J2ME on cell phones questions

Hi,
I'm in the process of picking a project and wanted to see how doable it is. The project involves a cell phone and a Java program to use Bluetooth. This is real unknown territory for me so my questions are very simple. First does J2ME have packages/classes that allow for bluetooth communication (name)? Or is that a separate package I need to find?
Second, can you save to files/permanent memory from an application running on a cell phone (to save some program settings etc). On the cheapest cell phone usually how little memroy is available? Also can you name some classes that allow for this in J2ME (other libraries).
Finally how standard is all this? What's the probability that the program will run on all of the new cell phones? On all new cell phones from same manufacturer?
Thanks.

Hi,
J2ME has JSR 82, that specifies BlueTooth stack. It's bundled with latest WTK releases (and netBeans 4.0 Mobility Pack as well). If it's available on device depends on HW equipment of the device of course.
For your second Q: RMS storage is defined by MIDP 1.0 itself so yes, you can store some records. Not sure about the size I guess you can count on 8kb. The storage will be more , least I know of is 30kb on Nokia 6310, usual sizes are 1-5 Mb, smartphones use MMC cards, so the size can grow to hundreds of megs.

J2ME and cell phone selection

How can one get information on which cell phone models support J2ME? I am interested in exploring J2ME; any suggestions on which cell phones I should consider as a personal development platform? (I've so far been partial to Motorola.)
Thanks in advance!

Att cell phone question

i want to know if you will be getting any better deal on the att smart phone becuase sometime in july i can upgrade my phone.And will thre be any gift card when you buy a new cell phone?

Depending on the phone you currently own, yes, however the phone you will be getting will be much more expensive than the rebate you will recieve. Dont forget the screen protectors and cases you will undoubtedly will have to purchace. Dont forget rates are always rising too. You cant go wrong with a free smart phone. It wont be quite as up to date, but does the same function and saves a lot of money.

HT4759 cell phone question

can i use a samsug cell phone with icloud?

If you already have an iCloud account you can add your email account using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864. You also may be able to sync your iCloud contacts and calendars using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars. That's about all you could do.

Java Cell phone question

I am wondering if there is a way to write a small java program that will check the time of day and set your volume control depending upon time of day. I am a student and would love to be able to have my volume turned off all the way while at school and not have to worry about remembering to turn it back up.
Is this possible on a Sony Ericsson Z525a?
So far I have only had one semester of Java programming, so while this project may be rather simple to an experienced programmer, it could be a pretty tough learning experience for me. But before I begin, it would help to know if it is even possible.
Thanks in advance!

No you do not have that type of control on the phone I'm sorry to say. The only volume that you can control is whenever you use the media api on the phone. but thats just for playback of audio and video and does not control the overall volume of the phone.
Sorry for the bad news and good luck with your studies.
Cheers

Is there any way to contact verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question?

Is there any way to contact Verizon with a detailed cell phone technical support question? I prefer e-mail so as to provide details (like I am trying to provide here). I have tried in-store personnel (no help at all) and the web chat - they just want to see me more data instead of helping me with my basic problem!
I CAN NOT GET ANYONE FROM VERIZON TO GIVE ME ANY HELP NOR CAN I FIND A WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT. AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT TO DROP MY VERIZON ACCOUNT BUT I'M SURE THAT IT WILL COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE TO GET OUT OF IT.
Here is my issue:
Chat transcript removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
BELOW IS A SCREEN COPY FROM REDDIT ABOUT SOMEONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A VERIZON CELL PHONE
So last night my RAZR MAXX HD did something totally bewildering by spontaneously downloading 2.6 GB of data over the course of ~ 3 hours. Fortunately I was able to catch this problem before it ended up being really expensive, but I still exceeded my 2 GB data plan by 600MB.
The Culprits:
Reddit News Free: 160 MB foreground / 0.96 GB background
Android OS: 0 MB foreground / 1.18 GB background
Several unnamed applications: ~ 350 MB
Screenshots:
The massive data spike
Android OS data usage
Reddit News Free data usage
Weird unnamed processes
Detailed timeline:
5:12 PM: Incident begins according to VZW data usage website (2.60410 GB used). This is around the last time that I used my phone at the laundromat before getting dinner and watching Game of Thrones.
8:04 PM: 50% of data allowance used (txt msg)
8:31 PM: 75% of data allowance used (txt msg)
8:58 PM: 90% of data allowance used (txt msg)
9:13 PM: 100% of data allowance used (txt msg)
10:05 PM: Got the text messages and immediately put the phone into airplane mode
10:30 PM: Took screenshots
10:45 PM: Enabled wifi, installed Kaspersky premium. Scan returned no threats.
11:00 PM: Left phone in airplane mode, went to sleep.
The questions:
What was the root cause of this issue? Did Reddit News freak out as a result of an esoteric bug or was my phone hacked?
If this was a simple Reddit News bug, then why was the Android OS also trying to use such a massive amount of background data?
What the hell are these unnamed numeric applications? I've inspected my process history and this is the first time they have ever attempted to use data.
I'm pretty sure that I can explain this situation to Verizon and get out of having to pay additional data usage fees, but I would like to know more about the problem before I get in touch with them.

