OK so on Jan 27th I receive a text that I won a prize.  I responded not knowing that it would cost me almost $60.  When I questioned the charge with Verizon Wireless they said I had to pay it.  When I called the numbers listed to cancel this FRAUD I reached CHINA and INDIA.  Nice.  So I have no recourse but to pay for something I never really wanted because I entered an authorize code.  Once you enter they pass your cell # to other rip off artists and it you respond it will cost you $9.99 per text response.  So beware. It sucks but it can happen so don't respond to any such texts.

Call Customer service and ask then to BLOCK Premium SMS services; that will prevent any future charges. And call again to see if you can get a more sympathetic rep that may credit you half the charges. Since you said you did enter an authorization code, though, that may not be a solution.

    I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area.  I have stayed with 10G since the beginning.  Most months I don't use the 10G.  Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use.  This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages.  I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time.  Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help.  Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out.  I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!!     Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them?   We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

    There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
    You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
    Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
    There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
    Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
    Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
    Good Luck

Is anyone accountable at verizon? will i ever really get my phone? i've seen people on this forum order later than me and get their phone quicker

    I looked in the My Orders section of my Verizon account this morning (12/22),  My SG iPhone 6+ 1228GB is now listed under my Recent Orders and my card was charged yesterday,  So I am thinking it will ship Monday morning.  This is how the process went for my wife's S 64GB 6+ two weeks ago.  This is an interesting turn of events since I was also one to receive the email on Thursday about it being pushed back to 12/12  I'll keep you all posted.
    Also I ordered 10/13.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

    I feel like I got ripped off from i tunes,   i ordered three songs July 4th and only 2 and d1/2 came through.  
    The one I am missing totally is My Prayer with Josh Groban and Charlotte Church.   I only have one minute of it and then it stops.

    It will make me think twice from now on.
    I did notify them more than once and they sent me a note with a bunch of sites to read.\
    I was almost completely finished with one site, but I do not know what i tune number I have,5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10 etc
    That should not be an issue,  I have been taken advantage of and that is small on the part of APPLE not to resend it with no other beggin on my part.

  • Verizon billing for data overages that never happened?

    I just switched a few months ago from AT&T to Verizon.  Heard customer service and billing practices were better, and was willing to pay a bit more per month to get it.  Now, three months in ... I have a billing and customer service nightmare.  I have an apparent "hiccupping" overage charge -- Verizon is telling me every couple days that I have used another 1G over my limit for the month -- yet my usage is no different than it was with AT&T -- with one exception.  On ONE day this month, I used my phone to send myself a number of photos from my phone to a non-phone connected email
    And I streamed about 5 min. of video on the phone.  That's all.  I was notified I went over.   Very nice to know, I thought ... I appreciated the notification and the ability to buy another 1G at $10 for the month rather than a $15 overage charge.  So far, so good.  I also learned from that, and never did it again (emailed photos from my phone to another email nor streamed videos).  I don't listen to music on my phone nor have ever used it in any other way to use a lot of data.  When I had AT&T I never used more than 1G total, but I put myself on a 2G plan with Verizon, just in case, because I had come close to the 1G limit a few times with AT&T.   Now, the nightmare.  Since my one day of overage, and purchase of an additional gig, within a few days I received a message that I used up the extra gig already!  Then I have, every few days, received a text message from Verizon stating I used my "second" extra gig, then my "third"  and now it is up to my "sixth"!!!   I have no clue what is happening, though I have read on line that others have had this problem with Verizon, even when no one was using the phone, and the phone was turned off for a week!   I called Verizon, and all I got was "it couldn't be our problem", "you should use your apps differently," "you should turn off imessaging", "you should only use wifi when you can" etc. etc.  And when I said I'm not doing ANYTHING differently from when I had only 1G with AT&T, I got a snotty "we're not working for AT&T, we don't know what AT&T does" over and over.  I can't imagine that no one whatsoever at Verizon has no idea how their data usage billing practices differs or is the same from AT&T and why AT&T would charge me for less than 1G and Verizon would charge me for more than 6Gs for the exact same type of usage.   I asked to speak to supervisors and got arguments -- "they are just going to ask you the same thing."  PLEASE let me speak to a supervisor, I said.... "you still have to answer these questions..."  REALLY, Verizon?? 

        aeblock,
    Nothing like watching a bill go up and not knowing where it is coming from! Let’s get that to be more manageable. There is an app that I use to see all apps that use data including 3rd party apps you may have downloaded. This lets you know everything that might be using data and how much it is using. Once you know you can disable data or uninstall the application if that option is not available. I find that very useful. You can check that out here: http://bit.ly/1mJfoyE .
    From what you have written I am under the impression that you believe there is an error in the reported data usage on our end. Customer service can submit a request to compare the information reported to billing against actual data used. If there is any error we would be happy to adjust it for you. You can do that by contacting customer service: http://bit.ly/yN1P80 or send me a direct message and I will have that reviewed for you: http://vz.to/1v0uLEw .

