One of the most publicized methods of compromising your phone account is stealing PIN numbers and security question answers from the companies themselves. There are some concrete steps you can take to minimize damages and reduce the chance of this happening again.

There was an error where this email was sent to members, please disregard it," the company told a customer. One Visible customer reacted angrily to the delay, saying, "This response is completely irresponsible, given the fact that you are currently under attack and are aware of MANY users that have had their accounts compromised.

My phone had lot of problem, screen freeze, call drops, I would not be able to make a call, automatic call previous number I have dialed, call my voice mail, slow internet, slow loading page, wrong direction on google map.

These problems became severe with time. I got the palm pixi on Dec First phone volume switch and screen would not work, so this was my second phone.

Initally it was ok but with time the service got worst. I alsways thought its the verizon crapy service and calling coustmer service is a hit and miss. I have spoke to some nice one and then the bad one. And always if I tried to complain about the bad one the manager would defend it. Its sad as I would like the good honest coustmer service rep to be appricated but it is just that I would sit on the phone for hours with them and get nothing out of it.
