Open note to Verizon

I think people who are grandfathered in with unlimited data are foolish to upgrade and take the shared plan.  I've read what many post about cost savings, etc...but if ATT (despite the throttling argument) can allow their grandfathered people to keep it without penalty then so can Verizon.  I won't upgrade.  And I will even begin to explore changing to another carrier who allows unlimited data.  Verizon can either keep up and satisfy the demands of their customers or lose them.

Data to higher tier networks costs verizon GB's to the penny. And network slowdowns are caused by volume of users on the network.
Also Sprints plan doesn't slow you down after 2GB. Which is why I'm moving there when my plan is up.
Sprint pre-throttles you and it says in the TOS.  They could give you faster speeds, but opt out not to.  They give you from what I have seen of Wimax 40% of what they could give you.  Also they do not have domestic roaming.  If you ever end up roaming you only get 300 minute, 300 text, and 300 mb of data(or 10% of your allotments of minute/text/data which ever is lower). 
Also data is dictated by land line providers.  Verizon pays the same tier type plan as we do to them.  Unlimited are unsustainable.  You should hop on Sprint or T-Mobile before they do away with theirs as they went on record saying they'll drop it.  It will happen soon than later since they are rolling out LTE within the near future.  Once they hit around 25-50% they'll drop it.

  • Anybody else not a Verizon customer getting nowhere w/Verizon identity theft unit

    I am not a Verizon Wireless customer.  I was, but I changed over in 2011 because the coverage with another carrier was better than where we previously lived for 17 years.  We are middle aged, fiscally very conservative and sound, and expected no problems whatsoever when my husband decided to retire in June and for us to move out of state, selling our real property and buying our dream home in the place we choose to retire.  We had a regular monthly credit report company but last summer they stopped offering the low cost arrangement our credit card offered years ago.  We lost a family member after a six month decline and had no reason to believe anything was wrong.  My husband ordered up his report and score and was way up as we expected.  I then ordered mine and I fell off my chair (literally).  My score had dropped by one hundred points because someone opened a Verizon Wireless account last October in my name, ran up the account to more than a thousand dollars, and bailed.  Supposedly, it was sent to collections but since the phone seems to have been ordered in New York and I haven't lived there since 1970 (as a kid), I knew it wasn't me.  I went through all of the required steps, wrote my dispute out, sent proof of my police report, complained to the Federal Trade Commission, and spoke to a representative named Justin who confirmed that it was clear it was not my account (he could not legally give me more at that time but that should no longer apply).  I get an e-mail that gives me a report number and tells me to sit tight, basically.
    Crickets chirping.
    A few days ago, I get an e-mail from the previously very helpful Justin that says something to the effect of "oh, that's just a collection account.  All is good! Bye!!"  Wait, what?  I can't get the e-mail to let me reply so I wait for the new reports to come out, expecting that my fully documented case of identity theft will be resolved.
    It is now a month and when I ordered my three reports and score for the new quarter, voila!  MY SCORE ACTUALLY WENT DOWN MORE!!!!!!
    I am on my 4th call today, and taking screenshots every five minutes I wait.  After more than two hours of being lied to "your representative will be with you in a few brief moments), I am ready to go off the grid or start collecting names and contacts of those who are not customers of Verizon Wireless whose identity has been stolen because I believe we are not restricted from filing a class action suit because we have no contractual relationship with Verizon Wireless.
    Okay...after more than 30 minutes on call 4, I was patched through to the Fraud Department to a representative named Greg.  He patiently listened to my rant about how horrible their internal phone system is, he remained completely cool and calm, I calmed down, confirmed that I know he is not the problem nor can he effectuate any major changes, he took my number in case we were disconnected (which, surprisingly, we were not) and an hour later the fraudulent account has been closed out, my credit reports will be corrected, and I will receive information with which to pursue the harm the thief committed.
    There has to be an easier way and I will remind these companies that ignoring or ******* off the victims didn't do the Roman C. Church any good either.  It is unfair that there are those who seem to believe anything they can get away with is okay and that companies who employ people etc get ripped off, but as the collateral damage victim, I can't spread out my losses.  I urge Verizon Wireless to make it a priority to service all identity theft victims, especially since some of the thefts come from Verizon Wireless employees.  Otherwise, they are creeping ever closer to a huge, huge lawsuit.
    Thank you Greg at Verizon Wireless Fraud Division.

