Why doesn't Verizon abide by the 4-day hold on In-store pick-up for an upgraded phone?

I upgraded my device online and opted for in-store pickup.  They showed me stores that had the phone I wanted in stock.  I selected the store I wanted to pick it up from and they said they hold the phone for 4 days.  I go to that store the day I made the Order and they tell me they do not actually have the phone in stock and couldn't tell me when the next shipment will come in.  They actually told me to go to an Apple store instead.  So I did that.  Then I'm at the APple store and it's not taking my log in information on my verizon account even though it worked when signed into the account from my phone. Apple people told me it's an issue with Verizon, not Apple. Still have not gotten my upgraded phone.

    Hi ilzostue,
Oh my! We are so excited to hear that you are interested in upgrading your line. The upgrade process should be easy, and I apologize that this is not happening. Which make/model iPhone are you interested in purchasing? You can also order the device online here http://bit.ly/nD0WuY .
Thanks,

  • Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?

    Why doesn't adobe just join the AAF/Turakiri/Incommon and accept Institution credentials?
    I'm just going through the academic purchase process. Talk about inefficient.
    Australia and New Zealand have established Access Federations which allow students and staff to use their own institutional credentials to log into web applications.
    Almost all universities and a lot of polytechs have joined these Access Federations.
    Adobe would be better off enabling federated login to prove that staff and students are who they say they are rather than use the current antique approach to validating memberships of insitutions.
    Go see www.aaf.edu.au or tuakiri.ac.nz

    Thanks for the suggestion Timu. I will pass it on.

  • Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when connected a computer?

    Why doesn't iPhone connect to the internet when plugged into a computer that has ethernet internet connection?

    Also, computers don't work that way either to share a connection like that. Just because you plug a device into a computer doesn't mean it can use it's internet connection that way.
    Windows Mobile devices have been able to use their host USB cable to connect to the internet, since at least the year 2000. (And vice versa, more recently.)
    It was actually a minor surprise at first that Apple didn't support it.

    Why doesn't iMessage show when the message is read, all the time?

    It depends on the recipients settings, whether they have read receipts set to on or off.  If they have it off, you will not be notified of the actual time they read your message.

    You can copy iTunes purchased songs over to your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, or have you tried going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and seeing if you can redownload them on your computer ?

  • Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod touch with 2.1 software?

    Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod Touch with 2.1 software?

    The second gen iPod Touch has firmware version 2.1.1(5F138) whereas the 1st Gen only allows 2.1 (5F137). Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's likely.
    Why doesn't Apple allow those with the Nike+iPod sports kit to use their external sensor on the 1st Gen iPod Touch?!?! I can't see why the sensor would be incompatible with the right firmware upgrade!!

    Open the Security pane of System Preferences and set it to require a password to unlock each secure pane. This is designed to stop people using the computer from changing the settings and won't do anything if an issue on the computer itself causes the change.

  • Why can't Verizon answer when the G3 will get the Lolipop update?

    When I had my Nokia Icon, I had to wait months and month and months to get the official 8.1 non-buggy official update. I asked Verizon monthly when I would get this update to have the same experience all their customers with OLDER phones were having. They NEVER had an answer. I cannot explain how ****** off I was because the sales rep that sold it to me explained it would be one of the first phones to get 8.1. Now, I have left the WP environment because of the sour experience, and I see that I have a phone again that is out of date. I understand it was just released, so it's different. Why can't Verizon step up to the plate and answer? Why cant they man it up to make the transition faster? Feels like the pretty just ignore everyone and tell them to **** off since we already give them money.

    @CitizenDigital, the answer can probably boil down to this.  There is a team of people that have to review this update when it arrives at the corporate office. Once the "paperwork" has been reviewed, the files need to be reviewed, then the update needs to be tested, then an entire rollout plan needs to be put in place.  The people in charge of officially releasing the update to the public are probably waiting on the group of technical engineers to give the thumbs up by some email or morning meeting.  Until they do, "Verizon" wont know when the update will be ready.  All they hear from the tech boys is Hold On, We're testing.  I work in a similar industry so I see how the ball rolls in situations like this.

  • Why doesn't a search show the number of instances found?

    I'm shocked that Internet Explorer does this but Firefox doesn't -- when I do a search on a page (ctrl-F), why doesn't it show the number of instances found on that page? See IE8 for an example. This should be built-in and not require an add-on, but I'll take it any way I can.

  • Why doesn't E71 recharge through the USB cable?

