1st Day with Verizon, not too thrilled. 2-3 Billing Cycles until Employer Discount is Applied.

Deciding to switch from Sprint, I signed up with Verizon because my employer offers a company discount.  My phones were activated last night and I logged into my account after getting the temp. password via text and signed up for the discount.
After not noticing a change in the bill for a few hours, I contacted the company's Verizon Rep to ask about this.  I was told the discount would apply in the next 2-3 billing cycles.  This was the entire point of me switching.
When I signed up with Sprint a number of years back, I didn't have to wait months for this to go through.
Has this happened to anyone else?  Any tips for getting this applied to my first bill?
Thanks,
Brian

When you first apply for the discount, it doesn't show on your bill because the bill has already been printed (if you are that far).
When you agreed to the terms and conditions, it does state a few bill cycles, but that it will be applied. you can log in to your My Verizon to see that the discount is showing on the right hand side, it will show your employer and the percentage amount.
This is normal. It's part of the entire process when signing up. Verizon has to verify the discount when it's applied so it can take 1-4 cycles. Mine showed up after 1 full cycle. So if I started service a week ago, my first bill will not show the discount but my second bill did.

  • My 1st day with JAVA. Help me.

    Hi Java Experts,
    I am new to JAVA, and just subscribed to this forum. Please suggest me some best books and best sites to start with, and which IDE to use for programming.
    Detailed help will be appreciated.
    Rohit.

    ... i keep plugging jEdit from http://www.jedit.org
    it's light weight, free and written in java. has a lot of nice features but is not too complex. netbeans might indeed be nice, but it can be very resource hungry. it depends on what your system can handle.
    i found "Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code"
    by Jacquie Barker absolutely great!
    as far as java intro books go, i ended up going through a bunch that explained some stuff better than others, but never found one that completely 'clicked' for me. by the time i got with them i gave up on the intro stuff and moved on.
    heared that "Learn to Program with Java" by John Smiley is a real good one

  • Unable to send fax with verizon (not fios) landline

    Recently switched from comcast 2 verizon (not fios) and cannot send faxes. I have a dell all in one printer Photo 926. Can someone please help, I need my fax asap! Thank you!

    Do you have a dialtone at the phone jack which the fax machine uses?  I would recommend connecting a standard phone to this jack to check for dialtone.
    I do not know what settings are available for your fax machine, but it may also be worthwile to reset the fax machine to factory defaults and start from there.  We do not limit your ability to send faxes.
    If this does not resolve your trouble, please send me a Private Message and we can work on a resolution.

  • The new update was not too exciting..

    I had just updated my HTC One Max phone today, and it's not really what I expected..all the features that were mentioned for the KitKat update, I already have it prior to the update (with the exception of the printing online feature). I really was hoping that they would change the menu or at least install a File Manager Settings to have better access to transfer files over. :/ Not too thrilled with the new update

    Hi ricardoamon,
    The updates should not affect the conversion to ppt feature.
    I still have that option at my end in Acrobat 11.0.08
    Try repairing Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check.

  • Why do I have to pay for a charge that I should not of been charged then wait for the credit in two to three billing cycles? If I don't pay it I get charged $5 a month late charge?

    So I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with Verizon about charges on my wireless bill. The conclusion of it was: Pay the charge and we will credit the charge or it will show as a balance due with a $5.00 late fee every month. I got two phones on a promotion in November. Part of the promotion was no activation fee. Got my first bill and a $70.00 activation fee was on it. On line chatted with Verizon and they said it would be credited in two to three billing cycles. I paid my bill minus the activation fee. This month I have a $5.00 late fee and a $35.00 restocking fee because they messed up and sent three phones and I returned one. It was not activated. They might credit me that money back. What is going on?????

        I am so very sorry for any aggravation you've experienced getting your billing straightened out, Nunu1957. It's true that it can take 1 to 2 billing cycles for some account balance adjustments to appear on a statement. While I know you'd rather not have paid your activation fees, the terms of your agreement do require you to do so in order to avoid late fees or even involuntary service interruptions.
    I am concerns about the restock fee. If the device was sent to you in error, you should not have been billed a restock fee. You stated that there may be a refund for the fee. Has that been confirmed?

