If I suspend a phone on my verizon account will I be able to reactivitate it within a few days with no problems?

I would like to suspend one of the phones on my account so it will not be used (thinking it might be lost, but maybe not) IF I do this and we find it, will we be able to reactiviate with no problems?

Hi Nay-Nay49,
I am sorry to hear you lost your phone. Yes, if you suspend your line, you can reactivate it without no problems. Sign into MY VZW for online access to your account to reconnect the line http://bit.ly/xB4iTc.

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

Hi Ruth:
Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
several months ago. Is there a setting I can adjust?
Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
without being diverted to voice mail.
Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
Thanks.

If my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?

if my iphone 3g screen has smashed and my phone is out of warranty. will apple be able to replace the phone for me or repair the screen?
i heard apple can upgrade my phone if a pay a specific amount? is this correct?
also if my phone is out of warranty how much would it cost for it to be replaced?

Apple does not repair smashed phones. It will replace the phone with another iPhone 3G as an out of warranty exchange for 199.00 USD.
You should check with your carrier to see if you are eligible for a subsidized iPhone 4. It may cost you the same as the out of warranty replacement for a phone almost 3 generations old.

Transfer phone to another verizon account

I'm the main line on family share account. My phone is basic and is on month to month right now. The other 2 phones on the account are my sons. One is an iPhone and contract ends Dec. 2013. The other is a basic phone and contract ends Feb 2014. Can I switch my sons 2 lines to my parents verizon account? That would leave just my phone on the account. My question is since it was a family share plan and it's the only phone on the account now will it go to a single plan and change my contract? I really want to cancel my contract since it is up. It would be cheaper to have my sons phones on my parents plan. Hope this makes sense. Basically I want to leave Verizon but still have the 2 phones in contract.

Hi tday1542,
You do have the ability to transfer lines from one account to another and allow the lines to stay with their contract at no penalty. View the details on http://bit.ly/JG6iOD. Your line will move to a single line plan but it doesn't require a contract renewal to change. Your line can remain alone without contract. Let us know if you have more questions.
Thank you,

Does verizon still have a price guarantee if you are within your 14 day return window?

Hello,
I bought a RAZR MAXX HD for $299.99 and plan off Verizon's website on 12/13. Phone delivered to my house 12/14 and activated 12/15.
On 12/18 I notice on Verizon's website that phone is now $249.99. I had heard that as long as you are within your 14-day return window,
you can get a credit for the price difference. Sounds good!
Here's where the misery begins:
- 12/19 I call customer service @ *611 and am told I am SOL. I could return the phone and order again, but
would be charged a $35 restocking fee.
- 12/19 Stopped in a Verizon corporate store and was told if I had bought the phone in store they would be
able to credit my account $50 (and also that they do it all the time). Told me to call *611 and talk and ask
for Telesales.
- 12/19 Called *611 again and asked for Telesales. After being transferred about 4 times, gain told I am SOL.
So, frankly, I've been a Verizon customer for less than a week and am already regretting the decision to switch to them. Why?
1) I don't think my expectation of getting the lower price within the 14-day return window is unreasonable.
2) I don't understand why buying the phone off Verizon's website versus buying it in their corporate retail store should make
a difference in whether they can give me a price difference credit or not. If there is a policy, it should apply across the board
within Verizon (it's not like I bought this phone at a 3rd party retail store or website.)
3) I'll also throw this in; I have extensive experience in sales/customer service and when calling other companies service
learned a long time ago to always ask for names, however, I noticed when being transferred around while asking for Telesales
almost everyone I spoke to before being transferred again was reluctant to divulge their name when asked for it.
If anyone has any suggestions and/or if any Verizon customer representatives on here can help out I'd appreciate it. Otherwise
the clock is ticking on my return window and I might just return it, eat the restocking fee, choose another carrier/phone and
never consider Verizon for anything ever again.
Thanks again.

I would like to say I bought a Droid Maxx on 10/14 at $299. They then dropped the price to $199 a few days later. I called today 10/21 and said I had bought the phone a week ago and would like to be reimbursed the difference under the price guarantee. It took the lady a little while to get it all set up but she was very cordial and efficient and credited the $100 back to the account. If you are within the 14 day return window they should reimburse the difference. Makes sense for them to do so rather than have a perfectly good brand new phone returned just to buy the same phone.

