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.

Does Verizon offer any plans to those who bring their own verizon cellphone?

I have got one verizon iphone4s, and I don't think share everything is suitable for me since I only have one device and have to pay at least $90 a month.
I would like to purchase plan only, I don't need a new phone. (seems like prepaid plan is not available to my iphone)

Here's how it is:
Yes you can go to Verizon with your own IPhone and activate without a contract.
You will always be eligible for upgrade and will not be in a contract. Your contract date will be the day you start service which means you wont have one.
TECHNICALLY: All new customers are only able to go to Share Everything Plan. BUT Customer Service and store reps can just change it to the 450, 900, or Unlimited plan talk only or with Talk and Text. If the store wont do it, start a plan with share everything then just call customer service for a smaller plan with tiered data.
The Nationwide 450, 900, and Unlimited are not inactive plans (Grandfather Plans) so new customers can be switched to the older Nationwide 450, 900, Unlimited plans. You just need to ask for it.

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.

Will Verizon offer any thing to iPhone 4 users since Apple will stop releasing update and support for the device?

Apple recent stated they will no longer offer any support for the iPhone 4, no more updates, apps will stop working with the advancement of software updates. over all by the end of the year the phone will be almost completely phased out. Does Verizon have any type of plan for their current iphone 4 device users?

Verizon has nothing to do with Apple updates.
It is much like Microsoft who phased out support updates to Win 31, Windows 95,98,ME and now Windows XP.
You must deal with Apple http://www.apple.com/support
Good Luck

Does Verizon issue any 5Ghz routers?

From my apartment in NYC, there are a lot of WiFi access points. Vistumbler shows at least 25 networks, all except 1 are using 2.4Ghz spectrum. Some people were using channels besides 1,6,11, (causing extra interference) although now there is only 1 after an appeal to our building listserv.
I had a Actiontec MI424WR (single antenna, grey front panel, I forget the revision letter, but it was "early") and my speeds were quite slow. Via their real-time chat, I asked about a router upgrade, and they offered me a better router. I really wanted a 5Ghz router since my range is not an issue (not a huge apt) but interference in 2.4Ghz is. In the chat (which I have a transcript of, I asked explicitly if it would be 5Ghz capable, and was told it was. But I received the same model number router, except revision "I" now, with 2 antennae and a red front panel. As far as I can tell it is 2.4Ghz only. Fortunately, they did not charge me for this upgrade, or I would be really steamed.
But still I wonder - Does Verizon supply any 5Ghz capable routers?

Yes they offer one for about a 139.99 or you might be able to ask them if they will rent it, I think it's about 5 or 6 dollars to rent. I think you have to call in for this one, it's new.
It's a greenwave g1101 Wireless AC router.
OR a nice option is their 5 GHZ wireless extender, about 75 bux you can buy this one online, and we haven't heard a single complaint about them yet on the forums, if that's helpful. nothing but glowing remarks.

Lync 2010 client does not offer any NON-direct UDP Candidates in its SIP Invite' SDP - why?

