Why is my Verizon air card treated as a dynamically assigned IP, which labels me as a spammer?

Why is my Verizon air card treated as a dynamically assigned IP, which labels me as a spammer? I'm blocked from sending email to folks with a Verizon address, and support blows me off. Is my only solution to through out my air card?

The problem was not with forums, it was having emails sent through my Verizon Wireless air card to Verizon Online customers with verizon.net addresses rejected. They were rejected because of Verizon's spam filter, and Verizon repeatedly refused to white list my dedicated IP address saying I was a spammer and that I was using a dynamic IP address--which was not true. After three months of effort and countless hours on the phone with tech support in India, Verizon resolved the problem--but only after I threatened to drop my air card and three phones which were due for renewal.
ironically... People in India often speak better english than people in the states.  More than likely unless you live on the East Coast you more than likely not going to get a call center overseas.  Pretty sure India doesn't work late hours as a country IIRC the last time I was there it was almost vacant at like 8pm.

  • I am getting the message "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer" when I plug in a verizon air card into my macbook air.  It also does not show up as a device on my desktop.  However, I select "ignore" and am still able to connect.

    Whenever I insert my verizon air card into my MBA, I get the message "the disc you inserted was not readable by the computer", with the option to either ignore or eject.  I select ignore, and am able to connect to the internet, but don't know why this happens.  Also, the air card is not showing up as a peripheral on my desk top.  Any ideas why this might be happening and how to fix it?

    When I unplugged (power) and plugged in again to restart it, yes, I heard it spin and click. Not since then though. I assumed it went to sleep and since the computers don't recognize it they won't wake it.
    If I need to replace it can the data on it be recovered?

  • Still trying to bridge to Verizon air card

    First, thanks to all who responded to “Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Getting Online & Networking > Bridge to Verizon air card”
    I’m sure that would have worked had I been more networking literate.
    I now connect via new MacBook Pro & Verizon UM175VW USB air card & still unable to bridge from my old PowerBook G4 via my wireless LAN. If anyone out there is able to do this, please let me know how.
    Now, the only way I can get online with the G4 is to plug the air card into it.
    Thanks
    Richard

    Thanks Richard, I thought so but wanted to be certain.
    I'm not 100% positive it can or cannot be done through the LAN, but I don't think it can, but might be possible if you want to really try that route... more on that if you decide that way.
    The easiest way to do it is...
    Enable Internet Sharing on the MBP only... System Preferences>Sharing>Internet Tab, From: Verizon card, (or how ever it's listed), To: Computers using Airport, then back to the Services Tab & check Personal Web Sharing also.
    Give it a minute or two, then on the PB>Airport icon, see if there's another network to join, (the MBP), if not toggle Airport off/on on the PB. Make certain in Network>Airport that various settings allow seeing a new network.

  • Why won't my air card work?

    Ever since I upgraded to Lion and iCloud, my air card won't work. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? All I get is a message that says the device I'm trying to use doesn't exist. It worked perfectly before. Thank you.

    Can you give us more details than just "doesn't work"? The exact text of any error message will help.
    Regards.

  • Mac Book Pro doesn't recognize Verizon Air Card

    After VZ Access Manager software is installed and the device is connected to USB, my Mac Book Pro will not recognize the device. Am I missing something here?

    Presuming you are using version 4.2.2 then if a reboot does not help, try resetting PRAM and also repair permissions.
    If none of this helps, I suggest contacting Verizon or wait for someone else to post here with more information.

  • Connect AirPort Extreme Base Station to air card

    How do you connect AirPort Extreme Base Station to Verizon Air Card?

    Sorry, but the Air Card cannot be used with the USB port on the AirPort Extreme because that port will only work with a hard drive and/or a printer.
    Suggest that you check with Verizon to see if they have an adapter or wireless router for the Air Card that will provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme.

  • Air Card and Lion--

    I'm having trouble using my Sierra Shockwave Wireless Air Card since installing Lion? Has anybody else had this problem? lt

    I have a Verizon air card and the first time I tried to use it with Lion, I had the same issue.  I noticed a new wireless signal indicator in the upper right hand status bar (just to the left of the Time Machine icon) and was able to go in that way.  It works like a champ.  In fact, I am using it now!

  • Problems with air card during storm

    anyone experience problems using the verizon air card during Hurricane Irene.  If so, has any explanation been provided

    Thanks. Some error reporting would be nice too in the event
    that it times out. I think I've fixed it on my side though. My code
    was checking right away after getting the load event from air.swf.
    I changed it so that it starts a timer after getting the load and
    checks every 5 seconds until it finds my AIR app. This seems to
    work since if it doesn't work the first time it works the second.

  • All I want to do is upgrade two phones ... WHY IS THIS SO HARD?  And, WHY CAN'T VERIZON DO THIS???!!!

    In the past month, I've spoken to dozens of Verizon reps on the phone, been disconnected a few times, been at 4 different stores, been told several different things by EVERYONE, been told "oh sure, we can do that" only to be told by someone else "no we can't" ... how can you run a business like this??!!!
    I AM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW I COULD SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    First, it was because our account was listed as a monthly paid cash account,
    then, it was because we were trying to get phones at a franchise store,
    then, it was because our account was set up as a business account (according to the Verizon rep I met at Wal-Mart, even though the Vz reps on the phone tell me it's listed as a personal account AND I sign onto our account as a personal account)
    then, we were told to order our upgrades on over the phone (but then we were told we would have to pay for the phones and wait for a debit card rebate to be mailed to us, which my husband does not want to do)
    then, we were told to order the upgrade phones online, but every time I try I get a processing error,
    then, the computer tells us to call a specific phone number if we believe the error was not right,
    then, the phone recording message repeats itself through multiple options TWICE and then hangs up on me,
    then, I call another Verizon number and get a "helpful" rep who tells me we can order them on the phone ... only to come back to me after being on hold and telling me they have gone home for the day,
    then, I try to get help online at Verizon.com and NO ONE IS AVAILABLE TO HELP ME.
    I've been to Wal-Mart 3 or 4 times, been to the local franchise store, been to a store in the Chicago area, and have spoken with Verizon reps on the phone until I'm blue, and, still ... STILL ... I don't have new phones.
    (removed) ALL I WANT IS TO UPGRADE OUR 2 PHONES ... WHY IS THIS SO HARD???!!!
    We have been a Verizon customer for over 16 years, apparently that means NOTHING.

