Regarding the 39.99/450 min plan

Hi, I was trying to sign up for the 39.99 a month plan which gives 450 minutes for the Droid X (this is an online distributor). I understand that there is a mandatory data plan which I decided on the 29.99 'PDA/Smartphone Personal Email and Web'. I don't need/want texting so I assumed it would be roughly $70.00 a month (not including fees/taxes/etc). However during the credit check process, I was told that I needed to call a vz rep because of my selection. The rep told me that they don't allow that as an option, andthe 'absolute' bare minimum would be the $59.99/900 minutes.
Is there any truth in this, or was the rep just trying to upsell additional minutes which I don't really need.
thanks in advance

You CAN use the Droid X with the $39.99/450min plan + the $29.99/month unlimited data package. Note that this does not include texting.
I suspect that your problem may lay with the online retailer. In order offer the steep discounts that they do, 3rd party retailers put additional restrictions on purchases, and often require buyers to sign a 2nd contract directly with them. The value of the discount you selected may only be valid if you purchase a calling plan of a certain value.
I would reccomend trying your purchase directly through this website instead.

Add Current Indv Plan to New Family Share Plan

I am currently under a 2yr an Individual 450 min plan contract, that expires in about 8 months (11/10/11); my mother is planning on porting her Sprint number to VZW with her company's discount. I cannot just add lines to my account as I do not qualify for her discount, so we would like to create a 2yr 700min talk & text family plan with her number being the primary account, my number as a second line, and another Sprint number as the third line.
Will I be charged an Early Termination Fee to move my individual plan number to this family plan? And will I be able to upgrade to a new phone with the 2yr plan price, in turn extending my plan another two years? Or will I need to wait til my plan expires to join this family plan with a new phone, in order to avoid paying full retail price?
The primary number (Mom), and myself would each like to get the iPhone or similar 3g smart phone, where as the third line will be a basic, non-smart, non-data plan, phone.
Thanks for any insight!

Thank you lewisr13 for your reply, the information is correct. I have some additional information about our AOL (Assumption of Liability) program that should also help with merging accounts. You will not be billed for any Early Termination fees when your line is assumed by another person. You do not have to wait until your contract expires. Your upgrade date will remain the same, however if you become a secondary line on the new account, you will loose your New Every Two discount.

Existing account owner requirements to complete assumption of liability:
1. Account balance must be current.
2. You will continue to be responsible for account charges until the transfer has been completed.

This must be completed prior to processing the Assumption of Liability.
5. Forward this Assumption of Liability email to the new assuming customer.

What Are My Data Options for Droid 2? What About Texts?

I'm looking over the available plans and I'm really confused.
I've had the same plan pretty much for the past 15 months but I started with a Blackberry. Now I have a Droid 2 and I REALLY need to find a way to shave off some money from this bill.
My bill is always $118 and change with never goes above $119.
I have 900 minutes, was gonna take it down to 450 but viewing my usage I have been around 431-445 the past 3 months. I also have $10 for texts which I hate, I thought there was a $5 text plan?
Insurance, yes, have to because I can't afford a landline and don't have a house to put it in anyway.
I tried to get out of my contract with Verizon when I first became really sick. They were having none of that. I have been sick since September 2010 (symptoms 3 years) and the doctors have been running tests to find out what's causing the problem.
The tricky part is I cannot work anymore, used up everything I had in savings, and even sold my car to have money to pay for medical bills. Now I'm stuck trying to get state health insurance and am without a place to live.
I don't have income from any source but a lot of debt.
I wish Verizon would work with me as even when I can't buy food, I make sure bills are paid because I need that phone on so I doctors can reach me.
I'm not sure how long I'll be unable to work and when I can not sure how long it will take to find work.
I asked them if they could take the Droid 2 back and let me have a regular phone with no data and they said "no, you'll have to pay full retail price for the phone". I believe that was over $500 (no mention of the $179.99 I paid for the broken Tours)
Now here is the back story which really **bleep** me off that they could have screwed me twice:
The only reason I have the Droid 2 is because when I upgraded after my 1st year with Verizon, I got a Blackberry Tour. That phone had so many problems I had to keep taking it in every month for a replacement. Verizon refused to exchange for a different Blackberry.
I even called RIM and they said they had "design" issues with the Tour and it's being taken off the market with the phone carriers, they said Verizon should be allowing you to get a replacement phone of same or lower cost (another Blackberry).
Well that never happened and I had to file an FCC complaint before corporate finally called to help me. I even told them the "NEW" Tour I paid for when I signed a new contract was refurbished because when I tried to send the info in for the rebate, I got an letter stating that particular phone already received it's rebate.
I should have stopped it right there, given them their used phone back and walked away but I'm thinking they are working with me and gave me the rebate ASAP, it will be OK.
WRONG!! 6 months into the contract with the **bleep**ty Tour not working and 6 replacements, they agree to give me another phone for $50. I said drop dead, no more money from me for your issue.
Then they said OK we'll give you a phone of the same value at no charge. So not knowing how the Bold was gonna work yet, I went with a Droid 2 as the Droid 1 had been out awhile and bugs worked out.
Now here is the real kicker in the whole story. After they mailed me the new Droid, I was online paying my bill and noticed Verizon re-set my contract start date from January 2010 to August 2010.
No one told me that and I couldn't get anyone to help fix that mess, they said you got a new phone, what else do you want?
What do you think happened about 2 months after I get the Droid 2?? Yes, Verizon changed the policy and replaced the Tours with the Blackberry Bold for no charge and no contract extension.
Had they told me that, I would have used my old Blackberry for 2 months and gotten the Bold and be closer to getting out of this stupid contract.
I don't know, they make it so hard for honest people who have hit hard times and dealt with bad phone after bad phone to just get a fair break.
I asked so what happens if I just want out of the contract and they said it would cost like $350. If I had $350 I wouldn't be typing this. I suppose I can fake my own death and get out of the contract that way. They make no concession for persons who become disabled and can no longer work. I don't know how long I'll be "disabled" or if I ever won't be "disabled" but I like to think things will get better.
Any ideads would be great. I did talk with someone at UCAN, they help people in CA get out of cell contracts when they have extrordinary circumstances and they gave me a number for a lady at Verizon.
I called that women for 4 months every single day, 4 times a day. She never answered her phone or called me back, ever!
So guess I work on becoming dead since that's my only option. I will never, ever, ever sign a cell contract as long as live, if I live.
I don't mean to sound like such a bitchy customer, I really feel I was screwed from the start of this contract and the screws keep coming!