Hello.
We have a customer, experiencing the following issue.
They have big multi-continental Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition deployment, with non-NAT'ted Edge Pool.
The call scenario is simple: peer-to-peer video (A/V) call between external Lync client and Video system, Cisco VCS
in this case but does not matter, which (video system) only supports media over UDP (which is nothing strange). The VCS has a lot of video endpoints all over the Globe, Lync clients are also everywhere, so call can be any "distance", not predictable.
All video endpoints are registered on this single VCS.
The video call, as I suspect, only succeeds IF direct peer-to-peer UDP connection works and fails otherwise.
I skip the overall design, keeping here only what is relevant.
Video system offers only its own local IP as UDP candidate (type = host), which in this particular
case is expected, let's assume there is no TURN etc expected on video system' side, it is directly Internet-facing.
Now the main bit. Lync client offers ALL proper TCP candidates: both local AND non-local, using external
public IP addresses of both A/V Edge Hardware LoadBalancer VIP and public IP address of one of Edge servers.
Those candidates are enlisted perfectly fine (I checked carefully), so SIP INVITE has them all offered.
Now: the Lync 2010 client ONLY offers direct/local UDP candidate (type = host) with its own IP address,
but does NOT offer any NON-local UDP Candidates at all (while, again, for TCP candidates the full set of non-local (A/V Edge) ones is offered).
WHY this can happen?
Again my guess on where to dig is: TCP candidates (which are completely useless for such video call)
are all offered fine with A/V Edge's public IPs, both VIP and particular node ones. Does this fact make sense?
WHAT can be the reason why the same or similar remote/Edge Candidates are not being
offered/enlisted for UDP while for TCP they are offered?
What I already found, to be excluded easily: the whole client sign-in and in-band provisioning is OK, all about
certificates is Ok, and all about MRAS URI and MRAS Credentials (looking sign-in traces) is also fine. Client gets proper MRAS username/password and ALL about signaling before SDP is also fine (no TLS or MRAS related errors).
I cannot rule-out potential DNS issues at the moment, however unlikely: otherwise how it would get proper list
of NON-local TCP candidates and all SIP signalling with the Edge working Ok if it would be DNS-specific issue?
What, however, I have not confirmed is: UDP port 3478 is most likely NOT opened on/between all of the involved parties (Edge's private and public interfaces, Hardware LoadBalancer's interfaces and client),
and/or UDP 3478 communication is most likely getting blocked completely (when the client is external), however for instance TCP 443 is everywhere opened.
Can THIS be somehow related to why it properly allocates non-local TCP but none of
non-local UDP Candidates?
What traces show on call negotiation is ICE Connectivity Failed and/or ICE Warning - I have real it carefully, did WireShark'ing, what I suspect is: simply ICE Connectivity Checks fails on direct P2P UDP which is of course expected, and because no non-local
UDP candidates are offered and TCP is not allowed on video system' side - it fails. WireShark shows the following: millions of outgoing UDP from the client to Cisco VCS and not even one INcoming UDP back from VCS.
Sometimes, depending on the external client's location, call, however, succeeds. I guess (guess)
this is because SOMETIMES direct UDP flows Ok, while in vast majority of the cases it expectedly does not.
Big thanks.

I get no wireless signal in my home, so need a network extender for the Lumia 2520. Specs indicate LTE FDD network:Band 20 (800MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz). Does Verizon offer a network extender that will work with the Lumia?

I get no wireless signal inside my home, only outside, so I need a network extender that will work for the Lumia 2520, Specs indicate it uses LTE FDD netork Band 20 (800MHz), Band 3 (1800MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz). Does Verizon offer a network extender that will work with the Lumia 2520?

We want to make sure you get service in your home Astromandata! I can check your area to see if you qualify for the network extender. What's your zip code? If it does qualify than you will be able to use it for your Lumia to support your voice services. Find out more information here: http://spr.ly/6585fNlt Is anyone else having this issue?

Does Verizon offer free calls to family/friends not on verizon like other companies?

Does Verizon offer free calls to family/friends not on verizon like other companies? I recently added my boyfriend. We thought it would be ok if he called his family at night to keep in touch. We thought that the long standing 'Free nights & weekends' would keep us in the safe zone. that was obviously not the case. I hate to tell that he can't talk to them as much as he does. I'd rather not increase the plan. His family members either have landlines or with different cell phone companies.
Any recommendations? And has Verzon done away with Free nights & weekends?
Thanks,
animatdjul

Yes Verizon Wireless offer calling plans that include Friends and Family. We have a single plan of 900 minutes that include 5 numbers to F&F and we have family share plans 1400 minutes and 2000 minutes that include 10 F&F numbers to add to your list. The promotion include cellphones that are not within the Verizon Wireless Network, landlines, and 800 numbers. The plans do not include numbers added outside of the United States..Hope this information helps!

Does verizon offer static ip for residential customers?

I've found conflicting answers, does verizon offer static ip for residential customers?
Thanks!

No. Verizon does not supply outward facing public IP addresses for residential accounts. That would be the WAN IP that could be seen and used on the public side of your router. To get a static IP for your WAN address you would need to have a Verizon business account, flat out plain and simple, no conflicting information. Regardless if it is a HSI or FiOS account the Static IP is optional for small businesses, and yes it does cost more.
http://search.verizon.com/?st=zz&tp=s&rv=s&q=Static+IP
If you want to be able to contact your router remotely based on a domain or domain host Dynamic IP, there are various companies that do this. You would just configure port forwarding to the service and computer on your internal network. A free host ID on their domain or a paid domain name with more elaborate features. I have used both at one time or another. The last time was for a temporary speed test server I was running for network speed tests on my GPON 150/65 connection I had. Some people use it for security cameras, or home control systems where they do not wish to connect through a third party. There are many reasons for wanting this. But remember, it is against Verizon's TOS to run a server on a residential account. But I have only heard of them going after someone with a warning because of excessive traffic being generated on a FiOS account.

