Verizon's use of incorrect grammar in posted advertising on this site.

You need to provide your proofreaders with proper English guidelines fo the use of the word "your" and "you're."  They are not interchangeable.  In your advertisement for the use of your cell phone to provide Verizon services "whilte your on the go," the correct word should be "you're" which stands for "you are" and is the correct terminology, whereas your use of the word "your" is incorrect.
The only fix for this, of course, if for y'all to change your word.

 Now that you mentioned it ...
1.  Your use of "stand for" is incorrect in this instance.  "You're" doesn't stand for anything.  Rather it's a contraction of "you are," has the identical meaning, and does not represent "you are."  See for example:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/stand+for
2.  Your use of "terminology" is incorrect in this instance.  Neither "you're" nor "you are" is classified as "terminology" in standard English.  The correct word here is "usage."  See for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminology
It's always refreshing to encounter fellow defenders of the English language.

  • Can someone from Verizon help me? Wheres the shredded Constitution tab on this site? Is it on same page as burning US flag?

    Can some one help. There are multiple tabs on this site about privacy but i cant find the one with the shredded Constitution, the burning US flag and the video of the board of dictators/directors giving the finger to 110 million loyal paying customers.

    The quote is from the ultimate American Mr. Ben Franklin. didnt mean to question your motives but the fact that you found my question hilarious was upsetting. thank you for your service. I believe the oath  says enemies not terrorist.  i've been preaching for years that Big Brothers is watching everything we do. this is no suprise to me but it will be to millions of the sleeping hoard. the feds just opened a multi billion dollar NSA complex in the Nevada desert that houses the largest computer system in history for the sole purpose of collecting and analysing all the data they have on the citizenry. that money came from congress which they confiscated from us. Congress is acting suprised by this scandal but certain senators came out today to say this is no big deal its been going on for 7 yrs.and they were advised. they are co-conspiritors with the current and former prez in shredding the Constitution that they also took an oath to defend. be careful what you post about your arms, they are monitoring this discussion tonite because they know verizon customers are mad and they know where we all are, don't kid yourself that verizons not giving them your personal info and passwords. hell even the liberals are mad about this.

  • My preferences allow pop-ups and yet when I try to generate a letterfrom an online database I'm using for work, FifreFox "prevents po-ups from this site" Why?

    I need to access an online database to generate letters for an assigned project. I click on the appropriate link to generate letters, the file is conveyed to my downloads, and I open it using Adobe to create a pdf. This worked fine for the first 5 letters. When I tried to generate the 6th, a yellow banner appeared informing me that "FireFox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window" which prevented me from getting the letter into downloads to open in Adobe. Even though I don't have the pop-up blocker on, I clicked on preferences and found the site in question already listed as allowed. Why is this happening? How can I continue my work?

    * Go to your concerned website

  • E-mailing discussion posts from within this site

    On a couple of occasions, I have used a discussion post's "email" button (embedded next to the reply button) in order to send myself a copy of an especially pertinent post. Each time, when the page comes up in which I am to fill out the email address, etc., I notice that the actual body of the email contains gibberish code. (Most of this is
    at the end of each line).
    And yes, when I receive the email the code is indeed visible there as well, rendering the post quite difficult to read.
    I realize that I can just hand edit this before I complete my use of the discussion post's email feature. But...that seems like a clunky solution. Is something wrong at my end with the Discussion site or are others experiencing this, too?

    The markup you see in emails is encoded into our posts automagically by the by the forum software. Pressing Return twice, for example, inserts the <br /> tag into the markup, even though that line break tag isn't visible to us in the text field on a Reply page.
    This markup becomes visible in emails (presumably) because the email feature grabs the text from the source and attaches it to the email in a plain text format. The more markup that is contained in a topic, the more you will see in the emails you send.
    When you become a little more familiar with the markup you see in the emails it will become less obtrusive. If you really don't like it, you can always press command-P and save the topics that interest you as PDFs rather than using the email feature.

    Dear Forum viewers,
    With lots of digging and faffing around I have discovered what the problem was.
    A supposedly benign programme that had been running in the background for years,was the culprit.
    It took some finding, it is a complete b4st4rd!
    Uninstall 'Peerguardian' whatever you do.
    Problem solved.

