Problems adding Bridge Data to prepaid (Allset) iPhone5

[Jmolli]

Anyone having problems trying to add bridge data to a prepaid (Allset) phone. I've tried to add 3GB to my iPhone 5 all day today and I've had no success. I've tried doing through (1) the new My Verizon Mobile App, (2) dialing *611 and following the prompts and (3) on my PC while logged into my "My Verizon" account. All three methods result in a "system error" and I can't add any bridge data. The only thing that worked, was it allowed me to put $25 on account by charging my credit card. So now I've been taken for $25 and can't do anything with the money on now have in my account. A call to customer service was a complete waste of time. The CSR told me to do the *228 Activation code on my 4G LTE iPhone 5. I'm not a CSR and I know you don't use *228 on an a 4G iPhone! After wasting 30 minutes and being told my SIM card "had to age" (very creative), I got tired of the snow job and hung up. Is anyone else having problems adding bridge data? Please advise if you have succeeded in adding bridge data today.

Why have a Prepaid forum that is not monitored by CSR's who can actually do something about the issues posted by Prepaid customers? I'm not looking for a "sorry to hear about your problem" reply, I'm looking for answers/solutions.

What a ridiculous arrangement. This Prepaid sub-forum should be deleted so customers don't waste their time posting problems here.

It turned out that I needed an new SIM card in my PrePaid iPhone5. The phone was previously used on a Verizon post paid account and for some reason they said my SIM card was stuck in "Aging" mode. After it was replaced, I added the data without problem.
