Incompetent and Liars thinking of switching providers

I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for almost 20 years. I have had as many as five lines that I have paid for over the years. At the current time I am paying for 3 lines. For those 20 years I have had insurance on my lines the whole time. My husband recently dropped and broke his I Phone, smashing the face. When he went into the Verizon store to inquire about our insurance on this phone he was told we have $165 deductible. (First of all the phone was free with his upgrade.) Upon further speaking with the customer service rep, he was informed that they had a promotion right now that would not require him to use an upgrade, nor would he have to sign a new contract or anything all he had to do was pay $60 and he could get a new phone and that would be better than using the insurance. First of all $165 deductible is very expensive whatever happened to the $50 I was quoted when I purchased it? He made an appointment to come back the very next day so I could go with him because I was due for an upgrade so we could both get new phones at the same time. HOWEVER when we went in the next day and spoke with the very same person EVERYTHING had changed, this was no longer the case, he would need to use my upgrade or pay $165 deductible or full price for the phone. I asked what they could do to help us and after he went in the back and talked to a manager (very much like going to a car dealership) I was told there was nothing they could do after 20 years of being a Verizon customer. I walked across the hall to Sprint and got a quote that beat Verizon. I will be paying the extra money to cancel my lines and going with Sprint were I was treated with respect and dignity.

I am going to be very blunt about this response so I apologize in advance if it upsets you.
With the information you gave me, I assume you've had the insurance for the 20 years, and they will never guarantee the deductible to be the same. My car insurance deductible is more now than it was 5 years ago, that's just the way it is.
When they told him that, they meant he could use your upgrade so he wouldn't have to sign a new 2 year. Therefore you both would not qualify for a new phone.
20 years of being a customer does not mean a thing, Do you feel like you deserve special treatment? If that's the case then I am going to call Cheerios for free boxes of cereal since I've been buying their cereal for the past 10+ years.
I don't understand how they didn't treat you with dignity or respect. Apparently they were being disrespectful by not giving you an option that was not available?
Good Luck with Sprint I don't know about coverage in your area but where I am, I would be better off with a Little Tikes plastic play phone

My E72 and why I'm thinking of switching to Androi...

