: 1)You can either borrow a sim card of someone who has a data plan 2) bypass the activation. Searched "1.x bypass" on google and made your way through bypassing the activation Follow these steps to put the phone in recovery mode;1. Plug usb cable to wall charger 2. Take the battery out 3. Hold the volume up button 4. Put battery back in 5. Plug usb cable into phone 6. Continue holding down the volume up button until the usb connectivity logo pops up on-screen. I bypassed the activation and now use my phone with Puretalk USa without dataplan. Can call/text and surf the net where wifi is available

When you get to the second screen after language selection (with the "activate" button), swipe down from the top of the screen, choose the little stacked rectangles, then swipe the "activation" app image off to the side to close it up. Proceed to set up the phone normally.

I love Amazon but I bought my Venice at best buy on sale. They activated for me and transfered my old phones contacts to my new phone in seconds. I would call a boost mobile store in your area to see if they could activate for you. Or go online to boost mobile I think they have easy to follow set up directions.

You don't! The idea is to have it instantly ready when you turn it on. You just have to touch the home app and it goes right back.

Make sure you can activate the phone. The one I got was lock, because it was reported lost/stollen. Make sure it has a clean esn

Use att&t.; Only thing is though, you will be locked to their network. Maybe you should think about getting an unlocked phone, so if in the event you have to travel, you can just use a chip from whatever country you visit. Just a suggestion.

you can go to t mobile support and ask them. but so long as it is not a phone where you have to buy minutes in advance, it should work

If I remember correctly after 6 months of comtinuous non usage the sim card will be deactivated; however, it should be as easy as calling in the new sim card or typing it in on your my tmobile page to reactivate it and use it again.
