Can't Access Verizon Billing? You're Not Alone


Verizon Wireless, the United States' largest wireless carrier, is having some issues with its billing system, including the My Verizon web and app portal.


That means that if you try to log in to My Verizon online or in an app, you can't get account information, pay your bill, see usage rates or activate new lines of service.


A Verizon Wireless spokesperson tells Mashable that the company is 'unfortunately experiencing issues with our billing system, affecting customer accounts mostly in Northeast, Midwestern and some southern states. We are working on a fix.'


The outage isn't just limited to self-serve systems. Verizon stores in a number of states are also unable to access billing information or activate lines of service.

Right now, Verizon doesn't know how many potential customers are impacted by this issue, but it could be thousands. We're getting Twitter reports from users in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee, New Hampshire and Illinois.


It's important to note that the problem is not impacting wireless voice or data services. Still, for many users, not being able to activate a new line or make a payment on an account can be just as debilitating.


Reports on Twitter suggest that the billing system issues go back more than 24 hours, with some users reporting that they have been unable to activate new lines of service for nearly two days.


@film_girl yes. I've been trying to buy a new phone for 2 days! They can't access my account at all! #VerizonOutage- Kevin Mason (@kevinmason) June 27, 2014


@film_girl Activations not possible from Ohio to Maine. Also confirmed NY and NJ are in the outage area. Can't even connect current subs.- Robert Chute (@robertchute) June 27, 2014


Mashable has been unable to confirm reports that users are being turned away at Verizon stores.


This billing outage comes at a particularly precarious time for the carrier. Not only is it near the end of the month (though we should note that not all billing cycles start on the 1st), it is happening when a number of retailers are putting phones on sale in the lead-up to the Fourth of July holiday.


Walmart, for example, currently has the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S for sale for $29 and $99, respectively, for a 16GB variant. In some cases, users may be able to purchase phones. The problem is actually activating the phone on a new or existing account. The nature of the activation servers, however, is also preventing many phone sales.


We'll update this post with more information as soon as we get it.

5 Reasons iPhone 6 Won't Be Popular

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget. Some leaked photos of iPhone 5S prototype show that it does not differ from its predecessor at all. Therefore, all hopes for something radically new in design and features are laid on iPhone 6. And if Apple is no longer holds its standards, that seem to be a little bit old-fashioned already, it is unlikely that iPhone 6 will be interesting for people next year. 5 main reasons can be found to think like ...

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
