Activation Problems with new Razor

My original razor is worn out and limping on it's broke leg and my last nerve. I bought a Motorola K1m KRZR off eBay to activate while I'm still under my upgrade time.
I went to the Verizon wireless web site, logged in, put the new phones ESN in and it accepted the info. Turned old one off and new one on and dialed *228. Nothing, nothing, nothing but failures to activate. Called 800-992-0204 only it's after 11 so, nothing but voice prompts telling me to do the same thing the web site told me to do. So, I went back to the web site and this time instead of the ESN I put the MEID. The web form looks like it want's both with a / between them but there isn't enough characters in the form to fit it all. So I submitted only the MEID. Same results. Web site accepted the number and said turn the old one off and active new phone with *228. Nothing, nothing, nothing but more failures to activate.
Has any else had this problem during activation? If so, what did you do? Wait to talk to a Rep. during normal business hours? They should have a tech team there 24/7. Of course if they did that I'd be talking to someone in India who I can't understand. I can fake a great Indian accent but I can't understand one.
Help.

Hi,
One possibility could be that the phone is on a Lost/Stolen list, or a NonPay list, this would prevent the activation from completing. This can happen especially when buying from a third party. 
Usually when you see both an ESN and MEID you'll want to use the MEID. Only enter in the numbers, no extra symbols. So it sounds like you definitely did it correctly. It's most likely something in the billing system that's preventing it. 
Do you have any pending orders for a plan or feature change? 
When calling *228 do you maintain at least 2-4 bars of signal?
Otherwise, you can call Tech support, but they usually don't change phones unless it's an emergency. I guess it would vary by case. And you would most certainly NOT speak to anyone in India. VZW does not outsource their calls outside of the country. You may get someone of a different ethnicity, but they won't be outside the country. =)
Good luck!

  • Problems with new catalyst

    I Have a problem with newer catalyst version 4.7 and 4.8..sometimes the screen goes totally black,it's like the montitor goes into sleep mode or screensaver.
    This can happen at startup or after while the only thing i can do is to restart the computer by turning it off(or reset).
    With cat 4.6 and the drivers before everything works fine.
    I tried fastwrites on/off(no good)
    Disable Vpu recover(no good)
    Raise agp voltage to 1.6V(no good)
    I also tried asus own driver but the same thing happens.
    However i came to think of if there is anything i should change in power managment in bios because the comp won't wake up from sleep mode when pushing on the keyboard or moving the mouse(this is with cat 4.6 wich works great otherwise)
    I hope someone have an answer to my mysterious problem

    At this point, I'm loathing my decision to mess with my vid drivers at all, and wondering how come the vid card has started to lock up in 3d..  I start messing with all sorts of settings.. Finally, tuning the AGP speed from 8X to 4X totally resolved the freezes.
    QUESTION: WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN DID 8X AGP STOP WORKING???
    AMD 64 3200+
    K8T-NEO
    Antec 430W PSU
    ATI RADEON 9600 PRO AGP
    SB LIVE
    1GB CORSAIR C2 DDR (2x512)
    Lite-ON DVD/CD+RW
    Windows XP SP2
    I have never got my 8x AGP to work, its always hard locks when I use it...dunno why I don't really care. When I upgrade to a pure 8x AGP card i might if it still happens. Actually if it continues to happen there is a good chance I will get rid of this board and get the nforce probable. But at any rate, setting AGP to 4x has always fixed every video card problem I have had since putting this computer together. So try that I suspect it will fix your problem as well.
    Also note that we have very similar setup's so try it and let us know if that works out for you.

  • Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

  • List of Problems with new Web Mail

    List of Problems with NEW Web Mail :
    - At first doesn't open full page message list or retain full page as default setting, have to drag down bar
    - Only shows 20 message lines after “pulling down” the divider, screen partially empty until I scroll down.  It should show at least 26, preferably all available
    - After moving bar, bar moves back up after going back to inbox (not delete message) after reading a message, have to move it down again, and again...
    - Doesn't go to next message when delete message on screen is selected, no setting option for default to do this.
    - There is a drop down to select which folder to move a selected email to.  The initial display shows 7 usable choices, with the usual slider and arrow to show more choices.  The space on the slider clearly shows more choices are present (actually about 20 or so are there), but any attempt to use the slider or arrow to see more choices causes the drop-down to instantly disappear.  I can't move the selected field with arrow keys either.  I can select any of the visible 7 choices, and move an email to only one of the 7.  NOTE: This one works in both IE and Firefox, but if Verizon Webmail was fully web standard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards) compliant it would also work in my preferred browser, Mozilla Seamonkey, the direct descendant of the original Mozilla browser.  Webmail should be FULLY web standard.
    - Occasionally a message will move from inbox to trash, without NO indication or command to move them.
    - Emails occasionally flash an error message and simply disappear - not to trash or other findable place, just disappear.  No time to read the error message either.
    - No way to set a whitelist for supposed spam emails, unless the whitelist for “Blocking” is the same.  Very unclear.
    - How can I switch my service back to the original, basic, email which works ok?  I know it’s still there, since some of my other accounts still access it!!!
    This seems my only way of getting this info direclty to the programming staff.  If it doesn't actually do this, will SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THEM !?!  
    Thanks!

    Contrarily, it is Verizon's, as well as other companies like Verizon whose customer base uses a wide variety of web browsers, web page designers' responsibility to use only standard W3C-recognized code and not to use non-standard non-W3C-recognized code, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer specific code, when designing their web pages. In my opinion based on my observations, Verizon's web page designers are too often guilty of using IE-specific code.

  • Before I buy has there been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Before I spend my hard earned cash does anyone know if there has been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Hello richard from Folsom:
    Are you inside or outside?  (  I could not resist, I lived in Sactown).
    Anyway, advice is frequently worth what you pay for it, and mine is free.
    If you want it, buy it.  The posts above are right on the mark (except waiting is probably overly-cautious).  The best advice (from anamusic) is to buy the extended warranty - well worth the money.

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

  • Premiere Elements 13 , Problems with new text/titles

    Premiere Elements 13, bisher keine Probleme. Nachdem die Filmlänge etwa 15 Minuten beträgt immer größere Probleme Titel/texte einzugeben. Wartezeiten sind extrem lange oder Programm stürzt ganz ab.

    High ATR,
    Computer running on Widows 7 ,64 Bit System, Service Pack 1, Processor AMD Phenom(tm) X4 945 3.00 Ghz;RAM 8 GB
    Grafikkarte: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    If the video on the timeline is longer than 10 minutes the problem will be remarkable. The response times adding a title is getting longer(2-15 seconds).
    As the video is now 18 minutes the response time is after each action(resizing of letters or any changes of the text) up to 30 seconds or the program crashes completely.
    Project settings are the following:
    General HD 1080i; 29,97frames/second; Video:1920v 1080 H, 30 fps
    Video: maximale Bittiefe, Dateiformat i-frame only mpeg, Kompressor MPRG i-Frame, Standbilder optimieren
    The video is a mixture  of full HD videos 1920x 1080 .mov and pictures up to 4608x3456 pixels.
    When the program crashes I remarked that the main memory RAM(8Gb) was fully used by the premiere program. Might there be a problem?
    Thank you for your service.
