Has anyone had this happen?

Had an online order picked up. Take it out the box at home and it's saying it needs to confirm SSN and billing zipcode to activate. I enter that information and it doesn't take. Do this a few times and get locked out. Never experienced this one. Anyone else?

I saved this post on slickdeals just in case it happened to me. You can search the SD thread if you need more info from the original post.

I'm not sure if this is related to your issue or not though but may be helpful.

I'm bummed this roller coaster ride is almost over it's been fun while it lasted!

A bunch of my craigslist ads for UDP's have been flagged for removal and deleted. CL might be deleting them, which I doubt because there's tons of similar ads still up.

Or someone's afraid of a little competition and flagging them as inappropriate. I find that amusing and hope they grow up or grow a pair soon.

that's standard fare on CL you'll always get flagged and for many different reasons (especially for highly competitive categories like cell phones) but not by CL itself

If you have multiple ip addresses you can immunize your ads so they are much tougher to knock down

use some or all of your UDP's to bulletproof your ads

I think it's the local ghetto dealers who sell Page Plus and Boost plans in my area. The UDP lines I've seen get flagged almost instantly.

Mine were gone instantly too. It does make sense that someone like that is watching for competition.
 
Has anyone not seen Unlimited iPhone when buying from the store? Wife just tried as both of our Apple ID's are maxed out for iP6's and it wasn't on the handheld. :(

Do you have a NW FS or individual? It doesn't show on the individual plans.

3 UDP's on a Nationwide FS 700. I was just able to order online using a new Apple ID and new to Apple to credit card. Will see what happens. It's just weird it wasn't listed on the handheld.

Wait - I thought with p/u in-store this doesn't happen. Did you do ship to home?

I have never done order in-store but I did get cut off for exceeding quantity limits and just used a gift card and checked out as a guest. And I used the same credit card I had been using to buy the gift card, lol!

I saw it there around 12pm eastern time. What time did you try?
 
Any Mobile T&T FS plan with UDP

So I have a 5 line Any Mobile T&T FS plan with 3 UDPs and 2 basic phones. I pulled one of the basic phones out of the plan and made it a $45/mo UDP MHS to free up space for another UDP line. Then I merged a 450 min, payg text, UDP line from my subaccount into my Any Mobile T&T FS plan and it worked to keep UDP.

Just sayin' if you can get one of these Any Mobile T&T FS lines with UDP you can merge all of your other NW UDP lines into it and have the promo on your plan. But you have to convert them to 450 minute, payg text, UDP lines to do it.

You can't add UDP lines through apple to it, though.

Mine have been flagged as well thanks Jules ...

I believe it means that when you post a bunch of ads using the same IP address, whoever is flagging your ads for deletion will be able to find your other ads. If you post them using different IP addresses they will be harder to find.

Please, please, please, please, please let there be another glitch in Fall of 2016 that lets me get a subsidized upgrade to the iPhone 7 while keeping my UDP. I don't care about AOLs at this point (assuming my pending eBay transfer goes through as planned). I just like getting $200-300 iPhones! :)

I asked for the $15 loyalty 30 minute voice plan.

25 more minutes of my life wasted with Vzn.

REP: At this time I don't see any plan that would lower your voice minutes and allow you to pay $15. You are on the least expensive plan that is available at this time. There is no Loyalty plan listed in this category.

REP:I do see a voice plan for $20 but then you add on the line access and you get $60 for the entire plan. There is still no $15 voice minutes availabel on a Loyalty plan.I apologize but it does not show up in my list of minute plans.

Me:Thank you I will call customer support.


Ya just gotta love it and LOL.

YMMV I guess. My rep found it in about 3 minutes. I specifically asked if it would affect my text and data and he said no.

Yes it's always YMMV with them. :( I'm on another chat now, they must have the slowest system in the world or the reps are on more than one chat at a time. It takes them forever to look something up and reply.

LOL edited for new chat info;

REP: I see what the problem is: your plan is no longer offered, so I can't make any sort of change to it unless it's to one of our current plans.What I can do is enter your plan change options to check whether the loyalty plan is there.

REP:You're welcome! Were you interested in any of our current plans at all?

ME: No thank you.

REP:Alright. I'm glad I could at least give you the right information!

Maybe I will call tomorrow instead of chat.
