Is there a charge for outside line repair?

My dsl line was cut at the pole and will have to be re-run to the house. Will I be charged for this? I had workmen out at the house pruning trees, and they accidently cut the line while working.
The other thing is because I only have a dry loop and no telephone service, it has been extremely difficult to connect to anyone to initiate the repair order. I keep getting bounced to DSL tech support. What I need is Verizon to come out with the truck and reconnect the house.  If I am lucky I will get a call back early next week, right now my trouble ticket only says something like "SYNC / modem blinking". It seems like just telling someone "Workmen cut the phone line between my house and the pole" would be a pretty straightforward problem to address, but it's been a customer service nightmare!

With cellular, yes, as per your data plan with your carrier.
With home wifi, no additional charge on top of your home broadband cost.
With public wifi, depends... some are free, some charge by the hour, day , week, etc.

  • Is there a charge for texting from ipod touch to non apple phones?

    My kids have ipod touches and a couple of their friends have cell phones they are texting to.  Is there a charge for this?  They do have Textie, but I don't think all of the kids have that on their phones.

    It depends what application you are using. The standard Messenger application that comes with iPod 5.0 Software can only messenge iPod to iPod. A third party application, such as textPlus, (which I use) can text to phones for free, with internet connection. The incoming text dosn't charge the recipient. So it is, as it says, free texting.

    Where did you purchase it? There shouldn't be any requirement for MobileMe. You would be best off asking about this in one of the iLife forums - I should try this one:

    Make sure to tell them your Mac's system, and what version of iLife it is and whether it's a boxed set.

    Is there a charge for re-downloading and audiobook on iTunes? My second computer is an authorized iTunes Match, but it doesn't load all my audiobook. If I  download an audiobook that I already purchased via iTunes, Am I going to be charged again?
    Thanks

    Yes you will be charged again.

  • HT204380 is there a charge for facetime

    is there a charge for facetime

    FaceTime is currently free and will probably stay that way unless Verizon does something. A rumor floated around that AT&T cellular FaceTimes would cost extra, but it turns out they just require you to switch to a newer cell phone plan to use it on ther network (which to me could end up like paying), of course it is always undoubtedly free on wifi no matter what.

    FROM THE PHONE DUMMY:  What comes with the monthly phone charge.  Internet?  Email?  Ect?  Is there extra charges for these?

    internet, email, sending/receiving pics, facebook, twitter, etc are using part of the basic 2 gig allowance for data.
    many folks use wi-fi at home/work/any place with wi-fi & that isn't using any of the data.

    Why is there a charge for apps on the Mac laptops and computers and not on the Ipad or Iphone? And the same apps are cheaper on my Nook?

    Kind of unfair. I get the cheapest ones on my Nook and all my friends that have Iphones and Ipads are free.
    Thankyou for answering me though

    This is the iPhone forum, you should check the Quicktime forum. But, to try and help a little, I would say go to Help, About Quicktime and it should tell you what version it is. Also, Quicktime Pro does have a cost involved.

  • Has Anyone Been Charged for the RSD Repair?

    In all the talk about the MacBook's RSD (Random ShutDown) problems, I haven't read anything about a repair fee. It always struck me as a faulty unit that Apple was fixing to make it as it should be. (That is, the "problem" isn't a result of anything the user did.)
    When I dropped off my MacBook at my local Apple Store, it was quickly checked by someone at the Genius Bar. He confirmed that it was shutting down (mine does it pretty consistently) and set up a repair to replace the Heatsink Kit. I signed the work order and left the store.
    Once I got home and read the work order more carefully, I see that there are prices listed for the parts and labor (the total adds up to $149.06). But next to that it says "Amount Due," and it says $0.00.
    I just want to verify that I won't need $150 with me when I pick up my MacBook. Has anyone had to pay for their RSD repairs?

    My heat sink was also replaced but the next day the computer refused to boot...only a frozen screen with a million stripes of colored lines. I took it back to authorized reseller and they reset PRAM and upgraded to 10.4.8 operating system and charged me nearly $200 usd! I've been arguing with Apple Norway (I live in Oslo) and the authorized reseller. They blame each other and no one refuses to reimburse me. Reseller says, "Apple Care does not cover software issues. It was a software problem. Go talk to Apple."
    I posted on this forum too:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=695953&tstart=0
    So be careful of a frozen screen or any other software problems!

  • I am already paying for data so why is there a charge for tethering?

