My phone keeps yelling "Verizon Wireless"

Community,
My phone keeps yelling "Verizon Wireless"  I have the media volume turned all the way down and it turns itself up and does this two or three times in a row.  I cannot figure it out and it is embarrassing at work.  Can you help?

I had to comment...
As many times as I've seen this topic addressed, I've never seen it described as "yelling".

  • Motorola Krave ZN4 keeps saying Verizon Wireless randomly throughout the day

    I have a Motorla Krave ZN4 that keep saying Verizon Wireless randomly throughout the day since my daughter played with my phone. I can't figure out what she hit to cause this so I can make it stop.

    nice one,, here I was looking at maybe the wall paper / background on display was removed  and the standard Verizon Logo came back up as the default.. ... thank you . Snn5 will step back and let  you handle.

  • Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

    Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
    Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
    I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
    I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
    The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out. 

        Hello KeyGroupGJ!

  • Business received Past Due notice phone call, we dont have Verizon Wireless

    Hi,
    I am an IT administrator for a small company.
    Our office received an automated phone call from Verizon Wireless about a past due balance of a couple hundred dollars.
    I found it odd since no one in the company (we're a small business of 7 people) has verizon wireless and if they did I would have been the one to set up accounts. We have had the same address and phone number for a couple years now so it couldnt have been a mistake. I waited to speak with a representative.,
    I gave them my name, company I represented, and explained the situation from them. I told them I received a call about a past due notice. They asked for our contact number, I gave them company's phone number. They found the account through that number and the company name was listed on the account however at this point was where the conversation died. The representative immediately would not answer any further questions because I was apparently not the account holder. They told me if I wanted to do anything I would have to get the account holder on the phone.
    Now I understand why they couldn't help me due to privacy concerns.
    However I am wondering what a small business can do because I am worried about someone fraudulently opening an account under the company's name and running a past due notice.

    Have them mail the past due notice to your business address.
    However if one of your employees/Officers have a personal account opened under your business with your FID number you may have to send a letter of dispute for those charges.
    Have them send a complete written bill to your attention. That hopefully will clear it up.
    Good Luck

  • HT201436 how to send a direct voicemail to an IPHONE from a Galaxy S III on Verizon wireless?

    I can not send a direct voicemail using Promt 2 to send a message from my Galaxy SIII to an Iphone 5 or 4. Is there something I can do with my phone or should the iphone recepient do something with their phone so that direct voicemail can be achieved?
    Both phones are on Verizon wireless. I tried to research this online. There is no information available at all! I called Verzon Wireless support, they did not know why. CAN ANY ONE HELP ME figure this out?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Alex

    Try calling into your voice ail instead of using the Visual Voicemail. You can call in by dialing *86. Then you'll need to listen to the prompts. It used to be possible to send messages to other VZW users that way but I haven't done it in forever.

  • Verizon Wireless Outages in the DFW area following Electrical Storm

    Verizon Wireless, the so-called "Big Red" cellular provider, seems to be picking up its own red phone lately.
    Verizon Wireless customers around the DFW area are reporting widespread outages of the company's newer, faster 4G wireless service, as well as spotty performance of the older 3G service.
    Complaints about both the 3G and 4G networks flooded in Thursday from all over the DFW Metroplex according to the store employee at the local Verizon store.
    “I sat up at the Verizon store this morning before the store opened @ 9:35am with no on in the parking lot and by 10:00am the entire parking lot was full with angry Verizon Wireless customers.” All were saying they haven’t had service since they woke up this morning. It was a scene of when a store has a big sale or major event…
    “I noticed the outages started around 9:00-9:30pm last night, 5/30/2012.” – kd5yov
    Instead of staying around to see what’s going on, I left and figured out that I would come back on in a day or so... Can’t fix it if its broken and right now Verizon is stuck with its tail between their legs!

    You are not the only one Neo. I consistantly get slow 4g LTE speeds in the DFW metroplex. Over the last month I've run several speed tests and come back with less than 2Mbps download. During the 12 o'clock lunch hour I have to switch to 3G just to get any data at all. I thought it might be my phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) so I did a factory reset a while back which didn't help anything. Then I spoke with support on the phone who suggested I get a new SIM card at the local store. I did that, and it helped some. My speeds went up by changing the SIM card from less than 1Mbps to the less than 2Mbps I'm now recording. What I found interesting was that the rep at the store said that it would probably only get faster during non-peak hours. The reason speeds are so low on 4G LTE is because there are too many people using it for the infrastructure that is currently in place. That statement along with my continued dissatisfaction with the speeds I'm getting are making the competition look good. For any good it will do, I am mostly in zip codes 75248 and 75001.

