Why doesn't my verizon prepaid phone work in San Juan, Puerto Rico?

I called before my trip and was assured my phone would work no problem. Now when I get here I can only text and receive texts. My phone(Droid Maxx) says roaming 3G and i can't call or use data. Have walked all over San Juan today and no luck. Although my dad was able to call me surprisingly around 3. Other than that though it's been horrible. Please someone help me. My fiance and I would like to use our data to post pics in real time and or use our phones in case of an emergency. She has a prepaid iphone 5 so getting either of these phones to work would be a blessing. Thanks!

  • Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?

    Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?

    Hey ran
    Sorry to hear you are having probloms
    I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you
    hope this helps

  • Why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk?

    why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk when other networks can?

    Hardware requirements of the iphone 4 do not meet the specifications needed for FaceTime over cellular data.
    4S and up do not require wifi for FaceTime.
    this is exactly as intended.

  • Why Is There A Basic Prepaid Phone That Costs $165?

    http://www.verizonwireless.com/new/prepaid/basic-monthly-plans/lg-exalt+monthly/
    Out of curiosity, why does Verizon sell a basic prepaid phone (the LG Exalt) that costs $165?  It doesn't even have waterproofing or ruggedness, and still costs $65 more than any prepaid smartphones that Verizon sells right now.  I'm not trying to complain, I'm just a little confused.   

    I don't think dilbertaz understood the question. None of verizons basic phones offer 4g. That's only in the smartphones and the jet packs. Also, the phone recommended isn't even compatible with Verizon wireless.

  • Why does Apple not support prepaid phone service?

    I was wanting to ask someone from Apple this directly. I have a prepaid phone from ATT and they said that the way that Apple sends data doesn't support the prepaid service. I was just wondering why they did that? If it was intentional? And if that will change any time soon or in the future?

    FWIW, I think it is supported, but not sure.

  • Why doesn't the Verizon Version of the HTC ONE (M9) have Wifi Calling?

    I have been with sprint for 11 years and recently upgraded my HTC One (M7) to the HTC One (M9). went to jamaica and was able to keep in touch with everyone free of charge with wifi calling. Once i returned i decided to leave sprint and come to Verizon. I realized today they dont have wifi calling on this phone. Why is that. isn't it CDMA like sprint

    They're planning on releasing it in mid-2015:
    Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) plans to introduce Wi-Fi calling in the middle of next year but does not see an urgent need for it, according to Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo.
    Speaking at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference, Shammo noted that Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus support Wi-Fi calling. He said Verizon needs to do "some technological work in our network to make it available," and it should come around the middle of next year.
    However, he said Wi-Fi calling was "never a top priority" for Verizon. "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call.'"
    He noted that when a call goes onto a Wi-Fi network, it's difficult for Verizon to guarantee the quality of service on that call, which is what Verizon has built its brand reputation on. That's a major reason Verizon waited so long to launch Voice over LTE service--it wanted to make sure it had adequate coverage that could replicate the voice experience of calls on its 3G CDMA network. Verizon has just started rolling out VoLTE service.
    Other carriers are moving ahead with Wi-Fi calling plans. Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T's Mobile & Business Solutions Group,  said last week that AT&T will launch Wi-Fi calling in 2015 but that the carrier will use it only as a complement to Voice over LTE or 3G-based calling. "We don't have this burning desire" to use it to enhance coverage, he said.
    The comments were notable in light of T-Mobile US' (NYSE:TMUS) announcement this week that heavily emphasized Wi-Fi calling and using personal routers to create Wi-Fi coverage areas in subscribers' homes. T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. carrier to support Wi-Fi calling on the new iPhone. Sprint (NYSE: S) also launched a Wi-Fi calling service for its Android smartphones this past February.
    In terms of other hot topics, Shammo said Verizon would not be leasing phones, as Sprint is doing with its "iPhone for life" offering with the new iPhones. Under that program, individual customers will pay $20 a month for a 16 GB iPhone 6, instead of $30 under normal financing. At the end of 24 months, they can trade in their iPhone for a new iPhone. The iPhone 6 Plus will cost $25 per month under this program instead of $35 under normal financing. If a customer wants an iPhone with more internal storage they will pay more per month. The leasing program applies to families as well.
    Shammo said Verizon offers its Edge handset-financing and early-upgrade program but that the "majority" of Verizon customers are still choosing subsidized handsets paired with two-year contracts. In contrast, AT&T said sales through its similar Next program represented around 50 percent of all smartphone sales in the second quarter.
    Shammo also touched on whether Verizon might sell its wireless-tower assets, saying the company remains open to it. In the past, doing a deal "always came down to price and terms and conditions," which he said have become more favorable. He said that Verizon's network is experiencing high demand and that the company would like to retain the flexibility to add towers or add network gear to existing towers. "It's an option for us," he said. "We continue to look at it, and we'll see what happens."
    Last week at a separate investor conference, Verizon Communciations CEO Lowell McAdam also said the company would be open to selling some of its towers if the price was right. "Those deals are coming to us a little more now, and if an opportunity presented itself to increase shareholder value" Verizon would be interested in pursuing it, McAdam said, according to Reuters. McAdam said Verizon received interest in its towers two years ago, but the bids weren't high enough.

