Non verizon issue

verizon think I have a non verizon phone but I bought it from verizon. Can anyone help me fix it?

    sheton, Oh my! This is strange, indeed. Which make/model phone did you purchase? tbo27 provided a great link that will be helpful in ensuring the device is compatible with our network. What error messages are you receiving when trying to activate the phone? We'll do all we can to help.

  • How can I use Messages app on non-Verizon phone?

    Hi. I have two phones: A VZW personal phone and a T-Mobile phone from my employer. I wish to carry only one device when I'm at work (my T-Mobile work phone) but I wish to be able to get texts from my personal VZW number on that phone. I know I can't forward texts, so I installed the Verizon Messages Android app on my work phone, but I can't set it up with my VZW number (I figured it should work because I was able set it up on my tablet at home and it works fine there).
    After I install the app on the non-Verizon phone, I open it and I get a screen asking me if I want to use the app for my default messaging app. If I click no, the app closes without giving me a chance to set it up with my personal account like it did when I installed it on my tablet.
    I also noticed after I installed it, it's called Messages+ instead of Messages. Are they the same thing?

    Hi, has this been resolved? I am in a very similar situation and need the app to work on my new Sprint LG G3 exactly the way it operated on my Sprint iPhone 5S. Here is how it worked on my Sprint iPhone: downloaded the VZ Messages app, followed the prompts to tie it into my work Verizon Galaxy S5 number, and started to receive texts sent to my S5 on my iPhone but in the separate VZ Messages app and not in the native iPhone messages app.
    But when I install the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3, it only asks if I want to "Change default message app? Use Message+ instead of Messaging as your default message application?" That is not what I want so I tap "Cancel" and the app closes. I am not prompted with the opportunity to tie it to my Verizon S5 number like I was on the iPhone. The ability to have the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3 along side the native G3 messaging app, the exact same way it worked on my Sprint iPhone, is very important and the whole reason I switched from AT&T to Verizon for my work phone.

  • I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems

    I am very annoyed at the Creative Cloud set up and the non-stop issues and problems!  I am paying monthly for this service and it is constantly failing in some way!  So far in three months I have had to uninstall and re-install Photoshop THREE times because it stopped working properly and Illustrator I have had to do that same to TWICE!  That isn't including the other apps that have had issues!  I don't have the time to constantly be un-installing and re-installing all or some of the Creative Cloud because your developers are not making a product that works consistently for the money you are charging!  It is costing me more than just this monthly fee!  And I am even less impressed with the fact that I cannot email someone for assistance in resolving these issues.  Really Adobe?

  • Using Eudora or Netscape7 for non-verizon email accounts with FIOS for access

    Since Verizon does not give tech support to 3rd party email clients, and using a non-Verizon email account creates additional problems, I decided to share what I learned the very hard way....certainly with no help whatever from Verizon tech support.
    First of all, there may have been a time (a day, a month, some random nanosecond) when you had to change the port to 587 it is no longer the case.  Port 25 works just fine, and in fact 587 no longer works in most cases.  So ignore tech support's claim that all you have to do is change the port number to 587...don't do it.
    And so long as you want to use a pop account other than verizon for your incoming email you will have to use what is referred to as SMTP Relay.  Verizon tech support will tell you that Verizon no longer supports SMTP Relay, and technically speaking that is true, but Verizon SMTP Relay is not what you need anyway.  What you need is to use the SMTP Relay facility of your Email Client, in my case Eudora and (for my wife) Netscape 7.
    Now before you can actually do anything you will have to have a valid Verizon email account, even if you never plan to actually use your verizon email address.  That means before you can set up your email client you must have a verizon email address. The tech who installed my FIOS supposedly set up my computer, which meant I had internet access, but he didn't set up the verizon email address.  I wasted 2 days before this came to light...so just make sure you have one before starting.
    Netscape 7.0  has an email client my wife has used forever so I had to make it work for Verizon FIOS.  Fortunatly they have a built in SMTP Relay facility (although they never call it that).  You set up your pop (incoming) server the way you always have.  In my our email accounts are on Earthlink, so you use the earthlink POP server for your incoming email.  If you are switching from whatever you have to Verizon FIOS, you will already have that set up anyway.  But you will have to change the SMTP server address to outgoing.verizon.net    and you will have to click the box that says Use Authentication, with  User Name and Password.  You will put into the User Name your verizon email account except without the .verizon.net    And the first time you use this Client to send email it will ask your for your password (use your Verizon password) and you should check the box that says to remember this password.    This will make everything work fine.  You will see on the SMTP Server information page a box that allows you to fill in the port.  If you leave it blank it will use port 25.  If you put in another port number it has to be right, and what is the correct number keeps changing based on which verizon person you talk to.  I found that 25 works, although they say it won't, and that others don't work, although they say they will.
    To Use Eudora (as i do)  first you have to be using the latest version 7.1 because it appears to be the first one that truely supports SMTP Relay. That's a free download if you don't have it.   Then you have to use multiple personalities.  Effectively you set up one personality (go to to tools and click on personalities) which is your normal email account (ie not your verizon one).  This is used for everything with the exception of the SMTP Server interaction.  YOu then set up a second personality which is for your Verizon email account. Be aware that you can still have that account use your normal email return address so folks who receive email from you can reply to your normal email address.  You can, independantly from that set up your incoming email pop account to be either your normal one or your verizon incoming email account (I do it the later way so I can receive something actually sent to my Verizon account, although I never give that out.  But now the important thing is that you set up your SMTP server to be outgoing.verizon.net  set up User Name to be your verizon email account but without the verizon.net and click on Authentication Allowed and Use Relay Personality.  Don't click on Use submission port 587, like I said you want to use 25, but if verizon has changed that yet again no problem as you can set up the port to use independantly using the Tools/Options/Ports , and finally you go to the Tools/Options/SendingMail stuff and select the SMTP Relay Personality to be the one that is set up for the Verizon email account.  That means your client will operate using your primary personality for everything except the SMTP part and for that it will get all its parameters from the Relay Personality. 
    This all worked.

