Verizon wireless before phone calls

Is there a way too turn off the feature that gives a voice alert saying "Verizon Wireless" before placing or receiving a phone call?

Try Settings > Sound and uncheck Roaming Tone

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)

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.

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.

My I phone says, cannot send or recieve calls! Help!!!!!!!

I have had zero problems with my phone since i've had from September. But yesterday I bought an Itrip car adapter for my ipod/iphone so I could listen to music in my car. After hooking my phone up to it, it said "Iphone is not compatible with this" after unplugging my phone it stopped working. My phone will not charge nor will it make calls anymore. After hooking it up to i-tunes it said "repair needed, cannot send or receive calls, apple.com/support". I've tried resetting it everything, but nothing works. Now it's completely dead. Does anyone know if I can take it to my local at&t store and thay cand send it back for me? I don't live near an apple store.

call Apple they will give you a free loaner and overnight you a overnight box to send in your phone for repairs. AppleCare is awesome

Thanks Wildman! That was annoying me. So easy too. Good job, that had myself and the guys at the store batty.
Again, thank you.

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).

I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he cannot use my phone without my apple id and password.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sent it.can he run up a bill using my id?cheers.

I have recently sold my iphone and the new owner says he needs my id and password to use it.i reset the phone to factory settings before i sold it but wanted to know if he could run up a bill even though i no longer have an account with my phone provider?

You did not follow the proper procedure when selling the phone before resetting it to factory settings. You must help the new owner deactivate the Activation Lock or else he will have the same issue over and over when he upgrades the software or sells it to someone else.
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Verizon Wireless is About to Cost Me a Home!!!!!!!!!

This is EXTREMELY frustrating and I'm about to lose the home I really want to buy.
I applied for a mortgage this month (January 2014) and that's when I realized there's collections activity on all 3 credit bureaus with Verizon that I already paid. These collections are affecting my loan approval and now my mortgage loan is on hold. I have a bid on a house that I'm about to lose because Verizon's recovery department can't get their act together and is giving me the runaround. I PAID THIS ACCOUNT LAST SUMMER.
Last summer, I had a balance outstanding with Verizon on a couple subaccounts. I called recovery and they said I had a balance of $643.19. I paid this full amount about a week after the phone call (all documented).
When I discovered the collections on my credit bureaus. I immediately checked my bank account dating back to last summer and it shows the payment POSTED clearly saying "Verizon Wireless Bill Pay" etc.... I called recovery the next day after being transferred 3 times and wait times totaling 43 minutes while I'm at work. I explain my long story to the rep and she asked me to fax in the bank statement that shows it cleared and she said they'll call me within 48 hours (this was last week. I faxed it immediately and also attached a blank check to show it's my account (accounts numbers match).
Of course I didn't get a call back so I called them on Friday to get an update because the realtor, the mortgage lender, the seller and myself are all waiting on this. There are no updates and the rep asked me to call back Monday. This is after I had to explain to whole entire story again. After explaining the story each time, the rep always tries to fix it even though I adamantly tell them they can't fit it and just to check the notes and give me an update.
Fast forward to Thursday and two more phone calls, two more times of explaining the story to new reps, two more supervisors, I STILL haven't had a resolution yet. Now they're asking for my full credit card number to search the payment. WHY SHOULD I GIVE MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER AGAIN WHEN THIS IS NOT MY MISTAKE AND IS VERIZON'S MISTAKE????? I made the payment, it says it clearly on my bank statement, my bank will back me up on this!! I'm about to lose the home I want to purchase because Verizon lost my payment! I want this escalated to someone that CAN help with a sense of urgency since nobody else seems to care that Verizon's mistake is about to cost me a home. The rep told me to email the "Contact Us" link on the website. Are you kidding???? THat's how I escalate to someone higher up? To email a general email address that thousands of other customers are emailing?? Unacceptable....
I have been given 3 days to get this cleared up or I lose the bid on the home. If that happens, this WILL become news. If they cannot locate my payment after over a week, I don't think they will and I will lose this house. Even if I lose it and apply for another home, these collections WILL still show on my credit bureau and I'm still screwed over by Verizon. Desperate cry for help online...is there ANYONE that can actually help or did I just waste a week and lose a home? If this remains on my credit report and I can't get a mortgage, then this WILL go viral online and make news. It's only fair I get it credited and it gets removed from my credit report. I've sent in a bank statement, a screenshot, a blank check showing matching account numbers and now they want my credit card number. This is completely unacceptable and people need to be aware of this...

First off the non payment to verizon was indeed correct. You admit this in your post.
Secondly, correct information even if paid in full will stay on your credit report for 7-10 years. Any subsequent posting to the trade line will again make it show longer. Read the link it is the law.
Your state of residence may have credit reporting laws similar to the Federal Law.
A mortgage lender can in most cases overlook certain debts that have been paid. It varies from lender to lender. I know a couple that had a electric company bill posted on his credit report, not a big invoice just $90 the electric company never sent the invoice after they moved or the post office did not forward it. In any case the bank only needed a letter from the creditor stating that the invoice has been paid in full.
They received their mortgage and the credit bureaus show it as paid.
However verizon wireless will not be able to assist you with such documents because of just where and who in this large company can produce the document you need? And they will not remove the information from your three credit bureaus. The information that you were late, or went to collections, or charged off is factual so it will remain.
When we bought our home we had the credit union give us an advanced copy to see where we stood. They even said they would use the report from the best one we liked. Needless to say we have no negative dings so getting mortgage and personal lines of credit are no problem. You have to watch your report very carefully and often.
I know that is no comfort to you now. The good part about this is *IF* because of Verizon's not reporting properly or it being in error that could have been fixed, you can get a lawyer and sue for three times the amount of the mortgage you lost due to their error. However if the information is correct be it paid or unpaid the black mark will stand.
Good Luck

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.

