Verizon: most expensive carrier, continues to take perks away from loyal customers
I'm sorry, but everytime I turn around Verizon is taking away a perk or two. Our company used to get an 18% discount and now Verizon has reduced that down to 15%, which is not any different than the other carriers who are invited to our office for business. More and more I hear from others on this site and other social networking sites about how Verizon gets higher and higher and gives less and less. I'm about ready to get a pre-paid phone from another (less expensive) carrier so that I can have a paycheck left. [venting]

Your company and Verizon negotiate the discount amount - it's not entirely Verizon that determines how much the discount is. It sounds like your company is giving all carriers equal consideration....

Verizon is using the Elipsis tablets to steal data from their customers. The only way to stop data from registering as cellular data is to pull the SIM card. This occurs with wifi enabled and cellular,dara disabled. If,you take your tablet to a Verizonstore they will upgrade your data plan to cover the overage and credit the upgrade. You will then have to remember to downgrade your plan or continue to pay for more data. Verizon, how would you feel if I walked into one of your stores and started filling my pockets with merchandise? If cought can I just give the product back and say "oops, sorry"
Today, my FCC complaint hit the same person working on the BBB complaint. Jimmie has been very nice and seems willing to work with this problem. We have been able to come to an agreement. I paid the purchase price for the phone and he returned my upgrade and unlimited data plan. This is what would have occurred if Verizon had given me correct information to begin with. I am happy with this result. He also brought quite a few instances concerning the handling of my transfer and upgrade that did not follow proper procedure. I am also confident that I would not have resolved this without complaining to BBB and or FCC. Verizon had no interest in solving the problem nor did they show any propensity to keeping a 20 year client. Even though this last CSR was very polite and helpful, his sole job is to respond to formal Federal and State complaints. He is required by law to address every complaint and report the reporting agency the agreed upon results - good or bad. Again, I suggest - If you are not getting the proper customer service, complain to someone outside of Verizon. Jimmie had not received any complaints registered with Verizon directly and I still have not had any contact with any other management representative that I was told would call.

The most expensive but worst service
I have been with Verizon I think for about 5 years now. At first I didn't mind paying the lil extra per month to have a good carrier. They used to have commercials with all the little men with red shirts on talking about the good service area I guess just to get enough customers because NOW u don't even see a commercial from Verizon. You would think since they are the most expensive carrier they would continue to make their service better but in the last two years their service has went from 100 to 0! I would rather have a boost or straight talk phone. My phone always drop calls now, my text messages don't send, my txt messages duplicate and sometimes send the same messages hours and days later and my phone don't pick up good in my house and last but not least you can't even multi task unless you have 4g and sometimes can't even download a pic if your phone doesn't have 4g. I WOULD NOT recommend Verizon services to my dog and I can't wait to leave this expensive no good company. I also have a metro pcs phone that I pay $40 a month (everything's unlimited) and believe it or not it picks up and works better than my Verizon phone. I SHOULD'VE STAYED WITH AT&T!!
Yes I have checked with several people with Verizon service that lives in my area and also outside my area and there all very disappointed in Verizon. True enough, sometimes it do be the phones but in this case I really think it's Verizon because I know at least 10 other people that's having the same issues, (drop calls, duplicate messages, unsent messages, etc...) I think I and the 7 people I encouraged to switch to Verizon Wireless is going to return to AT&T!! Paying well over a hundred dollars a month I shouldn't have to worry about a drop call or a text message that hasn't went through.

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
Thank you very much!!
Peace.Thank you Roger.
That's exactly what I was afraid of...
During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
Thanks a lot!
All the best...

I transfer files from my macbook pro to the WD my book for mac and then delete the file off of my computer, but then it just shows up on my macbook pros hard drive in the "backups" category and continues to take up space on my computers hard drive.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Lion and Mountain Lion create local snapshots if you have Time Machine enabled > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
As local snapshots are backups in the internal drive, it's normal that the files you transferred are part of them. You can delete the local snapshots by turning off Time Machine in System Preferences > Time Machine, but you don't need to do that. Time Machine will delete them automatically when your hard drive is full -

They are the most expensive purchase from iTunes and just as valuable and important to be able to access anywhere from any device? I find it so frustrating that first I had to purchase iWorks for my Mac, then I had to purchase it all over again for my IOS device so I could use iCloud, then I purchase thousands of dollars of movies and am not able to store them in the cloud, yet we have only purchased the rights to the songs no differently than we have the movies. Why would they exclude movies from icloud?
They are not part of icloud in all countries, becuase the movie industry in those copuntries does not allow Apple to offer this.

