Porting Business Account from Verizon

I have been trying to port my Verizon number to ATT for use with my new iPhone. It seems that the iTunes activation interface doesn't care about business customers who need to use their EIN instead of a personal SSN. Are iPhones just for young hipsters who didn't want to incorporate because they are too busy fighting the man?
Either way, since Verizon has my EIN on file and I can only enter my SSN in iTunes they can't match the accounts and port my number over. I have elected to create a new ATT account with a new number. Monday I will call ATT and try and manually port my Verizon number.

Mike:
Were you successful in calling AT&T and manually porting your VZW corporate number?
Thanks,

  • Please Help! Straight Talk Ported My Number From Verizon

    I switched from Straight Talk to Verizon last month and had my numbers ported, everything was working fine until a few days ago.  Now, I am going on day three of not having service. I stopped in at the Verizon store and found out that this is a known issue. Apparently, those of us whom had our numbers ported from Straight Talk recently to Verizon had our numbers ported back to Straight Talk.  Somehow Straight Talk did this without our permission. 
    Our accounts are gone and we can't even access My Verizon for help as we are no longer have Verizon accounts. I was told by the store staff that the issue is being addressed; however, can you give me a time frame?   I am a first responder and need a phone for emergency activation and response.    I've sent multiple twitter and facebook messages with no response. 
    I'm worried that I'll lose the number I've had for 15 years and everything is linked to.
    This NEEDS to be resolved ASAP!   As you violated my contract, I may just take my new phones to a more reliable provider. 
    Thanks!

        I'm sorry to learn of the issues outlined in your post outbounddan! Sounds like your phones were ported out to your previous carrier. Please be assured that we would not be able to port those numbers out to any other carrier. The process must be initiated by the other carrier with your authorization. We can certainly start the port-in process to get your numbers back to us if you visit this link http://bit.ly/qDhvBY

  • How to port phone number from verizon?

    I have signed up with a different carrier.  I have/had a pre-paid monthly plan with verizon. I want to port my phone number and close my account. But somehow I can not reach anyone live on the phone to do so. There is no webpage place for this either.
    thank you

    You need the carrier to imitate the port. You can't call Verizon and have it done.

  • Iphone 3G - cannot get POP3 email accounts from verizon to work

    I have tried everything I know to do. I am unable to get my 2 verizon pop3 accounts to connect. Any suggestions? I am somewhat dismayed at the apparent Apple attitude that it's our problem, not theirs. In the past I've always been able at Verizon to talk to someone and resolve a problem. Not here it seems. Maybe I've made a mistake.

    I have SUCCESSFULLY gotten my 2 Verizon POP accounts to work on my iPhone 3G. It took some trial and error but I haven't read this solution anywhere but it worked for me. I can send and receive from the iPhone from anywhere.
    Prerequisite:
    You need to set this up from your home or wherever your Verizon access is and you need WiFi there.
    First:
    Delete any Verizon accounts you set up that don't currently work.
    Second:
    Turn on and log into your home base WiFi.
    Third:
    Go to mail set up and add account/other.
    Fourth:
    Fill in the four fields using your exact Verizon mail account information. I say exact because I use a forwarding service to alias my email. Not now, that comes later and works too.
    Fifth:
    You will get an error (in due time, not quickly) that will ask if you should try again with SSL turned OFF. Answer YES.
    Sixth:
    Repeat; that error will come a second time. Answer YES again to turn SSL off. If you are lucky you should get four quick check marks on the settings and the account will be created.
    Seventh:
    Now send a test message (WiFI still running) to an outside email you can get to, like GMAIL or Yahoo etc. It may be slow to go, the first time. Hopefully it worked and you can reply and receive it back. You may need to refresh your mailbox. It gets faster/normal later.
    Eighth: (Optional)
    If it worked and you have an alias, change the appropriate fields now and test again and check the resulting email on the outside service.
    Ninth:
    and hopefully last. If all is well to this point. Turn off WiFi and test with AT&T native services. It should work. Make sure your Fetch options are turned on as Verizon isn't push.
    Please post your results if this helps you!
    One bad thing, since we set up this account manually it can't impost your folder structure and I can't see how to add any in iPhone OS.
    I'm not sure exactly why this worked but my educated guess is by using the WiFi we're inside the Verizon firewall and the servers greet you as a known entity. Then when it works and you come from AT&T it recognizes you and welcomes you in. A handshake of some sort. It's not perfect and sometimes the fetch doesn't work, you may need to kick it along. But, you'll get your mail until Apple & Verizon, and maybe other services make nice.