HP Mini 1151NR Verizon Wireless Card acting funny

I have a HP Mini 1151NR purchased from verizon.
I have had it for 4 months with no problems, except it recently started to have an issue with the wireless broadband card.
It enables and disables the card constantly, (the sound that plays when you stick a usb drive into the usb slot). I can even open hardware manager and watch it enable and disable.
On the Verizon Wireless software area, it shows the card powering off and on. Each time it does this, I receive a Text Message from myself that is blank, it also says the date and time of the message is 00/00/0000 00:00:00. I called verizon and they said the line has no text messages sent or received.
Anybody have any hints on where to go, HP tells me its verizons problem, verizon tells me its HP's problem. I get the run-around wherever I go.
I have reinstalled the VZ Access software twice and the driver twice, still does the same thing.

I have the same problem. I have had my HP Mini for over a year now and the VZ Access software worked for a few months then it started the same enable the disable problem. I have called Verizon with no help then HP with no help so I set up a stand alone network login and that works fine with the verizon network (777) number. Today the VZaccess still does not work and it is quite frustrating. I have the VZ access on my other laptop and it works fine. WE CAN SEND MEN TO THE MOON AND TRANSPLANT HEARTS BUT WE CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH VZ ACCESS. COME ON PEOPLE.

Turning off audio of female voice stating "Verizon Wireless?" (Droid X)

I am using a Droid X.
When I turn on my phone, a female voice says, "Loss of service" and then says, "Verizon Wireless." The "Loss of service" audio message also occurs if I turn on the phone's Airplane Mode. Also, when the phone rings, the female voice says, "Verizon Wireless."
My wife has the identical phone and never hears these audio messages. I looked for a way to turn off these audio messages in "Settings" but I couldn't find it.
How do I turn off these audio messages?
Thanks.
Richard

The setting you're looking for is called "Enhanced Roaming Indicator" but on the Droid X I think settings just calls it "roaming tone". uncheck that and the voice should go away.

Before I call Presonus..

Hello,
I am having trouble with a Presonus Firebox. Before I call them I wanted to drop a post here to get some feedback.
Equipment:
iBook G4 1gb ram
WD USB 2.0 external hard drive for audio tracks
Presonus Firebox
Shure 57 mic
M Audio Condenser Mic
NEW firewire cable for Firebox
Situation:
I just purchased and setup the Firebox. I swapped out the included firewire cable with a "better" one per the salesman's direction at Guitar Center. I configured my Audio Preferences settings to use the Firebox for Input and Output and set the levels to 100% I configured the Firebox Mixer and set the sliders to full as well as bypassed the Mixers Out to avoid feedback and noise through the monitor speakers. I first tried my Condenser mic to record some acoustic guitar. I found that I had to turn the Preamp gain wide open on the Firebox and nestle right up to the condenser to get even the weakest of signal in Garageband. (yes phantom power was on) I then enabled the Firebox Control for the +12db boost on all inputs. Still getting a signal but it is not what I expected. The signal is not even getting to -8db in Garageband. This is a condenser mic that works fine with an EMU 1820 on windoze. I am a bit frustrated so I remove the condenser and hook up the Shure 57. I placed it infront of my amp and go to town. Same results...Better signal but I would expect to get clips on the Firebox with everything set to full. No luck. So, am I missing something? The preamps seem to be weak. The gain is more like an on off switch and provide no value due to the fact that I have to crank them to get a decent signal. Furthermore, the mixer software that came with the Firebox seems to be of no value for I get no usable signal unless they are wide open. The condenser should NOT need cranked at the preamp. I should NOT have to crank every setting I can find to get a subpar input signal. I have to me missing a setting or configuration somewhere. This product is of no use if this is, in fact, how it is designed to work. Am I missing something?? Is the product defective?
Thanks!
Mojo

Sounds like you may be running into the same problem.
I took the Firebox back to Guitar Center and spoke to a salesman who owns a Firebox and was very happy with it. We spoke about my situation at length and he was pretty sure it was defective. We finally decided to hook it up to one of the iMacs they had on display. It produced the same results. The salesman grabbed the in-house audio recording and Mac expert to review the setup. After 30 minutes of toying with it on multiple Macs using a variety of apps including GB3, Logic, Logic Express, Cubase LE and Sonic they agreed it was a defective device. I was able to swap it out for an M Audio FireWire 410.
I must say that the M Audio FireWire 410 was perfect. Very well built. Many output options. Clean Preamps and very very low latency.
Presonus...they told me the device was working fine and suggested I contact Apple...not very impressed with Presonus.
Hope you find this helpful and good luck.
