Unable to call, reach and connect with Customer Service
How come every time I call *611 or 18009220204 from my cell phone. It directs me to the *611 app. Then at the very bottom of the app, it says "call customer service" then I'm directed to enter my billing pin. Then it just cycles after I enter it back to the *611 app. Why am I unable to call customer service any more?? Very very frustrating. This app definitely has a glitch obviously and I need to speak with someone.
yes i can make calls to everyone..except verizon. i have the samsung droid charge. what is this new *611 app all about. i'm not interested in even having to view it, just so i can scroll all the way down to call customer service and ask to enter my pin..time consuming. and even more frustrating that i still can't speak to anyone.

I'd like to express how unsatisfied we have been with Verizon on an issue that has been ongoing now since March 14, 2014. It involves an upgrade on one of our lines. After all these months, phone call with customer service, Tech support, and visits to a Verizon stores, I would hope that there are ample notation on our acct but since I've had to explain the situation on a bi-weekly time frame, I would assume that no one has documented any contacts.
We've been with Verizon for few yrs now and I have always been very satisfied with Verizon who, up until now , always provided excellent customer service in their knowledge, concern, and customer satisfaction. But I have to say, every positive outlook I've had with your company has been wiped clean with the worst service we have received in the last few months.
We upgraded my daughter's phone on 03-14-14 with a Samsung Galaxy Mini from an Iphone 4s. Within 24 hrs, the phone failed. After 2 visits to a Verizon store the next day which took 6 hrs, we still had to return the next day to speak to a manager. The 2 stores advised us to make a CLAIM on the defective phone thru our insurance plan with Verizon. A CLAIM on a 24 hr old phone!! A 3rd visit with a manager finally convinced him to replace the phone with another new phone at the store. Within 2 weeks - issues began to occur with the replacement phone. Several visits more, several calls more with Customer Service, several calls more with tech support which adds up to soooo many of our time taken up to simple have temporary "fixes" is outrageous. If I billed Verizon for my time, perhaps the situation would have been resolved more quickly. Each visit lasts approx 2 hrs, each phone call approx 1-1 1/2 hrs. We are talking at least 2x a month for the course of 5 1/2 months. Plus the time it takes to get the phone back to where she needs it - contacts, apps, internet.
Not once were we offered a new phone or replace the phone. Not until today. Replace the phone with the same phone that my daughter has grown to hate. So basically a 3rd phone - same phone. She is not interested in this phone any longer. She dealt with this phone model for far too long.
Today we were offered to replace the phone with same phone, or pay for a refurbished Iphone 4. So basically she would be going back to her original Iphone 4s before the upgraded WITH a cost. So her upgrade was wasted, we'd paid over $200 for a defective phone, and would need to pay for an even older model Iphone 4 and have to pay for it. Why wasn't she offered a different phone within those 30 days after the upgrade and 6 visits?
Every rep at the stores, every rep in tech support would provide a different reason for the issue. Finally, tech support advised not to download apps. WHAT GOOD IS A SMARTPHONE IF YOU CAN'T HAVE APPS??? We are talking about a 20 yrs college student who attends school in another state. Do you know the trouble she has to go thru to visit a store? To find 2 hrs between being a full time student with 2 jobs to sit on the phone with a tech support or go to a Verizon store? Once-ok Twice-maybe BUT for 5 months?
She's not eligible for an upgrade. She will be stuck with a phone that she had grown to hate. And I with customer service which I've grown to hate.
Finally, The Edge. Trying to find a way to make my daughter happy, I spoke with 4 representative today about the Edge. Each rep gave me 4 different information. 1st rep advised Edge phone could not be used on another line so I could not use a line eligible for the Edge and give that phone to my daughter since she isn't eligible for the Edge. 2nd rep advised that although new phone thru edge must be used by same number that it was eligible for, we could use the current phone o that line for my daughter. My son currently has an Iphone 5 and is eligible for the Edge early upgrade. He would not have to return his Iphone 5 so my daughter could use it. However, all the lines would have to go to the More Everything Plan and share the Data between all our phone lines. 3rd rep advised the cost would almost double from our current $358 to go to the More Everything Plan so suggested to have 2 accounts vs just 1. 4th rep advised not every line needs to go the More Everything Plan, we could not keep the current phone, and my daughter could get a replacement phone but same phone or made exception to offer the Edge early upgrade to my daughter but only after we go thru the replacement program because the phone we send to Verizon has to be in good working order/no defects.
