Cannot Get a Straight Answer About Phone number transfer

I signed up for FIOS, and I requested that the assigned number be changed to a number that was presented to me but I didn't select (system locked up and next time I went to enroll it didn't present me with the same numbers).
My installer notified Verizon of the number request I made (which was still unassigned). I have emailed, called, and spoke with a supervisor at Verizon and none of them have verified that the order is even in place. They say that they "can't see it in the system" and it could take 30 days.
If the "phone company" can't see it in the system who's minding the store?!
If anyone knows what to do please help!
TIA
Solved!

Where is my back-ordered phone? Can't get a straight answer about my order

Where is my phone? I ordered the iphone 6 on the phone with a Verizon rep and had a del. date of Oct 7. Ordered on release date, Sept 19.
Every time I call, since there is no notice whatsoever in my bill or account that this happened, its a different story each time, but no tracking number, no confirmation email that it is shipped. It should have been shipped days ago!
I have the email with the confirmation number and completed order with details from Sept 19. in an email. Verizon account: Zippo. Others have gotten the phone early and ordered when I did. What is going on? I'm fed up with this and about to just withdrawal the order. This was supposed to be my first smart phone, and should not be aggravating. IF Verizon would be smart enough to recognize that, I'd be a new smart phone customer. I've been with the company 13 years! Supposedly "qualified" for their "loyalty customer" plan even. Never thought I would have this many company reps say either vague or outright stupid things like it was shipped only to find out they were reading the order for the case for the non-delivered phone. I can read the information correctly, but the people paid to do this can't? I mean, it is their job to accurately read an order, isn't it? I call every week or twice this past wk since I expected a confirmation email on shipping. What is going on? I'm positive they messed up my order and won't admit it so I won't get the order. I'm bowing out if that is the case.

I know how important it is for you to confirm your new phone is on the way, waitingstill. We definitely don't want to see you leave! I sent you a private message. Please check your inbox here in the forums to reply with the details I'll need to ensure your phone is on the way.

How do you get straight answers about Apple products?

I'm trying to gather information on buying Apple products and my posts keep getting deleted.
So, I'm not even going to ask why my posts were deleted because I'm sure you have some reason for everything. What I am going to ask is where I can go to get real, uncensored answers about Apple computers so I can be an informed consumer, not just someone who is "wowed" by fancy packaging and the glowing apple logo.
Thanks,
Jeff

The problem I have is that there is an illogical mentality on this forum for a logical thought process of the user.
I am thinking of buying a mac...so strangely enough I come to Apple.com. I look around and realize that the sales pitches are fine and all, but they're not answering my questions.
So step two, look for an email address so I can contact Apple and ask them the answers to my questions....no email.
Ok, so next step, I come to the forums where I am already a member due to previous problems with another Apple product.
I make a post detailing my current options, thoughts, and questions.
In the REAL WORLD things aren't as black and white as Apple.com would lead you to believe so I asked some real world questions relating to both technical and advice from other Mac users.
The thread was closed down due to violating some terms. Even though I was saying right in my post that while I had other options I didn't want to discuss them here, I just wanted to discuss my Macbook related questions.
Doesn't matter though. It was deleted and that was that.
So what does that do? What it does is a few things.
1. It makes the Apple forum seem cliche. You can't complain or the "Apple minions" will put you in your place and break a pinky just so you rememmber.
2. It makes a potential customer like me very reluctant to buy the products because I don't feel good about the illusion of support based on whether it is favorable to Apple.
3. It doesn't answer my questions. I posted the exact same topic on the Vista forum and it's still going, at post 30 and there is a lot of good advice even though I'm talking about installing vista on a Mac or the other way around.
Then...I get the same thing every time I come on this forum. A majority of people making **** sure they find a way to tell me I'm the one out of line and that Apple can do no wrong.
Regardless, it says a lot about a company when you ask questions and they are deleted because they're not favorable for whatever reason. It makes me say, "Well screw it then, I'll stick with what has worked and what I know"

How can I get someone to answer the phone? I'm ready to give VERIZON my business. I sat on the phone for over 20 minutes only to be transferred to "Sales." I then sat on the phone for another 15 minutes!!!! I finally hung up.