    I would really like to upgrade my Droid to a Droid 4 and use the WiFi hot spot feature. I have not done so yet because Verizon wants to charge me to use this feature of the phone. This appears to be illegal and I cannot understand and justify paying a monthly fee for something I am already paying for. I have seen a few posts on other websites trying to explain why Verizon or any other provider can charge for enabling a feature and not providing any additional service to the consumer however they are all very flawed attempts. I just want a VERY VERY VERY good reason why this is legal and justifiable. Please give me a convincing argument as to why anyone can charge twice for the same thing.
    Tethering does not increase the data capacity of the phone. Tethering allows the phone to act as a bridge (modem) between a device to the network.
    Q: Does Bandwidth increase?
    A: No, if the bandwidth to your phone is 8 Mbps, enabling tethering does not change the bandwidth therefore if a YouTube video is running on the phone and three other devices tethered to the phone they will be sharing the 8 Mbps bandwidth. This means that each device would only be able to use 2 Mbps of bandwidth under heavy usage. (You will not actually get an even split for several reasons and all combined will be less than 8 Mbps but that is due to overhead and OS limitations.)
    Q: Am I allowed to use more data now that I am paying more?
    A: No, if your data plan is for 2 GB per month, you will be charged extra for using more than 2 GB in one month. This includes the data usage of the phone and other devices while they are tethered to your phone.
    Q: Is there any reason to charge for tethering?
    A: (My opinion but I would like to be proven wrong.) The only possible justifiable reason may be for those who have unlimited data plans. Verizon and other providers must provide a level of service that customers will be pleased with. I could be wrong but it would be difficult for someone to use too much data on their phone alone. (I know there are exceptional cases but this is true for the majority.) Verizon and other providers plan the network based on an average (i.e. 1 GB per month) usage for each phone with data. It is much easier and more likely users would consume more data if a device such as a laptop is tethered to the phone therefore users with unlimited plans would cost the provider more money to increase the bandwidth of the backbone. (Limited plans will be charged more but unlimited data customers are not as there is no limit, which is a problem.)
    IMHO: The right thing for Verizon and other providers to do is to stop requesting that phones be shipped which require a provision from the provider so they can charge for the feature. There is legal precedent that it is illegal for a provider of a service to charge a customer for additional devices using their services if the provider is not providing additional service.
    In order for Verizon and other providers to address issues with network capacity and unlimited data subscribers there are a few options available. One is to provide an incentive for those users to switch from unlimited to limited data plans or provide a credit for a device upgrade, etc. An other option is to keep things as they are with phone provisioning but provide tethering to limited data users for no additional charge and to charge users with unlimited plans for tethering. (BTW: I think is the best option.)
    FYI: I do have an unlimited data plan and would be willing to switch to limited data if tethering were included and the prices were the same. Right now there is no incentive for me to switch to a different data plan especially if I need to pay for tethering in addition to limited data. I currently have an iPad with AT&T service which is an additional fee I am paying but if I drop the AT&T plan, upgrade my phone, and add tethering, I would be paying more and getting less so why should I? (The less is that my iPad would not get email updates, etc. except when I turn the WiFi hot spot on, which I understand runs down the battery so you do not want it on 24x7. Oh, another reason Verizon and others should not charge for tethering as tethering is not available 24x7)
    Please I would like some straight honest answers to why it is legal for Verizon and others to charge for tethering and why I should pay for it.

    I want clarify what I am asking for as I fear that many people may be thinking what Wildman stated which is not true. I think it is presumptuous for Wildman to think that I am not sincere and that I will not award points for a correct answer. The closest one to come to a correct answer thus far is jimfitzgerald however I need to see the policy or something in writing that explains what jimfitzgerald stated.
    To help clarify what I am looking for, I will respond to some earlier posts as I think it may help.
    BTW: I think it is premature to ask that points be awarded but I will put a deadline and a default to this discussion. If I don't see a good answer to this post by next weekend, I plan to award the points to Wildman as the points seem to be of importance. I am actually hoping that a good answer is provided so that it will help anyone else who is in the same situation as myself. I think there must be a good answer as I would hope that carriers would not charge for this feature if they are really not providing an additional service. I also would hope that customers are not gullible enough to pay for something twice which on the surface this appears to be. This does seem to come up enough that the carriers should do a better job explaining what they are providing.

    Response: Please provide a reference to the Verizon Source which states this and I will award points as this is an acceptable answer and is what I am looking for as stated in my original post. I cannot just accept a general statement like this as it will carry no wait if I get charged for going over my data limit.

    Quote: "Question #1 ... you will be consuming TWICE as much data ..."
    Response: This is incorrect as the 4G LTE connection will not be able to provide any more data per second than the phone itself. I think you meant to state that you may consume your limit of n GB per month in a period of a week on a laptop verses 3 weeks on the phone which is correct. If you continue to consume data past your limit, you will need to pay more for it so what is your point? If you don't pay more for going over if you have the tethering plan then that makes all the difference. This would be my misunderstanding and would be an acceptable answer. If this is the case, please point me to the Verizon documentation which states this and I will award points.

    Quote: "Question #2 ... You get an ADDITIONAL allowance for your use when you activate a mobile hot-spot."
    Response: This seems to allude to the fact that I may not understand how data usage is counted when tethering is added to your plan. Please provide a reference so I can read it and I will award points. Hopefully we are coming to answer here.

    Quote:  "Question #3 ... but I don't think anyone would be happy with a monthly data bill of $60+ dollars."
    Response: You are correct which is why I am having an issue with this. If I upgrade and keep my current unlimited plan, I will be paying $75 per month for data and tethering. To make matters worse, currently I am not a heavy data user as much of the time I have access to WiFi. I am considering switching to a 2 GB per month plan based on my current usage but I hate to give up my current plan as I will not be able to go back. I will switch however if the tethering was not an added cost or there is in fact an additional data allocation for tethered devices. I already feel that I am overpaying for data based on my current usage. The problem with switching plans is I could see if I have tethering, I may go over one or two months per year as once in a great while I need access and do not have WiFi available.
    FYI: Here is a breakdown of my current usage.
              - Verizon Phone: (Unlimited data @ $45/month) Average Usage 0.23 GB/month
              - AT&T iPad: (2 GB/month @ $25) Average usage 0.89 GB/month
    I do have another problem with switching which is unrelated to the data plan but is related to usage but will increase my cost per month.

    Quote: "Or, in summary, charging for tethering is a way to make the people who use lots of data pay for it, rather than having everyone share the cost whether they use it or not."
    Response: Sorry but my experience is just the opposite.
    I would like to thank everyone who has tried to answer this question. It looks like there may be an answer but I would like to see it explained in black and white from the Verizon site. I cannot switch plans based on posts in this forum alone. If I were to switch then get hit with additional charges one month, I cannot call customer service and say that jimfitzgerald and rcschnoor told me that there was an additional data being provided to tethered devices.
    I hope this helps and I hope this can be answered soon.
