How to Opt-Out of verizon's marketing services?

Does anyone know how or where to find the page where you can elect to opt-out of their marketing?

Are you kidding me? Everything about Verizon is MARKETING, even in this place! You cannot escape it! When you call Customer Service, or Account Services, you're actually talking with a SALES agent whose only job is to SELL you something... anything, even if you don't even request it, or give authorization. They couldn't care less about your troubles or services, as long as they can meet their "SALES QUOTA" for the day and cash in their bonuses!

Can I opt out of Verizon Selects and still earn Rewards?

Verizon Rewards sounds like a great idea, but I don't want to be sharing my information about everything that I do with any company, let alone a marketing company that will target me with ads, etc. I just want to be rewarded for being with Verizon for more than a decade... sometimes it feels like no company has any respect for customer loyalty.
So, can I join Verizon Rewards and opt out of Verizon Selects to protect my privacy?
Thanks,
Dave

According to their website and the page about signing up for Verizon Rewards:
"Participation in Smart Rewards may require enrollment in Verizon Selects, which personalizes marketing customers may receive from Verizon and other companies by using information about customers' use of Verizon products and services including location, web browsing and app usage data."
It says "may require enrollment", but I don't know whether or not that means that it will, or that I will opt out. There's another discussion on here somewhere that asks this same question, and the Verizon rep's response was "We'll send you a private message", which bothers me... why can't they discuss it on that post?

How to Opt-out CPNI (Customer Proprietary Network Information or CPNI)

I have tried the phone but could not wait any longer for an available agent after about half an hour (18888258111). The community forum search results show the location Verizon website (My Profile tab under My Verizon -> Phone Control ) but it seemed the website layout has changed since because I could not see the "phone control" section on the my profile page. My ultimate goal is to avoid any of my information gets onto the 3rd party companies' hands which will then be used to harass me and my family through the telemarketing phone calls during dinner time.
Please assist.

As a user TNS_2 noted, the number you listed (18888258111) is NOT in the CPNI-OptOut state list--see: http://www22.verizon.com/about/privacy/cpnitelecom/#phonelist --so you need to double check the number(s) listed for your state.
Even if you do successfully opt out of the CPNI, my guess is that you will still continue to receive telemarketing calls because it's time consuming and annoying to get off their call lists--you have to do all the work. The Federal DoNotCall registry (888-382-1222 or https://www.donotcall.gov/ ) is useless--my number is registered with donotcall and I still get tons of telemarketing calls.
Your options are:
1. When a telemarketer calls you, answer the call and tell them to REMOVE YOUR NUMBER from their calling database.
2. Don't answer the phone--this is somewhat easier if you have Caller-ID. 99.9999% of telemarketers don't leave a phone message so just let it ring until your answering machine or voice mail picks up--if no message is left, it's not important...'-}}
3. Buy a call blocker. This one is well rated--a bit pricey ~$100:

To opt out of Verizon marketing emails:
1. Log in to your Verizon account
2. Once you've successfully logged in and if it is not already selected, click on "My Verizon"
3. On the left side of the screen you should see a number of different options/selections ("Home", "My Services", "Bill & Payment", etc.). Click on the "Profile" option.
4. You should then see--middle of the screen--a series of sections ("Account Settings", "Manage Sub Accounts", etc.). Click on the "Manage" button in the "Email Preference Center" and if you look down towards the bottom, you should see "Opt Out of All Marketing Emails". Click on box in the "Primary" (and "Secondary" if you have one) columns and then click on the "Save" button.
Hope that helps...

Can I opt out of Verizon Selects and continue to earn rewards?

When I signed up for Verizon smart rewards I also had to sign up for Verizon selects. Can I now opt out of Verizon selects and continue to earn rewards with Verizon smart rewards?

If they do get more competition, I do suspect they will quickly change their tune. But for now, they certainly act more like a utility monopoly than a free market competitor.