    I am sorry this happened to you. We found out today that the Galaxy phone my wife purchased for me and put 300.00 cash downpayment on was stolen by an employee. Of course calling does not do a thing. All they do is say sorry and hang up. I will find a way to get that money and then leave this company. It just stinks that they take the word of an employee (who by the way was not there two weeks later) and we spoke to the manager who said he would take care of it but did not.  We are out 300.00 and screwed I guess. WE WILL BE LEAVING THIS COMPANY.
    I know they don't care but it made me feel good to type in caps. I really do not care who is my carrier anymore, they cannot be as bad as this one,

  • Office 2013 Home & Business Edition - None of the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) is opening, not even in safe mode..

    Office 2013 Home & Business Edition - None of the application (Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook) is opening, not even in safe mode.. I tried to run the application in compatibility mode by right clicking the excel.exe and choosing the compatibility
    mode, still no success. It is installed on Windows 7 Professional SP1. All the latest updates are already installed. I have also tried Microsoft fixit, but still no Success. Please help!! 

    I'm so sorry that I forgot the Office programs even not open in safe mode and provide useless information in my last reply.
    The problem persists when we perform a Windows clean boot, right?
    Were the Office programs suddenly not working? Or it just can’t be open after you install it? Did you get any error message?
    If you haven’t try a repair of your Office installation, we can try it to check the result:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
    In addition, try to use Event Viewer to see if we can get some useful error log about this problem. See:

  • Please do not trust Verizon customer service team based on my experience.

    Please do not trust Verizon customer service team based on my experience.
    I have a internet service with Verizon and I am paying $79.99 monthly for 15/5 mbps and one day I saw a flyer from Verizon stating that $79.99 you will get triple play with 25/25 mbps speed and with 2 year contact I will receive $400 Visa gift card and  I decided to sign up for the triple play with 50/50 for $99 and I called Verizon customer care and I have asked for this offer and she said yes you will be eligible for this offer and I will receive that $400 after 90 days. so I am willing to go for it and I said ok with 2 year contract and then she told me that our conversation will be recorded and she asked me to wait for the recorded conversation and we have completed the contract and I told her that I will pick the equipment form the Verizon office today (12/30/2014) and I went there and i took the TV box and came home and fixed it but it didn’t work and it is throwing the 8312 error message and I called Verizon customer service and one representative told me that I will get charged for $140 if you want technician but I told him that why should I pay because your Verizon service is not working but the guy keep on saying the something and I hangup the phone and I called other day 12/31/2014 and some representative told me that that is our (Verizon) problem and I will send the technician on 01/02/2015 as tomorrow is Jan 1st we may not have anyone and i said that should be fine.
    But I have received an email from Verizon on 12/30/2014 stating that my FIOS TV was activated.
    I tried the TV service for 3 days and we (my family) have decided that these are not useful channels for us and we have decided that we can disable the TV service and we would like to go back only Internet service (15/5 mbps) and I called the customer service and told the something but She told me that there is no way you can go back to 15/5 mbps as Verizon is no longer offering this service and I don’t have more choice left. I have requested her to cancel FIOS TV service and I told her that I just need only Internet service. She said that should be fine I can cancel the TV service and you will still get charged for Activation fee $59.99 and there is no way I can wave that fee.
    I asked her why should I get charged as I am canceling the service with in 4 days ? She said there is no way we can wave that. Then I asked her ok at least you can lower down my internet speed from 50/50 to 25/25 and then she said we can’t do that. Then I requested her supervisor and after 5 mins she get hold of her supervisor and here I asked her what are my best options to lower my bill as Verizon is no longer offering me 15/5 ? She said whatever she offered is the best and at that time I asked her I want to keep the FIOS service but I would like to lower down the speed from 50/50 to 25/25 and I will get that $400 gift card then she told me that there is no way you will get $400 gift card and I am sorry that even if you keep this bundle you should not receive that gift card whoever told you that is not the correct information and again she asked me that did you receive the email stating that you should receive $400 gift card. I said no and told her that I didn’t know about your automated email generation but I have trusted the Verizon customer representative and requested her to pull the recorded conversation but she didn’t agree with it and at the same time she told me that these records may to may not be stored in our records. 
    I asked one question that I have received the email from Verizon stating that my TV service was started on 12/30/2014 but actually it was started in 01/02/2015 and are going to trust your automated emails ? She had no answer to it and stated that we have finished our conversation and told to customer representative that please go ahead and cancel the TV service for him.
    This is very very bad customer support from Verizon.
    Please do not trust Verizon customer service team based on my experience.
    Funny thing is that they (Verizon customer service representative) are not believing their own team.
    Good suggestion : Please request them (Verizon customer service representative ) to send an email with the gift card information and please check your email before you are installing the TV equipment otherwise you will get no response from them.

