777-000-0001

Repeatedly on bill from verizon cell phone every month? Hvae no idea what this is?

this number showed up on our all of our lines and it ran our bill up $200 dollars in overages.  My sister called and asked about it, because the number showed up 112 times in one day sometimes two a minute, and they told her it was get it now and instantly offered to take off half of the overages.  My sister told them that she had never used get it now and that it acounted for over three hundred minutes on her line alone, so after holding for over a half hour they did remove all of the overcharges. So if you didn't use get it now i suggest you call verizion and raise some heck, i think they are tring to sneak these charges in and hoping nobody will notice.

My Son's cell phone is getting hit with this number several times a day.  Many of the times it is when he is in class, and other times it is in the middle of the night.  Please make this company stop calling.

My husband and I just noticed that number is coming out on our cell phone bill and is eating up our airtime minutes 1-2 minutes at a time!!! We called and they told us it was DATA charges for us browsing the mobile web or using get it now. We don't EVER use get it now, mobile web, instant messaging. On our bill online the charges were .45 for every minuted used to this stupid so called DATA number 777-000-0001 but the charges are showing up as vOICE charges not DATA charges so there is definately something fishy going on ther and no one seems to have an explanation for it when we call!!!! I am very upset that verizon seems to be doing this scam!!! I posted a bulletin on myspace and am going to send out several emails for everyone to check their bills. We can't let Verizon get away with this scam it's just WRONG!!!

This number has appeared all over my phone bill costing me money.

How can Verison be stopped?  If they bill it we have to pay, regardless if we've done it or not. Does anybody know what can be done?? I'd like to hear from someone that was successful in getting it stopped.
I'm having the same problem and I've never done the Get it Now thing...I don't even know how!!  Anyone I've talked to at Verison appears to be shocked by my tale, but say they are all GET IT NOW's that have been accessed. They did block it but its still happening-they don't know why. I was told they would credit some of it, but it didnt show up on my next bill. I called the P.U.C. but they haven't heard of it. (I asked both the PUC and Verison to Google the # and check out the complaints.) Maybe if all of us would call the PUC they'd do something. I have a family plan, 5 phones, 777-000-0001 appears on all of them, most at a minute each, sometime twice a minute, sometimes hundreds/day. I know us 2 "olds" aren't doing the 'get it now" thing, and since the # follows the same pattern on the other 3 phones as on our two, I don't doubt they're telling me the truth when they say they're not doing it either.  That this is happening to so many people to me is suspect. To even think that Verison will ever admit there's a problem and stop the charges is crazy.  Why would they, they get to bill it, you have to pay it.  They apparently police themselves so we have no recourse.  I don't know how to prove I didn't do it.

my phone bill went from $80.00 a month for years to a whopping $445.00 in one month because 777-000-0001 was all over my bill! no one can explain at verizon and they said it was my fault!Imagine that!verizon said i must have hit my send button 718 times to use data and i did'nt even know it!they  changed my plan--to help me of course.it seems kinda fishy to me!

Same problem with 777-000-0001 appears 60 times on my bill and has run my bill up over $79. in May...Appeard as a DATA Usage...What is going on?

This number shows up all the time on my phone and I dont use IM or the get it now!

So I called up Verizon and this is what I was told....  I'll know for sure next month now that I've made the changes to my phone.  The 777 number is the web access on your phone.  Every time you remotely push up on your D-pad and it starts to connect to the network (Even if by accident) then it begins the charge method... Mine however is still on the old plan where they charge you the usage of your minutes, however; newer phone plans it charges 1.99 per a KB... Not sure if many ppl knew so just throwing that out there.  This is what I was told and I'm going to see what happens and will post back in 35days.  Hope this helps someone, an if you still have an issue with it don't call customer service, have them give you tech support they are the ones that really know.

Just got transferred from Alltel to Verizon and received the first bill. Found the 777 numbers on one of our cell phone lines 403 times. We were charged .40 a min for each call made during peak times. Of course we were not personally making these calls 24hrs a day.
Found that an email application on the phone was constantly updating and checking for new emails. We deleted the email accounts on the phone, checked online for yesterdays usage for that line and the data calls stopped at the time of day we deleted the accounts.

This number appears on my time log with Verizon. Now, due to an auto accident 2 years ago, the other driver is getting my cell records freely from Verizon, and accusing me of texting while driving (which I was NOT), due to this Data CL number 777 000 0001 appearing at the time of the incident on my log! Now am I going to be sued lots of money due to falsely being accused of inattentive driving at the time? This could cost me much more now than just the Verizon bill......

this number is constant and at all hours. It sayd it is data. It is sucking up my minutes.

This number is zapping minutes from my stepsons phone thus affecting me as we are on the same plan. I am currently working with Verizon to remedy the situation. We were just switched from Alltel to Verizon. I will get to the bottom of this and I will get the charges dropped. By the way, Internet access, which is what I was told this is, has been blocked on his phone since 10/07/09. Charges have appeared even yet today-10/25/09.

On Verizon too - My nieces phone has over 3000 minutes from the 7770000001 - and i'm trying to find out why????

I hate to say it, but I'm glad to see a recent post on the 7770000001 thing.  We just got moved from Alltel to Verizon and thank goodness I have internet access to watch the current usage.  I know for a fact what I have done on my phone and when I did it and it was not data of any sort it was a picture message.  And yes I got the whole story that we are accessing the internet.  As of right now, I am so sick of Verizon I could scream and of course still have 4 months on my contract. If anyone has any suggestions they would be appreciated.

I have the number 7770000001 on my cell. Please help me.

I had this happen on my bill on one of our Verizon family phones.  The phone was not used for anything that would have incurred data charges, but we had about 1400 in data charges on one phone.  But today, after Verizon told me my only option was to increase my plan minutes because my bill had not yet turned over, the extra charges were no longer listed on the online interface.  My billing cycle turns over on Saturday.
