Paying For What? Insurance, Assurance? Why?

I was thinking, why would I pay for insurance on my phone? I would still have to pay $125 deductible. And the Assurance that is offered is $99, but costs $50 everytime screen gets busted. Factory warranty would pretty much cover everything else. I can find a LCD and digitizer with all the tools and everything I need to fix it myself for Less than $100 all day. Just don't understand. And if you are technologically incapable, you can fin some online to do it cheap too.

Those conditions sound like a terrible deal to me. You are right, in general a DIY screen replacement will be around or below $100 anyway. Only thing is that once the screen is busted your warranty will be gone as well. So it would maybe make sense once you crack the screen and you have done the replacement yourself.

For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs. That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

Login to iTunes, check your purchase history, see if there's the transaction for whatsapp.

Why does the option to watch a movie even appear if it then will not play because not downloaded? Worse, then only 23hrs left to watch!! Paying for what is not delivered!!

ITUNES: Why does the option to "watch movie now" appear & when chosen movie will not play because still downloading. WHY SHOULD THE OPTION APPEAR IF MOVIE CAN"T BE PLAYED. Then when movie is viewable, only 23hrs to watch! PAYING FOR MOVIES WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW does not make happy consumer. Emailed Itunes over and over about problem and stilll paying for services unrendered.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

Prohibitive costs while developing - Pause feature or pay for what you use option?

Hi,
I am investigating using Storm on the Azure HDInsight.
I did the introductory tutorials and after a few days I saw that I had exhausted my MSDN Ultimate credit allowance since this thing needs 15 cores to function and you pay for it if it is doing work or no.
I am in development so I'm building a topology, use it for a few minutes, fix it, try something new, etc. I don't actually use the computing power for more than an hour a day, but I'm charged for 360 hours a day.
As far as I can tell there is no way to pause a storm cluster if I am not using it, or use it in some development mode that is capped for a very small usage scenario.
What is the best practice method for developing for this storm cluster? I can not justify to my boss spending 1000 dollars a month for the development of these components.
Thanks,
Amir

Amir0 - What technology are you using to author your topologies Java or SCP.Net
Apache Storm does support a local mode which you can utilize for developmental tasks.
http://storm.apache.org/documentation/Local-mode.html
In terms of best practices:
1. In the latest HDInsight service update a user can adjust the nodes sizes, make sure you choose the smallest sizes.
2. Deploy small 1 or 2 node clusters.
3. In your spouts, try to check point the state to Azure Blob Storage or Zookeeper so that when you re-create a cluster or re-run the topology you can resume from last state. It will also help in using the same storage account & container for
the multiple clusters.
4. Automating creation or deletion of HDInsight clusters is fairly easy using the public sdk or powershell.

This is totally ridicuious--paid but its still saying i need to pay for what i just paid for

I just subscribed and verified my pdf conversion order and I can not use what I just paid for. I don't understand how i'm unable to use what I just paid for,but yet a charge has been placed on my card. I just need to know how to unsubscribe my last order. This makes no sense I will have to report this a fraud to my credit company because this is a total breech of contract.

All I ask is that I get what I'm PAYING for, please........