Does it cost any money when you imessage outside the United States?

Does it cost any money when you imessage outside the United States?

It shouldn't if it is truely an iMessage and you are using wi-fi, such as your home LAN.
There is a difference in cellular SMS text messages and iMessages. The other person must have an iOS device and you must both have an internet connection. The conversation will appear in blue.

Does Verizon make any effort to retain customers now?

Two of our lines are out of contract next week. We've been with VZW since the Airtouch days in the mid 90s. Our current plan for 3 users (700 minutes, 2 text messaging bundles of 250 each and 1 phone on unlimited data) runs about $110 a month. That's with corporate discounts. We want to add another smart phone (2 GB $30 a month) but we've discovered doing so will raise our bill to $140+ per month. The total cost over two years would be $3410 (including phone costs of about $50 in taxes by getting something like a Moto X).
After doing some comparison shopping we've ordered two Nexus 5 phones. On t-mobile with a corporate discount we'll get unlimited talk/text, 2.5 GB on two smartphones (5 GB) and .5 GB on a dumbphone (or smartphone) for less than $100 a month. Year one we'll be paying more considering the upfront costs of the Nexus phones ($750) But early in the second year we'll be saving money. And of course we'll have far more minutes and texts than we currently enjoy. By the end we'll have saved over $300 next year.
We've done the math on VZW with the same features (unlimited talk/text,5.5 GB) and even with discounts we'd be looking at $170 a month! When I've addressed this with VZW customer support they tell us the network is better (I tested a t-mobile phone for 2 weeks and it performed perfectly for my day to day routine) and that we must buy our phones. Yep, figured that into the equation already. So far, nobody on the VZW side has mentioned a monthly credit to make up for the large price discrepancy.
Comparing like to like we see a gap of ~900 over two years.
In years past VZW would give loyal customers $100 extra toward a phone and made other overtures to retain us. Am I wasting my time by calling into VZW and asking them to match t-mobile's offer? Guessing the answer is yes.

So you got a quote for 3 lines from T-Mobile but your whole goal in the first place was to add a 4th line correct? And even so, DirecTV and home internet providers do offer loyalty discounts. But that's because they offer subsidized plans in the first place. VzW and most cell carriers do not offer subsidized plans, they offer subsidized phones. With that said, they 99% of the time will not add discounts to a plan that never had discounts in the first place (Minus your company discounts).
Why did you get a 3 line quote when you wanted 4 lines? I feel like with a 4th line on T-Mobile it won't be much cheaper that $140+ but I'm not familiar with their plans so I don't know for sure. And you do get what you pay for. Verizon has the best Nationwide coverage. If T-Mobile offers good coverage where you need it and does have a cheaper price, just switch. It would be a lot easier than trying to convice VzW to offer an extra discount.

Does Adobe offer ANY support?

I am trying to install acrobat on my Mac. My PC crashed and the software was deactivated. Adobe's own website states that I have to contact Adobe to get this sorted. The only option it gives me for doing this is through 'Chat'. But I get a message stating that chat is unavailable. I have had the same message for the last few hours. It doesn't state if/when chat will be available again.
If Adobe tells me the only solution to my problem is contacting Adobe is there not some kind of responsibility for Adobe to actually give me the means to contact them? I know I ONLY spent £335.
Is there a problem with Adobe Chat support? Does Adobe own any telephones? Does Adobe actually exist or is it just a criminal gang? Currently I have no idea.

Hi Edin72 ,
An Acrobat for PC cannot be installed and activated on MAC, Acrobat purchased for PC can only be installed on PC.
Thanks,

Does Apple offer any software that will allow you to download and markup pdf documents

Are their any less expensive programs that one can use to markup a downloaded pdf document. Adobe wants $399 for their programs

Preview does limited marking up, but that may or may not be printable or exportable to e-mail depending on how
well written the PDF document was.
You can export a PDF from Preview to TIFF or JPEG and edit with http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter.
You can always ask the publisher of the said PDF to offer a simple HTML editable form online.
There are services for many tax bureaus that offer online editing of one's taxes without ever having to buy Adobe Acrobat Pro.

I am trying to access the multiple home page option in 4.01 (XP). The page at Tools/Options/General does not offer any Home Page optons. How can I do this? Thank you.

I've installed Firefox 4.01. It offer the option to have multiple pages on startup, but the direction to set this found in Firefox Help take me to a that that offers no home page setting option. In this new version in fact, I can find no place to set my home page.

You will have to contact support by web chat to figure out any such issues.
