Yeah I seriously doubt that they would replace it with Another dev edition.

They normally do issue a discount to fire medical and police. All you would need is a work stub from your placing of employment or if you have a work email they can verify the discount through your job. And roughly I'd guess around 15%.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Have you tried wiping the phone back to stock to see if the issue is still present? Or attempting any software update from Samsung that would help fix the issue?

LOS

I just started my services with VZW on the 2nd. And my wife and i have had alot of LOS ever since we got our new phones from tele.a.sales we got the reconditions Note 3. we really like our phones (But) we really also miss the Rooting. I am a Pageplus Dealer and when we were on Page+ services (yes there are using VZW towers) but we never had these issues and i am thinking about canceling my contract had head back to Page+. Any advise please. B4 I make a choice.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
I must say that is quite mind boggling and that is correct. Page plus does use Verizon's towers. Have you tried a SIM card swap?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartyDroid:
Yes we Did. We know long have the Note 3's we traded them in back to VZW have 8-9 days of the same problem. So they just upgraded our phone now to the S5's. which I have tried and re-tried a lot of rom flashing trying to find one that makes me happier. I really like the Note 4 UI. So I am trying to find a note 4 UI to put on to my phone. everybody is trying to port over the S6 UI which I found that I truly do not like the Rom because Samsung did away with hiding unwanted apps.in the upper right corner were the 3 dots are in the top. now it is just edit or done. personally that really sucks just my option. sorry for the rumbling on.

Thanks for the reply back though.

Best Possible Solution for everyone?

Here are the details of the account...

Line 1 Primary Account Holder (Nationwide Talk & Text Share 2000)/smartphone (Data 5GB): Upgrade available on 08/20/2016 but underneath it shows upgrade available via the Special Offer Early Upgrade.

Line 2 Dummy/Nationwide Talk & Text Share 2000(Data pay per use): Upgrade available on 03/28/2017 but has a eligible for early upgrade.

Line 3/UDP/Nationwide Talk & Share 2000/Smartphone: Upgrade Available since 10/25/2015

Line 4 Dummy Phone/Data Pay Per Use/Nationwide Talk & Share 2000/ Next Available upgrade is 12/07/2015: no upgrade available no special offer for an early upgrade.

The Finanical porprotion of this:

Line access is $9.99 each (4 lines)

data is $79.99 ($50 for 5gb and $30 for UD)

voice is $80, Messages ($30)

products $30 (total mobile protection $10, ringback tones $1.99 (.99 X 2), Total Equipment Protection $16 ($8 X2) and Roadside Assistance $3...

1) How can I get more data for Line 1? Clearly, Line 1 can go to The Verizon Plan and move Line 2 also for around the same price right?

2) Line 3 and Line 4 are together. L3 uses L4 for upgrades...

3) In the future could L3 being on the Nationwide Plan continue to move upgrades to L1 since it's a TDP now?

Aside from the user name.

I'm really just a beginning college student very interested in this field.

My question is.

What path did you take to get where you are. And what do you recommend for getting there?

Basically I always wanted an associated job with Verizon.

Not really a sales rep.

But someone more meaningful to the development of the company.

Back ground info (if it matters):

I have lived in this site since I first found it through Max.

(high on Android)

I've had about 13 phones in the last 2-3 years. Mainly the galaxy family phones.

Rooting, modding, flashing, or whatever else xda had to offer.

I follow all the latest devices and their specs.

Basically anything new in the Android world.

I have Even bought a iPhone 5 and ran the beta ios7 before it came out just so I can have a more open mind to the mobile community.

But I really enjoy fixing and improving these phones through software and hardware.

Thanks for all these questions you have been answering. I read most of your answers to them regularly now.

Haha but yeah. Thanks again.