  • Verizon VRUC-A (Verizon Re-Use Card-Amount)

    A short time ago in the District of Columbia near, near to me a store was visited, ready associates eager to accept any form of payment from needy customers, one of which, an Eco-conscience consumer requiring a VRUC-50 ( Verizon -
    Re-use card $50 amount) re-activated.
    Many attempts were executed by the readies (CSR's) & Jet-I (MOD's) alike, inevitably it became apparent more training was needed in the ways of the source.
    The question now being asked in this saga, is the VRUC-50 useless? Should efforts to get card service from Walmart cease? Maybe Allie with another CPSP (Cellular Phone Service Provider) after all they may provide the same services for less!
    Additionally it is concluded that the statement posted on the front of the cards, refill, re-use or whatever indicating unlimited talk, text & web simply is not true, only basic models does this apply, such as the lower grade flip phones.
    Despite the fact that the reverse side of the card outlines (in fine print) the terms & conditions are understood by the purchaser, the front is misleading & so the Samsung Galaxy story continues....

    Yeah, you should still be able to use that old sim, you just need to have Verizon reassign your number to that sim card... or you can do so online yourself at verizonwireless.com/activatenow. You will just need your sim number and the imei from the droid ultra.

  • Can an unlocked at&t be used on verizon now that verizon is using SIM's?

    Can an unlocked AT&T Galaxy s4 be used on Verizon now that Verizon is using SIM cards?

    No, because the AT&T model doesn't have the CDMA radios for the voice network that Verizon Wireless uses. The data probably won't work either because AT&T and Verizon Wireless uses different frequencies for their data networks.

  • The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST

    Hi,
    When trying with Postman sending a REST call to Azure Storage Queues I get:
    The MAC signature found in the HTTP request '***' is not the same as any computed signature. Server used following string to sign: 'POST.
    The code I have for creating the Authorization Header:
    var accountName = "my_account";
    string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["my_access_key"];
    DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
    string formattedDate = String.Format("{0:r}", dt);
    var canonicalizedHeaders = "x-ms-date:" + formattedDate + "\n" + "x-ms-version:2009-09-19" + "\n" ;
    var canonicalizedResource = "/my_account/myqueue/messages";
    var stringToSign = String.Format("POST,\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n{0}{1}", canonicalizedHeaders, canonicalizedResource);
    stringToSign = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(stringToSign);
    HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
    var signature = Convert.ToBase64String(hmac.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(stringToSign)));
    var authorizationHeader = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "SharedKey {0}:{1}", accountName, signature);
    return authorizationHeader;
    Anyone any idea what I'm missing/doing wrong?
    Additional question: do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?
    Thanks.

    One issue is with this line of code:
    HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(key));
    Please use the following:
    HMACSHA256 hmac = new HMACSHA256(Convert.FromBase64String(key));
    and that should take care of the problem.
    Regarding your question, "do i have to create for every message I want to send a new Authorization header? Or is there an option (as with Service Bus Topics) to create a header that can be used for a certain timeframe?"
    With your current approach, the answer is yes. What you can do is create a Shared Access Signature on the queue which will be valid for certain duration and then use that for posting messages to a queue using simple HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can i buy an iPhone 5 using verizon but use a tmobile nano sim?

    I am going to buy an iphone 5 but i dont know if i can buy it under verizon and use a tmobile sim card? I do NOT have a verizon contract and i will not get one in the future. Will the phone work? Do i have to pay extra to use verizon and will they ask for an account number?

    You can not currently purchase a Verizon iPhone 5 withou either already having, or establishing service with Verizon.
    The SIM slot in the Verizon iPhone 5 is apparently unlocked as they are legally prevented from locking new devices as a condition of having won an auction for spectrum in the US.
    There are known compatibility problems with T-Mobile's US network and iPhones, so even if you do get one, it will be effectively crippled on T-Mobile.

  • 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 Verizon

    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.

    Thanks & Regards
    Bhagiradha.P

    Hi,
    The real-time integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting was active at the time the CO documents were posted.
    CO documents could be not transferred to financial accounting on behalf of errors which are only known to occur in the following situations:
    - During mass processing such as internal CO assessments or distributions
    - Manual posting of individual CO documents is not possible if errors occur in financial accounting.
    - If real-time integration was not active when the CO document was posted, you must use the report   FAGL_COFI_TRANSFER_CODOCS to transfer these CO documents to financial accounting because they are not in the worklist.

    You can not upload your videos to iTunes.  iTunes podcasting section is just a directory of Podcast RSS feeds.
    You will need to go to a 3rd party host such as Libsyn.com to upload your videos and then take the RSS feed from your libsyn account and submit that to iTunes.

  • Is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

    is it possible to use an iphone 5s with contract(verizon) to use it in india after unlocking

    The 5s claims it has more LTE bands than ever. Which is does if you read the tech specs on it. If I was going to go there, I would do some research. If you plan on sliding in a sim card from a german carrier, what German carrier and what LTE bands do they use? Thats what I would do.
    There is a significant amount of LTE bands added on the Iphone 5s compared to the 5 yes. Will it work? It might depending on what carrier you plan to use like I said. I can't answer that sorry.
