Forum: Verizon Wireless

Hello everyone! I was talking with a few lawfirms/friends about how you are required to have a data plan with "capable phones" and you have no choice to purchase the phone and block internet (AND how this is the case with nearly all carriers). Specifically "forced contract, i.e., unequal...

Well, I received my OTA FRG22D update today and noticed that my Droid had been running very slowly. It would take forever to return to the home screen, and also scroll between screens. I decided to clean out as much crap as I could hoping it might have less things to index or cache and therefore...

My work uses sprint and since we are working in a very low signal area they have a sprint signal booster. Is there anyway I can use that signal booster for my Verizon phone?

I'm thinking of switching from AT&T to someone with better 3G coverage. AT&T 3G coverage is abysmal, but their customer service folks have been very pleasant and nice to deal with. A big change from dealing with Sprint. I still have nightmares thinking about months of arguing on the phone over...

Blackberry user going to Jamaica. Any idea what the roaming for voice, SMS and data would be? Thanks, Marc

Now that the AT&T and Centennial merge is done (as of the 24th), lets talk about the Verizon and Centennial merge. Has anyone heard any more news on this? Feel free to post any information you may have here!

I've owned an Incredible since it first came out and love it, :2thumbs: especially the ability to tether a stock (non-rooted) Incredible via USB with PDA NET. Using the PDA NET, tether adds nothing to my monthly bill. :clapping: Most folks are pretty excited about the Froyo 2.2 upgrade...

I recently activated a family plan with 4 phones on Verizon. The phone I personally use is a Motorola Droid. I am having a problem with the phone itself. It has much worse reception than the other phones on the account. For example, I am sitting here with both the Droid and Blackberry 9550. The...

I think that the title pretty much says it all. Would it be possible to have a data only plan (I don't even know if they are available) and then use google voice and the new feature in gmail with free minutes to make all your calls? Just wondering.

Last night I was looking at a spare phone I had laying around and it got me to wondering, if I activate the phone on PagePlus, would I still be able to use the phone on Verizon later if I didn't like the service? It's just a cheap phone someone got as a replacement then they upgraded so I don't...

Okay, anyone recommend the best means to deal with Verizon on how to fix the lack of roaming with TBayTel / Thunder Bay Cellular Mobility? We have the Nationwide Plus Canada which has worked flawlessly, except for several hundred miles within the Thunder Bay, Ontario area. This thread ...

My Droid X arrived today. Evidently when I ordered it, I got a 2-year contract instead of 1-year. Not sure whether I screwed up or the site did, but I called them about it that day. The CS rep told me it was already in the shipping/warehouse phase and couldn't be changed, but that I could call them...

I have had the worse year with Verizon Customer Service and just wanted to vent and warn others. I have been with Verizon for 8 years and this year has been the worse. I pay my bills on time and have been as patient as I could until now. I added my kids on with two new lines this year and that...

I just recently put an order in for a Motorola Droid on Wirefly. I just realized after the fact that it says this can void the contact and you can be charged $300 "You transfer this equipment to another carrier line of service after it is activated" I am on a family plan and the phone number...

I'm posting this not because I'm a Asurion fan boy but this was my one and only experience and it is different than most of the threads here about Asurion. So on Sunday I am walking along, turning up the ringer on my phone when I hear a sudden noise, turn and the phone slipped out of my hand and...

Hi all, I need to upgrade from my enV3 to a smartphone due to my job, and unfortunately I'm still 6 months away from my new every 2 upgrade date (contract ends next July). What are my chances of getting an early upgrade? I'm currently on the $39 plan (with 500 texts) with no data... I'd be...

These are still confusing to me, let me see if I can get this straight. With a 1 year contract you can - 1. upgrade at 10months with no discount off new phone price. 2. pay more for the phone up front (usually $75 or so), but only be locked into 1 yr. (or 10months) With a 2 year contract...

Hey guys. I have a data block on all my lines on my familyshare plan account. Does this preclude me from using backup assistant? I realize I would need to remove the block temporarily to download the backup assistant software, but if I were to put the block back on thereafter, would I be able to...

I’ve been a Verizon prepaid customer for 5+ years and have built up over $500 in credit. With the introduction of the Droid Incredible, I think it may be time for me to go postpaid. Can I get Verizon to apply my credit balance to a new contract, or give me some kind of a deal? Is there a...

Right now my wife and i are having phone issues and its started out as a problem between our two phones. If she would call me from her curve to my droid she would get a white noise or a push to talk type noise. this problem started when i first got my droid. and after having this issue for a while...

Is there an old plan that is anything like a sero plan that I could take over?

I will be going to Paradise Island in a few weeks. I am taking my Bold 9650 with me for personal stuff (work knows I won't be answering work emails). I will be going onto the Global Data plan when there (will not be answering calls except for my emergency contacts (pet kennel, family member,...

One you port out how long does VZW put a hold on your ESN before someone else can activate the phone, 18 days, until final bill is paid, etc?

We have 5 lines on our family plan. Two BB's, two Droids, and one Rogue. We all upgraded in March-2010. I called in today about a problem with a BB, and was told that one of the lines has been given a special upgrade even though it was just done in March. He said they are giving them to people...
