Sept. 10 - No Phone Service still reported Aug 30 Medical Emergency

My parents are in their 90's and Mom is blind.
We reported their outage on 8/30.  It was marked a Medical Emergency and were promised that the repair would be highest priority  - what a joke!!!!   We were told and texted that the repair would happen - on the 7th, on the 8th, on the 9th.  No repair took place.  Now on the 10th are told a cable is out.  Verizon has terrible customer service!!!!!  I have been on hold over 20 minutes every time I've called- up to 50 minutes before a person answered.  Unfortunately, the person has never been able to solve the problem of no service.  Sometimes I hold and then get the response of "no answer, your call is being disconnected", sometimes I get the response of "from now on you'll be able to speak your answers" and then a dial tone.  Right now I'm waiting for a supervisor to call me back - was told within an hour - we'll see.   Last time they never called me back.  They keep texting me early in the day that their repair will be done that day by late in the day and then nothing.    Very sad that Verizon has left them for almost 2 weeks without service.  Also, what a waste of my time since I spend at least 45 minutes a day trying to get an update.
 Mom did report that they got their bill from Verizon last week right on schedule!!!!!

  • How do I contact Tech Support to report an outage with no phone service?

  • If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it !

    If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T.  When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.

    If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
    If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected?

  • If phone service is disconnected can the iphone still connect to internet through wifi?

    If I close my phone account with a particular phone service because I no longer need my personal phone, will my Iphone still work like an ipod in that it can still get to the internet through WIFI?  Or general what functions will the piece of equipment still have?  For example, will apps still work?

    Hey there
    you do not net a sim card to use the iphone all you need the sim for is for activation.
    I must state you do not need a sim to use your wifi

  • I'm having trouble setting up my new 5s. it won't connect to phone service and my old phone is still getting all my messages

    i'm having trouble setting up my new 5s. it won't connect to phone service and my old phone is still getting all my messages

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
    the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
    It does not use SD cards.
    Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
    Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
    But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.

  • After connecting Ooma phone service, my airport still works fine but yellow light constantly flashes. Should I be concerned?

    After connecting Ooma phone service, my airport works fine, but it constantly blinks yellow. Should I be concerned?

    You will get error messages in the airport utility..
    Please go to the utility and click on the red circle on the airport. It should have a number in it.. which will be the number of issues you have.. eg double NAT.
    If you previously had the Airport setup as main NAT in the network.. the ooma device just took over.. so you need to redo the setup of the airport to have a subsidiary role.
    If you don't understand  the issues list them for us.. but certainly adding the ooma is not going to go without effect.

  • No phone service, etc,+++

    We have not had phone service since the storm.  One TV can only be used with the + button on the remote (No program Name) another TV has no sound at times and other times the show is in another language.  We experienced no TV, internet and phone service last month for two weekends up until Wednesday.  I was not pleased with the customer service then.  When we tried  to call on a cell phone we got no answer or was put on hold for a long period of time.  We had to get someone else to report our problem for us.   Here we are again this time no phone since Saturday,  etc. I tried to contact Verizon online but no luck.   It is very very very frustrating!!!!! 

    We sent you a message on our private support board to assist you  and we did not receive a response.  Please repost the issue if you are still experiencing a problem so that we may assist you.  Tonya C.

  • No phone service from April 2 to April 14?

    Could someone from Verizon please email me?  I have emailed a message along with my repair requests and am getting the standard reply back.  I reported no service a few weeks ago, the tech laid a temporary line (at least I think it was supposed to be temporary) on the ground for a fast repair (?)  The line was broken on the evening of April 2 when there was a fire at a nearby house.  The firetrucks ran over the line I think and destroyed it.   I have had no phone service since that evening and was out of town all last week for medical reason and could not receive my messages.   I need my phone for medical reasons right now and have no service!! I can not make or receive calls and have not been able to since April 2 and for more than a week in March.  Twice I reported Verizon to the FCC last year.  I recieved a letter from {edited for privacy} of the Verizon Executive Relations Team in September of 2014, informing me that my complaint had been closed out.   It was not and I wrote {edited for privacy} and the FCC a letter saying so.  I have heard nothing back from Verizon on this matter and am extremely dissatsfied with Verizon.  I live in a rural area and am wondering if it is not economicably favorable for Verizon to take care of their customers here?  My neighbors and I certainly do not get realiable service from Verizon, yet we pay our bill!!