After 5 1/2 months, it is now Verizon that is indicating that we have a defective phone and can't accept it thru the Edge program or we would get billed approx $299 for a defective phone. After 5 1/2 months of me calling in about a defective phone that not one rep replaced because they "fixed" the problem ( by the way, a temporary fix is not fixing, if it was fixed I would have made those calls today or writing this email), I am now being told her phone is defective. She advised to get a replacement phone first, return the old phone, activate the new phone, then call in to get the Edge early upgrade. So my daughter would have to do all this, plus add contacts back, apps and whatever else she needs to use her phone just to turn around a couple weeks later and do it all over again with the new phone thru the Edge program. Once again, we are the ones having to be inconvenienced and go thru all these steps. Did I mention she is going to be studying abroad in Italy beginning Nov? So the idea of having to wait 2-3 weeks for a new phone and having only a week or 2 to test the phone to make sure it's working properly before she's out of the country doesn't sound appealing to me. Verizon has made us have a defective phone for 5 months advising it's in good working order after each and every "fix" but Verizon will not accept that phone if returned in the same condition as a phone in good working condition. Do you see the irony in that?
I have reached my limit and after 5 yrs of my brother in law trying to convince us to switch to AT&T where he works in their Corporate Office, I can honestly say I will not be sad to leave Verizon. Especially when one of your reps simply provided me with the contract end dates to provide to AT&T because they offered to buy out our contract. No effort in customer retention what so ever. That was a phone call on Thursday.
And yes, one of your tech reps tried to convince me of all the hassle it would be to switch and time AT&T would take to buy out our contracts but honestly it was the pot calling the kettle. I am not in the position to discuss hassle and time after 5 months of getting that with Verizon. Did I mention it's my brother in law so we would be getting special treatment and no out of pocket expenses to switch. It was my loyalty and satisfaction with Verizon that has kept me from switching all these years. Something Verizon clearly does not appreciate.
So can you guess where I am with confidence that your customer service department is knowledgable about the plans/offers? Where I am that I can trust what I'm being told?
I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.Jneklason wrote:

I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter? -
I have "chatted" with customer service 5 different times. I was sent here. I have activated Photoshop Elements 9 on two different iMacs. They are both dead and I am unable to get it to activate on my newest computer. iMac. Can anybody help me?
Unfortunately, only adobe can help you with that, as most people here are just posters such as your self and don't work for adobe.
If you go here and use the Chat now button (bottom of page), they should get you up and running by resetting your activations.

I'm trying to set up email on my Firefox OS Flame (OS is Boot2Gecko 2.0.0.0-prerelease) and getting an error:
Unable to establish a secure connection with mail.velociraptor.info
I'm on Dreamhost, the certificate belongs to `*.dreamhost.com` but I'm not even sure this is a certificate error, and if it is, how I'd go about fixing it. I found the Certificate Manger, but I don't know how to download the certificate and add it, and I don't know if this is even the problem.If this is a self-signed certificate or one where the CA is not trusted on FFOS, you will get this error.
