Is verizon making money off of robo calls??

I have been getting a ton of robocalls. I asked Verizon what they are doing about it and they said nothing. I can only block 5 numbers unless I purchase a special package from them allowing me to block more. What a joke! At some point, verizon has figured out how to make money off of robocalls. I just got a call from phone number 000-000-0000! How can they even allow that to even go through? Oh, that's right. Almost $9 billion in PROFITS last year, and a CEO who made $7.3 million last year. What do they care? If you ever think lack of competition is a good thing, think again. (PS, I have been waiting for 40 minutes to talk with someone and ask how they can allow a number with all zeros to go through. Oh, that's right, $9 billion in profits.)

VZW does not have an idea where the 000-000-0000 is from, so how can they block it.
Do you have your number on the Do Not Call List?
Have you opted out of the three or four Settings in your Verizon account Privacy Settings?

Calls from Verizon offering money

Has anyone else received a call from Verizon offering them $199.00. I have not enter any contest, signed up for free promotions or anything. My husband and I both received this cal. Do you or anyone know what this is about?

I received one of these calls as well. I was told to log on to vzw50.com Apparently, according to the customer service rep I talked with at *611, there are a number of different websites suggested for receiving your Verizon bonus money. They are all scams, obviously, and need to be reported to Verizon. If you receive a text message of this sort, forward it to 7726; if you receive an email of this sort, forward it to [email protected]; if you receive a phone message, call *611 and report it. There is a team of VZW tech people looking into this. I suggested that all Verizon customers need to be informed so that they are not vulnerable to the negative effects of responding to one of these phishing attempts.
If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is!

ROBO call blocker is blocking my wake up calls

I've had wake up calls for 3 years using my FIOS landline voice mail. I also Implemented robocall blocker about a year ago.
Within the past week, the blocker is now stopping the wake up calls.
Verizon, how do I get around this? I've added the voicemail number that calls with the wake up call to my accepted list,
still no resolution.

that's part of the problem. I don't recall now how I set it up. However, It's illogical that I would have to turn it off
just to get wake up calls. Why now is the blocker recognizing the wake up call as coming from a robodialer,
it never blocked it for the past year.
With FiOS digital voice, there is no native "ROBO call blocker" so you must be using something else. If you're using something like nomorobo then it uses the simulatenous ring feature which can be disabled if nomorobo (or some other service like it) is blocking the call. You check your simulataneous ring setup.

Can Verizon shut me off for switching carriers?

Ok so I recently went through a really bad breakup. The Verizon bill is in my name and on it is an iPhone 5 (my phone) and a Nokia Lumia (ex's phone). I called tmobile today and they're sending me a SIM card overnight to put in my iPhone then I can get their service for $60/mo. My iPhone is due for an upgrade and had been for a while but I've been saving it for the 6. The Nokia however is fairly new and I don't have money right now to shell out for the phone bill and the early term fees. I intend to pay verizon about $100/mo until my bill is paid in full. My question is if I can't start paying them right away, can verizon shut me off even though I will have a tmobile SIM card in and running off their network? I have good credit but the Verizon bill takes a back seat for a few months while I get things in order. Thank you!

Here is what I keep finding
Identify hybrid CDMA/GSM Phones. If the phone is unable to activate on a CDMA carrier such as Sprint or Verizon the blacklisted IMEI could still have the ability to be used on a GSM network. Many of the phones manufactured lately come with a GSM standard, micro or nano sim card slot and have GSM radios allowing for use on a GSM network. Likewise, many of them come factory unlocked even if one of the major providers sold the phone. Such an example is the iPhone 5 from Verizon. If you happened to have a bad ESN iPhone 5 you really don’t have a problem, it comes factory unlocked! You won’t be able to use it on Verizon again, but you should have no trouble using it on another GSM pre-paid carrier in the USA or Internationally. In fact, the phone sold as unlocked has a 15-20% better value than if you sold it on Verizon. One of the first models of this type was the Blackberry Storm several years ago. I remember customers wanting cash would offer extremely low price knowing it had a blocked ESN number with Verizon not knowing that the phone came factory unlocked and was good for AT&T or T-Mobile. All that was needed was a setting change to deactivate the CDMA radio and activate the GSM one. Lastly, make sure that the bad IMEI phone that has a GSM sim card slot actually has a radio and the correct cellular bands to allow service. Some phones such as the original Nexus had a micro sim card slot, but the radio connected to it was only connected to the 4G network not GSM quad band network.
Wow, you really don't get it. The USA universal blacklist (which is also shared with some carriers now in Canada and Mexico) is a universal database of blocked hardware IDs. Any device in the list is blocked by ALL carriers from connecting to their networks. No device on any network anywhere on the planet can connect to a carrier's network if that carrier blocks the device's hardware ID from connecting.
Believe what you will, but universal blacklisting really does render the device useless on ALL networks sharing the blacklist.
And yes, Verizon has already reportedly been adding devices to the Blacklist for breach of contract, failure to pay and so forth - just look in Verizon's own user forums for the tales from those who got stung buying a Verizon phone only to find out the seller had skipped out on their contract, and their nice new phone is basically useless pretty much anywhere in North America since Verizon added it to the blacklist database.