    My apps store will not go online with verizon network, but on wifi it works. I am on an iphone 4, verizon.  I tried to do a complete, backup and restore on the phone 1 day before i noticed this problem,  The backup finished but the RESTORE would fail I had an error, could not access Apple server ( some server name I cant remember).
    I have plenty of space available on the iphone,
    8gb free,
    ios version- 6.1.3 ( 10B329)
    carrier - Verizon 14.0
    Modem Firmware - 3.0.04
    Can someone help.
    I tried doing my backup restore on the same computer as I once did a year ago. and THis time I cant do the restore on the iphone.
    computer osx is 10.5.8
    itunes version 10.
    I do not wish to go to ios 7 at this time.

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, contact the carrier to troubleshoot the network connectivity issues.

  • Can't call or chat with Verizon because I can't use my cell (Account, not technical problem)

    Dear all,
    So I am living in Ireland right now.  NOT using my Verizon account at all.  (Phone still active, still paying, but using a European cell here.)  In the meantime, I need to make a change to my nephew's account, which I pay for on mine.  (He got a new carrier on his own a month or so ago and I need to cancel his line.)  If I dial any of the numbers for customer service from a land line or from my cell here, it says to hang up and use my cell phone.  And I can't do that!  I don't have it activated for global services because I'm not using it.  Then on top of that, the chat online function seems to be blocked in Ireland.  It won't work on any computer I try.
    So here I am, I can't call Verizon.  I can't chat with Verizon.  I can't find an e-mail address.  And in the meantime, for the last month I am paying for a phone that isn't being used.  Because I can't figure out any way to actually get Verizon to talk to me!!  I've tried googling numbers, etc., etc.  The 1-800-922-0204 number says I'm not calling from a Verizon cell and hangs up on me.  The 908-559-4899 number behaves exactly the same.  I tried the Global services number, but they said it's for technical support only, no customer help. 
    Help????
    Thanks,
    Jill

  • I have not been able to download previous purchases since the new update.  I keep getting a message that says this computer is associated with an APPLEID and that I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID??  I only have ONE ID

    I keep getting a message that says my computer is associated with an APPLE ID??  That I can download previous purchases again in 82 days with a different ID? I don't understand why it wont allow me to download previous purchases?? I never had this problem before the 10.5 update.  I have emailed their help panel numerious times and they never do anything that remedies the problem??  I only have one computer and one ID I just dont understand what the problem is. I use a 3G connection to download music and sometimes the songs are not completely downloaded too and when I cant redownload them its like a waste of money.. I am so discouraged!!! Has any of you had this problem or know what I can do to fix this problem?? Thanks!!!

    Hi Bander Bunny!
    I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

  • Lion email does not work with Verizon FIOS - Eudora does

    Recently I have not been able to send email using my Verizon outgoing server on the Lion email client. I can receive OK, but the server keeps rejecting something and a window pops up asking me to select a different SMTP server.
    Before I called Verizon, I decided to see if there were any free eMail clients I could use as a test and the new Eudora showed up when I did a "Bing" search.
    I just installed Eudora and after a very quick setup, I sent a message using the Verizon server without any problem, the mail coming into both the Eudora and Lion mailboxes.
    So the problem is not with Lion, but with the Lion eMail client. I know Verizon does not officially support Macs, but since Eudora works, I have localized the issue to the standard Lion email client.
    Anyone else have a similar experience with Verizon or some other ISP in not being able to send eMail?
    First, Eudora is an answer. Second - I would like to resolve the problem with the Lion eMail client - it must be some obscure server setting. I know that it used to work, but I am not sure whether it was with Lion or Snow Leopard. Usually when I send an eMail, I use Cloud and was using MobileMe so I did not notice whether or not Verizon's SMTP server was working.
    I noticed it today when I could not reply to an eMail that came in on one of my Verizon accounts.
    Here is the Eudora URL
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Eudora_Releases
    Click Mac Disk Image and voila! there you go.
    (works for me)

    Thunderbird might work, but as long as Eudora is working I am happy.
    The built in client used to work with Verizon which is what puzzles me.
    I think you are right, the MacMail app is primarily for cloud these days.