Not sure why you posted this in the iPhone forum but sorry you're having such a difficult time. With that being said, unfortunately, VZW isn't obligated to assist you in difficult financial times although it would be great if they did. As far as you wanting to get into a non-smart phone to lessen your bill...you will have to look into alternative ways to obtain one if you want to avoid paying full retail. Do you have any friends with Verizon? Check and see if any of them have an old phone that they don't use. Lower your plan to less minutes and actively monitor your usage. Save non-essential personal calls until after 9:00 pm on weekdays if you're calling non-verizon customers. Even without a house phone it is not difficult to get by on a 450 min plan without going over your minutes. My mother did it for 5 years and never once went over her minutes nor did she have a landline phone to use. Text when possible to avoid using minutes. If you stay with the Droid then try to find texting apps or widgets that can help eliminate the need for a text plan. You can also check into services like Skype that can allow you to make free calls to other users...some of your friends may gladly subscribe to those services so that you can communicate and use less plan minutes. You should also talk to VZW to see what lower plan options you have.

My New Every 2 disappeared from VZW computers when they were correcting upgrade to replacement

I have been a long time Verizon customer who has had New Every 2 ever since I started about 10 years or so ago. I used to have the old Western States calling plan which I switched to Nationwide 450 min plan 2 years ago when I changed to a Smartphone.
I got my $100 New Every 2 discount fine on that phone. Now I hear it went down to $50. But mine has disappeared from Verizon records (except for notes) apparently as part of their mixup when I replaced the defective smartphone (HTC Touch Pro 2). It was approved about 8 mo into my contract, but I was having trouble deciding what to replace it with (plus I was sick for several months so my brain wasn't into thinking about that). Before the year was up, I called the VZW rep who had agreed to the replacement (it was working but the backlight wouldn't always come on--sometimes I had to keep pressing it multiple times, as well as other issues). I asked specifically if I had to do the replacement prior to the year being up. He said no, it had been agreed to so I didn't have to actually do it before the end of the year.
So I didn't. That led to multiple problems when I finally did replace it. Every step of the way, VZW was treating it as an upgrade rather than a replacement of the defective device. They kept wanting to start a new 2 yr contract, etc & I kept telling them, no it was a replacement. Wasted a lot of my time having to go over that each time I talked to a person. & finally, after i had adamantly refused to agree to a new 2 yr contract they said ok, but then I got a new 2 yr contract. Ok, another call & they backed that out.
But the upgrade date was Dec 2012 instead of 2011 as it should have been. Another call. Finally they fixed that, but in so doing, rather than restore back to the original contract, they had me on mo to mo starting at the time of the replacement. & somehow in all that, the New Every 2 discount disappeared from the contract.
So I am just now upgrading--just got my new iPhone 4S which I trust will actually be a reliable smart phone for a change--but since the New Every 2 wasn't in the computer but just in the notes, I wasn't given the discount on the price, but she did give me a credit for that amount.
OK, now i'm concerned about next time. Is New Every 2 still available for those who have had it long term?
& how can I get it back in my contract, rather than just in the notes, so next time I don't have to go through all this again?
my previous phone had been a basic flip phone which just worked so I kept it for about 5 yrs before upgrading to the smart phone. I intended to keep it for several years, not expecting to have such defective WinMob phones. The replacement was a downgrade with less features & it has freezes & the alarms (which I count on) don't work well. I know smart phones are more complicated, but still. With 2 yr contracts it would be nice to have devices that actually last & work well for 2 years rather than having to have 2 devices, both of which have had issues during the 2 yr contract.
I trust the iPhone 4S will not only be a very useful & fun phone, but also a reliable one for a change, that I will keep for a while. But I am concerned about the status of New Every 2.
& now, soon I'm off to get my new iPhone 4S set up & activated at the Apple store.