All I can think is your phone may have background downloaded an OTA update, and you'd then be prompted with something like, "As update to your Android system has been downloaded, would you like to install it now?"
I do find it very odd that the update would be 2.6GB. As a rough base, the CyanogenMod 10.1 firmware for your device is well under 200MB, so unless Verizon has a ****-ton of bloatware in the update, or it had to attempt to download multiple times for some reason, it may be a stretch.
But doing a little homework, it looks like the Verizon Razr Maxx was updated to 4.1 in late March. Maybe they're still rolling it out in waves? Have you gotten the update yet?
Edit: Aaaand I just noticed you appear to be running an AOSP-based ROM, which totally rules out a carrier update being sent out.
Edit2: If you want to live dangerously, you could try running:
#kill -9 12289
That 12289 is the PID listed in your screenshot. But don't run that without fulling understanding the kill command.
The ps command could also be of use, but probably not.

I can confirm that the phone is currently at 4.1.2 and that I wasn't prompted for an OTA update.The fact that both the Android OS and Reddit News processes were simultaneously using an extremely large amount of data is unlikely to be a coincidence...

That is very curious that the spikes happened at the same time.I'm curious. It may have put at least some of that 2.6GB somewhere. You could use a data visualizer tool to see if you can find it, which may lead to more clues.

The largest directories are:
DCIM: Normal looking photos (90,825 KB)
Android: Primarily map cache data (64,846 KB)
If it was downloading content then it did not significantly save content to storage. It's not like I have anything particularly sensitive on the phone, but the idea that it was uploading a snapshot of my data definitely makes me uncomfortable.

Yup, Digital Camera IMages and videos.Somewhere in /sdcard/Android would be my guess as to where a mysterious file would be downloaded, but if it's only 64MB, and mostly map data, I'd safely rule it out.I'm sorry, but I'm stumped here.Edit: I should mention I don't think this is malware, because unless a malicious app gained superuser access, any data it used would show under it's own apk in the data usage list, not Android OS.

Although I'm not really up to speed with the Android platform, I come from a UNIX background so I feel comfortable running commands. How do I pull up a bash terminal? Do I need to root the phone first?

[–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
There's a number of terminal emulators in the Play Store that work well. You don't need a rooted phone to get to the shell as your user, but any privileged command won't execute unless you can grant it permission from the Superuser app that is installed when you root the device. So you could probably do a ps -e, but not a kill -9.

Got it. I downloaded a terminal emulator but unfortunately those processes no longer exist.Does Android keep a generic log of system level events like /var/log/syslog?

[–]omgmrjmako/PA, deb/Carbon 2 points 1 year ago
I don't think so, and I know you'd need superuser permission to read most of the files in /var/log anyway. I'm not super familiar with how Android does its logging, but I do know that the two files of interest are the logcat and dmesg.

Want to mention here that using your settings to set your data cap (set it on your billing day), then you won't go over again.Those text messages are really unhelpful, as they send out well after the data has been used. Chances are good you hit close to the 2GB mark before you received the bulk of the messages.

Quit installing pirated apps.

[–]lechnito[S] 1 point 1 year ago
That's definitely not the case here; both my PC and and Android phone are free from pirated apps.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Changing Cell Phone Carriers...Question?

