How long does it really take to get my unlimited data plan back?

So Wednesday morning I go into a local Verizon owned-and-operated store to buy a Galaxy S5 on installment plan, like I did for my GS4 a year ago. Get talked into an Edge phone plan and the More plan, and they get that unlimited data plan off my line as fast as possible and then find that I can't get Edge for another 3 weeks. So we revert the changes (in theory), less than half an hour after the original change.
So I'm just standing there reading twitter and waiting for them to fix the situation and get me back to where I was when I walked in. I was actually willing to go ahead and buy a GS5 on installment plan (as I'd wanted to when I came in), but they *really* did not want me to do that. They got the voice plan back, and put me on a 2GB plan (which is 1/3 of my average usage), telling me I'd be back on my unlimited plan with hotspot service "by the end of the business week."
Today as I'm checking at the end of the business week, no sign of my data plan or hotspot service. The folks on the social media team tell me that my service might be crippled for another 10 days while an offline team tries to fix what the folks in the store broke.
Am I really out of luck for two weeks? I got a GS5 on T-Mobile with 5GB of data, which will get me by... TMO didn't seem offended that I wanted a GS5. But if I have to "be careful" with my data (as the store manager put it) on Verizon for two weeks, I may as well forward the phone and power it off.
At least I know never to set foot in this particular Verizon store again... last year they wouldn't sell me a GS4 "in case someone came in and wanted to upgrade" so I went to another nearby location. If my plans get unbroken, I'll either go to that other location or check eBay for my GS5.

Think of this and be amazed. If Verizon is trying its best to get customers off unlimited data by any means possible, and quite frankly tell you once you purchase any device on subsidy or the Edge program you lose unlimited. Now the Worry Free Guarantee states within 14 days if you change your mind you can pay a $35 restocking fee, and go back to your old plan.
However they no longer offer unlimited data so they give you this line of it has to be set back manually (inactive price request) and then it gets denied. Then they say it has to be submitted again for approval and then it gets denied. So why have a worry free guarantee?
And think to yourself, a plan they can remove in minutes takes them weeks to give back? They don't give it back. Search the forum.
Good Luck

  • How long does it really take to get a book into the ibookstore?

    Hello All,
    I delivered my epub to Apple on March 26th and for the first 34 days my books status had a single red icon, book in review for quality assurance. I continued to wait and last week to my horror, I had two red icons, with a new message of Unknown Issue. It has now been 43 days since I delivered my Ebup which had no problems or errors noted when it uploaded. Ironically, the book is on Amazon and Barnes and Noble which both took less than 48 hours from delivery to being available for sale (and it is selling).
    Lastly, (can you sense my frustrated ?) my book is a positive story about my 26 year friendship with Steve Jobs who in 1984 sent me the first Imac 128K with a note to "Be part of the future". The book can be found here -> http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Photographers-Improbable-Journey-ebook/dp/B007G1B3TS /ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336410606&sr=8-1

    Surely you've seen some of the on-going threads on this topic?
    Once my book is uploaded, how long before it appears in iTunes?
    As far as suggestions go...be patient.

  • How long does it usually take to get added raw support (nex5n)?  i pretty much just use aperture 3 and love it but why does lightroom from adobe seem to get raw support faster than Apple's Aperture 3.  Also FCPX lacks v Adobe on 60p.

    How long does it usually take to get raw support for Aperture 3?  Is it slowed by Apple or camera company.  I only ask because Lightroom has support for nex5n raw but Aperture 3 does not.  Also direct import into Adobe premiere  and ability to edit in 60p.  However, support for 60 p not as easily worked with in FCPX.  I am just surprised Apple does not keep pace with these type of updates that Adobe does.  Don't get me wrong I love and use Apple software  when I can but I wish Apple was ahead of adobe in getting this support.  I guess more of a vent than a question.

    Yes, more of a vent.
    FWIW I agree. 
    Camera companies keep RAW specs confidential so firms like Apple and Adobe have to (sort of) reverse-engineer to develop RAW converters for each new camera. The good news is to my eyes/brain Apple usually does a slightly better job at it than Adobe does. The best RAW conversions (logically) come from the camera manufacturers.
    Apple gives up market share with slow support for new cameras. IMO really DUMB. It has at least been improving...

  • How long does it typically take to get a solution?