  • Why doesn't this insert into XMLTYPE work?

    Hi again. Hopefully I'll be answering questions soon, but meanwhile I've got another one.
    I'm working in this environment...
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
    The encoding for the database is WE8ISO8859P1.
    in SQL Plus. I created a table with an XMLTYPE column stored as binary. Here's the desc...
    PS: BWDSTG> desc bwddoc;
    Name Null? Type
    SUNAME VARCHAR2(100)
    SOURCE_DOC_TEXT CLOB
    DOC_TEXT SYS.XMLTYPE STORAGE BINARY
    LAST_UPDATE_DATE DATE
    PS: BWDSTG>
    The following error also occurred when I created the same table with a storage type of CLOB for DOC_TEXT. Here's the error I can't figure out...
    PS: BWDSTG> insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    2 <a>&#8211;</a>
    3 ');
    insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LPX-00217: invalid character 8211 (U+2013)
    Error at line 2
    It accepts the command if I replace the &#8211; with plain text. Why does it care what the character entity reference is? It's changing the encoding pseudoattribute in the xml declaration to US-ASCII anyway, and this character entity should be perfectly acceptable. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows the reason for this (or what I'm not understanding, which as always is a distinct possibility).

    Sorry, let me try again. SQLPlus doesn't have a problem with the multiple lines, so I'm just trying to insert the XML.
    PS: BWDSTG> insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
    2 <a>&#8212;</a>
    3 '));
    insert into bwddoc (doc_text) values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LPX-00217: invalid character 8212 (U+2014)
    Error at line 2
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 310
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    My problem is that...
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
    <a>&#8212;</a>
    should be perfectly good HTML. libxml2 and expat both have no problem parsing it. They just leave &#8212; (which is some kind of a dash) alone. But Oracle XMLType doesn't like it for some reason. I need to load a lot of data that has numeric character entities like this but I can't 'til I get this resolved.

  • Two MAJOR gripes with iPhone Email - Why doesn't Apple get it? Work around?

    I'm in a business that for organizational purposes requires me to have dozens if not hundreds of inbox subfolders, on the iPhone this is PAINFUL as you can't collapse those folders, they are expanded by default and there's no way to change that that I know of.; real handy when you need to scroll FOR EVER to get to your sent items to check a sent email or sometihng. WHY?
    Second, for people that get hundreds of emails a day the "200 recent messages" selection isn't enough. This is a 32GB iPhone, why can't I download my entire 4GB mailbox to it? PLEASE? Or even 500MB of it...I could do this on a 6 yrear old Treo 700wx but not on the latest greatest "magical" iPhone? Come on'!
    I just can't beleive we're 4 versions into this phone now and they STILL haven't made these changes.
    Anyone know of a work around for these issues? Or maybe another mail client that can be used on the iPhone instead that would resolve this?

    Apparently Apple didn't like my response...posted, they deleted...nice.
    For the two of you saying "just use your laptop"...Of coures I use my laptop for emails as much as possible, however in my line of work about 20% of my time is in office, the other 80% is on the go and frequently I get calls that require me to reference an email from weeks ago...with my previous phone I was able to just dip into that folder, get the info and done; a few seconds at the most and I could do it at a stop sign or red light, or a speedy pull to the side...with the iPhone I have to pull over into a parking lot or something, get my laptop out, resume it, log back in, open outlook, dig the email out then put the laptop back and resume my travels. MAJOR time waster when I have to do this several times a day.
    I don't think your reply was all that useful and was more intended as a bash; keep in mind not everyone is like you, not everyone works in your field or the way you work. In some lines of work immediate response is required so we can't just wait until we get back to a computer as one of you suggested...we need to be on the go a lot, ready for just about anything and prepared to answer questions about something that occurred weeks or months ago at the drop of a hat.
    The iPhone is cool, it is a great device, but unless you want to see it stay as it is right now, features, looks, performance, etc and NEVER again change, I suggest you open yourselves up to the idea that it's not perfect and there are some changes that could be made to make it a much better device.