Mhm...well as far I got where I am from just being a huge fan of technology especially anything to do with phones. In high school I was an apple freak starting out with the ipod nano, touch then eventually the iPhone. Then once jailbreak for iphones first came out I started going crazy over jailbreaking and like wise for android. Then once I realized how big of a fan I was for cell phones I said to myself that I always wanted a job working with a cellphone company especially one of the major carriers. Always wanted to work for att for some reason. Trust me am very surprised I ended up even working for verizon. After high school I started working for adt doing door to door sales. Earned great money through adt plus a lot of customer service skills and sales skills through adt. Eventually I changed careers and started working for boost mobile the prepaid subsidary of sprint for a few months. After killing it at boost mobile I decided to go after worling for a major carrier. Interviewed for sprint corporate and didnt care too much for sprint especially since in my area sprints lte network is not yet deployed and since everyone wants 4g devices I said let me see about att and verizon. Ended up working for verizon and loving it. Very few stores carry repair centers. ..very far and few to be exact. As for development of the company try to get into management. Verizon management is pretty good. Or since you like developing software have you thought about applying for a job with a major manufacture such as samsung. Every once in a while samsung does hire for multiple job posts. Apple is also a good company to work for. Or even google

I'm on a family plan and one line is grandfathered on unlimited data. Any way I could get the loyalty program offer 6g for $30 on one of the other lines? Or is it strictly for the those who lost unlimited? Thank s in advanced
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Unfortunately the loyalty 6gb is for customers wanting to upgrade to a new device and throughout the upgrade process will be losing their unlimited data.

I recognize your just an account rep, but foward this complaint for me if you dont mind.

Why dont you tell the big wigs that charging us a restocking fee for returning defective devices is crap???

I returned a Galaxy S4 for a replacement since it was getting really hot and draining its battery, for another... that had the same issue. I eventually asked for a refund, and they SAID I HAVE TO PAY A RESTOCKING FEE!!! why would somebody have to pay a restocking fee for a defective phone that is being sent back to Samsung, all that is, is a money grab from customers, that and upgrade fee's. Verizon seems hell-bent on nickel and diming its customers along the way. That, and Verizon Rep's are not polite, they dont act like they give a crap about what you want, they just try to sell you on anything they can, mostly crap we dont need!

And stop trying to rule over our devices, by loading them up with self serving Bloatware that makes our devices run slower and eat up battery. Also, stop locking bootloaders down and forcing us to have the bloat crap we dont want! most people dont actually have a need for bloatware... it only serves VRZ. I dont want to spend $700 for a product that is nuetered and controlled by a snooping corporation like Verizon.

One last thing... STOP FREAKIN BLOCKING GOOGLE Devices, I think its BS! that Verizon refuses Nexus Devices just on the bases they wont take Verizon's bloatware and wont submit to the control of Facist Verizon. Good for them! but you deny your customers access to Google Nexus devices based on this selfish notion of "If I cant have my way then we wont sell it" GROW UP and quit lying to your customers when you claim "Device Certification Non sense" !!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Yeah no problem. And im sorry about all your frustration my friend and yeah having to pay a restocking fee for defective devices such as your scenario is criminal. And did you call customer care about the issue? Was this a premium retailer you returned the device to or a corporate store? And yeah I see what your saying. We dont currently carry any google nexus devices within our lineup. I never even thought about it. I havent even had one customer asked me why we dont or even asked me if we carried any google nexus devices. I understand that you may like the nexus phones but I guess verizon just figures the nexus devices arent popular. Crazy how it sounds yes. As far as receiving poor customer service I do apologize for any inconvenience caused. Wish I could do something about that but I can only really control what happens at my store and a few others. Corporate emplyees at the stores act like remote controlled zombies. They are programmed like robots. And I know what you mean. Its like they dont even listen to what your saying. Ive seen customers going to a corporate store and basically do a laydown sale and the rep didnt even pay attention to what the customer said instead of doing the laydowm sale they insist on trying to sell the customer a different device than what they customer came in and told them they wanted to buy that day in store.

And um...samsung has the whole cellphone market flooded with device. Everyday we hear of a new samsung device being released. Amd motorola have been pushing their devices a lot as well. And as a matter of a fact all our smartphones or the majority of our devices are all samsung and Motorola. We even pulled blackberry devices from all of my stores. BlackBerries just dont sell anymore

Friendly Verizo Rep - BBM: ThatOneGuyJavy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightyear25:
It was an official Verizon Store, located in Florence KY. I argued till I was blue in the face with management, who insisted that there was nothing they could do about the restocking fee.

About Nexus devices, they are very popular, the Nexus 5 just came out and it sold out on day 1. Verizon wants to control every device they get in, and because Nexus devices are pure Android and are not allowed to be modified by the carrier, Verizon refuses to carry them... simple because they wont allow it on their network if they cant get their overbearing hands on it.

