Jet pack plan canceled by an agent

I recently transferred my 99.99 20Gb per month Jetpack plan from Millenicom to Verizon. I was Grandfathered in since Millenicom would no longer offer the service. Got the account set up and associated it with my wife's cell phone acct. No problem. But I began to get a separate bill from Verizon for my Jetpack. So I called and asked the agent to combine the two bills onto one statement. This agent then proceeded to cancel my 20 Gb per month Jetpack plan and put it on a shared plan with my wife's 2 Gb cell phone data. When I started to get overage messages, I called back and another agent, after listening to the issue and confirming the reason why, began to work on my request to have my data plan restored. She spoke with a supervisor and after a lengthy amount of time, came back and assured me that all was resolved. 2 Gb on my wife's cell phone and 20 Gb on my jetpack. A week later, still getting overage messages, I check my wife's account. Well, I hate being lied to. No change. I am on my wife's shared 2Gb data plan, have 2 Gb of overages and in the most recent conversation with another agent. "Nothing I can do for you sir. Since you were Grandfathered into Verizon and then a change was made to the plan, we can no longer put you back on a plan that we do not offer." I didn't ask for a change to the plan. It was a mistake by the agent. If you can change the plan to take away the data, how is it that you can't restore the same plan that was in effect?  I'm now paying 20 dollars a month for a jetpack I can't use. I can no longer use my laptop outside of my home unless I can find a free wifi signal. I am beyond angry. How can such a simple request be so mismanaged. After nearly 20 years with Verizon, I told my wife, if this doesn't get resolved, we're changing carriers.

We cant help you with account issues.  All you can do is contact VZW and work with the reps that you are transferred to.
If VZW is not able to meet your needs then you should do what is best for yourself and be prepared to move on accordingly.  Let VZW win your business back rather than you going out of your way to remain their customer.

  • Is SIP service blocked on the data plan for a Jet Pack.

      I get fine SIP service on my local WIFI and none on my Verizon Jetpack. Seems anti competitive and illicit to me.  I have 4 bars of 4G service.

    We can use our SIP service over our own Internet/WIFi connection using a computer to receive the WiFi and “route” the connection to a SIP phone via the RJ-45 connector on the computer.
    When we switch from our WiFi connection to the Verizon Jet pack WiFI service on the computer, SIP service no longer works.  When we switch back to our own WIFi connection, SIP works again.

  • High usage with Jet Pack

    I am having the same issue with Verizon, just switched to the Jet Pack with them a month ago, I have upgraded to 10 GB and after 6 days it said I was at 75%.  75%!  That is ridiculous, I have 10 GB.  They seem to give the same answer to everyone, shut the modem or the computer off at night.  Really?  That is just ridiculous, obviously if this many people are having issues, Verizon you need to fix it! I got a new Sim card today, have to see how that goes, but I am basically afraid to use the computer at this point, since I know I will get a text shortly saying that I am over my limit after 10 days into the billing cycle.  Just like everyone else, I don't stream movies, just basic internet usage. I want to cancel my service because now I have to upgrade AGAIN!  My internet is costing me $100 per month!  I left AT&T at $35 a month, your cost is excessive and unnecessary!  I also have 2 phones with you as well and as soon as my contract is up, good bye Verizon!  I have been with you for 9 years, and I know there has to be a better way than this.
    Signed,
    Irritated!

    I completely sympathize. I have posted elsewhere my experience and disgust with Verizon about the issue of large data sessions of multiple GBs when there is no computer or devise connected to the Jetpack.  But worse is the total arrogance of the Verizon representatives I have spoken to about this issue. Forgive me if I re-post, but, I want to share my experience as widely as possible to warn-off anyone from doing business with Verizon. I have 5 iphones and despite streaming videos on youtube, etc, I have never exceeded the 3GB plans on any phone. Now I have had a jetpack for 5 days with only one laptop from my office which is connected to the jetpack and have 7 GB of data use, having never streamed a video, never downloaded a file other than short emails, and have all automatic updates off on my computer. In fact, the way our organization configures our laptops, it is impossible to update or download software, and certainly I would never use the office laptop for streaming, etc. I originally purchased the jetpack so I could read and send work emails while on vacation where I do not otherwise have internet access and using my phone is cumbersome. What a terrible mistake and please, everyone, do not make the same error by doing business with Verizon! Anyway, here is my original post.
    "I wish I had read these posts before purchasing a jetpack and opening an account with Verizon. I purchased a new 6GB data plan. Within hours of connecting the devise to the network it registered over 3G of data usage, even when there were no devises (e.g, no computer or any other wireless devise) logged into to the jetpack. Two days later there was another 1.5 GB data session, again when there was no devise connected to the jetpack. In fact, there has only ever been one computer connected to the jetpack (as access is password protected), and that computer was on an airplane several hundred miles away when the data session occurred. I called customer service and spoke to someone named Jeff (he refused to identify himself further) who indicated that it is "normal" and not unexpected since the Jetpack updates and connects to the network, especially soon after activation. He admitted that there would be large data sessions even when all devises were shut, and the data use (e.g.,3GB) was just due to "normal" network activity. Needless to say I expressed my outrage, but he said, "that is just the way the system works and I should not be surprised by intermittent large data sessions, even if there is no devise connected to the jetpack". I asked him, "Can you imagine if your phone suddenly showed 4GB of extra data usage, evening though there was no email downloaded or website visited, just by virtue of your phone being on Verizon's network?" His response was simple: this is not a phone. Beware of Verizon jetpack. I certainly will terminate my service and end any other relationships with Verizon as soon as I can. This really is unethical, and possibly criminal."