  • Why doesn't my unlocked nokia 5800 work on telstra...

    I have just purchased a 2nd hand 5800 that is unlocked. It works fine on the Telstra GSM network, but not on NextG.  When I do a scan it shows the optus and vodaphone nextg networks, but no trace of telstra.  Is there anyway I can get Telstra NextG on my Nokia 5800 xpress music?
    Thanks PJ

    I'm assuming what you're calling "NextG" is in fact just 3G/UMTS.
    Telstra use the 850MHz band for 3G. If your 5800 is not a NAM model then it won't work.
    The International model only does 3G on the 900 and 2100 MHz bands and the Chinese model doesn't do 3G at all.
    Type in *#0000# to get the software version of your phone. At the bottom of the screen you'll see:
    Type
    RM-xxx
    The only one that will work on Telstra is RM-428
    RM-356 is the international variant. RM-427 and RM-602 are Chinese variants with no 3G and no WiFi.

  • Why doesn't my incoming mail sound work

    I am using Mail 3.3 and in the preferences I have a "new mail" sound .wav file in the general tab
    and the box is checked for the "play sounds for other mail actions". The "other mail actions" sounds are working, and when I recheck the .wav sound it plays fine in the sample mode. However, the sound doesn't play in regular receive mail mode. Anybody have a suggestion?

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1538808&start=195&tstart=0
    This problem has been had since Tiger came out, there are so many posts about this, the one above is 5 pages long.
    I posted this post below on the 15th September 2007 -
    +At Least I Am Not The Only One+
    +It was good to hear the same problem I've had for ever.+
    +I was listening to Leo LaPorte's radio podcast and a lady rang in said her few months old iMac would only play the email arrive sound occasionally. She rang Apple but they couldn't fix the problem, so she rang Leo.+
    +At least I'm not the only one and Leo did not know how to fix it either, except to say to check System Preferences/Sound, and I know this makes no difference.+
    +I just hope Apple were listening and fix Mail some day.+
    I have asked here several times and on other forums and also reported to Apple, I have tried so many different ways to fix the problem including full format erase and new install, but all to no avail.
    Thunderbird works perfectly and will play any sound format, why not Apple Mail.
    I first thought Leopard would fix this, then the 10.5.5, but no.
    So disappointing.

  • Why doesn't masking with gradient layer work when regular gradient does?

    If I make a regular gradient over a layer, and make it's opacity 0, and have it on 'shallow knockout', it will knockout the layer below along the 'lines' of the gradient.
    However, when I make a gradient layer to do the same, and set opacity down to zero, it doesn't seem to work.  Why?

