Auron posted:Just a heads up, Verizon does infact charge you for outgoing texts from Google Voice. They are considered out of network texts. So...yeah..you're not getting free texting with google voice as I've found out. But it's supposed to be data...  Edit: Hang on, are you using the actual Google Voice app? I know for sure that's data only.

Auron posted:At first I was replying using the stock SMS which obviously racked messages up, then switched to GV app and made sure that "received texts on this phone" was disabled on the GV settings and I"m still watching texts rack up on my verizon account. This is my current text usage for this period:  I text far more than that through GV. Those 8 are from me using shortcodes (because Google Voice doesn't support it) for that Taco Bell/PS Vita thing and the local transit authority schedule and one from VZW. You're doing something wrong.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:If I buy an Incredible 2 locally through craigslist, I have pretty much no warranty right? Nope, most manufacturer warranties do not move on new owners if the product is used. When buying used Verizon phones, insist on getting the phone's ESN to check with Verizon. You don't want to get burned on buying a blacklisted phone.

TPNMVZ posted:Is there an easy way to port my number to Google Voice for full integration under Verizon? I've heard of a twenty dollar fee to keep my number and such but I'm wondering if it will affect my contract in general. I am on a family plan with unlimited data so I would like to maintain those as they are right now. I only did it when my contract with another carrier was over with that I ported my number to GV. I'd give customer support a call, porting a number out of their system usually means you're canceling your contract and subject to ETF. I'm fairly sure you can change out the number, but keeping your old one could be an issue...

AppleCobbler posted:it works like poo poo on anything aside from sprint? It works just fine. Granted I ported my number to Google before starting my service with Verizon. Could you elaborate on how it works as you say, "like poo poo"? I get all my voice mail and text messages the moment they occur. I maybe missing out on MMS messages, but it's not a deal breaker as I rarely use it and prefer other methods for people to send me pictures anyways.

The Catalyst posted:I wonder if this feature will be DOA too (once the new plans hit). Since it's an add on feature, there's a slight chance that it'll remain live. That's actually included in the new plans in a no longer unlimited way. They won't be charging for mobile hotspots. So if you have a phone that supports it, then you're covered. Verizon Wireless Share Everything Plan posted:Mobile Hotspot is included at no additional cost for capable smartphones and tablets. Turn your device into a personal mobile hotspot and share your connection and your plan's allowance with multiple WiFi-enabled devices.

My GNex poo poo itself today and I need to replace it, but I have no idea if they'll give me a decent phone or if I'll get stuck with some shitbag phone that doesn't work or what. Most cases it will be the same phone if still in their lineup which the Galaxy Nexus should be. Otherwise, it'll be "equivalent" to it.

I know it exists as that's what the Best Buy rep was offering me when I got my phone on Black Friday. I want to say it was a 2GB and 4GB tier. Unfortunately it wasn't that great of a price and opted for the Everything Share Plan anyway since I was planning to bring my mother onto my plan with me.

Oh, then obviously my information is dated as hell. Circa 2006-2011 I had phone admin responsibilities attached to my usual IT day job and Verizon was very much into the "you need corporate data plan for Exchange and Good stuff" strategy. Good is garbage anyway. Never liked it.

It was still worth it for me to go the Plan because my Mother's phone is off contract. Regardless of me still paying the 40 dollar access line access on my line, I still went down 20 bucks on my bill with 2 more gigs added on top of what I had. Best thing is that she tends to run her devices into the ground so I don't have to worry about her upgrade for a good long time.

So I can't trade in 2 devices at the same time online? I'm trying to take advantage of that iPhone trade in deal (plus the new t-shirt plans to get the free 2GB per line thing) but once I set up the trade in on the checkout screen, I don't see an option to do another for the 2nd phone. I guess I have to do it separately?

The only thing is i have to go out of town for work for 5 weeks and the phone is estimated to be delivered in that time. Does anyone know how the trade in works if you do it online? I assume I keep my 5s until I get the 7 and then send it in? Is there a grace period to send it in? I'm wondering how this works if the phone arrives when I'm out of town.

Natural Laxative posted:Quick question. My girlfriend took advantage of the trade in deal, the Verizon rep said she would get 650 for her 5S trade in, she waited a week to send it in and she was talking to the rep and he told her that the credit had gone down from 450 to 350, so they're saying it will only be a 350 credit now for her trade in and she was told 650 at the start, any idea what's going on here and if we have a leg to stand on? Rep was wrong on all counts. 5S would have gotten her $400 dollars to start. $650 was for the 6/+ and 6S/+ only. When was the phone ordered? The deal ended on 9/30 and any trade in for that line should have been applied to that order date.

My phone was always in a case, in FLAWLESS condition. What in the gently caress? I had a bad feeling something like this would happen. $220? I think that's around the non-promo trade-in value. Sounds like something wasn't flagged for the promo.

Sweet. First phone got appraised today. They received on the 3rd of this month and got the email just now with the full monthly iPhone 7 trade in promo appraisal amount. I was a little concerned about the horror stories. The system works.  Hopefully my Mother's iPhone 5 will show up later this week and that is a little worse for wear being that it's 4 years old but hope it'll get its proper appraisal amount since it's still in good shape.