How can I get someone to answer the phone? I'm ready to give VERIZON my business. I sat on the phone for over 20 minutes only to be transferred to "Sales." I then sat on the phone for another 15 minutes!!!! I finally hung up.

It takes an enormous amount of patience and time to get through to a qualified person.
My Samsung S5 was locked out and needed a factory reset. Including attempts to achieve this locally, it took over an hour before my problem was even addressed.
You may be interested in my journey to a very good technical support person.
First I called the local sales person who had given me his personal business card with the friendly advice to call me with any questions. No answer at about 8:30 am when the business was open. His voice mailbox was full.
Then I called the local store where I had purchased the phone. The person who answered the phone had learned all the proper stock phrases, but was not familiar with the issue, stated that there were no customers in the store, and I should go there in about an hour when there would be more staff. He suggested dialing *411 from my phone (which was locked). Then he gave me a number to call Verizon, which he had to look up, and it took a minute or so. The number was (removed). That is an internal number for employees and contractors and requires a code to access, obviously not designed for customers' use. He finally cut me off by stating that there were a number of customers in line waiting for his attention!
After researching all my papers I found 800-922-0204 on my bill. The automated message suggested a hold time of 5 minutes, it took 20 minutes for a Customer Service Representative to pick up, and then I was referred to technical assistance. The hold time was announced to take 5 minutes, after 12 minutes I finally was connected.
Fortunately I had my computer set up for Skype on a loudspeaker, and was able to do some other paperwork while waiting.
Persistence was rewarded by having the good fortune to be connected to a very experienced, qualified and patient technical support staff with the name of Thomas (removed). He solved my problem, answered my questions during the process of resetting the phone, and gave an example of courteous and kind customer service that I had never experienced before when dealing with any major internet company.

Why can't I get a straight answer re: Multi Room DVR and HD Boxes

A rep that I spoke w/ on the phone and the website tells me that the HD set top boxes are not compatiable w/ the Multi Room DVR. But they are working on it. A rep I chatted w/ today told me they definitely WILL work together. Why can't I get a straight answer?? And what IS the correct answer? I want to switch to FIOS and I really like the Multi Room DVR option, but I don't want my 1 of my 2 main TVs to be w/o HD. And since the Multi Room Box is HD why wouldn't it be compatiable w/ the HD boxes??
Does anyone know what's going on w/ this?? Thanks!

Joe01880,
And that info is out of date, whether it is on Verizon's website or not. If you have the latest level of the IMG (1.6), then, as confirmed one post above yours, that the HD STB is now supported, and works. This has been posted in multiple posts on multiple forums, so I believe that it is accurate. But I do not have the 1.6 level so I cannot confirm that personally, I can only repeat what other posters in this and other forums have said. For example:

as robdrage says - they will need to send txts, not imessages. And if you have not already done so - log into apple dot com and get to your profile / device list, and remove the phone. If apple thiks the device is active, and the phone number is the same, it will continue to intercept and misdirect messages.
take a look at this - near the end i how to do it at apple.com (it is not real clear on the web page)

My iphone syncs with everything but iphoto. It used to but has now stopped. I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer. any ideas?

My iphone syncs with everything except iphoto.
It used to be able to do it, but has now stopped.
I'm trying to sync photos so I can upgrade my phone, and keep all my photos taken with my old phone.
But I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer because when I link my phone to my mac iphoto doesn't recognise it at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Lots of folks fix these kinds of issues with a simple restart of the phone. Others require a Reset of the phone.

Can anyone get a straight answer from Openreach......

Is there anyone or anywhere you can get a straight answer from openreach on when a cabinet wil be connected?
I think I know whats going on. They are connecting exchanges to meet targets but not bothering with cabinets. Exchange connected = Fibre in area but the reality is very different.
I know this isnt an openreach forum but this seems to full of knowledgeable and helpful people. Maybe somone can find out when we can expect a power cable to be plugged into our cabinet. Seems to be most of our town that despite being 'enabled' cant get connected

Hi Huwflet,
There may not be any road to dig up and even if there is there are only very limited situations where permission is required.
Try contacting www.superfastlancashire.com they may be able to help you.
Lancashire County Council has agreed a £62.5m project with BT. Fibre will be extended to 97% of premises by the end of 2014.
BT will contribute £30m to the project while £10.8m will come from BDUK, with £16.5m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and £5.2m from local councils.