Thank you!
I actually just got off the phone with Verizon and thoroughly confused the Verizon Rep because he has never had that question asked before! He finally "tested" the new phone's activation status to see if the phone has been activated to my account, and he said it had (even though it is not actually associated with my number), and I can do what I want with the phone- store it, use it, let someone else use it, and not worry about the 30 day policy biting me in the b*tt with a huge charge of the phone's retail price!
Phew! I like it when it doesn't take weeks to get an answer (have had MANY hours on the phone with Verizon regarding diff. issues, and am always worried that problems and questions will take way too much time to answer).

Is APICS useful? What are my exit options after SAP ?

Hi,
I have completed my MBA and will be joining SAP as business process consultant in supply chain. As I will be doing SAP certifications in the company, I was thinking of doing APICS certifications (CPIM/CSCP), first I wanted to understand whether it would be a good idea to do the APICS certification i.e. would it actually have any value addition, second which one should I consider (CPIM or CSCP) and would be more helpful for me.
Also, is it that after joining SAP, I will be restricted to SAP related jobs, (i.e. ERP roles) or will I be able to switch to supply chain roles in Retail/FMCG sector and eventually move to strategy roles (management consulting). Though I know I would be learning implementation of SAP in multiple sector, I actually wanted to know my exit options.
I would be really glad if someone would help me better understand.
Thanks
Rohit

Re: change plan

i now have the 450 minute plan i want to know if i went with the 900 mins and added my girlfriends house number to the friends and family will it be free or will it take my mins

Since it'd be one of your friends and family numbers, calls to/from that number would be free. Keep in mind that once you add that number it takes 24 hours (or at least until the next day) before calls will start counting as F&F (it doesn't kick in immediately).

Changing Plan Mid-month "pro-rated" unclear and deceptive practice. C.S. offers no help

I recently found myself having to up my plan minutes for a family emergency. I went online and checked my usage I was at 394 minutes out of a 450 minute plan, so I elected to switch to the 900 plan minute for the month, ancipating I would go over in the next week. I was given options to back date it or start on that day, as I had clearly not gone over my alloted minutes, I chose to start it as of that day.
My Bill came and I received 69 dollars in minute overages. How was this explained, that by prorating the bill, they divide the cylcel in half, not only by "dollars" which seemed to be the explantion I received online, but by minutes. SO my minute alotment of 450 was reduced to 240 for those two weeks I oriignally had 450 minutes in. They billed as if that was my allowance therefore saying I now went over my plan by 154 minute which I was billed to the tune of 69.00 dollars, plus the addition of the monthly increase in plan.
My question to any logical rational intelligent person would be, why would someone choose to up there minute plan, before they went over, just to then be charged for minutes they would not have been had they not upped there plan to the next level. This defies common sense and any explanation would as well.
Customer service sadly would not even hear or understand this, only to say this is a valid "cost" and I should have read the "disclosure" statement or called if I had questions and not use online services. I asked both the operator and a supervisor for the terms of the disclosure agrement and neither could tell me what it said. However in reading billing question answers they respond "For example, if you changed rate plans during the middle of your billing cycle, your statement should contain a charge for the old rate plan (according to the number of days in your cycle that you were on the old rate plan) and the new rate plan. " yes that makes sense but no where does it say your minutes may be reduced up until this point and you may occur additional charges not already used. by ironically "increasing your minute plan".
I am waiting for a manager to return my call, As a long time customer of verizon whom have promoted them and the new iphone all over facebook and such to my friends I am very discouraged by this practice, and the lack of resolve.

