Question about Verizon Internet

I am thinking about using Verizon internet for my laptop at home. I have heard of this thing that you plug into your laptop and you just pay for it and get internet that way. Does anyone know what that's called or what I am talking about, because I can't find anything like that on the Verizon website, and I know it exists because I knew someone that had it.

Does the term "Dongle" or "3G/LTE Modem" ring a bell by any chance? I believe what you're talking about may relate to mobile Internet that can be reached wherever you can get cell phone service, generally. Check Verizon Wireless or another wireless carrier for these.
Typically, if you can get Cable or DSL, or heck FiOS for that matter and you're not always on the road and away from home you're better off getting a fixed connection at home and using Wi-Fi rather than replacing what you have now with a mobile internet solution. Internet delivered to your home through a Cable, whether stranded copper, Twisted Pair Copper, Coaxial Copper, or Fiber Optic is often significantly faster and cheaper for what you get, and more consistent. I would suggest going this route if you're going to also be pushing or pulling any significant amount of data from the Internet as mobile data packages are often limited to Gigabytes a month with steep overages.

  • Questions About Verizon EDGE Plan???

    So, me and my guy went into what we thought was a regular Verizon Store to ask about combining our accounts to save some money (we are engaged).  My guy was having major issues with his Pantech Maruader and the sales person convinced him to get on the EDGE plan and get a Samsung Stratosphere II (he wanted a keyboard smartphone).  I asked about when we could combine our accounts and he said any time.  He suggested we do it on the 1st of next month though so the bill won't be huge.  Well, I called up Verizon today to try to get a quote again since I had forgotten.  They told me and also told me I didn't have to wait to get my guy on my plan.  So I proceeded on the website to try to "add a line" and it wouldn't let me.  We called customer service and they said an EDGE plan couldn't get under a non-EDGE plan and there was this"assumption of liability" phrase getting thrown around.  I said I accept the assumption of liability and they said they still couldn't do it.  If I wanted to connect to HIS plan I could but not vice-versa.
    So I have heard all these different things and stories.  And I wonder if he can just pay the balance off the phone and quit this EDGE plan and go back to the normal plan he had before, I believe the MORE EVERYTHING plan?  Another guy at the "Verizon" store said we can't combine the accounts and that the EDGE plan just came available two days before he got the new phone and the plan.  This was March 12, 2014.  He also stated that they were very uninformed about the EDGE plan as employees and that the "Assumption of Liability" bit was told to them last week.
    But from what I'm reading up here is that EDGE rolled out August last year????  So did I just get blantantly lied to so I wouldn't go off on the guy?  I didn't act angry towards him or anything just went in there asking what were th options so we can combine our accounts.  I want him under my account cause my job discount is bigger than his.  He also stated that we could just pay off the phone and there would be no early termination fee and he could go back to his regular plan...then transfer to myaccount, is this true??
    Please someone shed some light on these questions!!

    We tried to go into the Verizon store on N. Main St. in Suffolk, VA. yesterday to pay off the phone balance and get out of the EDGE plan, do the AOL and get him under my plan.  The Rep said we couldn't do that until it's been 30 days since he signed up for the plan.  That will be on Saturday, but she said wait until Sunday just to make sure.  So AGAIN I am getting a run-around.  I am tired of this situation.  Does Verizon not want $335 out of my pocket immediately??  I will be printing out this conversation and bringing it to the store again today.  Also, I hope you are a real representive and not a robot, since the other store told me the other responses from a chat I had on this site was from a robot and basically blew off any of it's answers...
    The original store btw is on Portsmouth Blvd. in Chesapeake, VA.  They "state" they are an authorized Verizon dealer but they are NOT an official store.  The REAL name of the store is WeRWireless and the address is 4300 Portsmouth, Blvd. #196, Chesapeake, VA. 23321
    The store I will be going to tomorrow will be Verizon Wireless, 1202 N. Main St. #200, Suffolk, VA. 23434.

