My Contract Has An Extra 5 Months On It

So apparently my part of our family contract somehow has an extra 5 months on it. Not sure how this happened except possibly when I had phone issues earlier this year. Long story short, I got a BlackBerry Bold 9930 that had issues, as did the next 5 refurbished replacements. I got told that I couldn't get a 4g phone even though they were cheaper than the Bold was (lol) but they didn't have any other 3g phones to give me (since all those models were so old). After some time on the phone with CS (a lot of time) and asking what my ETF would be, she said they could give me a new one if I paid the subsidized price (still less than I paid for my Bold originally mind you), and I guess they used that opportunity to tack extra months on to my contract without fully explaining to me what was going to happen. Of course that's for my line only, the other 2 lines on the plan have the original end date.
I guess my question is is there any recourse for this whole mess? Because at this point after finding out about this, I really just want to pay the ETF and go elsewhere if they're going to do stuff like this. But of course, with my contract somehow extended, that'd be an extra $50 as well which may have been the point since I asked about the ETF when on the phone with CS because I was getting so frustrated with the lack of help.
I've tried going into the Verizon store locally for help but they are questionable at best and I really don't want to get back on the phone and get quick-talked into another situation like this. I like the Verizon service, but I really have not at all been satisfied with their customer service at all thus far (my mother has also had several problems, one of which was resolved and handled very poorly) and would rather go back to my previous carrier where I could actually get my issues resolved.

Well I did figure that, but it wasn't explained to me that that was what was happening; she made it sound like they were doing some exception to work around the whole thing. Wouldn't even have agreed to that if they would have adequately explained it to me, but they didn't. The whole situation was a bit ridiculous in my opinion; they wouldn't give me a phone of comparable value, only a 3G phone. It was odd.
And the rest of my family isn't staying with Verizon for this and other reasons when our contract expires so me being on a separate carrier and contract for an extra 5 months isn't really a practical option.

  • Canceled service before end of contract and billing cycle. Being charged an extra month!

    Hi. I have been a loyal Verizon wireless customer for a long while, but have had such a bad experience in the past year (where I have paid bills as high as $700.00) that I decided to cancel my services and move to another network. My billing cycle runs from 14th of the month to 14th of next month, typically. I have autopay set up to pay my bills and it deducts money for the following month on or around 6th of that month.
    I ported out my verizon number to a service on 4th of this month and since my verizon account got immediately closed, I called up verizon to find out about the ETF and final bill. I was surprised to find that I had to not only pay ETF but also pay the bills for the next month (which I am not using as I canceled before the Feb 14th!). Is this common practice? I feel so cheated. I feel its a sneaky move to squeeze that extra amount of money from me!

    There were many options to choose from when my contracts ended every two years, and I stuck with VZW. The CSR whom I spoke with mentioned its a Verizon policy. She did not talk about billing error and mentioned to avoid paying this extra months bills I must have canceled my service before the bill was generated for the following month! I find that conniving.
    But thank you for your response. 
    I'm sure you stuck with Verizon because they were giving the best service for a reasonable price. That's not loyalty. That's just being a smart consumer. Being loyal would be sticking with Verizon when other carriers where offering equal or superior service for less money. And in that case that may be being loyal but it's also kind of stupid.
    As far as your bill my new bill is generated about 4-5 days after the end of my billing period. So if your billing period ended on the 14th the new bill would be generated on the 18th. Verizon bills in advance so your bill that got generated on the 18th of January would be from January 15th to February 14th. Which would be due around Feb 6th. So you were billed correctly.

  • Contract has been up, and thinking of prepaid.