  • No phone service for more than six weeks !!! Portl...

    My phone edited by mod stopped working on the evening of Feb. 24th. I reported the problem the next morning and was told that it would be fixed within three days. The problem turned out to be at the local exchange and new cabling was required to resolve the problem. This required local traffic control which was scheduled to be in place on March 10th. March 10th came and went and I was told that the engineers installing the cable were not updating the engineers who were supposed to configure the phone service once the new cable was in place. At no point was I given an estimate of when I might expect my service might be restored. I finally got an update on March 27th which said the traffic control would be in place on March 31st to install the required cabling. A further update said my phone should be working on April 2nd. On April 6th with my phone still not working I received an update saying that the engineers who going to install the cabling required traffic lights which weren't available until this coming Saturday, April 11th. Now I'm hoping against hope that the cabling might be installed this Saturday and I might receive an update of when I can expect my phone to be working again. Then I can hope that that update might actually be acurate and I might actually have phone service. I really have a hard time seeing why in over six weeks time no one at BT can give me an accurate estimate of when my phone service can be restored. I have no luck at all getting any useful information by calling BT on the usual line (0800 800 151) since all I'm told is that my problem will be updated soon. Any help or actual, useful information would be very much appreciated. Failing that, I guess I have to wait until week 8 of no service and try my luck with the communications ombudsman. 

    Once the Forum Mods have read your post they will post an invite here, once you reply to them they will take personal ownership of the problem until resolved.

  • No phone service

     I am a customer who receives your internet for 34.99 and lifeline landline service. 
     I chose lifeline service for the landline rather than my lifeline cell as I was told I can only have 1 according to the Govt.regulations. I was also told I had to have the land line to keep your internet on.  So I chose to have the landline than the safe link govt. issued cell phone.
    Did you know your competitors do not need a land line to access the internet so I’m wondering if this is true or needed.
    Now here is my frustrating issue,for a while I have been having very bad interrupted internet load and speed for the last few months.  Been told to just shut off and on and I had someone come to my house on one occasion last month who left for 3 hours and I had to call Verizon to find the worker and dispatch. They located him and her so I  got a call back from them and  finally was told to just plug my internet back on, and that was it. It worked for a little while. Then off and on again.
     But since the 14th of July to my knowledge I have had no PHONE service now. NONE. No One can reach me either.  I honestly find this unnaceptable, Verizon.  I pay my bills on time and would like to just get answers and some service . I have been patient up to this point . I am also a customer who does not mind to pay more if it mean more better service.
    I have made numerous calls ,been disconnected after long wait times,  bounced from one person to another ,a number of times people came to my house and my building to fix the problem.
    On a number of times I have dealt with inconsistencies like dates made when they actually come a day EARLY when I am not there. I also have made appointments and also been told they don’t need to come to my house anymore so when I am not there they come another day and say an excuse that I wasn’t home when I was told I didn’t need to be since the issue is not in my house and told it is supposedly in 1 of the boxes downstairs.
      I have had other situations where someone comes out to the building downstairs a number of times and says they fixed it and I go home to make a call and the phone goes dead and the problem starts all over again.
    The last time someone came out Tuesday the 29th of July (and I was sure to be home that Monday also in case they came a day before as they are known to do so) ; they told me that no none is downstairs to open the door to another box my building super seems to be in charge of and needs a key.
     Shouldn’t Verizon keep such keys ???
     Now I nor anyone can reach the building super so that leaves me still with no service as a women approaching elderly age of 60 years.I have no home phone in case of emergencies and my internet wifi not working properly and overages on my cell phone piling up  when I use the internet  on my cell and they are restricting data due to over the limit. What am I to do now with you guys??
    I WAS told by your company I need this phone line to keep my( slow) internet on.  I get only2 mbps in my area and still cant get Fios in my building where there are people in my block who I was told have already .
    I have spoken to your competitor Time Warner and they say they don’t even need to get in a box and they do everything through a modem if this is true I might need to go to another company.
    I feel like Verizon is like the old ages.Why? Is there not anything your company can do to progress this situation at this point? I thought you guys where the leading company. I will try other means of getting this complaint out if you guys do not handle this or if I am contacting the wrong dept here and or do not get a reply ( not an automated or outourced either please.)
    Please direct me to who can as I will keep looking.  The better buisness bureau fcc news can be somewhere to go if you guys cant honestly help me in which i really hope you can. I also know that if it was you guys going through all this runaround you would be just as frustrated as i am .
    I am a dissapointed customer .

  • Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

    Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
    Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
    I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
    I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
    The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out. 

        Hello KeyGroupGJ!
    Wow, Im sorry for all the issues you have had with the Home Phone Connect service! I'd really like to assist you. You mentioned that there is no number to call to get this straightened out. No worries, there is no need to call us, since I can reach out to you. Please send me a direct message with your name, your mobile number, and a good contact number for you. I'll be happy to assist you!

  • No phone service for entire holiday weekend for senior citizen

    Phone service went out over 4th of July weekend and finally partial service on Sunday and better service on Monday, however there is static noise in the line and verizon acts like that is all right.  There are bushes in alley that have grown so large that they are pulling wires down from their sheer size. 20 years ago the alley was maintained and kept clear, times change and now I can't remember the last time the alley was cleared...if verizon don't do anything about this stretch of wires between the 2300 block of Wilder/Gerritt Streets (South Philly) they will when they fall. Just a heads up to future problems.

  • Phone service in multiple states

    I am setting up 2 branch offices in another state.  Each office is relatively small, with about 10 users in each.  I would like to know the best way to provide phone service to these users.  Each site has a VPN back to us for their data but are on their own phone system.  We would like to deploy Cisco phones to these offices that we can manage.  We use Cisco Call Manager 8.6 at our HQ.  My concerns are how to handle local calls and 911 emergency services.  Currently we have several PRIs through AT&T.  Can AT&T read the calling party number and route the call to the appropriate PSAP regardless of which state the call originates from or what path it took to get to the PSTN?  Same thing with local calls.  Will it still be a local call if it has to go through another state before it reaches the PSTN?  I've considered setting up Call Manager Express at these sites to get around these issues and I would appreciate any hardware recommendations for these sites.   

    As far as i know PRIs will not be able to route calls based on ANI and route it to the PSAP but I *think* there is a SIP service that ATT provides that does this. Else you might have to look at putting a small router with 1 or 2 analog lines just for 911 (and SRST if needed). A 2901V/K9 bundle with FXO ports should help you with this.

  • No internet or phone service for over a month

    I will try to write calmly, but I am EXTREMELY angry and frustrated with verizon support.
    Our internet and phone service have been down for over a month. We've called over and over, and they've sent technicians. The first two technicians disappeared after fiddling around with our cables. Then someone from Verizon came around and said our cables and setup was fine, but it was something wrong at the Verizon office. They said it would be fixed within 2 days.
    Then about a WEEK after that, we got angry and called Verizon support. They sent a technician 2 days later, who fiddled around. He said that it should be working within an hour and that he'd call us to see if it was working. Well 2 hours later, it still wasn't working..but Verizon sent me a call on my cellphone saying that our "problem" was cleared.Well IT WASN'T.
    And now it's been about 2 weeks since THEN and we haven't had internet or phone service. We filed another request, but it says in the Status that Verizon does not need to send a technician or something. Well WE DO NOT HAVE PHONE OR INTERNET SERVICE. And they have the NERVE to keep sending us bills.
    We are just tired of Verizon. We do not know what to do. Somebody get me a lawyer. Or some verizon support that DOESN'T have an indian accent, and can fix this **bleep** problem.
    Thank you.

    I can see why you would be angry and frustrated. I got the same Central Office story from the (otherwise very helpful) agent with an Indian name that I online chatted with yesterday, which makes that sound like a generic **bleep** response for something that's wrong with the Fios network. I've only been out for about 34 hours so far (they've said I will have service back by the evening of May 3, meaning only 4 1/2  days without service, lucky me!), but I was dumb enough to get phone, internet and TV all through Fios, so I have none of those. Fortunately I kept a Comcast internet account as backup, which is how I can access this forum.  I do have a cell phone and I can get a few TV channels over the air, but that's not why I'm paying {please keep your posts courteous}$155 a month. And it is simply insulting to call Support and get put on hold for an hour. I'm reminded of the old Lily Tomlin SNL skit where she says something along the lines of "we're the telephone company, we don't have to care". Verizon may no longer be Ma Bell, but that attitude hasn't changed.