    First thank you so much for your response!
    Second,   The supervisor is not really care about the customers as I am using Verizon internet connection for the years but she really don't care about it and at the end of our conversation she told to customer rep that please cancel his service and then she hangup the phone. I not even confirmed about the cancellation. For no good reason now I am ending up with paying extra $10 for only my internet service. Now they told me that I need to pay $89.99 monthly + activation fee $59.99 but they offered me high speed which is not required for me at this movement.
    Also I went to the Verizon office and I took the box and came home and installed for my self but still they are charging me $59.99 activation fee even though I cancelled my service with in 4 days of time.
    Also the supervisor asking me that do you have any email confirmation ? But by the time we receive an email we might have completed telephone conversation with the rep stating that we have agreed all the terms. How could we know that we need to check our email before the activation ? Verizon team didn't spicified to me about it.

  • Why will Verizon not allow the use of a phone number that is Not a Verizon Number?

    Not happy with Verizon! No alerts sent to iPad, no phone numbers other than Verizon numbers. Why?

    09-29-2011 02:17 AM
    Ok, I have been on the phone twice now with customer support, all I want is an alert sent to my IPad for data usages !
    I want an alert sent to my iPad, or my phone, they can not, or will not do it? My phone is through at&t, Verizon will not except any phone number that is not a Verizon! WHY? my iPad is through Verizon, I know they can send alerts to the iPad, because they did it, they sent me a new password through an alert? I went over on my data plan because I did not get the alert in time, it was sent through email, a day late! Also, i asked about being able to serf the Internet and talk on the phone on Verizon, I was told that only 4G devices are capable, Wow,! I have been able to to this with my AT&T iPhone 3Gs from day one. I am now rethinking if I want to switch to Verizon? Is AT&T really that much more advanced?

    Only on the ipad 2 has the reminders i was told. Can u get my verizon app in the apple market? I did that for the iphone4 verizon. U can always sign in my verizon on ur ipad. Even if u switch to get a phone with verizon the ipad is on a different #.

    How are you closing the window?

    Use Alt + F to open the File menu with the Close Tab entry visible (doesn't work with the mouse).

    I noticed yesterday my Iphone 4s does not say verizon at the top anymore. I tried calling *228 and did both options mutiple times and it hasnt changed. Also when i go to settings>general>about the network tab says unavailable. how can i fix this

    Can you make and receive calls and texts? If you can, I wouldn't worry about it. If you can't, you may need to call Verizon. However, try this first. The 4S has a Vodafone SIM card in it for foreign travel. Try taking the SIM out and doing the *228 again. Once it activates properly, you should be able to put the SIM back for safe keeping. It's not used in the U.S.
