Early upgrade (one month) for wacky problematic phone, DENIED

Hello,
I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for SEVENTEEN years.
I purchased the Droid under a different line last February (2010)
around October the on/off button stopped working...
I was keeping it charged for weeks...and sliding it over for it to go on...
but it finally died and there was no way to turn it back on...
Verizon Wireless was nice enough to send me a REfurbished Droid.
This is a DUMB smartphone....if I get a text during a call, it disconnects the call.
A simple phone can handle this, mine can NOT.
I called Verizon in April and they said they'd early upgrade me,
but at that time I didn't know what phone I wanted, whether it be a smartphone or simple, maybe less problematic phone.
Well after dealing with my dumb phone and resisiting from throwing it into a wall from frustration (it has other problems too)
I called Verizon Wireless again .
They went through a 30 minute "typed script and troubleshooting"
then I was told the phone is problematic. well duh...I've been way patient while paying over $200 a month for this fantastic service for WAY too many years!
I was then given an order number, but told it needed to be approved by a manager.
48 hours later I was DENIED.
I feel like an a$$ being a loyal customer.
I was upping my contract 2 years, etc.
and they told me no...... denied. order cancelled.
I am feeling like being loyal is unappreciated.
I didn't think 30 days really mattered for an early upgrade.
I have no luck with Verizon phones either.
last phone I really liked that had no problems was a great light blue and grey phone, no flip,
that I had to give up when they went digital.
Had to be over a decade ago.
Man I miss that WORKING phone...only phone that EVER worked reliably.
thanks for the vent
shopping other networks,
feel like loyal customers do not matter to this company.

Man that would **bleep** me off too... I worked @ Verizon Wireless in their call center for about 3 years & that is not an uncommon issue.
I wish I could give you a solid answer instead of suggestions, but here's how I've seen people get their "early upgrade" approved...
First of all, you've been w/VZW for 17 years?!? With the same account?! I have NEVER seen a supervisor deny a month early upgrade for someone who's had service for 17 years.
- Call back & ask for a supervisor immediatly. Tell the supervisor what's going on & If you are still not happy with the results, escalate it to the supervisors manager.
- If you still have no luck, tell them you want to disconnect. They will actually say "okay let me get you over to a rep. that can close the account" & that person has special deals they can offer you & if it is really only a month or 2 early, they will totally push it though for you.
Good luck!

Good evening would it be possible to get back a free license for one month for adobe photoshop cc because I went on vacation and I have not had the opportunity to test it?

Hi tay-fun@livefr,
We apologize however it's not possible to reset the trial however you can try and use it on a different machine with a different Adobe ID (if possible).

Hi, my free trial license has expired, and I am wondering if it's possible to only pay for one month for after effects without locking for a year with monthly fee. I only need this for a project that is ending next week.

I waited one month for purchasing a BROKEN laptop of Lenovo!

Hi everyone,
I have placed a U310 laptop last month.
For some strange reasons, this laptop has been sent to Lenovo warehouse and it takes around another two weeks for me to get it!
However, when I opened the UPS package received yesterday, then I found
THIS LAPTOP HAS A BROKEN TOUCHPAD! please enjoy pictures. Is this the laptop I waited for more than one month!? **bleep**!?

Now, what makes more me angry is the retarded Lenovo service.
The story is, I need to wait more than half hour to get online representative, then they will tell you to call someone.
That takes another half hour! So, after I fininshed this, I am still waiting for this POST SALE TEAM answering my phone.
I am sorry I cannot afford so much time on this.
Here is Order Number - 4242135568. Hope someone comes to help me with this.

Why does it cost $30 a month for a Basic phone?

I added a third line, and it is a basic phone. No internet, just talk and text. That seems expensive to me, anyone else think that?

If you're on Share Everything the phone also has access to data. That's why it's called SHARE EVERYTHING. That aside it's incentive to get a smartphone isn't it? Only $10 more for a better phone. At&t charges the same.

One month+ for connection?

Hi everyone,
I am a current Sky customer but just applied for the BT service's due to major problems with Sky. I applied for the package BT Vision Unlimited, the 20mb Unlimited BB package and the free evening and weekend calls on the 19th (Yesterday).
Upon filling in the details i was told i would get a free Vision+ box, and the date i would be setup would be the 13th of Jan 2012. While thats a long time with no internet or landline thats fine. I received e-mails oday confirming my order but noticed all my dates are now 2nd of Feb 2012!!
Aswell as no mention of delivery dates for my Vision+ box or anything todo with BT Vision the only items confirmed are BB and my Phone packages and the date the engineer will be out.
The dates are estimated at 2nd of Feb 2012, i have just moved to a new estate and the house still can't be found by most places but my two neighbours have internet and Sky setup 2 days ago and apparantly an engineer just needed to switch the line on at t he top of the road? Can anyone shed some light as to why i have to wait a month and no information aout my free Vision+ box was in the e-mail. I did select Vision+ Unlimited.

It really does depend, because sometimes it can be just as simple as a switch on from the exchange, or sometimes the engineer has to do stuff at the cabinet and your house, which is a little time consuming, he/she will have to test everything to make sure it is all working.
What type of master socket do you have? if you have one at the moment.

My daughters have Iphones and both are registered to my email. The problem with that is that one get the others messages. I have to make one account for each their phones. How do I do that?

My daughters got Iphones a couple of years. I do not have an Apple-phone. I registered both phones on my email. The problem is that one of them get the others messages. I therefore need to make two different accounts for their apple-products. How do I do that?

On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

One month for LaserJet 1006 printer driver

Just spoke with HP support using online chat.
Was informed that it would be a month before a printer driver for the LaserJet 1006 will be available.
I find this hard to believe.
Alan

HP Printer Driver update (version 2.2) is available through Apple Software Update or directly via download from Apple.
I just downloaded and it works fine with my P1006.

