Pro-Rated Tethering Charges

I don't need tethering often enough to justify the extra cost of DataPro with Tethering vs the standard DataPro plan on AT&T. However, it is sometimes nice to have when traveling. Is it possible for me to switch to the tethering plan only for the days that I am going to actually use it? Will AT&T pro-rate the bill? Could I do this multiple times per billing cycle?

Tethering is all or nothing. ATT does not sell it a day at a time. If you're going to be traveling, add it to your plan for that month and then disable it when you get home.

Data charge not-pro-rated when upgrading

Thank you Verizon for finding another way to screw loyal customers.
I recently upgraded to a smart phone in mid-month. When my bill arrived I was charged the full month's data charge for the month in which I upgraded. It's $30. Pro-rated it would have been more like $10. Frankly, you could have given me that one as a thank you for years of being a loyal customer. I could have switched to Boost or Cricket for a lot less. Instead you charge me for the whole month. Sure, we're talking $10, $20... won't break me, but add it up and it's millions of overcharges for Verizon.
Any lawyers out there who would like to launch another class action suit against greedy telecoms? ********. I suppose I could call and waste $20 worth of your customer service time, but I have better things to do.

I am recently pretty unhappy with Verizon, they disbanded their customer loyalty group and when I got a new plan I lost 4 mos of a credit I was to receive for "being a loyal customer" and not cancelling service, instead I upgraded and continued another 2 years...but got my son a new phone requiring a new plan and I am sorry you just lost that credit and we won't give it to you. Nice customer service, what happened to fixing things for your customers, and loyalty yes says alot that they disbanded that group. Also they are having issues with data looking high and I see NOTHING about it posted anywhere, but took several hours and days to talk to several people to find it's a known issue.

Data usage not pro-rated?

Ok--I upgraded my account to include data usage of 4GB on July 7th. When I received my bill I was quite surprised to see 2 months worth of the data plan on there as I had already paid July's bill. Since the billing cycle for July ended on 7/10 why was my $70 billing for the month of July not pro-rated down to approximately $7(10%) as I only had it for 3 days of the billing cycle?

When you make a plan change, you have three options:
Backdate, to include the full current billing cycle. Full charge for the month, full complement of minutes, data, texts - whatever you are changing. This is what you chose or opted for. If you increased your data allowance to cover overages already incurred, this would be the only wise choice. Full charge for 6/10 - 7/10, full use of the 4 GB data.
Effective the date of the change, in your case, 3 days before the next billing cycle. By choosing this option, you would only have 400MB of data allowed for the last 3 days of your cycle, and about 1.8 GB for the prior 27 days, so just over 2 GB for the month - probably not enough if you were making the change because you were over your 2 GB allowance.
Future date, to start with the next billing cycle, does no good if you are already over, but works if you anticipate a heavy usage month.
So, if you were already over your 2 GB, and by more than just a little, then prorating for 3 days would not be helpful. Pro-rating applies to both the charges and the allowance. You pay 10% of the fee, you get 10% of the data.

My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs.
You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters.
But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing. It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.

Javascript - Working with Dates, Selection Boxes & Pro-Rated Amounts to Calculate Costs

Hi, I'm looking for some help. I'm new to Javascript and working off my limited knowledge. Below are three (3) items I need help figuring out.
---JavaScript 1: Today---
I have a Document Level Javascript that gets the current date and automatically enters it into a field. Below is the example:
var f = this.getField("Today");f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
Problem: Each time I open the PDF, the date gets updated.
Need: I would like for the date to only be updated if the field is blank (empty).
---JavaScript 2: Registration Fee---
On this same form (application) I would like to calculate TWO costs. The first cost is mandatory registration cost, however the amount is prorated based on the month the application is filled out. Below is the pro-rated amounts based on the remaining months in the year:
Months Remaining     Fee
          12                       $15.00
          11                       $13.75
          10                       $12.50
          9                         $11.25
          8                         $10.00
          7                         $8.75
          6                         $7.50
          5                         $6.25
          4                         $5.00
          3                         $3.75
          2                         $2.50
          1                         $1.25
Note: The cost per month is $1.25. You are required to pay for the current month plus any remaining months.
So let's assume that you fill the application out in May 15th (05/18/2013). There are eight (8) months remaining in the year [May - Dec], so the pro-rated cost is $10.00 (See chart above).
For this calculation, I need to create a Document Level Javascript that would get the date from the field we used above called "Today" and calculate the "Registration Fee" based on the pro-rated amount. Then I would enter the cost into two fields (Dollars & Cents) as "10 00". (See below).
Form Example: $ [Text Field - Combo 2 characters] . [Text Field - Combo 2 characters] ---> "$ 10 . 00"
---JavaScript 3: Subscription Fee---
The next fee is an optional fee for a magazine subscription. On the form, the user will check a box (Named: "Subscription") if they want to subscribe to this magazine. This is similar to the example above in that the costs is based on a pro-rated amount. Below is the pro-rated amounts based on the remaining months in the year:
Months Remaining               Fee
          12                       $12.00
          11                       $11.00
          10                       $10.00
          9                         $9.00
          8                         $8.00
          7                         $7.00
          6                         $6.00
          5                         $5.00
          4                         $4.00
          3                         $3.00
          2                         $2.00
          1                         $0.00
Note: The cost per month is $1.00. Unlike the previous example, you are ONLY required to pay for the remaining months.
So let's assume that you fill the application out in May 15th (05/18/2013). There are eight (7) months remaining in the year [Jun - Dec], so the pro-rated cost is $7.00 (See chart above).
For this calculation, I need to create a Document Level Javascript: If the user checks a box (Named: "Subscription") requesting the subscription, then get the date from the field we used above called "Today" and calculate the "Subscription Fee" based on the pro-rated amount. I would enter the cost into two fields (Dollars & Cents) as "10 00". (Same as above).
Thanks,
Stephen