    My contact has been completed for 2 years and I am on month to month. My phone is the Casio Brigade. It has lasted longer than any phone i have ever had until recently the text quit working. Tried to connect my back up phone (Moto Razor flip phone) and VZ said I had to get a $10 data plan (**) on a phone that is older than my Brigade. I am thinking of switching to prepaid because I would come out cheaper even with my 20% monthly discount, which is not on my plan below. I am looking at the $60 2 gig and $70 4 gig prepaid plan. They are suppose to be 3G only, but I am not concern with that.
    These are my concerns and questions.
    1. Will there be a cancellation fee since my contract has been up for 2 years and do I have to give so many days notice.
    2. Can I take my Phone # with me to prepaid.
    3. I will probably use a Droid bionic or Casio commando on the prepaid. (phones given by friends)
    4. I don't download movies or music. I might listen to Pandora or watch a YouTube video.
    5. I live in a rural area, so VZW and ATT are the only ones that work.
    6. Why the hell, is VZ wanting to charge me $10 data on my older back up phone. By the way I have used this same Moto Razor flip phone before with no extra charge when my original phone broke. So why $10 now?
    7. Asurion wont cover nothing. Always been told wast of money if your phone is to old.
    8. This is my plan. The total is $77.83 or $65 w/ discount. Which has no data, With a 2 gig plan would be almost $100. The prepaid would $60
    Thank You. Have a nice day.

    I have posted in Mac pro Eplehust and Oslo in early June to change videokart (which has changed six months ago) got my Mac a month by mail, with the terrible damage the body, but the packaging in which he lay was not damaged. I sent him back to change the computer, 4 weeks, I changed it and checked 2 more weeks. as a result of three days ago, got back, more than half the programs crash, I can not open or closed CDrom, some programs do not come off or stop, and stop responding commands, turn it off only mechanically, not any excuses, I did not get to the store, what should I do?
    My patience is crowded, nerves on edge, I have lost my time with the worst service of my life, the only thing I see its the draw Eplehuset and apple to court.

    While writing I made a mistake... It is true I could become aware of the Scorpio incompatibility.
    I also tried the same identical procedure with a Seagate one. This disk and the same procedure was performed by some people I know on many MacBookPro Mid-2010 and everything was OK.
    We do not understand why this problenm occurs.
    Furthermore, If I installed the system on the broken HDD (that works, but sometimes it fails so badly and makes the system experience kernel panic) I could boot from it.
    I guess it is because of the **** Apple FIrmware written on the label.
    Is it possible that I cannot manage to boot from my new HDD because it has not a "special" feature on it that makes it compatible with apple??? Why making things so **** difficult my god a closer world like Apple one is impossible to imagine.
    However Shootist007 thanks for your message, but given what I said I do not think is a cable problem.

    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

      I installed this same digitizer in my T|X some weeks ago.  Some discussion of my experience may be found in this Usenet posting and subsequent thread.
      The stock digitizer in my T|X had always had some significant alignment issues (for which PowerDigi was able to compensate very nicely) and sensitivity which was uneven, but which usually required a heavier touch than I liked.
      Eventually, it began to develop a “dead spot” near the upper left.  My T|X was under warranty, so I probably ought to have sent it in to Palm to be repaired, but I wasn't willing to be without it for the required amount of time, and I've heard enough reports of other T|X owners getting unsatisfactory results this way.  I'd heard enough good reports about the PDAPARTS.COm digitizer, that I decided that the only acceptable way to repair my T|X would be to install one of those.
      After however many weeks it has been, I am still very pleased with the results.  It continues to work flawlessly; it is much more sensitive, so it doesn't require nearly so heavy a touch, and I very much like the hard feel that it has, compared to the spongier feel of the stock digitizer.
      My wife's T|X still has its stock digitizer, and it has so far not shown any of the same problems that mine did, or for which the T|X has become notorious, but the feel is noticeably inferior.  She's content with it the way it is, but I think that if I were to ever buy another T|X for myself, I wouldn't wait for the stock digitizer to fail.  The PDAPARTS.COM digitizer is simply superior in every imaginable way; and, in my opinion, a T|X with the PDAPARTS.COM digitizer installed is sufficiently superior to one with the stock digitizer (even if it isn't defective) to be very much worth the expense and trouble of installing it.

    What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
    From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
    Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
    Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
    PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
    An active Internet connection
    You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
    On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
    On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.

    Use Time Machine or some other backup system, taking the easy way out is how data gets lost in the first place.