  • A question about Verizon landlines

    I am thinking about switching my home phone to Verizon from Comcast because whenever I lose electricity my phone doesn't work. (The backup battery from Comcast is useless.) Does Verizon still use old-fashioned, actual, physical phone wires? Or do they only use modems and battery backups for new subscribers?  Thank you.

    I thought I also had a copper POTS line with FIOS but learned that it is not possible.  I have been paying for years for a "copper" phone line with my FIOS service but a tech came out this week and informed me (and showed me) that it is not true.  It is all digital and if the power goes out your "copper" line will not work any longer than the battery back up lasts.  
    Call them up.  Speak to a supervisor and they will confirm to you that your "copper" line does not in fact exist (if you also have FIOS).
    There are terminology issues here that should be addressed, in particular the phrase "copper phone line with my FiOS service."  It certainly is possible to have both a "copper" POTS line and a FiOS VoIP line at the same time.  I know this is true because I have such an installation at my home, with 2 separate monthly invoices to prove it..  I made it a requirement of my FiOS purchase that the original POTS line be maintained and that no changes be allowed to that arrangement.
    However it is not possible to have a single FiOS-based telephone line that uses copper wiring coming  INTO the home from the street, although telephone wiring inside the building will normally run on Cat3 copper wires.  What your installation had, from the time you first had a FiOS optical cable installed in your home, is a fiber-based system with a VoIP line.  This telephone system sends packets over the Internet.  It is not, never was, and simply cannot be, "copper-based." 
    It also seems unlikely that a cabal of employees at Verizon held a meeting and conspired to "defraud" you about "copper FiOS."  More likely you misunderstood the technology  from the onset..  This is unfortunate because the introductory literature both online and in FiOS promotional material clearly describes the basic technology, battery backups, fiber cables, etc.  If you later ask the company to re-install copper wiring and provide a POTS line, you will most likely find that they will not do it in your area, or that the charge will be out of proportion to the value.

  • Questions about Verizon Customer Service

    Christopher from Verizon finally called me back tonight. He lied to me repeatedly about calling me back several times over the last month. When I reminded him that he was calling my VERIZON PHONE and he could check the log of incoming calls, it would clearly show that I never received the call. Finally, he confessed to me that his father is a drug addict and that is what caused him to not return my calls. I immediately asked him to switch me to a supervisor and I was connected to a supervisor by the name of Christopher (ironically) badge #XXXXXX from Irvine, CA who understood my frustruation but could only credit me $75 for last month, this month, AND next month since my plan never changed in time for the next billing cycle. I WILL cancel my phones tomorrow and I WILL NOT be paying the $1,195 in early termination fees. Shame on Verizon. I never should have experienced what I did tonight. Not to mention the countless hours that I have spent on calls with them.
    Unbelievable.

    As Akitoscorpio said, I feel like I walked into the middle of the story.... clarkerw1122, your post gives no indication of what the original problem is/was, and all I see is frustration with the credit offered and apparently, a lot of effort to get that.  We don't know why you are seeking more of a credit, if it is justified...
    You may be entitled to more of a credit,  $75 may be very generous.  Without details and more of the story, we can't be much help to you (if you did come here for help, that is).  Maybe you just wanted to vent...

  • A few questions about the internet & Wi-Fi

    i am getting a ipod touch for christmas, but i need to know a few things first.
    how does the internet work? is it on Wi-Fi? where do you need to be to connect to Wi-Fi? like, can you get a reciever, or whatever, to put in your house, or do you have to go to an airport or some place that has Wi-Fi to be able to use it? if you can use it in your house, where do you get a reciever thingy from?
    okay well thank you if you answer my question(s).

    this is the one i have

    i like linksys best, but belkin makes routers too. also if you went with the wireless G router instead of the wireless N it might be cheaper but you'd lose some speed (i think). i know its a pain in the butt to buy this stuff to connect. i remember when i bought my mini i spent 4 hours screwing with it before i had to run to best buy at 10 pm and buy windows XP!