Two questions:
1. For "function calculateRegistrationFee", how do I format the return value into 2 parts in order to populate the different fields below. Let's use this example, see screen shot below:
2. For "function calculateSubscriptionFee", how do I format the return value into 2 parts (like question 1) & adjust for check box variable. If the user checks a box (named: "Subscription") requesting the subscription, then calculate cost. Else cost is $0.00. See screen shot:
Thanks,
Stephen

Satilite Pro M30 not charging

Hi,
My Laptop Satilite Pro M30 stop charging suddenly. I changed the adaptor and tried, tested the adaptor and its good. I find no problem with my laptop, its working perfect as i am still left out with some power in my laptop battery, My laptop battery going down and i am unable to charge it. Can any one tell me what might be the problem. Does laptop have any fuse inside to be chaged, or do i need to change my battery...Thanks in Advance for your valueble information.
cheers
Chandu

I the notebook runs without any problems on AC adaptor so I dont think that the AC adaptor has a malfunction. (try to remove the battery and connect the AC adaptor to check it)
Well, if the battery cannot charge so it could be a power supply electronic malfunction or something wrong with the battery.
It would be very nice to know how old the battery is because older batteries can lose the performance after some years of usage.
However, I would recommend contacting the ASP because the technician could check the notebook and find the bug.
But you can also buy only the battery and check if it helps.

Why is the google app not rated 17+ and why is msecure and 1password pro rated 17+

The google app on iphone and ipad is basically a web browser and should be rated 17+. On the other hand why is msecure and 1password pro rated 17+?

Look at the bottom of the page... In the lower right hand corner... There's a link that says "Contact Us".

HT201318 I upgraded to the $20 10GB plan in Nov 2011. Storage space ran out, so I upgraded to the $40 20GB plan two days ago (July 2012). Shouldn't the original 10GB plan (which would have lasted until Nov 2012) have been pro-rated?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Macbook Pro (Early 2011) charging problems

Hey Guys,
The Macbook Pro was bought in July of 2011 which is only a few months old .When I plug in my magsafe to charge the macbook pro it turns green, then orage to show that it is charging. However, after a few mintues of charging the orange LED light goes off and it stops charging, then the orange light comes on to charge for another few mintues then stops charging. I have been aren't to charge the macbook pro
Is the charger broken? I cant find or see anything tearing in the charging cable or anything broken with the power brick.
Thanks

First try resetting the SMC...
Reset SMC of a MacBook or MacBook Pro’s with an internal battery:
* Shutdown your MacBook/Pro
* Connect the power adapter to your Mac
* On the MacBook/Pro’s keyboard, hold down the Shift+Control+Option keys and the Power button at the same time
* Release all keys and the power button at the same time
* Boot your Mac as usual
Then try resetting the PRAM...
Resetting the PRAM
You reset the PRAM by rebooting a Mac and then immediately hold down theCommand+Option+P+R keys, you will then hear the Mac reboot sound again, signifying your PRAM has been reset. You must hit the key combination before the grey screen appears otherwise it won’t work.
If those two tricks fail, take the adapter and the laptop to the applestore. IMO it sounds like a battery issue and not a charger problem.