  • Porting from Verizon

    I waited out the 3G and now I'm ready to make the leap from my Verizon Razr to an AT&T iPhone. Anyone have experience or tips about porting my number from Verizon? In particular, my number is a secondary number on a family plan.
    I haven't seen anything about porting in a while, after some traffic with the original release - does that mean it's all a non-issue now and AT&T/Apple have it all figured out, or is it hopeless and no one even tries?
    Thanks!

    I had same experience.
    Got to AT&T store at 9:30am on Saturday. Second in line.
    At 9:45, AT&T employee came out and tells us they had 10 phones; about 8 people in line by then.
    By 10:15, I was out the door having had a great experience. No high pressure sales from clerk (in fact she asked me where I worked so she could check to see if I was entitled to some type of company discount...I was...15% off, making my plan $20 cheaper per month than what I've been paying Verizon for similar service) and iTunes activated immediately.
    At about 12:30, I got a text from AT&T saying my number porting from Verizon was complete. I called my husband and asked him to call me back to check that my iPhone rang and not my Verizon Moto Q. It did!
    Now if only MobMe worked as well....

  • Business account, changing main person on the account question

    We currently have a business account through Verizon Wireless that has unlimited everything.  The ownership of the business has changed and we need to get the account billing and everything changed into the new owner.  We will be removing the main account owner from before from the account.  Will this mean that we can no longer have the unlimited package we previously had? 

    Business customers have Verizon account executives which when called on their phone will just change the person in charge of the account to the person the company designates.
    This does not result in any changes other than the responsible contact at the company.
    Your company normally has a wireless contract which does not change with replacing contact or responsible billing people.
    Good Luck

  • Multiple phones on business account. How do I access all of them on MyVerizon?

    We have around 50 phones and 70 laptops using Verizon Wireless. I was told by the sales lady at the store that if I sign one of those up with MyVerizon that I would have access to see all of them.

    See if this helps:
    Verizon Business Accounts Login - Verizon Wireless
    You can log in or register your number (if you are the primary, then your number would have access to all the data - if you are an employee, I think you will only see your data.)
    If you need to ensure that you get access to the data you need, and this doesn't work, then contact a a business services rep - Verizon Wireless Business Solutions Contact Us Form

  • Business account

    Our office has set up one paid business subscription.
    Does everyone need to use that account so that we can have multiple video conferencing?

    The iPhone is certainly NOT a blackberry replacement -- in fact, almost all the reviews have mentioned that it might not be the right phone for most business folks or power-texters.
    What it does, it does excellently.
    You will need to convert your business plan to a personal plan. You will most likely not lose any of your features (including rollover minutes since you are keeping the same number) but you will forever lose your Business discount.
    ATT has slowly been trying to do away with the Business discounts since re-acquiring Cingular. The iPhone is one example, but I expect future PDA phones might also have similar conditions.
    Apple/ATT made a wise decision not allowing Business accounts at this time -- there would be nothing but public outcry about the lack of business features on the phone, which would be worse than just targeting the consumer market.
    I switched from the Cingular 8525 to the iPhone and I can't be happier -- but I did not use any of the business features on the 8525 making most of them redundant. The decision for me on the iPhone was NOT the text messaging, or the e-mail (both of which are MUCH harder and slower to use than on the 8525) but the fact that I can have my PDA, Phone, and iPod/videos...the major draw was the iPod features, not the data or PDA features, and the ability to carry one small thing in the pocket rather than two or three.
    As to the advertising -- ATT and APPLE both were quite clear about not having Business Accounts from the getgo. Hopefully people do more than look at TV ads to decide if they are going to buy something. A quick look at the ATT and Apple websites will say the same.
    Good luck -- it's not that big a hassle to switch over, many have, and there are many threads already on the topic of you do a search.

  • Verizon system can't handle porting phone number from Straight Talk customers?

