Phone replacement

Yeah, so I just got sent my 3rd voyager and its starting to have problems. I called verizon warranty department and they said I get a comparable phone to my voyager. The only phone I can think of is the Dare. Can you watch youtube on the Dare like the voyager? If you can't, what other phones could I get to play youtube that is not a smartphone. Thanks

Firmware update for older phones

Hello,

Due to breaking my phone early on in my contract, I bought a new, yet older phone through ebay for a good price. The phone, LG vx8100, seems to work but I've noticed some potential problems with the volume and I'm wondering if a new software update would fix the problem. Anyway, my question is - how do I go about getting a firmware upgrade (if even necessary) for an older phone, like the LG vx8100. Do I need to go to a Verizon store? Can I do it over the phone with Verizon support? Or do you think they don't even support this older model anymore.

Thanks

Chris

Question About New Verizon Wireless Service.

I was trying to open a NEW verizon account.

I got all the way to the "submitt" page.

Does this mean there is no deposit, or they will email me if there IS one?

Thanks,

WW

VZ Nav Help!

so, in Oct, I bought a Pearl and added the data plan and all the stuff I needed for it. I also DL'ed the VZ nav for high end devices...and it ran horribly. It was slow and laggy and just impossible to use. Shortly after that, VZW unlocked the BB maps app, and I deleted the VZ nav off my phone, since I didn't need it anymore. I didn't pay too close attention to my bill, but the next month after I deleted it was about $10 less, so I had assumed it came off my bill as well. well, i finally looked at my bill and saw that I have still been being charged for it. I called in, and was told that they wouldn't remove the charges for me because they know I still have it. But I don't...and I don't know how to prove it to them over the phone. If I take i...

A little advice, please...

I will be integrated into the Verizon system soon, as I have Alltel service in Charlottesville, VA. I was a very satisfied Verizon customer in the DC market for many years, but after living in Charlottesville for two years, too many people were wanting me to have a local number, so I left Verizon and switched over to Alltel. I'm absolutely thrilled to be back with Verizon in the not-to-distant future, since so many of my contacts are already Verizon customers, and I'll get to talk to them free with the in-network feature.

Now, here's the rub...

I can wait and purchase a Verizon phone after the switch-over is done, and I'll be happy to buy one at full retail price IF I can keep my Alltel plan with my 10 "My Circle" numbers, all of whi...

Coverage Help!

I'm a manager of an at&t agent, in western part of VA.

currently moving to a very rural area (but only about 15 minute commute from my store, but besides that)

i checked verizonwireless.com coverage viewer and it shows id have CDMA coverage at the address (because we all know GSM sucks in rural areas), but can any VZW internal employee double check that for me?

also which are the best phones for coverage for CDMA (its been a while since i've worked with CDMA), is Samsung pretty dependable?

heres the address; thanks for your help!

it was pretty desolate. the woman programming my phone took me to a side office as she was having some problems with the main computer.

there was one other sales rep n the floor from where i could see, then this guy walked in.

the sales rep shrugged and did a so-so motion.
the rep then says "we got alot of trouble with the boulders? [no idea what that is}.

"also the glyde is giving us ****..five returns."

Authorized Agents... your store contract.

Hi guys,

I'm looking for an example of a contract you use between your store and the customer. I know several stores have them and they state if the customer cancels before 180 days then the store has the right to charge the customer or something to that effect.

If any of you have a contract like that and would be willing to share, would you please PM me and I'll give you my email address.

VZW indirect agents getting screwed by online promotions

Ok, starting off this is nothing to do with customers of verizon wireless, so please do not take offense to this if you are not an agent. For you indirect agents out there, how are you dealing with the recent online pricing and promotions? Daily we have customers wanting us to match the online prices and specials, which I do not blame them as a consumer. Almost all of the time it is a secondary upgrade where we would actually loose money selling them the phones at the stated prices online and if it is not a secondary upgrade we loose out matching the ne2. (as a customer they do not understand why we can not match the offer, get upset and never want to deal with us again because we look like shady salesmen) Now it is getting even worse wi...

Best new camera phone...

I have a 2 phones that are out of contract and I'm thinking about dropping VZW because I want really good camera phone. Does anybody know when they are going to be getting a 5.0 MP camera phone or higher? I looked at the Omnia but I have fingers the size of pepperoni and touch screens don't work for me at all.