Why can't we get a straight answer from Apple about updater issues?

Why are there thousands and thousands of posts from people all having the same issue? We try to update IPod software using latest updater, and it causes IPod to no longer be recognized. All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM! Yet all we get are refferals to complicated articles that never seem to work for at least half the people. Clearly it is a problem with these updaters. WHY IS APPLE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE? Can anyone give me a straight answer!?

Hi Wolf,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
"thousands and thousands of posts"
There are roughly 10,300 thread with 50,000 posts in the iPod Nano forum, and there are probably another 500,000 who don't even know it exists. I don't there there has been a thousand posts on the updater issue. It may seem like thousands upon thousands, but don't forget; you're at an Apple Support Forum.
"All we want is someone from Apple to FIX THE PROBLEM!thousands and thousands of posts"
There's no need to "shout". I don't think Apple is going to hear you from shouting in a user to user forum. Nor will you probably get a answer (here) from Apple for the same reason. I have a -------- (straight) answer for you. I don't know what's going on specifically (no one really knows in this forum because they are all users. Anyone who would know won't say), but I can assure you that Apple isn't ignoring the issue. They are the quickest to respond to any problem that comes their way. If you would like to get Apple's attention, I don't suggest ranting and raving in the iPod user to user forum. I suggest submitting polite feedback to Apple here.

My latest OS upgrade (to 6.1.3) resulted in loss of all music on the iPhone. It is still on my computer intact, but cannot get it back on the phone. If I click on music under the iPhone icon in iTunes, it shows me only voice memos. Help!

after upgrades, suddenly no music is on or can be synched to the iPhone. It is all there on my computer but cannot get it to synch back. I tried copying over older itl fils t no avail.
If I click on music under the iPhone icon within iTunes, it shows on a dozen or so voice memos. (also shows them under "Voice memos").
Itunes version is 11.0.3 (42)
Any suggestions?

From the requirements point of view, you can happily move to iOS 6. From the user tranquility pov, it's a crapshoot. Remember that MILLIONS of iDevices have been sold, a couple of those just this past Xmas season and hence all with iOS 6 preinstalled. "Many complain in the forums" is a number that ranges in the 10's or 100's: i.e., a minuscule amount of the total devices out there. And. of course, nobody comes here to gush excitedly about how well his iGadget works; everybody here (save those of us regular users who attempt to help, we're not Apple employees) has a gripe, grumble or complaint.
I can tell you from personal experience that my i5 with iOS 6.1.4 works as desired. All my colleagues' iPhones with iOS 6 work as expected. And we have a particularly flaky Wi-Fi environment thanks to our less than stellar netadmins.
But in the end, it is entirely up to you. Will you bite the bullet, or wait some more? Check the new stuff that came with iOS 6 and decide whether or not to risk it.

How can I get iMessage to recognize my phone number AND my email address?

I used to get imessages using my phone number. Then my iphone screen broke and I ended up buying a new one. Now when I restored my iphone, the imessaging only recognizes my email address (the one connected to my apple id) and not the phone number. The phone number shows up as a lighter type font and can not be selected. I made sure this number is part of my apple ID but that did not help. I have deleted and restored the account twice.
The imessage is working but only using the email address.
Ideas?
Jennifer

the link Ckuan put up helped me resolve this. thank you.
i signed out of both imessage and facetime on my computer and iphone. (i actually wasnt signed into my account on my iphone)
but i did sign in on my iphone
i then made sure that my tel number was the only button ticked
then once that was sorted i went back to my computer and signed in to both imessage and facetime and my number was now an option.
i made sure it was ticked and all was ok.
i think my problem occured from when i done a "reset all settings" ... i only done this reset because my keypad on my iphone was sticking and that was a solution to sorting that.
thanks again
