I have been unable to activate Verizon Call Assistant.
When I click the "sign up" link, it tells me that I already have VCA. When I click the "activate" link, however, it tells me I don't have VCA.
I called customer service, waited on hold for 30 minutes, and then was transferred to another number - 888-483-5156. I then was on hold more than _3 hours_ before losing my connection.
Would appreciate it very much if a VZ employee on the forums can help.
Thank you.

That is the correct number for the Verizon Call Assistant support. You might have tried reaching them outside their hours of operation. Monday-Friday 10:00am-09:00pm/EST .

I have this same issue. I tracked down the problem to the type of voicemail configured on my Verizon line. There are two types of VM service and the one I had was incompatible. Verizon can either switch VM or disable VM to correct the issue.
They will tell you that he problem will clear up in a few days, but that isn't true. Talk to tech support after two days and get them manually process your VCA request.
It is a pain, but this seemed to work for me.
