I am very upset with Verizon at this moment, which is why I am reaching out to the corporate office. I have been a Verizon customer for over 20 years & I have Fios since 2007. I went on a birthday trip this past January 2024 on a cruise to the Caribbean. I called Verizon before I left for my trip asking what I should do so that I would not have a huge phone bill when I got home. I was told that I could pay an additional $10.00 a day to have internet, data, & make phone calls. When I got home there was a phone bill of 707.83, I called & was very upset about this bill. I was told several times that there was nothing they could do.
I spoke to a supervisor and was told that he was going to take care of this bill. Time went by & I never heard back about. I had to keep calling over & over again asking about this bill. I kept getting the runaround over this bill. I am out of contract & I will take my business elsewhere. I don't need to stay with verizon & $700.00 is almost half of my paycheck & I can't afford a 700.00 phone bill however Verizon can afford to absorb this cost. This is on verizon and not me because I did my due diligence and called ahead to ask these questions. I was never told I should not make calls in the middle of the Ocean because of the international charges. I am VERY FRUSTRATED with your company & I am writing to voice my disappointment and I will be taking all of my business to another carrier.

I bought a broken phone from Best buy on the 17th. Cancel the service with Verizon on the 20th. Only had the phone for two and a half days and they sent me a bill for $125. Call Verizon. They credited me $75 and charging me $50 for having a phone for two and a half days. That is sad. When I called to have the phone deactivated on Verizon side, but because of the notes and the computer they were able to give me at least $75 credit but leaving me with a balance of $50 for having a broken phone for two and a half days. That's sad. I will never ever want to deal with Verizon Wireless again. Point Blank.

I went to Verizon store in West Plains, Mo to get a new off of Verizon, the sales rep said if it doesn't work where you live, bring it back, no cost. It didn't work, took back. Now Verizon wants $278 dollars.

I was having trouble with the Internet quite often so I got a new router recently. It’s worse than the first one I had. I cannot tell you how many times I have to either call or use the Verizon app which most times doesn’t help to get my Internet working. I have to do this about every two days. If I get three days without interruption that’s a miracle. People are very nice of Verizon but this whole thing is baloney. There are some days I can’t get it back at all unless I want to spend an hour on the phone. If I could have a better service I definitely would. This service absolutely stinks.

S22 Samsung phone quit working. Would not connect to Verizon network service. I took it to Verizon store 3 times. They installed a new Sim card and the phone still would not work. They finally told me to file it under my insurance after I was without the use of my phone for almost 3 weeks. Verizon sent me another phone. I shipped the non-working phone back to them via UPS. There were no damage whatsoever to my phone when it was shipped. Verizon sent me a bill for $492.00 claiming my phone was damaged when they received it and they could not give me any credit on my bill. I spoke to Daniel, the supervisor and the customer service representative, Anniticia and they both gave off the negative vibes of, "OH WELL, NOT OUR PROBLEM."
I've advised friends and family to be very careful with Verizon as they will not rectify issues that they may have. I've been a customer of Verizon for over 10 years but plan to move my business elsewhere moving forward. This experience has been horrible. I'm going to make sure potential customers know of my dilemma so they don't be duped by Verizon. How do I know that the phone was damaged. I have no proof of anything. Am I supposed to take their word without proof?? Anyone reading this review...DO NOT OBTAIN VERIZON SERVICES. BAD NEWS!!!!

I have been a Verizon customer for over 9 1/2 years. I have had several phones, tablets and a Galaxy watch. My bill started out at a affordable rate in the beginning then slow climbed to an outrageous rate of almost $400. THIS was after I had paid off all the phones, tablets and watch. I had less than $100 on one phone. I downgraded all my plans and had basic service. I had been doing split pays to try to keep my service. But I just couldn't keep up with the way they charge you "one month in advance". A month you haven't even used yet. So, my phones were temporarily suspended.
I called to discuss my options, I was told by Nick, and Lance (girl) Verizon customer service reps. That I wouldn't be charged while my phones were suspended. And I could have time to pay my past due, plus my next month, the one I haven't even used. To get my phones back on...$650. And I had to keep my service current if I wanted to keep my numbers I've had for 9 1/2 yrs. I am disabled. I have doctors...several that I would need to get in touch with and give a new number...anyway. Seeing I was told I wasn't going to be charged while I was coming up with this enormous amount, ok. Then I called back 3 days later because Lance had told me I only owed $503.59 when I spoke to her. And I get an email saying I still owed $650.
This time I spoke to Eve. A supervisor. I was told that those customer service reps didn't know what they were saying, and yes I have proof of all this, and that I would still be charged regardless of my service being suspended because I still had service...I said "wait...how can you charge me for service I can't use? I can't call anyone, can't text, no one can call me,or text me.. so..what service are you charging me for?" She was speechless. I told her to shut them all off. Then I asked her why I owed $650 and not $503. She told me I still owed $99.99 on a payment plan on one of the phones...so in the end I paid $612.58..
They erased all my text messages on my phones...ones I've had for 9 1/2 years...you know the special ones you save because your brother-in -law passed away and you will never get another one from him....so you just wanted to have it...or the one from your daughter with the pictures of the birth of your granddaughter...all gone...Then a few days later...I get another Email...You have $98 dollar credit from Verizon! Seriously?! The $99.99 payment plan? So, I called again...it will be 2 weeks for them to send me a paper check...they hounded me...with phone calls, emails...and told me they would ruin my credit if I didn't pay what I owed right away...that they would say it was for non payment....been with them for 9 1/2 years...this is the thanks I get?! DON'T USE VERIZON. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM! Go with T-MOBILE or CRICKET.

While working for Palm Beach County I needed a reliable cellphone service after trying numerous services and cellphones, Stumbled upon a Verizon with a Kyocera Dura Force Phone. Never lost, or had interrupts service while using this type of phone, meanwhile a iPhone lost service in too many places in the county and I returned it in 3 days, So I believe it was the phone itself that guaranteed me smooth connection.

I just recently cancelled my family plan with Verizon given the increasingly expensive monthly bill, and also the awful cell coverage (always LTE in areas they claimed would be 5G). Having moved over to Mint mobile which is 100% better in both coverage and cost, I discover Verizon continued to take $137 illegally for a month of service we were no longer customers with them. In addition to this, they began claiming I owe $255 for two cell phones we bought when we signed up for the family plan, at which time we explicitly told the salesman upon purchase we did NOT want any contracts or outstanding fees tying us into a monthly plan.
We repeated we wanted to pay for the phones entirely upfront in part exchange for our old iPhones which the salesman claimed to do, yet now we discover he actually lied to us with no accountability for this RIDICULOUS fee they’re expecting us to pay since we apparently “left our plan early”. I’ve called Verizon around 4x in the last couple months and been lied to by two additional customer service providers promising reimbursement and a call back to confirm, yet this never happened and I continue to receive invoices on an amount I do not owe. I deeply regret ever using the Verizon service due to how generally deceptive they are as a company. Please go elsewhere and save yourself the time, money and stress! Mint mobile is so much better.

Verizon was offering iPhone upgrades and would pay off current balance of my phone. Had to mail my phone and have evidence it was received. Now they are still charging me for the balance even though they received my phone which was working perfectly.

Buyer beware, Verizon will actually raise your rates when you’re not looking. They will promise you a price lock and then all the sudden you’ll get a bill for double.. And they’ll say “we’re so sorry” and then argue with you for months to try to fix it. Eventually you’ll get somebody to give you credits to get some of the money back, but nobody actually fixes the issue.. It went down the tubes after Alltel. No one’s actually interested in fixing the issues. Just raising your rates or trying to sell you something. Shame on them.

I traded my Iphone 13 Pro Max, which was paid off, for the 15 Pro Max on November 30, 2023. Verizon offered me $830 for my Iphone 13 Pro Max. The balance on the new phone was $360 that I would paid over time at $10 a month. When I traded the phone, Verizon gave me a contract that did not reflect my trade-in value. I asked the representative why $830 trade-in value wasn't reflected on the contract. She told me it's because they haven't received my phone and don't know what condition it will be in when they get it.
Trusting that Verizon will do the right thing, I went through with the trade-in. Verizon sent the package for my phone and I mailed it to them. I received a confirmation email on 12/11/2023 stating my device is in great shape and I can check out my credit on the site. In January, I went to login to Verizon to view my bill and paid off the phone. I was shocked to realize the pay off was $1160. I thought it was a mistake so I immediately called Verizon only to find out it wasn't a mistake. Verizon tricked me into believing I was entering into a trade-in contract and took my phone. I am left without a phone and still have to pay full price for theirs. Verizon is deceiving customers into these trade-in contract and stealing their devices. Don't make my mistake. Choose another carrier.

Verizon support team lacks training! I called to make a payment and the woman I was on the phone with was helping me with my payment and in the mitts of the call she told me I qualify for a credit and said I can get an iPad and or Apple Watch Ultra 2, I told if the month costs isn’t much more than yes and she said it would be 40 in total more a month for both.
Fast forward I went along with the deal, email comes to finalize order and it says amount due is $650 and I had already explained to her that I wasn’t purchasing outright, so I ask her, "Why does it say amount due today is $650." She says, "Don’t worry about that, it’s just the total amount" and reiterated that it is 40 a month for both Apple products, so I put my card info i... Big mistake. I wake up to my bank saying my checking account is nearly $1000 in the negative!!! I called to cancel the order first thing the next morning!
The lady tells me I will be refunded by payday which is Friday… She lied, so I called Friday because now my paycheck paid my negative balance and left me a little money from the week in there… So anyways I called Friday and they didn’t see that I called so I repeated this like 2 or 3 times a day for a whole week and each person I spoke to didn’t see a ticket that the last person told me was created to get me my money back or had a new lie to tell me on when or how this is going to happen.
So here we are a whole week later and 15 lies later and 4 supervisors later and I’m still waiting on the money they stole from me at this point! They want what’s owed to them or else but other way around they don’t care... I’ve only been with them for 4 months and I cannot and will not recommend their services to anybody!! STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON!!! 8.5k reviews with 1.3 stars says enough. I am ready to pay cancellation fees just to get away from Verizon!!! All they do is lie!

