Another FIOS SNAFU




Verizon wants me to verify my email address.  They send me an email and I respond with the link in their email.  It opens a screen that wants my zip code.  I give them my zip code and they tell me that isn't the zip code they have on file for me.  I got to my account information and I am putting in the same zip code that they have on file but they keep telling me that isn't my zip code.   I researched this online and found that people have been complaining about this for YEARS!  As much as Comcast drove me crazy, FIOS is driving me Crazier!  I tried to find a contact or chat to get a solution and got nothing but an automated attendant!  I finally found that Verizon has put technical support on Facebook and Twitter.  Now there is a decision to be proud of.  Keep in mind that a great many people who actually have FIOS don't use Facebook or Twitter.  After playing message tag with various supposed support staff, I figured out the solution.  Negative Kudos to FIOS for moving support and removing any phone numbers I could find on their site.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