First of all, let me start by saying I'll be very surprised if this actually gets posted. Took about 10 mins just to get to this point. Funny how of all sites, Verizon's load the slowest. You'd think they'd take extra measures to make this a better experience than getting asked over & over to log in after you already did, then it takes minutes (instead of seconds) just to load a page that needs another page that needs another page...
Here is my deal with Verizon. I've been a many-years customer of both home phone & DSL. Up until the last couple months I've had some issues, nothing that couldn't be resolved, but for the last couple months my internet is so slow it's like being back on dialup, ugh.. About 10 days ago I finally got fed up enough to give them a call.
Something I need to say first, about out-sourcing. I'm not a fan of it but I understand to an extent why it's being done. All I ask for though is that when I do talk to someone I can at least understand what they are saying to me. That's really important to me, I'm sure it's important to you as well. When I say "you people" I mean Verizon people, I'm not referring to anyone's race, color, etc., etc.,...
OK...so I call them up & 1st guy is "DJ" he said that was what to call him since after 3 tries I still couldn't pronounce his name correctly. I could understand him for the most part & I really do believe he tried his best to help me with my problem. I was on the phone with DJ for I dunno, an hour, maybe hour & 1/2.
Looking back on it, I don't think he was the best informed person, I don't think any of them were. We talked & I let him access not only my 2 yr old desktop but my precious not even 5 month old laptop. We tried this, this, that, that.....it was just a big run around IMO. DJ dumped my temp internet files, cookies, blah blah blah.......same on laptop. Finally, after all the time on the phone he did exactly what I knew would happen. He opened up my gateway page & said "see where it says you're getting this speed, etc? That's what you're getting." I don't care what that page says, I'm not getting what I'm paying for!
Due to the crappy service I've been getting I do speed tests daily & do them several times per day. I use speedtest.net & also internetfrog.com as well as a couple others if I need them. What amazes me is that after running me around on the phone for well over an hour, they wind up opening my gate page & then blame me, my 2 computers, my ability to see there's a real problem here. I was asked to subscribe to a "professional tech service" of some sorts at $14.99 a month & was then told that's all that could be done for me. I was then transferred to the so-called supervisor who was nothing short of RUDE, I was happy to finally end my call. The next day a woman called, I could barely understand a word she was saying so I told her I wasn't up to talking & hung up.
Call me **bleep** but I decided to "upgrade" my service. It said for 6 months I'd get a $10 rate reduction (which is cheaper than my current pkg) and I figured I'd at the very least, get better than what I was getting for only a few bucks more. WRONG!! They kicked in my new "better" pkg last night. I do get better speed test results but only at "non-peak" times & even then, they are sketchy.
I haven't done a ton of reading as of yet but so far my impression is they're over loading the hubs in my area, too bad for me. My speed tests are no better now than what they were before I "upgraded" my service. A good example is this...it took 25 mins to download a 20 mb file...tried on both computers & it was the same for each of them. If I had just one computer then sure, maybe I'd blame it on that. I have a 2 yr old desktop with XP that has never given me any problems, I do my scans & keep things running smooth. My laptop has W7 & isn't even 5 months old. You can't tell me that both are simply "screwed up" and need professional help when I know **bleep** well it's not on my part but is on Verizon's!
I am stuck with Verizon due to where I live, what options are actually available at this time. All I am asking for is that I am given what I'm paying for, what they say they're willing to provide. I do not appreciate all the running around, the bad accents with less than understand spoken words of what they consider to be "english"....I can't understand wtf they're saying to me! So frustrating, it really is. *sigh*
Sorry for the rambling but if you've read this far I think you're in the same boat I am. They used to be a company I truly did admire, now I'm just wondering how to dump them. I'm very sad about this, I can't count on Verizon any longer to be reliable & more important...that they care other than me paying my bill. ~Laurie

I could have written this EXACT same message - down tot he "upgrading my service" for less money than I was currently paying, I figured, it couldn't hurt, right?
wrong
The CS guy told me that my wirespeed modem was still "the best they had" (which is a joke as I don't even think they offer this anymore.
At least now, I am paying for 1.5mbps and I'm not getting it. They WILL refund this money every month until I get something. I'm simply not going to pay it anymore.

So when you use 7 GB of data on an 8 GB plan, you are charged for an overage?

For a communications company why is it so hard to get a phone number to talk to a real person?

Verizon is a communications company: why is it so hard to get a phone number to talk to a real person? Why when I call to set up a payment plan I get an auto response the sets up my payment date with no option to decline? Why hasn't the FCC shut this company down for breech of contract and lying to its customers?

Breach of contract? You are in breach of contract by not paying for services rendered.
Why should you be late paying an invoice and yet expect Verizon to keep your device on? You are breaching the contract.
#PMT from your device gives you an option for payment arrangements. The system more than likely can only extend the due dates by a certain number of days.
*611 or 1-800-922-0204 and ask to speak to financial services and ask them to extend the date.
Verizon would be out of business if everyone just paid them when they please.
Good Luck

Paying for BT Infinity but still getting ADSL conn...

Since I've upgraded to BT Infinity from Total Broadband, there has been no change in connection or download speeds (even when ethernet cable is plugged in) - now I know why. I am clearly not connected to BT Infinity. I'll tell you how I know. Today my internet went down. I clicked on BT Desktop Help who said I wasn't connected and sent me to the BT Home Hub Manager page:
http://bthomehub.home/index.cgi?active_page=9142&active_page_str=page_interception&req_mode=0&mimic_...
Just in case link doesn't work, the basic 'wordage' is below:
Can’t connect to Broadband
ADSL or Ethernet
To help us diagnose the problem please select the
type of Broadband connection you have.
              ----- ADSL connection
                    "ADSL Connection"
              ----- BT Infinity Connection
                    "I connect to Openreach
                    equipment and it plugs
                    into the BT Infinity port
                    on my BT Home Hub."
Naturally, I clicked on 'BT Infinity Connection'. I tried several times as it was 'trying to connect'. I waited up to half an hour each time to no avail. NB - I was told 'this will take a few minutes' each time.
Just out of curiousity, I clicked on 'ADSL connection' --- it connected to the internet straight away!
I conclude that I am NOT connected to "Openreach equipment that plugs into the BT Infinity port on my BT Home Hub". (BT Home Hub 3 that is!).
It looks like I haven't been upgraded at all.
I'm paying for BT Infinity, so why am I not getting it??

Sorry, just to clarify you have the white modem from Dave's picture?
But the Red cable is going to the ADSL port on the HomeHub 3 and not the Infinity port? If so try putting it into the Infinity port and see if you can connect (I'm guessing it will be no). If that doesn't work just switch it back then contact the moderators.
You can contact the moderators here, they will take personal ownership over your case until resolved.

Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.