  • Jet Pack misinformation

    After doing some research, and asking a LOT of questions about the Verizon jet pack, including telling them exactly what we planned to do with it (Stream video from Netflix, Hulu Plus), we decided to try it out as our internet bill here is getting out of hand. I was told that 5G of data would be plenty for what we wanted to use it for. We hooked it up...very slick and easy to use, and used it ONE NIGHT. The next day I had an alert that we had used HALF of our data!!!!!! I called immediately and the representative told me that I had been MISINFORMED  about it being the right internet connection to use for what we were going to use it for!! I canceled right then. Then I got my bill....there was $100 in extra fees!!!!! Overage charges, set up fee, re-stocking fee....I was FURIOUS!! When I called and complained, the representative was able to get the set up fee and overage charge taken off...a whopping $41 of the $100!!!!!! I shouldn't have had to pay a THING since it was VERIZON'S MISINFORMATION that I even ordered it in the FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!! We have been with Verizon for SEVEN years.....I have never felt so betrayed in the years we have been with them. They have always been good to work with. For the first time since we went with Verizon I am thinking of going with a different company!!!!!

    If you did research you would have known that 5 GB is NOT good enough to stream Netflix or Hulu. And of course a salesperson is going to tell you yes their service will work for what you want. They don't want you get service elsewhere. Or the salesperson was just stupid which is a real possibility.
    Netflix tells you on their own site that HD streams use up to 2.8 GB an hour. Seriously how many movies did you think you could watch with only 5 GB regardless of what person told you? Sorry but mobile internet is not for streaming movies or music for that matter. It's for BASIC web browsing. 1 hour of Netflix a day could use 70 GB per month or more. You need REAL internet if you want to do that.

    Good quality (uses up to 0.3 GB per hour)
    Better quality (uses up to 0.7 GB per hour)
    Best quality (uses up to 1 GB per hour, up to 2.8 GB per hour if watching HD, or up to 4.7 GB per hour if watching 3D)

    In addition, you will need a broadband internet connection.
    For Standard Definition videos we recommend a downstream bandwidth of at least 1.5 Mbps for a smooth playback experience.
    For High Definition videos we recommend a downstream bandwidth of at least 3 Mbps for a smooth playback experience.
    3 Mbps by the way= 1.3 GB per hour

  • Jet Pack ussage overages due to equipment failure, where to get help?

