Verizon Rep telling me to find a different carrier?!

I tried emailing this to corporate but got tired of looking around for an actual email address, so hopefully I can get a response here..
Let me start off with saying, I signed up with you guys about 5 years ago for a short time, I brought both my phones home and was getting continuous dropped calls, so I took phones back before the grace period was up and went to Sprint. Since then, we moved to Arizona for a year, then recently came back to Missouri. Sprint wasnt working out for us for multiple reasons, so I wanted to go back to Verizon as I have heard good things about them. We moved back to the same AREA as we were before when we had you for a few days. Before I ordered I was assured we had coverage at our address. Shortly after we ordered service we were out of town a lot, and when we were home, every now and then we did get some dropped calls, I can live with a FEW dropped calls here and there, but in the last week or two it has been unbearable! I worked from home today and I could not stay on the phone for more than 2 minutes! This is ridiculous! So I called in a few days ago to see what my options were, the rep told me he opened up a trouble ticket and will call me back and go from there. I guess they called my wife today (when I gave them MY number to call back on) and they left her a voicemail, it got deleted so I called in about 30 minutes ago, wanted to know what the call was about, I dropped call on the rep, he called me back, he was transferring me to tier 2 or something, while on hold I dropped again, I waited 10 minutes and he never called back, so I then drive two blocks away so I wouldnt drop call again, and this time the lady pulls up my account and comes back saying since our area has MARGINAL coverage and if I dont want to spend $249 on a network extender that I need to shop around for a different carrier! Really?! You guys are willing to lose a customer that has 4 devices and would have been more, and bill being $220-$250 per month because you guys do not want to help resolve this dropped call situation?? I am confused on how any company would just tell me to go to a different carrier??? Sprint and I had our differences but when we were in Arizona, they sent us FREE OF CHARGE an extender because they didnt want to lose our 7 lines that we had with them. I am hoping the lady I spoke with was just a new hire or something and I really hope your company doesnt do their practice like that. What I am hoping for is that someone can call me back so this can all get resolved without me going elsewhere.
Thanks

The problem is no service or marginal service is not worth you paying for. Verizon actually gave you good advice.
Verizon is not Sprint. Sprint is bleeding customers so naturally they will give you a signal extender for free. They want to keep your account open and money flowing in.
Verizon sells their extenders. It only a business decision.
I would just look for another provider. However be aware Verizon may ding you for early termination fees per line up to $350 each.
The phones are not usable on any other provider so you have to buy new devices on the next carrier. So you will spend activation fees at the new provider. This is very expensive so you may want to buy the $199 extender versus over a few thousand dollars to switch.
A real pain but the choice is yours.
Good Luck

  • QUESTION FOR THE VERIZON REPS???

    Sunday- 3/24/2013
    To Verizon Reps,
    Please will you find out both what is and why were the VECTOR FONTS part of the Charge Phone's latest FP8 upgrade???
    Where are they located in the Charge phone?
    How would I use the Vector Fonts?
    Thanks and best regards,
    JerryF

    3/31/2013
    NickB_VZW  (VZW Customer Support),
    Oh well to bad for me because the Vector Font was NOT downloaded with my latest FP8 update. 
    As you described I went to Settings>Display Settings and the same four "old fonts" were still the only Fonts  there.  BTW, they were:  Default Font, Choco cooky, Cool jazz, and Rosemary.  NO Vector Fonts.
    Thanks anyway for trying and I am happy to report that it's not the "end-of the-world" because they are not there!  If you ever hear anything more regarding Vector Fonts please let me know.
    JerryF
    PS,  Re your question, both my i510 Charge phone and my Wife's have been running very well...thank you.

  • Renewed my Contract Based on Misinformation From Verizon Reps-Any Recourse to Get Out of Contract?