There is currently no proper user interface for adding certificates. You could have a look at the method described at this page: http://www.pending.io/add-cacert-root-certificate-to-firefox-os/
There are also several bugs open regarding this problem, e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=874346. They have additional information that could help you to find out, if this is the problem you are seeing. -

I reached my 1000th hour logged on the phone with customer service
I've been using Verizon jetpacks for 9 months now. Seemed like a sweet deal. Prepaid. Convenient. Fast and reliable. WRONG! I logged my 1000th hour on the phone with customer service today after a 5 hour "troubleshooting" session, second one this week. I've been having to make this exact 5 hour phone call every week sometimes up to 4x per week. I've never spent less than 3 hours on the phone or gone more than 4 days without having to contact customer "service." Naturally, this is pretty ignorant sounding. But, I paid $100 for a significantly small amount of data. I prepaid to be exact. For a service to be rendered one must be able to receive the service paid for. That's simply not the case. I paid $100 for this data already and can't actually use it with any convenience. Unless of course, 5-20 per week on the phone with customer service is typical of any other company. Other than Virgin Mobile, No. It's in fact an extremely absurd amount time for ANY customer to spend on the phone with ANY customer service. No exception. I feel rather abused, used and ****** over by this so call "service". I lost 6 clients. They all sued me in small claims for $3000 each for failing to maintain my end due to my weekly dose of hours on the phone with customer service and NOT doing the job I was employed to do. Nope. Instead, I spent my time with Verizon Customer Service and COURT! Yay! So, I've lost my home, my car was repo'd, $18k loss, 6 customers... and not one time has Verizon spent one second and said to me "Verizon could be the problem"... NEVER has that been the case in all 1000 hours logged. Interesting? No. Just abusive. I resent having to call customer service at all any more. It's even causing my mental health to suffer after all this. You know what is found every time? I'm on a prepaid plan on a device customer service told me to purchase. But wait... thats the second device. Every week I'm told The OTHER device is the one that works with this plan... then a few days later, no that other device is the one that works with the plan, a few days later... The OTHER DEVICE IS THE ONE THAT WORKS.. FFS. See a pattern? I've been directed by Verizon to replace my device 3 times, at $100+ per device plus the $10 sim card, plus the 5 hours on the phone with them every few days. I'd say there's an issue with customer service. First, yes it IS possible there is an issue on YOUR end. I'm pretty sure that having to buy a new device every time I call isn't really the best answer. Second, for the extremely limited amount of data I can't afford to watch a video for fear of capping my data before the end of the 30 days because its 10gig of data. Yeah, 2 whole movies worth! Third, its possible to be wrong, yet Verizon has never, not one single time chose to check their end. ALWAYS and ONLY my end. I don't find that surprising or ironic, I find it the most ignorant and worst customer service in existence only second to Virgin Mobile. Virgin mobile did finally acknowledge the issue was in the broken tower nearby. It took them 6 months and yes... 100's of hours on the phone. Verizon hasn't made any effort to accept responsibility for this issue. I'm sure they are very sincere when they are consuming my 5 hours per phone call trouble shooting my device for the third time this week. It's actually to the point where they have violated their terms of service and failed to look into an issue on their end. The tower has been hit. Hmmm... Ironic. Its quite a distance from here, but is a main tower that has caused an outage across my state. Verizon couldnt tell me that? Is that admitting your wrong so hard to do that it's easier to spend 5 hours on the phone trouble shooting my device than 5 mins looking for outages? Yeah, it could have saved my house and job, but I'm the customer... clueless idiot at the mercy of a company who is never wrong nor makes an effort to correct an issue on their end before stealing my hours from me. At one point, I actually fell asleep in my 2nd hour on hold. Customer service? Nope, a waste. I could dig it if this issue was on my end, but I'm confident that spending up to 20 hours a week troubleshooting to no avail is a HUGE red flag that its not on my end after all. Only cost me a house, a job, car and $18k plus court costs and fees. Fair? Nope. But it would be nice if just ONCE there was an initiative to provide actual support to a customer. I KNOW if this is my experience it is impossible to be an isolated incident with me alone. If I'm tying up 5 hours on the phone, what is the next guy doing? waiting to trouble shoot his box for the next 5 hours over a downed tower. Pride is what that is. People too proud to be wrong at someone else's expense. Definitely an issue if I've paid $900 in 9 months and I