MSG HD - FCC Rules in Favor of Verizon and AT&T
Please see the link below. The FCC has ruled in our favor. The FCC has given Cablevison 30 days to comply. I did read somewhere, that Cablevision is thinking about yet another appeal, or perhaps just ignoring the FCC mandate.
Keep your fingers crossed everyone!

Here is Cablevision's Reply - It is not over yet.
"Today's disappointing rulings do not appear to be based on the facts," said Cablevision in a statement. "The data clearly demonstrates that there has been no competitive harm to the nation's two largest phone companies as a result of not having two HD channels they already receive in SD. New York is the most competitive market in the country and this decision only hurts fair competition and consumers. Instead of competing on the merits in the marketplace, Verizon and AT&T are manipulating federal law to gain an unfair advantage and we have every intention of pursuing relief in the courts."
I can't wait for Cablevision to be rejected again...I want my Rangers in HD!!!!!!!

Has anyone had any kind of issue with their phone breaking after getting a message from Verizon, thereby requiring them to get a new phone, and hence, a new plan, that will be more expensive? I have an old plan, the Singlerate West 300 that they have been trying to get me off of for years. It's a great deal. Yesterday, after coming back into the country, my phone started to retrieve a message from 7770000001, which I found online is from VCAST/Verizon, and while trying to retrieve it, the screen suddenly failed so that now only the top quarter of the screen is visible, making it impossible to text or see contacts. I've been working on it on-line and with Verizon all day and my only options will all lead to me getting a new plan that is more expensive, even if I replace it with the same phone. New rule - you can't renew an old plan if it's not currently being offered. Is Verizon sending out software that can ruin a phone requiring a new one, with a new plan that's more expensive?

I have an iphone4 (Verizon) and an iPad (AT&T), and starting this morning, neither one is receiving my mail from Yahoo. I can send an email from Yahoo on both devices, but I can't see any messages. It's clear that both devices know how many messages are in my inbox and how many are unread (I get a "Load More Messages" notice. Any ideas on how this can be fixed? After reading thru some discussions, it looks like the new operating system may be to blame. I only updated in the last few days... Help!
Yahoo's mail service is notoriously buggy. It's not your phone or your device.

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?
If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

How can I swap phone numbers between Verizon and T-Mobile phones?
I have Verizon and T-Mobile phones. My wife uses the T-mobile phone and I the Verzion phone. I was given a GSM iPhone 5 that I want to use on the T-mobile account, so I want to move the Verzion phone number to the T-Mobile phone and the T-Mobile number to the Verzion phone. I do not want to have to inform all our friends about the number swap. I also would like to maintain phones on different networks for reliability and connectivity assurance.
I called the Verizon wireless number and the person couldn't help me. The best I can figure out is to give up on Verizon and move the Verizon phone number to a new T-mobile account.
Any ideas?They are both 4g phones correct? All verizon phones come unlocked. If the verizon phone works with tmobile all you do is take the sim card out and stick it in the phone. however when you do this it is going to erase everything on the phone so make sure you back it up before swaping sim. As far as using the tmobile phone with verizon you would need to ask tmobile if the phone is unlocked

I have an iphone 6. Recently purchased a gizmo pal for my son. Set up was easy. Works great. However, I want to be able to change caregivers when I leave him with someone so that they can call him and he can call them. The only way to do this is to reset the entire device. Shouldn't be that way ... seems that you should be able to click on the caregiver and change it. Anyone else have this problem or a resolution? Verizon and LG have both been unsuccessful in helping.
Weinmaster5,
I understand your concern and definitely want to help! Have you tried adding the additional caregiver this way http://vz.to/1zE7nMX?

I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button is not working
I have i phone 4 from verizon and the power button isn't working anymore, I bought my i phone 8 months ago.
What options do I have and what should I do ?Hello James,
The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

What are the physical internal differences between the iphone 4s on Verizon and AT
I fix Iphones all the time and i know that the iphone 4 in Verizon and AT&T are the same from the outward eye ( other then the sim trey and some antena placements) but the Iphone 4s is the EXACT same in both companies...right?
Physically they are the same. The CDMA radio is disabled in the AT&T phone. The Verizon iPhone 4S, even with the SIM slot unlocked by Verizon, can never use any US network other than Verizon.

