Is Verizon turning our phone records over to the NSA?

Another case of Big Brother and Big Government trampling on its citizens.  First the IRS, the State, then Health and Human Services, then Labor.  As a customer I detest this unwarranted dragnet.  Secondly, are they doing it to other companies?  Gee  whiz, is there a camera in my bathroom?

Don't just call customer service, call people in their PR department and try to get them on our side.  Verizon has lobbyists in DC that could help get change in the law.  Here are numbers for Verizon's PR department:

Call you congressman as well! 
House of Representatives:

Senate:

They are the ones with the power to change the law and stop the NSA from doing this.  Lets get Verizon on our side and convince Congress and the President to change the law!

  • I have 56 updates on my phone,I resynced to itunes, downloaded info to pc, turned off phone and restarted, but the 56 apps whether I try one at a time or update all, nothing works?

    I have 56 updates on my iphone 4. I have already downloaded the ios7, which I wish I didn't. whether I try downloading one or all and put in my password, it circles and then does nothing? I still have 56 updates?
    Heidi

    Apple id password does not change the apple id login information. What I'm saying is that the apps you are attempting to update require you to use the SAME apple id login as you had when you first downloaded the app.
    If you now have a different apple id login (not password) then what you had when you downloaded the app it will then require you to revert back log out of the apple id you are currently using and login to your device with the apple login you were using when downloading the app initially.
    good luck hope this helps.

  • HT204053 I have changed my apple ID and I changed it via computer.  When I just went to update my apps, my phone is still showing the old apple ID so I can't log in to update.  How do I change the apple ID from my iphone?

    I have successfully changed my apple id via computer.  Now, how do I change it on my actual phone?  I have the 5.1.1 iphone 3G.

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices. 

  • Same set of Records not in the same Data package of the extractor

    Hi All,
    I have got one senario. While extracting the records from the ECC based on some condition I want to add some more records in to ECC. To be more clear based on some condition I want to add addiional lines of data by gving APPEND C_T_DATA.
    For eg.
    I have  a set of records with same company code, same contract same delivery leg and different pricing leg.
    If delivery leg and pricing leg is 1 then I want to add one line of record.
    There will be several records with the same company code contract delivery leg and pricing leg. In the extraction logic I will extract with the following command i_t_data [] = c_t_data [], then sort with company code, contract delivery and pricing leg. then Delete duplicate with adjustcent..command...to get one record, based on this record with some condition I will populate a new line of record what my business neeeds.
    My concern is
    if the same set of records over shoot the datapackage size how to handle this. Is there any option.
    My data package size is 50,000. Suppose I get a same set of records ie same company code, contract delivery leg and pricing leg as 49999 th record. Suppose there are 10 records with the same characteristics the extraction will hapen in 2 data packages then delete dplicate and the above logic will get wrong. How I can handle this secnaio. Whether Delta enabled function module help me to tackle this. I want to do it only in Extraction. as Data source enhancement.

    Hi,
    You will have to do the enhancement of the data source.
    Please follow the below link.
    You can write your logic to add the additional records in the case statement for your data source.

  • How do i turn my iphone back on after the latest update?

    I just updated my IPhone 4 to its latest version. I am not sure what the numbers are cause I forgot, but my phone hasn't been able to turn on for almost 3 days now. When I press the power button the Apple logo pops up and then the cord charger pops up after. Instead of showing the battery like it is charging it is showing the iTunes app. I am not sure what this means. How do I turn my phone back on?

    The iTunes icon and cable means that the phone has gone into recovery mode (e.g. If you can't update or restore your iOS device)
    You will need to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and you should then be able to reset the phone back to factory defaults, and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

  • How to change 2 phones from synching to the same icloud for seperate users

    My husband has an iphone 4 and I have the 4s. For some reaseon when he set the phones up, all of our information is backed up to the same icloud account, even though we both have seperate apple id's. Anytime we plug our phone(s) into the computer, the apps for his phone download to mine and vice versa. I keep getting a message that there is not enough storage for the icloud backup on my phoneand I know it is because both of our phones are synching to the same icloud account. How can I correct this?

    it's possible that you're not actually using two seperate Apple ID's, but still use different emailaddresses to log in, meaning it's an alias for the same apple ID instead of seperate Apple ID's.
    Go to appleid.apple.com and log in there. You'll see a primary emailaddress, wich is either yours or your husbands.
    If you then scroll down, you'll see alternate emailaddresses, wich again, will contain either your or your husbands emailaddress.
    If this is the case:
    Remove the alternate emailaddress from that account and create a totally new Apple ID with the emailaddress you removed.
    Although this is possible, i't not very likely. Are you getting his contacts/calendars and stuff too  on your device ??
    Apps can be synced to your device, regardless of icloud account settings btw...

  • Verizon can't find my payment, even with bank documentation...turned off phones!