  • Having problems with phone getting too hot when not in use

    Hi there -- I'm trying to figure out what I can do to fix this.  Recently I had to get a replacement S3 because my original shut off mid-use and wouldn't turn back on.  The replacement has been here for about a month and in the last 2 weeks I'm having issues with it getting too hot.  The first time it happened, I had it plugged into the stock charger for about 1 1/2 hours - and I had picked it up expecting it to be fully charged but it was extremely hot and had a warning on the main screen saying that the battery was critically hot and was not charging and the phone was nearly completely dead.  I unplugged it, took the battery out and let the main phone body cool down.  After about 15 minutes, the body felt like room temperature again, so I put it all back together.  It turned on, charged normally that night and all was well. 
    Now for the last several days, I'm having issues again with it getting hot at random times when I'm not even using it (and not charging it).  The last time, I downloaded a temperature app and it said the phone was nearly 105 degrees, and it felt the hottest right at the home button.  Later that night after it cooled down, I noticed that the battery wasn't charging at all and was depleting rapidly on the charger.  I restarted twice with no change and then took the battery out and let it sit for several minutes.  After that it began charging again. 
    With it getting hot so much more often now, I'm starting to worry about this happening when I need my phone for an emergency as I spend a lot of time on the road transporting my kids to school and activities.  Is there a fix for this?  It doesn't appear to be the battery because my husband and I have the same phone and I've already swapped batteries with him - same issue for me, no issue for him.  Please help?  Thanks!

        Hello Micheliu813, let's get to the bottom of this together! Are you using the same charger that came with the phone or a 3rd party charger? We can also test the phone in safe mode to see if the device heats up again. Check here for steps: http://vz.to/1kb9LUM

  • HT5205 I recently bought the ipad3 with Verizon. Could not get it to connect abroad which for me defeats the purpose. My brother had at&t and his worked on the ipad2. Thoughts?

    I recently bought the ipad3 with Verizon.  Went abroad and it would not connect.  My brothers ipad2 connected abroad, although he has AT&T.  Thoughts?  I travel a lot and it was half the reason I bought an iPad!
    Thanks!

    I am not too technology savvy. So for those like me who don't quite grasp all these cards - do either the regular Verizon or AT&T plans that you can easily purchase work overseas?  If not, do I have to buy these micro sim cards in each country I visit?  And the regular iPad wifi (without any cellular plan) will work anywhere in the world?

  • Continued issues with droid charge, Verizon not of any help

    Another week, one day I spent 87 minutes on the phone with Verizon Wireless. Many visits to the store, many other long phone calls.  Poor customer service, the Samsung Charge has been replaced again, same problems.  Many people have admitted these problems, from store associates to managers, yet when I speak with Verizon they will not move us out of this phone into something that works, only to lesser, older phones available, some I can't even find on the site.   We are not the only people having problems with this phone and no one will accept the failures that continue to happen with this Samsung Charge.  We have had LG, Motorolla, etc.  My iPhone doesn't give me one bit of problem, nor have our other phones, just this one.  I would think after being loyal customers that they would be more willing to help.  I have only had one supervisor that actually was helpful, as much as he was allowed.  Another supervisor was down right rude, his manager was to call me within 72 hours and has still not called me.  I think we will be foreced to switch carriers and never purchase another Samsung phone product.

    I'm not the original poster but found this post while trying to find a solution to my problem.  My problem is the contacts and everything related to them but most importantly, syncing with Microsoft Outlook. 
    1)  When I add a contact directly to my phone and mark it as a phone contact and save, it stays on the phone for a few days and then all the "phone" contacts just disappear.  I reinstall them and they disappear again, after another few days.  So, I tried installing them as Corporate contacts and they stayed longer.  Then I started having a different problem.
    2)  My corporate contacts are set to sync automatically every day.  Most days the phone is okay but after another few days, I'll look and my contacts have loaded again, the exact same contact is now on my phone twice.  I went to the store and the guy said to just delete the second contact from the phone.  Really, that was his response.  I didn't think it would do much good but I followed his advise.  Everything was fine for a few days...then,
    3)  My corporate contacts synced two, three and even four times...the same contact on my phone.  Knowing the guy at the store would just tell me to delete the extra's, I did and guess what...I have the contacts on my phone but they are no longer in my Microsoft Outlook contacts list.  Deleted from Outlook.  I can't get them to sync back to Outlook again. 
    If I can get the contacts to reload on Microsoft Outlook, I'll disable the sync program but geezzzeeeee.  I do not want to retype more than 2000 contacts back into Outlook. 
    What do I do?

