Skype blocked and no response from customer servic...

Hi all,
I'm using Skype for more than 10 years and never had to sign in ever since that was done at startup automatically.
Now 2 days ago my wife had trouble on her laptop so I logged in on her laptop as admin to sort the problem and skype popped up there (while it was already active on my PC). I've cancelled it on the laptop, sorted the problem, logged off and returned to my PC to see the sign in screen of Skupe there.
As I said, I never had to sign in for more than 10 years and so I forgot the password. After several attempts the account was blocked. Now even worse, and that one is on me, the initial email address I've onced used to create the Skype account is no longer available (for many years) and I never set a new or alternative (I think).
The only method I've found to unblock and retrive my password is the support page where you have to complete a questionnaire. I've completed it to my best knowledge although some details might have been wrong because most of those details I've simply forgot because it was just too long ago that I've wrote these initially. Upon completion the message was that I will be contacted soon (was it 24 hrs?). Anyway, I'm checking my email every day several times but no response.
I'm not blaming the support team. I do understand that they are very busy and that my partially false submission was probably filtered out and most likely never reached a person.
Now I've created a new Skype account (otherwise I could not post here) and wonder if there is any way to import my original contact list which is very important to me. I never made a backup of the contact list but all my original Skype account details are still on my PC.
Appreciate every help either on how to retrive my original account or how to get my original contacts into this new account.
Cheers Euclid

Installation Nightmare and no help from customer service

I just spent July 2, 3, 5 from 11a-6p and Saturday July 6 from 8-2 waiting for installation of my fios service in my new apartment. When i called them to let them know I was moving they insisted it was available at my new location. When the tech got there at 2 on 7/2, the wiring was not done in the apartment and they needed the help of another type of guy who works for a sub contractor. They called that tech, who said he was coming by the end of the day and he never showed up. This happened again on Wednesday and Thursday. I spent three days of my summer vacation in my house with three kids waiting for someone who had no intention of coming. I called customer service three times and finally got a supervisor on Saturday am who told me they could not tell me if that outside contractor was ever going to show up. They apologized, but thats it. I asked to cancel my service and they were shocked. I had no service anyway. So they transfer me to a relief agent, who was also sympathetic, but told me the chances of the outside contractor showing up were slim and none and that they could schedule me for the end of the following week. That would make it two weeks with no phone/internet/tv but even worse, my vacation was over. I can't even describe how upset I am about losing precious time with my three small children. They finally showed up as I was walking out the door with the three kids to go to the beach and they came walking in. I have not received any kind of help from customer service other than for them to tell me they have no control over their subcontrator. I don't know what to say other than it was a total nightmare. For what I pay for service for the past five years I expected a lot more of them

Anyone getting response from customer services?

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone had responses for customer services recently (ocss.msi.com.tw). Been trying to get latest bios for the X48C since still have post problems.
I used to have a login for bioses but that's changed. Obviously I wouldn't encourage anyone send new password..
Posted 8 days ago but still no reply. They used to reply within a day or two.
Cheers,

I made a post about 4 hours ago and received a reply just before, so yes - pretty quick too I must say.
Maybe they are investigating your request?

How to store and display Response from REST Service

Hi,
My WADL has defined the response that my REST service returns back as below :
<object name="Get_Root">
<property name="RequestId" type="number" />
<property name="Name" type="string" />
<property name="fromPlace" type="string" />
<property name="toPlace" type="string" />
<property name="fromDate" type="string" />
<property name="toDate" type="string" />
</object>
I want to store this response; response is a single entry of the above type and not a collection (I am making the request on a button click) and then display it on the screen in multiple labels.
How can I do this? Will I have to use a collection and a gallery, even though I have a single response?
Thanks,
Pragya

Okay.. got it. So MyRestData has a Get function taking some n arguments and it responds back with an object of the type I had mentioned before.
From what I understood, I have to write the below code for each label
MyRestData!Get(.....)!Name
MyRestData!Get(.....)!fromPlace
MyRestData!Get(.....)!toPlace ...and so on
Wouldn't that translate to different REST calls? Is there a way to get and store the entire response object
in the app and access each of its properties/subelements locally?
Also when you wrote the below before
Text: "The name is: " & MyRestData!Get_Root!Name
it seems that I can access the response object Get_Root using MyRestData. This is not the case for me. MyRestData only lets me access the Get function using "!", and not the response object in any way.
Thanks for your help!