  • Problems with F4 help for dates

    Hi all.
    In a redesign project we use a new structure for the bsp pages. Since the redesign every F4 help for dates is giving us a java script error.
    Row:      689
    Column: 3
    Error:     'document.all.sapDate.style' is NULL or no object
    Code:    0
    URL:      http://<server>:<port>/wbw(bD1..)/main.do
    In the first version it was a view with some page fragments included containing the F4 helps.
    The new application is a main view containing a changing view over command <bsp:call comp_id="...
    Does the difference in place used matter?
    I also removed the attribute themeRoot from <htmlb:content ...
    Thanks for every hint,
    Timo.

    I have exactly the same problem, someone can tell me how to fix it please ?
    Here is my code for the "date" field :
    CASE p_column_index.
            WHEN 1.
              DATA: tv_col1_inputfield TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_inputfield.
              CREATE OBJECT tv_col1_inputfield.
              tv_col1_inputfield->id    = p_cell_id.

  • EMU 1616 with Shure58S/58SE for skype calls?

    Hello!
    I've sent this question to Thomann.de support, but I didn't get anything useful in return..
    Basically I want to buy this bundle - http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/LVL/_SET_-Shure-SM58SE-inkl.-Stativ-Kabel/art-PAH109
    And I have a bit older version of this card (1616 instead of 1616M):
    http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/LVL/EMU-1616m-PCIe-16-In-16-Out-FX/art-PCM0008873-000
    Will this microphone work on skype, for voice calls?...
    Usual PC microphones don't work with 1616 card (as they are not active microphones). My work involves skype calls and I can't call when 1616 is connected. At least not with usual PC microphone.
    So I'm using integrated sound card for quite a while...
    Will this mic work for this? Please advise.
    Best wishes,
    Aleks

    You and I had the good sense to see tremendous value in the E-Mu 1616 MicroDock audio interface.  Unfortunately, apparently few other people did, or maybe E-Mu would still be in business.  
    Where to start.
    Until recently, I used a headset under Windows XP with no problem. Not even sure how I had Patchmix set up, but I knew NOTHING of ASIO outputs in those days, so might not even have had a Send inserted somewhere.  I was able to use both a headset mic (see below), and/or a phantom-powered condenser with Skype audio-call sessions. I upgraded to Windows 7 in Jan 2013, and although I've used Skype rarely since then, my call record shows that I made a long call last summer, so it must have worked.  In the fall, I updated what may have been a very old version of Audacity, and suddenly could no longer get 1616 sound into Audacity. I've since learned that Audacity doesn't support ASIO, and apparently there's no other way to interface them. (Using properly matched ASIO "send" inserts, I can still use my mics with Pro Tools.)  I also use a product called Total Recorder, which I generally have set up to record from "software" (as opposed to a mic input), and used to regularly put me on one channel and the other person on the other channel.
    Now I find that Skype doesn't hear the 1616. Total Recorder doesn't (although their earnest support dept has assured me it should, and should not depend on getting the sound via ASIO -- I have yet to check their report fully, but my first try was unsuccessful).  And the Skype situation is a total mystery -- it says my microphone is working properly, but neither the Call Quality record/play test, nor the test call will hear it, whatever I have tried. (And I swear I've tried and triple checked everything, even removing other recently added audio software and reverting to a week-old Restore Point. (I dare not go back months, if that is even possible.)  
    Skype does "hear" a USB headset that I plugged in just for testing.  Windows foudn and loaded drivers for it, and I made a successful test call.  Although of course in comparison, the headset's audio sucked.
    So, although I have no hands-on experience with the SM58 my short answer is: Yes, it should work with any professional dynamic or condenser mic.  But in my case, it still does, but Skype suddenly does not work with it.
    Supposedly "correct" configuartion for Skype.
    http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=87610
    To use an ordinary telephone headset with the MicroDock, you need an amplifier of sort between them. (Which was news to me until a guy deep in Plantronics nicely explained -- apparently headphones use an electret approach?)  With suitable mono/stereo adapters etc., an Andrea APS-100 Battery Box should do the trick.  I got mine from eMicrophones, but a search may turn up other current sources.  About $12 plus shipping.  It uses a AAA battery, and fidelity is okay for phone use.   I don't know if it would be the correct solution (or at all a solution) for a low-output (cheap tape recorder) dynamic mic.  That probably would call for a conventional pre-amp of some kind, although the mic I just tried seems to give signal enough.
    By the way, I tried your link to the 1616m and succeeded in putting into a cart, where it says they have it "in stock."  Some nerve!  Okay, a bit of thanks to Creative Inc. for not doing away with the E-MU site entirely, but how does anyone have the chutzpah to sell the thing when there is no support, no "official" driver (just a 2010 beta and 2009 documentation), nobody there, no active forms or email, and their forum is virtually dormant?

