Verizon Sued Over Aggresive Email Blockage
from the Europe?--who-needs-to-talk-to-Europe? dept
Verizon has been getting a lot of negative publicity over their decision to block a large percentage of foreign email for American customers. While their response so far has been to tell people to go "make a phone call" if they can't contact loved ones, colleagues or friends outside of the US, it appears that some people feel the matter is a little more serious. They're working on putting together a class action lawsuit against Verizon, suggesting that they were misled when told that the company was offering them email access -- which tends to come without strings. This, of course, is a problem that's been discussed plenty of times before. Filtering spam is tricky, and many users do want spam filters -- but there should be some element of user choice and user control over how those spam filters work. Simply blocking out huge sections of the emailing world seems beyond extreme to the point of actively driving away a number of customers.

Verizon Wireless and the new V3M
I cannot get My motorola V3M phone to be recognized as a V3M on my computer. It recognizes it as a V3C. With that being said you cannot sync your own music on your phone as is stated in the advertisements from Verion Wireless. The problem is that there are no drivers for the phone. when going to the verizon wireless store they say that the phone is showing on their computer as a V3M. But every other computer I hook my phone to It is showing as a V3C. Smith Micro witch is the company that makes the software says they have nothing to do with the problem. The Verizon Wireless Data Center Said that it was a Microsoft problem. They gave me a formula to change the registry on my PC in order for the phone to show as a V3M. I should not have to change my registry at all for the phone to show as a V3M. I have a Dell Mp3 Player and its recognized as a Dell DJ, Even without drivers. I have a host of digital equipment that is recognized when plugged in with a USB cable. Two of my associates have also purchased the phone and the same problem exists with their phone. On doing research I was told that verizon wireless removed the feature with a flash so as we the consumer cannot download our own music and files to the hard drive of the phone. The motive for this is to force everyone to purchase music from the V-Cast store or from Get it Now. I strongly believe this to be false advertisement. Motorola says that the phone comes to Verizon Wirless ready to be used as advertised but Verizon Wireless REMOVES the feature prior to sending them to us the consumer. Last but not least I also hear that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Verizon Wireless in reference to this matter. Until Verizon Wirless Changes and correct this mess I will not suggest any one to purchase a V3M Motorola Phone.

Re: Verizon Wireless and the new V3M
I have been running into the same scenario. Verizon made me run this deleting flash element, but I still had to keep running this everytime I uploaded my own music...but it does work---eventually. Its by Motorola and is called "Sync_Music_Fix". But I have been searching for some Mobile to PC software to run the entire entity of music, wallpapers, and maintenance integrated with the Motorola V3M. Email me at (mayonn@hotmail.com) if you find more information regarding these issues.

Verizon wireless sucksssss I use to work in the business center at 7401-coco cola drive, MD and all the supervisor and bosses suck. They all sleep with each other to get promoted. All they do is kiss the directors Monica Hammond ass all day because they are afraid of her mean self. Then they talk all this shit behind her back about how UGLY and mean she is. The director Monica Hammond sucks all she does is walk around all day in tight clothes flirting with the young boys and she like 55 years old. The only time you see her is when she comes out her office to get something to eat. Her nose is always turned up in the air and she is not cute. The bitch walks around like her shit does not stink. The job stresses her so much because her department is doing so badly. She always looks like she been up all night and forgot to comb her hair and she smells when you talk to her. The revenue in the business department is the lowest it's has ever been. The revenue is 3 million, when it should be 30 million. Monica hires and promotes all her family members why VZW is now face with big a law sue. The law sue came about because she refuse to promote a gay supervisor and he was the best the company. I am not sure why verizon wireless has not fire her yet. But then again they will keep her there because it shows VZW has no Morales and they like trash running their corporation. I can only bet whom she slept with to become a director because she is a stupid idiot running a business. Then VZW had the nerve to merge her departments. And she tries to say the people she lay off are the ones who use a lot of personal time. Last time I check she is always late for work and leave early and does no work. VZW sucks and the company is going to hell.

And they fire my girl Sophia from the business department saying she took to much FMLA, when she just had a baby and cancer cells remove that’s a bunch of crap. How the hell a director fire a director. But like they say where there is smoke there is fire. I believe one day all those rumors and stuff going on in the business department will come to light and VZW will clean house. I think the entire call center needs to be cleaned out and refill from director down to reps.