    I use Eudora a my email client and routinely receive both my Verizon and ATT emails. 
    The last email I received  from my Verizon account was at 10:30pm on August 5.  I cannot send emails from Eudora at all either.
    My Verizon DSL email account is active through Verizon-Florida at my home there.  I am currently at my Ohio home and the DSL account is with Frontier which purchased Verizon here in Ohio.
    Does anyone know what might have happened to have resulted in my emails not being sent to or from my Eudora Client?

  • Is my Apple-Issued Replacement for a Verizon-Issued iPhone 5 Unlocked?

    Due to a water accident I went to Apple and they sold me a replacement for my Verizon-Issued iPhone 5.  If I understand correctly, Verizon's iPhone 5 was shipped to customers unlocked.  Is the phone that I got from Apple as a replacement (and I was told that I was getting exactly what I already had) unlocked?  I really need to know as I am about to go overseas.
    Thanks

    Yes, the GSM side of your replacement phone is unlocked.

  • Non-Compliance issue

    Hi Cooper,
    If i enable this script in my environment where everything is maintained as per compliance. If i will install Quest modules then there should not be any non-compliance issue. Means my security team should not raise concern about unlicensed software installed
    in MS environment.
    Pls confirm so that i can make a decision about this.

    Hi Kuldeep,
    To see who's changed or reset their password, you would have to set AD auditing on each domain controller and specifically look for "Account management." You can do that by setting an audit policy in the Def Domain Controller policy so it
    will apply to all DCs. Then you must check the Security log on each DC. The problem with that is you don't know which DC to check. A centralized tool would be better to use, such as SCOM or a third party tool, such as the Quest tool, which you already have.

  • Can you use a non-Verizon USA Prepaid SIM card in a HTC Incredible 2?

    I've investigated this forum,and others on the web and there is some confusion to the right answer to my question. I also got different answers from Verizon support. So here's my particular situation.
    I renewed my Verizon plan that included a new Motorola RAZR Max HD several months ago to replace my HTC Incredible 2 .I have successfully used my new Motorola phone with overseas SIM cards.
    After having the HTC unlocked, I was able to successfully use the HTC phone overseas with various foreign SIM cards. I had initially tested the phone with a USA T-Mobile SIM card with no problems.
    This week I decided to give my mother the phone (mainly for pictures, etc.) and use a prepaid H2O SIM calling card. The HTC phone shows the right H2O information such as SIM & IMEI number but the telephone number is not the H2O Sim one but my old telephone number that I'm using on the Motorola.  I tried a factory reset but didn't help.
    1.  Can I use non-Verizon USA SIM cards in the HTC phone?  If yes, how do I do it?
    2.  If  not, why did the T-mobile one worked?
    3.  If I find a way to change the phone number to my new SIM card's telephone number, will that work?
    4.  I read about "rooting" a phone, will this work?
    5.  Some told me that it was illegal  for Verizon to monopolize the phone. Is this true?
    Thanks for the help!! Tilly Saint

        I understand it's important to obtain the correct information tillysaint, and I'm happy to help you. The device is designed to work on our network. If the software was altered to work on the network you mentioned, some service and features are not available. In addition, the network you're trying to use may not be compatible with H20. The phone is a 3G phone which means if the network you want to use is on GSM, this will not work.