  • Question about Verizon insurance

    If I enroll in the Verizon insurance plan and something happens to my phone, do I still get a refurbished as a replacement?

    Personally I have had a great experience with Assurion. They even upgraded me to a better phone because it is what they had in stock. There is really no problem with a refurb, at least you know that a tech has gone over it using a 10 category 100 point per category checklist and it works. I prefer refurbs beacause they are tested and known good equipment. I hope that allays your fears. I'd rather pay $99 bucks for a refurb than have to shell out 600 bucks for a new device any day. They will also replace and accessories that you might have lost as well as long as you let them know about them when you make your claim. Well worth it.

  • Buying a Macbook, question about wireless internet

    Hi everyone, I'm soon going to purchase a Macbook, just the $999 one. I have it for school and living in my apartment. Soon we're going to get a wireless ISP, not sure who we're going with yet. However my roommates also have laptops, not macs though. they have a toshiba and a netbook. My one roommate has a few wireless routers. I think one is Linksys, not sure what the others are. Just wondering how well my Macbook will link up to wireless routers that aren't the "airport" routers.
    I just remember having trouble trying to get my iMac hooked up to wireless internet a few years back. We tried using a Linksys then. My iMac's OS is version 10.4.11, fyi. I think the real trouble was that I'm not very knowledgeable at all when it comes to networking, haha.

    This. We have a Mac Mini (no wireless - connected via ethernet), an eMac (same), a MacBook (connected both wirelessly and via ethernet) and a MacBook Pro (same).
    All use the same D-Link wireless router.
    And when I was using the MacBook (just got the MB Pro today, so...), I never had a problem connecting to networks in airports (the kind with planes, not Airport routers, LOL), coffee shops, universities, etc..
    tl;dr: You shouldn't have a problem!

  • Question about accessing internet directly by WIFI

    HI, all,
    I'm a new user of Blackberry, I'm currently using 8900.
    My previous one is a windows mobile phone .
    Because I'm a college a student, my school is widely covered WIFI.
    After I start using 8900, I figure out almost all the internet appllication is limited to the BIS OR BES.
    I'm not sure if this is right or not.
    But I have tried several programs, like IM app, Gmail app.
    This is very messing me up , because WMM is not limited to connect either wifi or wap by carrier. 
    Is there any solution for this?  I do some research, there is a solution that change the TCP setting, but it was a very old post.
    Thanks for the help 
    Message Edited by cloudiett on 02-22-2009 09:13 PM

    The only way to avoid the Blackberry network is to go with a Windows device.
    Regardless of the fact that you're using WiFI or your carrier's wireless network, on a Blackberry device, you will ALWAYS be connecting via the Blackberry network.

