Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008Verizon
My wife spent the morning talking with Verizon about her failure to be able to pay for phone service on-line. Finally she asked my wife what browser she was using, and she said "Safari". The "help" desk lady said my wife needs I.E. My wife asked if Firefox, Opera, or Camino would work, and she said no. I'll try next week. > My wife spent the morning talking with Verizon about her failure to be > able to pay for phone service on-line.

I can use Safari 3.04 and 3.1 on my 10.4.11 Dual G4 system to pay my Verizon Wireless bill on-line. I suspect you got a really stupid CS person (or someone who's really smart and knows that Mac's IE 5 just won't work for most anything these days). If your system is so borked that you're having problems with browsers and web sites, maybe it's time to do a total wipe and reload from media. I did this some 5 years ago and my system has a lot accumulated cruft from installed/deinstalls/etc. over the 2 OS updates I've done since I installed it. So, I audited it (made careful note of all applications, CMM's, preference panes, network settings, printers, cron jobs, etc.), did a full backup to another disk, and wiped the drive. After about 72 hours, I had a working system almost the same as what I'd wiped and Apple Security Updates don't screw it up any more. Or you could just drive to the local Verizon Wireless store and use their payment center. It will scan the check and credit your account right there in the store. All the local stores have one here in California. SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO!

But I was objecting to the help desk's claim. > My wife spent the morning talking with Verizon about her failure to be > able to pay for phone service on-line.

If you think that's bad you should ask them about problems with Ubuntu. ; ) Most ISPs are the same, BTW. In general, the world is clueless about platforms other than Windows. If and when Verison makes FiOS available in my neighborhood, I'll be glad to call them "my new friends", at least long enough for a test run.
