Recorded message from Verizon

Hi folks,
I received a recorded message the instructed me to go to vzw290.com, or something like that to redeem something. I wasn't given the option to re-listen to the message, and I wasn't prepared to write anything down. I went to my account, and I don't see anything that leads me to believe I have a refund coming or anything like that. Have any of you experienced this? Could it be some kind of scam or something?
Thanks,
Barry

It's not from Verizon, it's a scam. There are numerous threads about it here.

I deleted 2 toolbars for a coupon application I recently signed up for. I can no longer view my email, I can a message from Verizon (FIOS) that says the application is blocked. How do I ublock and allow email?

I got a message from Verizon saying that my email application has been blocked and I can't figure out how to unblock this so I can see email. I will not be able to see any response you send, so can you send it to my husband's email: [email protected] Thanks.

Open iPhoto, then under iPhoto on the menu bar, choose Preferences, then Accounts.
Make sure the email account is setup just like in Mail...just checked mine and it had dropped the password (added that back in) and it had changed the port to a default 25 (changed that back to match Mail). Now it works correctly.

Cosmos VN250: 7770000001 data message from verizon wrecked my phone. I have an old plan that Verizon really wants to end. Even though I have data messages blocked, this number was sent to my phone by Verizon and while trying to receive it, it broke.

Has anyone had any kind of issue with their phone breaking after getting a message from Verizon, thereby requiring them to get a new phone, and hence, a new plan, that will be more expensive? I have an old plan, the Singlerate West 300 that they have been trying to get me off of for years. It's a great deal. Yesterday, after coming back into the country, my phone started to retrieve a message from 7770000001, which I found online is from VCAST/Verizon, and while trying to retrieve it, the screen suddenly failed so that now only the top quarter of the screen is visible, making it impossible to text or see contacts. I've been working on it on-line and with Verizon all day and my only options will all lead to me getting a new plan that is more expensive, even if I replace it with the same phone. New rule - you can't renew an old plan if it's not currently being offered. Is Verizon sending out software that can ruin a phone requiring a new one, with a new plan that's more expensive?

"Cannot Send Message" from Verizon to Hotmail

I see by reading this board that many others have problems with Verizon e-mail accounts.
When I try to send e-mails from my Verizon account into my Hotmail mailbox using an iMac, I get this message every time: "Cannot send message using the server e-mail." The only thing it is letting me do is send an e-mail from one Verizon folder into another. It won't let me go from Verizon into Hotmail.
I checked with Apple tech support, and their claim is that Verizon is for some reason blocking the outgoing e-mail into MSN/Hotmail.
I checked out the options under 'Advanced Account Info' but am not tech-savvy enough to understand what I am looking at, and the bottom section tells me to get advice from a systems administrator. Could anyone tell me the best way to go about getting this advice?
Thanks.

We would want to make sure the mail settings are correct. I have sent you a private message to get more information.

Can't receive SMS messages from Verizon Iphone 6 user

I have had an iphone 6+ since it came out. I've had my imessages turned off for several months because it was eating up so much data (all of a sudden...never an issue with my 4s before my upgrade.). Just in the last day, I've noticed I have not been able to receive message from my husband, who also has an iphone 6+ wtih Verizon. I've never had an issue with receiving his messages before yesterday when they just stopped. It shows on his phone that it was sent via SMS on his phone, but nothing shows on mine. I called other family members with iphones and Verizon as well and they have said they have sent me messages as well with no response from me, but I never received them. What's the deal?
1. All are iphone users
2. All are on Verizon's network
3. Sporatic timing of non-retreival of messages
4. iMessages work, but I do not want to use them as it has already caused me to up my data plan twice since upgrading to a new phone.
5. I've restarted my phone several times with no improvement

Hi Yosef,
I had to delete every one of my apps that I transferred over from my 4s and I was still going over data. I used all the same apps from my 4s and in the same manner and frequency. (I tracked my data useage for 2 years and i never went over 2gb of data). I turned cell data off on EVERYTHING except for facebook which I check occationally and google maps. Once I turned imessages off, I wasn't getting overages. (but I had to increase my plan twice to insure that). Now I can't use the apps I used to have and can't use them except on wifi without going over my data allowance within a few days of my plan starting each month.
I've messaged some family members and they indicated that their messages to me were automatically changing to imessage, though i have had it shut off since October. I did restart my phone yesterday, but changed no settings, which is when I suddenly couldn't recieve messages anymore. All the previous threads were in SMS. Why would it change to imessage within an SMS thread just from a phone restart?