  • Verizon iPhone - mobile hotspot and other questions about the data options

    I just ordered the Verizon iPhone. Can anyone explain the options here:
    1) Unlimited corporate email & Web (business and personal email) vs. Unlimited email and web for smartphones (personal email) - what's the difference?
    2) "3G Mobile Hotspot 2GB" - does this mean that there's no way I can share my 3G connection via wifi without paying the extra $20/month?? How about tethering to a single computer (USB, BT, or WiFi) - does that also require this extra option?
    3) equipment protection - what's the difference between Extended Warranty, Asurion Wireless Phone Protection, and Total Equipment Coverage?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hi
    Regarding your #2 question; yes, you must pay $20/mo to use the 3G Hotspot aspect of the iPhone, same as with any of Verizon's phones that offer this feature such as the Droid X, HTC phones, etc. And, there is NO additional charge to tether it to your computer; it's $20/mo regardless. You can still use the iPhone's WiFi feature to search the web which is part of the regular data plan. We're only talking about paying the $20/mo for the "up to 5 devices" jumping on your phone as a hot spot.
    I'm an Apple fan, have my MacBook Pro, but my phone is a Droid X. I've been a Verizon member since a year before they became Verizon. Additionally, I am part of the Verizon & Motorola test forum; testing new software updates as they come along.
    Something you should know about Verizon's 3G Hot Spot feature; it has issues. Those of us in the Motorola & HTC forums have experienced identical issues with regard to the 3G Hot Spot feature; it disconnects every 2 minutes, even when you are actively surfing the net. Verizon & Motorola Support have been very helpful to provide what they believe are fixes, including: changing the channel, hard resets, clearing cache, etc. It does not work. Most of us believe, this is NOT a Verizon issue, but a phone maker issue.
    I also have Verizon's MiFi 2200. It costs $59/mo and is purely a hot spot device; again up to 5 devices. I use it at home, for my lap top and for those who need connectivity. It outperforms the 3G hot spot feature of the Motorola & HTC phones by leaps & bounds, and I suspect it will out perform the 3G hot spot feature on the iPhone. Additionally, you get 5GB of download with the MiFi which Verizon is planning on offering increases to 8GB & 10GB. There is NO plan to increase the 2GB download limitation on the 3G Hot spot of the iPhone & other phones, and anyone who does basic software downloads & pics, knows 2GBS is not a lot space.
    So, I would recommend not paying the $20 until this is resolved. If you do, you could pay $39 more for a total of $59/mo for the MiFi, download the software to you home computer & notebook, and end up canceling your home internet service. I did this and have saved $70/mo in my total utilities.
    One other important note: Verizon's VZManager Software for their phones & MiFi. If you did pay the $20/mo for the iPhone and decided to tether to your USB port (for power while using) and you were to use the 3G hot spot feature, it will NOT work on 64 Bit computers, regardless if you are using the WiFi feature or directly using VZManager. The MiFi has this same issue. It will only work on 32 Bit when tethered. So, you'd have to reboot your computer to 32 Bit, if you have that ability. On a Macbook Pro, simply restart holding down the "3" & "2" keys.
    I have no idea why Verizon can't simply upgrade the firmware, even recent firmware upgrades have not resolved this. Most new computers are 64 Bit now.
    Despite this, I use my MiFi 100% untethered and carry my charge cord in my bag as it also works on my Droid, and I presume they may do the same for the iPhone; reduces the need for multiple power cords.
    I really looked forward to the 3G feature of the Motorola & HTC phones, but honestly, it's just not there yet; mine was slower than Dial Up, and I'm not kidding.

  • Question about internet security...please help!

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question about the macbook's internet security.
    A few days ago I became aware that my sibling was using a laptop for internet use at my house which he got from a person that I do not trust. He is very computer-savy and we're worried that he may have installed some form of spy ware on that laptop and in turn, may have tried (or succeeded) in accessing my Macbook through some form of spyware. My house is hooked up with a D-Link wireless router, and at the time, it had no internet/access-password.
    So my question is, could this person have accessed my computer and personal information remotely by and through the laptop that my sibling got from him. I was under the impression that Mac's have very strong firewalls, but I have also heard that as long as he knew what he was doing, he could have accessed my computer. I don't have a wireless "network" set up at my house, I just simply use the router for internet. But my sibling told me that this guy was his "network administrator" which leads me to believe that he must have had remote access to the laptop.
    Can anyone with knowledge on this problem please weigh in and let me know what I need to do to confirm that no one has accessed anything from my macbook.
    Thanks!

    One option if you want to be extra safe is turning on FileVault (System Preferences -> Security), which will encrypt everything on your computer so that if somehow someone does gain access to your computer they will have a next to zero chance of being able to read anything they get from your computer. You have to have a lot of extra hard drive space on your computer to turn it on though.
    Also, a "network" is just a connection between computers, regardless of the internet is involved or not. So when you connect your computer to the router which gives you the internet, you are putting your computer on a network. Now I believe that in order for this person whom you don't trust to gain remote access to your computer, they would have to have more information such as an IP address for your computer, through the router in order to get to it.
    One thing I think is very important to consider that isn't on the technical side of things is something called "Social Engineering" which is a form of cracking, or hacking. You can do your own research, but in a nutshell Social Engineering is getting people that have access to something I'm trying to hack to give me information. For instance, this person you don't trust could be giving your brother the computer in the hopes that he will download something through your router to that laptop which could give him IP addresses and other information. And then when he gets that laptop back he could scan it for useful information and your brother wouldn't know he did anything wrong at all. The best way to avoid this is purely education and communication. Even if your brother doesn't share the same suspicions about this person, surely he will understand the need to be careful and smart when it comes to sharing personal information in the digital world.

