Using wifi on phone with suspended service

Tech-challenged mom here. I suspended my teenage daughter's service. She says she can still use her phone with wifi. Is that true? Can she talk/text? Or only use games?

An android smartphone is quite functional as a wifi only device. They can't talk and text through the Verizon Wireless network, but they can access data, use instant messaging apps and games with a wifi connection.

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.

Can I use my I-phone with 220 volt with only a plug in prong adapter or do I need a voltage converter?

can I use my I-phone with 220 volt (China) with only a prong adapter, or do I need a votlage converter as well. Unit purchased and used in USA.

The iPhone charger is a world charger, no voltage converter needed. All you might need is a plug adapter, but that's it. Your charger will work fine & no worries about frying your phone as suggested by the orther poster who has no idea what he/she is talking about.

HT201365 How to use Find my Phone with secondary iCloud account in iOS 7

The ability to use Find my Phone with a secondary iCloud account has been removed in iOS 7. I want to be able to track my children's phones, but don't want to share an iCloud account with them. They know I am tracking their phones, and this worked fine for us prior to iOS 7. On their phones, I had Find my Phone turned off under their iCloud, and then added my iCloud to their phone as a secondary account, and turned Find my Phone on under my iCloud account. When I would launch Find my Phone on my phone, it would show me the location of all of my devices and of their phones.
In iOS 7, Find my Phone is not listed under the secondary account. What is the workaround for this? I know that I can go to a PC and log into their iCloud account and see Find my Phone that way, but I can't do that from my iPhone because it is linked to my iCloud account.
Can I link two or more iCloud accounts in the Find my Phone app on my phone?

Just ignore any prompts you get. Don't click the move to iCloud button and don't visit me.com/move. Just keep using mobileme as you have been.
The ONLY clickable button is "Open iCloud.com". I have NO other options. (Using Mac OS on a MacPro)
( somehow my reply was marked as a correct answer, I did not do this, and I can find a way to remove it.)

No. It does not use cellular data.

I am having trouble using my I phone with Icloud. I tried diabling it & all my contacts have been cancelled.

OK, I called Plantronics and it was an easy fix. You need to hold down the volume up button and the power button on (on the headset) at the same time until the lights on the headset start flashing red and blue. Then turn on the phone Bluetooth and it pairs up just fine.
Thanks fo rthe help!!

How can I use find a phone with my family members but they each have there own email

How can I use find a phone with my family's iphone when they already have email addresses?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't use find my phone from your phone if your other family members use another iCloud account.
You have two options depending on why you want to find the phones.
Use find my phone at iCloud.com on a mac/PC and log in using their account.
Use the find my friends app

Can i use my android phone with app store gift card

can i use my android phone with app store gift card

Not with a gift card for the iTunes Store, anyway. Apps from the iTunes Store are for Apple's devices only. If you have a gift card for Google's app store, that would be a different matter.

Used iPhone with suspended service showing lost or stolen...HELP!

I purchased a used Iphone 4 a couple days ago. The seller still had his service active so I figured I could just call and switch it on over to my account.... Evidently it doesn't work like that. So I contacted him and he said he would take care of it. So today he says he called and suspended the service. When I called Verizon they said it is showing lost or stolen.
If you don't register another (junk) phone on the number before you suspend service will the iphone show as lost or stolen... or would he have had to have called and done this?

The phone would have to be totally off his account. He should not sell a still active phone on his account.
Verizons activation computer must have realized the phone meid was already on another account and name.
He must totally remove the iphone from his account and must call to state the phone is not lost or stolen.
Some folks have put these phones out for sale on Craigs List, or ebay etc. then report them lost or stolen to get the money and in some cases their phones back. I must tell you to buy from a dealer and no private sales.
Get your money back and buy one from the store.
Good Luck

Can i use my old phone with verizon prepaid plans

I bought a prepaid gophone from AT&T some months ago. But now I want to test how good Verizon's coverage is. Can I use this old phone I bought from AT&T's website (a Pantech Link) with Verizon's pay as you go plan? Or do I have to buy a phone from Verizon?
Thanks,
Timothy

Verizon Wireless and ATT use two different networks for their voice services. The GSM phone from ATT won't work on the CDMA network used by Verizon Wireless. You need a Verizon Wireless branded device.

Using Cisco 7961 Phones with Linksys SRW208P POE Switch

I am having a problem getting our Cisco 7961 phones to work with a Linksys SRW208P POE switch. The internet works great , but when I connect a 7961 Cisco phone it hangs at the " configuring IP " screen. Are these model phones compatible with this switch? Any Ideas. Thank You!

I'm having a similar problem with the Cisco 7941G phones using a Linksys SLM224G4PS (with PoE). Did you ever get them to work?
The 7941Gs work with the plain Linksys SR224 and using power injectors, but not with the smart switch. It has nothing to do with the PoE, I've used the power injectors with the SLM224G4PS. It wasn't a current overload problem.
I've gotten the phones to work for somewhere between 10-40 seconds, which has given me enough time to find the IP address (DHCP) then pull up the web interface of the Cisco 7941G.
The phone on the SR244 had GARP enabled and Voice VLAN enabled and the operation, the phone on the SLM224G4PS had both disabled.
The working phone on the SR244 had a operational VLAN ID of 31, the non working phone on the SLM224G4PS didn't have any indicated.
I'm guessing that the root of the problem is the Voice VLAN, but tech support tells me that out of the box the switch should pass everything.
Apparently not so much...