I bought my iPhone from Verizon and having their service. Does my iphone has a default SIM PIN?
The 4G LTE SIM card in your device contains information about your plan, device and more. You can set a SIM PIN so others won’t be able to access that information if your SIM card is removed from your device.
If you remove your SIM card and insert it another device (e.g., when you upgrade to a new device), you’ll be asked for the SIM card PIN. You can find your SIM card PIN in My Verizon if you’ve forgotten it. Or, if you’ve entered your SIM card PIN unsuccessfully 3 times, you’ll need the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) to unlock your SIM card again. After using the PUK, you’ll need to create a new PIN for your SIM card if you want to secure it again.
To locate the SIM PIN / PUK numbers for your 4G LTE SIM card:
Navigate to the Overview page in My Verizon.
Click My PIN and Unblocking Key (PUK) under About My Device.
Your default PIN and PUK will be displayed in a pop-up window.
Click Close when you’re finished to return to the My Verizon Overview page.
You’ve successfully located your SIM PIN and PUK. -
Can anyone HELP? My calendar A) no longer works and B) has deleted all the information that was in my calendar. All appointments, etc. I NEED this. Verizon and Google say they cannot help, so what else can I do?
Hi Lynne
I'm so sorry your having calendar issues. Was the device backing up with Gmail? Have you checked Gmail to see if the calendar is there on a PC? Was the calandar backed up with any other application? Did this start after an app was downloaded?

Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey can anyone help me please..
A Verizon-model iPad can only work on CDMA with Verizon. You cannot use it with any other carrier. Apple, to my knowledge, has not released the iPad in Yemen, so there is no iPad you can use with any carrier there that works only on CDMA. You would need to find a GSM carrier and then get an unlocked GSM iPad.

Executive Escalation - Verizon and Midland Credit Managment
Verizon and Midland Credit Management (Encore Capital Group),
I'm writing this blog as I need to find resolution to an issue that is affecting my wife and she is very frustrated and upset. Please understand we are in the process of refinancing our house and this negative credit score is affecting our ability to refinance our house and I cannot continue to have this undo stress placed upon her.
We've followed the path of contacting both parties (Verizon and MCM) on several occasions with no resolution in what seems to be a very simple account to correct, I run some of the largest BPO call centers in the world so I understand in great detail how customer escalations are handled and when both companies are not talking with one another to resolve issues such as this the outcome is unfortunately what my wife and I are dealing with.
Summarizing, my wife previously worked for Qwest in their corporate office (now Centurylink) in Denver. She had a cell phone through them (303) 517-XXXX, that phone number and account was closed out. We found out when refinancing our home loan recently that their was a outstanding balance from Verizon that was affecting our her credit score. She has perfect credit above 800 and we were confused as to what this was. We found out that an account had been opened up under her name with two phone numbers with the address of the account at the Qwest corporate office (not our home address).
VZW usuage and bill was coming from two other numbers that we are not familiar with account 4713XXXXX - (303) 507-XXXX and (303) 437-XXXX. They referred to them as a Level 1 and a Level 2 (sub accounts) - neither company could tell me which was the level 1 and which was the level 2. Again, they couldn't give us numbers because the numbers had been erased. Below are the details:
VZW sent me to collection for a $395. The collection company (MCM) has limited information - only the last bill. And VZW has information, but can't see the numbers, only that the accounts were being used and paid for (PLEASE TAKE NOTE AS WELL MY WIFE AND I HAD MOVED TO AFRICA WHEN THESE NUMBERS AND CHARGES WERE HAPPENING). The numbers that are associated with the collection are: 303.437.XXXX and303.507.XXXX and had a billing address of 1801 California St. and being paid for pretty regularly. (NOTE THIS IS THE KEY PIECE, THE ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH THESE NUMBERS WAS BEING PAID. IF YOU DETERMINE WHO WAS MAKING THE PAYMENTS THAT IS WHO THE ACCOUNT BELONGS TO-VERY SIMPLE RESOLUTION).
These numbers were set up August 25, 2008 - account 47132XXXX (303) 507-XXXX and (303) 437-XXXX. Below is the information that was relayed to us with payments made on the account. AGAIN - IF YOU DETERMINE WHO WAS MAKING THE PAYMENTS THAT IS WHO THE ACCOUNT BELONGS TO. We told that several times to many departments within Verizon and MCM.
September 2008 - no payment
October 2008 - payment made $228
November 2008 - payment made $353.23
December 2008 - no payment
January 2009 - payment $267.34
Feb 2009 - Nov. 2009 - consistent payments made $120.14
Dec 2009 - no payment
Jan. 2010 - April 2010 - no payment
April 2010 - VZW stops service
Simply what we believed happened is either someone at Qwest (now centurylink) accidentally set this up under her name or someone fraudulently set this up under her name. To me it doesn't make sense given the high dollar amounts they were paying consistently on the account that it was fraudulently set up.
Your companies are unfortunately putting me in a very undesirable position given the exposure I've had to how customers can use various media and social channels to bring to light issues such as this - especially given the things this is not allowing us to do with our house refinance and the stress it is putting on my wife. I'm demanding that this account be extensively researched and then deleted from all credit reporting agencies. My request is very simple, please assign someone from each company to look - and work together - into this extensively and resolve this issue.
If I do not hear from you and significant progress is made by Friday September 28th I will proceed with ensuring that is resolved through the appropriate channels as we feel we are being held hostage by this issue.Good evening,
I am truly sorry for the difficulties this has caused you and your family as well as my sincerest apologies for my delayed response due to our volume. As Jim mentioned this forum is mainly driven by Customer to Customer assistance, but I definitely want to help ensure I get you in the right direction.
As this account has been sent to a collections agency I would strongly recommend contacting our Recovery Department at 800-852-1922. They're available Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm.
Thank you,

