I have unlimited data, so why do I receive the text stating I've used 50% of my monthly data allowance?
I have unlimited data, so why do I receive the text stating I've used 50% of my monthly data allowance and that my data may be restricted for the remainder of my bill cycle? I've been with Verizon 15+ years and don't think its necessary to be screwed out of my unlimited plan... I heard something last year regarding Verizon limiting the unlimited plan if someone reached a certain point of usage... I'd like to have some clarity on this issue...

call *611 or go to a verizon corporate store and fix it. Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

I have both the iPhone and New iPad and I was under the impression when sending a text it went from iPhone to iPhone or iPad to iPad. Also, if I send a text from my iPad to someone who only has the iPhone, it comes in on their iPhone. However, I received a text from an individual who only has an iPhone and it came to my iPad and never showed up on my phone...Which means had I not been at home I would not have known I had a text on my iPad???? How does it determine which device it will appear on?
You are probably right - I don't have my iPad with me and was confusing myself. But on the iPad it is receive at email addresses only.
Sending to the phone number will mean ONLY your iPhone gets the message. If you want it to go to ALL devices, then you should have them send to the email address associated with the AppleID you used to set up iMessage originally. Also set that email address up as your caller id on the iPhone so as you send out messages, people will reply to that and both your devices should get them.
Although Apple's notes indicate you should be able to do it - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
what if you just type in a 10-digit phone number on the iPad instead of an email?
(I originally did all this with iOS 5.0, and I know then the number did not work on an iPad, but maybe with iOS 5 updates, it does now?) -
I do not have Acrobat Workspaces. Why did I receive the email?
I do not have, use or otherwise have any need for Acrobat Workspaces. To my knowledge, I never owned Acrobat. Why did I get this email? Is Adobe having security problems again?
Program must have been written by the same people who wrote Dartmouth's new email system. I had the same problem building a regional list for my Class today. Thanks for letting us know.

Still have unlimited data plan?
If you have been a responsible user like me and have not abused the "unlimited" data plan and are now given the choice of buying full price phones or getting the 2GB downgrade I have a question for you. Since you are being treated like you are part of the problem why not become part of it? I didn't, until now, stream videos or movies but since I have unlimited data I started. I don't even care what the movie is as long as it is HD so it hogs more data. I will do it until they kick me out as a customer.
My data usage is normally less than 2gb but going up. I didn't anticipate ever using over 5 or 6GB in the next year or so but that is dependent on new applications. Garmin now has smartlink for live traffic updates that uses data, I don't know how much it may use and before I didn't care. I have had unlimited data since it was first offered. I didn't do the videos and movies because I thought that if I burn through 60 to 100GB a month it would surely come to an end. Stupid on my part! How dare I think Verizon would give a **** about me for trying keep my data usage down but still pay for the unlimited just in case I went over. So my reward is getting told they are doing me a favor by simplifying the plan by limiting my data to 2GB. Or I pay full retail for a phone and keep unlimited data. Or I keep the same phone and keep unlimited data.
So now I have a new plan, stream HD movies anytime that it is possible. Buy old Razr's on Ebay and keep my unlimited data and burn all the data I can. I am writing to the Public Service Commission of Nebraska regarding this and the regular poor customer service that I just quit complaining about in the past. If they get enough complaints the Legislature will reintroduce the bill to give the State regulatory authority over the wireless carriers. Will it fix anything? Probably not but it will be another thorn in Verizon's side. I will say anytime the State has gotten involved, even thought they have no authority, Verizon has fixed the issue because they DON'T WANT OVERSIGHT!
If you feel you have been slighted on the unlimited data plan write to your States Public Service Commission. If they get enough complaints the wireless companies will have to deal with regulatory authority. What are they going to do, raise the bill some more? If so Walmart offers a cheap flip phone from Straight talk. Not the best deal but still better than giving your money monthly to a company that hates it customers and looks for every opportunity to fleece them for every dime they can.