I dont think I have ever had a good customer service experience at a Verizon store, literally, at times they just try to sell me stuff I dont need. One time, I went in to buy a phone outright for full price, they then said they would throw in all kinds of extra's = to about $200 worth. I thought they were trying to be nice, but when I took the phone back (The first Galaxy S4) I learned that they had signed me to an contract extention... they fooled me into it... then of course the second return I was charged the restocking fee for retuning a demonstrably defective device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Sorry about the experience again bro. And am pretty sure they could of waived it but just didnt want to. At my store id of waived it for you. And trust me corporate stores at time can be not really customer service oriented. And I dont see how the xtended your contract without letting you sign some type of customer agreement. Thats crazy.

Question about Verizon Edge

I have a question for you. I have 2 lines on the share plan for myself and the wife. We were almost at the end of our contract with 2 months to go when the power button on my S3 crapped out on me. If the battery had died or I needed to reboot, the phone would never start again. I had stopped paying the best buy protection plan a while back, so had no way to have the phone replaced. I had no cash, but went to the local corporate store to see what could be done. Long story short, I left with the Note 3 on the Edge program. 30ish dollars a month extra..., yada, yada. The verizon rep took my old phone for a trade-in as the 80 bucks down. I did tell him about the power button, but the phone was still powered up which was all he was concerned about. He didn't even blink at Cyanogenmod 10.2, although I'm not sure he knew what he was looking at. Anyway, I bought the Note 3 on the Edge plan, kept the old line for the broken S3 which I no longer have, kept the line for the wife. The rep said that when the contract runs out, just cancel the line for the phone that no longer exists. So, my bill went from 145 a month to 280ish. Sticker shock almost killed me when the bill arrived in the mail. I have had the Note 3 for less than a month. It is not on a contract, It's on the Edge program. As much as I love this awesome phone can I just give it back to Verizon to avoid this huge bill every month? I realize that in few weeks I'll be paying 40 less, but that is still high considering the low cost of other carriers or prepaid.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P2o8wer:
Yes and still nothing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillaCastana321:
Mhm...good question. And I dont see why your bill would have almost doubled completely. If you were paying 145ish for your two lines after tax before...now by having the extra smartphone would of increased your bill by an extra $40 bringing you to 185 then add another $30 because of the edge plan so make that $215 before tax I want to say. Did he also changed your shared data plan when he added this new edge line? Because that could of cause a increase in your bill as well? And also did he mentioned that for that new line where ever you are in your bill cycle there would be some prorated amount for the new line? And did he also mention that verizon charges a $35 activation fee? Now your probably saying to yourself what? I never used to pay an upgrade fee or an activation fee? Its something that big red has started doing over the past year and a half I want to say if your not already familiar with the upgrade and activation fees. So due to my calculation I can see why you bill have doubled so quick after getting the new device. The activation is a one time charge per line so your bill will be $35 less next times. Bringing you bill back down. Also please check to see if your data plan was changed? For your bill to have been 145 a month more than likely you was on the 2gb with 2 smartphones plan a month. Also minus whatever prorated fees on your second bill cycle after getting the new device. If I were you my friend id swap the note 3 to your old number if that number is important to you. If not keep the note 3 on your new line then ghost line your old line that had the s3 so you can pay 9.99 a month for that old line till your contract runs out on that line instead of paying $40 a month for a phone that is no longer in possession. Thats another 30 bucks saving a month bringing you back down to 220 before tax if am not mistaken. Sorry if am off I just woke up so am still half a sleep here lol. Then as soon as the contract for you old lines run out just cancel that line to save you that extra 10 bucks a month. Or if your old line is important to you then swap the note 3 to that line and ghost the new line. Atleast you would be out of contract with a note 3 on your old line. You follow me? And by being on the shared plan you could ghost line that new line and just pay 10 bucks a month for the next two years. 40×24 or 10×24 which would you rather pay? Of course 10×24. And since your probably past your 14 days its kind of hard to say. Let me look into it for you and I will let you know.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmichaels1982:
That day would mark the end of my verizon services..i did not just pay 700 for a phone to keep the unlimited plan and then have it taken away. I wonder If they will exempt the people that got the phone during the glitch from the ETF. Luckily my DE phone will be under the 30 day return period . I will gladly fly to tmobile.
