Getting help from Verizon is maddening..........hope this message gets me an answer

I am not computer literate but I'll try to make sense.  Each time I log into my email acct. and delete messages, most delete but there is always one (or two) that will not.  This causes my email to freeze and therefore I must log out and log in again.  And I want to know why it is impossible to contact a live person to get answers or to email a tech????? I've tried everything  but nothing works.

This is something we will have to look at for you. I'm sorry to hear its causing such bad problems for you. I have sent you a private message to get more info from you.

  • We used to have great service, now it sucks! Constantly dropping calls, dead areas that have never been dead. Getting fed up and getting no help from Verizon.

    This is really getting old, no help from Verizon. Service was great 2 years ago now it sucks, Constantly dropping calls, dead areas where there used to be fine. What is verison doing to help this???

    I have an iphone 5s, my husband has a casio, my sister in law has a Samsung, my friends have various phones we are all experiencing the same thing – dropped calls, no service and it is outside as well as inside the house or the car. At our residence and along the drive to work or to the store. I don’t text much or use my data much so I am mostly concerned with the telephone service.

    Hola scj2000-
    Muchas gracias por visitar nuestro foro en búsqueda de una explicación al cargo que recién apareció en tu tarjeta de crédito.
    Entiendo su preocupación, ya que cualquier cargo extraño que aparece en un estado de cuenta puede ser alarmante. En este caso, el último cargo que puede recuperar usando el correo electrónico que usaste para registrarte al foro, refleja que se renovó un antivirus Kaspersky. Esta autorización nos diste cuando realizaste la compra de tu Lenovo, desde entonces se renueva automáticamente la licencia de antivirus.
    Las otras publicaciones que has leído, indican lo mismo. Un cargo que se ha hecho a la tarjeta de crédito que se presentó durante la compra con la autorización del cliente.
    Lamento mucho la confusión y espero esto aclare tu duda.
    Atentamente,

    Hi ,
    I would like to ask you about purchase item transfer to ipad from mac book Itunes, But This message will be notified on screen
    "This ipad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized with that purchased item on this ipad"
              I did authorized in the store, but still did not transfer to the mac. Could you please to tell me what should I do it? Please let me know that as soon as possible.
    Regards,
    Thank you

    The iPad is fine.  But the computer you're syncing with needs to be authorised with the Apple ID that was used to buy the material on the iPad.  You do this by picking the 'Authorize' item from the menu in iTunes and entering the account name and password.

  • Verizon's caller id database is wrong  - getting no help from Verizon

    Our business phone line is through Comcast.    When we call a phone number from our business line, it doesn't matter if the recipient is on AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Comcast, or any other carrier, the caller id shows as our business line.
    -- However --
    If we call a Verizon cell phone (ours included), it shows an old caller id record -- the record is of the person who previously owned the phone number three years ago.
    I called Verizon on December 1st.  Spent 20 minutes explaining the problem to someone who was completely unqualified to take a call nor understand my issue.  I asked to speak to a supervisor - she refused.  She then said she fixed my problem.   However, she didn't.   I got an email survey on her help.  I gave her "1's" across the board and explained how incompetent this person was.  I then got a call from a Verizon supervisor the next day that had saw my review.  She said she would fix my problem and then call me back.   
    THE SUPERVISOR NEVER FIXED MY PROBLEM AND NEVER CALLED ME BACK!
    This is absolutely horrible customer service.  How do I get in contact with someone at Verizon that will update their caller id database records???  AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Comcast, and all other carriers show the correct caller ID (our business name).   Verizon does not.
    I've only been a Verizon customer a month and it's absolutely horrible customer service.  Please help me.
    Thank you.

    pherson.... you're an idiot.
    Perhaps you should read the original complaint.     If AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Qwest, and Comcast all show the correct caller ID and Verizon does not.... well, that means IT IS A VERIZON ISSUE.
    I find your response very poor... you're showing the poor customer service attitude that others at Verizon have displayed.
    Can I recommend that you take a course on how caller id works?   And please learn  how to treat Verizon customers with respect.

