Working with Verizon to get blocks wired for fios, only to be ignored!

I own an audio video home automation company for 12 years now. Since fios came out I have been recommending it. I have 2 square blocks in Brooklyn,NY with no cablevision and no fios, my customers have to deal with DSL and Direct TV, two of the biggest nightmares for a installation company.
For almost two years now I have been walking around with Verizon engineers,sales reps,wiring contractors for Verizon,I've even had the home owners sign off on the necessary paperwork to install fios in the back yards for fios. I did all the leg work. All for my customers.
The people I've been in touch with will no longer return my calls, its really not very nice. So I had decided that if this post doesn't get a Verizon big wigs attention I will personally walk cablevision through the process and block Verizon from getting onto the property that has the entrance to the 1st pole on the block and the manhole for the underground conduits that hit the 1st pole since it sit on my customers property, and they'll listen to me because they are **bleep** off with the promises that were made to them by Verizon.
1st snag in the install was the strike, then the 2nd was hurricane sandy which are over a year apart.
Don't know what else to do besides telling my customers to avoid fios. Even though its a great service.
I don't know what the next step is.

and if you accidently use it and get charged you will come complain about that.
read some old posts.
Each to his/her own etc, but I have never understood the attraction of using smartphones only on wifi.
Smartphones are fun/great/choose-your-own-adjective, but for a number of tasks they are much less capable than a laptop. So, where I am sure of wifi, especially at home or work, I would prefer to use a laptop/tablet Smartphones come into their own, in my opinion, where you can use them when you wouldn't have a computer. I love using my phone on CDMA and GSM data when out, but the only time I would use it on wifi at home for instance is when updating the apps or something like that.

Apple Mail Still Will Not Work with Verizon

Greetings to All:
Sunday, March 24, 2013
I've been trying to get Apple Mail to work with Verizon email for some years without success. I read the boards and find that this is not an uncommon problem. I received the new server settings for Verizon email today and eagerly plugged them in thinking this would solve my problems with receiving Verizon email, but, alas, it did not. Microsoft Outlook does a dandy job of pulling in Verizon email, but Apple Mail cannot. It's ridiculous that I should have to jump over to another email app to open one email account. All of the settings have been checked and double checked and the machine rebooted as the instructions mandate.
I don't understand what the problem is with Apple Mail and Verizon email. Apple Mail pulls in just about every other email service without flaw. Does anybody out there have any insight into this?
-Dr. John

I am beyond frustrated with this issue. I've just spent 90 minutes on the phone with verizon support and it couldn't be fixed. I was told to call Apple. HAH! "Please call during normal business hours." Would anyone know what they are???!
I did NOT have trouble until I changed the servers, per Verizon's request. I am so happy I didn't futz aroudn with my iPad.

Lion email does not work with Verizon FIOS - Eudora does

Recently I have not been able to send email using my Verizon outgoing server on the Lion email client. I can receive OK, but the server keeps rejecting something and a window pops up asking me to select a different SMTP server.
Before I called Verizon, I decided to see if there were any free eMail clients I could use as a test and the new Eudora showed up when I did a "Bing" search.
I just installed Eudora and after a very quick setup, I sent a message using the Verizon server without any problem, the mail coming into both the Eudora and Lion mailboxes.
So the problem is not with Lion, but with the Lion eMail client. I know Verizon does not officially support Macs, but since Eudora works, I have localized the issue to the standard Lion email client.
Anyone else have a similar experience with Verizon or some other ISP in not being able to send eMail?
First, Eudora is an answer. Second - I would like to resolve the problem with the Lion eMail client - it must be some obscure server setting. I know that it used to work, but I am not sure whether it was with Lion or Snow Leopard. Usually when I send an eMail, I use Cloud and was using MobileMe so I did not notice whether or not Verizon's SMTP server was working.
I noticed it today when I could not reply to an eMail that came in on one of my Verizon accounts.
Here is the Eudora URL
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Eudora_Releases
Click Mac Disk Image and voila! there you go.
(works for me)

Thunderbird might work, but as long as Eudora is working I am happy.
The built in client used to work with Verizon which is what puzzles me.
I think you are right, the MacMail app is primarily for cloud these days.

Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey

Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey can anyone help me please..

A Verizon-model iPad can only work on CDMA with Verizon. You cannot use it with any other carrier. Apple, to my knowledge, has not released the iPad in Yemen, so there is no iPad you can use with any carrier there that works only on CDMA. You would need to find a GSM carrier and then get an unlocked GSM iPad.
Regards.

Unlocked t mobile Iphone 5 work with verizon

Hi, I recently bought an unlocked t mobile iPhone 5, but I have Verizon. Will the phone still work with verizon? And if so, what do I have to do to get it working?