I'm a Nokia apologist. There's no denying it, I've been one of the people on these forums over the last few months who wades in amongst the rants and rages and says 'hey guys, it's not so bad, there'll probably be a firmware update one day' and waves a little Finnish flag in Nokia's honour.
And I have loved my E72. One of the main reasons I got it was so I could be the only guy in meetings at work who DIDN'T whip out an iPhone (*shudder*). Instead I get out my cool classy E Series Nokia, like a man who means BUSINESS. It felt great being the only guy who hadn't spent 700 Euros on an overrated touchscreen toy made by a bunch of control freaks for people who can't HANDLE a real phone. That's right.
I still love it. Sort of. I love that the battery lasts a good four days. FOUR DAYS. I enjoy waving it in the faces of my iPhone-owning colleagues and taunting them with its luxurious battery life. It looks beautiful, so shiny and professional, and feels so RIGHT on the rare occasions when I actually use it as a telephone.
But. There's always a but. And for me it's email.
I don't know what it is about Exchange email programs, but my friends with iPhones say the same thing. I didn't have any problems setting up my email accounts on my E72, but I just couldn't believe it when I found that MfE didn't tell me when new emails arrived in one of my subfolders. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the universe who uses server-side rules to filter emails into folders. HELLO?? ANYBODY OUT THERE WITH ME?? MfE would synchronise my subfolders, but if I wanted to see if anything new had arrived, I had to go in and check every single folder manually. I've asked about this several times on these forums, and can now only conclude that I'm the only person in the universe who uses server-side rules and that I'm insane.
In any case, this wasn't acceptable to me, but luckily I had a license for Roadsync, which I used on my previous N82. Ok, it's kind of **bleep** having to run a separate application, but it does the trick, and LO AND BEHOLD, when I go through my list of subfolders it actually indicates which folders have new mail in them! PRAISE THE LORD!
Or so I thought. Now I discover that any emails I send aren't synchronised with the Exchange server, so there is absolutely no record of them when I'm back at my PC. Once again, I'm probably the only person in the universe who wants to keep a record of all the emails I send. But this is not acceptable - I need to refer to old emails far too often for me to trust sending anything important on my phone now.
And then there's the awful memory management. If I dare to so much as open ONE BROWSER and, yes I know this is audacious, view ONE web page - half the time the phone runs out of memory and borks. ONE BROWSER. This phone has plenty of RAM, there must be something wrong with how it's managed.
And another email thing! My Gmail account works fine in the standard application, except the HTML never loads and I can never retrieve the full messages. I have the Gmail java app installed which I could use instead, but I refuse to resort to that on principle.
So I find myself in the peculiar situation of having bought a dedicated, hardcore MESSAGING phone, which doesn't have a nice big screen, or any other frills and bells and whistles, cause hey, it's a MESSAGING phone. But it turns out, and it has taken me months to realise this, is absolutely awful when it comes to messaging. Subfolders in Exchange!? Is that so much to ask for? And what about being able to multi-task a couple of apps without running out of RAM? Five years ago I had an HP 6515, a truly awful awful awful phone, but the email management on it was absolutely perfect. It did what I expected it to i,e. allowed me to manage my emails just like I do on my laptop. I actually still have it somewhere, maybe I should dig it out!
I hate flashy touchscreen phones. I really do. I hate the way their batteries run dry if you so much as breathe near them. But I'm now seriously thinking of switching to one of those **bleep** new Android phones that HTC is churning out. I have no idea if the email clients are any better on Android, but if nothing else, it would satisfy my insatiable Google fetish.
And at least I still wouldn't be another mindless drone with an iPhone.
In the unlikely event that anyone has made it this far, congratulations and thanks for listening. My therapist told me I had to get all of this off my chest.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I see your point. I have also resisted fat touchscreen phones and waited a lot for the perfect one, the E72, only to find it it is not that perfect.
In a way, it matches all I wanted... native strong encryption, decent hardware, etc. But it has some problems.
The issues with email are a problem in such a business communicator, but to me they are not very relevant (I don't need to synch my work email).
To me that biggest deal breaker so far are the problems with memory. I feel like I have a new gadget and am already getting out of error messages as if it's an outdated brick.
I have an 6220 Classic that boots with twice as much free RAM as the E72. Granted, the OS is a bit simpler but not all that much. I don't know what kind of muppet memory management is going on in the E72 but I boot with about 40 MB free RAM and after loading a few resident apps it is down to 31 MB. Then the more I use the phone the more it leaks until eventually it is down to <20 and either reboots itself or I do it myself.
After some hard resets I concluded that not installing fishy software does help with the leaks, but not much.,,, the thing leaks just by being alive. Every time you see that breathing light exhale it means that a KB has died and went to Symbian heaven.
Running fat apps like Ovi Maps, Sygic Mobile, Skype, Opera Mobile and others is a problem unless nothing else is running.
Are you taking a walk navigating with Maps but want to take a few photos of the scenery? I did that this weekend. Well maybe you'll be able to open the camera app while navigating... hmm "Out of Memory Error"... now, let's try again... There, I closed the Log, no more apps open... Ohh look, it opened the Camera, great... lets take some photos....-click- -click- ok... back to Maps to move on oh no... Ovi Maps closed itself.
Pity, pity... Could be a decent phone but the RAM issue is getting on my nerves. I'm starting to doubt it will ever be fixed by firmware flashing. The low amount of ram and its poor management is to me the single biggest flaw of the E72.
Unlike you, I feel Android is too immature and will only bring many limitations and other problems. Right now I'm out of ideas, except perhaps waiting to see what WiMo 7 is bringing... I do like the 9.3 FP2 but the overall experience is a bit annoying right now.... I'm always waiting to see which app will be closed due to low ram.
PS: I do love the one key torch, and truth be told, most if it all. If it only had memory beyond 2004-standards.

My screen is completely white, i've tried holding lock and home buttons as seen on you tube something called 'white screen of death' its goes black (think it switches off) then back to the white screen need help fast please!

I just switch providers and I lost all of my old e-mails?

I just switch providers and I lost all of my old e-mails?

Did you have the account set up as IMAP? That would mean that all messages are kept on the server and, if you cancelled, they would be gone unless you downloaded/saved them elsewhere.