    When using the disscusion board, how long does it take to get a solution?  Also, is this service adequate to cover most inquiries?  How does it work when you need support at 2 AM on Saturday?

    Well, there are no guarantees.
    If you look at the names, there are regular guys and blue guys, the blue guys are NI people. Regular guys such as me are just volunteers trying to help out because it is fun. There are many contributors with 10+ years of LabVIEW programming experience, so the collective knowledge and intelligence of this board is quite high and it is very likely that you'll get an excellent answer pretty fast. Participants are from all over the world, so even at your 2am it will be a more reasonable time somewhere else.
    Next to the name are some yellow (or blue)  bars that indicate seniority based on the number of posts, ratings received, etc, so if there are multiple answers pick the one from a more trusted source.
    As in real life, the quality of the answer is strongly dependent on the quality of the question. Start with a captivating title related to the core of the question and not something generic such as "please help", labview question", or similar. Explain your problem as detailed as possible, what you are trying to do, what results you expect, what errors you see, etc., not just "it does not work". Many times it is easiest to attach a simplified version of your program. Make sure to put some annotations on the diagram pointing out the problem you see. Put some reasonable default values in the controls so we can run it with real data.
    So, just go ahead and ask, it's free!
    Of course there are also premium support options if you want more traditional support with case numbers and live telepone help. Contact your NI rep for details.

  • How do I get my unlimited data plan back

    Upgraded my phone at a verizon booth in a SAM's club and was told that nothing would change on my plan. They activated the phone and got everything all set up so I didn't skip a beat. A couple days later I receive a text from VZW that I was close to going over my data minutes so knew something was wrong. Called VZW and sure enough was told that unlimited data was not longer provided and since I upgraded my phone I lost the plan. I explained I had not been given that piece of information and if had I would not have changed phones as the unlimited data is more important to me. The VZW I talked with was verify helpful and said I should have been told, that since I was not told he would send a request to corporate to get the unlimited data back for me. He even bumped me up from 2G to 5G with no cost to me so that during the 48 hours that this could take I wouldn't incur any costs. I was so very pleased and assumed all was ok. Then yesterday I receive another text from VZW again telling me my data was close to going over my plan. Surprised I called VZW today and again talked with a rep who was very pleasant but informed me that the request sent to corporate was rejected and guess what, I wasn't informed and now it is past the 14 days so I can't return the phone and re-establish my plan back to how it was prior to the new phone. I was told I had been sent a email telling me this was rejected but I have no record of an email. I don't understand why I get texts when I' close to going over data but they wont send a text to tell me a request has been rejected and this is sent to some bogus email account that I'm not aware of or even a notification sent where I can go into my vzw account and call up the notification of reject... nothing... then I'm told the only way I can get in touch with corporate is to via mail.... really.... a company that's business is smart phones, who communicates with me via texts, emails, and I can't get in touch with them other then mail. So because I upraded my phone, I am now under a 2 year contract again, so can't just cancel my account without penalty and I have no unlimited data. How is that customer service.

    Yes I was told I could return my phone within 14 days; however, when the vzw customer service rep I toalked with told me they agreed I should have been told this important piece of information and submitted an "Inactive Price Request" to Corporate on my behalf, I assumed after the 48 hour waiting period that my data had been restored since I was NOT NOTIFIED by vzw that they had rejected the request. By the time I was texted again from vzw that I was close to exceeding my data plan it was past the 14 days and vzw will not honor returning the phone at this point. What I find interesting is the vzw is great about sending text and emails when a person is close to exceeding or exceeding their plan however they were not able to send me a text or email telling my they had rejected my request to reinstate my unlimited data plan. A bit sneeky and unprofessional in my opinion.

  • How long does it really take for fios

    My condo just posted signs that fios is available ( the exact verbatum is "serivice will be hooked onto existing customers lines"). What dies that mean? I can not get direct tv because of where my balcony sits so I have nothing. Anyone know how long it takes to install verizon fios?

    There are two types of installations used in condos. 
    Fiber to the unit where they run microduct and fiber to each unit.  The ONT is installed in your unit.  TV, internet and phone are distributed from the ONT.
    A centralized Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU) install.  A MDU ONT is installed in a common area.  TV is delivered over existing coax.  Internet is devlivered from the ONT via your phone lines using VDSL.
    From the statement  "serivice will be hooked onto existing customers lines", it sounds like you are getting an MDU installation.]
    Once the MDU ONT is in place, getting service is simply a matter of scheduling a tech to come out to cut over your coax and phone lines to the ONT.

