2:45am text from Verizon????

OK, so I get my expected "you've used 75% of your data plan" text. But it comes in a 2:45am, waking me up. Are these guys absolutely friggin' nuts? Don't tell me I should turn off my alerts before I go to sleep. I leave them on so if something IMPORTANT comes up, I can be advised. Who do I complain to about this? If Verizon is going to do crap like this, I'm headed for another provider.

Uh, well, the system is programmed by the little persons in the cubicles. It can't be that hard for them to tell it not to wake people at 2:45am. If they want to look like Dr. Evils, they're doing a good job of it. C'mon folks. I don't get phone calls from my utility company at 2:45am telling me that they've sent me my monthly bill because they've done the processing on that bill at that time. There is NO excuse for doing this. Yep, Dr. Evil is sitting there saying "Hey, our towers sync up at 2:45am. We'd better let all our subscribers know, at that very moment, what they've found!" OK, maybe not Dr. Evil. How about Dr. Clueless.

  • I received a text from verizon saying i made a charge with a third party  vendor that would show up on by bill

    I got a text from Verizon saying I made a charge with a third party vendor that will be on my verizon bill.  What the heck?????

    Don't be surprised. I received this same notice but verizon has almost no way for a person to find the answer easily. Plus there are several charges on my bill that are on the web page that link to the contract. The links go no where! !
    If they are going to charge something they need to find a way for people to know what is being charged.
    An Iphone6 was upgraded on October 6 under the Edge program. The charge was added almost immediately and appeared on the October 12 billing cycle. The older phone was returned to them under the Verizon Edge plan and it was received by verizon on the 13th of October. That credit has still not been applied to our account. It took them a matter of minutes to charge us for the new IPhone 6 but so far they have not been able to apply the credit for the edge return after eight days. All the links to this transaction are dead and there are no records on the verizon billing site to back up the charges. The message today is the first 'hint' that there may be a charge coming but no mention of the credit.

  • Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

    Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
    Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
    can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
    like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

    SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

  • Texts from Verizon in the middle of the night

    I don't appreciate getting texts from Verizon in the middle of the night. Of course, all 4 of us on our plan got those same messages. When I called, the representative I talked with said, of course, that these are automated messages and they have no control over them.  I had 14 texts from Verizon beginning at 12:38 AM and ending at 4:26 AM.  The texts were in reference to data usage which the representative said was probably from 24 to 72 hours ago.  Then text me during the day.  How aggravating!!!!!!!  Has anyone else had this problem????

    The texts are sent as soon as reported data hits each threshold.  Data use information is synced to your account during those times of the day when reporting can be more accurate considering most people don't use data at those times and congestion on the network would be at its lowest.

  • Why have I received a text from Verizon telling me that my account is locked?

    It gives me a link that takes me to a site50 location. This sounds fishy but I cannot contact a verizon representative online or by phone. Anyone else having this problem?

    I finally got through to Verizon and they confirmed it as a spam. We reset my account and I am good again except that the scammers got confirmation of my cell phone number which might lead to spamming in the future. It looked like a valid text msg but upon reflection, the link was not to a secure site. It was to an http: site rather than the expected https: type of site. Also another lesson learned is to remember the separate password for billing account interactions. It is different from the My Verizon Account password. It is needed to access help from Verizon and would have saved me a lot of time. Instead, I had to listen to many telephone menus before I got to a real person. Thanks for your help Ann154.

  • Text from Verizon IPhone 5s not received in Sweden

    My texts that I send to Sweden are delivered as garbled 4-character words. This was not an issue for the same recipient when I was on a Sprint IPhone 4s (until three days ago)
    I can, however, receive texts from the same recipient. This is not an IMessage issue.
    Please advise.
    Thanks!

    Are you using WiFi or cellular data? If you're on WiFi, try turning WiFi off temporarily and test it on the cellular data network.
    When the phone goes into standby, the WiFi radio will be powered down to conserve battery life after a few minutes. If you're getting messages while the phone is in standby, that may be why, if there is a problem with the WiFi network.
    Have you done any troubleshooting at all?
    Reboot? Reset network Settings? Reset your router? etc.?

  • How do i send a text from verizon messages when im not the primary phone on the account

    I have no service at work in the building. I would like to send and recieve texts via Verizon Messages but I am not the primary on the account, How do I fix this.

        mvener11,
    We certainly want you to have access to Verizon Messages while at work. Each line of service is eligible for its own My Verizon account and Verizon Messages. There is no need for you to be the account owner to register for My Verizon. That being said, since you are not the Account owner, you will be limited on the account information you can see, but you will still have full access to Verizon Messages for your line of service.

  • Can't receive picture texts from Verizon customers??

    My sister, mother in law and a bunch of friends have Verizon. Whenever they send me picture texts I never receive the pictures. My husband also has the same iPhone and he doesn't receive them either. We have no problem getting pics from other AT&T users, Sprint, etc.
    Does anyone know anything about this? I said it had something to do with the stupid 3G feud between AT&T and Verizon, but my husband said that was dumb. It's really annoying though! Thanks for any info.

