Being told one thing online, then told I was misinformed on the phone...

I've been a loyal Verizon Customer for over ten years.  I lost my phone recently, so I need a new one & was eligible for an upgrade.  I went online & noticed that when I selected new phones unlimited data was no longer included & the new plans would include 2GB of data for $10 more than I was paying for unlimited.  So I chatted online with a customer service rep. & was told just to select a new phone & if the plan changed I could call customer service to get it reverted back.  I ordered my new phone last night & called today to get my plan changed.  I was told I was misinformed by online customer service & telephone customer service could not do what I was told.  This is not my problem, as I've screen shotted the conversation I had with Tonya online (see above).  Currently, I've cancelled my order for a new phone.  As a manager at a hotel I'm well versed in customer service.  If a staff member of mine misinforms a client, I either honor what was said regardless or do something to make it up to them.  Your telephone support staff did neither.  While pleasant & certainly keeping the bottom line of the company in mind, they weren't able to resolve this issue either by doing what was promised, nor by making it up to me for being "misinformed" by one of their co workers.  That is terrible customer service.  If a genuine attempt is not made to resolve this to my satisfaction, I will be going with another provider.  I've been mostly happy with your service, but if that's your idea of customer service I think I'll be better off elsewhere.

I think you have 14 days to "undo" changes you have made to your account.  If you're beyond the 14 days, you're probably stuck for 2 years.  Of course, adding a hot spot modem is going to have a monthly fee associated with it.  It's too bad you didn't understand that.  Evidently, you switched your plan to the Share Everything plan.  That plan cost $40 per month for smartphones and $30 per month for basic phones plus your data plan.  Data is $50 for 1GB, $60 for 2GB, $70 for 4GB, $80 for 6GB, etc.  You could have simply stayed on the plan you were on and switched your unlimited data to a tiered data plan of 2GB for $30.  Or, you could have paid full retail price for a new phone and kept unlimited data.  At this point, there isn't much you can do short of paying a large ETF to cancel your contract.  It seems like some sales people are not forthcoming with this information unless you ask.  Otherwise, some of them will simply make changes to your account and ask you to sign the contract.  Many people sign the contract without reading what they are signing.

    Keynote 6 is compatible with Mavericks only, your profile states you are using Snow Leopard, if thats the case use Keynote version 5 and all will work as before.

    Currently using Photoshop CS5, but with a replacement computer and upgrade to Yosemite, keep being told I need to install the legacy Java 6. Currently, Photoshop won't even open. I absolutely do not want to subscribe, don't want to mess with the cloud, just want to buy an upgrade to something that will run for a while longer. I don't care about Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator, etc.; most of those I've deleted over the years. But I do use Photoshop - or would if it would still run. What options do I have?

    This is the java you need for photoshop cs5 to work on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite
    https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
    It's also possible you may have to reinstall photoshop cs5 even after installing the above java, because sometimes the upgrade to mac os x 10.10 messes up the photoshop cs5 installation.
    You can download photoshop cs5 from here if you don't already have the install media.

  • How do I restore my passcode (not password) in my iphone5s. It's the one that is asked whenever you have to unlock the phone. I got used to having my thumb mark open it that I forgot it after my phone got recharged after it drained out.

    how do I get my passcode (not password) in my iphone5s sent to me via email. It's the one that is asked whenever you have to unlock the phone. I got used to having my thumb mark open it that I forgot it after my phone got recharged after it drained out. Apparently, the fingerprint won't do after the phone was drained and recharged again. The passcode has to be typed in. I don't usually allow my phone to drain out except this one time on a long trip. Hence I forgot my passcode and I prefer it being sent to me via my registered email. I know that if you enter it several times, the phone gets locked out over certain periods from 1 minute to 60 minutes so I don't want to take that risk. Any suggestions?

