Question from Sgt Joker

Will verizon ever pull their head out of its big dumb corporate butt and offer an unlimited text plan. Not unlimited to IN users but unlimited to anyone. Sprint can do it why can't verizon get on the ball here? 🙄

Pioneer DEH-P980 Bluetooth car kit problems...

Hello, I just purchased the Pioneer DEH-P980BT car stereo with built in bluetooth kit and I'm having several problems:
1. It doesn't connect automatically when I get in the car (even though it is set to connect automatically).

2. The phone book won't transfer over. Every time I click "phone book transfer" the phone disconnects from the bluetooth connection.

3. I can't use the "voice dial" feature.

Does anybody have any advice? It is the same thing as the DEH-P9800BT so if you have that and it works let me know.

I have software version 04 of the V3C and it is set up with a hands free bluetooth profile.

Please help!

Verizon to pro-rate ETF fees!!!!!

I have to say I am surprised by this! 😲

NEW YORK -- Verizon Wireless is once again upping the ante when it comes to customer service. Speaking at the Yankee Group Wireless Leadership Summit this afternoon, Denny Strigl, CEO of Verizon Wireless, announced that the company will become the first carrier to pro-rate early termination fees (ETF) for customers who choose to leave Verizon Wireless before their contract expires.

Strigl says the company will pro-rate the fees based upon how long the customer has been with Verizon and how close his or her contract is to expiring. The new policy will begin this fall.

Strigl says the change is necessary because customers are unhappy with the fees. "Early termination fees are tarnishing the ...

The end of CDMA with Nokia?

Please forgive me but I've had some other emergency-type things to deal with over the last couple of weeks, so if this is old news, I apologize.

I just learned recently that Nokia's participation in CDMA technology is going the way of the dinosaur due to its failed pairing with another manufacturer (Samsung, was it?) I kind of thought with the release of the Nokia 6256i, this was the start of a good thing. Apparently not good enough, however.

I'd love to hear the direct and indirect people weigh in on this. One of Nokia's big plusses is the user-friendly interface for folks who are technophobes, or at least, somewhat intimidated by technology. It sounds like the plan is a done deal, but I'd still like some reaction to all of this.

Verizon has pleasantly suprised me.

This fall Verizon is set to make a number of changes to its contract and policies that have prevented subscriber from moving to another carrier or even to a different phone or calling plan on Verizon. Verizon will offer new contracts that will prorate the early cancellation fee for all new subscribers or subscribers who sign a new contract. In addition, the carrier will offer many changes to encourage subscribers to stay with them. Current subscribers paying at least $50 per month will be allowed to upgrade to a new phone at the new subscriber price after 12 months of service. They will also continue to allow subscribers to upgrade their phone for free every two years. If a phone stops working after it is out of warranty, Verizon will replac...

Moto Bluetooth quality control (cross posted)

I'm really upset with the lack of quality control in my Moto bluetooth headsets ... I've had (no lie) over 10 different headsets (820 850 and 700) and it seems like its a crap shoot ... you can get one that sounds loud and clear .. and another of the same model and its volume seems to be way lower .. I've had no less than 5 Moto 850's connected with my phones .. and some were all great while others terrible ..

Take my 815 which I've had with verizon since it came out .. I had 5 different 850;s hooked up to it and 3 where loud and clear .. connection was awesome and 2 that were low and hard to hear .. the connection seemed to be unphased but the volume of the piece was way lower

As well when I tried to connect those to my Cingular phon...

Unlocking Phone Features?

I just got my new LG VX8300 yesterday. I like it already.. just wondering something. I think I read somewhere that certain features on this phone have been locked by Verizon. Is there a way to unlock them? I have seen all sorts of advertising on the Internet about unlocking phones so they do everything the manufacturer intended them to do, but wondered if it would affect my service or harm my phone. Anyone know? Thanks!!

4th of July Specials?

Hi-
I'm eligible for my New Every 2 Upgrade on July 3rd and i absolutely cannot wait to get rid of a phone that has caused me nothing but problems.

My question is pretty simple...are there typically 4th of July specials (or even better yet, are there any planned this year) that would make it wroth it for me to upgrade my phone on that day? I would not be changing my service level, but I am planning on purchasing the Moto e815 and a bluetooth headset.

Thanks!

15 day trial period

I'm looking at upgrading my phone next week with my NE2 discount. Will the 15 day trial period on phones still apply when I use my discount? For example, I'm specifically concerned about the phone's reception and syncing contacts with my computer. If I have trouble with reception with a specific phone or trouble syncing contacts what's the policy on swapping the phone out for a different model?

Are there any "catches" i need to be aware or afraid of?

Thanks,