While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get to the chat. Please advise!!!!

MoeGhazal I reviewed your account and it looks like you have have upgraded from a CS4 volume license for Design Premium to a retail upgrade of Design Premium 5.5.
I also show that you made two purchases of CS5.5 Design Premium but the second purchase was canceled. Please make sure you are utilizing the serial number which ends in 7886.
If you are using the correct serial number then it is likely the installer will not recognize your volume license CS4 serial number as being valid for an upgrade. If you can contact our support team then you can be walked through an unlocking procedure to allow you to proceed with the installation. You can contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care. You may want to try installing a web browser you have not previously utilized. It is likely a toolbar or some other software application is affecting your ability to access chat support successfully.
If you are still unable to reach our support team then please verify the information under your account is accurate. If you can please then update this discussion after confirming this then I can request a member of our support team contact you directly.
Again I would recommend reaching out directly if possible as it will be the most efficient method of resolving your current error.

What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?

Hi,
I am trying to build following functionality.
I want to submit form to a web service through SOAP request on click of a button.
I want to display response of web service like “form has been submitted successfully” on screen.
What has been achieved.
I am able to submit form to an adobe web service passing base64 string to adobe process.(see the script in image#1).
When I receive base64 string in adobe process, I am able to re-generate document (using getDocFromBase64(/process_data/@inputStr) ).
After that I am returning a message string to as response “Form submitted successfully”.
When I get the response I populate response to a text field variable (Out Str). See image#2
Problem/Desirable functionality.
I want to close this eform and display the message “form has been submitted successfully” on another page in browser so that it depicts to end user that form has been submitted successfully with confirmation.
What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?
Image#1
Image#2

Method1: This method only works in same PDF window.
On the click of the submit button, based on the webservice result we can close the PDF. As you already having in the "Out Str", this variable having detailed message kind of thing, so it would be easier if you have one more output variable to know if this submission is success or failure or can use the "Out Str", it self to compare and close the PDF.
Here i am using "strResult" to hold webservice success or failure using true/ false values.
Get the "strResult" value from binded field of webservice response and compare and close or display messages based on requirement.
var strResult = YourFieldname.rawValue;
                    if(strResult != "" && strResult != null){
                              if(strResult.toUpperCase() == "TRUE"){
                                        xfa.host.messageBox("Successfully Saved the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
                                        //Close the PDF
                                        app.execMenuItem("Close");
                    else{
                              xfa.host.messageBox("Failed to Save the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
If the result need to show in separate window and having LiveCycle process connected to PDF via. webservice or REST:
Method2. If the PDF inside the browser
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in same window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Type2 - You can set the process output is string variable, this STRING may contain your static/dynamic message. In this method the string will be appered in the same PDF window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Method3. If the PDF is stand alone (not opend in any browser)
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in new window, host pdf will be also stayed and may make readonly after submission success.
Type2 - If the process output is string, it cannot handle this situation, may get the content type exception while receiving the result string, because.
Used all of the above methods in various situations and it worked without any issues.

Account Hacked and No Response From SKYPE

My account has been hacked as of yesterday morning. Received the emails indicating that my password and primary email address are changed, and Skype will not allow me to change these; everytime I try to change email or password, it relates it back to my microsoft account, not Skype. In 24 hrs I have tried to reach customer service three times, with no response. I appreciate that there is a "within 72 hrs" clause, but why can I not at least get this account closed/ blocked/ suspended while you wait. This screams of poor customer service as well as a very laissez-faire approach to my security. Please help!

Disgust and Exasperation with BT "Customer Service...