I have the Family Share Plan, I have the primary line, I am eligible for an upgrade. My daughter has a phone and is eligible for an upgrade on 7/10/12, my son has the 3rd line and is also currently eligible for an upgrade. I'm thinking about trying a different cell phone carrier and can't seem to find out if I will be charged for canceling my Verizon service on all 3 lines. I can't seem to get any answers, does anyone know how this works?

You need to forget the "eligibily for upgrade date" and look at your actual "CONTRACT DATE" which is 24months from when you activated your phones.
If you decide to move another carrier, you can keep your phone number. All you have to do is 1) dont disconnect your service from VZW before you talk to your new carrier that you want to transfer to. 2) you need to make one of your childrens phones the primary account, and make your line an "addon" line or secondary number. You have to becareful about doing this because you may loose things like unlimited data on that number that is being switched to become the primary line. 3) Have the new carrier do the number transfer. They will automatically notify VZW through the GOVT CLEARINGHOUSE that you are no longer a VZW customer on that one phone number. VZW will then disconnect that line from their billing and will send you a final bill on that line.
Be sure to ask questions from your new carrier about the process.

3102 question - access from cell phone

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a SPA3102 after seeing the comments that you can access it from a cell phone or other landline.
My wife's family is overseas, and I want to use the free international calling from my Voip provider when she is calling from her cell phone or from her job.
I want to verify it will work with the following scenario.
I do not have any PTSN phone service. I only have voip service.
I do have a voip service with unlimited international calling.
Can I configure one of the ports on the 3102 with my current voip provider, and provision the second port on the 3102 to use another voip service (such as gizmo5 etc..). My wife would call the gizmo number from her cell phone, enter a pin, and be able to dial internationally via the free international voip service?
As an alternative, is there anyway of doing this with just the single voip provider (and not worry about the second number)?
I just switched to my current voip service because ATT canceled CallVantage. I am not very happy with the service, but I selected it because it was the only one with unlimited calling to South America, and had the ability to dial an access number to call free from a cell phone.
I'd rather get a new voip service that has better quality, even if they don't have the cell phone access, if I can get the celll access from the 3102.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The SPA3102 doesn't allow voip-to-voip call bridging. It only allows bridging a voip call with a pstn line (FXO port) call. You possibly could use the SPA3102 to bridge a call to another voip service if you interface the other service's ata to the FXO port of the SPA3102. Even if you do that it is not quite optimal and you may have problems.
Some voip providers do not allow you to configure your own adapter and insist that you use a locked adapter that they provide. Others do not have this restriction.
When calling South America with VoIP you can encounter some severe quality problems depending on the voip provider and the provider they use to route and terminate the call. Day of the week and time of day can also make a significant difference. This probably has something to do with the bandwidth available to the provider on the long haul to South America.
One nice advantage of the SPA3102 is that you can setup up to four additional outgoing only providers on the adapter and this allows you to use additional pay-as-you-go (pay per minute) providers and have a choice in calling.
I would try different providers to sample the voice quality to the destination(s) you are calling to find the right combination of cost vs voice quality.
Four pay-as-you-go (pay per minute) providers to check out are CallCentric, Future-Nine, CallWithUs, and OneSuite. Future-Nine and Callwithus have different quality levels (termination routes) that you can specify when you dial.
The providers also have "access numbers" that you can call without having to use a pin although some have more numbers than others and with Future-Nine you can also access their "calling card" function thru SipBroker's access numbers. Access numbers are nice because you can use them without actually having a physical voip service.
With CallCentric you can also get a CallCentric DID (incoming number) and setup your own private incoming number as an access number. CallCentric also has some South American DID's that you can setup as your own private access number..

How can you get a java program working on a cell phone?