I am a Senior Citizen, 65 yrs. of age, about to turn 66, I have asked Verizon on several occasions to give me the Senior discount, for some reason, I was told the services I received is not qualified for Senior Discount. Well today, was 1 of the worst days, I had with Verizon, I called them early this morning and spoke with a nice gentleman name: Dwayne, and he told me the reason why I phone was so slow, and getting hot was it was overloaded, and I needed to upgrade, which I agreed to. I ended paying them $128.53 for last month's bill, and the $40.00 balance I owed on the Samsung Ultra 21, and the taxes on the new phone. My total bill was $249.00, and some change.
I had told Dwayne I would pick up my phone on Providence hwy in Dedham. Their rep Nazareth told me my order wasn't there yet. So I went and had something to eat and waited about 2 hours. Then I called Verizon to asked them what was happening with my order, the rep on the phone called the Dedham office, and spoke with 2 different people, I was on hold for over an hour, finally the rep at the Dedham told me he was canceling my order, and I should come in and order my phone over again, after holding on the phone for over 1 hour, and some... The rep on the phone told me while we both were waiting to see if he could apply all the discounts I was given, she realized he hung up on the both of us. And she said, "Ms. ** he has left us". She apologized many times.
Your Company is getting worse and worse, when it was New England Telephone, it was its best. And shortly after it turned to Verizon it was still good, but now of late, it has gotten increasingly worst. Can you imagine, I spent almost 1 hour on the phone with Dwayne. Then I spent over 2 hours waiting for my order to reach the Dedham, Mass. Store, then over 1 hour on the phone with your rep, with the Dedham store reps, for the last rep to just hang up on the both of us. What I think is that I should receive the 24 version of the phone I ordered with no down payment. The Dedham reps should pay for there lousy ineffective Customer Service. And for all this inconvenience I should get a few months free, what do you think?
Also, I went to Canton Verizon store to pick up my Internet service kit. Your rep Adora helped me. I explained to her what happened, and she said she could help me. I asked her would she call and find out when my money would be refunded, the rep on the phone said to me, up to 7 days. I said why can't they apply the monies right now, and let me get that 24 and she said no, you have to wait. I am furious, your reps screwed up, and I have to wait for a refund before ordering again. It's not like being on a fixed income, monies are waiting around for me to spend it. I would appreciate someone with clout to call me with some answers to what happened to me today with Verizon, and its staff members? I am thanking you for understanding my issues with Verizon. Regards, Ms. **.

I have been a loyal customer for 20 years, bill paid early or on time every month. However, I just had eye opening experience with Verizon that let me know they do not value their customers. They are about the more about the money. It is not a company I plan to stay with much longer. I went out of the country and got a text message about $10 pass to use my phone. I was under the impression that it is the way I would be charged. My husband who got the same message and it worked for his phone. But they charged me international roaming charges that if I knew it was happening I would have never used my phone.
They told me they could give me a $40 which I had to fuss to get. I was expecting to pay $200 extra but ended up being much more. Just felt this is something that has never happened before and they could have fixed it so that my husband and I both had it. I am very disappointed with Verizon who I have highly supported for many years. Definitely not a company I want to give my business to anymore. Very disappointed in this company.

Verizon Cons: Does not honor company discounts on unlimited plans. Sales people have carelessly told untruths, which Verizon refuses to rectify even as a basic compromise. Customer Service is unhelpful. Billing is intentionally unclear so that they can take advantage of customers. Very expensive. Verizon Pros: Reliable coverage, if you don't care about the above.

I purchased a new phone via Walmart through Verizon for the Black Friday sale. When I received my phone it overheated so I called Verizon. They said not to worry because it was in the 30 days so they will send me a new one and I will return the defective one. The lady told me the only charge would be tax and it would be refunded once they received my old phone. I received my new phone and returned the old one as discussed. Then all of a sudden they start charging me for a new phone at full price. I had already paid in full for this phone.
It has been 3 months and I have called 3 times and gone into a store and no one is helping. They are now telling me the first girl cancelled my original order and ordered me a new one, not an exchange. I paid $180 for his phone. It is an older version not a fancy new one. They are now charging me $1000 for the same exact phone!!! I have now been on hold for 1 hour and 11 minutes. They are hoping I hang up. I have been with them for over 26 years and now they will lose all my business. Seriously who in their right mind would pay $1,000 for an older model phone when they just paid $180 for it. I think they are just sitting by my hold button laughing at me as not one person has said we are still working on it. They are scammers. How hard is it to fix a mistake what a employee did.

I have had a very disappointing, frustrating, and ridiculous situation happen today. I added international calling to my plan for my vacation to Europe (in October 2023), what I thought I signed up for was a 30 day subscription on my bill. When I got back I expected it to no longer be on my bill, however, it continued to be charged to my account. I went to the Rochester NH Verizon store (which is the closest store to me and it is 30 miles away) they were very helpful and able to cancel my international plan and get me a refund for the extra month charge.
I got my bill again this month (billing for January 2024) and the foreign access is still being charged to my account. I called Verizon at home, they stated (after being on the phone for an hour) I had to go back to the store and do it there, they cannot help me. I drove the 30 miles to the Verizon Store, where they very rudely told me they could not do anything for me even though previously on January 11th the employees were very helpful. So, I just wasted 3 hours and never got the second month of the foreign charge removed. Thank you for nothing Verizon, they got their money so I am SOL...

Had a problem with my phone not being able to swipe and retain my previous page. Contact the tech support who was outsourced and was told to reset the phone but not to factory conditions. I did so and all hell happened. First it deleted my call filter. Then deleted my SIM card. Now I have no cell service on Wi-Fi or Verizon lines. Contacted tech support through email and was told they would call me tomorrow to solve the problem. The fact that my phone says the SIM card is not working and I have no cell service whatsoever seems to go way above their head. As much money as Verizon making they should not have to outsource their tech support to a third world country who reads from cue cards.

I have been with Verizon for multiple decades. I am going to find a new carrier once my phones are paid off. There are so many problems with this greedy company. Where to start? They are trying to save money by sending help calls to foreign places. I needed help last year with a very simple problem. I spent over an hour on the phone. All I wanted was to switch phones with my two different numbers. One had a sim card and the other was a newer phone that did not. The people I talked to insulted me and kept threatening me. They threatened that I would have to pay for my phones all at once instead of monthly because I was trying to do this... I knew they were confused but they Just didn't understand. They were downright hostile though. It was crazy. I had to hang up on them.
The next person that picked up after I called again was also very confused and kept trying to set me up for different things. These people on the help lines simply don't know how to do their jobs. Everything confused them. Finally, she advised I go into a store to get help. The stores are the worst. My problem was fixed immediately by the in store employee. Speaking of the stores. They are terrible. You may wait for over an hour for help. Even if there are only a few customers in the store. The staff is usually pretty knowledgeable. But they are very underhanded and will try to confuse you so that they can upsell you at every corner. If you hate dealing with car salesman then it feels similar here.
The service is absolute garbage. I only have the starter ultimate plan. They cut my internet off to a snail's speed every day. I can't even listen to streaming music. This has become a huge problem lately. Will I get better internet if I upgrade my services? My 2 year old phone? I'm not going to bother. If their towers have to throttle me like this everyday for the past year, when I already pay them a ton of money, can't say I am excited to pay more just for them to do what they are supposed to do. The last thing I will say is that ConsumerAffairs is not where I wanted to make this review. Usually finding reviews is an easy task. Verizon makes it a little harder to write and find reviews apparently.

I've been a member of Verizon for a year and they have overcharged me for months for a gateway I had returned at least 6 months ago, and for a phone line which I never opened. I spoke to customer support over 8 times regarding this issue. Each phone call was over an hour long. I finally got them to reverse the fees, but they were on the verge of reporting me to the credit bureau for a mistake they did. Now, I'm struggling for them to reverse the charges of re-enabling a line, it was discontinued due to nonpayment of the original issue. Phone support is the worst. I do not recommend Verizon service to anyone. It's a waste of time and money when it comes to speaking to customer service.

It would help to have a psychologist and therapist before dealing with this company because they take it to the point of a heart attack. They make mistakes and tell you things that the next time you call, they deny and say they told you wrong and offer a different solution and you finish, come to find out it didn't happen, and get overcharged. Then it takes you several months to get credit back and that is if you do so.

I fell for this free iPhone 10 scam and a free watch through Verizon. At $134 a month for 36 months and a $408.68 unexpected balloon payment just 2 months into the 3yr contract. I might have continued with the service reluctantly if it wasn't for the fact that I hardly had any reception where I live and work! It is very frustrating when the signal just fades in and out until it drops the call! That is when I decided that I would just buy the phone and watch and switch carriers back to Boost Mobile that I had previously had.
After paying 3 months service + the $408 balloon payment, they still charged me $1321.92 for the phone and 302.03 for the watch. I paid the money to get out from underneath their service. Then they had the nerve to send me a final payment of $110.23, telling me that I received the service first and have to pay for it on the 30th every month. I brought myself in to pay the phone off on the 28th because I knew it was going to become due on the 30th. They charged me $1321.92 for a $1399.99 phone. I told them to quit ripping me off, I have had enough, I was already quoted the payoff, and I paid it, and I'm not paying a dime more. Now they have went to a collection agency and I have it on my credit report. They have not heard the last of me! I always thought Verizon was a complete ripoff since every payphone that was Verizon in the 80's and 90's would charge a $1.50 to make a local call.
Nothing wrong with the iPhone and watch once I switched back to Boost Mobile, I was going to get the unlimited plan for $50 a month, and the guy in the Boost store said if I put it on auto pay, I would only have to pay $25 a month? I get a $26.38 charge to my account once a month, and haven't had a hiccup in the service going on 7 months now.

They increased my monthly service fee $10 (w taxes & surcharges, etc, maybe $11 to $12 per month). Told them I was on strict retirement income and needed to stay at the original rate- They said they could do it- They credited me the extra 10 bucks per month for the first month, but each month it would go back up again and I would have to call- Went on for 3 months and I kept telling them I didn't want to keep calling in and waiting an hour to talk to someone and they kept assuring me it was going to get done and permanently corrected, but it never was.
I gave up the 4th time and went to another carrier- then found out the "FREE" phone I was given (which happened to be the worst phone I ever had) was NOT FREE- I owed them a balance on the phone because I " left early". Was never aware I was under any contract and had been told many times I was NOT under any contract or agreement- had been with Verizon for 20 years and this is the way they were going to treat me- See ya later Verizon- I perform in front of 400 to 500 people every night and I am making fun of Verizon every night on stage and telling folks, whatever you do, do NOT even consider Verizon for anything....