  • NO HELP FROM VERIZON - Parental Controls/Family Safety

    I need to change the parental controls on my daughter's account with MSN provided by Verizon.  But, parental controls no longer exist.  So, I'm directed to "Family Safety".  In order to get to "Family Safety" I'm directed to remove parental controls from my daughter's account.  I click on the button to remove parental controls and get an error message "The page you have requested does not exist, has moved, or is temporarily down."  After trying with on-line support from Verizon for about 1/2 hour, the person helping me said I needed to call Verizon for assistance.  So, I call Verizon for assistance.  After being on the phone for 40 minutes with a tech support person, the answer I get back is that "we no longer support parental controls and if you need assistance you have to go to a local technician".  Or, I can call MSN.  So, I get the phone number for MSN who refer me back to Verizon.  I don't see how a "local technician" (the person I talked to said to take my computer in to somebody for them to help) can really assist with a service provided by MSN and Verizon!  This is absolutely crazy.  Has anyone else had this issue and actually received help?  If so, can you tell me what worked?

    Hi Annoyed2,
    Sorry about the experience you have had thus far.  We have discontinued the MSN portal partner service.  We no longer support the MSN email service.  The change was made by Microsoft to upgrade to MSN Live.  I do apologize for the inconvenience. 
    Thank you for choosing Verizon.

  • Why do I constantly have to restart my phone daily since the 4.3 update and why are there zero answers or help from Verizon or Samsung?

    Ever since the 4.3 update, which I waited until end of January 2014 to download, My phone has been messed up. Some of the problems I solved on my own since Verizon and Samsung both refused to help me. I fixed the charging problem by using an HTC Incredible charger since Samsung's charger is garbage since the update. Battery drain is also a constant issue. Ram is ALWAYS full which should be a good thing but clearing it out completely and killing off all Google apps seems to make my phone all of a sudden fly and work super fast. As the day goes on I am unable to clear all of these unwanted items from being open and bogging down my phone. Most of the apps doing this are the preloaded ones you don't need. I am forced to restart my phone to get the memory cleared at least 2-4 times a day. Verizon tells me this is normal. Samsung hangs up on me when I call. Why do I have to restart this phone just to get it to work like it should after a few hours of being on? Does Verizon care about customers or just money?

    @Verizon Wireless Customer Support. I have the 4.3 version that I got with the awful update. I waited until the end of January to download it and guess what was never fixed? Your update. Its been months and battery drain is not better at all. I have replaced with a new battery and it was the same problem. I have used safe mode numerous times and it does not do anything either other than annoy me some more. I have done a factory reset on my phone since the update I downloaded in January 47 times so far. It didn't do anything but erase everything and I had to start all over. Google apps are a major reason my phone is lagging. Once I force stop them the phone has incredible speed, when the Google apps are on, the phone lags. The internet browser is also super slow. 56k dial up has faster speeds than my mobile browser and I have full 4g lte bars. Its beyond annoying because when ever I call Verizon customer service I am told nothing is wrong. If I break the phone into a million pieces you would still tell me its working properly. This problem persists on a daily basis. I now restart my phone 4 to 6 times daily. I am starting to wonder why the quality of your company is getting worse and worse? I have been around with Verizon wireless since early 2000 when you first merged with Vodafone, but in the past 4 years things have changed dramatically and I have stopped feeling appreciated like Verizon once made me feel

  • IPhone 5 Data and no help from Verizon Customer Serv!