    A few months ago (February or so) I renewed my contract with Verizon and got an iPhone 4S as my previous HTC phone up and died. I knew I was going to be moving to Canada for awhile and so I made sure to ask a lot of questions about their Nationwide+Canada plan and what phones would work in Canada before making any plan or phone purchases. From that point on I was fed different information from every rep I talked to in store, online via chat, and via e-mail. The online rep told me that CDMA phones wouldn't work in Canada so I had to get the iPhone 4S rather than the Galaxy Nexus, which was the phone I was originally interested in. Found out later that's not true—CDMA phones do work in Canada (at least in the part I'll be in; there are some more rural areas where they don't work). That rep also told me that my grandfathered-in unlimited data plan would work in Canada and all I had to do was pay an extra $20/month to get voice and texting coverage in Canada. So, I got the iPhone in the store and renewed my contract based on the information the rep gave me.
    Came to find out later that you need a separate global data plan to get 3G coverage in Canada, which is $25 for a nearly useless 100MB. This isn't made clear at all on the Verizon website for the Nationwide+Canada plan, and I complained about this plus the misinformation I received from the in-store rep, and all Verizon had to say was, "Sorry, but thanks for being a customer." When the time came to actually go to Canada, I switched to the Nationwide+Canada plan to get voice coverage for the time I was there, which I did in a different Verizon store. The rep in that store told me when I signed up that if I used more than a certain percentage of my minutes in Canada vs. the U.S., Verizon would cancel my plan, which is also not mentioned on the website anywhere that I found. She also said that I couldn't suspend my account for the entire time I'd be in Canada because it's longer than their suspension limits, although she admitted she didn't know how long the limit was off the top of her head and I couldn't find an exact number on the Verizon website.
    So, I was fed a bunch of conflicting information from multiple Verizon reps that led me to renewing my contract. Do I have any recourse to get out of it? I'm really disappointed because I've never had trouble with Verizon until now.

    Apparently I'm not the only person who's been fed conflicting information from various Verizon reps when it comes to coverage in Canada: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/237079#237079
    When I initially e-mailed Verizon about this issue, I told them that if their own employees don't understand what the company offers, then how are the customers supposed to understand?
    It just doesn't seem right to have to pay the ETF when I only renewed my contract because I was given incorrect information by more than one rep. If I'd been given the correct information, I wouldn't have gotten a new phone that required a new 2-year contract.

  • Does it really matter if Verizon reps read posts?

    Just read a few posts about Verizon reps not reading the posts on this board. Though that may be true, who cares if they do or don't?
    If you are an unhappy Verizon customer and you voice your opinions, others will see it. Do you not think that is powerful? Every single one of these people viewing these posts will someday in the future be faced with the decision of staying with Verizon or selecting another carrier. This site is in fact very powerful with or without the eyes of Verizon upon it. The customers are the ones that make or break a company. My experience with Verizon has been a nightmare. We are very responsible, kind people and have been treated unfairly. The customer service with Verizon has been unacceptable. We have not been customers we have been victims to their incompetence and ability to solve problems and then harassed because we won't pay the bills that are not correct. Other people need to know this. Obviously by the contents of this site, we are not alone. This is not good news for Verizon. I would NEVER recommend them to anyone. As I said, whether they see it or not, that has to matter. In my opinion they are shooting themselves in the foot with this site.

    Our experience with Verizon is legitimate. Before I logged on to this site I was thinking it had to be an exception to their customer service. I thought for some unfortunate reason we had fallen victim to some bad luck with Verizon but I soon discovered different. I certainly wasn't happy to learn that anyone else had experienced what we have been going through but it opened my eyes to the truth about the way this company treats their customers when problems do occur, as they will with any cell phone company. I saw a few complaints that were unwarranted but most of what I've read associated to customer service have been parallel to what we have experienced therefore confirmed in my mind that Verizon does not care about their customers time or frustration when trying to solve a problem related to their company.

  • Can any Verizon Rep confirm that CBS Sports Network is now part of ExtremeHD?

    It seems that CBS Sports Network has now been added to the ExtremeHD package but I've yet to find any official word from Verizon. There is a thread at DSL Reports that confirms ExtremeHD customers can now receive channel 94 and PrimeHD cannot so that rules out any Free Preview. Would be nice for Verizon to be the first to notifiy their PAYING customers about channel changes, like the Tennis Channel last year, but it seems it's always after the fact.
    Any Verizon Rep care to comment?

  • Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie '08 and need to find a different apple editing program

    Can no longer see projects in library viewer in imovie ’08 and need to find a different apple editing program
    I had approximately 15 projects that I can no longer see in imovie. I have read almost every thread on this community for imovie regarding error messages associated with looking for clips. In each case I have rebuilt the project.  However, today I continually received a message to search for a .dv file. I have located the file and even changed the .dv file to .mov file and yet none of my projects will appear. I have rebooted, deleted the plist and nothing works.
    I was planning on buying a new Mac in 2014 with new editing, and use my old Mac as a backup for imovie files. Very frustrated that I can’t work with any projects now! I se the files in my Movies/imovies/iprojects folder but they don’t appear in the viewer.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get back my projects into the viewer? Or, can someone recommend a basic program compatible with imovie 08 that I can use to import my exiting projects into?

    No, Wasn't sure if I could continue to upgrade to 9.0.9 since my Mac is relatively old.
    Just don't understand why I have to keep starting a project over and over again. As I type this, the imovie icon is jumping and asking for "clip 135-02-05-05;27:15" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."  I have located this clip and pointed imovie to the clip, and nothing happens. I even try to locate the corresponding clip in the event viewer but it is not there.
    Today is the first time I have not been able to see my projects in the viewer.