I am posting this here as really a final attempt to see if anything helpful will actually be done by BT, but I think also as more of a warning to others, as I truly have ben a “victim” of their so called customer service.
To make clear, I don’t really use my landline, the only reason that I even have a landline is for my broadband which I get from another supplier, as I need this for work, it is rather essential, so when there is a problem with the line it causes me great stress as it threatens my ability to work and make money and pay bills etc. Generally the only time I use the phone is if I have to call a free phone number or a number which is chargeable from a mobile.
Over a year ago now, back in July 2011, I had just finished dealing with someone from BT’s head office as I had been forced to go there due to surprise surprise BT not adequately dealing with a complaint, that time due to charges on my bill for calls I hadn’t made. The man I was speaking to, fixed all the problem, re-set up my quarterly direct debits and said if there were ever any issues again to come straight back to him.
Cut to the end of August this year. I happened to pick up the phone to try and call a free phone number when I discovered that the phone could not make outgoing calls. At this point I have had NO communication with BT of ANY kind, calls, emails, texts or letters. Since dealing with their head office the previous year. When I eventually get through to someone, Im informed that the line has been restricted due to non payment of the bill. I asked if there has been a problem with the most recent payment or has a payment bounced and I am informed that in fact BT haven’t taken a payment in a year!!!!! I ask how this is possible, and also how has no one from BT got in contact with me about it, I mean they are supposed to be a Communications company, yet they seem to be severely lacking in communication, as the only reason I knew there was a problem was that I happened to pick up my phone. After speaking to around 3 different people in one of BT’s non English as a first language speaking call centres, various promises of a callback which funnily enough never happened, and god knows how much cost on my mobile phone bill, I finally managed to speak to a manager to try and figure out what had happened and how we could get this fixed.
I was told by the Manager that they honestly had no idea how firstly they weren’t taking direct debit payments, and secondly how this could have been allowed to run for a year without BT really contacting me about it or even taking any action like restricting the line after the first time they didn’t take a direct debit. I was informed that the balance of the account was over £400. I made the point and the manager agreed that asking a customer to make that kind of payment in one go with no warning, particularly in these circumstances was unacceptable and a solution had to be reached. I said I was happy to pay it off in installments or work something out that way, and the manager also said they would need to check as perhaps some of the bill may have even been supposed to be covered as compensation for part of the previous complaint and due to an oversight may have caused the rest of the year to go untouched, as otherwise she wasn’t really sure how this could have occurred. The Manger then told me that she was going to go away and thoroughly investigate this and speak to the person who had originally set up my direct debit to see if there was any issue there. She told me that she would be looking into this and would then come back to me with the answers to how this happened and also a solution to paying it off. Also while she was looking into this she would restore my line fully, as this was obviously a larger problem at BT’s end. This seemed to be a fair agreement and I told her I looked forward to hearing back from them when they had it sorted out and we could get this cleared up. How foolish I was.
Cut to the end of last month, I had family members in New York and New Jersey on holiday at the time of the hurricane hitting there. One night I picked up the phone to try and get in touch with them to make sure they were okay and I discovered that once again my line had been restricted for outgoing calls. To be clear here, the last time I had any contact with BT was when speaking to the manager at the end of August as described above. As you can imagine, having my line suddenly restricted and considering the circumstances I was particularly angry. I called in the next day, and despite asking what was going on and what had happened to the investigation into my account, instead all I got was a wall of “The account has been restricted due to non payment”. I would respond, yes I get that, but BT were supposed to be resolving the matter and coming back to me with a way to pay off the balance. Again the only response I would be given was “The account has been restricted due to non payment”. No other information, just that statement. I asked to speak to a manager and was promised a callback from one. It never materialized. I called back in gain, asking for someone to call me about this as I wanted to get it resolved, was promised one but again never received one.