Hey Verizon / HTC / Google Please fix the caller ID problem, post 2.2 Froyo UPDATE.

Hey Verizon / HTC / Google Please fix the caller ID problem, post 2.2 Froyo UPDATE. This is a major Problem.

I have provided some steps below that may help with the Caller Id issue you are experiencing.
Try completing a soft reset on the device. A soft reset would be powering the device off and pulling out the battery. Once the battery is removed, place it back in and power the device back on.
Dial *228 and send. Once dialed, listen for the recording to prompt you for option 1 and select option 1. The phone should complete its programming within a minute.
Ensure you are using the area-code and 7 digit number format (ex. 9999951212)
Try removing the contact and re-adding it.

IPhone 5s screen flashes on and off during voice calls?

Operation is perfect with every other app except whenever the phone detects I'm making or receiving a voice call. No problem on facetime.
The screen will instantly black out and to bring it back I have to press the main button, then screen will reappear but only for an instant before blacking out again.
It does not matter if the phone has been in standby or if I've been actively using it as the call comes in.
Its about the most frustrating thing I can imagine.
One clue, while I'm talking the phone will often mute itself as if my cheek activates the mute function.
I use no screen protector but I do use a case, it still does it when I take the phone out though.
It has done this since new and through at least one software update
Any help really appreciated, thanks,

My wife rang Apple and while both of us spoke to Apple on the land line using hands free and spoke to each other using our iPhone 5s we were able to see that my big paws shadowed the proximity sensor each time I moved in to stab a button! Problem solved! I didn't even know there was a proximity sensor and your reply would have led me to it, thanks.

I bought Take on iTunes, and it took the money off my account, but didn't give me the movie.

I bought the movie Taken, and it took the money off my account, but I never recieved the movie. I googled possible reasons and sulutions, and the only thing I could find is that I have to go to the receipt email, and notify apple or whatever. But when I checked my email for it, I didn't even have that. So I have no idea what to do.

Verizon recording cut into my conference call

Verizon recording cut into my conference call and everyone (100 people on the call) heard it. I was listening to the conference with the mute on (*6). My phone rang--which everyone heard--and the Verizon message that goes to the caller came on. Everyone on the conference call stopped talking as verizon said, "The person you are trying to call cannot be reached at this time. Please call later." This went over the conference call twice. Can I prevent this or is it a Verizon glitch?

Whilst I have no idea about Verizon ,I use a similar device in UK receiving cellular over broadband in property and I have wired broadband with unlimited use
However the device is certainly using bandwidth over my wired service when active
I would try to get a definitive does it or doesn't it and if not then they will cover any cost if they are wrong

How do i get my money off my itunes and onto another itunes

i forgot my itunes security questions answers and put money on my itunes that i cant use but i have another itunes and would like too get the money off this itunes i need help

You can't transfer a balance from one account to another account. Have you tried getting the questions reset ?
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Is it legal for me to create a music remake of an apple loop and make money off it.

Me and my brother made a rock version of one of the apple loops and we were wondering if it was legal to make money off of it by selling it somehow sometime in the future.

That is one of the exceptions that restrict the use of the loops - better have your lawyer look at this:
Using royalty-free loops in GarageBand with commercial workLearn about the usage of royalty-free loops in GarageBand on commercial songs, multimedia presentations, videos, and animations.
It says:
The GarageBand software license agreement says:
"GarageBand Software. You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (Audio Content), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on a royalty-free basis, to create your own original music compositions or audio projects. You may broadcast and/or distribute your own music compositions or audio projects that were created using the Audio Content, however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds."
So don't worry, you can make commercial music with GarageBand, you just can't distribute the loops as loops.
The problematic part is the last sentence:
you just can't distribute the loops as loops.