  • Verizon Wireless keeps dropping the ball.

    Back in March 2012 I was tired of the billing issues T-Mobile had with Suncom UnPlan users and decided to start shopping for another account.
    My employer had a discount at all of the major Wireless Providers.
    I called Sprint then AT&T saving Verizon for last.  Both Sprint and AT&T had decent rates but when I called Verizon the sales agent made a compelling quote.
    He offered me the 2000 Minute Family plan with Unlimited Talk and Text for $120 for 5 lines.  He then offered me a smartphone for free with 4GB data for $30 more per month plus I would get a 20% discount.  This rate was within my budget and about the same as the rate I had with T-Mobile.  He gave me an estimate of the monthly cost and it was around the $150 rate.  I agreed to the deal and we conferenced with the 3rd party for the contract.
    I received my phones fairly quickly.  I also quickly noticed the Verizon Coverage was not as good as T-Mobile especially in my house.  Verizon shipped a free network extender to cover that gap.  After about 1.5 months of service I received my first bill and it was huge. They had charged me activation charges for the lines that was not discussed by the salesman plus they had added $50 of monthly line charges and partial pro rated line charges that I was not quoted.
    I called Verizon ready to disconnect. I ended up talking to Executive Support who corrected the billing but to my concern they did it by adding a "promotion" that would expire and I would have to call to have re-added once it expired. At least the bill was correct and I paid the same rate for a year as a loyal paying customer. Once the year had passed the "promotion" dropped and I had to go through a huge hassle to have it re-added again but they did, I was also encouraged to drop to the 1400 minute plan since I wasn't using very many minutes.
    In October 2013, I contacted Verizon exec support to see if I could take advantage of some phones Best Buy was selling and to make sure my rate would not increase.  The agent helped me do early upgrades and said everything should be fine. But, after the year was up they added the $50 monthly charges again.  I called back to have the bill corrected and they said they would contact a department to see if they can put the "promotion" back on my account.  I did not receive a call back. 1.5 months passed and I was getting the dirty Verizon calls where they didn't leave a message and answered one of them.  It was billing wanting me to make a payment.  I had been paying monthly, and the same rate monthly but they were wanting more but they had not contacted me back.  I was hung up on 2 times in the IVR system then finally spoke to an agent.  She promised to have a supervisor on the line and after about 45 minutes of trying she promised they would call me back which they did not.  I then contacted VerizonWireless on Twitter having a very public expression of my ordeal and also getting quotes from Sprint and AT&T responding to those very Tweets. AT&T wants my service for $155/mo for 5 lines, 2 smartphones, 10GB shared Data, unlimited talk and text which is very comparable to what I have been paying Verizon without the $50 line charges.   I finally was able to get an Executive support person on the phone and she was rude, un-understanding, and ended up rudely hanging up on me.  I called back to support and wanted to complain against her and her refusal to escalate along with the hangup.  I was promised again a callback.  At one point I had told the Executive support exactly what I want out of this situation.... either:
    1) Correct the billing, Remove the $50 monthly charges as my verbal agreement in the initial sales call was defined.
    or
    2) Remove all charges, no disconnect charges, we can wash our hands of each other and I will begin anew with AT&T.
    Before hanging up on me she offered a $200 one time credit but no permanent billing fix. She welcomed the disconnection of my service and offered no termination charges for one of my 2 lines still in contract.  I informed her I did not consider being within any contract once they breeched it by adding charges that were not agreed to in the original sales call/contract.
    After contacting Customer Service again the agent I spoke with was appalled by the way I was treated and assured me they would escalate to the level beyond the agent who hung up on me and promised a callback.  She also noted that the account shows they had offered a $200 credit every 4 months which exactly offsets those monthly charges and I told her that was EXACTLY the kind of thing that could resolve this for us and I was good with that.  She said she would apply the credit and it should show up within 3 business days.  I continued to check and almost 2 weeks passed. No credit has been added. 
    I called back again tonight 6/27 and asked the agent when the credit would be applied... She told me the credit was pending a supervisor approval and couldn't guarantee me that it will ever be applied.  I explained how many hours I worked on this and the time I have invested along with the mental anguish.  She wanted to consult with someone after she had me tell her the whole story again and was away from the phone for some times.  Once she came back she pushed the point everyone at Verizon wants to make telling me the promotion expired.  I had to keep explaining the promotion was only placed on my account to correct the billing issue caused by the rate the sales agent had sold the service to me.  I told her I didn't care what they wanted to call the price correction as long as my bill was back down to the affordable rate. She wasted 1 hour of my time tonight. Again I have the promise of a callback.  I thought 2 weeks again this issue was totally resolved but it appears it is happening again.
    Now I must mention the other issues I have had with Verizon.  And the other hours of calls related to the LG phones sent to me originally and how I had to send d back 8 piece of junk phones with issues such as charging issues, non responding keys, screen not responding, microphone failure, etc. And the torture it took to get Verizon to send replacement Samsung phones for these units. Verizon wrongly made me purchase all of the back plates and batteries instead of providing those. 
    Another issue was he hassle I had with BestBuy where they couldn't sell me the phones due to Verizon having my Droid Charge showing up as an Unknown Device in the system. This disrupted the BestBuy system and cost me hours of support on the phone/ at the store/ backing up lines. Etc. Best Buy was at the point where they were just going to give us the phones because of all of the trouble.  All of the trouble stemmed from how Verizon changed the phone to an Unknown device in punishment for having an unlocked device.
    Another issue was with coverage at my Son's college.  They had almost zero coverage and Verizon support put in a ticket to investigate.  They found it was due to coverage.  The agent that put in the ticket said they would provide him a range extender at no cost if they found it to be an issue with coverage.  When I called back to have the range extender shipped they balked. The person on the phone pretty much called me a liar and I had to go through executive support again to have the range extender sent to resolve his problems.
    All said, Verizon has an investment in me, they have provided 2 range extenders. The have corrected errors that resulted in activation fees. They corrected pricing errors by adding a counter acting "promotion".  They still are more expensive than AT&T even without those line charges.  Why can't I just have the original deal honored. Why does my time and investment selecting a service, listening to a sales pitch, accepting a deal, not count for anything?  Why must I spend hours on the phone to get things corrected?  Why was I sold a non-standard plan?  Why do I have to shop again for service?  Why not just honor the original deal?  Why is Verizon more expensive than AT&T?  Why does Sprint/AT&T/ and T-mobile have better coverage locally than Verizon?
    Please send this information to the CEO.