I was thinking of making some stuff for cell phones so i was wondering how you get a normal java program to work on cells.

its all j2me - midlet package....Huh? The jsr-118 MID profile alone has 11 packages, one of which is javax.microedition.midlet. Notj2me - midlet.
works best on nokia phones.Sez who? You seem to be confusing Java ME with Symbian C.
you can use net beans midlet packge add-on.Only it's called the NetBeans Mobiliity Pack.
Its easy to use and has lots of tutorials.Ditto for the Wireless toolkit for CLDC.
just search on google.Yes, but with which keywords?
@OP:
NetBeans mobility pack comes with a short tutorial and several samples, you also need to download the latest WTK as the ver. 2.2 which comes bundled with NetBeans is just too buggy to work with. Then there are the manufacturer-specific SDKs from Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and (maybe) others.
If and when you get started in Java ME aka j2me, it will be appropriate to post any questions you might have on the mobility forums, not here.
Google "j2me tutorial" for many good hits.
luck, db

What can Java inside cell phone do?

hello,
i would like to know what can Java inside my cell phone do? can it:
1) run in a background
2) initiate a phone call
3) send an sms or receive an sms
4) can it control bluetooth and to what extend
what are things that java cannot do?
thank you very much!

Hi,
J2ME apps run in sandbox mode. Things can be done using various APIs. To
answer your specific questions:
1) depends on the host device implementation, this is not defined by JCP
2) AFAIK not (due to security). There might be an API however that allows you to
do this on certain devices.
3) Yeah, no problem. See http://java.sun.com/products/wma/
4) Depends on APIs provided by device manufacturer. JCP defined http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=82.
The things J2ME can not do are mostly features like accessing your phone
book, use built-in camera (unless APIs are provided), floating point math
operations, ...
Reading J2ME related JSRs from http://www.jcp.org/ will give you the overview
of what's defined and can be expected from all compliant phones. Other
features may or may not be implemented.
Hope this helps,
Peter

My iPhone 6 order was canceled without my permission and without reason or explanation. I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had

I have had a verizon cell phone for 13 years and have gotten your cable/internet/phone when i moved out on my own because i had been so happy with the experience i had with the cell phone service. i ordered my new iPhone 6 on October 6th along with my husband. i was told by the sales associate at the vierzon store where i placed the order that it would ship a week before halloween. instead of a shipping confirmation, i received an email a week before halloween letting me know that my order had been placed on 10/24/14. i thought this was weird, but figured i could weight another week or two, no big deal. my husband got his phone in the mail yesterday. still no sign of mine. then this morning i got an email letting me know that my order was cancelled and if id like to place another order for a phone, then i can go back to the store and do so. why would i want to go through another month of this??? verzon lost my order. i never canceled it and i am beyond annoyed. i am looking to switch my entire house to another provider. this is ridiculous.

i did not get any reasons or explanations. the email just stated that my order was canceled and that it won't be posted to my credit card (i have more than enough to cover the cost, so that is not the issue). also my husbands phone was paid for from the same card moments before me. my balance is always paid automatically and on time. so that couldn't be the reason either. that's what so frustrating is because they didn't explain what happened. this is what the email read exactly:
"This email is to confirm that your order has been cancelled; you have not been billed for this merchandise.
If you would like to place a new order, you may do so by visiting your local retail store or going online to www.verizonwireless.com.
Business customers should refer back to their local Verizon Wireless Sales Representative if you have any questions or would like to place a new order.
Thank you, and we look forward to your business in the future.
Verizon Wireless"
it almost feels like its saying that i canceled it and that this was to confirm that i did. but i didn't cancel anything.

Multiple Cell Phones?

We recently got Comcast Voice set up in our house and we're now looking at the Connect app to see which features we might use. And I have a few questions. - Can the app be used by two different people on 2 different cell phones?- Whose name will appear on outgoing text messages?- Will text conversations stay local on each phone or end up comingled?- Is there any way to set up separate profiles of any sort for different family members?

Mac OS X > System Preferences > Bluetooth > Devices > select desired device > Create Serial Port (at the left) > + > enter a name you like > select the Dial-up Networking profile > tick all checkboxes > OK
This should create a new port within System Preferences > Network which allows you to connect to a different phone just as you like.

Is Palm Zire 21 Software compatible with Palm Pre Plus Cell Phone?

I have an older Palm Zire 21. I love all the features. However, now I am trying to consolidate my Windows (vista) Calendar with my Palm and it is not compatible. I thought I would purchase the newer Palm Pre plus Cell Phone in order to have all of my contacts and calendars on my phone as well as my laptop. Though no one can seem to answer my question: Can I import my contact and calendar from my Zire 21 to the Palm Pre Plus?
Many thanks to who can answer this for me. I greatly appreciate your time and assistant.

webOS (the new Operating System) from Palm does not natively sync to your computer, but to the "cloud" (online servers).
Palm offers a program that will read your Palm Desktop information, and transfer it to Google. This is only a one-time transfer, and not a sync solution. See this thread.

