After 23 years as a VZW customer, VZW won't offer any incentive if I upgraded and commited to another two years.  Time to say good-bye.

When you complete your current contract, Verizon has options on which incentives you would like to take.
You can sign a new 2 yr service contract by purchasing a new phone at a considerable discount(~$400+).
You can also choose to purchase a new smartphone on Edge at full retail cost for which Verizon will give you either a 37.5% or a 62.5% discount(depending on your data allowance) on your monthly line access fee when on the More Everything plan.
If you choose to simply continue using your current phone on the More Everything plan, Verizon ALSO offers the same 37.5%/62.5% discount(depending on your data allowance) on your monthly line access fee.
Of course, as with anything else, there are some which always want more of a discount than what is offered.
Hopefully, after you get used to the rates with your new provider, you won't then want MORE which they likely won't be willing to give you.
Good luck with the new provider.

    Hi Timothy,
    The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
    Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.

  • Does Verizon offer any incentives if you bring them a new customer?

    I think I have convinced my sister to switch from AT&T to Verizon.  Will Verizon offer me any incentives, e.g., a greater discount on my upgrade for referring her to them as a new customer?
    I am due for an upgrade on October 24, 2011 and I would like to upgrade from a Blackberry to a Droid Bionic and I was hoping Verizon might discount the Bionic for me if I refer my sister to them. 
    Or would it be better just to add her as a family member?  Ironically, if she signs a two year contract as a new customer, she can get the Bionic for $149.00 at AmazonWireless.com, whereas if I upgrade as an existing customer, I will pay $219.00. One would think Verizon would be more generous to their loyal customers, as I have been with them for over five years.  Any advice? Thank you!

    If you are saying the you receive a bigger discount through AmazonWireless for being a new customer rather than a renewing customer with Verizon, then it is AmazonWireless and not Verizon that is being more generous.
    If you are purchasing the phone through Verizon, the cost of the phone would be the same, regardless if you are a new customer or a renewing customer.

  • TS1398 After updating to iOS 7 my iphone 5 won't show any wifi networks or connect to any wifi even after resetting the network connections. HELP!

    After updating my iphone 5 to iOS 7 my phone won't show any wifi networks or connect to any. I reset the network connections and still nothing.

    should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer

  • After latest update a few minutes ago, Firefox won't open any web pages.

    I was on a local web page run by a local server on my intranet. Firefox was not open. I opened it (the last time it worked successfully was a few hours ago). It did an update.

  • Fios Extreme HD Bundle AFTER 1 Year

    I am thinking about purchasing the Verizon Fios Extreme HD Bundle this week, but want to know one thing if someone could help me out. The price for the bundle is $104.99/month without the receiver fees. It says regular price is $124.99/month without receiver fees. What I'm asking is, after the first year, will it be $124.99/month or will it stay at the $104.99/month for the first two years? Thanks

    At least from my location it states 104.99/month guaranteed for two years, regular price 124.99. They should just drop the regular price unless that is for existing customers, which I think it is. The unbundled price is considerably more. So if you are a new customer it is 104.99/month. I do not work for Verizon, and this being a peer to peer forum, only Verizon could answer that question. It used to be that if you committed to another two years you would get the discount, and that seemed to change at some point for existing customers. Wish it would be for everyone.
    Until I believe this week, the 104.99 was only for the first year, and they have changed that so it is for two years regarding new customers. I guess they wanted it to be more attractive. Now what it was a year ago was 1year commitment and two year guarantee, and the newer deal was not as attractive, so it was changed to two years for the price. As an existing customer I believe I would pay $124.99, but my second years is up in November, so for now I am staying put with my 20/5 and Extreme. Unless I decide to drop voice, which is highly probable.

  • FUnction Module to Calculate future date after 'x' years

  • My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites. It sends me back to my home page after I have only been on the site a few minutes. How can I fix this?

    My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites for more than a few minutes . It closes the site and takes me back to home screen. Why and how do I fix this?

    For Safari you could try clearing its cache and history via Settings > Safari.
    For Safari and your other apps you could close them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • After installing FF 6.02 on Windows 7, the icon does not appear on the desktop and the program does not appear in the All Programs menu

    I just received a new laptop running windows 7 home premium and wanted to install Firefox on it. I tried to install the most recent version. When i installed 6.0.2, the icon did not appear on my desktop (it was a hidden file in my desktop folder) and the program group does not appear in the start menu's All Programs list. The program *does* run though, at least it did a few times. This happened whether i installed as administrator or not. Installing firefox 3.6.22, though, DID create the program group and desktop icon, and upgrading from there removed them again. installing other programs (e.g. vlc, trillian, etc.) did not cause this behavior. I also tried this both with and without McAfee's realtime protection running.