    That is because the people who edit the posts are NOT CS agents but instead are people who are employed by the vendor Verizon has contracted to host the forum. I don't even believe they are Verizon employees, but employees of the Jive forum platform.
    For example, if a Verizon store had an electrician repairing the lighting in one of their stores, you wouldn't necessarily walk in and expect them to get off their ladder to assist you with information about a phone since they had nothing better to do than to work on the lights.  First of all, they aren't salesmen or CS agents. Second, they may not even have the capability to give you the assistance you are requesting.

  • Why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac ????

    why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac plzzzz help meeeeeeeeeee

    The reason no one has replied is that you posted in a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple software suite. I am asking the Hosts to move you to the MacBook Air forum.
    Also these forums are NOT chat rooms so you will seldom get an instant answer. No one here works for Apple; we are end users like you who volunteer on a time-available basis to help our fellow Mac users. Patience is required here.

  • Why is my macbook air so slow?

    why is my macbook air so slow?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|nspace-h|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Cellular air card

  • BM VPN causing dial-up connections to disappear - Air Card

    I'm having an issue with BM VPN. I have an end user on an XP laptop who needs to connect via BM VPN using his Verizon Wireless Broadband Air Card. The Broadband Cards are always listed under Dial-Up Connections in Network Connections, but after installing BM VPN, the dial-up connections are no longer there and if I try to manually create a connection, it is greyed out. Also, to no avail, the following services in XP are not turned on and for the life of me I cannot get them to start:
    Remote Accesss Auto Connection Manager
    Remote Accesss Connection Manager
    From what I've read, these services must be on in order to create a new dial-up connection. The Broadband card refuses to connect due to the fact that a dial-up connection cannot be created. The Broadband card and software were installed and working before BM VPN was installed. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling BM VPN, but that didn't fix the problem.
    Also, if I look under the Novell Client properties, Location Profiles Tab, VPN, Properties, Properties again, and finally the VPN Dial-Up tab, there is a message that says "A VPN dial-up initialization has occurred. Microsoft Dial-Up Networking is not installed." I don't know if this means anything or is related to the problem, but I thought I'd relay this information as well. I looked for ways to reinstall the Microsoft Dial-Up Networking, but all articles refer to Windows 95 or 98 installations. I've also reinstalled Windows XP SP3 successfully, but it didn't fix the problem.
    Has anyone else ever ran into a problem like this and can help me? I'm so lost and desperate for help. Thanks.

    I'm not sure how to recover on the system that is currently broken -
    though I suspect some form of remove/reinstall MS components should get
    you back running again.
    When you install the VPN client, and you select the dial-up option, it
    basically tries to integrate the MS dial up networking system into VPN
    menus. I don't think it really invents anything new there. If there
    is something non-standard on the dial-up entries, it may be that the
    VPN installation doesn't handle it properly. I don't know, because
    I've not installed that component or used it in years.
    What I would recommend is to not install the dial-up component on with
    the VPN client. Just leave it off, make a usual dial-up connection,
    and then launch the VPN client. The VPN dial-up component just
    tries to manage all of that so you do it with less button clicks.

  • Air card usage overages and cost

    My wife and I have your 10 gig wireless plan for our computer using the air card too connect.  First of all it's way over priced for what we get,  But even though our router is security protected from hackers we have noticed that the last few months we seem to be using a large amount of our data allotment and hence are being nailed with overages.  For this being a "family" plan it sucks.  We have to watch every thing we do, we cannot go watch any movies or any thing.  All that I can figure is that all the embedded video like AOL has in there news ect. is eating us alive.  This cannot go on with the prices you charge.  God forbid that I wanted to actually watch a U tube video as it would cost me through the butt.  Which your service seems to be doing now.  Your going to have to change to where we can get unlimited service with out breaking the bank.  I used to pay $20.00 per month and had unlimited service, this month with 2 gigs overage ran me a hundred bucks.  It's just not worth it for me to use mainly Face Book and AOL and to be stiffed this badly.  You are forcing me too find some thing else that isn't so costly.  We are on SS and just can't afford you folks.  I just want to know why the increase we seem to be having with out even doing the things we'd like to do online.  I would sure in hell hate to have a family with kids use your "family" plan.  I highly doubt that I'm the only person having this problem.

        Hi VaDan63 - We certainly want you to get the most out of your data plan every month and we do not want to lose you!  "Usage Details" at http://www.vzw.com/myverizon offers the ability to review your data records to see the time, date and amount of data used to help pinpoint the cause. Do you typically turn off the connection when the computer is not in use? Is the computer running operating system or anti virus updates when connected?

  • Air card recs

    Hi, I am traveling to some locations where I don't get good reception on my iPhone, nor do I necessarily have a Internet connection to which to attach my Airport Express or a local Starbucks to get wifi reception.
    Any recs of air cards that play nicely with Mac? Any gotcha's? (Verizon and Sprint are known to get reasonable reception where I'm going)?