  • Is it possible to bring a non-Verizon unlock iPhone 5 to the Verizon network?

    Is it possible to bring a non-Verizon unlock iPhone 5 to the Verizon network? 
    I spent over an hour and a half talking and/or waiting on Verizon customer service yesterday and another 52 minutes today.  At the end of all that, Verizon's representative told me that even though my iPhone 5 is unlocked, I can't bring it to the Verizon network.
    During this time, I was told several times that my phone had to be added to the Verizon database.  Yesterday when I was told this, I was told it would take 30 to 60 minutes.  Today I was told that it might take two to three days but that even after the change to the database goes through, I still would not be able to use my phone on Verizon's network.

    No not possible. Verizon doesn't import IMEIs into their database. Also the unlocked iPhone 5 does not have a CDMA radio so it wouldn't connect anyway.  You need to use a GSM carrier for that iPhone to work.

  • Non-Verizon Sim-card?

    My smart phone is acting dumb. For no reason that I can discover, it will display the message that it is a non-verizon sim-card, and somehow will have gone into airplane mode. Is this a setting that I inadvertenly set, or is there something wrong with the sim-card? Should I take this back to the store for another simcard? Thanks!

    corikenn,
    Good afternoon!
    I'd love to get that SIM card working for you, clearly an important part of a 4G device. Have you tried removing and reinserting the SIM card into the phone? When you get the error message, does it disrupt service? Our corporate stores are able to replace the SIM card at no cost for you, as well as our customer service team. We can be reached at www.verizonwireless.com/contactus.
    Have a great day!

  • Hotspot With A Non Verizon Sim?

    I am currently traveling outside of the US. I have purchased a pre-paid SIM from the local provider. When I try and hotspot my Galaxy S4 checks my subscription status. Not surprisingly it can't get a response from Verizon.
    Effectively this means I can't use this functionality. Is there any workaround to make hotpot and I haven't tried but I assume tethering too work?

        Hello slerner. Hope your trip is going well so far! With regards to using the hotspot feature off of your phone, it does work off of your Verizon Wireless service account and features. If you are using a non-Verizon Wireless SIM, it is not utilizing or working off of your account, so that feature will not be available. Sorry about that.

  • Fios TV access to non Verizon Internet

    How can I get my Verizon Fios TV to interact with a non Verizon Internet?
    I currently have Charter Communications for Internet Service.
    Thanks
    Deb

    It will still work just fine. You need to make sure your Verizon internet router is still hooked up. Even though you dont have internet service, the router is still needed. The TV uses the Verizon router for program guide, video on demand, and widgets.

  • Verizon 4G LTE Broadband Router - Does Verizon Issue You With A Public IP Address?

    Hi,
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/home-office-solutions/4g-lte-broadband-router-with-voice/
    Regarding the above Verizon 4G LTE Broadband Router, does Verizon issue you with a public IP address that can be accessed from outside of their network or do they issue you with a private IP addresss just like they do with their JetPacks?
    Thank you!

        That's an excellent question olimits7! It will be my pleasure to assist with your inquiry. Our voice and data services are transmitted using a 10-digit mobile number on our network. May I ask do you have the mobile number on your account? If you are interested in a private IP address then we can discuss options. Please advise so we can begin.
    Thank you…

  • Using Verizon SIM Card abroad with non-Verizon GSM phone

    I have a Verizon phone, which is not a global phone (iPhone 4, doesn't have a SIM card). I am going on a trip to Europe and want to use Verizon service there, so people can call me on my US Verizon number, but I don't want to upgrade my phone to a global Verizon phone. Would it be possible to order or buy a SIM card from Verizon, activate it such that it becomes associated with my Verizon account and then, when I'm in Europe, stick it to one of non-Verizon unlocked GSM phones? Will I be able to roam this way with my Verizon number? Will my regular Verizon phone still work when I come back?
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, the sat phone is not an option for me. I believe it's very expensive. Also not sure if I can get roaming data this way, specifically $25 per 100MB package.
    I want to use iPhone 4S (factory unlocked GSM version, bought from Apple store). The frequencies should not be a problem, since it supports all GSM frequencies.
    My main concern - even if Verizon gives me a micro SIM and associates it with my account, will it work in non-Verizon iPhone 4S while in Europe? A representative told me Verizon possibly ties the SIM to a particular phone (normally Verizon world phone). If such a SIM is used in another phone, the registration may fail due to that restriction. The rep was not sure though, that's why posting it here.
