Well...I'm not. Every customer is a dime in the bank, but I really do not understand why customers gloat like this. I remember when LNP first launched we would have customers come to the store to let us know that they had ported out. I'd be thinking "do you have so little joy in your life that you get off on aggravating people who are not even thinking about your crazy azz?" Case in point...this person. It's like: Why are you here?
...
listen idiot, granted you can't tell a cell phone from a cordless, but if you have nothing to contribute don't post.
and pay a close attention to this:
Don't you ever, ever, reply to my comments again. I have zero tolerance for douche bags. prick! S

Ok. That post was not meant to be as ridiculously rude as it sounded and for that, I apologize. I was merely trying to get the point across that in today's unfortunate society, no one has privacy. Of course you can opt out of this as many posters have explained, but on some level, somewhere, somehow, simply by living on Planet Earth, your privacy is being invaded. It's more of our socialist, governmnent-controlled society hard at work. But I am sorry for the tone of my previous post, did not mean it as a personal attack, and I understand how it was taken and it was not meant that way at all.
...
So you think you have privacy in the good ole US of A? Really hilarious...

Hmm, according to the customer agreement posted on the public VZW page, the information they share does NOT include your name, address, phone number or other personal ID information. I'll copy and paste what I think is the relevant paragraph below.

again wrong information they were they were quickly put on paid leave for a cuople weeks..... then terminated. If verizon took their privacy seriously they would be like adt and other companies where you have to be high ranking and have special access to view high profile accounts.... do you think at adt that any agent can access a superstars account and security information?
...
You are wrong as well. Not anyone can access his old account information. That is standard process, when something is done wrong and it envolves discipline, you are put on leave first, then the decision will be made to fire or suspend. No agents can access that info, you must have clearance to get to that info, and there was nothing that could be viewed on the account it was closed.
...
not really, if someone does something wrong they get suspended WITHOUT PAY. so sending them home with pay is pretty much getting a free 3 week vacation, I'm sorry i dont see this as discipline, when someone in the nfl gets suspended they lose money while they are suspended, hence micheal vick. He was suspended and lost money during the trial and then was kicked out the NFL.
...
Michael Vick is not kicked out of the league. He has been suspended. The Atlanta Falcons still own his rights and he still under contract with the Falcons. The Falcons tried to recoup signing bonus money but they could not...he will get soon and be back in the league next year with some team.
...
Do you have brain damage, he is kicked out of the league, if he wants to get back in he has to be reinstated......He is not under contract with the falcons, if he is allowed to come back into the league by roger godell any team can sign him.
In the NFL when your suspended or released you do not get paid. Its not like the NBA where your contract is all guaranteed money.

...
It is pretty obvious you don't know anything about football. Yes Vick is suspended and not getting paid. He is will be home on monitored release soon. The key point is this, he is still under contract with the Falcons, he is suspended for now, but when he gets reinstated to the NFL, then the contract will go back in effect and that is why the Falcons are trying to unload his contract because they have said he will never play for the Falcons again.
...
Still my point was that you don't get paid while your suspended for doing something wrong you don't get paid.
i read the article in Wikipedia incorrectly so you right about the Vick.
"Vick's attorneys stated to the bankruptcy court that Vick "has every reason to believe that upon his release, he will be reinstated into the NFL, resume his career and be able to earn a substantial living", which would be the primary source of funds to repay his creditors. [8] However, some significant obstacles stand in his way, notably the NFL suspension. Falcons owner Arthur Blank stated that he believes in second and even third chances, and expressed hope that "after spending a couple years in jail, he'll come out a different person" and may even pl...

He is under contract with the Falcons. They have announced that he will never play for them again and they plan to trade his rights once he gets out. Of course, once he gets out the Commissioner is probably going to suspend him for a year. You stick to Verizon bashing. Obviously, you don't anything about the NFL. The Falcons are not going to let Vick become a free agent without getting something out of the deal.

I'm not Verizon bashing, i didn't start the post; and the falcons probably wont care about releasing him for no compensation, teams do it all the time with problem players. Hence T.O. he got released, w/o no type of compensation for Dallas when the Bills picked him up. Teams will release players all the time, if it saves them money.
...
Do you think any garden variety CSR can access Government accounts? I think that was a private account not a government flagged account. Remember Obama was a first term Senator before becoming President. He probably opened that account back when he was just a Community Organizer (whatever that is).
...
I think you need to make sure you actually have facts and not just "if I remember correctly" to support your "argument".
Verizon never sold any numbers. Read - https://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=40 41. The company you are talking about was using an illegal system to call random numbers at a rate of one every .32 seconds. These are the facts. No selling of anything involved.
And your President Obama reference had to do with some stupid employees that simply looked at his account. They did not sell anything either.
I usually only get to read these posts and I hate when people preach they know the "facts" when they actually have no idea what they are talking about.

And i found the document and it states "Verizon Wireless say the company is violating the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which makes it illegal to use an autodialer to make calls to wireless phones. Verizon is seeking an injunction against the company"
all verizon is suing for is that they misused the numbers they gave them by using a autodialer like i stated, this company got the numbers from verizon, verizon was just upset how they used them!

Thanks for the info. I tried it to see how easy it was and well it was easy as pie. We have a lot of customers who call about the telemarketers so the easier it is to explain over the phone, the better 🙂 😎 😉

According to the section of the TOC that I posted last week, CPNI does NOT include phone numbers or other personally-identifiable information. I'll quote that part again...

Thanks for posting a topic that is 2 years old...at least. Verizon Wireless has had CPNI opt-out in place for a while. Maybe you need to check with your local post office if you just got that letter 🤣