Can you restore text messages from Verizon Cloud to a Samsung Stratosphere?

I pocket erased all my text messages. I have them backed up to the Cloud supposedly, but can't figure out how to download them back onto my phone. Went to a Verizon Wireless store today and they were useless. They didn't know anything about using Cloud. Looking online here, it appears that I should be able to select them and restore them, but I don't have the download option when I'm in Cloud.
Any alternatives to Cloud to restore these deleted texts too?

I spent about 15 minutest trying to have the same question answered by the Verizon tech support people. The first answer I received was that it was not possible to restore the messages. When I asked why the Verizon Cloud offered the option to save messages, I was told to hold. About 5 minutes later, I was told that I had to open the Messages app and wait for the messages to download. I had done that for two hours and nothing....Finally, I decided to save all the messages on the phone's SIM card using the Messages' "Save Conversations" option. I then, transferred the SIM card to the new phone, told it to "Restore Messages from SIM card and viola. All the messages were restored. I hope this helps. Until Verizon figures out the glitch in their app, this is the best way to restore your text messages.

Versamail can't delete messages from Verizon acct.

I can still send email from my TX via my Verizon account using Versamail, but when I mark messages deleted, tell it to delete on the device and on the server and update the server, the next time I do a mail sync the deleted messages come back.
Verizon changed the port on the outgoing server a while back, and I made that change in Versamail. Still doesn't delete stuff on the server.
Any ideas?

Hello Nelson Vasquez,
It sounds like you want to delete some messages from the Messages app. You should be able to do that with this info from the following article:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
How do I delete a Message?
You can delete a message by choosing More… after tapping and holding a message bubble in your current Messages conversation. Selected messages that will be deleted show a checkmark to the left. Tap the trash, in the bottom left corner, and choose Delete Message.
If you are doing this and it is not working, or this is not what you are wanting to do could you clarify just a bit for me?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Everytime I get an email, I get a text message from Verizon

I posted this in the Apple forum. I think it may go here instead, maybe? Anyway ...I had the Droid 4, but decided I wanted the Iphone, so i switched yesterday. Once activated, within minutes, i started getting a text message from the number 625-0. The text message always says VZWNMN:1 It's always the same text message, from the same number. When it started, I hadn't had any new apps or email accounts set up on my Iphone. I have read stuff about this via google. The majority says its something to do with the mail set up on my phone. It started before i set my email accounts up. However, I did have my accounts set up on my Droid 4 that i returned. I had done a factory reset before turning that phone in though, so they should have been deleted. Now every time I get an email I get that text. I have unlimited texting, so the pricing isn't an issue. I don't like receiving random texts though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have replied to the text with "stop, unsubscribe, delete, ..." and various others that one would normally use.

I was one of the folks saing its on your email side but this explanation is a lot better and now I agree its obviously not your email thats the issue...
try this
1. Login to your Verizon account.
2. Click on “Account” at the top and then “Change Features” from the bottom right.
3. Select the device you would like to remove the service from.
4. Then scroll down until you find “Contact Management” and click “Remove

Weird text message from Verizon Wireless

I have been receiving the text message from 900080004000 three times a day. It is from Verizon Wireless. The tech at Verizon store tried to fix this problem by blocking all text messages from email and website. It didn't work. Does anyone know how to stop it?

HT4061 I think I have a virus, yesterday I opened this message from verizon about me owning 1,000 to them. and today I have 8 messages from someone on my ipad. how can I tell or fix my ipad of this virus?

I think I have a virus, yesterday I got an email from Verizon that I own $1000 and I tried to open it and now I have 8 emails from the same sender. DO I have a virus and what should I do to clean my ipad?