To be completely sure, here are the different models of iphone 5:
Model number on the back cover:
A1428: iPhone 5 (GSM model)
A1429: iPhone 5 (GSM and CDMA model)
A1442: iPhone 5 (CDMA model, China)
(from Apple support website)
So seeing as your iphone was a TMobile device, which would mean it has to be GSM capable, this phone is either an A1428 or A1429. If it is the A1429, that means it also will support CDMA, so you should be good to go on Verizon. If it is the A1428, not so much.
So yeah, just take a look at the back of your phone, and you shall find the answers you seek.

Does the unlocked model of the iphone 6 4.7 work with Verizon?

im looking to buy a unlocked iPhone 6 and I was told on the phone it work with Verizon but I want a 2 nd answer before doing so

At&t is crap in my town and T-Mobile only has 2G and I don't want a contract so if I go to Verizon and buy a phone outright would it be unlocked ?
To be specific, While Verizon is a CDMA carrier its LTE network uses GSM and as such sim cards which would be fully supported on an unlocked iPhone. However, in the event you are in area without any LTE coverage, the unlocked iPhone 6 would be unable to revert to Verizon's 3G CDMA network or anything else so the iPhone would be without any kind of service at that point.
In short if you plan on using Verizon, buy a Verizon iPhone. The GSM portion is unlocked for international carriers and you will have no issues on Verizon.

Does a1530 work with Verizon?

Does a1530 work with Verizon? I know a1530 doesn't support cdma but is LTE wavelength compatible?

If the phone was not sold as a Verizon phone, it won't work on Verizon's network.

Does Convergent really work with Verizon for Collections?

Hi There!
I had some issues with Verizon a few months back, i won't get into the details, but needless to say i was ****** off enough to cancel my service after 11 years of being a customer.
When they added up my last bill + termination fees it was around $1000, i don't tend to have that kind of money laying around, so i offered to make payments of a few hundred bucks a month ($200-$300) and was told that wasn't good enough, if i wasn't going to pay half at once they didn't care.
So i have let it sit there and kept contacting back to see if i could set up a payment plan.
I just got a letter from a Convergent Solutions the other day saying they are handling the collections on the account on behalf of verizon, and they have offered me a settlement for 60% of the debt. However, when i googled them, there are a lot of blog posts and things about them being a scam, and people who have paid them but still been contacted by verizon for the balance they owe. There are also over 200 disputes that had to go through BBB to be resolved.
I have contacted Verizons Customer service and gotten no response
So my questions are:
1. Is convergent really working on behalf of verizon, and if i pay off the settlement with them, my account will be rectified?
2. Convergent says they do NOT report any accounts to credit agencies. However they cannot promise that Verizon will not report it as negative, even though it's been paid. (Potentially negative as "Delinquent: Paid/Closed") Honestly, if it's still going to show up as a negative on my credit, i'm less motivated to fork over my whole tax refund to pay it off....so i would only want to pay it off with an agreement from Verizon/Convergent that it will not be reported to the credit agencies.
Anyone have any advice/suggestions? The settlement offer expires on 1/31 so i'm on a short timetable, lol.
Thank in advance for all your help!

Hello lookn_glas_shrd,
I think the majority of us have been in the position you're in, and I would like to help you with your situation. The amount of information I am able to see depends on how long it has been since the service was disconnected. I would have to access your account information. I assure you that I am an employee of Verizon Wireless. Please send me a DM (Direct Message) with your name and your mobile number, as well as the zip code of your billing address. If I cannot view the necessary information, I can assist by pointing you in the right direction. Once I see the account, I will be able to gather the necessary data and provide you with 100% information. More importantly, you will be provided with peace of mind in knowing exactly what's going on and how we can resolve this together.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Settings to get wireless router to work with verizon DSL modem?

I have a friend who lives in NYC who's roommate has verizon DSL service, and they're trying to get their Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router working with it so my friend can use wireless with her laptop. They're clueless with networking things, and I'm only familiar with setting routers up for Fios and cable service. I know DSL settings are different and I was hoping somebody could tell me the important ones to use on the router for Verizon DSL in NYC. Right now the roommate is just using a little 3"x3" black modem connected to her computer with an ethernet wire, but they don't know what model or anything the modem is. Can anybody tell me what settings I should use when I login to the router and configure it? Thanks

Perhaps this may help

Progams that work with Alltel and Suddenlink are no longer working with VERIZON (IRC)