Then last Monday, the 12th of November, I finally called in AGAIN at my expense, and spoke to someone who actually seemed to understand the term “Customer Service”. She took the time to look at the notes, saw that I was supposed to have been called about this but that no one had, and that in fact no one had even bothered to look into my account or even do anything with it. In fact I believe I was told that no one had even accessed my account since the last time I spoke with BT, back in August. I asked her if it should really be this hard for me to set up some sort of payment plan, I mean Im asking a company to let me give them money but they don’t seem to be interested. She apologized and said that she was going to personally pass this to her manager, that she would fully investigate the matter, sort it out and come back to me with the solution so we could resolve the matter and put it to bed. She gave me her word that her manager would be calling me within 48 hours. And guess what? That’s right, I never received any call whatsoever.
So Wednesday this week, 2 days ago, I call back into BT, to ask why this manager hasn’t called me back as promised and what exactly is going on. At this point I get more of the stonewall “The account has been restricted due to non payment”. However also at this point get told that my line is going to be terminated fully this coming Saturday. Again I will point out that no one from BT had communicated this to me in any way, no warning, no letter, text, email or call, from this global telecommunications company. However I am then informed that someone had called and spoke to me the previous Saturday, had given me this information and I had “agreed” with it. I informed the agent that this hadn’t happened, no one from BT had spoke to me on Saturday, and certainly not at the time of 11:30am as it was noted on my account, as I had been out the previous night and had only got in at 8am Saturday morning and went straight to sleep. This didn’t seem to bother them or they just didn’t care as now all that I could get from anyone was “The account has been restricted due to non payment and we are cancelling it on Saturday”. No offer of sorting out to get it paid, no explanation as to what had gone on or why no one had done anything, just a set response that felt like I was talking to a computer with only one programmed response. I was also informed that my account had now been ring-fenced by a particular department and only they would deal with it and they had no interest in my complaints or issues, they only cared about the bill in full and if not paid then it would be cut of Friday. I pointed out that I had not been given any notification of their action of any kind. The response verbatim I was given was,
“We don’t have to inform you if we are going to restrict or cancel your account, we can just do it”
Also they didn’t seem to care about the fact that someone in their company had blatantly lied and put information on my account saying they had spoke to me about this to inform me of it and I had agreed with it!!!!!! So fraudulent activity by BT and they don’t even seem to care. I asked for the details of the person who had left this note as I wished to complain, but was simply brushed a way with
“Oh we wont give that to you, we will just take care of it internally, you don’t need to worry about it”
I don’t need to worry about false information being put on my account???? I think BT doesn’t really have an understanding of what concerns the average customer, as someone falsifying information on their account is kind of a HUGE deal. At this point I had tried several times by phone and email to contact the person who had dealt with my account last year and had set up the supposed direct debit but surprise surprise, they never responded to one of my attempts, not even a polite message to say they had received it or that someone else might be dealing with it, nothing, not a peep.
At the end of the day with my head ready to explode I finally managed to get a number for a manager in BT’s head office. I called their office line and got to speak to them. I explained the above and they were very sympathetic and apologized, and agreed that the way it had been handled was wrong, and asking someone to pay £400+ without any notification and also when they had previously told me they would be sorting out a payment plan was unacceptable. He then told me he would be passing my information to an executive level complaints operative and that they would call me back the very next day to discuss the problem and get it resolved. Again I pointed out that I didn’t think it would be this much hassle for a person who is trying to set up payments to get it sorted. I then left this call, feeling a lot better as it seemed I was finally going to get this sorted.
However, the next day not only did I not receive a call, but instead I got an email from the person who the matter had been passed to, which simply said, ‘We haven’t had a payment in a year, the direct debits haven’t been taken, we have now sent you duplicate bills so you have a copy of them and you have been informed that the account will cease on Saturday (conveniently leaving out the fact that I was only informed of this the day previously). That was it. I called and left 2 voicemails and responded by email saying that could she please call me as her email has not in any way dealt with any of my issues or even tried to resolve this, and being as one of my biggest issues was that for 3 months I have been constantly calling BT and not one person has been bothered to call me, and the response to my speaking tp a manager at BT’s head office was for her to send me an email that as far as she was concerned I might not even get due to current restrictions on the line. I never received any call from her that day.