How can I change the active Midlet using the '*' cell phone button

Hello
I've got a problem trying to do that in J2ME MIDP:
'I have different class extending Midlet that I want to display one after the other. The change may be done when I click the '*' button of my cell phone'
For the moment I've created a main class that extend Canvas and which contain a vector of objects extending Midlet.
I'm able to change the objet which I want to display, but not to display it....
Is it possible to do that?
Do you have any idea of how to deal with that?
Thanks a lot...

Hello
Thx for your answer .. but I shouldn't have explain correctly my problem because I don't think this answer it .. sorry
I need an interaction between a Midlet class and a Canvas class.
In fact I have several forms, and I need to allow my Canvas class to change the form displayed when a button is pressed.
But If I have a form in a Midlet , I can display it but can't catch the click on a button.
And if my Canvas is displayed I don't know how to display the form I want to.
So is it possible to do that... and if so, how?
Thank you very much...

Do you value customer service in a cell phone company?

I am a military member currently living in Arlington, VA. On August 10, 2013, I visited the Verizon Wireless at Fashion Centre store at the Pentagon City Mall (1100 S Hayes St., Ste 3032, Arlington, VA 22202). I visited the store because my cell phone, Droid RAZR, was displaying a blank screen when powered on, rendering it impossible for me to utilize the phone. The phone was a refurbished model because the original purchased in September of 2012 failed in December 2012. The refurbished phone had issues from the get-go, but with my military travel and irregular work hours, getting to the store during a time when it was both open and my phone was acting up, was extremely challenging.
Upon entering the store (Verizon Wireless at Fashion Centre) on the afternoon of August 10, 2013, I was greeted by the manager, Ms. L. After explaining my situation with the phone to Ms. L, she indicated that there was nothing she could do because she believed that the damage was my fault. I reminded her that it was a refurbished phone, meaning it was not new and had been repaired previously. After arguing with me in an inappropriately loud tone and repeatedly calling me a “liar” for stating that my phone had been acting up for a significant amount of time, Ms. L stated that she would upgrade me a year early to a new phone, but that I couldn’t have an Apple model phone. She indicated that new phones would be coming out the following week and that I might want to wait to make my choice until I saw them. Ms. L provided me with her personal cell phone number in case I had questions. I thanked her immensely for agreeing to assist me and agreed to return to the store early in the next week to make my selection.
I called Ms. L on Monday August 12, 2013 to inquire about whether or not the new phones had come in yet. She stated that they had not. Wednesday August 14, 2013, I visited the store to make my selection because my phone had stopped working entirely and I could not wait any longer. When I arrived at the store, Ms. L refused to come out from the back room. Her employees stated that she was out at lunch. I worked with one employee, Paula, to find a phone that would work for me, though I was extremely disappointed that I was not allowed to get the iPhone. We finally settled on the Galaxy SIII.
When I went to purchase my new phone, Paula set me up with another employee, Dionne, for check out. Dionne lacked any sort of professionalism. She had multiple facial piercings and was dressed in a totally inappropriate manner for her job. During our interaction, she got up and wandered around to talk to other people on several occasions without saying a word to me. I asked her to move all of my pictures and contacts from my old phone to my new phone because I was unclear how to do that myself. She told me that she had done so. I also asked her to remove everything from my old phone at the end of the process so as to make sure all of my personal information was cleared off. To this day, I am not confident Dionne even heard half of what I had asked her to do because she was getting up so frequently. After making an approximately $150 purchase (phone, case, and charger), I thanked Dionne and Ms. L, who had finally emerged from the back room, and departed the store.
When I arrived home that evening, I found that I was missing approximately half of my contacts and over 150 of my pictures. Dionne had neglected to transfer everything the right away. I called Ms. L on the personnel number she had provided me and explained that I was distraught over the loss of my pictures and asked her how that could have happened. (I lost numerous pictures from my military deployments, travel, and of my friends that I will never be able to get back). I also lost numerous contact numbers that I will never be able to get back. Ms. L apologized on behalf of her employee, Dionne, and stated that my pictures must not have been backed up to the SD card when the transfer occurred. I asked her why Dionne had not checked on that because not all clients are technically savvy enough to know how to do that. Ms. L again apologized for Dionne’s neglect and incompetence, stating that she planned to “write her up.” Ms. L asked me to call her back the following day so that she could see if anything could be done about retrieving my pictures.