I bought a PS5 from Verizon. The controller is not sinking with the console. I Called and of course I got an outsourced person. I don’t mind but they never answer your questions but always try to sell you something. I reached out to their customer service chat and spoke with at least 8 agents. Everyone had a different answer, I wasted 2 months of my time. The outcome is that I have to return my device to Sony and they will send me a refurbished replacement.

On 12/11/23 someone hacked into my account. They placed an insurance claim on my phone requesting a new one and added home insurance to my account. I received a text from Verizon that they were shipping a phone, so I was alerted that there was fraud on my account. I immediately went into my app and contacted customer service. I told them what had happened. They promised me they would reverse the charges and cancel the phone. That took 2.5 hours. Then on 1/12/24 I got a preview of my bill, and it was $94.03 higher than normal. The person from the month before did not remove any of the charges she just cancelled the phone. I still had charges on my account for the additional home insurance and a $50 fee for the phone that I didn't order and never received. I called again on that day. I spoke with a different representative, and he also ensured me the charges would all be removed.
Today, 1/26/24 Verizon charged me for the extra $94.03. I went to a Verizon store, and they gave me a different number to call. I just spent an hour on the phone with a different representative. He accused me of not reporting the fraud. He told me that I called and asked for the phone and added the insurance to my account. I told him I did not do any of that and that was fraud. He told me that I didn't call the right fraud number. He blamed everything on me. For an hour he refused to give me a refund for the extra money. Eventually he gave me a credit to my next month's bill. I was unable to get a refund. I have been a Verizon customer for 22 years. This customer service was absolutely ridiculous.

Verizon Wireless used to be the best...but oh how far this star has fallen. Terrible cell data coverage, even with an unlimited plan that hardly gets used.

Verizon's coverage maps are extremely deceiving. Next to no cell coverage anywhere I go in my area even though the map shows full 5g coverage. When you reach out to them, they offer solutions that don't actually provide any benefit. For example, when I indicated to them this was an issue for me, they offered to send me a Network extender for my home. Unfortunately, the problem I experience happens away from my home and work. At home and at work, I have wifi connection which in turn provides me service so I can use my phone. It's when I'm out and about, relying on the verizon network when I have no connectivity. I pay too much to have a touchscreen landline.

I am only in month 5 with Verizon after being a T-Mobile customer for 15+ years. I ended up at Verizon because they were offering lower monthly bills. This is where it gets bad. Verizon was very quick to snatch me from T-Mobile without explaining the guidelines. They told me it was easy to transport my phone number (which I carried for 9 years) and they would even call t-mobile to take care of it. They did not explain to me how the process works. So after calling T-Mobile to take my phone number, everything went wrong. It wasn’t until that point the representatives were honest with me and tried to down talk T-Mobile and how they are strict with transferring their services. So now my phone number was in limbo, T-Mobile was going to charge me $400+ to switch back, and all Verizon could do was apologize for their error. They offered me 2 lines with 2 phones for $50 for their “mistake”.
My bill should have been $50 per line. Every month, I have paid well over $160 for my phone bill. Customer service is horrible and can never give a direct answer. It’s always long silences and extreme waits while they “view” the account. So long to the point I get frustrated and hang up and just pay the bill. And out of all that, I still continue with Verizon, but here is why this will be the last month I use Verizon services and pay T-Mobile whatever it takes to come back.
I set up a payment arrangement with my bank account for 1/19 and 1/31. I woke up on 1/24 to a text message that my account was suspended for nonpayment and the full balance was due to restore service. I tried to call 611 to inquire why the first payment was never taken since my bank account was on file and had well over enough to cover the arrangement. When I called, I was directed to “financial services” to a recording that repeatedly told me I could either pay the bill or hang up. Those were my ONLY 2 options. The recording repeatedly told me no agent could help me with an arrangement, so I could either pay by IVR, or be sent a text message link to make the payment. I wanted to know WHY the payment wasn’t taken. I had to pay the bill in full before I could speak to a representative. NEVER EVERRRRRR HAVE I EXPERIENCED SUCH AN ENCOUNTER WITH ANY OTHER PHONE COMPANY!!!
That was very disrespectful to a customer! I am DONE with Verizon!! I will NEVER do business with a company that tells me I can not inquire about my bill, I can not speak to a representative with concerns until I make the payment first. I made the payment THEN I was offered to speak to rep who told me there was “glitch” in the system which is why it didn’t take the first payment and offered to take the suspension fees off for next months bill. That does not compensate for the fact that I had to pay the bill in full TODAY and the audacity of Verizon to set it where if your account is suspended, you can’t speak with a live rep until you pay.
I am DISGUSTED and that will be the last bill I EVER pay Verizon!!!! I am prepared to pay T-Mobile thousands if that’s what it takes! At least I got free Netflix, Apple TV and AAA with T-Mobile. All I get is crappy service, high bills with a basic plan with Verizon and then you have the AUDACITY to block me from your reps until my bill is paid. T-Mobile would NEVER!!! BYE VERIZON.

I've been a T-Mobile user since I bought my first cell phone two decades ago. I was very loyal to them and never had even one issue with my service throughout the years. My only minor complaint with T-Mobile would be the voice quality when making calls but honestly calls for me have become obsolete with everyone I know preferring texting instead so I really didn't care that much about that.
I recently decided to switch to Verizon since they offered a great promotion for a free iPhone 14 Pro with no trade in required. I brought a family member with me and was told our monthly bill would be $165 dollars which was very close to the previous T-Mobile statement. Well, not only is my bill way over that given estimate (it's 204 dollars a month for two lines) but the service on this phone is atrocious. It's just horrible. It takes me so much longer to browse the internet on my phone and it's constantly losing service.
I never in my life dealt with any type of issues I have had with my phone and now I am stuck with this company and just want my old service back so badly. Even when updating the plan I am on the service is patchy and my phone is slow. Sometimes a text will take literally two minutes to send. TWO MINUTES! It's ridiculous.

My review of Verizon Wireless customer support? One star – and that's being generous. For over a month, I've been locked in a maddening loop of dropped calls and dead ends, trying to resolve a simple issue. Each time I think we're close to a solution, poof! The call disappears into thin air, leaving me more frustrated and helpless than ever. It's almost as if dropping calls is Verizon's secret weapon. They wear you down with endless loops, hoping you'll just give up and stop calling. But guess what? It's not working. My frustration has morphed into determination, and I'm telling everyone who will listen to avoid this company like the plague. Here's what you can expect:
Dropped calls at the crucial moment: Just when you think you've made headway, the line goes dead. No apology, no callback, just radio silence. It's like talking to a brick wall with a faulty receiver. Endless hold times and automated menus: Prepare to navigate a labyrinth of robotic voices and confusing prompts before even reaching a human. By the time you do, you're so worn down that patience is a distant memory. Unknowledgeable representatives: Even if you manage to connect with a real person, their expertise seems questionable at best. They offer vague platitudes and unhelpful suggestions, leaving you feeling more confused than before.
This experience has pushed me to my limit. I'm exhausted, frustrated, and thoroughly disappointed. And the worst part? I'm stuck in this frustrating limbo until I find a new provider. To anyone considering Verizon, listen to my cautionary tale. It's not worth the stress, the wasted time, or the feeling of utter defeat. Do yourself a favor and head straight to a company that values its customers and actually provides decent customer support. Trust me, your sanity will thank you.

My wife decided on new phones and service and signed up with Verizon and three new phones. After reviewing what she was told and the actual costs of the service we cancelled the service and returned the phones in pristine condition in the original packaging. We then bought three identical phones from another carrier using Verizon towers at over $100.00 a month cheaper for service. We have been billed monthly for the phones we returned for four months now along with threats of collections. My wife has spent hours on the phone with Verizon and the salesman at the store even verified to Corporate the phones had been returned but the bills persist. Stay away from these clowns.

I had Verizon for 17 years as my mobile provider, I was happy with them, but the last 3 years I was not able to get cell service at my cabin in north/east Utah and my daughter and her husband were not able to get cell service at their property near Boulder, Col. so we decided to switch cellular service. I also have home internet with Verizon, which I decided to keep. So I called to cancel cell and made sure they kept my internet. Asked how much I would owe, she was very pleasant and understanding, but did not know what my bill would be. Well, after canceling I was not able to use my Verizon app or even sign into it.
On December 31, I was looking at my bank statement and Verizon billed me $1083.47! I couldn’t get a hold of customer service until Jan. 2nd. She let me know what it was for, but I wanted in my hand the itemized bill, she could not get my email to go through, I spent over an hour as she tried everything to verify my email and couldn’t change my email address. So I still can’t get into my Verizon account to check on my home internet or get my bill do I can take it to my new mobile carrier.
It’s like Verizon is punishing me for changing carriers. I think it is very childish and unprofessional! My internet doubled in price, and I understand this. But if you don’t get cell reception at your place you have to change and my new carrier didn’t try to sell me all the extras, like Verizon. Just imagine what will happen when I switch internet! I’m a bit scared to do that! I am going to take them off of automatic billing for sure!

Didn't explain the contract length. Then told me I had to get 5 G to get hot spot so my bill went from 76 originally senior plan then 91, then 110, then 130 last 3 up in a couple months so asked to drop wi fi. They did. Then I got a different service. They did drop it back to 111 but not acceptable so got my final bill 444. Didn't explain how they came up with that amount so calling tomorrow. What a crappy way to do business.
Getting this straightened around never go back. 2nd time they hit me with this contract for 2 different locations in northern Michigan was trying to use it on. Worked like crap the 1st time last time in and out, stuck with the contract after canceling both times. Phone worked pretty good most places except the first bad wi fi spot up north. Just got to move on. They Don't care if it doesn't work. You sign you're stuck. Good luck all.