That evening I managed to get back in touch with the person from the head office I had spoken to the previous day. I expressed my exasperation that with a major issue where one of the main problems is BT’s seeming inability to call me back when promised, the person who as supposed to be looking into this hadn’t even bothered to call me to find out the issues and what the complaint details were!!!!! I was again promised that he would get her to call me first thing Friday. She did, I spoke with her about an hour ago, and from the fact that I have felt compelled to write this should tell you exactly how helpful she was.
When I answered the phone, the first thing she said to me was, “The only reason for this call is merely a courtesy, it doesn’t matter what you say or what has happened it will not effect the decision to terminate your line tomorrow” If that doesn’t just sum up the entire BT experience for the average customer Im not sure what could. Not only that but she claimed that BT had tried to contact me numerous times in regards to this yet mysteriously could not provide me with a single precise date of any of these supposed communications. I was called a “liar” as she said that I must have noticed that the quarterly direct debits hadn’t come out. This is despite the fact that the entire point of a direct debit is that you don’t have to check it, it just pays it, its how I pay my rent, gas, electricity, broadband, mobile phone and I assumed my phone line. Also if there has ever been an issue, the company involved is usually very quick and good about getting in touch, as its money you owe them/ Not BT though it seems. I said that all I’ve been wanting to do for the last 3 months is get something set up to pay this off. However I’m told that they wont do that that they NEVER allow payment plans (a blatant lie)and that even though I’ve only had 2 days notice and even then nothing in writing, they don’t have to inform me anyway, they can just do what they want.
I tried to point out the effect this would have, I even made it clear that I was perfectly happy that while I was making payments to clear the debt that they could keep the line restricted, but at least still active as otherwise I cant work, I cant make money, I cant pay my rent, I lose my flat, I cant afford to buy food and in essence it royally messes up my life. The response was that they didn’t care and unless the full amount is paid then tough.
However the most disgusting, Blatant and downright underhanded moment (and bear in mind at this point Ive been openly called a liar) came, when I brought up the fact that there is false information on my account, that someone had lied and put fraudulent information on my account. Her response, and I still have trouble accepting this was
“Well I don’t think one of our agents would do that, so Im not even going to look into it”.
Despite the fact that she could confirm that there was no call in under 5 minutes she refused to check it. I asked her to go get the call recording as there wouldn’t be one, and if she wasn’t going to help with my account at least please fix this, someone in BT has put false info on my account and you can check this yourself, it will take you no time, just confirm it. She however again refused to even look into it as she didn’t “THINK” that someone would do that. She also refused to go and listen to or check the calls I had back in August with the manager who had promised to sort out a payment plan and investigate, she refused to check or listen to the call from last Monday where an agent had confirmed that the previous manager was supposed to have done this but hadn’t done anything with it. She refused to do anything in any way that might mean she would have to change the position she had come on the phone to me with and had made clear she didn’t want to change. So in essence this person who is supposed to be trained in customer service and conplaint resolution, didn’t even bother her backside to speak to the customer making a complaint to find out the issues, just decided to check a few notes, not pay any real attention and sho a complete lack of respect to me. I mean she openly accused me of being a liar on the call and in the same breath refused to go and check if one of BT’s agents had lied themselves about calling me and me “agreeing” to all this. Funny, I was sure one of BT’s slogans was “Its good to talk”
So here I am, Im told my account will be terminated tomorrow and it seems that no one at BT cares, or even wants to solve the problem. Also they don’t care that this is going to have a massive effect on me and my life, without my internet access I cant work, and if I cant do that then I lose my livelihood, my home, the food on my plate and everything I have. Oh and look, just in time for Christmas. I have been asking for 3 months to get this paid off in a sensible way and for 3 months I have been assured they would take care of it, then fobbed off nad forgotten about. And now BT have made it abundantly clear that they really have no interest or concern for their customers in any way.
I write this in the vain hope that someone might be able to help me here, however being as there is less than 12 hours till Saturday I doubt it. I think to be honest its more so that other people are aware of just how shockingly bad BT’s service really is, and that watch yourselves and not only will they lie, abuse, insult and cause you great trauma, but that they will also refuse to accept any responsibility for their words, their action, their promises, and especially their mistakes and faults, as as far as they are concerned they don’t make any, and wont even look into seeing if they have. Truly a company that doesn’t care