    First, this is a user-to-user technical support forum, not a way to communicate with Apple.
    That aside, no one can email your passcode to you because no one (not even Apple) knows it. The passcode exists in only one place - on the phone. You will have to restore the phone using the computer that you regularly sync it to. This will reinstall iOS, remove the passcode, and restore your most recent backup.
    Edit:
    See: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode for more details

  • Help! When I try to download music from iCloud onto new iPhone it appears to go through the downloading process but then does not show up on the phone. Where am I going wrong?

    Have gone onto iTunes and selected purchased music. Then clicked on download all... It then appears to be going through the correct process but then music does not store on the phone. What am I doing wrong?

    Nothing you doing wrong, there is just not enough space on your phone.

    I I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?

    A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

  • When Im On Facebook, In Frontierville, I Can Post One Thing But Then When I Try To Post A Second Thing , Firefox Crashes. Its Been Happening For 2 Weeks Now Its Quite Annoying

    I Can Post One Thing But It Crashes When I TRY To Post A Second Thin.

    @sanjampet: I have already read the link you provided and none of the solutions work, which is why I posted here.
    Safe mode just doesn't activate. I hold shift for as long as possible until eventually I get the prohibited symbol. When I hold shift I see the apple logo and loading icon and then eventually prohibited symbol, its as if I wasn't holding shift at all, which makes me wonder if the shortcut is even correct? And I know its not a problem with my keyboard or my timing of pushing shift because holding alt/option works as usual.
    Holding C to load from the installs disc doesn't work either, which eliminates all the solutions based on that. Its the same as safe mode - I hold the button until I eventually get prohibited symbol.
    I also tried selecting my Mac hd via holding alt key - same result: prohibited symbol.
    I also tried selecting my installs disc via holding alt key and a strange thing happens: I see the apple logo and loading wheel but this time it is stuck on the apple logo and loading spin thing for about 20 minutes while there is lots of noise and activity coming from the CD drive..
    I also tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM, which DID seem to have an affect (screen was brighter + startup sound was louder) but I still see the prohibited symbol like all the other times.
    I'm yet to be able to get past the prohibited symbol, the only way around it so far is to load the windows partition if my HD.

  • I unlocked a iPhone4 thru ATT, then installed a TMobile SIM. The phone works, but keeps dropping service.  Can I do a Restore with the TMobile SIM in it?

    I successfully unlocked an ATT iPhone4 with ATT SIM, then installed a TMobile SIM. After TMobile walked me thru some manual Setting changes, the phone works.  However, now it keeps dropping service.  Can I do a Restore with the TMobile SIM in it?

    Nope. It still switches between service, 'no service', 'searching', and then I get service for a while.  Very frustrating.  I live in a 2G area, which I thought might be the problem, but had it in a 3G area today and still lost service randomly. 
    I guess I will have to go to the TMoblile store and ask for another SIM. 
    Any other suggestions?
    They told me that if the phone was not a TMobile phone, they do not guarantee service.
    This is a Pay-As-You-Go plan.  Wondering if there is a compatibility issue with the iPhone hardware/firmware and the TMobile SIM?
    My old TMobile Samsung t249 with the same plan did not have this problem.

  • My iPhone just started switching its self on and off went to a green screen then off then on any ideas only have the phone 3 months

    My phone just started switching on and off the screen went green then went off then came back on any help please only have the phone 3 months

    If the Slide to Power Off option is coming up, that suggests your power button isn't working correctly and is sticking.
    Best thing to do is bring the phone to an Apple store (make an appointment first) and have a Genius take a look at it.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

    Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's  / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

    Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
    However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
    Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
    And the download an APP called caffiene...
    When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
    Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep

  • I tried to give feedback & I was told I was not using the latest version of Firefox. I upgraded, restarted my computer, then I got the same response. Therefore, I can't give feedback.

    Here's my feedback: Make it easier to make Firefox your default browser. I shouldn't have to use a help menu to figure this out.