    I'm not sure you fully read/understood my wordy post. A sales agent made an offer (verbal contract) which I used to select Verizon's service. There was no "pro ration" talk. I know most people probably physically travel to a dealer and make their wireless purchase, this was not the case for me. I did not sign a contract. I listened to the telephone salesman's sales pitch, entering into the contract on his word. I did not use any other method to "validate" his offer as I trusted him as an agent of Verizon Wireless and took his word much like you would accept the word of a car dealer if he told you the price of a car also included free oil changes and a free tank of gas monthly.  If you went to the dealer and they started charging for oil changes and gas after the sale was made based on the salesman's offer, it would be a breech of the verbal contract and it is very likely that a lawsuit would award the plaintiff a victory (If there was any way to prove the wording of the verbal contract). Lucky for me, Verizon  Wireless records their sales calls and a third party is engaged to verbally witness the contract "signing".  Though my wordy story is confusing due to the convolution Verizon has spun into this web, the issue here is entirely based on the initial offer I accepted from the sales agent. I would not have selected Verizon's service if the offer had been $50 more per month like they are now trying to charge me.
    I understood your post just fine.  What I am pointing out is the fact that the customer agreement specifically states no other "contract," verbal or written, overrides the customer agreement. 
    "This agreement and the documents it incorporates form the entire agreement between us.  You can't rely on any other documents, or on what's said by any Sales or Customer Service Representatives, and you have no other rights regarding Service or this agreement. This agreement isn't for the benefit of any third party except our parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, and predecessors and successors in interest.  Except where we've agreed otherwise elsewhere in this agreement, this agreement and any disputes covered by it are governed by federal law and the laws of the state encompassing the area code of your wireless phone number when you accepted this agreement, without regard to the conflicts of laws and rules of that state."
    So, no, there was no other binding contract you or Verizon entered into.  Their customer agreement is quite clear about that.  No analogy or comparison to any other type of service or contract applies here.  You consented to the customer agreement which includes the above statement.   I am not saying I agree with it or like it, but that is the contract you agreed to. 
    The recorded call and third party witness won't help you.  It doesn't matter what the agent said, or what anyone witnessed other than the Verizon Wireless Customer Agreement.  Having said that, the contract for service doesn't include pricing, only that you will maintain service for the duration of the agreement.  The plan, pricing, and features are not part of it.  Neither is a guarantee of an employee discount.  If you have a discount that applies when you sign up for service and then change employers during that time, you will lose the original discount as it is not part of the contract.  Additionally, the customer agreement states that no class action lawsuits are allowed.

