Why did Verizon come to the Alaska market when their coverage is so poor?

Even while using the phone in Anchorage, I continually receive a message that my phone is roaming to ACS's service.  I took my first road trip after signing up for Verizon and my coverage is extremely poor on the Seward and Sterling Hwys.  When I queried Verizon they stated that they only have 3G outside Anchorage.  Additionally, when I queried about Homer and Kenai/Soldotna service they stated they had "limited service" 4G LTE, in Kenai and possibly Homer.  This is in direct conflict with the information I was given prior to signing up.The techs on phone stated "that their data service was much better and the coverage more thorough".
I had better coverage and data with ACS. I will be returning my devices and having discussions with State folks about false advertising.
Beware study before you sign up.

I have the new iPhone 6.
I have talked to telephonic customer support twice to no avail.  Please view my file.
Even while in Anchorage, often when I attempt to make a call I get a message that I am roaming on ACS's network and must use the area code while dialing a number.
Further, on leaving the Anchorage area I drop to 3G or 1x service.  when trying to use my hotspot, I get 3G or 1x service in Homer.
I specifically stated I needed 4G coverage and was told that Verizon had agreements and I would have complete service.  I realize Verizon is just moving into Alaska and has some tuning to do, but I am paying full price, therefore expect full coverage.  Further, while dealing with this issue I receive email notice that my phone bill was due -$190.17.  This was a shock as I only had the phone 1 week, was told that may monthly bill would be $100.00.  So on checking, telephonically, since new hotspot internet connection was all but non-functional, I was told I had 2 device activation fees on this bill.  Again quite a shock since I was told Verizon was forgoing activation fees to set up it's new Alaska customers.
So yes, you are in the process of losing me as a customer.  I feel I have been deceived, lied to, and scammed.

    Ok, I have been on the phone twice now with customer support, all I want is an alert sent to my IPad for data usages !
    I want an alert sent to my iPad, or my phone, they can not, or will not do it? My phone is through at&t, Verizon will not except any phone number that is not a Verizon! WHY? my iPad is through Verizon, I know they can send alerts to the iPad, because they did it, they sent me a new password through an alert? I went over on my data plan because I did not get the alert in time, it was sent through email, a day late! Also, i asked about being able to serf the Internet and talk on the phone on Verizon, I was told that only 4G devices are capable, Wow,! I have been able to to this with my AT&T iPhone 3Gs from day one. I am now rethinking if I want to switch to Verizon? Is AT&T really that much more advanced?

    Only on the ipad 2 has the reminders i was told. Can u get my verizon app in the apple market? I did that for the iphone4 verizon. U can always sign in my verizon on ur ipad. Even if u switch to get a phone with verizon the ipad is on a different #.

  • Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
    If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
    This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

  • Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

    Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

    Hi,
    Apple in this case has to rely on what software is out there that can handle the amount of Traffic that these boards get.
    This is from the Brows Option the selecting People in the box
    Note the Number
    At the Launch of the new software this was at just over 2,250,000 and has now topped 2,300,000
    That is well over 50,000 people joining in just 2 weeks.
    Jive are the only real players in this market.
    To some extent the software is a one size fits all, much like the previous software was.
    We got used to the look and the Folder type layout of the Previous software.
    We ignored the foibles of where things were placed.
    Things are somewhat double edged in my view.
    I post mostly about iChat.
    I don't like that the Leopard and Snow Leopard forums that were are now "Refine the List"/Tag led searching to read specific threads. (not to mention that returning to "Dicussions" loses the "refinement").
    On the other hand those same threads and anwsers are now a lot more viewable in the OS forums than the subforums of before.
    As a regular poster I use a couple of Boiler plate things for a welcome message and my Signature.
    Some were made with TextExpander and included the HTML code to sttyle things slightly.
    These no longer work without going to the HTML editor.
    Posting link used to use the BBCodeXtra add-on to Firefox but this action is now included in the Regular and Advanced Editor. 
    That means I equipped myself and used things to get around shortcomings of the old software which is some cases I either don't need or need to learn the new way.
    I am sure the Style will morph as we go along.
    Of course some of this relies on what exactly you mean by:-

  • My iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?

    my iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?

    If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

    Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

    Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

  • Why did my upgrade to Maverick result in my not being able to access my Documents in the previous format? Why did I not have the option to change my 'filing' system to use the new 'Tags'? Had reinstall 10.8.5 to access my Documents

    Why did Maverick not enable me to access my Documents in the previous format (Grid) and when using the alternative I could not 'clik' to open them. The same applied when I tried to open documents from within my back up disc (LaCie). I had to reinstall 10.8.5 and back up from my LaCie (thankfully) to gain access to all my critical Documents? To deal with this I spent 3 and hlafg hours on telephone to Apple Support ( very helpful - but unable to resolve issues - then 3 hours in Apple Store (again very helpful but only able to assist by clearinng Maverick from my HD and reinstalling 10.8.5. Fortunately LaCie came to the resuce and I was able to back up Mac HD with all my documents but lost about one week of work....!!
    Why did I not have the option when upgrading to Maverick to select the new 'Tag" system which I did not want?

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • Why did you take away the feature that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

    Why did you take away the feuatre that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />
    You can use '''Firefox''' button > '''History > Restore Previous Session''' to get the previous session. <br />
    There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

  • Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

    Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

    Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet.  Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
    1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder

    Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
    I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
    And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.

    Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
    como lo dice aqui :
    http://www.cioal.com/2011/06/29/las-cinco-novedades-mas-importantes-de-mac-os-x- lion/
    3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
    y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
    mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
    Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion.

    Why did I get a 2011 model ipad when I just purchased it from apple?

    If you ordered an "iPad 2" (as shown in your profile), that model was created in 2011. The current model is called "iPad with Retina Display" (or "iPad 4" colloquially).

  • TS4022 why am I not getting the Advance options when I am in my iCloud account?

    Why am I not getting the "Advance" option when I am in my iCloud account?

    There is no 'Advanced' option at icloud.com. Is this a question of changing the default email address? I quote:
    In iOS 6
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Account (your Apple ID) >Advanced: Mail.
    Under iCloud Account Information, tap your email address.
    From the list of addresses available, tap the @icloud.com email address you would like to use as the default address for sending mail from iCloud Mail.
    In OS X Mountain Lion or Lion v10.7.2 (or later)
    Go to Mail Preferences > Composing.
    Click the Send new messages from drop-down and select the @icloud.com email address you’d like to use.
    At iCloud.com
    Go to the Mail app.
    Click the Action (gear icon) menu and choose Preferences.
    Under Composing, click the Set a default address drop-down and select the @icloud.com address you’d like to use.

  • I uploaded last release of CC (05/28/2014) but it did a mess on the entire pc: when I launched Photoshop it appeared a driver error on my graphic hardware; internet stopped to work and photoshop itself didn't respond.

    Hi, this morning I installed last upgrade of CC (05/28/2014) but it did a mess on the entire pc: when I launched Photoshop it appeared a driver error on my graphic hardware (I checked, everything was up to date nd correctly working) and Photoshop didn't respond; internet stopped to work too.
    The only way was to uninstall The CC App and create a restore point after uninstalling  (It wasn't possible restore a previous one BEFORE the upgrade of this morning....)
    My Processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU @ GHz  2.40 GHz
    RAM is 8GB
    What do I have to do?
    Reinstall it without upgrading it?
    I would really appreciate that upgrades would be tested before being released.... -_-

    Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.