Its quarterly billing, and on direct debit, so the whole point there is it takes care of itself.
It aso didnt hurt that as I said, I had no communication from BT in that year, no calls, emails, texts, letters nothing. They sent me no letter to say that there had been a missed payment, they took no action due to this, still something at this point that no one has been able to explain how that happened. Also the direct debit was set up by someon from their executive level complaints deaprtment, so you would think it would work ok. But apparantly 3 months later they didnt take a payment, and kept not taking payments or getting in touch with me about it, they just did notning. Then after a year, again without any warning or notification restricted my line, which as it turnds out was an automatic process, no one had any clue about what had been going on. Hence why the first manager I spoke to about it said she was going to have to investigate how this happened and obviously work out a repaymnt package. Though as par for the course from that point on I never received a callback from BT at any point, I called them often enough, but they never could be bothered it seemed to get back in touch.
Also my bills arent exaclty large, as I say the only reason I even have a landline is for my internet access for work so its not as if its a huge amount and its every 3 months so not something really on your radar. Again thats the point of DD and what you assume is a professional and capapble company.

How do I correct bill without getting a reply from customer service or the community forum?

Hello,
I have communicate with lasinah_vzw and jonathan_vzw on the forum and by direct message. I have send documentation of my bills and terminated my account. I now see an older charge that was credited to my account reapplied. There has been no response to all the direct messages or forum comments I have tried to post.
I have not received a reply from you regarding the charge of $93.57 in my account. I had a credit balance of $11.92 on my Nov. 16th bill after crediting my account for a 2-day reconnection at the end of my account suspension. I was unable to contact anyone to re-suspend or end my account. In January I finally got through to Sharon who terminated my account and credited my account for my December and January charges upto termination. Now I see a charge from prior to my November 16th bill that has been re-added to my account. In addition I am getting a notice that my bill is being sent to a collection agency.
If I send all my documentation to you to adjust my bill, get no reply or acknowledgement of receipt or a response as to it's status why is this bill going to a collection agency?
Why has Verizon turned into a bully?
If I do not receive a reply to my earlier attempts to correct my billing I intend to submit all my documentation to the Better Business Bureau.
Thanks... for teaching me a lesson about Verizon "customer" support... UVN

@UVN ".....Sharon who terminated my account and credited my account for my December and January charges upto termination. Now I see a charge from prior to my November 16th bill that has been re-added to my account...."
You are not alone....Promises by Verizon Customer Service don't mean anything anymore.
I successfully suspended a "JetPack Device" WITHOUT BILLING...even got a message on the web site saying I was successful.
Supervisor said "I will suspend without billing during dispute" THEN I WAS BILLED anyway.
This resulted in re-connection fees.
Again, Supervisor said "I will waive Re-Connection fees"....BILLED AGAIN resulting in more fees.
Executive Offices say the supervisors have the training and authority to make decisions..so what happened??
Executive offices also refuse to honor what you are told on the phone.
I am still trying to find an answer to a simple question.
If The VZW web Site allows me to suspend a device and actually pop up a message that I "successfully suspended it WITHOUT billing" How can they refuse to honor it?
OH, It's in the FAQ's and your original contract...So, why does the web site allow it to be accomplished?
There should be a pop-up saying..."THIS ACTION CANNOT BE COMPLETED"
YOU ARE NOT ALONE UVN

Incomplete Gift Certificate and no response from the Apple Store

On Dec. 22nd I purchased a gift certificate through iTunes for my sister. She received an email telling her how to redeem the card, it came without a redemption code and instead of my name she got [?]. The message said:
"You have received an iTunes Gift Certificate in the amount of $15.00 from [?]. To redeem your gift click the Redeem Now link above. Once you verify your account, $15.00 will be credited to your account, so you can start buying music right away."
She cannot redeem it. She clicks on the link provided at it asks for the redemption code which isn't there. My sister has contacted the help desk and they have been less than helpful repeatedly and is at wits end.
My credit card was billed for it on the 26th, however, my purchase history has no record of the transaction, so PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO RESEND THE GIFT RECEIPT AS I CANNOT.
I've sent an email message using the form at the bottom of the appropriate help screen a few days ago and still haven't received a response and there isn't any phone number to call.
Do I have any other choice than to contest this charge with my credit card company or file a small claims suit?
Thanks

You can try calling 1-800-275-2273 and asking to speak to Customer Relations.
But it may be just that the iTunes Store customer service group is backed up with all the post-holiday issues (like yours) and will get back to you as soon as they can get to you. It often takes any company a while to dig out from the post-holiday rush of questions. It's only been barely two days (you contacted them on the 3rd) since you emailed them, and the form you used says that they'll try to respond within 72 hours (three days) under normal circumstances, which post-holiday times most definitely are not.
So have a bit of patience before you let fly with lawsuit threats; Apple's not trying to rip you off, they're just probably swamped. If you haven't heard anything by, say, Monday, try sending another message using the same form. Then you if still don't get a response toward the end of the week try Apple Customer Relations. But if you call them now, I'm sure they'll just say that you need to wait.