    My boyfriend and I both have the iPhone 5, and an iPad on my account. We upgraded his on the iPad line since it was up for an upgrade. He got his.. and is blowing thru gb's but no big deal, he has unlimited. I had unlimited as well, got my iPhone 5 this week on Monday. I work 8-7 so I'm rarely on the internet or any data using apps on my phone. I started getting messages about using my data, but thought nothing of it, as Verizon sent these to me about a year ago and told me it was a mistake. So today I got a message that I am over my data and receiving over charges!!! So I call- BAM! We took you off your unlimited plan- nope we cannot put you back, it was grandfathered... hi um ya, I never said to take it off, nor did I agree to that... The rep says it was on social media and I should have known this.. I may be unlike the rest of the universe apparently, but I pay 0 attention to social media. Then she says the rep who upgraded my phone should have told me this.. well he did not, actually we discussed my plan (per me asking if their was a way to reduce the bill) and he suggested keeping my unlimited plan..and took my iPhone 5 order! So, since she offered me ZERO resolution or help, I asked for a supervisor.. who was as concerned about my issue as a sack of potatoes! She said you can return your iPhone 5 back to us(I would have to pay the shipping)and we can REQUSET that you have your original plan back, but we cannot guarantee that you will get it back. So I say.. You're telling me that a multi-million dollar company is taking something away, does not have to tell me it is happeneing, and opposed to wanting to keep consumers you would rather me send the device back and not re-new my service for 2 years? That does not seem like customer service, loyalty, or good business to me. She yells.. you can send it BACK and we can try to put your plan back! I had enough at that point- Filed a complaint with the FCC...
    Gave myself a few hours to calm down.. in the mean time letting my FB community know Verizon screwed me and to be careful. In which time about 6-9 friends text me telling me they upgraded to whatever device and are getting these charges!!!! SO YOU FAIL TO TELL EVERYONE HUH... WOW... So apparently I am not the only one who was not aware of this when placing the order, and oh yea missed it on social media because you have to listen/watch social media to balance your personal Verizon account... NOT
    So I try to call Verizon again to be logical and change my plan since I'd rather not argue with Verizon over a 1,000$ bill for my overages.. This rep tells me I should switch to the 8gb plan, which will actually save us about 30$ a month!! SOUNDS GREAT RIGHT...... Followed by me asking (since the bf has the NFL app and is on it all the time..) How much data does the other =line use? ..... Well he used 6.8gb......ok and I had 2gb... and I went over... lets count this out folks.. 6.8+2= OVER 8! Then that is not even including the data the iPad uses!!
    Basically... I am screwed! I can give back the iPhone 5.. that I have every right to have... and pay out the rear for data... or I can give it back to Verizon, and *HOPE* they give me my plan back! In my opinion.. this is a bunch of CRAP!

    I also did not know about this change before I ordered the iPhone 5. I ordered the phone on-line and it let me choose the same plan I was already on with unlimited data before I placed the order. Now they are basically saying, "too bad." Did you ever get this resolved?

  • Poor cell service on Staten Island (NY). Posted problem 9 months ago. No help from Verizon.

    Dear Verizon Wireless -
    I have been working on the campus of the College of Staten Island for approximately 1 year and the Verizon signal/reception here is horrendous to non-existant. Many of my co-workers - especially women concerned with safety - have switched to ATT or are considering doing so.
    Here's some description of how bad the reception is:
    When I need to be on a telelconference using my cell, I have walked all over campus staring at my bars to get some decent signal. Even then, there are times when moving even as little as a foot results in a dropped call. When I try to use my cell in our workspace, I will place it at the window (there are no tall buildings nearby) and use a headset, which works ok but not great. If I get a call, I grab the phone and run to 1 of 3 spots in our building where I seem to get a decent signal; one of those places is outside at a particular section of wall. As you can see, this is a very touchy situation where every little movement can result in a dropped call. I'd say about half of my calls are dropped.
    Here's some of my attempts to resolve this problem:
    1) reprogramming my phone by dialing *228 (anytime I do this, I go through both option 1 and 2.
    2) removing my battery for a few minutes, reinstalling, and restarting
    3) searching for updates to my phone (none exist)
    4) scanning the web in general and your website in particular for discussions of this topic. I did find that several areas on Staten Island have very poor Verizon reception.
    Looking at my settings menu, there seem to be some things I can change, but I have no idea what the options are so I've done nothing so I don't make the situation worse.
    My phone:
    Samsung SCH-U365
    Thank you for any help. I really prefer not to switch carriers.

    Look lets put it this way. You have spotty or no coverage on campus period.
    However I am not Verizon Tech Support. call 1-800-922-0204 and speak to them to open up a trouble ticket.
    You posting it here is getting you no where. I would have called if you are speaking the truth a year ago.
    Not all carriers have coverage every where. It is not guaranteed nor should it be expected.
    Years ago when our offices moved from a high rise building 20 stories high where the service was excellent, we got moved to a core building and service was terrible. This went on for years.
    Finally today Verizon has high 4G LTE in this same area. It just took time. And of course we moved again and was away for years
    That is just the way it is.
    Complaining here or getting angry here is a waste of time.
    Call up and report the issue get the incident number and have them get updates to you.
    Or simply change carriers.
    Choices and more choices....