Will I be billed every month for a prepaid phone or can I go and buy a Prepaid card every month?

As the Title says, Will my Credit Card be Billed??? Im Hoping not since its a Prepaid.

I took advantage of the early upgrade to the 5c on 8/18 I believe over the phone. Not sure what I did Right but dont have issues.... Why?

I have been reading many FAQS recent ly about this same promotion regarding the upgrade to the iphone 5c 32g and it appears so many of you have been having countless issues with it.... I feel horrible for everyone who has been dealing with this headache. Makes me wonder what i did right because i have had no problems at all, Simply called Verizon over the phone and the rep was super nice and patience and very helpful. All i had to do was call in the next day in the very early AM so they could stop the wrong phone i origanlly ordered before it wasshipped( which was thru The Edge Program) and they stopped it in time luckily before it was shipped and than the same rep canceled out the Edge option and redid everything under the new early upgrade option instead for the 5c 32 gig blue and i got it two days later with no cost whatsoever other than activation fee of 30 bucks billed to next billing cycle. Got phone and all is good from the looks. Honestly no idea what i did that worked for me but it worked. Maybe i just caught the promotion before it was immeaditatly taken off website.

Hi there,
I've just joined google for my email and like you wanted to sync my contacts and calendar.
I had a couple of problems but have ironed them out below.
First....Google have a 'google sync' program that is advertised as syncing both your contacts and calendar. This has not worked for me. I can sync my calendar no problem at all, but it hasn't worked for my contacts. On looking across the google firums I am by no means alone and indeed google employees who post there have acknowledged the problem too,
So how to get round it and sync your calendar and contacts?
For calendar go to this link
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=nokia_smart
Follow the instructions and tell the Mail for Exchange program NOT to sync your contacts. Like I said, although it's supposed to I couldn't get it to work despite a reformat of the device twice! A google employee on the forums even went out and bought the 5800 and tried to get it to work as he has noted that people are having problems. Hopefully it'll be addressed in the future.
For syncing your contacts, go to this page
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=98230&topic=15015
All the details for contacts sync are laid out for the pages of setup you have for a S60 3rd edition device. If, like me you have a S60 5th edition device, the details are all there but are requested in a different order. Have a good scan of the pages and you WILL find all the info you need.
Both methods work great for me and I'm delighted.
Hope this maybe helps
If my post has helped you in anyway, please press the 'kudos' button.
Thanks

RENEW SKYPE NUMBER FOR ONE MONTH

MY NUMBER EXPIRED BUT I ONLYHAVE 16 DOLLARS IN THE BANK AND 6 DOLLARS SKYPE CREDIT CAN I RENEW MY SKYPE NUMBER FOR ONE MONTH FOR NOW?

You could always allocate a number to multiple business accounts in Skype Manager. Then re-direct the number via IP-PBX to go to different extensions.
Try the following here [If you look in the advanced section of this manual, you'll see an example of two accounts using one number]

You can use both business Skype accounts and Online Numbers simultaneously on a
single SIP Profile if you wish. In other words, you may have multiple business accounts
and Online Numbers added to one SIP Profile at the same time.

I have had 9 withdrawls for my prepaid phone this month, I want this money back! I had set up to auto withdrawl from my bank why would it pull money 9 times!

Verizon withdrew 9 times this month for my prepaid phone, I want this money back! can I get a response soon please?

This is simply a public forum, NOT CS. If you want a faster response, you should call CS, but it is doubtful you will get a refund.
Are all 9 amounts the same? If so, you should contact your banking institution or CC whichever provided the funds and report that these are duplicate transactions. It is more likely you will have a better chance of getting the money back going thru your financial institution.

Early Upgrade--iPhone

So here is my situation: I contacted Verizon via phone after seeing that I was due for the early upgrade (actual upgrade for NE2 not until December). I told the CSR that I wanted to get an iPhone, and all was well, until he told me that I could only upgrade my primary line because my wifes secondary line was not eligible for this same upgrade. I was naturally frustrated, because I feel like it should be all or nothing--if you are offering me an early upgrade, let me do all my phones. In the end they still win, as they would have me locked up for 2 more years at my current rate (family share both with unlim. data). So i tried to get the guy to do it, but to no avail. I kept getting different answers from him, ranging from 'Verizon has a strict agreement with Apple that they cant do it for the secondary line until they are eligible', to him trying to tell me that they couldnt do it because of the level of stock being low for the iPhone. I would much rather upgrade my phones at the same time, so as to have on less thing to add to the calendar later on. So I am wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation, and if so, if the issue seems to be over the fact that they cant do the early upgrade, or they cant do it for an iPhone. Were you able to get them to cave??

What you get from the reps are handed down from their supervisors and their sup's sups. They do not cave because the consequences involve the rejection of the order, calling the customer back to inform them that they will not receive their phone, and coaching (synonymous with "warning") to ensure it does not happen again, which is either as pleasant or unpleasant as their individual supervisors are. Beyond this, if they were forced to cave in to every demand that the select customer base has to let their lines upgrade before their upgrade date, the company would begin losing money at a mad rate. The win is not really with the company, but with the customer if this was allowed. You are getting another massive discount on the price of the phone, whereas they are losing money in the big picture when you fail to abide by the two-year agreement you signed up for.

I upgraded to Iphone 5 Oct 1st, my old contract for the Iphone 4 expires Dec 27th. AT&T Service Agreement (Devices) 3.1 (b) states early upgrade is eligible for unlock. I called AT&T for the third time after receiving a second negative unlock response by email, I talked with a supervisor and threatened a Class Action against AT&T and they responded by emmediatly unlocking my Iphone 4.
