Re: The ongoing saga of text issues with Verizon Wireless

Question, has this problem only occured on smartphones? If so, I'm wondering if you've tried the oh so painful factory data reset, then leave the phone mostly "stock" to see if it happens? A basic tenent of troubleshooting is to try and find a common denominator...wondering if you have a preferred app that may be causing you issues.

mrpearsoy,
Thank you so much for your insightful commentary.  I am curious to know your credentials that support your statements, how long have you worked for Verizon or with cellular networks?
#1.  Maybe I will come by your favorite dining establishment and take a bite of your meal since, well you still get 95%.  I don't believe that Verizon will accept 95% of my payment.
#2 Do a little more research, there are far more people experiencing the issue that you suggest.  Far more than your 2 to 3 pages.
#3 If I wanted a phone and just a phone I would have bought a plain old phone.  It is not a phone and Verizon themselves don't market as just a phone.  It is in fact a productivity tool, a media tool, and a whole lot more.
#4 Yes I have used ALL of those phones and then some. I have a dozen phones that are worthy of service, and probably 20 more that are too hold to run on today's networks.
In the future you would be better served to keep your ignorant comments to yourself.  I didn't ask for a troll I asked for some assistance with the issue at hand.
And I provided assistance, based on what you told us. And no, I am not a VZW employee. This is a peer to peer forum. Its unfortunate that you arent competent enough to realize that my comments were not ignorant. It was based on information that YOU the original poster, provided. However, I did know in advance that you would have something SMART to say seeing as how I shot down your post. Im sure others would have as well, but nobody else took the time to post on your post, because they know that you are just complaining for the heck of it. I hope you do indeed now pay your etfs and post. More bandwith for others texts to go through. Troll, INDEED! Clown.

  • L2 Roaming issue with Avaya wireless phone on WISM -V6.0.196.0

    Hello Friends,
    I am facing Layer2 roaming issue with Avaya Wirless phone 3620 which are configured WPA / Pre-shared key auth with a SSID1 and face a cut or delay in the voice.
    But when i use Cisco Wireless phones and try to roam between one LWAP to other i dont face a cut or delay in the vocie which are
    Configured with 802.1x +CCKM auth .
    Then i configured new SSID 3 with 802.1x+CCKM settings for  the new Avaya wireless module 3631 , but still face cut and delay while doing Layer 2 roaming.
    While i was using these AP in WDS mode i never faced this Layer 2 roaming issue with Avaya wireless phones.
    In  current WISM all the LWAPs are supporting properly to the Cisco phone and Wirelss laptop clients.
    I request you to please let me know how do i proceed further to solve the issue and please let me know if anybugs or incompatibilty for WISM with Avaya wireless phones.
    Appreciate your response.

  • Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????

    Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????  AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router.  Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro.  Does this sound right?

    If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
    Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
    One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
    One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
    You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
    Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
    Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
    Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
    You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
    Good luck.

  • Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

    Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

    I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced.  I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced.  My current one is working OK but does stick a bit.  Seems to get worse over time.  My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem.  Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
    I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen.  My wife has the Tour as well.  She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it.  It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts.  When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse.  Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster.  As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster.  If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play.  My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine.  I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this 

  • How can I reach a person with Verizon Wireless

    Due to Hurricane Sandy I have a bill payment problem.  I called my bank this morning to see if they were open.  They were.  I drove to the bank to make a deposit and they had already closed so I could not make the deposit.  Tomorrow is a wait and see.  I may not have power.  That wouldn't prevent me from making a deposit.  If my bank is closed due to no power and I can not make a deposit what will happen with a payment I made via phone using my checking account information already saved in the billing part of Verizon Wireless.  I always make my payment either via computer on-line or by phone.  Always using my same checking account.  I knew I could get to the bank the next morning (today, Monday, November 29th) and there would not be a problem.  I even went to my checking account and checked on line.  The Verizon payment which would show up as an ACH (I think I got that right, I don't have my checking account open and in front of me right now) payment and indicate it was to Verizon Wireless was not on my account yet.  My concern began to grown as the storm is causing so many closures.  Tomorrow the bank may be open, I make my deposit, and no problem.  I wish I had the security of speaking with someone from Verizon Wireless since this is something I've never encountered and hopefully never do again.  I am a worrier.  I try not to worry about things I can not do anything about. Considering that my cell phone was my only contact once power goes I wanted that security or I would have waited and done things in the opposite and normal order.  I do not know how and have not been able to reach an actual person with Verizon Wireless.  I am hoping someone else will have the answer to my question and know how to reach a person.  I would then stop worrying.  I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for about ten years and I have four cell phones on my plan including my father who lives alone in Groveland, FL and was nearly killed in a tractor accident a few years ago.  He did not have a phone.  I have gladly provided him with one and I don't want to jeopardize my wireless account.  That is why I am so worried about this.  He is worried about me up here in this storm and I am always glad to know I can reach him to check on him since he lives alone.  Verizon Wireless provided the security I needed for myself, my father, and my son.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Must have cell phone family - Janice

    Hi Ebru,
    Subsequence results are actually stored in their own resultlist container within TS.Sequencecall, which is accessible through the following statement:
    Locals.ResultList[step].TS.SequenceCall.ResultList
     where step is the index of the sequence call step. This resultlist is structured in the same way as the main resultList array. You can also access your subsequence directly from the sequence file container if it is in the same sequence file as the main sequence.  Navigate to this reference using the following:
    RunState.SequenceFile.Data.Seq[sequenceName]
     Using this reference, you can access the containers for each step's result container.
    Hope this helps!

