I'm trying to upgrade from a old style phone to a new smart phone but it keeps getting stuck in the cart on selecting a plan. I'm already part of a family minute plan but it just keeps repeating on the add a plan thing. Any idea what I should do?

It may be looking for you to add a data plan that is appropriate for the phone you are choosing? Are you the main account holder for the family plan?

yes I am the main account holder. I'm trying to do it for my sons phone. I tried deleting his moble web from the old phone and see if it would let me do it that way but still gets stuck on step 2.
This is the message I am getting.

I still don't see why this isn't working. When I click continute it goes straight to your current paln and I get this message.
and nothing.

We were not able to return details about your plan.Details
and nothing.
When you say remove the mobile web - did you do this via the feature set page for the number? If so you might want to give it 24 hours for the removal to process before you try ordering the phone again. Also seem to remmeber you need to add the correct data plan when ordering the smartphone

Yes I did it on the moble features page on the account managment screen.
When I put it in cart, for a second it says select data plan but then goes straight to saying that it can't find the plan I am on.