I spent 26 hours either at or on phone to fix problems in 2022. In 2023 I spent another 16 hours and my employee paid four hours! And the problem with router still exists! Regardless each month I pay $80 though it cannot be used. I moved my phones to personal and owe now tons of money because you get NO HELP AT ALL on business accounts.

I recently returned a pair of AirPods purchased through Verizon. I followed their instructions returning them unopened within the return window using their prepaid return label. 15 days later, my account still said the package was in transit to Verizon and I had not been issued a credit. I reached out to them via their SMS service to report the issue and try to resolve. Over the course of the next month I was told from Verizon they couldn’t track it because I didn’t have a tracking number (it was their label, UPS confirmed they don’t provide the sender a tracking number on a company prepaid label because the company, Verizon in this case, tracks that) so I was basically out until it showed up at Verizon.
I contacted them again several days later via a support request. Long story short, they called me a liar, saying I didn’t return the item, even though it clearly said return in transit on my account, so they could see the package was returned. Through the course of several weeks, over 10 hours on the phone or via SMS and 9 open, closed and reopened support requests, I finally thought they had resolved the issue. I still didn’t receive a credit after several more days of waiting and several CSR’s reassuring me it was processed.
The product was returned on 11/28/23, I finally received a credit on 1/2/2024. For my wasted time, reexplaining my issue 10 times, multiple hours on hold, etc. I asked if there was anything they could do to make up for the hassle. Well, you can about imagine how that went. Giving customers credit for their lack of customer service evidently goes against their company policies. Don’t bother requesting a manager, they are always conveniently in meetings. Talk about horrible customer service, lack of accountability and unknowledgeable staff. Not to mention they are overpriced, my service is sketchy ant best and they give nothing to existing customers in an effort to try retain their loyalty. I’m very disappointed and would recommend people to shop around before using them as a carrier. I would only use them as a last resort.

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with Verizon Wireless that I feel compelled to share. After deciding to switch from T-Mobile to Verizon, I was initially promised a reasonable monthly rate and even a free iPhone 13. However, this turned out to be the beginning of a series of broken promises and miscommunications. Firstly, the monthly charges were inconsistent and significantly higher than the quoted price of $127.41. Despite numerous complaints, the issue persisted, showcasing a lack of accountability and customer care from Verizon's end. The signal quality, particularly around my office area, was subpar, adding to my frustration.
Furthermore, a Verizon representative had assured me of the possibility to leave the service without penalty after six months if unsatisfied. However, upon deciding to switch due to the unsatisfactory service, I was shocked to find an unwarranted charge of $763.76 for the "free" iPhone 13 deducted from my bank account, in addition to the already paid $1600 for services that were far from satisfactory. I am deeply regretful of my decision to switch to Verizon Wireless and would caution potential customers to reconsider before committing to their services. The lack of transparency, poor service quality, and inadequate customer support have led to a distressing and costly experience.

When I called customer service, the guy, Jayson/Jay, was extremely rude, condescending and talked me in circles. When I asked for a supervisor, he told me they weren’t going to change anything and that my bill was what it was. When I insisted, he said he had to put in a request. Then he proceeded to say out loud what he was typing, extremely condescending, and then he said there is no guarantee that a supervisor will speak to me. Then he asks me if I want to wait on the line with him or be placed on hold. Well my blood pressure is rising with each word out of his mouth, so I tell him to put me on hold.
After a LONG wait, he comes back on and tells me that he is explaining the situation to the supervisor and that he did his job. The supervisor comes on listens to my issue and explains the difference in my bill…like the other rep should have. Then she told me that they are able to see the same information and she couldn’t understand why he told me I was wrong when I was quoting my account on the website.

I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for over 6 years. However, I called Verizon back on Sept. 25th 2023 to speak with a manager about being charged $22 dollars per line to have smartphone line access. Since my wife and I have two phones on Verizon this comes out to an extra $44 dollars per month on top of the $110 we pay for Unlimited talk, text and data. You should not be charged additional fees to have access to your own phone line which is why your paying $110 ($55 dollars per LINE). This is a junk fee to get additional revenue for Verizon. Note, that these lines are PERSONAL not Corporate so these fees are not valid. Furthermore, I found a F&Q on Verizon website which clearly shows a total of $12 dollars (2 phone lines so $6 dollars per line) that was posted on 7/19/2022 to be charged for this very same phone plan not $44 dollars.
I expressed my concern to the manager who found this on the Verizon website and verified what I was saying was correct. The manager then said since this was posted on the Verizon site he would credit me $352 to my account (32 dollars x 11 months = 352 dollars. Remember I'm being charged $44 dollars so you minus the $12 dollars = $32 dollars). The Verizon manager told me this would be credited from Jan. 2023 through Nov. 2023 (11 months) and would appear on my Dec. 2023 bill. I even requested this credit to be texted to me which I have in writing from Verizon on my phone as a record. However, when I called again today 12/27/23 I was told by two customer service rep. that my credit was only for $44 dollars for the month of Sept and they could not help me or honor what I was told by the prior manager or will honor what the F&Q's said online or my text message from Verizon.
I requested to speak with a manager. Told me we would need to wait for hours which we waited for over 1 hour. At the end he told me someone would call me back in 24 hours. At this point appears I need take legal action which my wife and I will take since she is a attorney here in Florida.

The sales agent at Costco was confused and had a very difficult time (over an hour) to get the change set up.

Clearly the salespeople are paid to get people to switch and they lie repeatedly to get new accounts--It is a poor reflection on Costco to allow this practice in their stores.
The reality is that what they tell you is not true, and once they have allowed the 30 day period to pass they send you a bill for $425 for 3 phones---Wait half an hour to get an agent to talk with and they talk in circles--When you say why should I pay $65 a month per line for 3 lines when you offered me $25 a line when I signed up--well, the $25 is only for 4 lines or more--Fine--Add a fourth line since 4 times $25 is still less than 3 time $65---Well--More smoke and mirrors, because the rebates for switching change---It is a total scam and I plan to let everyone know.

Worst customer service from the district mgr, Rachelle, in Bartlesville, OK. She was one of the most unprofessional people I have dealt with. Her former sales team member said I was unable to use a new USB cable without a new wall hub. This sales person said if not needed I could return/replace anytime. I brought back to the store, spoke with the store manager (after she finished up on a "call with her sister"). She immediately said that I could not return or exchange as it was past the 30 day policy. I said we can discuss this, but I want to troubleshoot what the issue is, as I just opened this new wall hub, as my other wall hub worked just fine until it broke a few days ago.
The store mgr focused on no return no replacement conversation, which I disagreed with. I am not responsible for their team member not being trained properly. I said then I will need to talk with her mgr - she called her right away and I said we can troubleshoot 1st before calling. The regional mgr - Rachelle - was very rude immediately - didn't care what I was at the store for - didn't allow me to share with her why I wanted to chat with her - she was combative right front the start of our call - the store mgr had me on speaker and I said to the unprofessional district mgr, Rachelle, that we should end our call as she was on speaker and other customers in her store were able to listen to her unprofessional behavior. Which prompted her to tell me to leave her store.
After the call ended, the store mgr stated that the salesperson that sold me these items were no longer with the store and that they have been "putting out fire after fire" and "are not honoring any returns/exchanges as he was selling items to customers that they did not need." I have 9 phones with Verizon and have NO problem canceling. Who needs to be treated with such disrespect from Verizon. This conversation was recorded on my phone, which will be shared with Corporate. We shall see if Rachelle is held accountable for her unprofessional behavior to a loyal customer.

I explained that I needed a cloth wristband due to an allergy and that I wanted the iPhone that had the ECG capability. “No problem.” Again, this was all recorded.
As soon as I hung up, I got a email stating that my next bill would be $365 and the one after that would be 270 when all I was supposed to be paying was 95 for all of these products.

When your sales representative is back in the office, she then scheduled a call with me. Call never happened.
Again on the record recorded call I asked her to ship me the return labels. After waiting 10 days those didn’t show up. Then I received the iPhone, it does not have a cloth wristband. It does not have the ECG capabilities and despite being reported as free, only $10 a month I receive a bill for $289. So I decided that I’m going to take the products back to the corporate store where some very lovely people in Saginaw Michigan help me and explain that they have to charge your restocking fee which I disputed because my sales representative told me that it’s fully refundable. So I pitch a complete fit after messing with all of this for over two weeks I stormed out of the store.
I called another friendly sales associate in “Texas” who informed me that they will reverse the restocking fee. This time I demanded a text, confirming my understanding of the conversation. It’s so odd, through a Christmas miracle this time they could send a text, but my lovely sales rep name Shane couldn’t, they didn’t have that capability. So what have we learned, Verizon lies.

I called to make sure nothing was going to change in the monthly payment for that one line that was gonna stay and they say everything was going to stay the same. I MADE the payment for all the lines while on the phone with them because I did not want to have any surprises from Verizon, I asked whoever was helping MANY TIMES that our payment for that ONE line was gonna stay the same and that after that $404 payment from Nov, all I was gonna have for next month (December) was going to be that one line $96.

And then you call customer service and they kept repeating whatever they see in the system, saying they "understand you", but trying to explain how they are in the right for trying to charge extra without telling you. I will go ahead and move that last line to Tmobile and I hope more people do the same cause their signal is not even good for the amount they charging and customer service is horrible. I still went to their store first before going to Tmobile wanting to upgrade my phone and instead of give me options, the first thing they did was telling me "you have to pay $75 first" and stared at me. Well, I went across the street and moved all my lines. Now I pay $120 for a NEW PHONE, I have good signal EVERYWHERE, a watch and good customer service. Never again, Verizon.