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

    I have an iphone4 and that I have had for four years and they are saying that I am not eligible for an upgrade until the end of July 2015. That is four years and 3 months after I purchased this phone. "Customer service" said I had an upgrade at the end of July 2013, which I did not. She said that in the system my husband took an upgrade July 29th 2013. He didn't even have a Verizon phone, he had a work phone with T-mobile. I have asked what device he supposedly upgraded to since no phones have been activated and we all still have our same phones and numbers. Remember at the time, said husband had a work phone with T-mobile. I still have the very same phone as do all of the rest of my family members. No one has upgraded. I spoke with "customer service" for more than a half an hour today, Char promised me that her supervisor (Emily) would call me back by 7:30 tonight to clear up this problem. Well guess what? No call back so where should I go from here? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

    someone swapped upgrades.  Phone could have been sold For quick cash. 

  • Customer Support Nightmare - Cannot believe it after 10 years of service

    TO VERIZON:
    This is my fourth contact to you to make a simple plan change, at least the first person on the phone told me would be simple.  Here is a summery of what I sent via your webpage.  Please tell me who can really help me and not tell me that it was done and do nothing or promise me a return call to disappear from the face of the earth.
    I have been a customer for 10 years and believe I am finished. I have spent 7 (9 now including this morning) hours trying to resolve an issue. Your representative stated they could lower my bill but due to circumstances I had to go to the store to do it. They said they would put specific notes on my account so we didn't have to spend another two hours working it out. t went to the store and spent 4 hours there with another representative who couldn't seem to figure this out until I said "forget it, I would just go to Sprint.  (That was why I called the above representative in the first place as I had already done an application and was attempting to transfer my number) Suddenly it became possible to do what the first representative stated would be easy. Another Customer witnessed the entire event. I can give you her contact info. Then I found out yesterday that after all this, they did not even bother to make the changes to my plan. They gave me "yes yes lip service" and did nothing.  I was at the store for a total of 4.5 hours.
    Yesterday I contacted you again by phone(after realizing online that my plan had not been changed), a representative named Dylan said he, was going to call the store and call me back. He said they would definitely get this taken care of. It is now 8am the next day and no one has contacted me. There is clearly no one in your company that can follow through. I have already applied to both Sprint and T-Moblie and while I hate to do it. I am furious. I will be trying to make a decision today. I am so angry, I do not know if I want to stay even if they change my lines. This should be so simple, it is a change to my plan and I have wasted a day of my life and raised my blood pressure because every seems completely incompetent. At the very least, even if I leave, I want you to know why. I want a lot of people to know why.

    Julie, I have no idea what type of plan changes you are referring to but you can change your plan at anytime at http://www.verizonwireless.com under your account, under the device shown etc.
    In very rare cases you will get a system message saying the transaction could not be done and to call 800-922-0204 to speak to a customer service representative. Again I have never had this issue.
    If I read your missive correctly you have applied to what? There is no application to leave and port out your service to T-Mobile or Sprint or even AT&amp;T.
    All that is needed is your full account number off your billing invoice or from the My Account screen at the web portal.
    You give that and your Verizon account password which normally is the last four digits of your social security number.
    It can take the other provider 20 minutes or 24 hours. Once done it cancels the line account at Verizon wireless.
    If you are feeling unhappy and agitated it is always best to wait an hour or longer to compose yourself and either port out or continue with other methods to get what is necessary done.
    Good Luck

  • Screwed after 7 years

    Almost two years ago I upgraded my phone to the Iphone 5, and my service to a plan that cost almost double what it ever had.  I wasn't complaining. In fact I was very happy.  About a year into the contract my phone got stolen while on vacation.  I went with apple care and they didn't help me one bit.  I almost expected it after finding out more about apple's business practices in that year.  That's neither here nor there.  While on vacation I bought a VZW prepaid phone to use on the service as a temporary fix.  After I paid for it VZW tells me that the phone has to be active for 6 months before I could do something like that.  I tried to be understanding and I paid for a month so I had a lifeline on the road home.  After getting back I reconnected my previous phone (which had issues. hence the upgrade)  Soon after the phone became almost unusable and my contract was four and a half months from being up.  I talked to a few people who are with one of vzw's top competitors and they had gotten early upgrades in situations like mine.  I called vzw and was told the best they could do, since the phone was still working enough to use it at all, was 30 days before the upgrade date.  I figured it was there for emergencies and i'd have to wait it out.  my phone completely stopped working within a month.  I'm now about 60 days out.  I just got off the phone with what I assume is a third party call center (with a rep that told me that she wouldn't talk to her superior)(and didn't care if I stayed a customer at all) where I was basically told that I can pay full price for a phone, pay for a service I can't use, or pay the disconnect fee.  Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like it really wouldn't be a big deal to make an exception for a customer of 7 years.  I have not had a  phone for months and I've been patient.  If Verizon doesn't need my business, they won't have to worry about it.  When my contract is up I'm switching to AT&T.  As silly as it may sound, that big corporation appreciates it's customers.  Verizon does not.  Not only am I leaving but my entire family (brothers, sister, aunts, uncles, and cousins) have all started looking at at&t family plans.  I'd recommend to anyone that doesn't have to money to pay list price for a ****** phone if an accident happens, to switch now before you get screwed. 
    Goodbye Verizon! I wish I could say it was nice doing business with you but you are what's wrong with businesses today.

