FIOS voice mail

Status: Already Exists
by kvs on ‎05-10-2013 12:29 PM

Your FIOS voice mail isn't good.  Why not make it like the standard out there.  Both at work and with Verizon wireless, the number options are the same.

 

My biggest gripe is that after a message plays, you con't give me an option to delete it--as with verizon wireless.  I have to listen to it again and then press <3> while listening.  If I happen to listen to a message and wait just a second after it finishes, pressing <3> for delete puts me into some other mode.

 

Fix this and you'll make me an even more satisfied FIOS customer!

Sounds like you have 'autoplay' enabled which does eliminate the prompts after each message plays but allows you to use 2 to save or 3 to delete during message playback. To disable 'autoplay', from the main menu press 4 for Personal Options, 5 for Message Preferences, and 2 for Autoplay and follow the instructions to disable.

adult content

I don't know if this is appropriate to post but when I was with Dish they had over 20 "adult" channel options available where in Verizon we only have I believe 2. Is there a way we can get  more of these channels?

Check out On Demand and Channels above 1000

Desperate need for Fioss Channel Guide for older folks who are computer/tv services illiterate.  Totally unavailable is downloadable channel lineup with 

  -  local channels  ABC NBC CBS CW and affiliates

  -  music choice channels  (can't find listing anywhere)

  -  the above listed in numerical order 

 

Please, you dug up this over-60 community for this great digital service, and some have gone back to Comcast to get a channel listing.

You are in luck! Use this link: http://www22.verizon.com/home/fiostv/digital-tv-channels Enter your zip to show the lineup for your area. You can sort by Name or Number. There is an icon on the left bottom for printing. It takes a few extra seconds for the whole lineup to load in. You will have what you need in a printable PDF format.

In the Email account manage section of the verizon account, there NEEDS to be a Password Change Option for the Sub-Accounts of the account.

 

https://www22.verizon.com/ForYourHome/MyAccount/ngen/pr/user/profile.aspx

 

If there are Sub-Accounts listed - there is no way to change the password to any sub-accounts.

Status: Already Exists

The functionality to change a sub account password already exists today. You have to sign in as the sub account owner (not as the main account owner!!)

 

Go to MyVerizon>Profile>click on the 'manage' button next to Account Settings> select Password and Security and change your password and if necessary also your security questions.

Please be advised though that only the owner of the sub account may change the password. I hope this helps.

Voice mail

Just came over to FIOS from Xfinicrap. Voicemails should be available in the email folder. That's the only thing I'll miss from over there. I could listen to voicemail, or view a transcribed copy in my inbox.

Status: Already Exists
Do you have FiOS Digital Voice? If so, you can set up email notification with the message attached as a WAV file. Go to verizon.com/fiosvoice to take a look at the user guide. You can log into your FDV online account manager with your MyVerizon user name and passcode. If you don't have FDV, you can use Verizon Call Assistant to listen to your messages via the web, but it doesn't have email notification. Sorry for any inconvenience.

You used to have a way to stay logged in for two weeks.  That option appears to no longer be available.  Please bring it back!  Better yet, let me stay logged in forever.

Status: Already Exists
Forever? I like to stayed logged in too! Actually, there is a box that says "Keep me logged in." It is located at the bottom of the log in area. It no longer says 2 weeks, but the My Verizon teams notes that the time frame is still in place.

Channel line up

Please update the channel lineups that can be printed online. The last update was 2010 and the Select lineup is not available. I understand I can view the lineup online and in the guide. I have an elderly parent that just likes to have a printed lineup in his hand to look at. Thank you.

Manage Sub-Accounts

How about adding the ability to ACTUALLY mange email accounts.  Add the function to change the password for the accounts email address.

 

Brighthouse does this very easily.  If a password is forgotten or the user wants to change it, it is just logon, choose the email account and change password.

 

Verizon FIOS does not have this option.  Please add this.

After logging into My Verizon, use the top navigation to highlight the My Verizon Tab. This will show a drop down where you can update your Account Settings. Choose Profile > View All. This will launch overall Account Settings. Under Account Settings, choose Manage. Follow steps to update your password.

Please make Call Forwarding Busy Line/Do not answer available to new users

Status: Already Exists
by Paul2013 on ‎02-15-2013 12:18 PM - last edited on ‎02-15-2013 01:51 PM by Moderator

I just switched to FIOS from RCN, and have been very happy with your service overall. There is one phone feature I really miss: Call forwarding Busy Line/Do not answer. I found it extremely useful, and I used it every day. RCN has it,  my old Verizon landline had it; it has been a standard phone feature forever.