  • Verizon, I am not happy with the note 3 reception

    I am dripping calls everywhere! I had a RAZR Maxx prior to this and never ever had an issue. It's been almost 7 months since I got the note 3, I drop calls everywhere even in walmart! I have no reception many places in school where I did with my RAZR. What am I supposed to do if my family has an emergency and they can't get in touch with me because of this reception issue?
    Engineers have escalated it, replaced my Sim and factory reset. No fixing the problem. I even swapped my phone with my wife's note 3 and the same thing happen! I have 3 little kids at home and need to be in touch with my medical community, I need a phone I can depend on. Not this type of garbage. What is going on with the note 3?!

    Who uses their Note 3 for calls?
    Samsung Galaxy smart phones are great for so much---except for making calls. Its worse for call and sound quality.  Get use to it. 
    But there are a few things you can do to improve drop calls, fading in and out, static and poor call quality. 
    1)  Turn off all your bloatware applications that you are not using. Remove SIM card for a few minutes and then restart the phone. 
    You can turn off these apps yourself thru the App Manager, or you can use a security app like CLEAN MASTER to identify which apps you can turn off without harming your phone and walk you thru the steps.  Steps are to a) Remove updates b) Turn Service Off c) Stop the Service.    If your phone is Rooted, well you know what to do. 
    2)  At least once a month or so, remove your SIM card for at least 5 mins and replace to refresh network connectivity. 
    3)  Monitor your downloaded apps that you install.  Certain apps with permissions can affect Network connectivity.  I have had the Epic, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4...these tricks will help with your calls. If it gets too bad, use your warranty and get another phone.  My experience is that every replacement I get from Verizon is crap, but my Assurion or Samsung replacements are great.  
    4) After you have done all the above, Dont hesitate to change your SIM card every so often.  Pop into a Verizon store and get a new SIM Card or have them mail you one for free. 

  • 1st Generation iPod (5GB) not working with new iMac

    Hi,
    i have the Problem, that my 1st generation iPod is not detected by my new imac (20'' 2,4 Ghz). When i plug in the firewire cable, nothing happens. DiscUtility sees no disc at all.
    But when i plug in the iPod "behind" another Firewire disc (acting as a fw-hub), the iPod ist detected within a second, and everything works fine.
    I just wanted to know if someone else is having this Problem, or if someone else has a working iPod 1.Gen on the new iMac.
    Thanks
    Joerg

    Hi JvdL,
    I am one with a 1st gen iPod (Windows, 10GB).
    But I have no problems with it and I also don't have a last gen. iMac.
    However, in the iPod Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151 and in the iTunes Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149&start=0#threads there are quite some threads with similar problems.
    Sorry

  • I called Verizon today about my Droid Phone which, AGAIN, is NOT working. I've had it replaced once already.  I've been with Verizon for 9 yrs.  So my plan is due to renew Feb 20th, my phone is NOT working, do u think they would go ahead and HELP me? Phis

    So, I called today to see if I could upgrade, as my contract for 2 yrs is up on Feb 20th.  I've replaced the Droid once already.  It was broken, just not by me. Now the thing won't even work, at all.  I need this phone as I work for a major company and we use these devices at night to contact one another.
    Anyway's, Rep 1 transferred me to Rep 2 saying "Rep 2 has more authority than I".  Rep 2 immediately began finger pointing.  Basically, said Rep 1 didn't feel like dealing with my situation.  So, he was angry, talking fast, and would not "HEAR" what I needed to say.  He offered me a few idea's but in the end said he would not / could not help me, although my phone is NOT working, AGAIN. 
    I told him I would probably be going to another provider, he then began to berate all other provider's.  Gosh I hate when CSR's do that ! 
    So,looks like I'm outta here, and this saddens me.  I KNOW he could've helped me, he chose NOT too.
    9 years I have been Faithful to this Company.  This is the thanks I get? Man, this is so Wrong, on so many levels.
    I am sure of one thing:  Another provider would be happy to have me as a customer.

    Your experience sounds terrible, mrpontiac225! I regret our failure to leave with any impression that you are anything but valued. We don't want you leaving us under any circumstance. What is the problem with your device? Is it a Droid Charge? What are the symptoms?