Application Tuning to find the most expensive sqls
I have a schema in oracel 9i Release 2 and I want to do a performance testing from application side. Application is developed in Java . There are many queries in java side and some stored procedures are called while running the application.
So I need to find the most expensive sqls by running the application and tracing the top sqls
If I set trace enable at database level the trace files will be generated for all the connected sessions right? I want the trace file for only one schema. If I enable trace for a session I will not be able to trap the sqls since the application runs from another session . connection pooling also is used. suggest some good approaches to capture the most expensive sqls?Does the answers in your application tuning not suitable for you ?

I am still running OS x 10.5.8 what is the next step up and the easiest way to get it. Does the Genius bar have the capability to get me to the most recent software if I take my Imac in
iMac G5 - you are at the end of the line, though you may be able to upgrade your RAM, or hard drive.
iMac CoreSolo, CoreDuo - you can upgrade to 1 GB of RAM or 2 GB of RAM and get up to 10.6.8.
iMac Core2Duo - you can upgrade to 2 GB of RAM or more and get up to 10.7.2.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine which Mac model you have.
Here's what you have to watch out for on 10.6 to 10.6.8.
Here's what you need to watch out for on 10.7 to 10.7.2.
Some stores may not have 10.6 installer CD available, or may not have 10.7 Flash drive available. For those you have to make the purchase from elsewhere,
and bring it in to the store with you. http://www.apple.com/retail has phone numbers for all their stores, and extension 5 often will get you a real person at the store, though if yuo don't get it, you might try a different extension. -
Verizon google play carrier billing disappeared from phone, also
Seen someone else had this issue, I have used verizon payment for a year easy, now its not even an option anymore, only debit, credit, redeem. Called verizon and Google, they just blame each other. I do know everything with my verizon account is up to date and fine, should be showing option as payment, but it is not. Any help greatly appreciated :)

Hi! I used to have an Android G2 but it broke recently. Instead of buying a new one, an old friend of mine let me have his old Verizon iPhone 4s. Can I take it to Verizon and have it as a temporary phone?
There's a couple options. It's not the easiest. Another way to not have to wait is to call V from another phone 8009220204 and they can activate it and walk you thru settings. Depending on where youre located CS might be closed but if you got the prompt for emergency tech support they are 24/7.

Why is Mac OS X 10.7 so much slower than Snow Leopard? It isnt smooth, applications are slow and most dont respond, and dowloads take hours, not minutes.
Something is seriously wrong with your installation or you are critically low on RAM, like below 2 GB.
How much RAM is in your machine?
Have you tried a Recovery? -
Why is PowerBook/MBP's AppleCare the most expensive? Even more expensive than Mac Pro's ! What kind of technology justifies the high price?
iBook fan,
In addition to what has already been posted...
Where many components on Desktop computers can be replaced piece by piece, Powerbooks and MBPs have component "assemblies" that must be replaced, and at a higher cost.
For example, the GPU and VRAM are built-in on the logic board, as is the processor. If just one of these components goes bad, the entire logic board must be replaced.
If any part of the keyboard, the keyboard backlighting, the trackpad or the trackpad button goes bad, the entire top case must be replaced.
I'm willing to bet that the entire display must be replaced if the iSight camera goes bad.
All this, plus there's the battery to consider. Overall, repair costs and vulnerability are higher with any portable than they are with any desktop computer.

Is this the most expensive "Mickey Mouse" phone ever?
I have recently got my iPhone 3GS and it’s and impressive device. The market leading MP3 player and the best mobile browsing device ever - with an innovative and intuitive user interface that is way ahead of its competitors.
As a PDA its OK – but lacks the functionality and integration of Windows mobile devices. Doubtless the apps will come to resolve that and at the moment – there are work arounds.
As a phone though – the last phone I had so basic and functionless was 9 years ago. Apple’s heritage shows in this device – reliable quality computing and audio. A lack of phone experience.
*Key issues that irritate*
==========================
There are no profiles and no way to create profiles. When I go into a meeting I don’t want to have to take my phone from its case and hit the silent button and put it back – and I don’t want to do the reverse when the meeting’s over. The same when I get in and out of the car – I want Bluetooth switched on and voice dialling on one profile.
There is no means to create a shortcut. So to get in the car I have to go to settings, general, Bluetooth and switch it on – the same when I get out.
There are no user groups in the address book –which can share a ringtone for example.
There is no way of filtering calls e.g. when in a meeting – only accept calls from users in the VIP group, or from 'Tom' etc.
I’d like Apple to resolve these issues in a future OS update. What else should they address?Your post just strengthens the idea that everyone uses their phone differently.
I have a belt case for my phone, and the silent switch and power button are accessible without taking the phone out. So when in a meeting, I can quite my phone without having to remove it from the case.
Other then a shortcut for BT or Wifi, the rest of your needs don't coincide with mine or anyone I know.
Something I would like to see is scheduling of email/sync - Turn it off from 11pm to 6am. Same for Fetch email.
I do agree things are missing, but my needs are different then yours.
