Need my phone enabled!

Our family came home from vacation yesterday. They disconnected our service since we couldn't pay our bill on time. (We pay our bill online but we didn't have Internet access.) I paid the overdue balance and the phone is still disconnected. Verizon's lovely reps are not even present to talk to during the long weekend. We have no way to access any customer service reps. They don't seem to care that a landline phone is necessary for emergencies. All they want is money. My 80 year old mother lives with us so we need the phone. I have been a faithful customer for years... If this keeps up, I'll change to Comcast phone and Internet. I shouldn't be penalized because I missed my bill once out of all the time I've had this service.

These boards are peer-to-peer user forums.   Your issue will require Verizon customer service to assist you.   You need to call them.
Next time, you might want to consider scheduling your payment in advance when you will be away.  Both Verizon and most all online payment services via banks/credit unions allow you to schedule a payment for future delivery.   Better still, put recurring monthly bills on auto-payment so you don't need to worry about it.

    HI....Need help to enable my3G iPhone which has been disabled due to forgotten passcode.Thank you

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode and restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send an email address

    ERROR: iPhone 5 "Cannot Send Message: MMS Messaging needs to be enabled to send to an email address."
    DESCRIPTION: When attempting to use my new iPhone 5 (unlocked on T-Mobile) to text to a new iPod email address (on a home WiFi to a Hotmail account), I get the above error message.  I am able to send and receive text messages (SMS) to mobile phone numbers.  I have iMessage enabled and am using iOS 6.0.2.  What is the fix?  Thanks.
    REQUEST:  Apple please produce an iPhone with a five inch screen in order to compete successfully with Samsung.

  • I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD.  Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS?  No firewall involved.

    I have two facetime users, both connecting to our enterprise wireless network (Cisco WCS) and they can't make a facetime connection from IPAD to IPAD.  Are there any apple protocols or other settings that need to be enabled on WCS?  There is no firewall inbetween the two connections, as this is all on our internal network. 
    Both devices can connect to the network, but when they try to talk to each other they can't make the connection.
    Thanks.

    If anyone ever comes across this and has the same issue, here's what I did to fix it:
    My Linksys router has a Network Mode setting, and I had to change it from "Mixed" to "Wireless-G only".  (I would've used N but one of the NICs in my house is too old to support it.)  Anyway, after making this change, Facetime works fine on the phone.  Hope this helps someone else!

  • IMessage needs to be enabled...

    From photo album I hit select and chose 3 pictures then I hit the box with the up arrow in the bottom left hand corner and hit Message. I type in the recipient and hit send but I get an error message that says: Cannot Send Message, iMessage needs to be enabled to send this message.
    The thing is iMessage is enabled and so is mms. Also this shouldn't be going threw as an iMessage as it's being sent to a regular phone. I've disabled and re-enabled iMessage but it still wont go threw.
    The reason I am trying to send pictures this way it because I can't select more than one at a time as for the other way it's one at a time.

    I have a similar problem as the OP, I wished to disable iMessage just to avoid the complications of having two messaging systems. Also, I never use data and always keep it off in order to save battery. Third, I noticed that when using iMessage, sometimes others' messages to me reach me late, i.e. they would send it at 3 pm and I would receive it at 6 pm when I turned on my wi-fi (remember, I have data off always). For these reasons I chose to completely disable imessage.
    However, for one of my contacts, I noticed that the "send" button was still blue, rather than green (as you know, green is for ordinary SMS while blue is for iMessage). When I try to send this person a text, I naturally get the "imessage needs to be enabled to send this message". I tried the solutions in this thread, but none of them worked.
    However, I managed to find a workaround. First, I turned on iMessage, then I turned on "send as SMS if imessage not available" in the settings. Then, I disconnected my wifi and data so that imessage would not be available, then I tried to send an iMessage to the person in question (the one with the button stuck on blue). This time I did NOT get the error message, but the iMessage tried to send anyways, getting stuck when the bar was around 85% complete. Then, I pressed on the speech bubble being sent, and manually chose "send as text message"). Voila! the button suddenly turned green, and now I can send regular texts to that person again!

    My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable.  When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

    I have had a 3GS for 2+ years.  After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems.  In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that!  I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience.  I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

    Connect your phone to a computer and restore your software using iTunes.

  • HT1476 My iPhone wont charge anymore, at first it would.. But now it won't even show that its charging.. Why is it doing that? And how can I fix it? I need my phone, and i can't replace it or anything like that... :/

    I really need my phone, it hardly ever gives me any trouble. This is pretty much the first time.. I hope any of you can help me. It would mean everything to me.

    Try a different cable.
    Try a different charger.
    Try a different USB port on your computer.
    Try restoring it using iTunes.

  • Just a heads up regarding iOS 7; use caution if you NEED your phone.

    Aside from the myriad things that can go wrong with a major OS upgrade like this, what has happened the last few times Apple released a major upgrade is that many people were left without a functional phone for a few hours as your phone needs to reauthorize itself with Apple after an upgrade, and those authorization servers get overloaded even if those serving the software upgrade itself do not.
    If I recall correctly, when iOS 6 was released, many peoples' phones did not authorize for an hour or two.
    I also recall that for many the upgrade process itself took multiple hours to complete, and then there were quite a few "teething" issues that needed to be worked out (one of the biggest was that Wi-Fi wouldn't work anymore, with people being asked to log into a website at Apple for which they had no login or password.)
    Likewise I recall the iTunes Match servers were swamped, so many were left with a blank music list for a day or two.
    Therefore, if you know you're going to need your phone within say three to four hours of when you plan to do the upgrade, you may want to wait until later this week when the traffic to Apple's servers slows down a bit.

  • I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone.  The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
    If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted.  This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

  • MY ITUNES GIFT CARD DOES NOT WORK. FOR 3 DAYS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY SONGS, AND IT DOES NOT WORK. I NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE.

    THIS IS LIKE THE FOURTH TIME I AM WRITING ABOUT THIS. FOR THREE DAYS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BUY SONGS PAYING WITH AN ITUNES GIFT CARD, I DID SIGN IN, PUT THE CODE OF THE CARD WHERE IT SAID "REDEEM", AND IN ITUNES, NEXT TO MY SIGN IN NAME, APEAR THE $15. OF MY CARD, BUT WHEN I CLICK THE SONG I WANT TO BUY, IT ASK ME AGAIN FOR MY PASSWORD, THEN FOR A SECURITY QUESTIONS WHICH I DON'T KNOW, IS EITHER THAT OF ASK MY TO UPDATE MY CREDIT CARD INFO, "BUT" I'M NOT PAYING WITH MY CREDIT CARD.
    PLEASE, HOW CAN I BUY THE SONGS USING MY ITUNES GIFT CARD PLAIN AND EASY??????
    I NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL SOMEONE IN APPLE/ITUNES WHO REALLY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS,.
    I AM WRITING FROM MASSACHUSETTS.
    THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!

    (Typing all in capitals is considered shouting, makes posts difficult to read and may mean that people are less likely to reply.)
    There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
    If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions then you can get them reset : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult.  If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore.

  • I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 All in One and to use the "Fax"feature I need a phone port on computer and of course, this computer does not have one.  Are there any aftermarket devices for USB to phone that would work in this case?

    I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 "All in One and cannot use the fax feature because there is no phone port is there a solution for this?BACellli

    You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.