  • Verizon Internet Security Suite/ 3 and Fios Inside Wire Maintenance Plans

    I just noticed yesterday that I had been charged $6.99 a month for the "FIOS inside Maintenance Plan" and $5.95 a month for the Verizon Internet Security Suite/3 for the past 4 years. After calling customer service to inquire about these plans, I now understand that these plans are optional and automatically added to your bill unless you personally call and have Verizon remove them from your service.
    Wanted to share some thoughts and see if people out there feel the same way I do.
    I understand the Inside Maintenance Plan but I question the economical value to the customer, especially if it does not know it is paying for the plan.
    I do not understand the Internet Security Suite/3. Here I feel it is a total rip off. Nobody has been able to convey what the plan is all about and what value it adds to the customer.
    I feel that have been deceived and misled into paying for two plans I did not know I had because nobody presented the optional plans to me when I placed my order. Verizon provides these plans to you for free for 30 days, and if you don't call to cancel, the service continues automatically.
    Granted, if you carefully read your bill, as the Customer Service Representative so judiciously told me, you will notice that these plans are added to your bill as separate line items and up to you to question them. I personally think that these practices are unethical, benefit the company, and at the end, it is always the customer that loses. Whether these plans have merit or not, Verizon should be clear and transparent with its customers when they place their orders. The customers must be given all the information they need about these plans so they can make rational decisions on whether they will really benefit from these plans and be given the opportunity to decline these plans when they configure the order of their new service. Furthermore, I really see no value for Verizon to throw these plans in for free for one month as there is no measurable way for the customer to determine whether these plans provide any kind or value to them. Whether deliberate or not, what ends up happening is that hundreds of thousands of customers fail to follow up after one month to cancel the plans and they ended paying for them until they realize just like me that they had been paying for something they did not want at the first place. If Verizon offers the plans for free trial to its customers, the burden should be on Verizon to follow up with the customers to determine if they want to continue the plan or not. That seems to me like a fair compromise.

    Verizon Internet Security Suite is nothing more than money down the drain.  It's a throw away.  Get rid of it and use avast.com and malwarebytes.com, free virus programs that can do the job a lot better.  VISS kept saying for the longest time that my computer had no viruses until one day it slowed down to the point where I could no longer get onto the Internet, all because of viruses that VISS never detected!  What Verizon doesn't tell you is that it's the cheapest program on which Verizon can get the lowest bid and don't be fooled just because it's "powered" by McAfee.  I had to pay a computer expert from the phone book 165 bucks to learn this and at least now I am saving money. 

  • GOT YOUR LETTER ABOUT VERIZON BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY PHONE

