Verizon now forcing new contracts instead of month to month

My FIOS bundle expired in March. I understood both from online statements and from talking with Verizon support that my services would continue on a month to month basis. I was happy with this while I look at whether I will continue with FIOS, purchase a new bundle or go elsewhere.
I find today that when looking at my account that Verizon have instigated a new contract for 12 months with an enforced ETF fee!! How can a company a) Instigate a new contract without my agreeement or notification? b) Change the terms of an existing agreement (i.e month to month) without notifying me first?
The enforced contract with ETF seems to me to be a legal form of theft - though how Verizon can mandate this practice is beyond me. If you are in the same situation - i.e. month to month - check your accout.
It looks now as though now I am being forced to continue with Verizon, purchase with a new 2 year contract or leave and pay a (to me) wholly unfair termination fee.

call the business office. Verizon reps will resolve this for you.

Feel such an idiot, may now cancel new contract.

Just rang BT as my contract had come to an end, I have Broad band option 3 and unlimted calls.
Did some research and wanted to see what BT would offer me before I moved providers.
Was told that I had been offered a loyalty bonus and was made to feel like BT was giving me a better deal then all the rest.
I was to be given a new homehub 3 which cost £99 for 50p a month, and broadband calls at a special rate.
I now find that this was all rubbish, there is no deal if I dont cancel the contract then I will pay the going amount for my package, £44.50 to add insult to injury I am being charged £6 for delivery of a homehub.
I am utterly deflated, I feel such an idiot. I was made to feel that I had been offered a great deal when in fact I wasnt. I rang to see what they could do for me as I had found a similar package a lot cheaper. I was talked into a new contract thinking that I was being offered a better price then what BT offered when in fact I wasnt.
Seriously considering cancelling my contract.

You need to act quickly. You should be protected for 14 days after agreeing a contract to cancel.
To be honest BT are the sneakiest bunch of (can't say) I've come across. I used to hate Sky but BT have surpassed this.
I'm off to Virgin Media. You can change your package without a contract renewal for a start. I was slammed with a 24 month contract just to change from the 10gb BB to the 40gb BB.
I'm now going to pay the £180 cancellation fee because the BT service is so shockingly terrible. Spent hours dealing with technical support, had multiple HH2's and still the issues persist. Been a customer for nearly 2 years and still have 12 months to run but enough is enough.
Get out while you can.
Your talking rubbish , there is NO 14 day period and you weren't slammed, you willingly took out a upgrade and therefore a new contract, that is not slamming.
A few months with Virgin media and you might be coming back

Force new tab, instead of new window

Hi. Is there a way for Safari to force links that require new windows to open in a new tab instead? Is there something I can download or a hidden preferance?
Thanks,

Early Termination/6 Month freeze on a new contract

How can I validate what the local Verizon rep stated to me. Asked how much to terminate my contract early, I have 5 months remaining on a smart phone and have 2 other phones still under contract, price to early terminate was $160. The proceeded to say I wanted to early terminate and request a new upgrade for a discounted phone and was told the Verizon prohibits this for a 6 month period and the upgrade freeze is on all phones. I have read and re-read the early termination contract and see no mention of any freezes. And besides, how could they do that if I met the requirements for early termination, I paid for my phone. Any ideas how to get this resolved?

I respect every reply to my post and a newbie to the verizon forum, I asked a question hoping to hear of a real example of another person with first hand knowledge of a freeze on a new line or phone after an early termination or being allowed to do this. again, thank you to anyone that took the time to reply but it seems the replies so far are opinion. I asked a verizon rep to clarify what I was told and was told that I could feasibly early terminate and subscribe to a new line and a discount withoutt a waiting period. So whats false churn?
thank you

I brought in a galaxy note 3 in January. I signed up for a month to month contract. I was offered a free iphone5c with a 2yr contract. My daughter in law needed a new phone so I took the offer. Unfortunately she broke the phone and gave it back to me.

Unfortunately she broke the phone and gave it back to me. In the meantime I decided to upgrade my phone since I signed up for a 2yr contract I figured I might as well get a new phone. I got the lgg3 for free with a2yr contract and with that I was offered the LG tablet for free for 10$month with a 2 yr contract also. I am not happy with Verizon at all. The fees, service and even my lgg3 device. I wanted to know what would be the cheapest was to end this contract. I should have thought about the agreement before I signed I know. I just want out. Thank you for any help

Early termination fees:
G3 $350
tablet $175
iphone 5c. $350
so $875 to get out. You keep all the devices.

I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it. I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

I just got an iphone 6. Not all of my music was on itunes, so I logged in and instead of clicking set up as new iphone I hit restore from backup, thinking it only pertained to the music in itunes. Now my new iphone looks just like my old iphone and has iphone 5 settings. How can I undo and get back to iphone 6 settings?

Settings/Reset/Erase all content and settings...
Recently I had to do the sequence above and when the phone rebooted, it came up as a new phone.

Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored

Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored and updated firmware, deleted the account, anything I could think of, but it's just not accurately downloading the most recent emails.

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion. I realise that she needs to tidy up ipad 1 first and get rid of thousands of emails etc. I need help.
Thanks kiwihdrider

Hi yes that works well when the new ipad hasn't been used. Trouble new one has been used for two months or more, has lots photos email etc etc. I am worried that these will go. When we did iPhone thru same process finished up with two of most things pics and emails. The emails alone were over 2 thousand and wife reluctant to delete them all. I would and just sort pics. Any other ideas

Verizon iPhones are GSM unlocked by default, so get a SIM and try it.

Links that force new windows - new tabs instead?

Hi, I know Apple doesn't really go to this forum, but I didn't really see any sort of "Safari Feedback" page. (I only saw the Report a Bug to Apple thing)
I know that by default, most links will open in the current tab you are using if you click on them, or open in a NEW tab if you Command-Click or Middle Mouse click. Ok, cool.
Plus there is a setting in Safari in which links from Applications open in new tabs if you wish. This is cool, I like that.
However, there are SOME links in pages, where their default setting is to NOT open in the current window/tab, but instead open in a whole new window. Now this is cool and all, as the web designer probably has a reason for keeping the current window accessible, and creating the new window as an alternate. This is cool and all, however I would like these instances to be created in a new TAB instead of a new window. I know Firefox has this option where links which normally create new windows create new tabs instead.
Is there some setting in Safari I am missing? (normally I am pretty thorough) If not, is there a location in which I can suggest this feature for an upcoming release of Safari? Thanks!
(other than that, I am loving my switch to the Mac, as well as the switch to Safari!)

I had iweb on my last computer - bought a new 2013 macbook pro a few months ago and it's gone. I have a webpage I build on it and now I need to get back in to update it. Help.

Well of course you won't have iWeb on a new MacBook from this year. iWeb has not shipped on new Macs for a long time now and Apple has not sold iLife through its stores or online for over a year and does not support iWeb any longer.
If you want iWeb now, you will either need to purchase a new copy of iLife or try and find the old install discs from your old Mac and re-install iWeb from that disc. It also depends on what iWeb version you were using too - iWeb 08 or 09? If 08, then this is not compatible with Mavericks which will be running on a new Mac, so you'll need iWeb 09 for this. If you can find your old install discs and they are iWeb 09 then go ahead and use these, but if not, you will have to purchase the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set from Amazon and both of these contain iWeb 09 and you can then install it.
Also, when you set up your new Mac, did you migrate info over? If you had built a website on your old Mac, then you need to data file where all iWeb info is stored and that is called your domain.sites file and you need this file to be transferred if you want your website back again.
Can you get access to thhis file on your old Mac and transfer it? If you can then fine, you can access your website again, but if not, you are out of luck and you'll have to re-build your website from scratch using iWeb.
If you don't have iWeb, then now might be a good time to move forward and look at the many alternatives that are out there such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, and EverWeb which is billed as an iWeb replacement and is very much like iWeb, but with SEO and the ability to create drop down menus built in (check out http://www.everwebapp.com). Other alternatives also include Flux 4, Freeway Pro and Express and WebAcapella 4.
Have a look and most of these allow you to download free trials so you can try before you buy.

I upgraded to iphone 5c at the end of Dec. I accidentally washed my phone and now it doesn't work. Is there a way to get a new or refurbished iphone 5c without signing a new contract?

Thank you. I've been looking online for refurbished iphones but that is cheaper than buying a refurbished phone.