    According to this discussion: Verizon system can't handle porting phone number from Straight Talk customers?  If still true, then VW misses a huge business opportunity. Adjusting the sizing the account number to be wider is not a hard system adjustment task and have almost zero system ripple-effect impact (I am in IT works).
    http://www.prepaidreviews.com/straighttalk.html
    "Straight Talk makes it impossible to port an existing cell phone number from their operation to a competitor such as Verizon. To port my cell phone number I was told by Verizon to provide my ST account number. It was not listed on any account documents. After 45 minutes on hold, ST customer service told me it was the cell phone serial number. But that number was too long to insert into Verizon's system. After another hour long wait, ST directly told a Verizon rep that was the only account number. As a result, I had to abandon the cell phone number that I have had for nearly 10 years and get a new one. I will not be doing any business with ST in the future."

    Ah ha!  Okay, so I just need to be more patient in other words.    I'm just glad nothing is wrong.
    I did use the "erase all data and settings" option on the iPhone 6 menu because I wanted to go through the setup myself.  I hope that didn't mess anything up.
    Thank you!!

  • My account was hacked in September -- Still no action from Verizon. Please help!

    My account was hacked in September, someone added an additional line and ordered an iPhone, adding more than $600 to my account. Verizon quickly identified this as fraud and assured me that my account would be cleaned up. Almost three months later, I still have hundreds of dollars billed to my account that no customer service rep has been able to explain. My service is now pending disconnection, even though I have continued to make my regular payments, but I have refused to pay the additional charges incurred by the hacking of my account. I've spent more than two work days on the phone with Verizon, speaking to about three dozen agents and supervisors, explaining my situation all over again, taking valuable time off work and away from the family. They all promised to help, but nobody actually fixes this mess that I did not cause. Ten days ago, I wrote a letter to customer service which I will post below. I have not heard back from Verizon. No one has called to apologize or offered help in restoring my account. As a cellular customer of 16 years, I have never experienced something like that. I simply don't know who to talk to anymore to get this straightened out. No customer deserves to be treated like this. Please help me find out who I can contact with the authority to clean this up for me! Many thanks in advance.
    Here is the letter sent to Verizon with signature confirmation Monday a week ago. I does not detail today's trouble, when I spent another 90 minutes on the phone with three different agents and one supervisor, but I got disconnected every time. 
    Dear ladies and gentlemen,
    I am writing this as a customer complaint. My family has been a loyal Verizon Wireless customer since August 2011, after making the change from T-Mobile. We currently have the 15GB Everything Plan with five lines, all of which are used by family members. Since July, we are also customers with Verizon FIOS for our home internet and cable, which means we pay Verizon an average of $5,600 annually. 
    My wife is the primary account holder and I have an EDGE plan for my own line. In September, I ordered a new iPhone through my local Verizon store in XXXXX., which is, as far as I know, an independent store with a Verizon license/franchise. When I picked up my phone, the agent at the store noticed that my account was in “chaotic standing.” First, he said that we had been advised badly by Verizon when we initially signed up in 2011, resulting in much higher monthly fees than we could have had under the 10 or 15 GB Everything Plan, and he suggested that we switch to this plan immediately.
    It was frustrating to learn this, because in my two years of communicating with Verizon agents by phone, no one ever bothered to inform us that we paid more for our account than we had to and that there was a more compact plan available which would have decreased our monthly bill. My daughter exceeded her data allowance on an almost monthly basis, which we could have avoided under the plan that we currently have but didn’t know about.
    Then I also learned that my current bill had suddenly skyrocketed to over $900 because a sixth line had been added to our account and someone had ordered a phone and charged it to our account. The local agent was extremely helpful, he immediately suggested that this was fraudulent activity and he called Verizon to restore my EDGE eligibility which I had lost due to these fraudulent charges that I had not caused and not paid. He did talk to the Verizon fraud department and reported the incident, and I was told that the additional charges would be taken off my account and my good credit – and EDGE eligibility – would be restored. In good faith that Verizon would take care of this, I left the store as a slightly worried, but satisfied customer.
    About a week later, I called Verizon to check on my account status because I wanted to EDGE up my teenage son’s line XXXXXX and get him a new iPhone 6 for his birthday. The agent I spoke to told me that the fraud situation was still showing on my account and that my EDGE eligibility had not been restored yet, but he assured me that this would be taken care off by the following week, when my son’s line would be eligible for an EDGE upgrade under his plan’s timeline.
    When I called back the following week, I was saddened to learn that contrary to the previous assurance, our EDGE eligibility had not been restored and the fraudulent charges to our account were still showing on our bill, which was quite confusing because it was impossible to figure out my actual charges. What followed was several weeks of phone correspondence with Verizon agents who apologized again and again and assured me that my EDGE eligibility would be restored so I could order my son’s phone and my the additional charges would be dropped from my account.
    However, this didn’t happen. I am not going to list the entire call log, because I know that you can easily access these records. But for several weeks in October, I spent many, many hours on the phone with Verizon, explaining the entire situation regarding the fraud again and again. I listened to assurances, promises, apologies, and I was transferred multiple times to different departments to get my EDGE eligibility restored. After an incredibly frustrating and time consuming experience I was eventually able to order my son’s phone. But several days later, when I checked the order status, I noticed that the order had been canceled because – I’m sure you can guess it by now – my EDGE eligibility had still not been restored. This forced me to go through the whole process again and I spent an entire afternoon on the phone with several different agents and managers until in the early evening I was finally assured that my account standing had been restored and that I could order my son’s phone. That day alone, I had to leave work five hours early to get on the phone (from about 2 p.m. until 7 p.m.) and work this situation out so my son could get his phone, which he eventually received on Oct. 31.
