Hmmm... could be a forwarding issue. Have that person dial *73 from their phone. If still an issue, have them call tech support.

Hello guys. My d1 i think is busted (screen wont work and no warranty)and i have my moms old Env and im trying to fiqure out how to transfer this thing to my number so i at least have a temporary phone til i fiqure out what im going to do. I really dont want to mess with my plans or anything because i plan on buying a droid off ebay at some point, is their any way i can transfer the Env to my line and just leave everything else alone? if that makes sense... I would prefer to do this at my house. I know usually a sim card swap to a new phone would work on the other carriers but thats the evil with cdma. Any help would be appreciated.

the env won't activate because you have a smartphone plan. at least thats what i was told by vzw last year when i ran into a similar issue.

When you activate the env of will boot the smartphone plan off.

You really don't even need to login to myverizon. Just dial *228, option 1, enter your number and password and let it go

That might be what he or she is saying, but it's incorrect in my experience. We switched a Blackberry to a dumbphone temporarily, and didn't change anything on the plan in going from Blackberry>Dumbphone>Droid Pro.

... i think im leaning toward gsu_golfer but i think i want a rep to confirm. I dont need to add any wrenches in my plan. I would think i wouldnt change plans becuase my the enV is capable of internet and phone. Its not like im switching to a complete dumbphone. I just need a phone for a couple of days til i can get a new droid. :icon_eek: id be mad if my plan changed.

Question about all the Thunderbolt 3G issues.

My wife got her T-Bolt a couple of days ago and yesterday it stopped picking up any 3G service. She can Wi-Fi fine, but no 3G. We are just on the outskirts of 4G so she can't get that either. I looked all around and this seems to be a widespread problem with the T-Bolt.

We took it in to the Verizon store and when I mentioned this, that online is buzzing about the issue, the rep seemed to get a little annoyed ... "We've only had one come in with this issue" Well 3 or 4 of the reps huddled and they called over a manager. their solution was, "we think we're having network issues and it should be resolved soon."

My concern is, my phone an X, has no problem getting 3G and this T-Bolt issues seems to be happening a lot ...

It Verizon scrambling to identify the issue, do they know the issue, or do they have no clue? Specifically account wise, will they refund a percentage of the data plan for the days she is unable to connect to any data?

It's not a network issue, its a phone or SIM issue. Refund would be more likely from customer service than in-store.
