GoPaid prepaid account balance alerts

So I opted to use the the prepaid monthly service plans because it's the only way you can stay out of a 2-year contract.
However, anytime I use email, the browser, SMS, or make a call, I get an alert screen telling me how much of my prepaid account I have left to use. Is there a way to turn that off?

I am seeing these alerts even at hours when I've not used the iPhone. This must be a glitch. I left the iPhone on overnight and had to dismiss around 30 of these alerts this morning. It clearly drains the battery—yesterday morning I woke up to about 85% of battery strength remaining, whereas this morning only about 40% remained. I had to recharge today after only 4 hours and 45 minutes of battery use. I know that all AT&T prepaid phones show these alerts after usage (SMS, phone, etc.) and I don't have a problem with that. In fact, it's kind of cool. But I think Apple & AT&T have to revisit the battery issue in future revisions. It's annoying to have alerts at all hours of the day and night (when you haven't been using your phone) that remind you of your balance! In any case, going the prepaid route has been fantastic, I highly recommend it.

Why does dialing *100# (to check prepaid account balance) work from dialer but not from contacts?

Hello,
to check my prepaid account balance, I can dial *100# and my carrier sends me back a message with the balance information. I used to save this number under my contacts in my "feature phone" and it worked great.
With the ZTE Open from Movistar (Spain), dialing the number from the dialer works, I get the requested message. However, when I save this number under my contacts and I dial it from there, I don't get the requested message.
From the dialer, it doesn't really dial but sends information to the carrier which sends information back. From within the contacts, it seems to be treated as a phone number which is not recognized, and I get some sort of busy tone back.
Can this be settled in some way? This would be very convenient! I guess this is true for the complete target group of FFOS.
Cheers

Going through contacts would probably take just as long as Dialing, But in this case i think it is to do with your Service Provider not the phone itself.
Remember Mozilla only make the OS it is probably your Provider that is making it do that.

Prepaid account balance notification after i send a text or when i recieve one?

Because i have a prepaid account, after i send a text message i get a notification of my account balance and what the last transaction cost. I have att/cingular...
My question is....Is there any possible way to turn the sound off when i get this notification?
I've tried every possible thing i know how to do...I've turned the sound off on my phone and it still "beeps".
I have a blackberry pearl 8100.
Please help!!!

Nope, no way. ATT is going to send those and I "think" they come via SMS.
You would need to either disable your SMS notifications.
Or maybe create an exception in the profiles so that only SMS from ATT are silent, but I don't think this is possible.

Prepaid account balance reducing due to GPRS charges.

Hello. I am from India using Reliance GSM prepaid service on my BB curve 9380. I am facing a problem. I only use BBM 129 plan which is for BB Messenger only, it does not include net surfing or social networking which i don't use also. But my prepaid ac balance is reducing automatically due to gprs charges.I can't figure out why this is happening.will you please help me out to solve this problem? thanks in advance.

Hello soumyaghosh4u
Apart from BBM do you watch any streaming videos like Youtube on your BlackBerry ? Or using any map application like Google Maps ? If you're then those will incur gprs charges .

IPhone on Prepaid plan pointless account balance messages

We've been discussing this issue on the ATT forums, but I feel that the only way to get it addressed it by Apple.
Currently if you are on the prepaid plan you receive account balance notices after every transaction (Phone call, Mail Check, Web Browsing).
Since the iPhone has an unlimited data plan you account balance doesn't change any time you access the edge network. Unfortunately ATT still sends you a message notifying you your account balance has not changed.
At first this isn't a big issue. Dismiss the message (Which you have to do before you can access ANYTHING on your phone) and continue on. The problem is if you have your phone checking for email (which is one of the point of having a phone like the iPhone), you'll receive a message every time your phone hits the network.
These messages can pile up and this morning I had to clear 15+ messages before I could use my phone. Talk about a terrible user experience.
Also if a balance message is present while a call comes in the screen doesn't respond. You first have to lock the phone by hitting the sleep/wake button, then unlock it again hitting the same button. It took me a while to figure out what was going on with that situation.
At the bottom of the page there is a link to the ATT support thread.
Please don't reply with ... We'll just get a contract and the messages will stop. I don't want to be on a contract plan. I enjoy the prepaid plan. It works for me.
So here is what I am looking for.
1) Can the messages be stopped on the iPhone side
2) If not, could Apple add a "Dismiss All" option. That would (for me at least) be an acceptable solution.
3) Why do the messages lock the screen when there is an incoming call?
Thanks for all your help. At the least I am hoping this will make Apple aware of the problems and get them addressed