I think my ipod touch is set to camera mode and I need to switch it back. When I hoook it up to my computer it thinks I am hooking up a camera and wants to download pics. It used to read it as an ipod and automatically synch. Now it doesn't do that. HELP

When I first got my ipod, I would hook it up to my computer and it would automatically synch with my itunes. But then I took some pictures with my ipod and downloaded the pics. Now everytime I hook up my ipod to my computer, it reads it as a camera and asks if I want to download pics. It is driving me crazy. I haven't used my ipod as a camera since that one time, and I need to get it back to automatically synching when I hook it up. It's like it is not being recognized as an ipod. Is there something I can do to get my ipod out of camera mode and back to ipod mode. Also, i got a speaker system to hook up my ipod to and it is not "picking up" the ipod when I hook it up. the music will not come out of the speakers and I think again it is an issue of my ipod being in "camera" mode. HELP!!!

As mentioned in your other post, disable the camera notification, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
But you'll have to be logged in with administrative rights, to change the settings.

Can i switch providers if I am staying in another country?

I'm going to be in Austrlia for 4 months. Anyone know if can switch providers for my iphone while I'm there? I'm certainly not going to pay international rates for that long.

Doubtful with your iPhone, but I would contact at&t or Apple to find out if they would agree to unlocking your iPhone for the 4 months while you are there. Since you won't be canceling your contract with at&t and you will be returning, they may agree to do this on a short term basis with your iPhone being re-carrier locked with at&t when you return.
I don't think this is possible, but there is only one way to find out, and the worse thing they can say is no. If so, you can purchase an inexpensive unlocked phone when you arrive there, and get a pre-paid SIM card from a local provider. You can use your iPhone to connect to the internet via an available wi-fi network while there.

For the first time I think to switch LR

I'm really surprise with myself having the idea to swith to Lightroom.
I've adopted Aperture since the launch, I've immediately loved his workflow. The first 1.0 with many bugs but with the confidence in Apple that new versions will resolve it (and in part it has happened). The rebate of the price, very serious solution. The efforts to give a real usable version changing the development team. I've always supported Aperture, I've also made many show of this software in cooperation with my local re-seller of Apple because I have really thinked that Apple with Aperture will arrive in photo as Final Cut arrived in the video. I speak always the best about it.
But, there is a "but".
After 1 year and half the progress is stop. No idea of when 2.0 will be released, no idea of which kind of new functions will have. In the same time Adobe is really aggressive and competitive, many people I know are switching to Adobe solution because they are more "sure" for the future (and when you "married" with a library concept and software it's a very important thing, specially if we are speaking about raw adjustment settings that will be lost if you change software). Yesterday, during a show made by Adobe I've study very well Lightroom for the first time, I understand the potential and also the possibility to convert my library.
For the first time I really think to switch.
What do you suggest? I know that I'm in Aperture forum so all of us are using that software, but please, help me to understand why it should be better for me stay in Aperture without any idea on the future of this software.
Thank you!
Max
p.s. sorry if my english is not perfect.
G5 Dual 1.8 | 2gb ram | Ati X800 XT 256mb | Cinema Display 23" + Dell 18" Mac OS X (10.4.6) MacBook Pro 15.4 2.0 ghz | 2gb ram

Like many here, I purchased Aperture almost when it came out, and followed all of the updates. I'd used Aperture for over a year when Lightroom 1.0 was released.
When Lightroom 1.0 was first released, I tried a 30 day trial. I shoot landscape photos, and had a Canon RAW file that was particularly difficult to process and extract because of the dynamic range of the image. When I opened that file in Lightroom, the RAW output from Lightroom was noticably better than Aperture. Without any adjustment, it was better than I could accomplish with Aperture under any condition.
In the end, I use Lightroom for one reason: the quality of RAW extracts. (Photography is about the image.) A bonus is that it's noticeably faster than Aperture on my equipment (Dual G5 and a MacBook Pro). I'm not so fond of Lightroom's modal interface. Aperture is much more convenient in that respect. But the image quality is the prime consideration, and Aperture's RAW processing isn't as good as Lightroom's, at least not yet.
I'm keeping Aperture up to date. I've also tried to organize my files and photo library so that switching between the two applications is possible. If Aperture pulls out in front I'll go back.
There are two good reviews of both programs by two different people. One is a Lightroom person that tests Aperture, and the other is an Aperture person that tests Lightroom. They differ on which application they prefer. If you read both, you'll get a sense of the strengths and weaknesses of both.