    I work as a newspaper reporter and I have an incredibly busy schedule. Yet the inability and unwillingness by Verizon to help me straighten out my account took much of my work time, which I had to make up for at a later time in order to get paid. Unfortunately, this meant that I had to take out much of my highly valued family time to talk to Verizon, which increased my frustration with your company, as you surely can understand. 
    As a loyal customer, I can’t stress enough how incredibly frustrating this experience was. I was forced to spend many hours away from work and family just to deal with the same situation over and over again. I lost track of the hours, but I am sure that one look at your call log will confirm that adding up these hours it was more than two full work days that I had to spend on the phone to work out a situation that I did not cause to begin with. Adding to these already incredibly upsetting circumstances were at least a couple of calls where it took me 15 minutes to get an agent on the line who then promised me to transfer me to the right person to help me, only, after more waiting time on hold, to be disconnected and start the process all over again. How I was able to maintain my composure and continue to be polite and respectful to the agents, I don’t know. I’m sure they are used to much harsher treatment from other unsatisfied customer for much lesser reasons.
    It is bad enough that a company like Verizon cannot protect their customers from getting their accounts hacked and hundreds of dollars being charged to their account. But what is even worse is that I have to spend hours and hours of valuable time and energy to mitigate a situation and fix a damage that I have not caused in the first place and had no control over, and Verizon has not offered me anything to reward my patience and loyalty other than brief apologies from stressed out agents that obviously were not qualified to handle such situation, resulting in their own frustration with this issue.
    What adds to this extremely frustrating and highly disappointing experience is that because of the hacking and the fraudulent charges that polluted my account for many weeks, it has become impossible for me to understand what I am being charged for and what I actually owe for the services that I did order and did receive. This frustration once again peaked on Saturday last week, when an agent told me that my past-due charges are more than $600, with a total of more than $900 total due within three weeks, ( that is about the same what Verizon charged me after my account had been hacked and an additional line and phone had been ordered by the perpetrator) in spite of my continuing “blind” payments towards my balance since this all began in September.
    I talked to two agents on Saturday, one from Customer Service; the other from the billing department, and neither was able to explain – or even seemed to understand themselves – how these charges occurred. In good faith, and in order to avoid a disruption of service, I still made a $170 payment, which is about half of what my total monthly payment should be under my current plan with five lines, and I vowed to pay another $170 by the end of next week in the hope that by then, someone with authority and complete and full understanding of these circumstances will have contacted me to explain my account and issue a sincere, well meant apology for what has happened to this loyal customer.
    Believe me, I rarely reach out to a company and complain like this. I have a busy and hectic schedule, but the time it took me to write even this long letter to Verizon was just a fraction of the time and energy that I wasted to restore my account and get my son his new iPhone on time for his birthday, which he was looking forward to very much.
    But after my experience with Verizon, I feel that Verizon should know that no loyal customer deserves this type of treatment and should ever have to go through what my family and I had to endure because of Verizon’s inability to protect the privacy and integrity of our account, and to restore it to its original standing.
    I left T-Mobile in 2011 after a total of 13 years as a loyal customer, because I was unhappy with their increasingly bad customer service. I came to Verizon in the hope that my family would have a better experience here, and we were ready to stay with the company for many years to come. But at the moment, we are regretting and reconsidering our choice. Our final decision will certainly depend on the final outcome of this incredibly frustrating situation.
    Believe me, I absolutely understand that fraud and the breach of customer account information occur even in the best and most professional companies. But I also believe that if this happens, the integrity and professionalism of a business must be judged based on their handling of such instances and how they treat customers who fall victim to such criminal practices without any wrong doing on their part.
    A company should do their best to not only fix the damage and try to make sure that this will not happen again, but also guide and support their loyal customers affected by this and provide them with enough information to understand what is going on. Most importantly, it should be Verizon, not the customer, who should carry the burden and the responsibility of such fraud. But unfortunately, Verizon Wireless has fallen short in this regard, as we were completely left alone and forced to fight for the full restoration of our account and to this day are confused about our bill and these sky-high charges that no one can explain to us.
    On top of that, I am tired of having to explain this situation dozens of times to different people with your company over and over again. No one should have to go through that, and I believe that your personnel has enough pressing business to deal with than to waste their and their customers time.
    Please understand that I am not complaining about the services by the more than a dozen individual agents that I talked to in order to sort out this mess. The vast majority of them have been polite and a couple honestly tried to go out of their way to help me. It is rather the way that your customer service is set up in total that reeks of failure to support and help a customer whose account had been hacked and scrambled beyond recognition.
    That’s why it is my hope that my reaching out to you will raise a red flag at the right places within your company to identify the failures in your service, work the problem and fix it so other loyal customers like me will be spared such hassle in the future. I think it wouldn’t be too far fetched to assume that we are not the only ones and last ones to fall victim to hacking and failing customer protection and service as a result.
    Of course I also sincerely hope that my complaint will finally set the wheels in motion to remedy the problems in our own case.  We believe that the very least that Verizon could do as a sign of good will and to honor our customer loyalty to is sweep clean our account and allow us to start from scratch so we can track and understand our future monthly charges and continue to make reliable payments to our account as we have done for more than two years until the hacking of our account and Verizon’s unprofessional and helpless handling of the situation has changed everything.
    I hope that someone within your company will take this complaint seriously and resolve this very unfortunate and frustrating situation in a manner that shows that we are valued and respected as the loyal customers that we (still) consider ourselves and that will help us restore our faith and trust in Verizon. 
    I am looking forward to your timely response.