spent more hours on the phone with customer service than I have online. Pretty ******. Verizon, you ARE WRONG. Owning it would save the embarrassment of having to ***** about it on this site. I didnt' deserve my losses and it was at my expense and it is STILL at my expense that I'm having to contact that 888-294-6804 number. I've got it memorized like it was my best friends number - that's how often and how many times i've used it. Shame how simple it would be if Verizon wasn't so ******* proud and spent a few moments looking for issues on their end before stealing 5 hours from me doing the obvious over and over and over again... Small claims can be used to sue up to $3k. Looks like that's my only alternative, perhaps if I do that maybe checking for issues on their end will occur instead of pretending its impossible. It feels like I went to mcd's and paid for a meal at the window that took 5 hours to get a bag of raw patties thrown at me from inside after sitting at the window for 5 hours and waiting. I'm wrong of course. I'm am the customer. How could I possibly be right? I've troubleshooted my device over 1000 times. Of course its on my end. Must be.... 1000 times isn't enough to find out there's a potential issue that isn't related to my specific device, no? Is it gonna take 1000 more hours on the phone before one of the representatives decide to look for an outage before the 5 hours of daily trouble shooting? Thats a huge red flag that just keeps getting ignored. I can't think of any other companies besides these two internet providers that finds that acceptable. Better Business Bureau didn't. I'll be filing that complaint with them next. High time Verizon stepped off such a prideful pedestal and seek a remedy before a class action suit sinks them in the future from all other raging bitches not being provided with reasonable service. It's not a rant, this has been a life shattering experience for me and a simple quick check for an issue on their end could have prevented it. BAD BAD BAD Customer service policies to keep a customer on the phone for that length of time to repetitiously check the exact same thing repeatedly every few days. Disgusted. How dare that term "service" even be used if they can't provide "service" via support or otherwise. I'm on the internet finally after 10 hours and the news reported the Verizon tower down. Not verizon... A police officer interviewed on a Detroit News station instead. God knows police have nothing better to do in Detroit than make news appearances for verizon.
Simple solution. Get a real internet service and not a cell phone internet connection service it was never meant to be used as the primary internet service
And how do you lose a home and job and be sued as you claim. What over 10 Gb of data? Give me a break
In my city small claims is $5000.00
And over that amount you can go to a superior court to have your issue settled.

Even though there are over 200 photos on my ipad, after trying both methods of importing and connecting with a lead, a message appears saying that there are no photos on this device. Any ideas?
Did you connect your iPad to your computer then open the application on your computer that transfers photos from a camera? Your computer should recognize the iPad as a camera. All photos in the Camera Roll on the iPad should then be seen and you should be able to copy them to the computer using that application.
Photos that were synced to your iPad by connecting to your syncing computer cannot be copied back this way as the master file for those photos are on the syncing computer. -
Installed my Photoshop Elements 7 on my new laptop. Says my serial number is invalid. Chatted with customer service rep and she says the number should work. What now?
Hi,
Did the serial number come from a boxed set and previously installed from disc and are you now trying to install from a download?
If so, that will not work - the serial numbers are different.
If you don't have a dvd drive on your new system, perhaps you could get someone to copy your disc to a memory stick and install from that.

Using a dongle and connecting with an Xbox 360...
Hi guys,
Quick question, i've moved into my new uni place but it hasn't got any internet. So im looking at getting a dongle but I still want to hook up my xbox to xbox live. Is there a way of feeding the internet through my imac (which is using the dongle) to the xbox. If its any help i do have the extra wireless box for the xbox and also an either-net cable.
Thanks!You X-Box can connect to the internet thru the Mac using either wifi or ethernet, whichever works best for you.
If you want Ethernet, connect a cable between them
If you want wifi, you need to first create a network.
System prefs -> Network.
Select Airport then click on Network name: and select *Create network...*.
Give it a name, tick require password.
Now go System prefs -> Sharing.
Click on *Internet Sharing*.
Set *Share your connection from:* and select the dongle (likely showing up as USB).
If you connect them using Ethernet, set *To computers using:* and select Ethernet.
If you connect them using wifi, set *To computers using:* and select Wifi.
You will need to enable wifi on the X-Box and connect with the password you set above. -