Day 11 of 14, New too Verizon and the new Thunderbolt, do we keep it or send it back?
I have had a number of surprises so far after coming to Verizon with the new Thunderbolt.. We ordered 2 bolts. The battery issue was disappointing, but a bigger battery will fix it, and/or a daily charge seems to take care of it.
I live in the country on fridge of the city, my wife came from provider Sprint, and I came from AT&T. We never had problems with our prior carriers, but must be out of range for the Verizon tower due to the bad signal and sound quality when making calls from the house. Verizon suggested a network extender, so we had them send us one. It did fix the signal and the noise problems at home. Plus can take with us on the road,, guess this problem is fixed too.
My wife's Bolt had static and noise in any area, 3G or 4G. Mine has been great. I called Verizon they said to take it to a Verizon store for an exchange. I bought the phone online with Verizon, but the brick and mortar stores said they could not do it, I complained and did get them to change out the wife's Bolt. The replacement serial and mac address was several thousand letters and numbers higher, so expect her phone was built early, but the new replacement is quiet, no noise problem solved.
The 4G is very fast, speetest.net I was surprised how fast it is. I love the phone, but I worry with all the issues people keep finding, and I really have not seen any official Verizon communications on what is actual and what might be in progress to fix for good. Forums are great, but does Verizon read these posts?
I am on day 11 of 14. First timer to Verizon, Thunderbolts aside, do you like them as a wireless carrier? Thunderbolt's, we like them very much, but I now wonder if maybe insurance is a good idea, seems like we may have many issues in the future too. I was on the build team for the HP Glisten, we had many issues on our first phones too, but eventually got it fixed too, in fact the prototype I still had when I left AT&T to come to Verizon. I think we are going to give the phones a couple more days of heavy workout, and then decide.So far so good, a few hiccups but Verizon has supported me so far on each issue. Some responders from the support line where not as good as others, but I did find several who were more than helpful. The forums here are helpful too, aggravation does make some of the posts bias against the phone, but there are some good posts out there and the solution found posts will help us all.
Everyone who owns a Thunderbolt just needs a little patience, it is a new and powerful device. I'm sure HTC and Verizon are working out the confirmed bugs, and will roll out confirmed updates when they have gathered more data. When I was prototyping the obsidian, which we marketed as the glisten, we had many issues too, but in the end worked most of them out.
The thunderbolt should also follow same result as long as Verizon and HTC keep it in the front line, so far they are still marketing it, even with having the Iphone now in their portfolio. I viewed a wirefly.com smackdown between the Thunderbolt and the new Iphone, and to me, I do like the Thunderbolt best. On to day 12, so far so good. -
