Help! international bill is over $1000 !!

I recently had to leave the US on a last minute request from my employer and spend a month in Aberdeen, Scotland. I didnt have the benefit of a whole lot of planning since I had too leave at the spur of the moment. However I made time to stop at a Verizon location an discuss my concern. He explained it as if with the supposed plan I was told to get that I would be fine. I was even told that should my usage/overages become equal to my monthly bill, that i would recieve a text message to contact Customer Service. Well needless to say this never happened. I was sure after a few calls, that id get a text, but i didnt. I had my wife call and ask about an international plan and to select the one that the Customer Service Rep thought would fit our needs. Because at this point im already overseas and concerned with having a way to communicate for taxis, ect. Well they added two sets of different Global Value rates and Data. There was also suppose to have usage/overage limits..............well that didnt happen either.
Now I am waiting on reimbursement from my employer which takes 45 to 60 days, but im not sure yet how to handle this outrages bill. I am put on hold for an hour at a time and just dont have time to sit and wait. I work 12 hours a day, have 2 ACTIVE kids and a sick wife. How am I suppose to deal with this matter?
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Respestfully,
cher.joe

    Hi Cher.joe,
Thanks for the details! We know how important it is to have accurate bill charges especially while travelling. When you were in the store did you agree to change the plan at that time? If so, have you stopped back in the location to see why the representative never changed the plan? Which two sets of global rates were added?
Thanks,

  • My bill is over $1000 for less than 2 months charges

    Hello I have a 3G verizon USB modem. I pay around $100 per month and have been a loyal customer for 5 years. Recently I received a bill for $700 charges. I called verizon and they said a larger than normal amount of data charges were appearing. Apparently my child was watching Netflix through his computer. I immediately cancelled the plan as it seemed ridiculous that I was never informed that I had gone so far above my plan limits. (Friday) .Yesterday , a day later I was called asking that a payment of $1100 be made ASAP. The billing cycle doesn't even end until July but I am being asked to pay before that even ends! I already threw out the modem so that it can't be used ever again. How can verizon in good conscious charge so much for overages to someone who has been a good customer for 5 years. And further how can verizon ask for a payment - calling me before the payment  is due? Also the man said if i dont pay it will end up in collection! it will end up in collections before the payment is even due? ive never been late in payments and even had a credit on my last bill!If I was given a phone call about the overages... My bill wouldn't be so high! Why did they know my number when collecting money but not when my usage went up 4 times it's normal usage? I feel I should not have to pay these overages! I have no problem paying the higher rate for  more data used for the 2 months but not the overages! Can someone please help me?

    Not that it's your business but my credit score is in the low 800s on all the credit bureaus. I just bought a house so I know exactly what my credit is mad although not excellent it's very good!i don't want Verizon to be my friend or my mom but it was a  mistake made in a months time so they could make it so I upgraded to higher plan and have me pay that rate for this months bill. I'm not trying to get out of paying, I get it. I just think $1000'for a month of net flicks is ridiculous! It's almost as much as my mortgage!

  • Verizon changed my plan to one over $1000/mth without my consent......

    First, let me say that I have been a loyal Verizon Wireless customer for something like 12 years now.
    I noticed that mine and my wife's plan went from around $140 per month to around $180/month in Nov and Dec 2014.  On January 2nd, I called and talked with man at Verizon who told me that for some reason our two phone lines were changed from a combined plan to separate plans--that is why the cost increase.  He could not tell my why or who made that change but he would only add a $25 credit back to our account and said he was putting us on a combined plan for $140/month with 10 gigs data.  Great!  I wanted more credit back but oh well.......
    Then, I get a text around 2 weeks later that says my upcoming Verizon bill is over $1100.  WHAT!!!!????  I immediately call and get a nice woman at Verizon who tells me that the previous gentleman that I called put me on an 80 gig plan that costs over $1000/month.  She was very sorry and after something like an hour with her on the phone she said: a) the previous gentlemen who put me on that plan would get talked to by management, b) she would put me on that $140/month 10 gig plan, c)she would submit a request for the $1000+ credit to my account that would take 3-4 days to be approved.
    Next, I checked my account balance over the next two weeks and called a couple of times and each time was told that the request would definitely go through but hadn't yet.
    Then, I went to a corporate Verizon Store ( a one hour drive since I live in rural Montana) because I thought that a face-to-face conversation might help.  I was told the same thing.  The request for credit/refund was in and would be approved soon.  I should be patient.  It was their fault but it was a large amount so takes time.
    Finally, I just got a text message showing a credit had come through. Only it was not for $1000+ that I was charged for Verizon's mistake.  It was for a measly $125..........and my bill due is still over $1000.  What should I think is going on??  I have a huge outrageous bill due to a mistake by Verizon putting me on a 80 gig plan when I use around 4.5 gigs/month and they refund me 1/10th of their mistake?  Is this how loyal customers of 12 years are treated?  Am I going to have to switch to Straight Talk?  If I wanted bad/non-existent customer service I would already be with Straight Talk.
    Does anyone know who I can talk to to resolve this?  I have not gotten anywhere yet and am getting towards the end of my rope. Is there some kind of federal or state authority that can help me with this?  I really don't want to have to get a lawyer to resolve this.  Please help