  • How long does it usually take to get problems fixed ?

       I've been putting up with these HP problems long enough,,, So can someone please tell me how long it might take to get them
    solved ??? ,,, days,,,weeks,,,or months,,,??? I promise I'm not trying to be a smart *word filter evasion* .    Thanks,,, Ray_50

    You need to keep reporting the fault. Normally BT fix phone faults within three days but as it is a line fault it will be up to Openreach to do this. When you report the fault do it as a phone fault and do not mention your broadband.
    You could also try reporting it to Openreach 0800 0232023 and they may do something about it.

  • How long does it generally take to get a confirmation email?

    I got my ipod today, and to my dismay I have to go through an annoying registering process. Did that, and now I've been waiting for a confirmation email. For something like an hour. This is silly, how long ought this take?

    Jfyi, I've registered as many as 12 iPods over the years and never got a confirmation email for any of them.
    Why are you so bothered?

  • How long does a case take to get closed

    I called tech support 2 weeks ago and a supervisor opened a case. Should it have been resolved by now?  He was supposed to contact me and keep me up to date, but I have not heard anything. When I called customer support today they were not much help.

    Usually just a few days... they very seldom (if ever) repair them. You'll usually get either a new or refurbished replacement.

  • HT4623 How long does ios 7 take time to download ?

    How long does ios 7 take time to download???
    For my ipad mini it says 28 hours and my iPhone 4S it says 68 hours!!!
    Why???

    Diavonex:
    My apologies.  I meant to say iOS 7.02, but I guess my wishful thinking for 7.03 being out there got in the way.
    BTW, it took me the better part of 1/2 hour to install 7.02 over top of my existing 7.0 iPad 3rd-gen installation.
    Some suggestions (if not outright hints and tips) for everyone when you upgrade your iPads:
    Make sure you keep at least about 1-2 GBs of free space on your iPad AFTER installing iOS 7 or later, otherwise you may risk seeing your performance suffer big-time.
    I like filling my 64 GB iPad bucket with apps, and shortly after I finished downloading a couple of really HUGE games to fill that remaining 3.5 GBs of space that I had after upgrading from iOS 6 to iOS 7 (notably, Asphalt 8, Megapolis HD, etc), things REALLY started to slow down, and, most importantly, SCREW up, leading to crashes if I opened apps, crashes and restarts just updating apps, even crashes if I swiped to unlock and change a few basic settings
    Hoping some of these performance issues will be addressed in a future iOS 7.1 upgrade, or, at least, we see recognition and guidelines of where this water line should be from Apple.  My guess is, if they do this, they will get about one gazillion articles from the Apple journo community, not to mention a boatload of complaints.
    My gut instinct is saying at least about 1-2 GBs is where this presumably critical operational waterline is, but depending on your iPad, your mileage may vary, so this is just a heads-up and to keep an eye on your usage and storage stats if you see your performance take a hit without warning.
    My current solution: Start deleting apps until you get back to that 1-2 GB free zone level.  I didn't even need to restart to see my performance improve to something approaching enjoyable, if not tolerable.

  • How long does it normally take to convert from PDF to Excel files?

    How long does it normally take to convert from a PDF to Excel files?

    Sara-
    I did see your response.  Thanks.  The other thing that happened was after I enabled Adobe on my Dell it apparently knocked out my Mozilla.  Now I can't get internet connection unless I use Internet Explorer which I would prefer not to.  I'm going to visit our IT folks tomorrow and see if I can get some of this resolved.
    The PDF files I obtained that I am trying to transfer to Excel may be too complex because there is a great deal of extraneous text information in the basic document that lies outside of the tables I want to transfer.  I'm going to try and highlight the tables only and see if this works.
    Thanks for taking the time answering.
    Best,
    Henry

  • How long does an iPad take to ship on average

    how long does an iPad take to ship on average?

    Hello 
    Welcome to the EE Community! It's really difficult to say. As you made the order on Wedsnesday, and rang them on Thursday, where they said it was being processed, I imagine you'll receive it early next week. You should receive an e-mail from UK Mail the day before delivery, but other than that it'll be quite difficult to say exactly when it will be delivered. Keep an eye on your e-mails and you should hopefully be receiving your brand new S6 early next week... very jealous of you!  Cheers,
    Titanium