This experience started 9/24/23 and took almost 3 months to resolve. We canceled our account in its entirety 9/24/23. We had two phone lines and an iPad line. We asked for the final bill before we paid our last bill to see what we would be charged for. We were told that our Ipad would continue to be charged $11/month. We never received our bill so we called on 10/5/23 to get our bill. After speaking with multiple people and asking for a manager, the manager insisted that she could not find our account and could not help us even though I had just spoken with a rep. who pulled up my account. We didn't know what to do. We called back again and finally got our 10/1/23 bill on 10/31, after the 10/24/23 due date.
On 10/31/23 we called because we were worried we were going to get charged a late fee and the bill also showed that we were charged $95.28/month plus tax for the iPad plus late fees. The rep. apologized that we were not told the correct information but there was nothing else she could do. We decided to pay the fee to get out of our complete contract as we no longer trusted Verizon. They lied to us and took money they did not discuss with us. We were supposed to get our final invoice due 11/23 for $71.86. We never received the bill, so we called again on 11/1 because we didn't want to be charged any late fees. We were assured we would not be charged any late fees and the bill was being sent. We called again on 11/20/23 because we still hadn't received the final bill. When I called they now told me we owed $64.75 plus $40 for a prorated fee (she couldn't tell us what for) and we still haven't received the bill.
Every time we call, the amount due goes up and we can't close our account because we are not receiving the bills. We also no longer have online access, so we're at their mercy. We have not only been charged more than we were advised but it has been stressful with the many hours we have spent trying to get this resolved. We are always being told incorrect information and they never do what they say they are going to do. When we finally received the final bill, we called to pay and were told they would charge us a fee to pay via credit card. We also reported them to the BBB and the rep. who contacted us just said he was sorry for not being told the correct information and there was nothing else he could do. Oh, and they sent us to collections even though we had been trying for months to get our bill and couldn't pay it without the bill. We only paid a week after finally getting our bill.

Had a software bug on my phone and looked it up to be a common issue with the users of the phone I bought and tried to get it fixed. My phone was dead with no way to charge it because of the big issue I was having. I took it to my local Verizon store where I bought the phone from asking for help. They didn't even offer to take a look at my phone and instead told me the only thing they could do for me is upgrade my phone (not for free) as I wasn't interested in purchasing a new phone because I knew it was just a big, I went home and headed to my PC. I waited 30 mins for the first representative on their chat platform to tell me the same thing as the store did. I asked to speak to someone from tech support and they connected me with another person who again only offered me a paid upgrade. No one could help me. No one even acknowledged that the issue I was having was a known bug.
Luckily for me I took to the Internet further and between a combination of Reddit users and YouTubers who have also had this issue (10's of thousands) I was able to fix the bug myself with their help. Verizon doesn't care about anything other than grabbing your hard-earned money. I've been a customer for the better half of a decade and have never been late on any payments or anything. My phone has long since been paid off, so I'll be considering switching to T-Mobile or another carrier. Use Verizon Wireless with caution and pray nothing goes wrong with your equipment or they'll only try to convince you to buy something new.

Verizon informed me they’d correct my $2,000 bill that was made in error. Then they turned around a week later and said, "Nah, we’re gonna proceed with this bill." I traveled internationally and opted in their $10 per day plan to avoid international fees. They never documented my call to them. I recorded my phone call with them luckily and they admitted to it being an error. Then the second call to them they said basically, “we don’t know why they said it was an error” and they lost record of the rep who opted me in for the international plan. I’ve been a loyal 12 year customer of theirs and never late on a bill and they treat me like crap. They said they could waive $500 from the bill and put me on a payment plan for the rest. That would be great if this was my fault but it’s not and they screwed up so I’d rather this go into collections and mess up my credit than pay something I don’t justifiably owe and it looks like I’m going to have to do just that.

I don't even know where to start... Most recently, I attempted to have my phone number ported to Verizon from another carrier and that simple exercise turned into a 5 day odyssey of phone calls with a half dozen different tech support and customer service people plus an hour visit to a Verizon store. Even though I was promised that my number would be ported over by the end of the weekend, I ended up just giving up and walking into a T-Mobile store on Monday to get a different phone number with them.
Currently, I'm trying to access a product webpage on Verizon's website and every time I do, I get logged off. I tried accessing a product page 3 different ways on Android, and on computer with 2 different browsers and 2 on different networks, and I chatted with tech support multiple times, and nobody is able to help me. My guess is they are preventing people from leaving reviews for that particular wonky product, an Inseego MiFi X PRO 5G UW Mobile Hotspot that can only be purchased from Verizon as of yet. It was never my intention to use Verizon in the first place, but due to circumstances beyond my control, sort of, I ended up having to use Verizon for my mobile wifi. I will most likely be trying ATT next, an equally garbage company.

To all customers before purchasing Verizon services read your contracts. Even after you pay for your device in full they will still charge you for monthly fees you unauthorized. Under Equipment charges on page 4 you will find the charges. When calling the billing department they will say, "We're sorry, and we will refund you 20 percent." It should be paid in full and should not be a refund of 20 percent of the payments made. This is the way Verizon will steal money from the consumers. We highly recommend to call the state attorney of Illinois or any state and file a lawsuit against Verizon Wireless.

I signed up and was told by representative and I had a piece of mail stating it (why I switched). I thought I was getting unlimited plan for $70/mo and home internet $45/mo. I was told it was the paperless billing price. Two days later received a text bill reminder that $18724. Was due on 29th! I called and $35 activation fee, $90 unlimited and $55 internet were stated. I was not told there was an activation fee or that price didn’t start on day one. Plus they didn’t even set payment up, yet it took 2 hours in store! They said I would have to pay the higher rates for 1st month! Said it was in electronic agreement in the details that I signed. After inputting my bank account for second time- did it on first day. It changed my due date to 22nd from 29th!
Also I don’t like apps on my phone, but the sales guy told me the app shows you the best place in your home to plug-in the Internet. Which is a total lie. The direction say plug in the unit. Check to see what the signal strength is. If it turns red unplug it and find another spot. Nowhere did it have it searching for it in my home.

Of course they cannot even find the order due to being ordered by a business rep. Even the box says Verizon.

Worst experience of my life. I tried to get a new line and a new phone for a new customer Black Friday deal. The agent I spoke with knew of this, had me sign up for a new line, and advised me to call back in 3 hours as to give the system enough time to process my new account before going through with buying the phone. The agent confirmed this would not interfere with the new customer deal.
When I called back, I learned that I was no longer considered a new customer, and therefore was no longer eligible for the new customer deal. After three hours of explaining how I had been misled and was ill-advised by the previous agent, my then-current agent finally agreed that I had been cheated and agreed to recode my order to allow me to cash in on the new customer offer (thank you).
After that, my order was marked as fraud, and I have received emails asking me to verify my identify. I have clicked on all of the links provided to verify, but none of the links will actually allow me to do anything to verify. They seem faulty. Because of this, I have received about 12 emails asking me to verify (I've tried verifying through each email, none have worked). After another chat with Verizon, they advised me to call the Fraud Prevention line. I have been unable to actually talk to anybody, and have only been met with a maze of pre-recorded robots who do not understand that I need another solution as the emails are not working.
I spoke with Verizon chat agent again, and they advised me to reply to one of the automated emails with a picture of my driver's license. I did so and have not heard back from anybody at Verizon. I also don't love the idea of a picture of my driver's license floating around out there unsecured in some CRM. I'm talking with chat again as tomorrow is the last day I will be able to verify. If you love or respect yourself, even just a tiny bit, please stay away from Verizon. It should be noted that I have never written a negative review in my life. You take the cake, Verizon.

What has happened to Verizon’s integrity as top cell phone provider recently? I am literally at my wit's end with this company and wish I can just get away from them at this point. They have caused not think but stress and anxiety over the past 6 months for me that NO customer should ever have to deal with. Here is the story that still has no resolution we can both agree to.
Around six months ago I contacted Verizon over the phone to upgrade 2 phones. From iPhone 13Pro to iPhone 14Pro. Not with was right on the cusp of the iPhone 15 coming out. Within my 1st phone call, the Verizon rep. explained to me what was involved and what to expect. We discussed everything from the current plan to the new plan, what the new phones would cost, the trade in values for the phones I was trading in, and paying off the balance of what was owed for the iPhone 13 Pro I was trading in for the upgrade to the 14 Pro. In dealing with that associate, they looked up what I owed on the 13’s and determined that the value of the phones was greater than the balance that was left that I owed on them. So, with that the trade in vs. what I owed was determined to be a wash and cancel each other out. So now there was the matter of the new phones.
As typical practice, the phones would be financed as were the previous ones. They were a little more expensive than the previous model so the associate told me that the finance would be a little bit more than the previous. And I was ok with that. So where my monthly bill for 2 phones was currently $120.00ish a month, it would not be $128.00ish a month because of the difference. I agreed to this as it makes sense.
Now here is where things go completely sideways. First, they sent me the incorrect phones. Instead of the Pro’s, they sent me the regular ones. I caught this in the confirmation email and quickly contacted them and advised them as to the mistake. Their action was to call back the packages before they were delivered. That process took about a month by itself before they could confirm they received their own devices back. Here we are now 2 months in with at least a dozen calls from me to Verizon trying to stay on top of the issue and find out if I can do anything to move things along. Finally, they confirm they got the phones back and send me the correct phones.
About a month after I finally have the 14 Pro’s I get a bill of about $1800.00 on my account…. So, I call and am told that is what I owed for my iPhone 13 Pros. Well, that can’t be because we already discussed and agreed that the value of the trade-in’s would cover the remaining balance of what was owed. This argument extended over a period of 2 months, at least 2 dozen phone calls from me to Verizon, and I can’t even remember how many reps. and supervisors I spoke to about it. At around month 4, finally Verizon says, we are sorry that we messed things up so bad with you and we are willing to forgive the balance and move forward. Great right. Oh we aren’t done just yet.
Now I go onto my Verizon app and try to pay my monthly bill. Surprise. Your monthly bill is almost $300.00 I say almost because I don’t remember the exact number at this point. If you recall. They said originally that my month bill would only go up a few dollars to $128.00ish (for both phones) because the new phones were slightly more expensive for the last. I’m sorry Verizon, you quoted me $128.00ish so that’s what I want. I want you to stand by what you promised me. No exceptions! It is now Nov. 28th. I have called Verizon every week since the incorrect bill amount issue. That would make it about 8 separate calls at this point and spoke with at least 15 different agents from 1st responders to supervisors.
Every time I call it's like I am playing a game of “Let’s Make a Deal Today”. 1st I was promised the $128.00ish a month, on another call that figure went up to $138.00ish a month, then on another call it went up to $160.00ish a month, and today’s call on Nov. 28th I was told $177.00ish a month and there is nothing better they can do for me. By the way. When I say “ish” that means with additional taxes and such. WTF Verizon!!!
I used to love their service as a company but, I am not sure what happened to them in the past few years. What I do know is they seem to just not care about their customer service anymore. While each representative you speak to is nice individually and promises you everything they do on the phone, behind the scenes, there is no follow through. Absolutely no execution of what that representative promised they would do for you. I’ve learned that you cannot trust any representative you speak to as it seems like they are just trying to sell you with something false and to entice you to move forward with spending your money with them. Asking to connect you with someone at corporate about it is an impossible task for them. Their listed “corporate” phone numbers online are just customer service numbers so, they are purposely making it so you cannot speak with anyone at the corporate office.
I’m not the type to throw anyone under the bus on social media but, I have been left with no other choice at this point. And here is one more little nugget of information that just places a nice little cherry on top of their crap filled cake. Over the course of the 6+ months that I have been dealing with them I’ve been made many promises that I would be called back to make sure everything is working out smoothly. I have received 0 call backs. I have initiated every call to them about this entire matter. I have even gone online to their site and signed up on their automated call back system 3 times for a call back. Yet again, 0 calls back. They just don’t call you back, regardless of what they promise you.
I hope this message really opens consumers eyes about Verizon as a company as they stand today. I not only wouldn’t I recommend them as a phone service provider but, advise consumers to run away from them entirely and avoid the hassles you will be in store for if you do choose to go with them. Verizon. If you’re listening. Give me a call if you wish to resolve this situation and make good on the promises you made to me from the very beginning of our dealings.