Difficulty and quality of your Customer Service

Probem that cause me to call customer service: Fios Box Completely Dead ( was burnt out power source)
Around 2pm on Wednesday 4/30/2014, after enduring much difficulty to speak to a live person, because the automated system hung up on me twice, because I was unable to supply either my account number or last bill amount paid(rather difficult without internet access considering I'm paperless) I was told that a Technician would come to my home the next day at 8pm (yes a 30 hour plus wait).
Well it's 9 pm on May 1st and no one has come yet. At the time of setting up the appointment, I was asked if I would like a phone call, email or text message confirming when the technician was on his way . I opted for the text message ( dah I thought to myself how can I receive a phone call or email without internet or phone service) . Apparently Verizon proceeded to cancel my Service Call stating that I had replied to their text message saying I no longer needed their service. I did not receive a text message from Verizon, which I was informed required a response of either yes or no if my service issues were resolved. I must presume at this point that one of 3 things occurred:
1) Technician purposely cancelled the Service Call ( was late at night)
2) A flaw in the automatic text system in place (yea right)
3) Call was purposely canceled by support dispatch because of high volume and not wanting to have to pay overtime. (Apparently the storm that cause my issues wrecked havoc on many customers)
So once again I ventured into the difficult journey of speaking to a live customer service representative. After once again being hung up on by the automated system (same reasons as before) I was able to speak to alive person at around 9:30 pm ( started the phone trek at about 9:15pm) well to make a long story short after being put on hold multiple times and also being told it was too late to send some out that evening, I demanded to speak to a manager another wait( it is now about 10:30) The manager to whom I spoke to ( Please Verizon at least Employees that are understandable when they speak, his English was very hard to comprehend) told me the same that it was too late, I demanded someone come ASAP, considering I had change my plans to go out with the family that evening. The manager told me let me see what I can do and put me on hold (no music). I remained on hold for another 20 minutes or so until I realized my called was dropped ( how convenient) Once again Phone Trek I finally spook to a nice person that tells me she would set up an appointment as early as possible the next day (Tech came at 12pm, job took him all of 15 mins). So If I don't call again they would have never come.
Things that bothered me are many as you can imagine. The thing that bothered me the most is that manager once the call was dropped, knowing the difficultly a customer has to contact them and having all my information should have called me back, but he didn't. I worked for 20 years as a Walgreens drugstore manager, and I made many phone calls to customer that had issues or made complaints. Customer Service for me was always top priority. I must presume that for Verizon customer service is not their top priority considering how I was treated.
Am I entitled to a refund of 2 days of service not rendered becasue of your equipment failure?
(apparently the power unit has been upgraded because prone to failure)

Hello Engage1955
You'll need to contact the billing dept. to make a request for a refund.

Static lines problem and bad response from Apple employee

I first saw the static lines in my iphone5's keyboard and then again while opening a folder. It was only after 3 days from my purchase. The very next day I went to the Apple store of Shibuya (JAPAN) with my Japanese friend and talked the problem with Apple's employee but the response was really cold(rude, not like that of Apple store employee) Without listening to the whole thing he asked us to consult with Apple's technician in 2nd floor if we have any hardware issues and then leaved us without a single more word. It felt like an insult and then we returned back home with some bad images of Apple's employee in our mind. That was not our first visit there but definitely was first to get such a rude response.
Today once again I saw the same problem in my iPhone5. I am not sure if they will take my problem seriously or not if I visit there again. There in Silicon valley, Tim cook talks about the best customer experience in Apple store, but here in Japan we had a worst customer experience.
Tim, better provide normal customer service first than only talking about best customer experience.

ok... just an FYI, this is a user to user forum... therefore no one from Apple will ever see your complaint. You can file your complaint at www.apple.com/feedback. In the situation with your phone, you can also contact your carrier and see if they will swap the device for you. In the USA I have Sprint, and had a similar issue when the 4S was released. Apple claimed they had no fix for it. Then I went to Sprint, and they swapped the phone for me and the issue was resolved. I haven't read anything about this issue with the 5 though.