I have worked this issue TO DEATH already and am getting FED UP!
I have been polite and nice and called customer support to get very short and not very explicit answers to this issue.
Complaint #1: When I call technical support and ask questions more complicated than " How do I plug in my computer?" they inform they are transferring me to TECHNICAL support. Okay so who did I call in the first place if not tech support.
Problem: IRC ( Internet Relay Chat) Is one of the main things that I enjoy doing online. Some do games, some do work. I do it all through my little IRC program. When I was with Alltel and had my little blackberry pearl. I could even get onto irc just fine that way. Getting on via a cell phone is kind of a pain. Small keyboard and lots of typing isn't my idea of that relaxing but.. okay whatever at least I could get on. Since Alltel became Verizon I was told to upgrade my phone to the brand new Blackberry Curve. Well now IRC didn't work. I upgraded to the LG Vortex. Now it works on my phone. So I upgraded my wireless card too and IRC worked just fine for a long time. NOW we are back to the same old same old.
For those of you not familiar with the program just wiki it. I have been told by NUMEROUS customer support reps that this program is not being blocked so this is the list of things I went through to make sure it was indeed NOT me or my computer.
Step 1: System restored before most recent updates to the last date that it was working.
NO GO
Step 2: Disabled firewall and virus software temporarily and even turned down my security on my browser
NO GO
Step 3: Re updated my computer and updated my firmware on my MIFI2200 card.
No go
Step 4-7 Called customer Support
NOPE.
Still waiting. I am paying for a service that is not providing. My entire family was with Alltel and is now with Sprint. I just keep asking myself why am I still with Verizon when all we ever do is fight. I hate to admit it to the kids but I think it's time for a divorce from you if we can't get this issue resolved. Before upgrading to these devices I even asked store reps if irc programs would work and they assured me " OH YES! With these new upgrades things will be better than ever!"
I realize to some this seems like not a very big deal, but when I am paying for a service so that I can come home relax, maybe take a few art commisions while chatting on irc and all the sudden I either can't use it or can use it when I couldn't before it's amazingly frustrating. I have taken my computer over to other people's houses to see if turning my security all the way back up as well as my firewall made a difference, but on any provider OTHER than verizon I can connect just fine.
Tell me WHY Verizon. Tell me why you either can't fix this.. or won't fix this.
Security issues? That's my problem. If I want to connect to a DNS server based program that connects via different ports.. that should be MY decision. You should NOT get to make that choice for me.
It's amazing I went to the customer support for IRC and they told me that Verizon doesn't allow you to use IRC. I have checked NUMEROUS boards and discussion forums only to have them tell me that VERIZON does NOT allow you to use IRC. However when I talk to Verizon they say " No it must be you.. " Well I am not taking that excuse anymore. I've done my share of work on this problem. Now it's your turn. Sorry to be rude.. but I paid for the mIRC program, and take artwork commisions over it as well. I probably pay more for verizon's service than I would with sprint (so says the rest of the family).
Please give me some real answers and real tech support.
Thanks for any help.

I choose option 3. The moment I talk to them about anything more complicated than the bare basics of getting connected they tell me they will transfer me to " tech support." Very frustrating lol. I always wonder who I was on the phone with prior to that because it says Tech support but clearly there must be different levels of their support lines. Sometimes I get someone who will talk and work with me, but generally I get someone who says " Okay I have down your issue and I'll pass it along.." then they hang up. However I have been transferred twice in one sitting from "tech support" to Tech support. So I dunno. I think they don't have an answer and so they run me in circles.

IPod Touch not working with Verizon fivespot modem

I cannot get my iPod Touch to work with my Verizon Fivespot hotspot. The hot spot shows up in the WAN settings, but when I try to reach the internet it says it is not available. The Touch works fine with my home hotspot. Any ideas?

Do other devices work with it? What says "not available"? Is it Safari when you try to connect to a website? If you go into the network settings what IP address is assigned to the iPod? Do wifif arc show on the upper left? Have you looked at the documentation for the Verizon product?

Setting up Time Capsule to Work With Verizon DSL

I am not able to establish a new network using the Time Capsule I just purchased. The funny thing is that the capsule is replacing an Airport Express that works just fine. Same cables, same location, just that the time capsule cannot get an appropriate IP address from the DSL modem. Anyone have any experience in setting up the unit (using Airport Utility) to connect with Verizon?

I realise that, because it's 802.11g the MacBook will not be able to achieve the potential connection speed of the 'N' Time Capsule, however, even if I had the TC, with a G4 PowerBook on the LAN everything would connect at the (lower) 11g speed anyhow, wouldn't it?
As you have already ascertained, any 802.11g device connected to a 802.11n network will only operate at the highest available bandwidth that 802.11g allows ... mainly 54 Mbps. In addition, when even a single 802.11g device connects to a 802.11n network, 802.11n clients will only get about 70% of 802.11n's top bandwidth. To get around this, you can configure a "dual band" network. With this type of network, you can run both "g" and "n" clients on separate network to get the highest bandwidth possible for each. So, in your case, the Time Capsule will run a "n" only network and your AX will provide the "g" only one. The AX would be connected directly to the TC by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge so clients on either network would "see" each other.

Working with Verizon to get blocks wired for fios, only to be ignored!