However I tried to explain to the representative that her information was incorrect because I had been a customer of Verizon wireless since February of 2023. However the fraud representative was not budging. So I then called the verizon wireless customer care department for business and spoke to a 3rd representative who told me that she was able to allow me to purchase the device in the store by first cancelling the lost order and then activating the missing device but after she did all that she informed me that I would have to put a $500 down payment for a new device.
When I asked her the reason she informed me that it was only due to the recently cancelled order but after 48 hours I should be able to have the option to repurchase the device with zero to fairly low money down. After the time period had passed the system still wanted me to place a down payment so I called Verizon wireless back up on 11/24/2023 and the fourth representative told me that I had to wait for 6-7 business days for the investigation to be resolved by the back office team. At this point I am tired and fed up with Verizon wireless for all the excuses and inconsistencies especially since I have been with the company for almost a year now.

Bought 2 iPhones 15 Plus at Best Buy Black Friday sale on 11/22/2023 because the Verizon trade-in for iPhone 8 Plus was $415 with Unlimited calling plan for this sale. When I contacted Verizon Wireless to get the $415 credit on the trade-ins, they said our Unlimited Plan was not the Unlimited Plan (there are 4 Unlimited Plans) that had the $415 credit for the trade-in and they gave me $100 credit on one phone and $33 credit on the other phone when they are both the same model in excellent condition. If I upgraded to the Unlimited Plus plan for the $415 credit, the monthly charge for 36 months would be many times over the $415 credit. So disappointed in Verizon Wireless for false advertising and lying and not specifying which of their 4 Unlimited Plans offered the $415 credit, prompting me to buy a phone that should cost $400+ to now paying $700+ for both phones that I would not buy!

I had been a Verizon customer since 2010, recently due to the ever increasing charges, additional “fees” and poor service I switched wireless providers. I’m not complaining about the addition fees and what not. They have the right to charge folks as much as they can away with. But I also retain the right to cancel my service in a quick, efficient manner, pay any amount owed and move on to another company. HOWEVER Verizon doesn’t seem to agree. I switch providers in July of 2023, it’s it now later November of 2023 and they are STILL billing for monthly service on the 4 lines I had with them. I have spoken to their customer service representatives 5 TIMES! I’m still getting billed. I’ve paid over $800 since I made first attempt to close my account. Now I’m being asked for another $788. This is absolute insanity. Never again will I use Verizon. They engage in activities that show extremely poor services if not straight up illegal activities.

I opened 5 lines in March 2023 with Verizon. They had the special of iPhone 14 with $200 back per line. That is $1000 I was supposed to get. Plus I opened a Verizon Visa card because of the enticing Verizon dollars towards my phone bill. To date. I have not received the money back and my Verizon dollars show $0 even though I can see the amount on the statement. When I call them or do a chat, I spend hours on the phone only to be told repeatedly that I should get an email in 7-10 days to apply for the rebate. And that it will take 2 months to fix my Verizon dollar issue.
Nothing happens. I wait the time and call back, and on the phone for hours, get told the same thing and there is nothing more they can do but send an email that never comes. I get every spam email but none that give direction on how to get the rebate. When I call they say of expired even though I asked about it from the beginning and they never fulfilled their end to send me the rebate information. I am so frustrated and feel scammed. I know I won’t see the money and now I’m locked into a 3 year plan. Do not believe anything they tell you to switch. They don’t uphold their end, but expect you to pay whatever they send you.

I had been a Verizon customer since 2011. The fees continued to go up but I stayed with Verizon because the coverage was pretty good. I moved in August, 2023 and Verizon only had wireless mobile services but no internet services were available. The cost would have been double to keep the mobile services and get internet services from another provider. I contacted Verizon but as a loyal customer I was told there was nothing they could do in regards to matching the package offerred by Xfinity which by the way uses verizon towers which are only a mile from where I live. I switched to Xfinity and I am so glad I did. I should have switched years ago. We got 2 new phones, 2 lines instead of one, unlimited text and data for the same price that Verizon charged for 1 line! I also get internet with Xfinity. Service has been great!! I travel a lot for work and was a little concerned about coverage but I have been all up and down the east coast with no issues at all.
After switching, I was told I had a 0 balance with Verizon but I continued to have a 32 cent balance/bill sent to me through email. I called them because after switching I no longer had an account. I was told this was taken care of. I got another email yesterday with a 0.32 balance! I called again today and nothing had been taken care of and no one can even tell me why I continue to get a 0.32 bill. I almost paid for it with my credit card because the cost to Verizon for a credit card charge would have been way more than the 32 cent but I decided to just go ahead and let them take the 32 cents off of my debit card (I had made automatic payments out of this debit card since 2011 and no one could tell me why this 32 cents hadn't been taken out from the automatic deduction!) I just want to stop getting bills from Verizon for 32 cents.
I am hoping that I will now get a zero balance. I feel that being a loyal customer for 13 years meant nothing to them and for future customers I recommend looking for other companies that use Verizon towers. You hear that sure they use the towers but service is not great etc. Check it out because my package with Xfinity has been great, great service at a significant value. I will never go back to Verizon!! They can take the 32 cents but please leave me alone and stop sending me bills!!!!

All I can say is when a customer leaves to go to another company for services and you decide to take the trade in credit away from my iPhone I traded in instead of doing what your customer service person Zachary in the Norman Corporate store told me that took place means there is a big no communication or training problem in this store. We paid all the devices off that he pulled up that showed to be owed the IPhone 14 pro max was not showing anything owed on after we did the switch to AT&T. I was told we owed nothing more after we closed the account. To no longer expect a bill, and I asked your customer agent again before leaving, "So what happened to the payment on my iPhone 14 pro max" and he said, "The remaining credit on the trade took care of it and you do not owe anything further on your account."
I said, "So all the money I paid as a separate payment on each device that the system show in your tablet is it!" He state, "Yes. You no longer have any bills with Verizon!" So why did my wife get a bill for 882.and change a whole month later when we was told nothing further was owed? Then when I was trying to get this sorted out the customer service agent my wife spoke with was rude and very, "You're gonna pay this regardless because we removed your trade promotion"! Then a executive person called and when I gave her the address on the account, "Sorry we will have to do this by email because that was not correct" even when I showed the bill with the address, so she knew that a chewing was coming.
Now I talked to another and she said, "In order to reinstate your trade promotion you have to turn your phone line back on with Verizon," well when I said that is extortion she says, "I know and I’m sorry that is the only way to get your trade money back"! So with that statement I’m going to say this. I do not appreciate being extorted for money just because we made a decision that was better for us! We have mentioned so many times that the cell services was not great. We had missed or dead spots in a lot of areas of what was supposed to be service areas. So we went to get better signal service and no dropped calls. Now speaking with your customer service representatives I think it was for the best and I want that bill squashed and removed for the extortion your customer service person agreed it was.

Now, in the past couple years, all of the above apply. I guess you just got too big to care Verizon.

I have been with Verizon Wireless for well over a decade. I lived in Phoenix, AZ and checked the service map online when making a decision to move to Lewiston, MI. The coverage map on Verizon and the Federal website shows that Verizon is the only carrier that serves my property address. Upon moving here, I realized that I do not have cellular service strong enough to even make a call or send a text message. I called and they tried to sell me a cell extender but I pushed and it was provided for free. However, this extender relies on WIFI signal as it converts the WIFI signal to cellular. I pay for internet through another provider.
I called many times to resolve this issue and I am told they will file a ticket and see what they can do. I never get a reply about these tickets. I sent a support chat again last night and was effectively told that they do not need to honor their advertised commitments because I technically have coverage as I must have signal in order to use the extender. I informed them that I have no service here without WIFI and they told me I should find another provider if I don't like it. There are no other providers and they don't advertise coverage here.

While planning a three-month parental leave to Dubai, I contacted Verizon to temporarily suspend my service during that period. During the call, a representative, demonstrating excellent communication and marketing skills, persuaded me to switch to an international plan, where I would pay only $10 per day for the days I used. However, what wasn't explicitly mentioned was that I would still be charged for my regular U.S. plan, the primary reason for my initial inquiry. To my surprise, after using the international plan for the first two weeks of the first month in Dubai, my bill amounted to $290. In the second month, despite using the international plan for only a few days when necessary, I was again charged $280. Even in the third month, when I removed the SIM card, I was billed $150.
Upon my return, I contacted customer service and, after extended discussions, they agreed to provide a $40 credit. I expressed my dissatisfaction, requesting a refund for the entire month and a half when I didn't use the service, emphasizing the lack of transparency regarding my ongoing $90 local plan charges in the U.S. Verizon has a total disregard for customers, I have been trying to add two more lines for my wife and my nephew, yet what they did to me was disrespectful!