  • BB Talk - being billed for free calls - anyone els...

    Well, where to start
    Last month I was billed for a BBT call that should of been free. It was only 23p, but it's my money and not BT's. Called and used live chat - all sorted
    Checked my usage for this month - BILLED AGAIN for free BBT calls.
    Called BT this morning and got through to a guy whom didn't have a clue, that insisted that I was credited over £15 for my incorrectly charged BBT call last time - erm that'll be the 23p then, plus couldn't grasp what I was saying, then transferred me to the customer options team - erm even the guy on this team had no idea why billing would transfer me to them as they couldn't access the account from their system. We agreed to end the call there as we'd both of been wasting our time
    The online usage doesn't tally either. It states 14 calls made and the recent usage (graph page) clearly shows only 9 calls were made.
    But the page that gives the breakdown of the numbers called FAILS to load every time. Live chat have told me that ALL BT customers are affected and nobody can see their actual breakdown for their BBT account. I've copied and saved the conversation.
    I have it in writing that my bill will be amended to reflect this error
    So check your usage and your bill. Then please let me know if you too are being billed incorrectly and can you access the recent calls page for your BBT number
    Thanks

    Thanks for replying hayling12.
    The bit I should of added was "All the customer of BT is facing same problem and it will be fixed within 5 working days no worries"
    (my bold and no that's how it was written)
    So is it a big problem? And are others being billed incorrectly?

  • Being billed for data plan twice after purchasing Droid X at full retail?

    I purchased the Droid X on 7/15 for full retail since I was not eligible for the promotional price. From looking at my receipt, at the time of purchase I also paid $10 for 500 messages, and I paid $29.99 for unlimited email and web data plan.  I did this because Verizon requires you to select these options when buying a new phone.  This was for an existing line so I was basically upgrading without being eligble for the promotional fee. I wasn't adding a line or signing a new contract or anything.  So I paid those fees at time of purchase.  I just received my regular verizon bill, which also charged me the $29.99 for my data plan and the $10 for the messages.
    Was I billed twice?  When I ordered the phone through Verizon Online, does it not transfer that data plan and messages to my bill?  Why did I have to pay this to Verizon wireless internet orders if I was also going to be charged it on my bill?
    Here is the receipt from ordering the phone:
    ORDER DATE: 07/15/10
    Mobile Number:           xxx-xxx-xxxx
    Contract Renewal:        Month to Month
                                                                              Due Now
    Equipment Upgrade:
    1         Motorola DROID X                                                 $569.99
             Service Feature(s):
             500 messages PLUS Unlimited Mobile to Mobile Messaging           $10.00
             Decline Insurance
             Unlimited Email & Web for Smartphones (personal email).          $29.99
    And here is my regular bill:
    AC Family SharePlan 1000 Add'l Line 08/04 - 09/03   9.99
    Email & Web for SMARTPHONE 07/16 - 08/03            18.38
    Email & Web for SMARTPHONE 08/04 - 09/03            29.99
    500 MSG Allowance + UNL IN MSG 07/16 - 08/03         6.13
    500 MSG Allowance + UNL IN MSG 08/04 - 09/03        10.00
    250 Message Allowance Refund 07/16 - 08/03          -3.06

    Glad you got it sorted - I read through your entire bill summary and was framing my reply ....but then I see you figured it out on your own.  Have agreat weekend!

  • APEX_UTIL.IR_FILTER with BETWEEN operator for date columns

    Hi,
    when I run my application I can set a BETWEEN-filter for date columns. I can't find a way how to use it with the APEX_UTIL.IR_FILTER function. Maybe I miss something?
    Documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_util.htm#CHDDDFBF
    Tobias

    Tobias,
    If you think about it, a "Between" is nothing more than a single line way to say
    WHERE :X >= :Y
    AND :X <= :Z
    So you should be able to apply two filters to the report using the LTE and GTE operators
    Hope this helps

  • When will I be billed for engineer call out??

    Hi, I called out an engineer for a fault after I had water damage to my house from burst pipes (turns out one of the sockets had water damage). My insurance will pay for this call out and repair as part of my claim, but I haven't had a bill for it yet and it's been week, and the insurance are waiting for it. When will I get billed?
    Thanks
    VictoriaA

    In my experience, call out charges are usually added to your next bill! Contact BT 150 from your landline, and they will be able to tell you when your next bill is due, and also whether or not the call out charges will be added.

Maybe you are looking for