    During the month of May, I received alerts that my data usage on my jet-pack was exceeding our usage plan. This is highly unusual for my husband and I as we simply use the Jet Pack for internet (it's not connected to our television or any kind of home management system). There are two users (My husband and I) in the house, neither of which use the internet for more than web browsing. We do not download movies, or transfer giant files. A 10G plan is more than enough, as our normal usage usually leaves us with 3-5G left over.
    When the overages started, I immediately contacted Verizon about this to try and find the problem (investigation of phone records will prove this timeline). We went through the standard procedures to make sure of certain things like, a secure password, that we were turning our devices off at night, so on and so forth. After several days of back and forth between customer service representatives and finally technical support it was discovered that the battery in the device had "burnt up" (for lack of better term) and in the process it also burnt and warped the SIM card.
    We had to go to our local Verizon store to get a new SIM card and a battery was shipped to us by Verizon. At our local Verizon Store we were told the damaged SIM card could definitely have caused data overage issues, because of data transfers being repeated, and that once the equipment was inspected by Verizon the charges would surely be corrected. Verizon Support didn't agree and said we had to pay the balance due. We disputed the overage portions of the bill and they were set aside until the battery got to Verizon for inspection. Verizon never asked to see the SIM card just the battery.
    That battery has since arrived at Verizon and has been inspected. Verizon support told us that neither the battery nor the SIM card could have caused the overages or any kind of data transfer issues and it was our responsibility. We have paid the balance.
    When our usage is reviewed, it is extremely obvious when the overages started. We went from using 10-20,000k a day to 1-1.5 million k per day. Over the course of the next two weeks we battled this overage problem with the Verizon Support Team. Once the battery and burnt SIM card were discovered, technical support told us to stop using the device and they would send a new battery and we needed to get a new SIM card from our local store. (Note: I had already purchased a second battery for our use [power outages, or traveling] but it took a day to get a SIM Card) You can see in our data usage the 0K usage, this being the time it took to get the new SIM card. With the new battery and new SIM card installed we were back to our original normal usage of 10-20K per day. By examining the usage, it's plainly obvious that the damaged battery and SIM card were the problem.
    The proof is in the pudding here. The bad battery and burnt/warped SIM card caused astronomical data transfers, once the battery and burnt SIM card were replaced all was back to normal. The data usage and our phone conversation timelines with Verizon are both easily inspected by Verizon, however Verizon still claim it's our fault.
    Prior to taking this to court I would like to make sure I have exhausted all my channels with Verizon (This forum being one of my available channels), I would think that if someone in Verizon management would take a few minutes to look at the our data usage versus phone conversations, our usage history, and the damaged equipment and match that information with the phone records of our calls for support, they will see that we tried to do everything in our power to correct this issue while it was happening and that it was an equipment failure that caused the problems.
    As I mentioned, we have paid the bill, however, this is only to keep the peace at this moment.
    I am willing to take this to small claims court if need be, but there has to be a more civil solution for both parties here.
    What is my next step per the support here in the Verizon Support forum?

  • I'm trying to manually activate my jet pack, but when I connect to 'my.jetpack' the screen has been saying it's activating for over an hour now.

    It is just stuck at the activating screen on my jet pack and my.jetpack. I've tried restarting it, using a different browser, connecting to 192.168.1.1, and connecting it by tether and wireless.

        Hello mcyork.
    I'm sorry you are experiencing a delay when activating your Jetpack. Because you are using a Jetpack, it is important to ensure that your SIM card is correctly installed. Which model Jetpack do you have? If you are still unable to activate the device, please try powering down and removing and reinserting the LTE SIM card. Please keep us updated.

  • How come I can't connect to my wifi on my iPad?  My other think pads are connecting.  I reset all my settings and nothing.  We have a jet pack and I can connect to that?

    I can't connect to our wifi.  All our other think pads are connected.  We have a jet pack and am able to connect...but why not our two think pads?  I reset my settings and still doesn't work?  Thx

    Try rebooting the router. Whether or not it is working with other devices does not matter.

  • Is there virus software for jet packs?

    Is there virus software for jet packs? All IPs have free virus protection, does Verizon?

    Nope.
    Jetpacks do not support virus software on themselves.  Only the clients that are connected to the Jetpack need to have virus protection like your laptop, smartphone or other wireless device.  This is commonly the situation for routers and modems.
    Otherwise if you wanted to provide yourself with extra protection then you would have to look into setting up some kind of a 3rd party firewall.  The firewall would protect your device from direct exposure to the Jetpack.  The virus protection software on your devices would then only have to worry about what makes it through your firewall.  Most OSs come with some kind of a firewall built into them already though.

  • Nokia Messaging Plan cancelled

    Hi,
    I have set up Nokia messaging with my former E63. Some month ago I got my new E72. When I set up mail it said that I already have an account that I can use. So did I.
    Now I got an automatically generated mail that said my old phone is used by someone else but my mail is secure. The account is cancelled. I can still log in but the original status: "Nokia messaging plan bought with phone" is cancelled.
    So I set up a new account but now the status is: TEST.
    Thats not acceptable.
    How do I get my old account re-activated?

    Same thing happened to me after i changed my phone from E63 to E72, i called their support in my country, gave my master email address (that i used to create the acoount, same one you use to log into the administration page), my new IMEI, and they activated back on. The only this is now on Profile i have "Nokia messaging tiral", but i used to have "Nokia messaging subscription purchased with device". I called back, they said it's ok it's not a trial and it won't close. My account is back on now, i hope it will stay on !