    If I was a more advanced artist, then I might know better when I can merge things and not, but right now, I'm a wanna be artist coming from an engineering background, where when I can't grok a whole picture, I break it down in to parts and combine them.
    Like when then hand didn't look right or I needed fingers to be relocated, I brok apart the hand and fingers so could relocate them
    separately then reshade them after they were in place.
    Another set of things i've kept separate (are about 50-80 'hair strands'  most of which have a unique color, then have a another
    layer for texturing -- painting the texture onto the color made it impossible to change the look of the texture when it was wrong -- and I've changed it several times, because it didn't look right or came up with a better process/way of doing it.  Then there's usually an effect layer on top of that to apply shadowing to the strand, give it a bit of 3-dimensionality, and sometimes multiple or add or something with the layers below for emphasis.
    On change I made -- which helped, I started with all 3 layers in a group.  and 'N' groups... (still have manny like that.. but a new section I started putting base strands in 1, group , then a copy of those layers, blanked and then painted with texture (that's usually brushed on )..., And it seem the only way to apply an effect to one set or the other (or both) is to convert them to smart objects, which still allows editing (but, unfortunately, also stores them in the same file)...
    My eye's, have grown.. ll starting out in a few things, then they got more complex... as I didn't know how to really make an eye look good, so I started w/parts...and ended up with 15 layers/eye (not counting groups... things likke eyebase white, irsibase base, iris color, (base is back to pupil layer somewhere above can punch through to a black layer -- at one point (but backed off that approach, even tried to put some nerves and veins on the iris base...)..... then there's the circles of fibers that make up the iris pattern, various
    tints for various fluids and transparent structures, .. YIEKS...
    Not making any claims about this being a best or even good way, but when you are learning, and especially whern you come from
    an engineering background where you are usd to building thigns up out of parts, .. you don't want to weld your parts together before you are at the final product...and even then, ..... what if you want to make a change?!...
    Again, newbie-problem more than likely...with too much software engineering background...
    Adobe should really have doing part-time work doing product usability/abusability/stability evals... I've pressed it over the limites more than once, and had to redo the way I do things to stay with in its relavtively easy (for me) to hit limits...
    Like the one I posted about the layers slowing things down... trivial to rproduce...yet sounds like Adobe never heard of it.
    Another parallel problem I ran into/noticed the other day -- when I MOVED, 90% of the layers (somehow they got out of alignment with 10% that were still in the origninal... could be related to a move/cancel bug I run into too often as well, which, fortunately, has a not too difficult workaround).  But I moved 90% of those layers, and it only used 2 cpu's out of 6 (and no GPU usage).... took about 45 -60 seconds .. it was a *simple* +/- xy, (no rotations).. so it was something that could have been done in parallel, easily and wouldn't have been compute bound...
    The other bug I've run into WAAY too often, is when trying to move an object, if I don't caefully try to nudge it with rotate, or move a
    side, 1st, but instead, just put my pen in the middle of the object, to try to drag it -- it almost ALL the time, selects some base layer and moves some large percentage of the layers -- in a visually corrupting way... since when you hit escape to break out of the 'free movement)., the parts don't go back to where they belong and stay offset and random places...
    But it's a visual problem only...I think (not sure how my 90% got moved),  -- if you SAVE the file, then make a slight change, and then revert to the just saved copy, it cleans all up.  so it's just the display that's messed up.
    Anyway, slowly over time, all the layers that I originally had a paint or gradient layers surrounded with a vector, I slowly (interspersed with other stuff) converting them to fill/gradient layers which take up comparatively no space.  Really speeds up manipulation of those
    objects as well...
    But it's slowgoing and the interface for creating a gradient to match an existing one is very awkward to use...It's too bad when you
    create a gradient or paint layer to BEGIN with, that it's not automatically created as a vector  Then, when you start to paint on it,
    it creates a layers sized to your painting applied on top of the existing fill layer...would save all the space take by the pixels that were formula driven...   Would be so much more powerful -- only storing as bits the things you need to store as bits, rather than defaulting
    to 'bits' for everything (which really consumes resources!)...
    Personally, Another feature but this might be specialty, or not..... but as I designed my things with parts, it would be nice to be
    able to specify XY coordinate tie points between layers -- so if I moved a layer shaped like a stick, attached to another stick,
    by 1 point at each end, changing the angle of the first would change the angle of the 2nd like a 'joint' -- not like a solid rod.... that
    would be VERY cool!..but not holding my breath on that.
    Just getting the current features to work would be nice...like the gradient masking layer... no reason that shouldn't work, but there ya go. 
    Maybe you know this one (unrelated...)... But I've more than once run out of temporary space (even with usually 130-150GB on my temp store.  The thing is, is that adoe doesn't use any of the extra 56GB I have in my Pagefile -- I can't tell it to use more than 100%
    of physical memory -- (i.e. so it would use part of the page file).  I have 48GB mem, and 56GB pagefile, that's on an SSD., I'd
    rather have it page to the SSD before writing temp files to disk...
    If it could force pages out, to the pagefile, before resorting to a spill file, would save on space and possible speed depending on
    the config...  But , eh, C'est la vie.
    Meanwhile, I's still ike to figure out how to solve the orignal problem, but I'm beginning to think it looks like a core bug...so it maybe hard to get around.
    Thanks for your comments!  As usually, appreciated!...

  • Why doesn't my iphone 4 camera work with no signal?

    I've noticed recently that my camera on my phone doesn't open when i have little to no reception. All i get is the closed shutter pic. The gyros are working because the little camera and video icons on the bottom turn when i turn my phone. Does anyone else have this issue?

    I hate to break it to you but I very highly doubt that it has anything to do with your signal and probably is a problem with the camera application itself it might just be a coincidence that it looks like it has something to do with your signal....

Maybe you are looking for