Chances are your iPad is fine. when you clicked on that e-mail, you confirmed to them 'hey, real person' so now Mr Spammer is working towards his 'make money from home' quota of spam by sending you multiple e-mails. You can block him - I'm not sure what e-mail client you're using so no idea for exact instructions, but you'll probably need to do this on a computer not via the iPad) and you could report him....wouldn't hold my breath that the report will actually accomplish anything beyond the person being blocked.
The iPad's operating system is different from the OS of a PC or Mac. Viruses written for one can't run on the others. (and iPads dont' get viruses in the strictest definition of the term, malicious programs that propogate themselves across the operating system)
The down side, even if you block this person, they know your address is a 'live' one so you'll need to be alert and aware because I'm sure more spam and phising mails are on their way.
If you did enter ANY info, make calls and start changing passwords ASAP.

Message from Verizon

I received an email from Verizon this morning asking me to update my username, password and phone number on my account for some security type reason. Sounds legit. My concern though was that the return address was to a Yahoo account. I just went to my account and updated things. Sure seemed like someone had cooked up a fancy letter and was phishing for information.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Can receive text messages from Verizon customer, but they cannot see mine

I have a friend that sends me text messages. I get them every time. But when I reply, or send her messages, they never go through. I have the same problem with another friend on Verizon. They said Verizon told them it's an iPhone issue. I think I have the older iPhone and not the 3G or 3GS (how do I figure out what version I have?).
Need help. Thanks!

i dont know what the problem is, however i can help u figure out which iphone u have.
if ur iphones back is chrome, u have the original iphone, if ur iphone is black or white on the back u have the 3G and if u can take video by going to ur camera and sliding the slider from photo to video u have a 3GS (this one will also be black or white)

Can anyone tell me how to I get an old account information and recorded messages from a conversation

I am totaly confused by eircom and efibre.......last year I was in arrears with eircom to the tune of( as I thought) of €357.66and I was disconnected but in the long run I got a huge bill in my door of €656.48 , when I had to the money to pay the original amount, I was put through to efibre who told me that remaining amount of €298.77 shouldnt have been on my account and they would take it off I was also given a new account and phone number. I have now got several bills from my old account plus a letter from a company called BCW (debt collectors) who are treathening to take legal proceeding against me...... can anyone tell me how do I get my old account information and that conversation I had that day??

Thanks Tracey,I got a letter from the debt collectors BCW on Thursday to say if I didn't respond to that letter within 5 days they were going to take legal proceeding against me. 10 minutes from receiving the letter I got a call from BCW to say that eircom had been in touch with them to say the issue has been resolved and that I don't owe the money,I am now waiting on a letter from BCW to tell me same so as I have it in writing. So hopefully that is the end of the issue, Many thanks Confused 1

Did anyone else receive a text message from Verizon stating you need to confirm your order?

Received a message stating that you need to text YES to confirm or NO to cancel. It displayed my order number and everything, so I happily replied YES. What's weird though is that my confirmation states to "Deliver by 9/19" but the Order Status pages states "Ship by 10/14". o.O
I am confuzzled because my pre-order was completed before 3:10 AM and it coincided with what the confirmation email said. Now my only remaining question is which date is right?

That is so bogus! Are you telling me I stayed up to pre-order so I can receive it on the 19th for nothing? Regardless of what y'all needed to verify, a phone should have been placed on the side awaiting confirmation granted that I put in a pre-order early. On top of that, there is no way I should have been pushed back all the bloody way til October, thereby voiding any of my trade-in chances.
You know what's funny though, I got that stupid 10/14 date BEFORE I was sent the text message asking for verification, and a charge was already placed on my card (well more like a placeholder). Also of note, both my checkout page and confirmation email state 9/19. If you lot weren't planning on getting the phones out on Friday, why post such? If I had originally seen a 10/14 date it would've been fine and dandy, but to see one thing and told that what you see does not matter is just ridiculous! To top it all off, y'all are shipping the lower capacity phones already but those of us who want the maximum are being put through the ringer for no reason.
This is unacceptable.