Hard Drive bottle neck.   Running SRT thinking of switch to SSD

I did the "windows experience index" on windows 7 on my new custom build. I got 7.9 (which is the best score) on everything but the primary hard disk. I got a 5.9 score for the primary hard disk.
I set up the drives with Intel's SRT with one 120 Patriot Wildfire Sata 3 drive (only using 60 gigs of it I am using for the SRT seeing that is the max and the other 60 gigs I partitioned it for extra storage space) and a 1 teribyte HDD sata 3 in the two sata 3 ports on my Gigabyte motherboard.   My Media drives are two 1.5 tb in a Raid 0 in the two Sata 2 slots but i don't think the "windows experience index" uses those in their test.
I was thinking of switching this in hopes of a better score and even better performace (even though I am pretty damn happy with the way it works now even with what windows experience index score of 5.9 is telling me)
I have a total of Two 120 Patriot Wildfire Sata 3 drives on hand. I was thinking I should use them in the two Sata 3 ports on my Gigabyte mother board in a Raid 0 which should give me close to 240gig of system drive and a really fast rate of data transfer.
All i am using this computer for is CS5.5 Production Suite and some web sites most all CMS websites these days (maybe a few games but I am not a big pc gamer)
What does everyone think?   If you think it is a good idea for me to switch to the two ssd in Raid 0.   I am wondering if I should reformat all the drives first?   I won't have to change anything on my media drive seeing that is on the Sata 2 part. If anyone has done this before I would love to hear how you went about it.
Oh and off the subject I documented the whole build and posted more than half of the videos on www.brentdolan.com   I am eventually going to come up with another name but can't think of any. any suggestions?
Thanks to everyone in advance.

Thanks everyone for your input.   I think for now I will just leave the system the way it is. Why mess up a good thing right?
Just wondering if there was any extra advantage.   My current set up works awesome. It is a dream to edit on but i was wondering if it could be possibly better.
I edit in AVCHD footage.   The footage edits great. Alll real time play back. Exporting to a H.264 is basicly in real time (10 minute clips exports in a little under 10 minutes)
So really what more can i ask for?   I guess I am just being greedy. I should of went with two 2TB drives in a Raid 0 for my media drives but I got the others on sale (at the time was strapped for cash)
Since I built this machine so many more projects followed.
I guess it is like the old saying "build it and they will come"
Thanks again all for helping me make up my mind.

Thinking of switching to BT... but have old main s...

Hi everyone, currently with Sky but thinking of switching to BT. Our phone sockets were installed in the late 1980s.
I have a mains socket coming in downstairs and two extension sockets (both in bedrooms). One of the extensions has the current Sky router connected to it.
If I go with BT I'm assuming the new hub will have to connect to the main socket (ie downstairs). My PC is in one of the bedrooms, there's no option of moving it elsewhere. It's too far away for cabling (plus cats would chew cables and would be a trip hazard). I'm guessing I'd have to connect the PC wirelessly; do BT recommened a card/adaptor for doing this or could I buy my own (if so, which?).
Our current broadband is incredibly slow and quite often drops. The wireless signal isn't that great either downstairs.
I don't want to have to spend out on an engineer and setup costs if this just isn't possible. I'm also a radio ham operator and worried about interference from hubs and any of those horrid PLT devices.
Any help/advice would be most appreciated!

Hi
As Keith mentions about BT Infinity, if you do go up that route the infinity engineer will re-arrange what is your main socket although prob not install new ones.
You don't have to use the power line adaptors although they are only supplied with vision/you view.
If you just opt for ADSL BB Bt would only change/alter your setup for a price.

5 year Customer thinking of switching to AT&T

I have been a very loyal customer of Verizon Wireless for 5 years now and have loved the customer service and all the equipment we have purchased over the years until now!
The first week of November 2010, I went in to my normal Verizon Store and upgraded 3 phones (all of which were regular phones upgraded to cellphones.) and also purchased a wireless remote connection card that all my devices including my home computer, could "supposively" work off of. WRONG. We have not been able to work the wireless internet card ever since we got it in NOVEMBER 2010.
Also, our bill is ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH! We have NEVER had a Bill over $350.00 and that is including 4 Cell Phones and a Netbook! I got a bill in January 2011 for $950.00. Then in Febrauary I got a bill for $505.00 making our total bill $1,505.00. WHY????? The first week in December 2010 I signed and NEW plan at my Verizon Store to pay only $99.00 per month for phone service with 700 minutes and NOW i found out that we are still having to pay for 1,400 minute plan.
We were also suppose to receive 3 Rebate cards (2) for $100 (for upgrading to Droid2) and one for $50.00 for the regular cellphone upgrade. We received (2) Cards 1 for $100 and 1 for $50 and the Rebate Center held the other $100 rebate card which we finally received a couple of weeks ago.
I am a very disappointed customer and have spent MANY hard earn money with your company. I hate to even think of switching to another company but this loyal customer NOW can't even get anyone to help her to get the equipment working half the time. We still can not use the wireless internet card yet we are paying $60.00 per month the service.
If we could just have some type of customer assitance with this ASTRONOMICAL bill that we had not anticipated having due to signing a new plan, we would consider remaining Verizon Wireless customers.
Regards,
Sondrea
{edited for privacy}