  • Blacklisted IP and no help from Verizon support

    According to http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check my IP is listed with no less than 4 blacklist entities.
    My browser was recently prevented from connecting to one of my own client sites (that website's host actually alerted me to this blacklisting), which has since been working, but I have no way of knowing how many other websites might deny access to my IP--or even if my outgoing emails are being denied.
    BUT THIS IS NOT AN EMAIL ISSUE. This is a blacklisting issue.
    Verizon support via Twitter has been ineffective and pointless:
    "Since you have a dynamic IP, we're unable to whitelist your IP at this time. ^JGG"
    And Verizon phone support consists of wading through phone menus, waiting 10 minutes to get someone and then listening to them read their script as they fumble around completely and utterly ignorant of what I'm talking about. And then getting disconnected--at least 3 times.
    I don't CARE if my IP is "dynamic"; OBVIOUSLY my computer/connection is being IDENTIFIED by an IP that prevented me from visiting that site (and who knows how many others) and, thus, Verizon should be able to erase that from my connection and assign a new [dynamic] one.
    All I've gotten so far are excuses, technobabble and stupidity. Anything, that is, but CUSTOMER SERVICE. I pay nearly $100 a month for this **bleep**.

    All of Verizon's Dynamic IP's are blacklisted from Email lists.
    Somegirl speaks wisely on this issue and is correct, IP's that are blacklisted from websites, are typically a result of an out of date bogon filter, and those filters are maintained by the site hosts not Verizon.   a "work around"  is to simply get a new ip address in a range that your website's host is not blocking.    a long term fix is engaging the site host (not the webmaster) and have them update their bogon filter lists. 
    The blacklisted email thing, though, if that's the issue, then you can't get around that. 
    In fact, that's such a common practice that this is what a Company has to say about blacklisted IP's that are Dynamic (this company is not associated with Verizon FYI,  but it shows the industry attitude about dynamic IP's for Email blacklisting)
    http://cbl.abuseat.org/dynamic.html
      This IP address is dynamicAs we've mentioned earlier, CBL listings that interfere with legitimate email are almost ALWAYS as a result of virus-infected machines.
    The difficulty with dynamic IP addresses is that you may not have had this IP address at the time the virus was infected, so there is nothing you can do to prevent a relisting. Furthermore, the next time you connect, you may well get a new IP address that's already listed.
    This situation is particularly common with wireless portals.
    So, here the best way to proceed is to avoid having the listing affect you, not remove the listing.
    If you have a dynamic IP address, or even just a user of a large ISP, your ISP will have provided you with the name and/or IP address of a mail server you should use to send email. You should put this in your mail reader (or server in some cases) "smart host" or "outbound SMTP server" setting.
    Once you do this, you shouldn't be bothered by CBL listings again, and there's no need to delist it.
    Even if you could get the CBL to delist it (and we usually do when we're contacted the first time), it's not going to help much in the long run - not only will you likely run into a CBL listing again in the future, other DNSBLs (called "DUL"s) are listing _entire_ dynamic ranges, so the CBL is the least of your problems.
    As one example, which we get asked many times about, the DirectWay wireless provider tells their users to set their "outbound SMTP server" to be "smtp.direcway.com". As it turns out, they don't seem to be interested in securing their wireless portal, and supply this to give their users a way around the CBL (and MANY other DNSBL) listings.
     Note to ISP staff:The CBL's users expect us to list demonstrably compromised machines. Even if they're dynamic. Do NOT ask us to permanently delist dynamic ranges or any other type of generic end-user pools, because we won't: no exceptions.
    The only way you can avoid repeated CBL listings of dynamic IP addresses is to treat the network segment as a NAT'd LAN, and configure your routers to block outbound port 25 from all IP addresses in the range. See NAT information.
    It's really pointless to permanently delist dynamic ranges, because "Dialup" DNSBLs (aka "DUL"s) list the whole range anyway.
    Solution for email blacklisted customers is different.  configure your machines properly using Verizon's outbound SMTP smtp.verizon.com (ssl and port 465)    you will be subject to their spam policy's with that config, or get a 3rd party SMTP to use. 

  • No coverage equals no help from Verizon. What to do?

    We've had Verizon for years. Moved a couple times along the way. However, before we moved recently, we checked to make sure that there would be coverage at our new address. Was informed that service at our major metropolitan home would fine. Kept our phones the same until months after we moved initially. Some time later, we upgraded our phones but have had nothing but problems with failed calls. After several trouble tickets were made regarding service, we were told that engineering confirmed that there was a problem in our area and that they would be building a new tower but without a date in mind. Our calls fail both inside and outside our home. Verizon offered a network extender to help with the signal but they are adamant that we pay for it. Though it's at a reduced price, it's unacceptable to have to pay additional cost for service we're already paying for. We would prefer to get the extender at no charge, however the way we've been treated, we are considering requesting to be released from our contract. Aren't there laws that protect the consumer? What are our options?