    When the phone is connected to a computer via USB cable, its battery drains continuously. I have to connect the power cable separately to charge the battery again. The battery (and the phone) is new and alright. Only won't recharge through USB when connected. Or is there some setting I'm missing for the USB connection?

    My previous SE W610i phone was bought in that year (the present Nokia one was bought just the last week). The SE model did have the ability to charge through USB. Guess my expectations are not too high, after all. In fact, Nokia is always pretty far behind the competition when it comes to the features' availability and their implementation. That's why it's falling behind in the smartphone arena.
    To add to what Psycho has already mentioned, your highlighted statement above is somewhat unfair. The various manufacturers all have their pros and cons and some are better at certain things than others. It is up to the consumer to make a to select the make and model of phone that best suits their needs.
    Since you brought up the W610 and to emphasise the point I made above, it too is lacking a lot of features that are present on the E71, such as gps, wifi, 3g. 3.2mpxl camera, just to list a few.

  • Why doesn't Verizon do something about their tech support?????

    Verizon Tech Support is definitely outsourced to call centers outside the country.  They are quick to offer an apology to your problem, but they make it very apparent that it is your problem.  If you do not do exactly as they instruct you to do, they will happily close out your ticket, and your problem still remains unsolved.  I have been through the ringer with them on more than one occassion about the same exact issues.  Each time that I call, I have to go through the same song and dance, eventhough it is the exact same issue that I have contacted them about before, and the issue is clearly on their end and not on my system.  On one occassion, I sat and argued with a gentlemen in Mexico that my issue wasn't fixed.  They said it was fixed.  I said it wasn't, and I would loose my DSL connection while I was on the phone with him.  Another instance, they disconnected my DSL because I have dry loop service and my home line did not have a dial tone, so the techs came out and disconnected everything.  Tech support was a joke then as well.  I was on the phone for several hours trying to convince them that it was an issue on thier end and not mine.They claimed that I had to be home for the repairman to come out, but I did not have to be home for them to come out and disconnect it in the first place.   Because I would not go through all their trouble shooting steps, they would close my ticket out and my problem would remain my problem until I would call them again.   It took an act of God for them to come out and get things reconnected again.  I actually feel physically ill now when I have an issue with my DSL because I know what it will entail just to get the trouble ticket set up.  I have had the operators claim that we have a bad connection (after being on the phone with them for over an hour).  They claim that they will need to call you back, but then they never do.  When I call back and check on the status, guess what, my trouble ticket had been closed out.   This past instance, I called and complained about a slow connection.  The same exact issue that I contacted them about over a month ago.  After going through the song and dance again, they claimed that someone would call me back in 24 hours, and no one has.  I have complained to the FCC and the State Corporation Commission on more than one occassion, but it seems as if it just business as usual for Verizon.  {please keep it relevant} I think that is the only way that they will get the message that what they are doing just isn't going to cut it anymore, and they need to make some changes.  I have cut my home phone line with them because of their lack of service.  If I had an alternative to DSL available to me in my neighborhood, I would gladly take it so I could finally severe all ties to that company.  There has to be something better than business as usual.

    {please keep it relevant}  I contacted tech. support on Sunday about my slow internet connection.  I was pulling 52 kbits/s on a 3M service.  This is the second time that I have had this issue.  The last time I contacted tech support about this issue was about  a month ago.  I went through the same song and dance without any resolution.  Somehow the next day, my connection was corrected and I was getting my 3M service again.
    This lasted for a month.  I called Sunday, 10/11/09 about a slow connection again, Same issue, only able to get 52 kbits/s.  Yet, I had to set through the same old song and dance with Verizon tech support.  We did things like clear my internet explorer cache and cookies and run a speed test, when I already told the foreign gentlemen on the other end of the line what my connection speed was.  How is that going to help improve my connection speed?????  At the end of it all, I was told that I would be contacted by a senior tech support specialist from Verizon within 24 hours.  Sure as the sun shines, it is now Tuesday, 10/13/09 and I have yet to hear anything from the senior Verizon tech. support..   The kicker is that I am not at all surprised by this.  This is now the norm for Verizon.  Yet, I still pay my bill.  I am still under my contract.
    I am going to make a prediction.  Next month about this exact same time, I will be contacting Verizon with the exact same complaint, a slow interner connection, and I will have to go through the same old song and dance and have to do things like re-boot my modem and clear my internet explorer cache and cookies and run a speed test, eventhough I have told the foriegn guy from tech support that I have already done all this.  Then, they will promise that someone from the senior tech support from Verizon will give me a call back within 24 hours and I will not hear from anyone.
