Can't add mobile alerts to another account on my plan

My husband is the primary account holder on our account.  I would like to add mobile alerts to my number--a secondary account under our plan.  Every time I attempt to do this through the messaging drop down, I can only add alerts for the primary number.  There is no drop down bar to select a different phone and while I can view my number, usages, and phone features, I cannot figure out how to add mobile alerts.
I have to say Verizon's website is the least user-friendly website I've ever encountered.  I wonder how it ranks among competitors.  It's a shame because otherwise I really love my service, but I dread having to use this website.

You need to create an account for YOUR phone number. Click on Register, and set up a separate username and password for your number only.
You'll need this for Backup Assistant, purchasing (if you chose to) ringtones and ringback tones, and other services, like the mobile alerts.
The main account is tied to one number, the PRIMARY number. That account/login has access to all the details for each of the numbers as far as calls, texts, etc, as well as billing information. Each of the other numbers can (and should) register, monitor their own usage only, and set certain options, alerts, manage contacts, etc. It has to be a separate login so Verizon can display specific information for that number, as wel as send the ringtones, alerts, and whatever to the number that is logged in.
Hope that all makes sense....

    How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

    Aliases remain tied forever to the account which created them. They cannot be moved to another account, converted to a full account, nor reinstated after being deleted.

  • Can I disable the alert "the referenced account is currently locked out..."

    I posted the following on the answers site but was recommended to post here
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/can-i-disable-the-alert-the-referenced-account-is/0af4441c-2f70-4452-a876-7c582fbd6530
    A client has asked me to enable an account lockout threshold on their domain.
    I have made the appropriate changes in Group Policy and also configured an email notification under Task Scheduler that is triggered by Event ID 4740 appearing in the security log. http://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/1588-send-email-on-account-lock-out
    It was when testing this that I noted after the nth incorrect password, I received an on screen alert "the referenced account is currently locked out and cannot be logged on to"
    I tested again with an invalid username and did not get the same message. This is potentially a problem because it means that an attacker sees a difference between a valid username and an invalid username without being required to know any correct
    passwords.
    Is there any way that I can disable this on screen alert so that attackers are not presented with a means to validate usernames?
    I am already aware that account lockouts are no longer in favour for other reasons and have informed the client about the possibility of a denial of service attack that deliberately triggers these lockouts and taken certain steps to mitigate the
    effects.
    However, given that an informed decision has been made to stick with the account lockout policy I would like to be able to mitigate this other undesired consequence if at all possible.

    Hi Matt,
    I understand your concern, although I wasn’t able to find a way to disable or change these embedded Windows messages.
    With Account Lockout policy enabled, the risk that accounts being hacked has been reduced a lot. In addition, we can monitor security logs to determine whether hacking behaviors exist or not.

  • Can you add folders to iPhone mail accounts?

    I figured this out with my .Mac account but can't seem to get it to work with my other POP accounts. Anyone has any success with this?

    You cannot add folders on the iPhone at this time.
    The reason you can add folders to your .Mac account is because .Mac utilizes IMAP, and IMAP supports server-side folders (which are what you're adding). The iPhone itself does not have any folders on it, and doesn't allow folders at this point (outside of whatever directory structure already exists for the system and apps).
    POP does not support this functionality. If possible, I would recommend switching your other account to IMAP on your computer. I
    f not, a solution I provided for my father on his iPhone was to make his .Mac account all-inclusive, and simply forward his other accounts to it I realize this is not ideal for all users (such as myself), but something worth at least bringing up.
    Cheers,
    Josh

  • Can't add Gmail address to iMessage account

    I have tried several times to add my Gmail address to the list of addresses that I can be reached at via my iMessage account. Every time, it says "email sent, waiting to verify". But I never receive the email (and yes, I've checked the Spam folder).
    I'm speculating that this could be because I also have a Google Talk account defined in Messages. But why should this matter?
    Could someone explain? (And even if this is working as intended, the message is misleading. Instead of "email sent, waiting to verify", it should say "you cannot add this address because it is already used in your Google account".)

    Hi,
    It should not matter whether the Added email is already in use as a Google/Jabber account.
    Is the Google Account logging in ?
    Google changed to their own Security authentication process called something like Auth-one.
    They claim this exceeds the SSL Login Messages makes to their servers.
    For the Google account it means you have to visit the account settings at Google and enable "Less Secure Logins" for apps like iChat and Messages and some Browsers.
    Two Step verification also have to be Turned Off.
    Now the iMessages use of additional emails makes me unsure if they use SSL or not.
    To register and link to the iMessages servers for the Apple ID in use does use port 5223 (the same port Jabber clients use for SSL logins)
    It suggests it is a Jabber like Database that is being used.

  • Can't add debit card to PAYG account - restricted?!

    I have been trying for months to add my debit card to my EE account so that I don't have to keep putting the details in every time I top up. In the past the website has always thrown a generic error message but today it said "Cannot add cards on a restricted account" or words to that effect.
    Does anyone know why my account would be restricted in this way?
    I am the only user, well over 18, only ever had one sim and one account and all my details on my account are correct and match my details held by my card issuer. This is really frustrating and a right PITA having to enter the details over and over again.

    Hi ,
    So we can get this sorted for you. please give us a call.