        @someguynphx,
    I appreciate your long time loyalty and definitely don't want to lose you.
    I understand your concern. Having reliable service and being able to use your phone where you spend most of your day is a must!
    Please keep in mind that we can not guarantee service indoors as many things can interfere with the signal. This is why the network extender was offer as an optional accessory to help boost the signal inside your home.
    If you would like I can check the coverage in your area but would need some additional information. Please follow me and send me a direct message with your name an mobile number so I can access the account.

  • Aspect ratio issues with SD box and no help from Verizon

    I just renewed my  2 year contract which included a free box but a billing screwup resulted in repeated charges for the box. A CS rep credited the account and said I had the wrong box and she would send out a new one. 
    i had a 7100 Motorola HD box. I have an older television set (that cannot control aspect ratio) and I have never had HD service but this was the box I was sent by Verizon as part of my contract. Why they felt it had to be changed I don't know, but ..... the box they sent was a 2500 SD box which does not give me an acceptable picture.
    It's totally random. Some channels are 16:9. Some are overzoomed 4:3. The FIOS channel bar at the bottom is partially off the screen and the content is clipped around the edges. Commercials are totally random in size and appearance.
    The # key on the remote does not work. There is no option in Settings to change the aspect ratio. 
    CS was ZERO help. They concluded that I had to either deal with the scattershot image sizes and clipped image content or go buy another television. SERIOUSLY VERIZON?
    I couldn't get an answer as to why the box I was sent by Verizon as part of my original contract that provided a perfectly acceptable image had to be replaced with a box that doesn't provide squat.  I have had Verizon service for  approximately 7 years with this same television and this is the first time I've been given a box that can't produce an acceptable image and a remote that can't resize. So why now?
    This smells like a bait and switch, or an attempt to get customers to pay for an upgraded box for a service they don't want  just to get an acceptable picture.  I live in an urban area and there is plenty of older equipment in these homes. So are customers like myself just being told even though you pay a significant amount of money for a Triple Play you are only getting 2 parts of the service?
    I find it hard to believe there isn't some way to make the box or the remote change the image size. Can anyone help?

    why do so many topics go to private section?  we need to see how it's responded to in case we have the same problem..
    but yes, our 2500 sd box, basically the 4:3 standard non HD box broadcasts to fit a 4:3 TV.. now some channels will have the black bars on top and bottom to accommodate the 16:9 aspect ratio..  you'll notice this if you run the 2500 box on a flat screen.. if you have it in 16:9 ratio on a flat screen it looks stretched.. the only way to watch regularly is in 4:3 mode.. which basically has the image with bars on all sides.. or you can zoom it and lose a portion of the image.. but it's because the box thinks you're using a 4:3 sd tv so the boxes appear on top and bottom so it can still fit the wider image it's filmed in.. so with flat screens you need the HD box i guess..  unless there is something i'm missing but there isn't a setting that i can find to change how the box exports the image for a flat screen or 4:3.   I know the HD boxes have an 'SD Override' option.. which i guess tells the box you're not using a 4:3 tv anymore.. but that option is not on the 2500 SD box.. believe me i looked..  but this is all in reverse for your issue anyhow as you're having trouble with the SD box on an SD TV...  which yeah, if you run SD the quality of picture is not as good as the HD programming.. so please let us know what they say to do for you.

  • I enter about.config in my address bar and a page from SearchAssist - Landing appears with this message: "As a courtesy, your ISP provided this page because "about.config" does not exist or is unavailable." How can I reach about.config?

    Details in original question above - maybe that's why response was that this question had not been asked before. I use very slow dial-up (DSL not available in my area) and I have a lot of computer problems as a result. So I'm not sure if this is because of my computer or if the page really is no longer available. Last time I reinstalled the OS I was able to access it and make changes (May 13-14). I need to reinstall the OS again but, if I can't access about.config, I won't be able to get the computer back to working the way I want (status bar at bottom of screen, etc.). Is there some other way I can try to access the about.config page?