There are a few points which I think need to be aired on this issue: that pre-paid is a perfectly viable option for the iPhone, that AT&T will do nothing to solve this issue, and that Apple, alone, can and should.
If pre-paid is an option both AT&T and, for less understandable reasons, Apple want to discourage, then may God help all of us pre-paid consumers. However, Apple should be interested in selling iPhones, and the deal to receive money from AT&T from subscribers is a problem, because is lessens Apple's motivation to tolerate iPhones being used as pre-paid phones, unlocked, you name it.
That said, pre-paid is a great option for those who use very few minutes (like me), who may be well-to-do foreigners only staying in America for a limited time, or who are uncertain if AT&T is a viable carrier. Tolerating it also projects a sense of respect for the consumer that Apple's target market would appreciate. I know I do.
AT&T, though, receives less of a commitment from consumers on pre-paid, and thereby less expected money, so they will do everything to fight it.
Apple, however, can easily modify their software to politely receive these notifications from AT&T, and then only inform the user if they choose to be so informed of the account balance in the iPhone's settings, or, even better, go into a spread-sheet like "Balance history" tab to explicitly view this information.
This is what Apple can do. It may take them a couple of man-hours to roll this into the next iPhone software update, but Apple: consider this worth it in light of being able to portray yourself as being on the consumer's side in the consumer-carrier tug-of-war that this, on however small a scale, has become.

Account Balance Zeroed Out 2013-12-21

My wife's prepaid wireless account balance of $293+ was zeroed out today for some reason.
Calling either of the customer service number provided only results in prompts to add money to the account, and of course, nobody uses their phone on the weekend, so there's no humans around.
Why did I think this would never happen sooner or later with Verizon?

I figured I'd come back with an update.
I have two phone accounts, they both are on autopay, and they both draw payments from a single Amex account on the same day of the month. This never caused a problem before.
The theory is that Verizon submitted the two transactions to Amex so close together that Amex considered them duplicates.
This is plausible given the fact that two "pre-authorization" transcations hit the Amex account, but only one ended up being paid.
So I've moved up the payment date on one of the accounts. I made a manual payment to restore the account and Verizon has said they will restore the funds that expired; hopefully that will occur in timely fashion.

Prepaid Account Question

What is the down side to having a prepaid account? That 2 year contract was the only thing I hated about the iPhone. Thanks!

What is the down side to having a prepaid account?
That 2 year contract was the only thing I hated
about the iPhone. Thanks!
I've been in contracts for the past 4 years and found myself never used up all the minutes to justify what I paid for. So I went with Gophone this time. It turns out that $29 voice call + $4.99 200 SMS is more than enough for my normal usage.
With my iPhone, I only pay about $10 more than what I used to. Having to pay 10$ for unlimited data is a pretty good deal imo.
So the upsides would be
1. Paying less each month than postpaid plan IF you have light phone usage. That is $29+$19 (+$4.99 for 200 SMS), comparing to the $59 entry level plan.
2. No need to pay activation fee, which is $36 on the first billing cycle.
3. FREEDOM! You can cancel whenever you want. As the iPhone get unlock, you can then... cough..
BUT the downside is this
You will get these nagging message reminding you how much money you have in your balance, even when you're not doing anything that would count toward it. You will get the most stupid messages saying that your last transaction costs you $0 every 10-20 mins!!!
AT&T CSR told me last time I called that they're working on it and this is the #1 issue that they heard of from prepaid customers. Apple does acknowledge this problem as well. So let's cross our fingers and hope we will get this fix in the next update.

I can no longer see the account balance on my iTunes gift card. Why?

Where can I find the account balance from my iTunes gift card, on my macbook pro, in the iTunes store?