How To Use Your Own Router with Out Loosing Verizon's FIOS Services

How to use your own router with Verizon’s FIOS Service
First, you need a basic understanding of how FIOS works but unfortunately there are two types of FIOS systems out there. All of the systems utilize a fiber optic cable to bring TV, phone and internet to your location over one optic cable. In addition these systems provide interactivity including widgets, remote DVR, movies on demand and so forth via an IP (Internet Protocol) signal. Your STB (Set Tip Box) requires both a video and IP signal. The IP signal is necessary for all of the aforementioned interactivity. The fiber cable terminates at the Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short. The ONT converts the optics into a digital signal that can be utilized by ones equipment. From the ONT your video, phone and internet are provided to the location. This is where things can differ as the internet signal can be provided via a coaxial (MoCA or Multimedia over Coax Alliance) or RJ45 Cat5 (Ethernet) cable. It is important to identify and understand the differences of these two setups. In my case I have my internet entering via Ethernet cable, which in my humble opinion makes things a heck of a lot easier.
How does one tell the difference? In most cases it’s rather simple; just look at the Verizon’s router WAN (Wide Area Network) Port. Does it have a RJ45 (Ethernet) or Coax (TV cable Cord) going to it? If the router’s WAN port doesn’t have a coaxial connector then one will need to convert the MoCA signal into a usable Ethernet signal that routers understand. The easiest way is to use Verizon’s router as a bridge. In this method the Verizon’s router simply converts the signal and passes it along to your own router. The challenge is to try to maintain the interactivity that FIOS TV provides. Because of this one needs to supply the IP routed signal back to the FIOS router. There are multiple methods for doing this and I would recommend investigates which one make the most sense.
In my particular case the IP signal was provided by Ethernet. Again there are various ways of installing one’s own router. The hardest is to utilize Verizon’s router as a bridge. This setup requires configuring Verizon’s router as a bridge and also creating a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks). In addition one needs to set up their own router so it will work with the various routing tables and networks. For me this is too complex for the average person and it can be difficult to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. Please consider that Verizon will not support utilizing third party routers.
The easier method is to request an Ethernet signal (if you don’t already have one) from their ONT. I would highly recommend getting your hands on a NIM or Network Interface Module. This device is used to convert Ethernet to Coaxial so it can be fed back to your STBs. These can be purchased online and Verizon technicians can be a valuable resource with these sorts of acquisition. At the very least they can point you to the right direction. Once you have a NIM the rest is rather simple.
Log into the current Verizon Router.
Located the router’s MAC address and copy it down.
Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules.
Example:
Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
Application & Ports Forward: Application UDP Any -> 6347
Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.
Look at your current device list, typically found on the home screen. Copy down your STB MAC and IP address.
Example:
IP-STB1
Connection Type: Ethernet
* IP Address: 192.168.1.100
IP Address Allocation: DHCP
*MAC Address:                07:73:fFe:ad:8b:3f
* Things you will need to write down
Go to the network section and look for the main Ethernet connection. Select this and then select more setting, typically found at the bottom. Release the current lease.
Remove the Verizon router
Install your router
Connect the NIM by plugging in an Ethernet from one of the routers LAN (Local Area Network) ports to your NIM. Then connect the coax cable, the same cable that was used by Verizon router.
Set you DHCP routing IP pool to accommodate Verizon’s STB IP’s (note their IP’s start at 192.168.1.100)
Go to DHCP section and reserve the STB IP’s by inserting the IP’s and MAC addresses. This shall ensure that nothing else utilizes the same IPs as the STBs thereby preventing IP address conflict.
Add the port forwards from Step 5 above.
Clone Verizon’s Mac Address utilizing the info from step 2
Finish setting up the router in typical fashion.
Unplug and re-plugin your STB’s and test functionality. It’s best to try using a widget or Movie on demand function.
Note: if the new router can net get an internet signal contact Verizon’s support and have them release the IP and reset the ONT.
EVERYTHING should be working at this point.

3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules.
Example:
Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
Application & Ports Forward: Application UDP Any -> 6347
Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.G
Your display obviously is not like mine as mine does not dosplay the port associated with the ip address
whatever, the STB's start at 192.168.1.100 and icement by 1 for each
the port addr's will be 63145 alo incrementing by 1
there is 1 entry for each in my pf list
however each ip addr also has a port entry starting at 35000 also incrementing by 1 for each ip addr
For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
Why do you clone the mac addr??

How to opt out of Apple Software Update's Safari installation

I do not have Safari installed on my computer, and I have no interest in installing it or switching to it. However, the Apple Software Updater displays Safari as a selected option every time it runs. I can unselect the option to install Safari, but I don't see any way to remove Safari from the list entirely so that Software Update doesn't keep pestering me about installing Safari every few days. Surely there must be some way to opt out of installing Safari short of uninstalling Software Update and never using it again?

That answer really does not deserve a "solved" star, as we get nagged again for every update of Safari. The ignore "trick" is IMHO merely an inadequate workaround for a nuisance that should not exist.
ASU should UPDATE not shove software I or rather, my userbase does not have installed, down our throats.
Apple should at least have the decency to NOT have Safari Pre-checked in ASU. Yes, M$ has new software in Wondows Update as well (e.g. Silverlight), but at least it's an opt-in update, while Apple force-feeds us Safari which I find beyond annoying.
If M$ would do the same with the next version if IE on Macs, Mac users would scream so loud you would be able to hear it on the ISS.