HT1688 i have a 4g and downloaded to operating system and my phone is running slow super slow.. question is i am traveling for a few days can i uninstall the upgrade

My 4g iphone is running slow after installing iso 7 question can i uninstall the new operating system ?

http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/ some other tips.

Recently my Iphone 5 was stolen in India. I 'Erased' my phone from find my phone app and so now i am not able to access 'locate my phone' option in that app. How can i do that?

Another thing that happened recently is someone tried to reset the password of my Apple ID. Since i have erased my phone, will the thief be still able to use the phone? If i remove my phone from my Apple account will he be able to use it then?
Note: I didnt have 'Find my phone' app installed when the phone was stolen. Don't know if needs to be explicitly installed for it to work.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

I bought my iPhone from apple, had ATT, then changed to Verizon. Shouldn't I be able to unlock it from Verizon and use the same phone on an ATT account?

i bought my iphone 4S from apple while i had an att account, then changed to verizon with the same phone.
verizon said they unlocked the phone from their network so i could return to att, but the iphone 4S won't recognize the att sim card.
is there anything i can do to use this apple store phone purchase and return to an att network?

Thank you.
I'm a little muddy tho...it's not a verizon phone,
not bought from or through Verizon, but at the Apple store.
Does that make any differerence?
On the original box, it says that it supports CDMS & GSM
I spoke with Verizon this morning.
They re-activated the phone to the verizon account,
unlocked it, and released it.
Should this make any difference at all?
My thinking to purchase the iphone through Apple
was not to dedicate it to either ATT or Verizon network.

I want to use this phone w/o a verizon account or number, but I can't get past the set-up screen. Can I use this phone to surf there web only and get past setup

I just want to use the phone as a web browser using wireless, I don't have verizon, I can't get past the set-up screen. Can I use the phone without a verizon account?

I took it to Verizon and a counter person got it to work. she said one has to be persistent and eventually the screen goes away that was demanding the phone number I didn't have, it works now I'm happy

I was hotlined for no reason, it's been over 3 months, over 10 phone calls, and my account still has a "hotlined" indicator on it

