Wizard of Smart posted:I have a question for corporate sales employees. I'm looking to jump ship from working in a sprint retailer to a Verizon corporate store. Is there any kind of employee referral hire program? Is it a terrible idea to bring some recent sales numbers along with my resume to the store that's hiring in my area? Obviously I don't work verizon, but in general what you should bring to a cellular sales interview: -enthusiasm for service plus growing sales. Open minded ness -proven numbers -resume stuff and referrals -ability to sell more than just phones. Usually tablets, hotspots and wireless home phone. VZ may have specific interests you'll want to talk about. There's always a shortage of people in wireless it seems, so presenting yourself as a great service and sales rep who can work in and outside the box and is flexible On adapting focus has always worked for me. Oh, and I went through he interview process with Verizon, just be prepared with your A game. They interview really well, ask very good questions, and they do an extremely thorough background check. Make sure the dates on your resume are accurate to the absolute month. Having W2s ready for old jobs if you have them could save you time if they have issues contacting old employers. Best of luck, both Verizon and ATT Corp pay significantly better than indirect. I switched from the company you are at, and my pay increase year over year was about 60% and that isn't even including better benefits. My main advice is just keep applying, sometimes it takes a bit to get through. Duckman2008 fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Jan 9, 2014 |

I'm kind of retarded and this is a huge thread so, quick question. Do I need to pay for VZ Navigator to use GPS apps?

However, in other news, I AOL'd an unlimited account today, provided them the number off a fresh SIM I acquired from a retail store, popped that SIM into my Jetpack and bam, I have a Jetpack with unlimited data. Life is freaking grand right now. The best part is being able to drop my 30GB/month shared plan (iPhone + Jetpack) down to 2GB on the 13th.

Is there anyway to keep unlimited if I upgrade through Amazon Wireless? My upgrade date is at the end of April, but I would like to have an upgraded phone by the time I go on vacation earlier in the month. I can upgrade up to two months early from Amazon, but I don't know if there's a way to keep unlimited. Am I just going to have to suck it up with a poo poo old droid incredible for the 17 hour drive and week worth of vacation?

Doctor Butts posted:Is there anyway to keep unlimited if I upgrade through Amazon Wireless? If you try to upgrade on the line that has unlimited, you will lose unlimited. Doesn't matter if that's at Verizon, BestBuy, Amazon, or whoever (unless there's some quirk to those processes I don't know about). Your options are 1) buy full retail and don't sign a new contract, or 2) Transfer the upgrade to another line on your plan, buy the phone you want, then switch it to the unlimited line. Can we put something about this in the OP yet?

Notice to people who have been using the upgrade on a non-unlimited line and then transfer the device as Customer Provided Equipment to move it to a line with unlimited to retain unlimited data. The loophole is officially closed. Any device that was purchased as a 2-year contract subsidy will now require removal of the unlimited data feature unless the two-year contract term has been fulfilled. This was just announced today via VZW Intranet. Basically corporate is wise to various shenanigans in not so many words.

I wonder if that decision will just make some people just jump ship to another carrier. At least the Nexus 5 and Moto x are reasonably priced no contract phones that won't get rid of your unlimited data

Yeah, this is going be impossible to enforce. Unless the block every single unlimited line from automated device changes so a rep needs to get involved.... and even then they can't block sim swaps. I love how verizon still thinks they have the same level of control over devices on their network as they did in the cdma days. But then again, the various departments are so detached from each other and reality its not terribly surprising.

I was just about to go tomorrow and take a full upgrade which is on my unlimited line and use it on someone else's line on my family plan so they could upgrade their phone. It would get rid of her unlimited in the process but she doesn't care about having it as she never uses more than ~200mb a month. I thought if I did this it would not affect my unlimited data though. Is what you're saying that this not a thing I can do anymore?

And the device if MOVED to another line before the contract is up, removes the unlimited from the line it reactivates on.

Does this mean that any time a customer does a SIM swap, it's going to put a note into an audit queue so that a human can look at the history of the device and take away unlimited data if need be?

I may be speaking out of my rear end, but I don't think popping the sim into another device is the same as activating the device on the line.

Watch Out Smarmy posted:Well the announcement just hit yesterday so there is not a ton of detail. What I read indicated that Device IDs that were purchased with 2-year pricing would cause unlimited data to be removed if they were activated as CPE on another line unless the 2-year contract was fulfilled. This is going to wreak a SHITSTORM of havoc for people that buy/sell used phones as not all those phones are going to be clear of a 2 year contract when they are sold. I know that I sold off my Razr before I was clear of my 2 year contract for the Galaxy Nexus. So, if they are really flagging IDs of devices that were used on 2 year pricing and then killing unlimited if that device is activated in a different line if that device is not clear of the 2 year contract, it's going to cause a lot of problems.

Isn't this the same as before?you're not activating it on the unlimited line, you're activating on the extra line and then just transferring afterwards? Or would that be caught under the rule change too? If so, I'm done with VZW.

I was thinking about the new upgrade rules and I can't see how this would be remotely enforceable outside of threats. Unless Verizon has decided to take the media approach and try to say that you are only leasing/licensing your use of the equipment.

Is this part of that? I'm on a family plan. My phone is the one eligible for an upgrade and the only one with unlimited. The rest have 2gb caps. I called Verizon to transfer the upgrade to another line. I was then planning on using Moto maker to get a Moto X. Activating it on the 2gb line. Deactivating. Then transferring to mine. Figuring this would be simple I called and was told that i could upgrade on my line then transfer the phone to the other line. I said no, I don't want to restart the contract on my line. I just want to transfer the upgrade since I don't want to use it. She told me that I couldn't transfer the upgrade without restarting my contract... Should I try another person later? e: i also asked if I would lose my unlimited on this transfer and restarting my contract and she said yes CancerStick fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Jan 15, 2014 |

If what has been posted in this th read is true, the only way to get it is to use motomaker and not use the upgrade ie pay the $400. I can confirm that I just did this and it works, I still have my unlimited.

I've got an unlimited data plan tied to my old Droid Bionic. This phone has been a tank for the past few years, but it's finally drawing its last breath over the past 6 months. If I go into a Verizon store and just straight-up purchase a new iPhone 5s at their retail price, they're supposed to activate it for me on that line AND I keep my unlimited data plan...right?