I was a customer for about 2 weeks. I truly hope that I am alone in what I am going through with Verizon. In October of this year I switched to Verizon because 6-7 months out of the year I work in Nome Alaska, and I have no service with T-mobile when leaving my ship. First, the home internet box would not work. I returned to the store the next day. They said I couldn't return it there and had to call customer service or go to a corporate store to get a return label. About the Corp. store, I was told, "I guarantee they will tell you they can't give you a return label, but I promise you they can!" I drove 3 towns over to get there and the supervisor refused to give me the label. Outside the store, I had one sent through customer service. They also confirmed the store could have given me one.
The day I switched I paid $113.95 at the store. My new phone kept freezing up and I was told that I needed to call customer service. I had also just received a bill for about $145. Nothing at this point was working out. The CSR told me I needed to go to the store. Second time I'd been given the runaround, and now being told the store is a sister-store, so they couldn't see that I paid anything. The sign said Verizon. She said that it was a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so I asked for a return label and to close my account. She told me to return to the store for a refund for the $113.95. I sent the phone back.
The next day: The store said they couldn't give me a refund without the phone and referred me to customer service (at this point I am sure they don't know what customer service is...) I know that I've been to the store 5 times, the Corp. store 1 time, & talked to CSRs 7-10 times. Every time I'm told it's taken care of or they will call me, it never is and they never have. Next, I got a message for un-returned modem ($200). I called again and was informed that I owed around $775. I seriously think I may have had a very mild heart attach (I'm not joking). I told the lady that I'm 53 and cannot take the stress of this stuff. I gave her the UPS tracking numbers for both returned items. She sent me a confirmation that they already received both items.
I then gave her all the information about the $113.95, including, date of purchase, date it cleared, and the transaction ID number. She said it was all taken care of and that they'd send me a check (because I didn't feel, at all comfortable giving my credit card information due to everything that's happened so far). Now I received an email saying they need more information. This has now been going on for over 3 weeks. I can't do this anymore.

I don't know what changed, but they called me back to a computer with a page open for creating my account. I complained about my bill being way over what I was told it would be. They looked at my account and said I had been charged multiple late fees. Mind you I wasn't getting bills and had no access to them before this. I paid all of it off and was told, and could see on my account, that my future bills would be 14.99/month.
Now, on my account, it says my next bill will be 36.22. I've once again been trying to get a hold of Verizon about my bill being way over and can't reach anyone. Apparently, you can only chat with a real person if you're shopping and they're trying to sell you something.

When questioned "what can we provide short of DNA to prove her identity" Verizon said they cannot provide us with that information. I understand trying to prevent fraud but when the customer is on the ozone with you for 2 hours explaining the situation and giving you everything you ask for chances are you're being an idiot not listening or helping.

So I called customer service and was sent two return labels sent the phones back. Ok so now this is where things go absolutely wrong. After going through the process of paying money for the phones sending them back. The return of my funds were shorted. I paid 89 and was only refunded 66 dollars no lie. Asked about the rest of my money never got it. But they insist on sending me bills for phones and service I don't have either.
I paid almost 400 dollars because I had to reorder the actual phones I ordered to begin with and this same day after paying my order was cancelled because of so say unable to verify identity when I sent them my driver's license picture front and back. No phones money refunded. But still not the money I was shorted on from my first order I had to send back. So fast forward to this very day I get a bill for 113.06. Mind you I don't have phones no service and this isn't the first bill they have sent me. So I called them back. 5th phone call about service I don't have and another bill. I was told the line was active. Big red flag. No verification to make sure me the customer actually has service. Just send a bill on a phone I don't have and still to this day they are billing me. For what I don't know.
Hopefully after the call with Michael I can get this behind me. It's hard enough to pay for the things I have. Verizon wants me to pay for something they refused me of. Which is confusing to me because I was sent phones before. But anyway with what I went through with not even having a phone or service. I don't think being with them is the best choice for me. Or for anyone. Be mindful of the phone company you sign a contract with because if I am going through this and have no service no phones. I can't even get a full refund. Still haven't gotten all my money back.

As many others are doing during these difficult times, we contacted Verizon seeking remedy to save money on our outrageous monthly bill. We have two devices. A phone, and an iPad. Both are billed to the tune of $165 a month. Very difficult to say we are getting the value of $2000 a year when other providers are charging nearly half that price. On a positive note, the representative with Verizon seemed to be empathetic and offered their sympathy during our chat. But alas, no alternatives to save us money were offered. We were simply told sorry, there are no options other than to pay off your devices entirely. (Almost $2000) Which, as we look on the market right now, we have found these devices can both be purchased second hand for less than $900 total. This is not a good company to do business with. We do not recommend service with Verizon Wireless.

Bought a new Iphone for $1200 and it arrived 3-1/2 weeks later. Everything worked beautifully, except it could not make or receive phone calls. After 4 hours unsuccessfully using their online troubleshooting pages, I got on the phone for another 4 hours with their incompetent support staff. As my call moved up the chain through 3 different people, they added 3 different numbers to my phone, and then hung up on me when I expressed my rage. The following day, I went to one of their stores and the tech person marveled at what a terrible job they had done. He eliminated the additional numbers and in 5 minutes my phone was working. My entire day's work was wasted.

I switched 2 business lines to Verizon May 2023. I traded 1 phone and was to receive monthly credits for the trade in for 36 months which would lower the device payment to $22/month. Today is 10/20/23 and they are still charging me full price so I'm paying $38.68 every single month. I have reached out to the executive team, the customer service team, spoken to supervisors. At this point, I've probably wasted over 20 hours on my time trying to resolve this issue. The rep allegedly verified receipt of the trade in August after I provided the tracking number several times. Keep in mind, they send customers a return label and that's what I used. UPS confirmed delivery on multiple occasions. And nothing, the issue persists.
Just today, I wasted another hour of my time with a new rep and I had to start the process all over again. The executive team and the sales rep who created the contract are irresponsive because they don't care about their customers. I wanted to list their emails here and blast them but it violated Consumer Affairs guidelines and they won't publish my review if I do.

I don't even want to give one star! Horrible experience switching over to Verizon Wireless. The true bait and switch - in store they promise a free iPhone 14, $400 credit for the old iPhone, and a $30 to $35 monthly bill. None of that is true. I'm paying $93.00 a month, have to pay for the new phone, and only got $200 credit for the old phone. I've been trying to get this resolved since May, and it's still not fixed. They will lie, lie, lie to get your business. They tell me to come to the store so the regional manager can take care of the issues, yet he's never there when I arrive at the appointed time.

I recently acquired a Verizon Wireless plan and a new iPhone from the Verizon booth located within Costco. Following my purchase, I eagerly awaited the delivery of my iPhone after having paid all relevant fees, including the sales tax, and signing a three-year service contract with Verizon. Unfortunately, my experience took a turn for the worse when, after patiently waiting for three weeks, I still had not received my iPhone. In my attempt to resolve the issue, I contacted Verizon's customer service multiple times, only to be informed that UPS was responsible for the shipment. To verify the status of my package, I reached out to UPS, only to be told that the package had been returned to Verizon due to an incorrect address on their part.
Subsequently, I contacted Verizon once more, where I was informed that the order had been canceled due to the address error. While they acknowledged their mistake and assured me that it could be rectified through their internal process, they refused to facilitate communication with the their internal responsible for this matter. To my dismay, they simply canceled the order and disconnected my calls without providing any updates or assistance. This frustrating experience has left me deeply dissatisfied with Verizon's service. And there is no refund for I have paid for iPhone I incurred.

The ignorant salesperson at the Verizon store couldn't help me with that because he was so busy so I was told to call VZW and someone would help me. Over nobody the next few weeks I called several times and couldn't be helped despite having multiple emails stating that I was in fact eligible for the discount. Then after 2 months someone finally said that yes I was eligible for the discount but that expired after 45 days. Anything I could do? No, unfortunately I waited too long to talk to the right person. I was so happy to hear that!! I then paid my $150 one line bill (30 for the phone) for the next year as 5G began. Awful.
The service was so bad so I switched providers. Got a bill the following month from Verizon. Asked why I received a bill and was told that I switched on August 25th and that was the first day of the new cycle so I will be charged a full month despite not having service. Wait - I had service for about 9 hours out of 30 days. I was then told that I would pay $30 a month until the phone was paid. $866 was taken from my debit account today. Yeah I was paying that anyway but surprise we're taking it today woohoo!!! I feel like I got robbed by a shady company that works out of a garage without signs. No recommendo.

I have insurance through Verizon/Asurion. Not sure exactly how it works. You'll find out about it in my review. I have ZFold phone. $1,800.00. It is the first expensive tech thing I bought for myself. I love the phone, EXCEPT, about 1 yr. after my purchase, the inside screen wasn't working properly. There were no scratches or anything wrong externally. It just wouldn't work all the time when I opened the phone. So I called Verizon and they told me to take it to Asuiron. Those guys there are great. The guys there told me I have to have a ticket/case with Verizon for them to fix it.
I went back home, called Verizon and after about 1/2 hr. They told me they would mail a new rebuilt phone phone and return my broken phone in the package. So when my phone arrived I went to put my phone in the package and before I did I thought,"Let me take photos of my old phone just in case." I mailed the old phone and 2-3 weeks later they had pulled $299 out of my account without any notice. When I called them (I was on the phone over 1hr total) after talking to the first lady about what's was going on and asking her if they had any photos of my phone I had returned and how she couldn't find them she transferred me. That was approximately 15 min. And she was going to transfer me, when she did we mysteriously got disconnected.
So I called back and ask the new service rep that before we started talking if she had my phone number and if we got disconnected would she call me back. She said yes BUT her system was down and she would have to call me back. To give her credit she did. So now for the next 50 something minutes we talked about what was going on and how she had to put me on hold multiple times etc etc etc. I asked her if she could find the photos they had taken of my phone after I returned it. She couldn't find them. I told her I had my photos, and after another round of putting me on hold and after asking her to transfer me to a supervisor, she said that I could go to Asurion and show them the photos and they would help me. I said, "Ok cool, that's fair."
So today I went to Asurion and they said that they only fix phones, they don't get involved in writing a ticket/opening a case. The lady then said that Verizon basically used that tactic to get me off the phone. They are horrible, this is all to save the company money. We all know how most of this works but we are stuck because we need these items to work etc. Verizon is not the only one like this. And it kinda sucks companies hire people to treat clients horribly and push us away.