    GOT YOUR LETTER IN THE MAIL TODAY REGARDING SETTING UP  OUR FARM WITH A VERIZON BUSINESS PLAN.
    FIRST OF ALL LET ME EXPLAIN...
    CURRENTLY WE CANNOT GET A SIGNAL AT OUR FARM.  THIS OCCURRED WHEN VERIZON AND ALLTEL MERGED AND THE SIGNAL STRENGTH ON THE TOWERS WAS CUT/LOWERED DUE TO
    LOCATION/OWNERSHIP OF THE TOWERS.
    GRANTED WHEN WE BOUGHT OUR PHONES WE HAD SERVICE AT OUR FARM AND IN OUR HOME, BUT FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS THERE HAS BEEN NO IMPROVEMENT OR CHANGE IN THE
    STRENGH OF THE SIGNALS.  WE HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT THESE ISSUES
    WOULD BE ADDRESSED... BUT SO FAR NOTHING - AND NOW YOU WANT TO OFFER US A BUSINESS
    PLAN.  WHO ARE YOU KIDDING??? UNTIL THE PROBLEMS YOU ARE HAVING GET STRAIGHTED OUT
    AND WE GET A SIGNAL LIKE WE USED TO HAVE YOU CAN FORGET IT.   WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE
    OUR VERIZON PHONES WHEN WE "GO TO TOWN" BUT AS FOR AT HOME WE WILL USE OUR LANDLINES - THEY WORK NO MATTER WHAT!
    IM SURE OTHER FOLKS FEEL THE SAME WAY IN THE RURAL AREAS...  WE PAY FOR A SERVICE AND
    DUE TO GREED IT GOT TAKEN AWAY. 
    THANKS!

    I really wish that we had that Staples easy button in situations like this because it sounds like you have had quite the experience with your cellular signal.  It is true that when we merged with Alltel and began converting cellular sites, some people noticed a difference with their signal strength; most people it was better, but few others noticed a decrease in signal strength. 
    If you have a farm, and are interested in having a cell site built on your property, we have a form you could fill out to have a cell site built on your property.  All the details are at this link:  http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/real estate/index.jsp  You can fill out the form and someone will look into it for you.  This is entirely up to you of course.  If you are not interested, ignore this link.
    We have a second option that will get you indoor coverage.  It is basically like a wifi router.  It hooks up to an internet connection and broadcasts a cellular signal instead of a wifi signal.  You can check out our indoor coverage solution at http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=gotoFemtocell 
    I hope this answers some questions about your coverage.  If you would like some more specific info, please PM me with your number and best time to call.  

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''

  • Questions about mac mini iTunes server, streaming to macbook pro, ipads, etc.

    I'm thinking about getting a mac mini to work with my NAS as a iTunes server. I have a bunch of questions about this. I will have two iPhones, a few iPads, and a laptop that will be accessing the files. I have iTunes match. This is basically to keep an always on computer for hosting the music/movies. My questions are as follows . . .
    #1 Are there any good, comprehensive guides to show you how to do this?
    #2 Can the movies be accessed when not at home on the shared network?
    #3 Can the iPads or the macbook pro download the shared movies to be stored locally?
    #4 Back to #3, how will it work on my macbook pro with listening to music (I have iTunes match)? Say i go to library and I break out my macbook pro and I don't have internet. What happens if I download music while at home onto my macbook pro to listen to it when I go to the library? Will i start a new library on my macbook pro? How will that mesh with the home server when I come back.
    #5 Is there a way to mirror files or folders? So something that I have on my macbook pro will also mirror on the home server.
    Thanks for your help on this. I'll post any follow up questions.

    No.  An early 17" 2008 MBP will accept 6GB RAM with the following specifications:  200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    4.) Most difficult...
    I want to extend the monitor wirelessly to a projector. I thought about using Apple TV and Airplay. However, support for airplay is for MacBooks 2011 and newer. I thought of using a PS3 and the media server, but I think this brings on a format compatibility issue. (my library is so large I could not afford to convert all my movies to MP4.) So, how would you recommend I put my extended monitor with VLC player onto a projector?
    Could I possibly connect the MBP to a Mac Mini as an extension? would this work natively? I would rather use a VGA cord than F with 3rd party app BS.
    Cannot help you there.
    5..) I want to Bypass iTunes this time around. I would prefer to use Finder and VLC to manage all of my music. I mostly play all my music on shuffle, so, could I create a playlist on VLC with all of my music and play it randomly? (im sure this is possible but i'd like to organize all my plans with confirmation.)
    You are not obligated to use iTunes.
    6.) Can i upgrade the keyboard to backlit? i've read that this is possible.
    All MBPs have back lighted keyboards.  Your either needs a NVRAM reset or a repair.