    Amazing...over three hours on the phone, various emails with attached copies of documents my bank gave me of payment made inc EFT numbers and they still turned our five phones off briefly until we called yet again.  Over three hours of talking to them and emails and they still show me as late.  Multiple promises of call backs the same day and no one ever calls us back except by customer no service reps calling and asking when we're going to pay!  Six weeks of this going on...I've never seen anything like this.  I've asked to be let out of my contract after 15 years with Verizon as soon as they find where the money went, which they will since I did pay.  Mistakes are okay; we all make them.  How they are handling it is what makes me very angry.  They don't even want confirmation number information...it's only "for my records".  I thought confirmation numbers were for this very reason.  I'm 50 years old and have never seen anything like this!

    Hello johnnyridg! You know, I've had a very similar experience and I can still remember the aggravation I felt! Believe me, I do know what you're going through. I would like to help! If this issue remains unresolved, please reply back to this thread. I'll be happy to take a look at your account and discuss your options with you!

  • NSA collecting phone records of millions of Verizon customers daily

    "Top secret court order requiring Verizon to hand over all call data shows scale of domestic surveillance under Obama"
    Folks, you need to read this article.  Did Verizon protest this Obama Administration order, even going to the courts to not comply?  No word of that in the Guardian article.
    Of course, now that I've posted this, the National Security Agency will flag me.  
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-records-verizon-court-order

    Bozlo,  I thought the same thing, but how do we know Obama isn't gathering all the data from the other carriers as well?  I would not put it past that lying traitor. 
    Here's another article about it.  The is really hitting the fan today.  Yet one more Obama scandal.  I hope we take the Senate and keep the House in 2014 (I'm sure we will) and that our Congressmen and Senators have the guts to impeach this fraud.  He has trampled the Constitution and Bill of Rights...he disgusts me.

  • I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls from my daughter's phone. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot?

    I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls sent from my daughter's phone; I'll call this phone 2. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot? My other daughter has a new IPhone5c too. She receives calls and texts from sent from phone 2. Any tips for remedying this problem?
    Thank you.

    Turn off iMessage in your phones settings.   Apple devices can only use iMessage to other Apple devices.
    Turning off iMessage will allow the messages to go as regular text messages.

  • How can I get someone to answer the phone? I'm ready to give VERIZON my business. I sat on the phone for over 20 minutes only to be transferred to "Sales." I then sat on the phone for another 15 minutes!!!! I finally hung up.

    How can I get someone to answer the phone? I'm ready to give VERIZON my business. I sat on the phone for over 20 minutes only to be transferred to "Sales." I then sat on the phone for another 15 minutes!!!! I finally hung up.

    It takes an enormous amount of patience and time to get through to a qualified person.
    My Samsung S5 was locked out and needed a factory reset. Including attempts to achieve this locally, it took over an hour before my problem was even addressed.
    You may be interested in my journey to a very good technical support person.
    First I called the local sales person who had given me his personal business card with the friendly advice to call me with any questions. No answer at about 8:30 am when the business was open. His voice mailbox was full.
    Then I called the local store where I had purchased the phone. The person who answered the phone had learned all the proper stock phrases, but was not familiar with the issue, stated that there were no customers in the store, and I should go there in about an hour when there would be more staff. He suggested dialing *411 from my phone (which was locked). Then he gave me a number to call Verizon, which he had to look up, and it took a minute or so. The number was (removed). That is an internal number for employees and contractors and requires a code to access, obviously not designed for customers' use. He finally cut me off by stating that there were a number of customers in line waiting for his attention!
    After researching all my papers I found 800-922-0204 on my bill. The automated message suggested a hold time of 5 minutes, it took 20 minutes for a Customer Service Representative to pick up, and then I was referred to technical assistance. The hold time was announced to take 5 minutes, after 12 minutes I finally was connected.
    Fortunately I had my computer set up for Skype on a loudspeaker, and was able to do some other paperwork while waiting.
    Persistence was rewarded by having the good fortune to be connected to a very experienced, qualified and patient technical support staff with the name of Thomas (removed). He solved my problem, answered my questions during the process of resetting the phone, and gave an example of courteous and kind customer service that I had never experienced before when dealing with any major internet company.

  • I know the day and time of a conference call that took place b/w 2 Verizon customers and a 3rd party but it is not reflected in either phone record. Why?