 

However, when I went to set it up on my new FIOS Digital Voice account, I discovered that the feature is not available to new subscribers. It is apparently still available in the FIOS switch, and existing users can still use it. 

Could you please make it available again to new users? Why not give FIOS customers more flexibility rather than less?

 

Or, if you don't want to advertise it on your website for some reason, could you put me in touch with someone who could "grandfather" me into the feature? It is so useful to me, that it may be a FIOS deal-breaker.

 

Thanks,

Fixed Call Forwarding BL/DA is still available with both regular landlines and FiOS Digital Voice, but it must be ordered through our sales & service reps. You cannot currently toggle it on/off, but we are looking into making that ability available with FiOS Digital Voice in the future. We do still offer regular Call Forwarding where you can temporarily send all calls to another number (calls will not ring your phone). You can turn this feature on/off from your phone (*72/73), your online account manager, or TV. If you haven't already, you may want to take a look at our FiOS Digital Voice User Guide found at verizon.com/fiosvoice to catch up on all the features available.

Router access

Status: Already Exists

Allow users of FIOS routers to see and control the number of devices connected to the router/wireless network. Meaning, make it possible to detect the number of users and the types of devices connected to the router and give the Administrator/owner of the network the ability to disconnect any unauthorized users. In my apartment complex for example, for at least a year people from the same complex  were connected to my router and I didn't even know it. If maintenance enters your home and gets the WEP key from the router, what esle can one do other the change the SSID and security to wap/wap2? 

Status: Already Exists
This feature is available via your Router Admin. While using the interface you can view all devices utilizing your network. Choose the Wireless Option - Choose Advanced Security Settings - Populate with your list of allowed Mac addresses.

The subject says it all. I combed through the management options before posting this so do please let me know if this obvious benefit exists already and that I just missed it. Thanks.

 

Status: Already Exists
Sorry for any trouble finding it. It's under 'Calling Features', 'Incoming Call Block'. You can also do call block from your FiOS TV. Refer to page 13 of the user guide found at verizon.com/fiosvoice for instructions.

Verizon, please supplement your existing online guidance with the following info:

 

When setting up Internet E-mail Settings, after completing fields within the sections 'User Information', 'Server Information' and 'Logon Information', click on MORE SETTINGS and ensure that the following two actions are taken in addition to existing guidance:

(1) On the Outgoing Server tab, tick the box 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication' and then click on 'Use same settings as my incoming server'

(2) On the Advanced tab, choose 'SSL' in the dropdown choices under 'Use the following type of encrypted connection'.

See only channels I have in my package

Status: Already Exists
by BonTom on ‎02-04-2013 10:52 AM

Am I missing it?  If so, I'm not the only one - but is there a way to ONLY see the channels in the package we pay for?  *(Without having to manually go and put everything in to a Favorites.)

Status: Already Exists

Try this... This was originally posted by 22Becca22: I'm posting the solution here as well.

>Menu -- Settings -- Television -- Last Viewed Guide State -- Enable (as checked)

>Then go to Guide -- Options -- Subscribed Channels

 

This ensures that everytime you click on 'Guide', you'll only see the subscribed channels on the guide listing.

 

To go back to viewing 'All channels' on the guide, go to Guide -- Options -- 'All Channels'.

FIOS TV software / fix or make it possible again ...

Status: Already Exists

FIOS TV software / fix or make it possible again that once I put it on FAVORITES 1, it stays on Fav 1 until I select a different favorites

 

We used to be able to put on favorites 1 - which I took the time to set up all of the stations I was okay for the kids to use.  And they could search after a show and still be on favorites 1.  Never having to worry about them seeing something they shouldn't. 

 

Now every time you go to change the channel, you have to re- select favorites 1.  Whoever changed this in your software, evidently doesn't have kids.

 

I seriously am considering dropping FIOS because of this.  We have had to stay on top of the kids now and they can no longer switch stations safely on their own.  HELP!

 

Sincerely,

Bonnie & Tom {Edited for privacy}

This should work for you. For favorites to stick you have to have two things enabled:

Step 1 - Menu>settings>television>modes = Enable

Step 2 - Menu>settings>television>last guide state = Enable

 

 

Once completed, favorites should stick.