If you have unlimited data and plan to upgrade "BE WARNED"
This is just an FYI to all those who may fall into the trap I did. I wish I had know about this prior so I would have made my choices accordingly.
VSW has changed the upgrade plans for those with older unlimited data plans. If you use a line upgrade to get a smartphone that line not only gets the 24 month contract but you will also be forced into a min of $30/month data plan.
I have 3 phones on my account. 1 of them have unlimited data and the other two are simple flip phones (no data).
For 3 years I have used one of these non-data plan lines to upgrade the smartphone and then would move the phone to the unlimited line and the flip phone back to the non-data line. This worked great as my 2 non-data lines had contracts that ended on opposite years.
This last time I upgraded, In January, I explained to the sales person what I wanted to do, they told me they do this all the time and they would take care of it.
My Feb bill was a bit higher than I expected so I called support. I showed them the $30 data fee and how I did not want this on a flip phone. They stated oh yes we understand, will fix it and credit you. Perfect I thought. Sure enough March's bill came and the credit was there but the $30 data charge had not been removed. I called support again and this time they dropped the hammer on me.
My credit was an "Inconvience" credit, it was a range of $3-$8 per line, it was not a reversal of the $30 data charge. This is when I find out that VZW has now changed thier smartphone plan upgrades for accounts who are on grandfarthered in plans. If I switch to thier current plan, ie lose my unlimited data then they are more than happy to remove the data charge. So now I'm stuck paying $30 a month for the next 22 months = $660 in charges for something I will not use. A full contract 24 months $30/month is $720 which is more that the cost of most smartphones.
If this is your situation please be sure you have all the facts prior to getting tricked into a contract worth more that the darn phone you get for "FREE!!!!"According to VZW support this was a policy change in 8/14, 7 months ago(ish), I'm not claiming this is brand new but I am telling others who have been with VZW for many years and still like the less expensive package they have had for those many years need to be aware that this is the rule now. In attempts to force those long term customers to go to a more expensive plan that offers far less service they have implemented this.
I do understand this policy now and certainly will no longer use the upgrades however I wanted to offer my story as a heads up to any other potential person from running into this situation. -
Can anyone help me keep wifi off on my S5? Since the last update my wifi keeps turning on without input from me. I have unlimited data and don't use the wifi much to extend the battery but this is killing it now.
Help is here to resolve this issue with your wifi connection 88DaveS. Lets try disabling your "Smart Network Switch". Select Settings> Wifi. The 'smart network switch' is in the advanced settings. Locate the Menu icon in the upper right hand corner > Tap Menu > Tap Advanced > Locate and ensure the check box is Unchecked next to Smart network switch. Let us know if this helps.

Does it charge me if someone uses my hotspot if I have unlimited data?
Does it charge me if someone uses my hotspot if I have unlimited data?
If someone uses your hotspot it would be against your data allowance, however if you have unlimited data, there would not be any additional charges.
EDIT: I would contact my carrier with any questions about that. They are the ones that handle charges.

Why do I receive the message on my Macintosh,"You can't open the (name of application) application because Power PC applications are no longer accepted"?" At one time the Mac software worked so I'm confused. Fore example I tried to open Concorder Pro snd it gave me the message.
From a recent post I answered for a similar question about the lack of PowerPC app support in Mt. Lion:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
4. Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753). This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.

Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?
Why am I receiving the "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message and how do I fix it?
I am so upset. Please read my messages from my postings. This has nothing to do with SIM Card, Hard Reset, Apps, Google Gmail Account, nothing. I have gone thru all of this and NOTHING has fixed this. I went to the store today and spoke to the manager on duty. He said he had to try and duplicate the problem before he could help me. I showed him "screen captures" I did, told him it's out here on the board, etc. etc. Needless to say I ended up coming home with the same phone, "he" erased the phone and started over again. Well guess what, it's not a error with "MY" Gmail account being corrupted because if that is the case Mrs. Hayden14 has a bad Gmail account too. If you guessed it, the phone just crashed again! I was able this time to capture a report with ALL the history in it and saved screen captures to PROVE to him this is not a joke. Even the report says "Crash". This time it was something else I don't even or ever have used. I have also wasted over a day , yes a full work day on this without question.
I have had to get the run around for the last day. This is totally ridiculous, including them putting me on hold for 55 min. Oh, that's another funny story. Anyways, tomorrow morning I am going to the Verizon store one last and final time and I hope they decided to do the right thing and give me a phone that does not crash and works. It would be handy at work for me, especially where I work at. I hope hope hope someone listens to and helps me. I would love for them to see me walk in, take my phone and say to me were going to get you another phone, hand it to me, see if it works and prove it's the device. I don't hear anyone having this issue on other phone types so sounds like its the phone type.
I have had 3 phones now in the matter of 2 weeks. I am sure the FedEx charges will add up to a cost of a new phone at some point and start to outbalance your requirement to give me the same phone when it has the same problem.
Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow. -

My husband and I both have iPads and somehow when they were setup the both we're setup using the same email I'd address. When I go to delete and rename one iPad it says all info and pictures will be erased from my iPad. Is there a way to keep the info IPad when doing this?
You can go to Settings/iCloud and delete the account, then create a new iCloud account. You can still use the same account for the app store though.

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!
No. I'm sorry. But, i think it uses the headphones as an antenna so it has to be plugged in to headphones in order to make it work. but, it burns the battery down so i don't use the radio function that much.