  • Easy ways to find/search  different fields and tables relations?

    Dear Friend ,
    I am useing SE11 and SE16 to different table and field name relation . Is it any easy was to find table different table and field name relation .
    Please reply urgently........
    Max award for sol

    Hi,
    I would wonder if you could use SE11 and SE16 for getting information on table relations.
    You can use e.g. SQVI to create queries and you can set the link between tables (define the relation of them).
    As for your question:
    1 Please check this link:
    http://www.erpgenie.com/abap/tables.htm
    2.
    You can use SE16 + DD30L to search for specific field  / table.

  • Has anyone else noticed that the Verizon reps in here are just not very helpful?

    Maybe its me, but I notice that the worse responses to someone in need come from those with Verizon customer service.  Its like they are not really paying attention to the question, responses, or problem and just type a pat scripted response with this annoying fake empathy. 
    I'll start. 
    Advice #1:
    I think every Verizon Rep in this community forum should get a cell phone. An Android smartphone...on the Verizon network....one that just recently got the Kit Kat update.  I WANT THEM TO FEEL OUR PAIN!!!!
    (From many of the VZW CS responses, its like there are clueless to what is going on. Like they don't have any experience with the cell phones problems we describe.)

  • Open finder in different desktop sessions

    How can we open finder in different desktop sessions.....
    Or alternatively switch diff instances of finder like Alt+Tab in Windows

    Thanks X423424X,
    Those aritcles were helpful in some way.
    I can assign Finder to multiple desktop but if I access it from any desktop it opens the same instance of Finder.
    Is there a way by which I can open different instance of Finder in different desktop.
    My goal is to switch between different instances of Finder, quickly.

  • How to find those different namespaces in schema?

    Hi,
    I heard that schema contains different name spaces. how to find those different namespaces in schema?
    I checked with this but it is throwing "table or view doesn't exist".
    select namespace from v$librarycache;
    Thanks
    Praveen

    Are you referring to this? From the SQL Language Reference manual under Schema Object Names and Qualifiers
    7. Within a namespace, no two objects can have the same name.
    The following schema objects share one namespace:
    Tables
    Views
    Sequences
    Private synonyms
    Stand-alone procedures
    Stand-alone stored functions
    Packages
    Materialized views
    User-defined types
    Each of the following schema objects has its own namespace:
    Indexes
    Constraints
    Clusters
    Database triggers
    Private database links
    Dimensions
    Because tables and views are in the same namespace, a table and a view in the same schema cannot have the same name. However, tables and indexes are in different namespaces. Therefore, a table and an index in the same schema can have the same name.
    Each schema in the database has its own namespaces for the objects it contains. This means, for example, that two tables in different schemas are in different namespaces and can have the same name.
    Each of the following nonschema objects also has its own namespace:
    User roles
    Public synonyms
    Public database links
    Tablespaces
    Profiles
    Parameter files (PFILEs) and server parameter files (SPFILEs)
    Because the objects in these namespaces are not contained in schemas, these namespaces span the entire database.Which is why you can do:
    SQL> create table t (id number, descr varchar2(10));
    Table created.
    SQL> alter table t add constraint t check (mod(id,2) = 0);
    Table altered.
    SQL> create index t on t(id);
    Index created.
    SQL> create trigger t
      2  before update on t
      3  begin
      4     dbms_output.put_line('T Trigger');
      5  end;
      6  /
    Trigger created.but not:
    SQL> create view t as select * from t;
    create view t as select * from t
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing objector
    SQL> create procedure t
      2  begin
      3     null;

  • My verizon rep told me re: 2.2

    Below is cut from an email I recevied from my Verizon rep. I had emailed informing her of my frusteration on the mixed messages I am receiving regarding the update.
    "Hi! I am so sorry your frustrated! That is not good at all! I am so sorry! I called tech support and talked to a Supervisor and he said that they STOPPED pushing the update out because it was causing problems with the phone. Those that got it got it and if you did not get it that was on purpose. The Supervisor said that Motorola is aware of it and they are going to re-release the 2.2 version."
    No ETA on this re-release

    That makes sense. Well, in that case, I would rather wait for all the bugs to be worked out before getting the update. I'm not gonna worry about it anymore. I guess I will get it, when I get it. Thanks for the info.

    perform some ASSIGN to components of the two areas and compare those in a DO/ENDDO loop. Look at [Assigning Components of Structures to a Field Symbol|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fc/eb3923358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]

      IF SY-SUBRC NE 0. " no more component
        EXIT.