Mike I appreciate that at least you are familiar with what the disclosure statement says, despite othert reps not being able to recite it. However the term "may" be in inself is Misleading, if "airtime" is prorated the statement should read "YOUR airtime MINUTES will be prorated and reduced to this point, possibly resulting in overages and additional charges" The wording is intentionally misleading. If it weren't MIke, why would anyone KNowingly select an option that would then cause them to owe an additional 69.00 dollars they didnt owe at the time, when UPPING their PLAN?
The fact that Customer Service Can't see that as a very real possiblity and just is dissmisive saying You should have read the disclosure statement., and it is a valid charge tells, me they run into this frequently and they have a script to read from to cover themselves, leaving the HUman Element out of the equation. It is sad enough I had to Up my plan only temporarily while dealing with a tragic family situation, to add insult to injury. To me the term "may" be prorated and "may" result in additional overages meant, that if I had gone over my minutes prior to the change I would be charged, because MIKE that is COMMON SENSE. and a REASONABLE person May think that. Cutomer Service Reps could at least acknowledge that as a very real Understanding of how that line could be interupted, and that a reasonable person would not otherwise increase their plan only to be charge for something they would not have otherwise been charged.
I am almost positive in the Future this wording will be Changed after the continued Myriad of complaints. From what I already understand the new "changing minutes and not plan" option already has changed it. SO why not make things right for long time loyal customers now. I actually want to reduce my plan back down now as it was a temporary emergency however I DONT dare do it mid month again, SO I will wait another 2 weeks and pay even more.
This is NOT ME and my misunderstanding, just googling the topic comes up with tons and tons of complaints, articles written on the topic and so fourth. I have been waiting days for someone as promised to call me back as well and that hasnt happened. I have talked to so many friends about this many verizon customers and all say this can't be right, because it DOESNT MAKE SENSE, despite it being "valid" as you say.

Can I change the amount of minutes on a single line plan?

I currently have unlimited minutes on a single line plan, but I hardly use my phone to make calls. I'm trying to lower my bill by reducing the number of minutes I have but I don't see an option to change my minutes in my account. It just gives me an option to change the amount of data I have.

I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate. I still have an old Nationwide min plan and when I log on to My Verizon I can still upgrade or downgrade my mins plan with one of the old Nationwide plans. Unless I'm misunderstanding the topic...

Overage Fees - Upgrade Plan and then change back for only $20 - and no change to contract?

I am on the Nationwide 700 minute family plan with two lines and finally on a month to month contract. Just saw on my account that I am over my allowance by 67 minutes ($30.15) and I still have five days until my billing cycle ends.
I called VzWireless and the lady on the phone said that there is a way to minimize the overage expense this one time. According to her, if I "upgrade" my voice plan to the 1400 minute plan before the 21st of the month I will end up not having to pay any overage fees on the peak hours (at least $30 as of writing this with five days to go) and would only have to pay the difference in plans which works out to be an extra $20. She also said she could "future date" an order to move my plan back to my normal 700 minutes after the bill is issued on the 21st so that I would not have to maintain the more expensive plan.
Frankly, this sounds too good to be true - I mean why wouldn't every Tom, Dick, and Harry that goes over on their minutes do this then? Maybe I am the only person who has not figured this out? The whole reason I am over on minutes this month is because I got caught in a Directv/U-Verse teaser scam and had to call each company's customer support lines and ended up on hold for hours! Needless to say I am skeptical...
Is there any merit to this? Is it true that I can change my plan without renewing to another two year contract? Are there hidden fees? Can I trust Verizon?

Yes, this is true.
You can change your plan to the 1400 minute plan prior to the end of your billing cycle. Just make sure that this change is "backdated" to the beginning of the billing cycle you are currently in, so that you have those 1400 minutes available to you for this entire cycle. You will then not go over your allowance.
After your current billing cycle ends, you can change your minute plan back to the 700 min plan.
I don't know if I would want the CS rep to do both changes at the same time, as this leads to more likely of a mixup which may impact you in a negative way. Might be better to do one at a time.
Edit: This practice has been around for awhile. Unlike you, several people who have this service pointed out just like to complain that Verizon should just do this without being asked so that they would never incur overages. Those same people would then just complain that their bill increased without them giving permission to increase their minute allowance.

I was charged for overage minutes after I was told upgrading to a next higher plan would not.