  • Verizon wireless international phone is a ripoff!

    Don't EVER order an international phone from Verizon wireless!  The setup is claimed to be easy but took 2 tech support phonecalls of over an hour requiring a reboot of the phone.  The roaming costs were TERRIBLY misrepresented, so don't even consider doing this.  I received a $178 roaming charge and my phone never worked in France! 

    The general rule is to avoid getting international stuff from Verizon unless either someone else is paying or you really need to keep your US number (and there are other ways of doing that, but not always cheap either).
    If you just need to make/receive calls, you can buy unlocked basic GSM phones fairly cheaply in the US or when you arrive and get a cheap GSM SIM.  If you have a recent 4G phone, they are or will soon be global capable, and you just need to get a local SIM at your destination.  And of course there are some 3G phones that are global (Droid 2 Global, Droid 3, Droid Pro and iphone 4s among others). 
    Using local SIMs really saves: UK example: Calls to US 10c per minute, Verizon rate 99c with monthly charge, $1.29 per min without.  Data: 25MB for 15 cents, Verizon rate, 100MB for $25 (compared to 60c).

  • Using foreign CDMA phones on Verizon Wireless

    Hi, I went to South Korea for an internship and was given a LG U+ Samsung Galaxy S2 from a relative. It is CDMA, and after looking at the specifications it seems like it should work on Verizon Wireless network. However I was told that non VZW branded phones will not work unless the ESN number is manually added so I'm looking for some clarification. I'm not sure if I posted this in the right section, but hopefully I can get my question answered. It would also be helpful if a VZW rep could chime in!

        Hi lagmachine and congrats on the internship! In reagards to using your device in South Korea, we would need to check the ESN to make sure the phone is compatible with our network. Additionally, you would need to activate service. Since we're not the carrier in South Korea, you would pay international roaming charges.

  • Re Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect garbled voice problems

    I hooked up a Verizon Wireless Home Phone Connect device and plugged my Panasonic KX-TG5665 5.8 GHz Digital Gigarance phone base into the home phone connect device in the center of my home.  We have several Panasonic extension phones in different rooms in the house.  This changed the quality of my phone service to terrible , to the point where we don't even want to answer the phone.  Incoming callers are complaining that we are "garbled" and difficult to hear and understand.  It also sounds like the callers are garbled as well.  We can no longer use the "speaker" on the phones because the voices are so garbled. I plugged in a wired phone to the Verizon device (which meant answering the phone at the Verizon device, which is not convenient) and the incoming callers say that our voices are "less garbled".   I need to know how to fix this problem.  I hesitate to go out and buy new phones until I know if this is a Verizon device problem.  What phone systems work well with this device?  We have a large 2-story home and live in an area with a lot of oak trees, and need to have reliable phone service (not just in one room with a corded phone).

    I had to check and see if this was a recording of one of many calls I made to Verizon about my problems. I have had it almost 2 yrs now and HATE IT!! No one can fix it talking on it is as tyvm518 and pete92833 have said, it is so "garbled" The worse thing is that when places put  you on hold and play music ! OMG I feel like I will bawl it is so  horrible! No one understands that at all! I have changed phones, bought phones and even borrowed phones from family to check it out. Little or no change at all. The last tech that I spoke with even went so far as to say that "I should never been connected with this set up because when she checked it out I had little to no signals in my area. But nothing was done about it. I was told a couple of times that they would send someone out to check it for me. I have MS, am disabled and elderly. My husband is ill and 74. I rely on my phone and my PC a lot. I wanted to get out of my contract after she told me that it was basically they who were in the wrong to set me up. After all I only had a few mo to go. But she said that I would have to pay a "FINE TO CANCEL EARLY"!! I did tell her that I hate it and and will not be resigning another contract! Maybe that is why they do not call back? I NEVER lose my temper, use bad language or nor disrespectful. I use my daughters AT&T cell phone most of the time now.

  • Female Voice saying "Verizon Wireless" keeps playing for no apparent reason.

    I got my droid on release day, and ever since it says "verizon wireless" in a female voice pretty often.  The phone would be sitting idle, and i did not get any notifications or anything.
    Is there any way to disable that sound or any thing that might be causing this?
    I would also love to disable it completely,  it can be annoying to hear it every time i recieve a phone call, before the ringtone, or i place a phone call, before it starts ringing.

    I have this also and I have tried to find this option and disable it but I havent had any luck so far, I am sure its something I activated in menu but I cant figure out what option, if anyone knows the solution to this and know how to turn it off, PLEASE SHARE.... because its driving me crazy (Crazy Tick)