      I am an attorney with a law firm that is involved in litigation where the date and time of a 3 way call that took place in June 2009 between an attorney at my firm, a broker, and the broker's client.  The broker and broker's client are both Verizon Wireless customers.  I have their phone records for June 2009.  I am 100% certain a three way phone call took place between the attorney in my firm, the broker, and broker's client.  However there is no phone record that shows a phone call between all three individuals. . 
    The first Verizon Customer is a local real estate broker with a West Palm Beach, Florida  phone number with a 561 area code.  The other Verizon Customer is the broker's client and was in CT on both 6/24 and 6/25.  The broker's cell phone records were reproduced by Verizon in 2014. I believe the client's cell phone records were reproduced by Verizon in 2013. The client has an 860 area code.  The law firm is in Palm Beach County with a 561 area code.  Any phone call from the law firm to the broker would be local and would only show up on the broker's cellphone record.  Any phone call from the law firm to the broker's client (who was not a client of the law firm) would be reflected in the law firm's long distance records.  There is no such phone call.  The broker's cell phone records show a 10 minute phone call between the broker and the law firm at 2:24 p.m on 6/24.  There is a 8 minute phone call from the broker to the law firm at 9:39 am on 6/25 and a 22 minute phone call from the law firm to the broker at 9:48 am.  The broker's cellphone record shows that during the 9:48 phone call the broker attempted to perform a 3 way call with the client at 10:04 and again at 10:05. Each attempt lasts just 1 minute and neither shows up on the client's cell phone records.  The phone call with the law firm and broker lasts an additional 4 minutes.
    The broker's and client's cell phone records show a 10/11 minute phone call on 6/25 depending on the record at 8:41 am.  There are numerous other phone calls between the broker and client on other days.   
    If the broker called the client then called the law firm, then the initial phone call should be reflected in both Verizon invoices, and the 2nd call should be reflected in the broker's record.
    The same would be true if the client initiated the phone calls.
    If the broker called the law firm or law firm called the broker, then called the broker's client the phone call should be reflected in the law firm's long distance records and the client's records.  It is not. There is no documentation that shows the client was participating in a 3 way call.
    My question is why not?   Alternatively, is it possible for the 3 way call not to be reflected in the records?  I have the phone records of both customers. I also have the invoice number for the broker.  How can I find out if the broker added the client to any of the above calls. 

        Hi papal74. I am sure that this is a situation in which these call records are extremely important. In order to provide additional information about these call records we would need to speak with you personally. Please give us a call at 800-922-0204. This way we can get down to the bottom of this.

    Hey Posada143, You can still try the rice thing, but do not expect much, as roaminggnome has stated. The rice only works if you do it ASAP and leave the iPod off-- do not attempt use, turn on or charge until it is completely dried out. This is probably academic at this point but remember this for the next time: The drying can take 10 days. You put the uncooked rice and iPod in a sealed bag, change the rice every couple of days. This creates a low humidity environment and draws the moisture out of the iPod, but it takes time. Turn your iPod on to earlier, and you run the risk of shorting out, damaging the components inside. Even if done correctly it can spotty. If you do get the iPod to work (and this may require Resetting, Restoring or attempting to place it in DFU recover mode) the first thing you do is make backups, because you never know how long it will continue to work. As for your pictures, if you can't get your iPod to work, you can try data retrieval companies, however; there is no guaranty it will work and it tends to be very expensive. In the future get in the habit of as making backups, because you just don't know. And invest in and use a water tight case. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • Hi my mum has recently gotten a white iphone4 and i have a black iphone4 we both would really want to switch over our phones with each other i was just wondering if there would be any issues would the data contract be switched over???

    please can someone help me i have got a black iphone 4 and my mum has got a white iphone 4 we would like to switch both of our phones with each other we are just worried if the data services and our contracts will be switched over we dont care about our phone music and contacts ok thankyou

    Most carrers won't care if you change phones as long as you are payng for al the services they require.  Since you both have iPhones, it probably won't be an issue, but since we don't know who your carrier is we can't say it they will have a problem with you making that change or not.  The only way to make certain it won't be a problem is to contact your carrier...

  • Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline.

      Hi, need help on resolving this issue with Verizon.  Had Verizon FIOS triple play installed at my house about 12 days ago.  HD Prime, 15/5 internet and Digital Voice landline.  I switched from TimeWarner cable.    I signed up online for Verizon FIOS and tried to use my current house  telephone number when signing up.  Next day I get a call from a Verizon rep telling me my order was lost even thou I had a confirmation number and that I would have to redo my online sign up.
     I wanted to keep my old telephone number that I had with TimeWarner and port it over to Verizon.  What I did to save my old house phone number was I ported my TimeWarner house telephone number over to an activated cellular Tracfone that I own.  So I resigned up online and selected a new telephone number and the order went thru and I had my FIOS installed at my house.
      What I have learned from talking with Verizon billing, is because my old telephone number  that I had with TimeWarner  had been originally given to me by Verizon many years back and then it was  ported over to TimeWarner from Verizon that Verizon now won't port the old number back over to my house landline  because they have already ported it out once years ago for me. 
      One suggested I create a new account, don't know it this can be done or not.  I got a really good price on the FIOS Triple Play bundle I had installed and don't want to loose the great Verizon FIOS price deal I have.
      Really frustrated at this point, being told before installation that I could keep my old phone number, spending a lot of time on the phone and then being told I can't do it after installation is completed.
      Any ideas on how to get or make Verizon port over my old telephone number I have on my Tracfone now to my Verizon FIOS landline?  I was told by a Verizon rep that it can't be done and they won't do it since the telephone number is my old Verizon phone number from many years ago that they ported out they won't port in back it now.   Wow, talk about a "Can't do" attitude.
      Any and all constructive input is welcomed.  Thanks for reading this.