    With THAT many people(9 at least) who you have sway over to make a switch to another provider, you would think there would be at least ONE person with an old phone you could use until your upgrade date. Sounds kind of unbelievable if it is not the case. I know I have personally given/loaned many of my old phones to friends/family who have broken/lost their phone when they either didn't want to upgrade or weren't eligible, NONE of which could persuade me to switch if I was happy with my service. Since you appear to have so much influence with those people, it would seem they would be willing to loan you one of their old phones.

  • Security Deposit Refund after one year

    I have paid every phone bill for the past 11 months and I am wondering when I am eligible to have my security deposit returned. I have had no luck with other inquiries I have made regarding this deposit in the past.

        Hi Brandon,
    I appreciate your inquiry about the security deposit. In order to be eligible to receive a security deposit refund in full, the account must meet several criteria:
      • 350 days of active service (the 350 days begins from the point of activation, not from the time the security deposit is applied to the account).
      • No suspensions due to non-payment.
      • 12 consecutive months of timely, uninterrupted service.
      • No payments returned from bank
    Account balance current (no more than 30 days past due).
      • No related account delinquent or written off requiring payment.
    If the account remains active after one year of service, the security deposit will be automatically refunded within 1 - 2 billing cycles.

  • After 13 years, can no longer recommend HP - Chronic MB problems on dv6t-7000 unheeded by HP support

    I couldn't find anywhere else to voice this - my dv6t-7000 is just out of warranty and thus I don't qualify for email support. I have spent the past year in a back and forth battle with HP customer support and am finally calling it quits after 13 years of exclusively buying from them and recommending them to less tech-savvy friends and family.
    I ordered this laptop around July 2012, eager to check out the benefits of Seagate's new 2nd-gen hybrid drives. Laptop arrived and was blazing fast, but starting getting some STOP errors (blue screens) pretty soon. Because this was coupled with hard drive errors, I didn't bother to dig too much into the problem and instead contacted HP, who (very quickly) shipped me a service box. I send them my laptop and get it back a couple of weeks later, but can't figure out what they changed (I later found out they just reflashed the BIOS).
    Sure enough, I start getting the same errors again. Contact HP a second time and they recommend a replacement hard drive. Swapped the drives out and started fresh, but within a couple of weeks, the same errors popped up on the new drive. At some point around here, I was told I was being moved up to a Tier 2 support level, which didn't seem to make a difference in how much (or little) support seemed to pay attention to my own observations of the problem. Their process came across as (1) determine if support is needed and warranted (2) ship out prepaid service box (3) let the service department start from scratch to diagnose the issue. 
    I ended up sending the laptop to HP a third time, after clarifying the issue with the support reps I spoke with and giving them detailed instructions of the problems I had been observing, which seemed to point to a faulty hard drive cable or a related issue with the motherboard itself. The rep was very friendly and promised to relay this information to support before they got their hands on my laptop. Sent it in and again - no difference except a freshly installed operating system.
    Before this third service call, I had freshly installed Windows 8, and if anything, the problem had gotten worse. I had run memtest with no errors on either sticks, ran SeaTools DOS with unspecified corruption errors, cleaned out the insides with compressed air, reinstalled WIndows 8 twice from scratch, ran dskchk and SFC countless times with unrepairable errors, run DISM a couple of times unsuccessfully, swapped out the CMOS battery, and was still basically experiencing a stop error every 1-2 days. I reinstalled Win8 after receiving my laptop back for the third time, and continued to have these problems. At this point I gave up trying to send it in to HP, because school was getting in the way of my ability to be without a laptop for 2 weeks at a time.
    Currently, I cannot install Windows 8.1 and still experience KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR and CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED stop errors every 2-3 hours. I had one while writing this post, so hopefully I haven't forgotten to include anything. I don't mean to lay all of the blame on HP, but I don't like not having my input listened to or considered. It seems counterintuitive to me - this process could have taken 2 weeks to resolve instead of multiple months to fail and lose a customer in the process. 
    I bought HP knowing fully well that I was paying for high-end parts and not necessarily build quality. That's never been a problem in 13 years of buying laptops and PCs from them, as well as recommending them to friends and family - we know how to take proper care of expensive technology. But I'm realizing now that when you do get a dud, HP support seems to do everything in its power not to have to replace your laptop even when it's warranted. I will use this laptop until it can no longer function (hopefully a couple of months at least) and then consider another company for the first time in a long time. On the desktop end - well, I've been meaning to build a PC for a while now. 

    I have forwarded your post to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via Private Message on this forum.
