  • How do i get in touch with Verizon when I'm out of the country?I am in Ecuador and cannot get in touch with Verizon to end my service!

    We moved to Ecuador and need to get in contact with Verizon to end our service.  The number they provided does not work.  ONE time it worked.  I dont know why it doesnt now.  Also the chat line is not ever available when I am on line.
    When I did talk they said they ended my service and that I just needed to pay the $200 to end the contract.  But when i  go on line to my bill, they are charging me another months usage it looks like.  I dont know what to do anymore.  any suggestions?

  • How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

    How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
    Is this possible? I don't see any options?
    All I see is this:
      Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for  
       transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
          Your bill is ready for review.
         Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been  received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
         Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

    What phone?
    You would need to disable data on the phone itself.  You wouldn't do it online on your account.
    Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

  • We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

    To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
    1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone.  If it's already unlocked skip to step 2.  This works and will work even if you update the phone. 
    1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
    2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
    3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
    4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
    Everything should work flawlessly at this point.  If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can.  I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

  • How do I turn off conversation mode in text messaging.

    How do I turn off conversation mode in text messaging. i want my messages in sequential order.
    It is a galaxy s3

        Hi Catchingup
    I can answer this question for you.You can't change the stock messaging application to turn off the conversation mode. You may be able to download a 3rd party application for messaging that could assist you with this feature.
    Thank you

  • I cannot receive phone calls or messages when iPhone screen is locked

    Hello,
    i have an iPhone 5.
    i Am unable to receive phone calls or text messages when my screen is locked. When I unlock the screen the missed call doesn't even appear so I have no idea anyone has called me. Text messages come through at about 12:30am every night.
    i Have tried EVERYTHING I could find in forums and Apple trouble shooting. This is my last resort other than sending it to Apple.
    iit is as if "do not disturb" is stuck on, but it isn't.
    i Have tried:
    changing all all do not disturb settings.
    checked call forwarding etc.
    checked mute
    my silent button is not on.
    i have reset every setting and then even reset the phone and manually transferred everything back onto it rather than restore It from previous back ups.
    oout it in recovery mode.
    i Have no success with any.
    the weird part is when I first lock the screen and try to call it, it does ring. But if I give it a minute or more it won't ring.
    does anyone have any ideas or anything that may help?
    PLease, please, please

    I Have also checked blocked numbers and swapped SIM cards from a completely different carrier so it's not the carrier either

  • My Ipad 2 verifies my email address on the ipad2 but I can not send or receive meassages. What is the fix?

    My Ipad2 verifies my email address on it but I can not send or receive messages. How do I fix this?

    I had this problem also. Yesterday, i called my e-mail provider. Turns out I had to change the port numbers in both the incoming and outgoing servers to numbers specific to that provider. Solved the problem.

  • How do i contact a verizon representative when I'm out of the country?  *611 doesn't work, neither does the 800

    Help - I have no idea how to contact a representative - I used to call the 800 # but now it just refers me to *611 which I can't do out of the country, and I've had no success with the live chat on their website (doesn't appear to be working) - I'm also not on facebook, twitter, or google + - how am I supposed to get ahold of someone out of the country?

    Use their calling card option. See International Support - Verizon Wireless.

  • HT1338 I just updated my system to 10.6.8.  New computer just out of the box, but I wanted to download Numbers from the App store and it says I need 10.7.4.  How do I get this update?

    I have a new IMac, purchased from my Dad that he never used.  I just did the latest update to 10.6.8.  I wanted to get "Numbers" on the computer from the App Store but it says I need 10.7.4.   How do I get this?  Everytime I try update it goes to 10.6.8.  I am new to Apple and struggling a bit.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, you must install the DVD version of iWork. If you previously got a compatible version of Numbers from the Mac App Store, go to its home page and click on Support under Quick Links.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, try purchasing Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store. If you get told that it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.
    If upgrading to 10.7 or 10.8 requires any other upgrades or replacements(they both require at least 2GB RAM and don't support PowerPC-only software such as Office 2004), it may be cheaper to buy and install the DVD version of iWork even if your computer can be upgraded to use the Mac App Store version.

  • I used to have a mobile me account to use when I travel.  I have an older power mac G5.  How can I get into my email when I am out of the country.  My computer is too old to use I cloud.  I have updated it as far as I can with operating systems.

    I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/  I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.  I am unable to use the cloud.  I used to have a Mobileme account and used it when I traveled to foreign countries yo read email.  I do not know how to acess my email when traveling now.  My email address is through mac.com.  Please advise as there must be a way.  We are traveling to South America soon for about a month and I need to know how to access my email from afar.
    Thanks!

    Hi Margaret,
    I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/  I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.
    I think you updated to Leopard/10.5.x, Snow Leopard/10.6 is Intel only.
    Actually you're in luck, you can still use iCloud for eMail on PPC using 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, but it must be IMAP, not POP...
    iCloud Mail setup...
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    One secret I think is when setting it up don't choose the .me/.mac type, it'll auto fill in .mac as the server which won't work, go back afterwards & change the servers.

  • HT1807 How can I turn off everything, data, roaming, text messages, and phone calls, without shutting off my Wifi aswell?

    I am travelling and I would still like to get Wifi on my phone but i have no set up plan for anything else so I do not want the charges. Is there a way to turn everything off except for my connection to different Wifis?
