Poor communication from a communications company!!

I have to say I have never ever signed up or posted anything on a forum before, but after the last week of trying to deal with BT I have been driven to airing my views!
We recently moved house and after a week or so eventually managed to get an order set up to transfer our old telephone number to our new property. This was all systems go for last Wednesday.
Wednesday came and nothing happened, so I called BT. I had the "pleasure" of speaking to 6 different people around the world during my 2 HOUR telephone call, to eventually find out that my order had "got stuck in the BT system" and therefore had to be cancelled! I was told the order would be reinstated but would take a futher week for the line to be activated, and then only with a temporary number, not our old numbers as first requested!
To my joy, I was told that I would then have to call BT AGAIN to set up another order to get our old number back!
I did this and on this Sunday received an email confirmation back from BT to say the change of number would be active in one working days time, i.e yesterday or today depending on how you interpret this!
Surprise surprise, this hasn't happened in the timescale they said it would! I call BT yet again and have been told it will be active by midnight tomorrow night, so another 2 day delay!
How can a communications business be run like this??? In my two hour call last week I asked to speak to the manager of the person I was speaking to in the call centre and, when they wouldnt put me through, I'm sorry to say I raised my voice, at which point I was laughed at!! Outrageous!!
I eventually speak to somebody who professed to be the manager, who said they would look into the situation, and woud call me back within an hour. 5 days later I'm still waiting for that call!!!
This is one very unhappy BT customer, who is very very close to being an ex-customer (but i'm sure nobody at BT would care about that!!!)

How can a communications company have such poor communications?

Hello Verizin,
I received an email titled, "Your Order Conformation" that lists the two iPhone 6 models I ordered. The status states that the order is waiting for credit card verification, etc. When I open my Verizon account it shows no order has been made.
Have my phones been ordered or not. The estimated delivery date for these two phones when I ordered them was 10/7. Is that still happening? I'm planning to trade in my two iPhones for your promised $200 certificates. Evidently your computer systems don't talk with each other because the trade in department doesn't see my order and said they can't mail the boxes for me to mail in my trade in phones because they have no proof that I ordered these iPhones. Obviously someone didn't see a need to communicate between ordering and trade ins nor did they feel that communication with your customers was important. This is pathetic for a "communications" company.
The other issue is how can I trade in my iPhones by September 30th if my iPhone 6 models aren't going to be shipped by then? It sounds to me that there is a discrepancy in all this. Obviously the program wasn't well thought out our you are doing another poor job on communicating with your customers.
My wife and I have been customers with Verizon for a long time. We used to carry around one of those big Motorola phones and were limited to ten minutes of talk time on our plan. It seems that Verizon no longer truly cares about our loyalty to your company. We're not asking for anything special. We just want Verizon to follow through with their promise to provide a "free" iPhone 6 to those have iPhones that meet the requirements. Our iPhones are in perfect condition. Once the cases and film over the screens are removed no one will be able to tell if they have ever been used. Perhaps it's time we started looking at the offerings of other carriers. Maybe we won't get new iPhone 6 models but at this point it's a matter of truthfulness in advertising. Quite frankly I'd love to stay with Verizon but if you can't come through with your promises after all our years with your company, why should we.
Thank you for listening to our side of this issue. We eagerly await your timely response to our questions above.

SamuelAdams, I'm sorry for any confusion this promotion has caused. I'd be happy to set you on the right path. My Verizon will not display the order under your order history until a tracking number has been assigned. You are still able to track your order's status with your confirmation number here: http://vz.to/1svqRov
We realize that due to shipment being pushed back, you may not receive the new iPhone in time to ship your old iPhone to us. Don't worry, we have factored this into our Trade-in offer. We are only asking that you submit your appraisal on or before September 30, 2014. We are asking that you ship your old iPhone to us before December 1, 2014, which will leave you with enough time to set up your new device and ensure your information has been backed up. You can view this information here under "iPhone Trade-In Promotion" under number 2: http://vz.to/1q0nyxQ
I would still like to confirm the status of your order since you mentioned it was pending credit card verification. I have sent you a direct message, please reply to my message if you still need assistance.

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

I have a 16GB 3GS phone. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it.

I have a 16GB 3GS phone since about20 months now. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it. I always used standard headphones and charging cable. Now when i recall, it started at one of the sync sessions with my itunes. I have turned my phone off and aon again and again but the message keeps coming every one or two minutes.I have also started loosing voicce on different applications like youtube etc. Also the ringer volume up and down key does not show me the small boxes increasing or decreasing on screen. The phone is playing crazy. Can someone help please
Thanks
Zia

It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
Please help

How in the world do you chat with this communications company???? I cannot find it anywhere. I'd rather not sit on phone when I can or could interact with a real person. Certainly not customer focused! Can someone show me the link?

I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi. When I try to connect time capsule to the modem via an ethernet cable I am unable to and I also lose my wifi connection

I have a modem from my cable company that provides WiFi as well as ethernet ports for internet TV and Sonos. But when I connect Time Capsule via an ethernet cable to the back of the modem I am unable to get it to work and I lose my wifi connection completely. I added Time Capsule to back up data and also to extend the reach of my wifi with an airport extreme hooked up by another computer.

Put the TC in bridge before you plug it in.. ie do the setup in isolation to the rest of the network..
I would also start a new wireless name on the TC so it is different to the cable router..
If you want to be exacting also set wireless channels so the cable router is set to say channel 1 and the TC set to 11 for 2.4ghz. Then plug it in.. you will have no trouble as the TC will get an ip address as part of the existing networking.. then extend the wireless using the extreme.

Try looking in your User folder.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

Address Book has no global find/replace. Bob Grove suggested one possible workaround; however, a grep-capable text editor (eg, TextWrangler) is better than TextEdit if complex strings are involved.
An alternative is Bento (which is designed specifically to interact with the AB database), but it's not free.
