I guess someone must be trying to promote IM apps.

Well I called Verizon Friday after I received my text and told them I received it and asked if they knew when that update would take place. They did not say the text was not from them, only stated that they didn't know the exact date of when it would take place and that the update pop-up would come up on my phone. (Which didnt really tell me anything, just the rep didnt seem confused by the text, so who knows)Quote:

VZW FREE MSG: We could not identify the sender of that message with the supplied information. Please call *611 for additional help.
So, after reporting the text as spam and providing the phone number reported by SMS, they sent this.
Looks like some of the VZW support team has one story and others have another.
No surprise! Wonder what the truth is?

It's strange because the text message doesn't actually suggest downloading another app so what would be the purpose of the message? Based on that I would say that the text seems legit. If it was spam it would only exist for the sole purpose of messing with us Razr users which is odd.Quote:

It's very strange and obviously when we get word on the upgrade it will be official so this is all speculation. I just wanted to post this in case people were counting too heavily on it getting here in the next couple of days. Hopefully the story is incorrect and the rep that originally tweeted about the text being spam is wrong. It wouldn't be the first time!
I got a $50 off promo on top of the promos already going on. I got it off of MyVerizon when I paid my bill. I didnt use it and that same day I changed my mind. I couldnt find that promo anywhere. I called VZW tech and they pretty much called me a liar and needed proof. She said they cannot LOOK UP promos and crap like that because they dont have a complete unified system and I needed to pay full price. I finally gave up being soooo pist off. To make a long story short, I found the ad and called the same rep. Emailed her and she comfirmed it was one of their ads to good customers only and they dont even know what promos are around.Quote:

I would always over pay my bills and pay ahead of time.
Moral of my stories, Verizon doesnt know crap about what the heck theyre doing.
I agree with you there. I truly believe, barring some type of major glitch, the soak will probably happen sometime this week, maybe as late as early next week, and the OTA starting on the 29th or 30th. This way Motorola is happy and doesn't have to make customers mad by not making their Q2 estimation, and VZW gets to advertise ICS on Razr and Maxx AFTER June 28th, which will tempt people to buy new phones, and thus take away their unlimited data (for those who still have it). Just my $0.02.Quote:

They seem to work pretty smoothly and there are also Razrs overseas already running ICS. You're right though - they really could advertise and push the phones especially after the news about the data package changes. Apple was taking shots at the Android OS names at their keynote last week but there are less than 10% of devices actually running ICS. They need to start getting it out because it's becoming a joke.Quote:
