My personal experience with Aio Wireless has been horrible. Hope this helps any of you who have even thought about getting this service from this provider. You have been connected to RobertJ. Tina: Hi I was in the middle of talking to another agent and they closed the session RobertJ: Welcome to Aio! How can I help? Tina: I am not getting text messages from online accounts to verify with their security codes. I have uninstalled the apps and then reinstalled. What do I do? RobertJ: ok may i have the phone number and the Pin number please? Tina: The part that is killing me is that its not even the apps that are having an issue because I am even trying to access the account and verify through using my computer and the texts are still not coming through Tina: I do not have a pin set up... my cell number is ------ RobertJ: ok please allow me a moment to check the account and i will make a security question for the customer. Tina: ok RobertJ: thank you. RobertJ: security question What is your favorite food? Tina: ------- RobertJ: thank you. Tina: Ok so what do I do RobertJ: ok may you please turn the phone off i will let you know when to turn it on. Tina: ok its off RobertJ: thank you please allow me a moment let the customer know he/ will receive a test text message\. RobertJ: is the customers name TINA KEEN? Tina: yes RobertJ: thank you. RobertJ: ok the text has been sent please verify Tina: am I too turn my phone on? RobertJ: yes please do so. Tina: ok I got that RobertJ: o may you please try to send a message and let you friend send you one to check you may receive please? Tina: Texting has worked fine though.... its just receiving those texts with security codes from Facebook, Google and Instagram that are not working RobertJ: ok, are you making the facebook passwords well may you please try to do so if not you will have to change the passwords of the sites. Tina: no. for an example.. I want to post an image on Instagram.. well once I finish everything and go to post it from my cell it, it wants me to verify my account by entering the security that it text to me.... which leads to my problem, no text with security codes are coming to me RobertJ: ok, but if that is from the facebook app you will need to change the passwords or answer the security question from the sites. Tina: no its from several sites... and not only on the app. I went to the Instagram site and tried doing it that way... well that didn't do anything either... I still need to verify my number and the only way is through getting that text with the security code RobertJ: yes, I understand you but we do not manage other than AIO apps. Tina: it has nothing to do with apps... it has to do with I am not receiving the text messages from sites Tina: sites that I need to verify my cell phone with RobertJ: ok, wich site does not give you the text messages? Tina: So far I am very disappointed with quality with you guys. I have been hanged up on twice after calling the customer care number and then the past chat, the lady closed the session. I am not understanding how this is such a big issue. Tina: I am not getting texts from ANY online sites Tina: Google, Instagram, Facebook.... everything dealing with connecting my cell number to these sites and receiving those security codes. Tina: If I don't get those security codes through my cell phone text I am unable to access those accounts properly RobertJ: ok, allow me a moment please. RobertJ: ok, mam i checked the information but unfortunately AIo does not support short codes at this moment they will be activated in the third week of December. Tina: These are not codes... there are just texts with security number s RobertJ: yes, im sorry but still AIo does not support those security questions the system will not provide that information becouse the apps of facebook and the others are separately. Tina: so then you are telling me there is no way to access those accounts through my phone? Tina: due to the fact that I have to provide a security code? RobertJ: if you have a computer with you, you may log inn to the sites and go to settings and there you may fined the security numbers. Tina: no. I have tried that as well. RobertJ: i am so sorry mam but Aio does not provide that information becouse the apps you have are separately from us. Tina: so then I have wasted my money.. what's the point of having apps if my cell phone provider does not allow me to access those account due to receiving a security number to verify my cell phone number, Makes no sense at all RobertJ: ok, please allow me a moment. RobertJ: what type of phone do you have mam? Tina: are you not able to see that information? RobertJ: please allow me a moment to check the information to see if there is any other way to help you. Tina: I have the android smartphone RobertJ: O thank you just a question have you tried to reset the phone? Tina: yes, and I have uninstalled the apps. My problem is not the phone or the apps. its getting text messages from Facebook, Google and Instagram with a few numbers and letters to enter into my account (even online off my computer) to verify that this is my cell phone number RobertJ: ok may I have the phone number please to verify again your account? Tina: --------- RobertJ: thank you do you have a Pin number? RobertJ: yes i have your account with the same number and your name TINA KEEN Tina: yes Tina: ---- RobertJ: ok now your issue is from those sites facebook, google and Instagram they don belong to AIo. Tina: its shouldn't have to belong to them ANY cell phone provider can work with getting a text from any of those sites to VERIFY my number... that's all its for So all three of those site have one common issue... not getting a text through with Aio service... because Facebook, Instagram and Google don't belong to aio?? then every other service provider would have the same issue RobertJ: yes ma like i sed at the beginning you will need to wait for the services to be active on December for us to help you with this issue. Tina: So when will this happen? RobertJ: this will be active on the third week of December. Tina: So is this just an issue with my service or everyone else's who use aio? RobertJ: well mam you are the only person with this issue at this time. Tina: Then where do you get the estimate of mid December before it works? RobertJ: i asked my superviser and he provide me that information. Tina: ok I will wait for that answer. RobertJ: so may you please try to get your security questions and try to go in the sites becouse Aio does not have that information. Tina: its trying to VERIFY my cell phone number.. it cant verify that ---------- is my cell phone number unless I get the text from them RobertJ: allow me a moment please mam. RobertJ: ok those security codes Aio does not provide them becouse the apps are not from AIo. Tina: that makes absolutely no sense. then how does every other cell phone provider work with them? Tina: How about a refund and I send this phone back. Its useless if I cant access anything on a normal website because my cell phone service provider does not allow me to verify me cell phone number with the account so I can access them off my cell phone. I am very unsatisfied with the quality of service and customer service RobertJ: im sorry mam we understand you but AIo does not have those massages you need Tina: How about a refund and I send this phone back. Its useless if I cant access anything on a normal website because my cell phone service provider does not allow me to verify me cell phone number with the account so I can access them off my cell phone. I am very unsatisfied with the quality of service and customer service RobertJ: im so sorry mam but Aio does not make refunds. RobertJ: i like to really help you but sence the apps are not from Aio.. Tina: Well then what a waste of money time and service. I will be leaving reviews everywhere of my experience with you all Aio failed! There is NO point as a customer and a business owner to have this service when 98% of my work is connected to online social media sites and as well as e-mail. I am very unhappy with the customer service and what company doesn't have a way to contact an employee or customer service to get help. Hanging up on a customer is not polite, not once or even twice. Hope this helps with any of you out there who are in the hunt for a cell phone provider or have even considered Aio.
The Lamb Family I recently received an email requesting a specific date for their wedding. I wanted to share with all of you how easy it is to be scammed even in this industry. Here are images of the email between a "potential client" and myself. Once you read over it I will explain a few things. I am throwing this blog post together before running off to church but I would hat to see others get scammed. Now a few things hit a red flag with me
1. They were interested in immediate payment 2. They have never seen my work 3. They were not releasing any wedding details 4. They detailed specifics of haw many will be attending. Ok so I never take payment until I have met the couple and signed a contract. I have never met a couple who wasn't interested in seeing the photographers work. Details for the wedding are important because it determines if I have to travel and other minor details. Who honestly really knows how many people really know how many people exactly will be at the wedding until they received RSVP's back or its a small wedding. Never book a wedding or take any type of payment from someone who you know nothing about and they know nothing about you. Its too easy in todays world to get scammed. I posted this on my personal page and here was one of the replies... a link. Check it out for yourself. http://petapixel.com/2012/08/15/beware-craigslist-scammers-hunting-for-gullible-wedding-photographers/ Almost word for word. Be careful on what info you give out. How this helps someone!! KokoJade Boutique
Phone: (979) 480-0000 Email: [email protected] I am in love with this shoot and this family! They were fun, fun! We had a chance to get some shots with the mini horse and horse on the property and I think I need more shoots with horses. They are so beautiful and look even more gorgeous when you add these young ladies into the image with them. Plus the light was perfect! Ugh Can I please get all my family shoots like this?! I have so many awesome shots from this family shoot that I am seriously in LOVE with the turnout. Plus it helps when the family is fun and easy going. Here is a peak at some of your images Lynn!!! =) I hope you love them as much as I do. ***Do not screen shot any TKP images. You do not have permission to any of these photos.

I feel pretty honored when another photographer wants me to take their photos! Sonja is designing her website and needing some headshots to post on her "about me" section so we literally set up the shoot the following day && I think we did pretty good for racing against the sun! As a photographer, being in front of the camera, for me, is very hard and I think I can safety say Sonja might be the same. But oh my, when you look at these photos she looks pretty amazing!
Life is uncertain.
While we wake up each morning we can't help but feel overwhelmed. Between bills, work, our family, errands and just life itself can feel like so much weight on our shoulders. You can't help but wonder what God's plans are for us. Between the stress and hard times life can feel like you have fallen into a deep pit. I have always wondered myself why I am who I am today and why I am where I am. My plan and God's plan are two different things I am sure. I have caught myself sitting back and just watching my girls giggle and play. I sit back and admire their sweet faces and tears fill my eyes. How can I be worthy to have such precious children. These beautiful little beings that look up to me, who watch my every move and count on me. Its so hard not to thank the Lord. Life is too precious and not long enough. When I started taking pictures of my children it was a just because, why not. It went from grabbing my camera when I can remember to not leaving the house without it. It may have been intrusive in some situations to be bringing the camera out but these are the moments that can never be replayed, revisited or redone. These beautiful little lives are growing. They will become young adults, then to moving out then off to having families of their own. While grabbing the camera every time we left home I did not realize the importance it would have on me. Photography helped lead the way to realizing how precious time is and I now look back and see all of those wonderful moments that we have had and no matter how old they get, those memories are mine to keep, even if I lose those images. I can only fathom what I will be feeling and looking back on when I get the opportunity to photograph our feature grandchildren. Carrying around my camera with me is an obsession... an obsession I cant see ever giving up. These 3 little ladies I have in my care are gifts from the one and only and it would be a shame to not document their growth, their sweet faces, their personalities and most of all, their lives. The bills, work, errands and lives struggles will always be there but our children will not. They were given to us and not by accident. God was paving my future when I was at my most awful moments in life and I had not one clue. Not one clue what he had in store for me. He laid the path for me to be who I am today. What a blessing to it's for me to have these precious lives in my hands. I just can't wrap my mind around! God is pretty amazing. God is great. I get to be with my children full time and the love that grew for taking photos of them, that then grew to a passion of photography. My children is why I started taking photos and my children is what lead me to loving the camera. My children are why I push to better myself and photography. Silly how things work out. I don't know what tomorrow holds, none of us do but I don't want time get by without taking time out for family. God has plans for me and I am sure there is more to life that he will teach me. I smile now because I was told so many horrible things and at times I felt like the world had ended.... but all I see are blessings. Beautiful God given blessings!! How can you resist that? How could I not smile? How could I be resentful to those hateful people when what I have in front of me is a beautiful family and the blessings and love from our creator... Just makes you want to jump for joy, to grab them up and kiss them till they start yelling that I am smothering them. Selected winner for the Birthday Giveaway