        I'm confident that if you have spoken with our Fraud Team directly, that there are the proper wheels in motion to resolve all of the concerns that occured as a result of the fraudulant order on your account. It may take up to 2 bill cycles for all the adjustments to be applied and the changes made to your account to bring the dates and eligibility back to normal, so you should definitely be nearing the end of your wait. Based on your description, it may have been a while since you spoke with them directly instead of the customer service team, so I encourage you to give them a call at your earliest convenience to put your worries at ease. If you need to make arrangements for the charges that appear on your account, our Financial Services Team at 866-266-1445 will also be able to help possibly place a hold on the account regarding the disputed charges so there's no accidental inturruption in your service due to this unfortunate situation.

  • Best way to port from Verizon to AT&T (device only)

    My wife and I are Verizon customers. We wish to switch to AT&T's Mobile Share. We currently have Verizon iPhone 5's and plan on purchasing the device only Verizon iPhone 6 Plus because of it's GSM/CDMA capabilities. Since Apple is not yet offering device only iPhone 6's for purchase online, we will have to wait until they have them in stock at our local Apple store. We are considering going with the AT&T double your data plan. Our concern is that the iPhone 6 Plus won't be in stock by the end of October when the double your data plan offer expires. What would be the best way to ensure that we don't miss out on this offer? Create a Mobile Share account now for our Verizon iPhone 5's, since they work on GSM, and when we purchase the iPhone 6's, put the AT&T SIM cards in them and then tell AT&T we want to port our Verizon number to AT&T? Will we need to tell AT&T that we have replaced our iPhone 5's with iPhone 6's? My understanding is that we can only request the porting via a phone call to AT&T or in an AT&T store. Can we do the rest of the process online?