I started off last year in October. I got two phones from my parents. I returned one within the 30-day timeframe because my dad passed away. I got charged for both phones. They didn't carry them over on the account. They set up a new account charged me $1,300 for it. I complained and got nowhere because they said it was too late because it had gone to collections. I knew nothing about it. I'd received no phone calls, no emails, no mail, nothing to indicate that I owed them any more money other than what my monthly bill had been and I had been paying that on a timely basis.
Finally I got someone to acknowledge that they had screwed up. They gave me a credit on my account but would not issue me a credit in cash. I had to pay the credit company the $1,300 which screwed up some of my credit. I took a big hit of 50 points. Now I've been having trouble with the internet Cube that they have. I've had four of them since June. I've decided I can't do without internet and the process or returning them is a pain in the butt so I canceled all my accounts - myself, my girlfriend, my mother. And I canceled the internet Cube
Now I've got a $795 credit on my account that I'm having to wait to get because they say they won't pay it until the end of the billing cycle which means they're going to take money out of that $795 which they don't deserve. I've closed out the account. Not a matter of still having service with them. I've changed to another vendor. Hopefully they're better Verizon has been a disaster. I wish I could get a hold of someone who gives a ** about my money. I know they care about their money obviously because they turn me into a collection Bureau. I just want my $795 so that I can move on and be done with them.

Today, I spent over 2 hours on the phone. The customer Service rep said that I would have had to upgrade my plan by $10 for each phone and then I would not be charged for the new phones.

I was attempting to place an order through a trade in promotion for Verizon Wireless. I had a few questions and a chat box kept coming up asking to assist. I asked the question, was given the answer and instructed to click on a link to complete the order. I did, however; there was not an option given to add a shipping address. I clicked the order and immediately contacted customer support to add a ship to address. The person told me they could assist me with any problems, however after much discussion, the only thing they could come up with was to cancel my order and place a new one, but my trade in would not be applied because it had already been applied to the previous order.
At this point I said no, as I had already been "chatting" for well over TWO HOURS! I finally mentioned it would be nice when someone is helping a customer if they would concentrate their efforts on one customer instead of servicing multiple customers at one time. No reply. Basically I sat there for another 30 minutes with no reply. I suggested canceling my order and I would purchase the phone from another company, one which cares about their loyal customers. No reply. This is no way to run a business, it appears once you sign on the dotted line, you are of no use to them any longer.
My guess is I'll cancel all of my lines and service and take my business elsewhere. If they attempt to deliver anything to my existing address, it will be a waste of their money, but seem to have no solution. The least I would expect after patiently waiting over two hours is a response---NONE. Take my advice. Take your business elsewhere. It's one thing to talk to a customer service rep. but only if they are truly customer SERVICE reps. Verizon has none.

One person I knew actually had an operator sabotage her phone settings remotely after leading her to believe that this would address the problem, which it didn't. Verizon's website is intentionally set up to deny any form of direct contact, the chat function continually demands that you log in when you already have, there is no page for reporting service problems directly, and all these people seem to care about is trying to talk you into buying more of their junk products.
What Verizon created today was a regional emergency, especially for the elderly and those with disabilities, and then they had the effrontery to call me back after service was restored and still not find anyone who could speak proper English to make that call. Without providing any kind of regional service center with live, literate, English-speaking personnel to deal with problems immediately, Verizon has no moral right to be doing business in the USA at all.

I called in after I received my bill that it does not reflect what we agreed. They said wait for the next bill to do so. At the shop today they said that call center should not say that because I would have 30 days to return the new phone which was never offered to me.

I switched phone carriers from Tmobile to Verizon last year. The process was mostly completed on March 11, 2023 after placing my phone order online and picking up the phones, four phones/four lines, in a Verizon Store. As part of the deal through Verizon to switch, they offered a $200 per line rebate in the form of a prepaid Visa gift card. I should have received four gift cards totaling $800. After about 90 days of not receiving the cards, giving them plenty of time to be sent. I contacted Verizon and was given forms to fill out in order to receive the rebates, nothing at all was said about a deadline. I filled out the forms and was told they would be processed in 7 to 10 days and they would mail the rebates out.
I don't remember if a time frame was told to me but I assumed it would be 6 to 8 weeks based on other similar experiences. About a month ago after still not receiving the rebates, I contacted Verizon and the agent that helped me, resent the paperwork and told me the same thing, 7 to 10 days to process and that I would be contacted and also told me to not attempt to file again as it would negate what she was doing. Today, after two weeks going by and not hearing back from Verizon, I contacted them again. This time the agent told me that there was a 30 day deadline to file for the rebates, and said that they would have emailed me after porting my phones over.
I checked my emails and no email pertaining to how to collect the rebates was ever sent. I remember it took quite a few days for them to get my phones working and I looked through the first two months of emails in ALL folders (primary, secondary, junk, spam, trash, archived..) all email folders. $800 in gift cards was an extremely significant factor in switching from over 20 years at Tmobile to Verizon. Verizon advertised the rebates, the rebates were in my cart at time of online checkout, everything on my end said that I would get these rebates but nothing ever stated I needed to do anything more, nor did anything I received state that there was a deadline for me to send in paperwork to collect the rebates. This seems like a very shady tactic. Promise a rebate then tell me I don't get it because I did not tell them in time that I wanted it???

First things first if I could give negative star ratings I definitely would. On August 12 I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 tablet and Samsung Z flip phone. I received both devices on the release date of August 15. I had the devices for a little over a month when I decided that I no longer wanted the devices especially after seeing the new monthly bill amount and so I looked at my receipt and realized that there is a 30 day return policy. Let me preface by saying my issue is not with Verizon’s 30 day return policy, but with the things that happen when you contact their customer service for answers regarding their policies and procedures.
On September 17 I contacted Verizon about returning the devices by contacting the customer service phone number, and requested to speak with a representative. The representative that I spoke with, asked me what the situation was, and I explained that I no longer wanted the two devices, and that it was a couple days over the 30 day return period. I asked if there was anything that could be done if there is any way around this policy and if I needed to speak with anyone else regarding.
The representative claimed to have taken a look at my account and said she located the devices in question and then advised me that she saw that I was able to do a return within a 45 day period. She said that she would send me a shipping label and then all I needed to do was ship the products as soon as possible. I also informed her about an error with one of the products which was the tablet that was supposed to come with a stylus, but it had never come with one. She stated that she documented that the stylus never originally came with the tablet in the package and I asked if there was anything else that I needed to do and that if I returned everything as quickly as possible, if everything would work out fine, and she informed me that was the case snd there would be nothing else I needed to do.
She recommended that I ship them off as soon as possible because it could not go over the 45 day period including the time it wold take for them to be shipped. The only other thing that she warned me was that I needed to be careful that I took the packages to UPS versus USPS, and that there have been disastrous things that have happened when people accidentally ship through USPS. So the next day I went to UPS and shipped them off I had to pay a little under $15 for the packaging and shipping and all.
On Monday 9/25/23 I checked the tracking label through UPS and it showed that the products were delivered to Verizon on Friday so I called Verizon to see if they had received them just to make sure that nothing went awry. Once I got the representative who helped me on the phone, I informed her of the entire situation. I also specified that the products were a couple days over the 30 day return when I originally called to request to be able to return them and get a refund as soon as I said that the representative knew that there was an issue. Needless to say I ended up spending almost 2 hours on the phone with her and her supervisor. It turns out that their 30 day policy is a strict policy that cannot be negotiated altered and there’s no additional accommodations outside of the 30 day window that you have to return products you finance through them.
She informed me that I would still have to pay the monthly amount for each of those device agreements including the additional lines they are attached to, and that there is no way for me to get the devices back to simply keep the devices at this point since I will be paying for them anyways. I was not informed of any of this, when I originally called and spoke with the other customer service representative, if I had had any idea that first of all, there were no exceptions to the 30 day policy and second of all that if I shipped off the devices, I would never be able to get them back. I would’ve never ever wasted my time, and my money to ship them off.
The informative representative on Monday also stated that the only thing they would be able to do is to issue me a credit that would be able to be applied to my bill by doing device trade-in amounts for each of the devices that I shipped off to them. Both of the devices in question released on the date that I received them. I literally had them in my possession three days over the 30 day mark no damage barely used.
The trade-in values that they gave me for each device were laughable. The total came to a little over $800 when both devices were over $1000 each so now basically I am screwed I even asked to speak with her supervisor, not out of disrespect for her because she was extremely helpful and informative and I had wished that I had gotten her the first time around so that I could’ve avoided this whole mess, now I am screwed out of two devices that I will still have to pay on only been given a credit that will be applied to my bills and there’s no way for me to get my devices back.
It’s insane to me that in this age with all the technology and all the tracking supposedly there’s no way for them to track down those specific devices in the warehouse that they were sent to for intake upon being returned, these devices have IMEI numbers. I have no idea why they are acting as though there is no way to see where those devices are in the facility that they’re in and what is going to happen to them. When I spoke to the supervisor, I asked if they understood my frustration, because basically, at this point, I’m being charged for nothing and they will be able to make more money off of the devices that I returned under false pretense due to incorrect information. I literally told the supervisor that it’s absolutely ridiculous and wrong what they are doing and that they need to fix their system because this should not be able to happen.
I also mentioned that this is not the first issue I’ve had with their customer service as a duck with an issue a little over a year ago for three months between talking to multiple representatives just to get something resolved. It is not right that I’ve been a paying customer for a few years now and this is the way that I dealt with. I can’t wait to be free from all agreements with them so that I can find service elsewhere because the whole situation is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t trust the representatives when I call due to the multiple issues that I have had every time I have a situation it takes a few calls just to get something resolved and sometimes the resolution is not even appropriate to the situation just like with this case also, it’s ironic to me that you can’t really post a Google review on their company. I wish I could shout from the rooftops, what took place because it is not right at all.

I’ve had to contact Verizon 3 months in a row just to receive the credit for a phone I returned within the grace period. Each time they state a ticket was placed and 3 months later I’m being billed for a plan I don’t even have the phone for. Never once was the phone removed from the box. Representatives keep me on the phone for 30mins then disconnect me. So 3 months later nothing has been resolved.