  • I want to run down how dissatisfied I currently am with Verizon Wireless

    I want to run down how dissatisfied I currently am with Verizon Wireless; this stated with the pre-order of the iPhones on Friday I like many other customers received the "ecdp" error on the web site and it took 45 minutes to actually be able to place the order.  I got the order in and had a 09/19/2014 ship date; spoke with a few Customer Service Reps in various areas such as 611, on many of the 800 numbers available, Internet Orders (including a Supervisor) and even a Social Media Service Rep all who have confirmed this ship date to be accurate. 
    Well today (09/17/2014) I check the Pre-Order Status page and my date has been changed to 10/14/2014 so I call in to speak to Internet Orders and the Rep advises me that yes my date was pushed back but no reason is supplied, I asked to speak to a Supervisor and was transferred to Howard, Operator # 2431235, who stated that yes the prior rep was accurate and that there was no reason available as to why my ship date changed.  Howard continues by stating that as per upper management, Apple reported to Verizon that no iPhone 6+'s would be available at launch for Verizon to ship and that this has been common knowledge, within the company, that the 6+'s were not shipping until 10/14/2014, and that prior Verizon employee's to include supervisors were misinforming me of my shipping date.  Howard continued to state that the reason I got the "ecdp" error was because of the company that I work for as Verizon offers a discount so the 'ecdp" error is not something Verizon is currently addressing.  Howard then tells me not to worry that with the 10/14 date is a guaranteed delivery date and not to worry, if the phones come in early the order will be filled, I at this point ask Howard to note my account with our conversation to include the fact that he stated the 10/14 was a guaranteed date, at this point he states that while he is telling me this he will not put it in writing as at that point Verizon would be obligated to meet that date at minimum and he was not willing to put his position on the line if the phone is not shipped by that date(this can be confirmed by reviewing the recording of the call as I was advised that I was on a recorded line).  I then asked to speak to his supervisor and was told his supervisor went home for the day and that he was the highest level supervisor on at this time.  When I then asked for his supervisors contact information to lodge a complaint he said that I would need to call back in on 611 from my handset as Customer Service handles complaints not supervisors. 
    I did call back and speak with a Representative on 611 who tried to assist but was not able to do much, this rep took my information and is having their supervisor call me to try addressing the way Howard handled the call however this has not occurred at the time of this writing.  I did tell this rep that I was honestly considering going to another carrier, (I have been with Verizon 7-8 years and currently have 10 lines of service on my account) I know I will not get the iPhone 6+ on launch day with another carrier which was not the driving factor but rather the way Howard dealt with the situation and the lack of respect that as a customer of Verizon I have always got from other representatives, as you know it takes one person to sour someone on a whole company, Howard even stated that if I want to go to another carrier that was fine with him.  However, the Customer Service Rep I spoke with after Howard (I wish I could remember his name) calmed me down not to leave Verizon but did agree that a complaint needed to be filed, personally I would like to file it directly with an Associate Vice President or higher but do understand that there is a “Chain of Command” that needs to be filed
    Let this be a warning to anyone who call internet sale and gets Howard, operator #2431235, I would suggest you immediately request a different supervisor that will treat you with respect.  As stated above Howard will tell you that the iPhone 6+ was not and has never been available to ship on launch day due to Apple purposely not providing enough units to meet the demand and that Verizon knew this while taking our pre-orders. 

    I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

  • I want to close my account with Verizon Wireless.

    I want to close my account with Verizon Wireless.  Their customer support is horrendous and I do not want to do business with them anymore.  How do I close my account?

    The port out closes your account. If you had any early termination fees or if you ported out in the middle of your billing cycle you are going to be billed for used services. They will send you bills for about 3 months and the bill should be the same. If you refuse to pay it it will go into collections and then negatively affect your credit report. You must pay for services used.
    If this is not the case then you should call 1-800-922-0204 and speak with VZW directly as they are the only ones that can give you the specifics of why you are receiving the bill. Get to it because we want to but can't help you with the here. ;-)

    Try to log in to your account from your computer.  If it's locked, call customer service (800-922-0204).  If you can log in and all looks normal, forward the texts to SPAM (7726).

  • Texting issues with Droid charge

    I am having issues with texting also with my Charge among other things. I just got a replacement phone and have already lost multiple messages, or have not had messages go through. The texting function is a major part of my business and this phone is not at all reliable for texting. I even left my replacement phone with no apps loaded, so the problem could not be blamed on anything but the phone.
    I have also had the first phone reboot for no reason, and it would change the screen brightness to lowest for no reason. I am very unhappy with this phone.

    I have just discovered why some text msgs do NOT go through.  If you have caller ID blocking turned ON and subsequently you have added *82 in front of those phone numbers that you want the person to see who you are, the *82 blocks the text msg to those phone numbers because text messaging can only handle 10 digit numbers.   
    OTOH, for what it's worth, if you want to block your caller ID to a single voice-call phone number just put *67 in front of that phone number.