This feedback includes more of my overall history, however I felt the need to share this recent experience of being hotlined, when it wasn't even my fault, the company admitted it, said they would take the "hotlined" indicator off of my account, and have failed to do so after several escalations:
I am sure my experience lately is nothing unlike anyone else’s experience. For the most part my experience with Verizon has been a bit of a roller coaster to say the least. When I first started my service almost five years ago, I ended up losing a phone number I’d had for about five years due to a technical mistake they made during the contract process and having to witch phones about four times. From there, I had billing trouble every month for the next 18 months. I had to call in for some kind of adjustment just about every month until I was due for an upgrade in December 2011. I upgraded to the Motorola Droid Razor, a choice I have regretted ever since.
So for the next 18 months I had well over 24 replacement phones for the Razor, until about August of 2013. I was offered by Verizon (via Motorola) to “upgrade” to the Razor M. It was a newer phone, only a bit smaller than the original Razor. I didn’t know it had 50% less internal memory than the original Razor, so I asked Verizon to send me the Razor in place of the Razor M, so that I could at least used the phone as I had intended. Not even a few days after I got the replacement Razor, it fell off my bed (less than 3 feet off the ground) and the screen shattered. Since I had not yet sent back the Razor M, I just re-activated it and called Verizon to let them know.
Okay, now let’s back track to October 2013. I had to replace another phone on my plan, a Motorola Droid Bionic, and we had ordered a new S.D. card for it. We got the replacement phone and S.D. card, I found out that the S.D. card was a kit that came with a card reader to plug into my computer, however it was also about $55. I sent the S.D. card back and the broken Bionic, and of course tracked both boxes. Verizon received both boxes within a few days, but only inventoried the phone. It took them almost 5 weeks to inventory the S.D. card. I had them charge the S.D. card to my bill, but since I had sent it back, I paid the bill less that amount, about $55.
So I had communicated with the financial services department about waiting for the $55 credit, in the event there was some kind of an issue. Even though I had talked to them right before the lines were all suspended, it was still suspended, and no one could explain why. I have called in since November 11, 2013 and I have talked to several people:
November 29, 2013 – Joanne
December 3rd 2013 – Ashley
December 4th 2013 – Melanie
December 6th 2013 – Maria
January 24th 2014 – Michael
February 7th 2014 – Elizabeth
February 8th 2014 – Amanda
Since then I have talked to another few more people, all of whom have submitted an escalation to a manager to approve the suspension to be removed from my account. We have all heard the term “hotlined”, which is like a big ugly mark on a customer’s credit and it takes 6 months of on time payments to get it removed. However in my case, it wasn’t even my fault, the company admitted that they messed up and interrupted my service and although they promised over 7 times to get the account fixed, they have still not done it. I still paid the November and December 2013 bill, and the January and February 2014 bill in good faith. Although I have had a number of bills roll over from one month to the next during my 5 year term with Verizon, I have never been in a position where the lines were interrupted due to an error of my own.My service does work, and was turned on right away when I called on November 11th to find out why it wasn't working, that is how I found out about the hotline, talked to a manager and they said that due to it being Verizon's mistake, the hotline indicator should be removed by December 1st, it was not and still is not.
I have never asked for the company to reverse the mark on my account until now. How is it that Verizon and other companies like them can hold the threat of an early termination fee over the customer’s head, so that if the customer makes a mistake they are in fear of doing it again for fear of being interrupted or disconnected? However the phone companies aren’t held to a similar standard? If the wireless phone companies (whether holding a contract with a customer or not) are not held to a level of responsibility when they make a mistake, then why should the customer?
So it has been over 3 months since my account was hotlined and the mistake was made. I have continued to make my payment and even kept my service with them, despite the fact that my contract is over. Because of the hotline I cannot use the edge program to get a new phone and I cannot bill anything to my account until the hotline is removed. As I understand all it takes is a manager to sign off on some document and the hotline indicator is removed. If that is the case, why has it taken over 3 months, and over 8 phone calls and nothing has happened? I just talked to a representative this last weekend in the loyalty department and I have given the company an ultimatum – either get the mark off by the next bill, coming out March 2nd 2014, or I am done with the service.
I would rather have to purchase a phone outright from another company, and get on a prepaid plan than to bend to accepting the responsibility of the hotline on my service when it wasn’t my fault. I also cannot stand having to switch companies, but in a case like this, I would be a hypocrite if I didn’t.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

Can I use transfer my current number on my parents' account to a new prepaid phone on my own account?

I currently am using an old brick of a flip phone on my parents' Verizon account. My contract has been up for a long time and I am currently just on the month-by-month payment setting. I want to get a prepaid smartphone on my own account, that way I'm not piggybacking off of my parents' account anymore. How can I transfer my current number to the phone I'm ordering on my own account so that the phone on my new account will have the number my current phone has?

12. Can I port a number to a Verizon Wireless prepaid phone?
Yes, you can choose to port an existing number when you activate your Verizon Wireless prepaid phone.

Sync 2 iphone 4s phone to the same account

what if sync 2 iphone 4s phone to the same account will the 2 be clones??

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

Can I punish mybratty kid by suspending his phone use for say one or two days and then turn it back on how hard is it to turn it back on or will it end up just being more work for me

So my kids got it all figured out but I pay for the phone so I thought I would turn it off for a few days and see if his attitude changed when I go to suspend service it makes me think how hard it might be to reactivate service so what are your thoughts on that and if you have any ideas to help

I am not sure if this will work, but you could look in Family Base. With this source you can control who they call, text, and what website they go to. It is just $5 per month. That may control their usage. Try calling Customer Service (*611) about it.
I hope it helps! Good Luck!

Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out.

Hello KeyGroupGJ!
Wow, Im sorry for all the issues you have had with the Home Phone Connect service! I'd really like to assist you. You mentioned that there is no number to call to get this straightened out. No worries, there is no need to call us, since I can reach out to you. Please send me a direct message with your name, your mobile number, and a good contact number for you. I'll be happy to assist you!