Thank you responding. (you're the only response I received). I did, and was doing, as you suggested. Before the latest iTunes update, I was able to see my account balance (a whopping $9.98), but can no longer see the amount. I've tried logging out and back into iTunes to no avail. Same goes on my iPhone and iPod, and iPad. The system keeps asking for credit card info, but I'm hesitant to do that. (That's why we purchase iTunes gift cards, isn't it ?) !
Anyway, Thank you for your assistance. Next stop is the local Apple Store and see what the Genus bar can do. !!

Query help on totalling 2 account balances

Hi Experts,
I have the following query:
SELECT SUM(T0.[SYSDeb] - T0.[SYSCred]) AS 'Production'
FROM JDT1 T0 INNER JOIN OJDT T1 ON T0.TransId = T1.TransId WHERE T0.[Account] = '_SYS00000000238' AND T0.[Account] = '_SYS00000000239'
If I add the second WHERE statement the query gives me no results. I want to see the total of the 2 account balances in this query.
Any help would be appreciated.
Marli

Hi Marli,
Try this:
SELECT SUM(T0.SYSDeb - T0.SYSCred) AS 'Production'
FROM JDT1 T0
WHERE T0.Account in ('_SYS00000000238','_SYS00000000239')
Thanks,

Unable to activate new phone on my prepaid account

I have a replacement phone to add to my existing prepaid account. I followed the directions via the phone number to activate it online. However, I get a message "My Verizon is temporarily unavailable as we work to improve our system to serve you better. We apologize, please try again later". I have been trying this for several hours. There was no Live help available for prepaid customers. So I contacted Live help via the sales page (knew they'd be there). They sent me to prepaid customer service (supposedly), but after waiting online for 5 minutes, I was informed by that rep that she could not access a prepaid account and gave me a second phone number to try. I asked if this would connect me with a person and she said yes. However, it sent me to an automated message that gave me 2 choices- go back to main menu or hang up! So, I dialed the 3rd phone number- provided in my phone's manual. Entered my current number, phone MEI & SIM numbers and it automated response says that it was sending me to a customer service rep- then I get a message that I was disconnected and needed to redial that number- which I didn't have! Worst most ineffective, fraudulent service I have ever encountered. I have funds sitting in my prepaid account being held by Verizon and cannot activate the new phone with my existing number. How do I activate this phone? If my only option is going to a service center- then Verizon should be telling existing customers that instead of deliberately giving out the wrong information.

It doesn't. I was able to load in phone information(MEI/ SIM) and the prompt said it was sending me to a customer service rep, but it disconnected and I only got a message saying to redial that number (that I was robo- forwarded to).
I have attempted online, live chat, called *611, *22898, 555-294-6804, 866-893-7723, and 877-777-5759. Nothing works. Will head to verizon center and have them clear phone so I can return. Will probably switch to a new carrier and another new phone.

Currency Valuation G/L Account Balance Sheet Posting F.05

Hi all,
Is there a way to post the Currency Valuation F.05 for G/L account balance sheet posting to another account than itself.
I cannot find any configuration on that, and a trace look to show that it goes back to SKA1,
SKAT & SKB1.
Open item have configuration in OBA1 and we can fix the posting where we want.
But the currency valuation for the account balance always happen to the same account.
Thank you,
Carole

Bal.sheet adj.1 in OBA1 is for that only. The GL account is for Identifying that this is FC account in case of Valuation Loss/ Gain.
Incase of realized loss or gain, it is the same GL account that has to hit in the local currency.

Display account balances for vendor PO's and GRPO's

In the BP Master, there is a display for customers of the account balance, open orders, deliveries, and opportunities. But for vendors there is only an account balance. There should be a similar display for open PO's and GRPO's.

Hello Marcia,
Maybe you can have a try with Drag&Relate function then use Filter to just include Open PO/GRPO only, the total amount will be displayed at the bottom of Drag&Relate result window.
Howeve this is not as convenient as the open balance field directly showed on BP Master Data field.

You can do this with WD dynamic programming.
You can do with domodifyview badi for accounting component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.
You need to handle both views 'V_DO_ACCOUNTING' and 'V_DO_ACCOUNT_DETAIL' in the domodifyview badi implementation.