Store rep signed me up under the wrong plan and no one in customer service has fixed it in over a month

I was bait and switched. I signed up under the pretense that I was getting the promotional rate of 40gb/$150 that was scheduled to end on November 5 2014.
I walked into a Verizon wireless store on November 4th with the intent to trade in my iPhone 5s which I was offered $350 trade in value and port over 2 of my lines with T-Mobile under the Verizon promotion. Once I was approved and offered my trade in I was told that the phones I was seeking to purchase from Verizon was not in stock and needed to be ordered, and delivered separately with the iPhone 6 being shipped out November 14 and the iPhone 6+ shipped November 21. Thomas, the Verizon wireless sales representative, also informed me that for me to get the promotional rate I would have to open the account with an active line before the 5th or I wouldn't be able to get the promotional rate since the phones would be delivered past the promotional date period. The sales representative insisted I should add an iPad that was in stock at the store and I could leave the store with an active account and once my phones were delivered I would be all set to go with my promotional plan and devices. I had no need for an iPad but decided it was worth getting for the sake of the promotion.
ON November 14 I recieved via FedEx a package containing not a iPhone 6 as promised, but a iPhone 6+. I called Verizon to activate the phone that was ported to my personal phone number, and didn't have my iPhone 6 that was set to port my out of state business line and cancel service with T-Mobile on the 14th of November. To say the least I was extremely upset for which I had no means of recieving business calls from North Carolina while I live in Florida. At that point I asked the Verizon customer care representative I had on the phone to see if they could see if there was a store that had the iphone 6 I ordered in stock so that I an could have a business phone the same day. He found a store that had it in stock and it happened to be the store I originally signed up at. I was told that it was in the color and storage capacity I had originally ordered and that I could pick it up at the store to complete my purchase with Verizon. Again, for the sake of having a business line I ran to the store and spoke with Thomas and explained the mix up. upon moving forward I was informed that they had an iPhone 6 in stock with the capacity I had requested but not the same color I had ordered. At that point I didn't care I just needed a phone and proceeded to activate the phone he had in stock And ported over my business line.
After recieving a text from Verizon that I had consumed all of my data just days after I recieved my phones I called Verizon 611 from my phone and spoke to a customer care representative named Fallon, which informed me I was set up on the wrong plan and that she see's the notes that Thomas notated that I was subscribing for a 40gb plan and that she was going to send a request I D # [removed] form to make the corrections and that there was no need for me to cancel service as I was within my cancelation period, again she insisted that there was no need to cancel and that the request would be granted and she would be calling me once my billing cycle reset and the corrections were made and she would credit my account based on the promotional rate. I NEVER RECIEVED A CALL FROM FALLON! Not even to be notified that the request was denied! I came to realize later in December when I recieved a $1200 bill that this wasn't resolved. I called customer service again and spoke with a gentleman that explained the request was denied and that this will be resolved after I explained what transpired. He assured me that he was going to expedite another request and he would be in contact with me within a few hours....... I'm still waiting for his call as well!
I called again several times in the past few days and have spoken to several supervisors that promised to resolve this matter and call me back promptly........ Again, no one has called me back!
December the 8th I spoke with a supervisor named Victoria which assured me she would get this resolved within the next 24 hours and gave me her direct number to reach her if I didn't hear from her [removed], again I haven't heard from her yet and I've made several attempts to reach her at her direct line to no avail.
December the 9th I spoke with supervisor named Mike employee #[removed] in the Seattle call center, he appoligized for the mix up and that no one has called me back and that he would handle this matter and get back to me today December 10th....... Again no call..... I have spoken to 3 people today all which have made promises to call me back today within a few hours and none that have. I just got off the phone with a supervisor named Vanessa Jentfield at the Chicago call center and saw all the notations and assured me that there is no reason why this shouldn't be corrected and that she would be calling me back tonight or tomorrow. I will be sitting by the phone unless Verizon wireless decides to disconnect my service for non payment of $1200+.........
I have filed a complaint giving a detailed explanation of what has transpired with the FCC as well as the FTC, my next step is to file a small claims lawsuit tomorrow morning with the state of Florida and see if Verizon finds a way to contact me then,I guess I will just have to wait and see.

It was a good idea to file a complaint with the FCC, someone from Verizon will contact you by phone in an effort to resolve your issue. I wouldn't suggest small claims court as they have not done anything illegal, (just bad customer service) and their contract with you is usually upheld, which in this case is not for the plan you want. The person contacting you likely has a little more pull, as the call centers can only uphold the written customer agreement made.

Skype blocked and no response from customer servic...