    Its not a feud - Verizon use CDMA and most of the rest of thr world uses 3G GSM, or in a different terminlogy, one is Betamax and one is VHS. they both work, but not with each other.
    At the call level they will interwork but I suspect at the MMS level, they don't but I don't live in a CDMA area so don't suffer from that.

  • Texts from Verizon Every 15 Minutes While on Global Plan

    Can't contact Verizon on problem with Global Plan via email?  It's 3:25PM PDST and no one available via Chat.  It costs $0.99/minute to call 800 # and wait on line, so I don't want to go that route.  Why am I getting Verizon texts that read "VZWNMN:1" every 15 minutes since I arrived in Germany 2 days ago?

  • I just got a text from verizon stating  a 3rd party vendor just charged to my bill.  Is there a way to find out the cost of the charge.

    Is there a way to find out what a 3rd party vendor charged to my bill, before the end of the billing cycle.

    You could try calling CS, but other than that I don't think there is.

  • Why are my text messages not delivered from Verizon Customers to my new provider?

    I ported two numbers away from Verizon and now Verizon is apparently blocking text messages from Verizon customers to my new provider.
    I can get texts from AT&T, Sprint, TMobile, and anyone else. Unfortunately, I cannot get texts from Verizon customers.
    I have been right next to a friend with a Verizon android who texted to my non-Verizon android, and it never got through. My new provider says that this is not uncommon.
    I have been on with Verizon tech support, and while they are nice enough, they have not been able to fix anything.
    Verizon, please take responsibility to fix this!

        rowdyonez, thanks for helping us support Frustrated_Former_Verizon_Cust with information regarding how to resolve their text messaging issue. Let's make sure that this isn't a memory capacity issue. The first thing that we recommend is to delete all unwanted text messages and power the devices off/on to soft reset. Keep us posted. We can assist right here in this forum, too.

  • Cannot receive SMS from Verizon?!!

    A little history, I was a Verizon customer until 11/2007 when I switched to the iPhone and to AT&T. My number was ported from Verizon to ATT and the iPhone worked just fine. I could get and send text messages to/from Verizon customers up until October 2008, when it just quit working. I could send SMS to Verizon customers, but I am not receiving them for some reason.
    I've called ATT and spent hours on the phone with no solution, they are saying that this is the first they have heard about it and that it must be Verizon's problem. Called Verizon and they wont open a trouble ticket because I am not a customer, but said that everything was ported correctly from my old account and that it is ATT's problem... help.. lol.

    I spoke to the AT&T reps the evening of 3/23. I was told that there was indeed a problem with texting FROM Verizon To the 3g. My family is on Verizon and they text some of their girlfriends who are on AT&T but do not have iPhone 3gs and they go back and forth just fine. It is only my 3g that will not receive texts from Verizon although I can send to Verizon just fine. The AT&T representative gave me two case numbers for the several calls she has received just that evening.

  • Received emails from Verizon - Pictures do not show correctly and strange characters appear in text

    When I receive emails from Verizon users, embedded images do not display inline.  Each image(s) instead is displayed as a empty box with the red X boxed at the upper left.  The images are correctly displayed at the very end of the email.
    Additionally, dotted capital A's appears frequently within the text as well as other extraneous characters and symbols.
    Do I have an incorrect setting in Live Mail (Outlook express displays the same) or is it something Verizon is doing?  All of my other emails from different providers display properly.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance which might be offered.

    I have the same problem rec eiving from a friend who uses verizon. I use aol and even opened it in Internet Exporer and the same thing happened. This is a programing glitch with verizon email. I get the text in the email but the white squares with an x and no image. I have to downlod the images and open it as an attachment. The problem is you look at the image without the text which might be describing the image. Very inconvient. The person sending the emal has to enable the rich text option . I am still looking on how to do it on Verizon email but since I don't have it I am having trouble finding a solution.

  • Fraudulent text message claims to be from Verizon - a scam.

    Be advised of a fraudulent Verizon message offering a $20.00 off your monthly bill.  This seems to be a scam (not confirmed).  When I called they requested information that could be a used to access my account.  I didn't provide any information.  The phone number provided in the Verizon message was 855-238-1597 which I later found to be a scam.

    ... don't assume. As a rule Verizon will not automatically change a customer's account. There have been some offers that allowed customers to reply to text message thereby approving changes. There are some current valid offers from Verizon that may match this offering. When in doubt call *611 from your cell phone. Be aware that any call TO Verizon they will ask for your name and SS# or password to verify your identity.

  • Verizon allowing spam texts from obvious bad emails

    So how many of you got a spam text from [email protected], with the x's being the first 10 digits of your cell phone number, last night?
    It says it's from Bank of America and to call 575-904-7333.
    A few months ago I got one from 999-999-9999 and another time I got a text spam from "9".
    Obviously Verizon could easily stop these types of spam text but either 1. Verizon is making money on them. 2. It's an inside job 3. both 1 and 2.
    C'mon Verizon. Is your system really that stupid? I doubt it.

    You can also go into your MyVerizon account online and block all text messages from the Web to prevent the majority of those types of messages from ever reaching your phone.