Since this is not a customer service forum, but a peer to peer forum, you would do better getting a response from Verizon if you either called *611 from your cell or 800-922-0204 from your landline phone. You could also email them from THIS page.
Hope you get it worked out.

Thinking about switching from single-app to full CC. Is it possible to switch back at a later date or am I committed to a year of full membership?

Hi there,
I'm currently paying for Flash but it looks like I may have to use Photoshop and After Effects too, so I was thinking about switching to the full plan. However if I don't end up needing Photoshop or After Effects is it possible to downgrade my membership to single-app in the future?
Thanks in advance!
Dan

Be sure to select the MONTHLY subscription so you may stop the subscription at any time and not have to pay a penalty for cancelling a year's subscription

Beware!! Trying to switch providers when using BT ...

I have been using BT Infinity for over 12 months and am currently on a rolling contract.
I decided to switch providers as BT is way too expensive for me these days.
I have now spent 5 weeks, had almost 20 emails from BT claiming to have "resolved the issue" and spent hours on the phone to both BT and O2, trying to get a contract with another provider....all to no avail. It seems that once you are an Infinity customer it's extremely difficult (if not impossible) to switch to a new provider.
I have had more than one tag removed from my BT line and also had an issue with the router (according to BT) and O2 are saying that it's probably because I'm on fibre optic broadband.
Does Infinity mean that you're stuck with BT for life?
Has anyone got any idea as to what else I can do please?
Many Thanks

I've not heard of anyone having difficulties migrating but maybe that's just because it's still so rare.
Maybe it's rarity is the problem for BT.
PlusNet have an FTTC service on their website so maybe a switch to that would be less painful? Although when I did a service availability check with them they said I could get ADSL but I"m on the FTTP trial in MK with BT & the bloke over the road is on it with PlusNet so I thought they would"ve known what was available here, perhaps the trial info is not in their checker.

I cannot connect to the internet after switching providers. I've changed the email address associated with the new account but am sure there is something else I need to change. Can anyone help me?

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Thinking of switching

Yes, you read that right. I am actually thinking of switching to a different distribution. The situation with the Current repo has gotten that bad... Really, we are miles behind every distro other than Debian. Arch is not bleeding-edge any more; it has become trailing-edge. The Testing repo isn't quite stable enough to use, but there's plenty of stuff in it (e.g. Gnome 2.12) that is stable enough to move into Current, but hasn't been moved. Why? Sure, it's compiled with GCC 4, but would that even be a problem?
Come to think of it... Why wasn't everything switched over to GCC 4 before libtool-slay, so that we'd have an up-to-date Current branch during the slaying?
Look, sorry if I come across as trollish, or don't quite know what I'm talking about (probably the case), but I think I have a fair reason to be. Maybe Arch will be a viable distro again in a month or two, but as of right now it's very, very far behind where it ought to be.
(Frugalware is starting to look rather attractive...)

Good point.
But...do you realize how impatient this makes you look? It's been a month, that's all! Yes, it would be nice to have a tiny bit of news about when it might be all over but as soon as it is over you'll have the one of the most bleeding edge distros around (again). Surely that is worth waiting? But, if you got nothing better to do than reinstall distros all the time then why even bother posting about it, just get distro hopping.
I assume you hope to elicit some news about when it will all be over and the word is "soon". I have also been informed that there are going to be some changes round here soon...
Everyone should have recognised this period for what it is, a necessary evil. I think it could have been handled much better but regardless of that when it is done it is done and I hope some lessons might be learned.
So, don't bother switching. If the end of libtool slay and gcc was announced on Wednesday along with chalk of new dev positions to get things ticking along you'll be pissed if you switch now!
I am considering a new motto:
"When the going gets tough, the not-so-tough piss off to Ubuntu!"
Lightweights!

Incompetent and Liars thinking of switching providers