How to get out of Verizon Contract

I've been a faithful Verizon customer for a long long time. I use to recommend Verizon to all of my friends. However, I have become really disenchanted with this company. It used to be very customer oriented but things have changed. My husband and I have 6 phones on our two accounts. Between the two accounts - it's been one problem after another. The last issues was that we lost one phone and the cost of replacing it is more than an entirely new contract at Sprint! Looking around it seems to make more financial sense to switch to another carrier. The coverage may not be quite as good, but the service is likely to be a lot better. I have a few questions for all of you....
(1) What carriers have the best service?
(2) I am worried about getting the unlock code from Verizon - I understand that carriers try to prevent customers from getting this. Is this legal? How do I go about doing this?
(3) Is there a way to get the ETF reduced if I start another line with Verizon? I mean I am just trying to replace a darn phone!!
(4) Has anyone filed a complaint with the FCC? I understand that they are quite concerned about Early Termination Fees and are beginning to consider various options as this is believed to be coercive. I'd like to find out how to file such a complaint.
It's too bad - I wish Verizon would go back to the way they use to be!!

Best coverage is really subjective based on your location. For example, Verizon is the best in my area, but 20 miles up the road, a local carrier is better.
There was a law recently passed that requires Verizon to unlock a phone when it's out of contract. I'm not sure whether that includes a contract that was terminated.
The ETF is signed on a per line/per phone basis. If you open another line, you're simply going to add to your headache. They typically don't budge on the ETF.
In a sense, you are blaming Verizon for the high cost of cellular devices. They offered insurance when you signed up, and apparently chose not to accept it. That makes you responsible for replacing your device, if you choose to.
Lastly, the FCC has already addressed the ETF issue. It used to be a base ETF no matter how far you were into your contract. Now, you can reduce your $350 ETF by $10 for each completed month. The FCC isn't going to consider another ETF complaint.
I agree, Verizon has really taken a step down when it comes to customer service. That said, I don't feel this is a customer service issue. You chose not to insure your device without doing the research on the actual cost of a device, first.

How to find out my verizon account number and pass code?

Recently I tried to port one Verizon prepaid cellphone number to another carrier. During the porting the carrier asked me to provide the Verizon account number and pass code. How can I get this info?
Thanks.

Just as SuzyQ stated, Verizon Prepaid account numbers should be your mobile number, and as for the passcode, unless changed should be the last 4 digits of your mobile number. If you need more assistance give customer service a call.

How to opt out from Beta updates only?

I would like to receive Firefox updates automatically, but at some point I probably opted in to receive beta updates as well. So now I always get automatically updated to Firefox 6, while I want to stay at official 5.0.1.

Download Firefox 5.0.1, un-install that 6.0 beta, and install 5.0.1.
In the past you installed a 4.0beta or a 5.0beta, and thus ended up on the Beta Channel as a "Beta tester".
'''Do not''' select the option to '''Remove all Firefox data and customizations''' when you un-install 6.0.

How can I opt out of Safari on Apple Update?!

I personally hate Safari and don’t want it on my machine but I want to keep Apple update for ITunes and Quicktime. How can I opt out of Safari updates for good!?
I don’t understand why Apple did this… its very annoying to keep getting this popping up on my computers!
-Aaron

+I should have said I know how to opt out of a single update+
Okay, it sounds like you know about the "Tools > Ignore Selected Updates" trick in ASU.
At this stage, perhaps the thing to do is to make an enhancement request (for the ability to permanently ignore types of update in ASU) direct to Apple using the product feedback forms:
Product Feedback
Since there's no form for ASU itself, probably the best form to use would be the iTunes product feedback form, given that ASU comes as part of the iTunes installer bundle.
(Unfortunately, that's not likely to be a short term solution for you ... but it might produce some results in the medium-term, with any luck.)

Opting out of targeted ads on web pages

I received an email today annoncing I will received targeted ads on web pages, and that I can go to the Verizon site to "opt out". I can't find where to do this.
Please note I am not asking how to opt out of emails from Verizon.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I have no interest in being "targeted". Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I received the same email and I am very distrubed. The thing that bothers me even more than being targeted for ads is how Verizon is purposely making it difficult if not impossible to find the Opt Out Page. As soon as you click on the link it SHOULD take you to the Opt Out Page. It would be VERY EASY for Verizon to set it up this way. But Verizon is requiring you sign in first - once signed in - it does not take you to the page - you have to search for it. Their web site is NOT USER FRIENDLY! I searched for the Opt Out Page, then searched for a way to email or chat with a rep at Verizon. I couldn't find any of it.
Shows a very big lack of integrity and customer service. Will be looking for another carrier to do business with.