On Thursday August 15, I called Ms. L back as she had requested around approximately 5:00PM. Instead of answering the phone herself, she immediately placed Dionne on the phone. Dionne began rambling about how it was not her fault that my pictures were missing and that I should have known how to use my phone well enough to understand how an SD card worked. When I attempted to interject, she said “Hold on,” set the phone down, and placed me on hold for approximately 3 minutes. Ms. L then picked up the phone and began shouting at me. She stated, “What more do you want from me?...I already got you a new phone, which I should not have done…You are ungrateful…” I stated that I was not seeking anything further, other than I could not understand how Ms. L would let an employee act so inappropriately (particularly in reference to Dionne and how she had gotten up multiple times while I was trying to purchase my phone). I told her that I held Dionne totally responsible for the loss of my pictures and contacts because she did not take the time to ensure my pictures and contacts were backed up and she left the desk to talk to other people frequently during my purchase. Ms. L then stated, “Well, when other customers enter the store, we have to greet them.” I stated that I understood that, but that I was making a significant purchase and believe that I warranted attention as well. To that, Ms. L stated, “Well it’s not like you were buying a $600 phone outright, so that didn’t exactly make you my best customer.” When I attempted to respond to her, Ms. L stated, “You were rude and I put up with your **** the first time you were in the store with your old phone, but I’m not going to put up with you now. I hope sincerely that your phone works, so that I never have to see you again.” I told her I hoped my phone worked as well and said goodbye.
Immediately after my final interaction with Ms. L on August 15, 2013, I called the Verizon customer service line where I spoke with Anthony. Anthony and I talked at length about my experience and the sheer unprofessionalism displayed by the employees of the store (demeanor, language, and appearance). He helped me to file an official report against the store. I spent approximately an hour on the phone with Anthony. At the end of our conversation, Anthony and I set up a 3:30 PM (EST) follow-up phone call for Monday August 19, 2013 to follow-up on the situation. It is now Thursday August 22, 2013, and I have yet to receive a follow-up call from Anthony or anyone at Verizon.
I am disgusted by the all-around unprofessionalism, inappropriate language and tone displayed by the employees of the Verizon Wireless at Fashion Centre store, and the lack of care displayed for the customer by Verizon on the whole. My family and I have been customers of Verizon for years. As a military member, I have been taught that ethics, professionalism and respect are of the utmost value. Not only were none of those values displayed in a positive way during my recent interactions with Verizon, but I am now literally afraid to enter the Verizon Wireless at Fashion Centre store for fear of another negative encounter with Ms. L (the manager) or Dionne. I am truly disturbed that even after making a report like this to Verizon, I have received no follow-up as was promised. I have been treated poorly, demeaned, degraded, and made to feel valueless to a company that my family and I have loyally supported for many years. To add insult to injury, I didn’t even get the phone I actually wanted! At this point, I can say with certainty that I will be shopping around for another cell phone provider in the future and recommending to my family members and friends that they do the same.

I tried for 30 minutes to get to billing and all I could get was a computer that wanted money, no option for service rep. I had to change the date on one of my payments and ever since I have been getting texts saying I missed a payment and I had to call them. After I went through the aboved mentioned I finally called the new business line and was able to get transfered to billing. The lady was rude and didn't want to wait on my responses. She said I had schechuled it for the 1st and that why I was getting these texts , I was holding the paper, gave her the conformation number and told her it was for the seventh, all of a sudden the phone starting breaking up. I never had problems like this till my idenity was stolen and some guys got into my checking account, we caught it early and was able to close the account and open another. I had verizon on auto bill in the account and that was the only one I forgot put in the new info. Of course it was returned as closed. As soon as I saw this I checked the profile and changed it. They charged me the fee ( of course) and I called them to explain why this happened and apologized. Ever since then I have been treated like I'm a bum and that I don't pay my bill. I have been with them since 2000 and I'm thinking of changing it in September when the contract is up.
