Texts from Verizon Every 15 Minutes While on Global Plan

Can't contact Verizon on problem with Global Plan via email? It's 3:25PM PDST and no one available via Chat. It costs $0.99/minute to call 800 # and wait on line, so I don't want to go that route. Why am I getting Verizon texts that read "VZWNMN:1" every 15 minutes since I arrived in Germany 2 days ago?

I received a text from verizon saying i made a charge with a third party vendor that would show up on by bill

I got a text from Verizon saying I made a charge with a third party vendor that will be on my verizon bill. What the heck?????

Don't be surprised. I received this same notice but verizon has almost no way for a person to find the answer easily. Plus there are several charges on my bill that are on the web page that link to the contract. The links go no where! !
If they are going to charge something they need to find a way for people to know what is being charged.
An Iphone6 was upgraded on October 6 under the Edge program. The charge was added almost immediately and appeared on the October 12 billing cycle. The older phone was returned to them under the Verizon Edge plan and it was received by verizon on the 13th of October. That credit has still not been applied to our account. It took them a matter of minutes to charge us for the new IPhone 6 but so far they have not been able to apply the credit for the edge return after eight days. All the links to this transaction are dead and there are no records on the verizon billing site to back up the charges. The message today is the first 'hint' that there may be a charge coming but no mention of the credit.

After update my iPhone 4 iOS to 4.0.1 my bettery gone so bad. Every 1% goes in every minute while browsing. Also system gone proper slow and 3G conectivity gone very poor. I really want to go back to ios 4.3.4 until these issue is resolved. Please help.

After update my iPhone 4 iOS to 5.0.1 the. Bettery gone so bad. Every 1% goes every minute while browsing. Also system is very slow and 3G. Connectivity gone very poor. I want to go back to ios 4.3.4 until these problem are resolved. Please help.

Just look around the forum posts. Your issue is the number one problem reported by users. There are many suggestions found, some work for some users, others do not.
Some users have reported no battery problems after the upgrade. Others have improved performance after upgrading to 5.0.1 from 5.0. YMMV.
Many of the posts offer suggestions about changing various settings - there are many that affect the battery life.
Once you upgrade the iOS on a device, you cannot go back to a previous version.

Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

Texts from Verizon in the middle of the night

I don't appreciate getting texts from Verizon in the middle of the night. Of course, all 4 of us on our plan got those same messages. When I called, the representative I talked with said, of course, that these are automated messages and they have no control over them. I had 14 texts from Verizon beginning at 12:38 AM and ending at 4:26 AM. The texts were in reference to data usage which the representative said was probably from 24 to 72 hours ago. Then text me during the day. How aggravating!!!!!!! Has anyone else had this problem????

The texts are sent as soon as reported data hits each threshold. Data use information is synced to your account during those times of the day when reporting can be more accurate considering most people don't use data at those times and congestion on the network would be at its lowest.

Text from Verizon IPhone 5s not received in Sweden

My texts that I send to Sweden are delivered as garbled 4-character words. This was not an issue for the same recipient when I was on a Sprint IPhone 4s (until three days ago)
I can, however, receive texts from the same recipient. This is not an IMessage issue.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Are you using WiFi or cellular data? If you're on WiFi, try turning WiFi off temporarily and test it on the cellular data network.
When the phone goes into standby, the WiFi radio will be powered down to conserve battery life after a few minutes. If you're getting messages while the phone is in standby, that may be why, if there is a problem with the WiFi network.
Have you done any troubleshooting at all?
Reboot? Reset network Settings? Reset your router? etc.?

How do i send a text from verizon messages when im not the primary phone on the account

I have no service at work in the building. I would like to send and recieve texts via Verizon Messages but I am not the primary on the account, How do I fix this.

mvener11,
We certainly want you to have access to Verizon Messages while at work. Each line of service is eligible for its own My Verizon account and Verizon Messages. There is no need for you to be the account owner to register for My Verizon. That being said, since you are not the Account owner, you will be limited on the account information you can see, but you will still have full access to Verizon Messages for your line of service.

Why have I received a text from Verizon telling me that my account is locked?

It gives me a link that takes me to a site50 location. This sounds fishy but I cannot contact a verizon representative online or by phone. Anyone else having this problem?

I finally got through to Verizon and they confirmed it as a spam. We reset my account and I am good again except that the scammers got confirmation of my cell phone number which might lead to spamming in the future. It looked like a valid text msg but upon reflection, the link was not to a secure site. It was to an http: site rather than the expected https: type of site. Also another lesson learned is to remember the separate password for billing account interactions. It is different from the My Verizon Account password. It is needed to access help from Verizon and would have saved me a lot of time. Instead, I had to listen to many telephone menus before I got to a real person. Thanks for your help Ann154.

Pasting text from a word program while retaining the same italics formatting?

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to be able to copy text from another program (Microsoft Word) and then, using the Text tool in Photoshop (CS6), paste that text, but where it retains the correct italics formatting I had in the other program--and not as an image of text (Ctrl+P), in which the formatting is present, as a flat image, but rather as an actual unrasterized and editable Text layer. For example, the sentence “I told you..” where 'told' is italics, simply pastes into Photoshop as "I told you.." without the original formatting. Is there a way to get Photoshop to recognize formatting from pastes without my having to manually re-apply the formatting myself? This would be a hassle over a long period of time. If necesary I would be willing to use a plug-in that allows for this sort of recognition.
Thanks!