    Similar thing happened to me!! Only not as much money as that. Here's the story. I was receiving phone calls from a Jamaica number, each call I ignored. After several attempts I googled this number and learned it was a scam. I then proceeded to put this number on my block list. Well, since it was in my recent history, in my purse, for some reason my phone called the Jamaica number back. When I went to retrieve my phone it said it was on the phone with this number for over an hour. Realizing this I immediately called verizon customer service to tell them what happened and explained that it was not my fault, and that I don't want to be charged for it. The guy said i would not and if something happened to call up and they'll fix it. Well, when I received my bill I was charged $175 for this. I called up verizon, lady said bc it was an outgoing call the charges stood. I said no and talked to supervisor sherika anderson. She assured me that the charges will be dropped and she would just have to wait for approval (24 hrs) and gave me her email if I had problems. I emailed her, she never responded. Called a week later about the same problem. The representative (alan) said the charges will be dropped and I could minus them off my bill and just pay the remaining balance. I checked my online bill a few days later and the charges remained. I called yet again, told the lady the same story, she said she would just need to get it approved by her supervisor and they will be taken off. Spoke to the supervisor who said he'd give me a confirmation number. I received it. Yet AGAIN it was not taken off and I called again (last time) this representative (anita taylor) said that the previous records showed the claim was denied. I said well all the other people and supervisors told me that they would take it off and then why would they say that if in fact it was denied? I called a total of 5 times over this issue, each of them lying to me and telling me it had been taken off. Now I have a late charge for something that THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE OFF MY BILL. I think it is absolutely ridiculous to pay for something I didn't even do. I have been a loyal customer to verizon for 10 years. The minute my contract is over I'm taking my family plan elsewhere.

  • Suspended wifi was unsuspended and bill is over $830!!! anyone else?

    Suspended wifi was unsuspended and bill is over $830!!! anyone else?
    i reported it stolen and somehow it was unsuspended. Shared data warnings queued me into looking at my $450+ data charges! when I suspended services again for the number the System indicated due to billing payment issues I waS UNABLE TO SUSPEND THE ACCOUNT!!! so whomever stole my device can still use it and Verizon is still charging my account for it...I have no proof I suspoended it when I first noticed it missing...seriously irritated. Has anyone else hd this problem????

        Reallyreallyangry1234,
    Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that your device was lost or stolen. I know how frustrating this experience can be, and I want to help clear the confusion.
    If your equipment is lost or stolen, we provide a few great ways to suspend the service, and make sure that no extra usage charges occur. Log into My Verizon online and choose the "Suspend/Resume Service" link under the Quick Links under the Overview Page.  You will then be guided through the steps to either Suspend or Resume your service.  You can also dial *611 from your Verizon Wireless phone or 1-800-922-0204 from any phone and complete the task via our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. I hope this helps! Have a great day.

  • Best solution to convert DOC to over 1000 form-fillable PDF's and apply Javascript

    I need to convert over 1000 MS Word docs to PDF, and make forms interactive with the following JavaScript or other scripting needs:
    40-50 fields per form, link to db connection (SQL)
    command buttons to Add New (new record to db), Update (existing record based on field value), Submit (submit saved pdf file to SharePoint site-must create directory based on field name; save file as field name
    form fields should be clear on open
    I know this is a tall order, but if I could get some direction on code examples, that would be greatly appreciated.
    I have created a db connection and coded to add new record, update record and save file to local directory based on hard coded path, but I need more dynamics on creating network path, filename using Sharepoint

    I would suggest using Acrobat Pro, but Acrobat Standard 9 now includes forms creation capabilities, including adding usage rights. Acrobat can automate the form field creation process by attempting to recognize where form fields would go. You will probably have to make some corrections, but it can help speed up the process.
    Adding a submit button is a simple matter, though submitting via email is often not highly reliable and is generally not secure. Consider setting up the form to submit to a web server for a much more reliable and secure system.
    If you will be including the entire PDF as an attachment to an email, you will need to enable usage rights (i.e., Reader-enable) for each form if it has to work for Reader users. Reader is not normally able to save a modified document, but it can if usage rights are applied.
    If you apply usage rights with Acrobat, you need to be aware of the relevant licensing restrictions. In short, if you will be deploying the form to more than 500 recipients, you may only use information from no more than 500 returned forms, including hardcopies. If fewer than 500 recipients, there are no limits.
    An alternative to emailing the entire document is emailing just the form data, which does not require usage rights. The recipient can use Acrobat to import the form data into a blank form and then save/print.

  • When I try to record videos, the camera doesn't pick up my voice. Is it because I have over 1000 pics/vids?? Because Siri can hear me when I talk to her.... It only doesn't work on videos

    Hi colin3!
    It sounds like you could be having an issue with one of the microphones on your iPhone 5. Your iPhone 5 has three microphones that function together and separately, depending on what is using them.
    Apple - iPhone 5 - It’s so much more. And so much less, too.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
    Enhanced audio on iPhone 5.
    Apple EarPods are just the beginning of the improved audio experience on iPhone 5. It’s designed with three microphones: one on the front, one on the back, and one on the bottom. The front and back mics work together to achieve beamforming — a technique that helps iPhone focus on sound from the desired location for clearer audio. New noise-canceling technology reduces background noise. So when you hold iPhone up to your ear in a loud room, you hear what matters most: the voice on the other end.
    There is an article available that can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further and can guide you to some next steps. That article can be found here:

  • HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported.  If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

    Hi Le Etta,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take a look at the article below, it provides details and instructions for multiple ways of moving the music from an old computer to a new one.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Method
    Considerations
    Home Sharing
    The easiest option, as long as your new computer is already connected to the Internet.
    External drive
    Requires additional hardware but backs up your iTunes library.
    Transferring purchases
    Fastest, but only moves the content you purchased from the iTunes Store. Also requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the content on it.
    Windows Migration Assistant
    Works best for migrating from an old PC to a new Mac, and transfers more than iTunes.