    @sjpierce - I don't believe that this is a Firefox-specific issue, but it does sound like you have some sort of malware on your machine. What was this innocuous link that you clicked on? A lot of viruses and malware make their rounds on Facebook.
    Regardless, what I would do is this ( I assume you're running Windows):
    * Download the Free and awesome Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) via [http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/]
    * Next update MSE and do a full system scan to ensure you don't have any existing malware on your machine. If so, clean it off and reboot. Keep doing this until you come up clean.
    * Refer to this article on SUMO [[Profiles|Profiles]]
    * Delete your old Firefox profile, create a new one and launch Firefox 4 again using the new profile
    You should be back to normal at this point.
    If you are running an OS like Mac OS X or Linux, it's unlikely that you have malware and you should probably clean your Firefox profile and start over again.

  • Can anyone please tell me why when i put my music on shuffle it only plays a handful (that being 4 or 5)songs then stops even if its in the middle of a song, then wont let me play anything unless i exit Itunes completely and then re-open Itunes????

    Can anyone tell why my Itunes will only play 5 or 6 songs on shuffle then stop even in the middle of a song, and the only way to fix it is to exit Itunes completley and reopen it?????

    This is in regards to a 4th gen 40gb clickwheel ipod.
    Hi, i've also been having a very similar problem with my ipod as well. I find that regardless of which windows-based pc i use (either my xp laptop @ home, or my win2000 desktop @ work) windows and itunes refuses to recognise my ipod. In windows explorer it will show it as a removable drive, but if i click on it, windows freezes. If I try to disconnect it, I cant because windows keeps reporting that 'the device is being used, try disconnecting later' and so then i shut down my laptop to disconnect it safely.
    Lately, like you, i've also noticed that clicking sound it makes. It happens when i connect my ipod to my computer - like the drive inside it is constantly restarting or something, and i get it when i'm playing / charging it in my dock. I've also noticed that when it's playing whilst charging, it just freezes on a song, then skips a couple of songs.
    I've just discovered the disgnostic tools on my ipod, so i think i'll run a couple of tests (ie HDD scan) and depending on the outcome, i'll go visit the apple store.

  • The 16G IPOD catalog entry should have in bold THIS THING HAS ONLY ONE CAMERA.  I bought one for my dad thinking it was same as the last one i bought.  my fault, but also theirs.

    I just ordered a new 16G iPod touch for my dad.  the bigger models said they had an hd camera, so i assumed this one did not BUT AT LEAST HAD A REAR FACING CAMERA.
    So it arrives and he says it only has one camera and I say of course it has two cameras.
    it turns out just a front-facing camera (so i guess thats what Facetime camera meant).
    so now he wants to return it
    be careful ordering. my fault, but also theirs.  it's like selling a car without a windshield.  their should be a giant sign that says, this thing has only one windshield

    Disagree for three reasons:
    1) this is a KEY feature that was removed from prior models.  removing something that cutomers depend upon requires more than burying in a cryptic spec.
    2) even spec does not use clear generic terms like "front-facing camera" "rear-facing camera" or "has one camera" - instead it used Apple-terms like Facetime camera and isite camera, which on a casual glance appears like just upgrade/downgrade camera version.  16g model says facetime camera, and cell next to it it says isite camera (instead of also showing both models have facetime camera on the same row) and that's not a proper comparison grid, comparing  apples to apples, so to speak...
    3) you presume every person that orders finds this page (which i contend is not clear).  i don't want to spend an hour learning what apple-jargon translates to "this model has only  one camera"
    No reply needed.  Just posting for awareness.  I am guessing there will be more dissatisfaction and returns for this product, so just giving you feedback.

  • Why when I preordered the new Iphone was the tax estimated at plus minus $55 it sould have been about $18. I was told it was based on the full $649 value of the phone, but that's not right. Sales tax is on the purchase price.

    Why when I recently preordered the new $199 I phone was the sales tax estimated at +- $55? It should have been +- $18. The supervisor said the tax was on the $649 value, but that's not right as sales tax is charged on the sales amount. What is this charge for?

    Complain to your elected officials, they're the one's that write the tax code. I know that in CA and RI, sales tax is collected on the unbundled price(full) of not just the iPhone, but any cell phone.