InDesign does correctly accept Word's formatting with 2 important considerations.
In the InDesign preferences, Clipboard Handling needs to be set up to paste "All Information (Index Markers, Swatches, Styles, etc)
In Word you can't use formatting like faux Bold or faux Italic in place of using a font that has an actual Bold or Italic font style.
InDesign only allows for using fonts that have a Bold or Italic font style and no longer allows for faux styles like MS Word or older type layout applications like PageMaker or Quark (clicking a B or I button)
You can copy the Text Block in InDesign (the arrow tool - not the text tool) and paste this into Photoshop as a Vector Smart Object.
You can then use a layer style on this Vector Smart Object layer.
But all this really just a sideshow. If you are copying a small amount of text, it shouldn't take long to reformat in PS.
If you are doing a large amount of text or small amounts many, many times you should do as Willi Adelberger says and place the images in InDesign. You can place or paste text for MS Word in InDesign (and adjust or edit it if you want)
In InDesign you can color the text, apply special effects like drop shadows, embossing, etc.
Can you tell us the amount of text you deal with, how often you need to do this, and what (if anything) do you want to do to the text after you get it into PS?
I think everyone would agree with Willi's statement: "Personally I would avoid to make text objects in Photoshop if not specific raster-image effects or combinations are needed."

Changing from Verizon prepaid basic to Verizon1g $50 plan

I bought the Samsung Legend at Walmart along with the Walmart only $50 1g prepaid card. When trying to keep my existing number during activation, it is only allowing me to choose from Verizon $60 & $70 plans. I haven't completed activation because of this. Any suggestions?

Mimi00811. Congratulations on your new phone! I want you to be able to keep your number and use your prepaid card. In order to best assist you please reach out to our Prepaid Department by dialing *611 from a Verizon Wireless phone or dialing 888-294-6804.

2:45am text from Verizon????

OK, so I get my expected "you've used 75% of your data plan" text. But it comes in a 2:45am, waking me up. Are these guys absolutely friggin' nuts? Don't tell me I should turn off my alerts before I go to sleep. I leave them on so if something IMPORTANT comes up, I can be advised. Who do I complain to about this? If Verizon is going to do crap like this, I'm headed for another provider.

Uh, well, the system is programmed by the little persons in the cubicles. It can't be that hard for them to tell it not to wake people at 2:45am. If they want to look like Dr. Evils, they're doing a good job of it. C'mon folks. I don't get phone calls from my utility company at 2:45am telling me that they've sent me my monthly bill because they've done the processing on that bill at that time. There is NO excuse for doing this. Yep, Dr. Evil is sitting there saying "Hey, our towers sync up at 2:45am. We'd better let all our subscribers know, at that very moment, what they've found!" OK, maybe not Dr. Evil. How about Dr. Clueless.

Can't receive picture texts from Verizon customers??

My sister, mother in law and a bunch of friends have Verizon. Whenever they send me picture texts I never receive the pictures. My husband also has the same iPhone and he doesn't receive them either. We have no problem getting pics from other AT&T users, Sprint, etc.
Does anyone know anything about this? I said it had something to do with the stupid 3G feud between AT&T and Verizon, but my husband said that was dumb. It's really annoying though! Thanks for any info.

Its not a feud - Verizon use CDMA and most of the rest of thr world uses 3G GSM, or in a different terminlogy, one is Betamax and one is VHS. they both work, but not with each other.
At the call level they will interwork but I suspect at the MMS level, they don't but I don't live in a CDMA area so don't suffer from that.

Macbook pro auto wake from sleep every minute lid open or closed

Macbook Pro 2.53, OSX10.8.5.
Since I installed Lion, my Macbook pro will not sleep for longer than one minure.
Even with the lid closed it still wakes up. Charger on or off.
Force sleep works, but auto wake after a minute.
Have reset SMC, deleted printers, sharing off, bluetooth off, and tried for over a year to find a solution.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Reset the SMC.
Step 4
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 5
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 6
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

I just got a text from verizon stating a 3rd party vendor just charged to my bill. Is there a way to find out the cost of the charge.

Is there a way to find out what a 3rd party vendor charged to my bill, before the end of the billing cycle.

You could try calling CS, but other than that I don't think there is.

Why are my text messages not delivered from Verizon Customers to my new provider?

I ported two numbers away from Verizon and now Verizon is apparently blocking text messages from Verizon customers to my new provider.
I can get texts from AT&T, Sprint, TMobile, and anyone else. Unfortunately, I cannot get texts from Verizon customers.
I have been right next to a friend with a Verizon android who texted to my non-Verizon android, and it never got through. My new provider says that this is not uncommon.
I have been on with Verizon tech support, and while they are nice enough, they have not been able to fix anything.
Verizon, please take responsibility to fix this!

rowdyonez, thanks for helping us support Frustrated_Former_Verizon_Cust with information regarding how to resolve their text messaging issue. Let's make sure that this isn't a memory capacity issue. The first thing that we recommend is to delete all unwanted text messages and power the devices off/on to soft reset. Keep us posted. We can assist right here in this forum, too.