During the month of January, I was about to go over on my minutes and I called Customer Service. A representative told me my best option was to upgrade to the next higher plan and pay the difference rather than getting charged for the overage minutes. I did exactly that.
On my February bill, I was charged the overage minutes. While on vacation, I called Verizon again and a representative told me I was right in what I was told by the other representative. She filed a request to have the charges removed, and it was later denied. I pleaded my case again and how the first representative told me to do exactly that. Once again, denied. I had to settle for a lousy 25% off the charges after talking them up from 10%.
I feel cheated and scammed after I was told what to do and later comes back and bites me. HELP!

I had the 1400 minute plan and upgraded to the 2000 minute plan. The bill clearly shows the 1400 min plan being taken off and charged 2000min plan from the beginning of the billing period.

Suggestion to bring back lower minute plans

I normally use 20-80 minutes a month on the 450 minute plan (weighted toward the lower end). It's quite excessive for my needs and Ive seen more than a few (albeit older) posts from customers just withing the past hour looking through the forums with the same feeling. I'm currently unemployed and back in school, so money's tight. I am rather happy with the quality of service I receive and hear negative things about other carriers in my area, so I am hesitant to leave Verizon. I just reupped my contract, which I was hoping to downgrade my minutes plan (I'd set it artificially high for the unlimited texting a few years ago) and saw that the lower minute plans are gone. I'd heard from my local rep that this was done to be competitive, but it seems more logical that a provider would be more competitive with more options, not less. It just seems removing the lower plans was really done to increase profits.
So if you think they should increase their options for customer please comment. If you disagree, please give an alternative if you feel you have to say anything. I'm quite used to forums from World of Warcraft and Rift, so I'll likely disregard anything that's unsupported/troll-like.
Thank you.

There's always prepaid

Seeking a better (more cost effective) family plan

We currently have 5 lines on the Nationwide Talk & Text Share 700 (mins) plan, which costs $80/month, plus $10 (x 5) for each line. Three of the phones have a $30/month charge for (2gb each) data plan. So after taxes I am paying over $240/month for wireless phone services.
Would prefer to share a pool of data (i.e. 10GB for 4-5 phones), don't need to upgrade yearly, but don't want to pay significantly more than I am already paying, even if I replace one or both of the remaining basic phones with smart phones.
Have discussed exactly this with multiple reps at the local VZW stores, but they seem to have nothing to offer other than switching to "Edge" (more money, and I get to pay forever for the phones), or paying an additional $30/month (each) to swap either/both basic phones for smart phones.
Surely there must be something which competes with the AT&T Mobile Share Value Plan, which seems to offer exactly what I want (10GB of data to share between up to 5 phones). Can anyone suggest a Verizon plan that makes as much sense?

http://www.T-Mobile.com
They have a new plan of 4 devices with unlimited talk and texting and 10GB of data (2.5 GB per line of 4G LTE data) for $100 plus taxes and surcharges. So it is not for 5 lines sorry.
But you pay $38 per device for activation and you need all new devices under the EIP program so add another $100 a month for the four devices ($25x4=$100)
So its $100+$100+$154(activation fees) $354 and taxes and surcharges. So the cost is high when you first switch. Then $200 a month until the phones are paid off (24 months)
You will then pay just around $110 a month there after.
The good news is if you go over that 2.5 GB of data it just gets throttled and no further charges for what is over.
The bad news, well T-Mobile has lousy coverage outside of major cities. So if you travel outside your home even on a highway or back road you get zip coverage. And Sprint is no better maybe worse coverage and speed wise.
Big decision to make
Good Luck

Change in plan

I am a new Verizon customer as of 3/18. I started with the single talk plan for 450 minutes. If I upgrade to the family plan now, will I lose the minutes that I have left?

Change your plan and ask for the change to be backdated. It will be like you never had the 450 minute plan but the family plan all along.
Otherwise you may end up with overages due to proration of the two plans.

Why is importing raw as dng so very slow? 3 min a frame

I have a canon 5d mark II, 4Gb compactflash card ultra II en extreme III
Importing them by usb 2,0 reader to lightroom 2.6 on apple G5, 2,3 Ghz, 2,5 Gb DDR2 SDRAM. At the same time converting them to DNG and making a back-up to a other computer in the network.
Importing time about 3 minutes a frame, so for about 150 pivtures on a 4 GB card 150 x 3 min = 450 min = 7 1/2 hour.
Is this normal ?? Or what do I wrong?

Do not believe you are doing any thing wrong. Several things could cause the slow process you are experiencing. I think the copy to another computer on a network is the main contributor.
My preferred method would be to copy from the CF card direct to a folder on your HDD using a card reader (not directly from the camera). Then import into lightroom, converting to dng. Last do the back up of the dng files to the network computer using your OS tools.

450 min plan?