    Ok, I am onboard now...a little dense today
    Your plan sounds doable.  The Verizon iPhone 6/6+ come unlocked on the GSM side right out of the box.  So, you can just put in an AT&T nano-sim and activate on the AT&T network.  There are users who have commented on just popping in there old AT&T sim and being operational.  But there are caveats that additional functionality is now available with the iPhone 6/6+ that may need a new sim to use...check with the AT&T folks and see what their take is on that.
    Also check on the availability of a contract-free Verizon iPhone so you don't get burned by being locked into a two-year contract by getting a subsidized iPhone 6/6+.
    Your plan sounds pretty sound.  I have been thinking of getting a 6 from Verizon, have been a Verizon user for many, many years and don't want to switch, but the unlocked GSM is important.  Travel a lot and it would be nice in other countries to get a pre-paid sim and avoid roaming chargers.

  • How will I make an online account when I don't have a mobile device from Verizon??

    I have a 4g Mobile broadband 5gb device.
    How will I make an online account on verizon when I don't have a phone line from them? I made my first payment through phone and I attempted to make an online account when I received my second bill, but it needs a password that was supposed to be sent to me through my email. it has been 2 weeks now but I haven't received an email yet.

    Thank you to the community for the great information provided. Violaacsay have you requested an online password? If not, please send me a private message with your name and mobile number. I will then send you the online password to the address on file. Please allow 7 - 10 business days to receive it. 
    Thank you, 

  • Itouch is connected but can't get email to work from Verizon account

    Hi,
    I have a new I-touch which is connecting fine to my wireless and will recieve and send email from an alternate email server.
    But I cannot get the settings correct for my verizon.net address to work on the I-touch.  It confuses me as my email address is verizon.net, but my old settings on my pc are incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. Should I be trying incoming.verizon.net, or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net.
    I have my user name without the @verizon.net and I have checked the password many times.
    I have the port setting at 587.
    It is on password authentication.
    Can anyone share with me which settings are working for them???
    Thanks,
    Laura
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't have a iTouch, but I do have an iPhone ...  the answer to your question depends on what "experience" you have when you get your mail from Verizon.   Are you using the Yahoo! portal experience perhaps?
    If so, the iPhone has a Yahoo! account profile which appears to work.   You use your full @verizon.net email address as the logon userid and your email password for Verizon.
    Standard POP also works ...

  • Switching from Family Plan to Business account

    I have been a customer of Verizon for years & have boasted about the service they provide.  However, recently I have tried to change my account from a Family Plan (5 phones) to a Business Account (needing 7-10 phones) & found Verizon was far from accommodating.  After setting up the account with a rep, I was informed that my company did not have enough credit history & I would need to pay a $125 deposit PER PHONE.  This is insane.  I could understand if I were a new customer, but I have a perfect payment history with Verizon for the past 4-5 years & they want an $875 deposit just to change my plan.
    Oh, the rep was quick to inform me that I would receive my deposit back in a year with interest.  What an idiot...don't patronize me!  In a small business, cash is king.  Every dollar my company spends must see a 2 dollar return minimum....quickly.  Verizon is clearly making a statement that if you're an existing customer, they'll give you great service...but you're stuck in your plan.  Verizon also clearly has no intention in helping small businesses grow.
    In doing the math, I have found it cheaper to pay off & end my current Family Plan with Verizon & join Sprints business plan.  I really don't want to, but might have to....unless Verizon steps up & does the right thing.

    Verizon will screw small business out of money any way they can.  I got screwed when my business experienced call volume surge and incurred a massive overage amount. No notification from Verizon whatsoever.  They at least cut the overages in half. 

  • Need help activating Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon for iphone 6 business account

    I need help activating Advanced Calling 1.0 on Verizon for iphone 6 business account. I was on the phone with Verizon for over an hour and they can't figure out why it's not working. I'm trying to activate the Voice & Data and all I get is a spinning circle but it never actually works. Anyone have any ideas?

    I just pulled this from the Verizon page. Not sure if it applies to you or not, but it could explain part of your problem since you identify this as a business account.
