I have been with Verizon for 5 years. Before that AT&T for 17 years. At&T was bad. Verizon is abhorrent. Stay far away. Choose any other company available in your area. They overcharge for service. Overcharge for devices. Do not back up the devices if they fail under warranty. I paid just shy of 1500.00 for the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. It is absolutely garbage. NOTHING but problems. I was offered only a refurbished device after paying for a brand new device less than a month ago. The refurbished device has all of the same problems. I have spent 30 hours on the phone with them now over 2 weeks. Nothing gets resolved. I pay a lot of money for my service. I am now going to contact corporate and the BBB.

STAY FAR AWAY! Been a loyal customer since 4-5 years never missed a payment. Went to the store to get my battery port looked at and was manipulated into buying an upgrade I had stressed I did NOT want. Now I have no cell phone since I had to return and also disconnect my line. My fiancé is also on the account (was a family plan) and was told after changing her plan to $35 a month without data (just talk and text) but after getting off the phone to customer service about trying to save my number and use it elsewhere they had snuck WITHOUT PERMISSION several additional charges and protection what should be a $35-50 a month is now $113 for ONE PHONE LINE.
Regardless we are turning this phone in as well and both being phoneless due to outrageous sneaky corporate ways to further take customer money. This company is the WORST and I advise you to go anywhere but here. They only look out for the sake of making a profit and not their customers. This location was in Tunkhannock, PA for those who need to know and to stay away.

Wish I could give zero stars!!!! Had problems with my phone and went to the Brick, NJ store where I was told to upgrade. I did but paid a large amount of money which I paid them there same time I changed my 8 plus phone to a 15. Within that same week was told I was in arrears paying my Verizon bill. WHAT???? I just paid what I was told and it wasn't cheap.... So I went to the Ocean Township, NJ where workers were sitting around without customers. One worker said, "What do you need." I said I need help with my bill. I don't understand why I am being told my service will stop when I just paid for my transfer from an 8 Plus to a 15 a few days ago. I was told, "We don't do that and we can't help you". Why did the Brick store take my money if other stores don't help with money? WHAT???? This needs to be reported!!!!

I had Verizon as my primary mobile provider for about a decade. Service was spotty and the price was always slightly higher than other providers, but that isn't the reason for the review. Upon porting out to switch to another provider I pretty much received the run around to unlock my phone. After many of calls and corporate store visits my phone still remained lock with no real communication on how this would get resolved. Even after paying the bill when leaving my phone remained locked. I ended up having to buy a new phone because more than a week went by and no timeframe for my phone being unlocked was provided. A locked phone makes it impossible to receive texts and calls for work on another network. Just wanted to give a heads up to those looking to switch or leave.

I want to port an existing phone number to Verizon for an additional fee per month. I have been on the computer with chat today, Sunday 10 am until 7:30 pm and after 7 agents it is still not complete. I keep getting transferred to another agent and have to start all over with all of my account info and all the info regarding the number I would like transferred. It appears they can not see previous notes and work two hours shifts leaving me to be on line all day.

The Verizon website said one of our phones is eligible for upgrade. The website says that the upgraded phone would be nearly free. (Extra $7.49/month.) The only caveat is that the phone has to be in good working order and that the old phone had to be eligible. Everything was good, but finally it came out that they would only upgrade that phone under those terms if we upgraded our phone plan to "Unlimited Ultimate". Depending on the phone, that costs around $23/month more for each phone! Nowhere on the web site is that documented! I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone trying to get them to honor their deal. No luck.

I went to my local Verizon store trying to get the phone to accept "create new" in my phone book. The tech just said "your phone is old, you need a new phone". I went to a computer solutions group next and they had me install an SD card. Problem solved. I've not found Verizon to be helpful in ANYTHING for the last few years. They just want to sell phones, not help their customers.

Stuck in a system of tiered and siloed “support” for 2 weeks without resolution. Lots of hold time with dropped calls and unfulfilled promises of return calls and/or speaking with supervisor. Two weeks of starting at square 1 with each attempt at service resolution is preposterous.

Why does Verizon charge an upgrade fee when you buy a new phone? I bought a new Apple phone at the Apple store and transferred my data to the new phone. $35 fee + taxes was added to my account. Since I've been a customer since 1993 (With former GTE), you'd think they would waive the upgrade fee just because I've decided to stay with them on my new phone! It's just one of those aggravating additional ways they hit you up for more money. Disgusting. Oh... Don't call support to ask any questions, all you get is a computer-generated response via a chat line.

Verizon is by far the worst phone, internet, or technology carrier out there. Their employees work on commission so they will only try and put you in their highest plans and don't know how to complete full transactions so you will have to call and wait on the phone for hours just to talk to someone and go physically in the store just for no one to be able to assist you ever nor will give you a refund for service they cannot turn on but it's not “their fault”!

The supervisor, Amy, was extremely rude to me at the Biloxi, MS Verizon Russell Cellular store. This is the worst third party Verizon ever. The supervisor Amy refused to assist me, continually making excuses for her inability to provide service. I felt as though I had been transported back to the 1930s. Regrettably, I believe Amy's behavior towards me was racially motivated. As an ** Christian woman, I noticed an immediate change in Amy's demeanor to one of harshness and hostility when she approached me. Her attitude was so severe that I was moved to tears and felt compelled to contact customer service.
Subsequently, I visited the Gulfport Verizon store, where I received a warm welcome and excellent service. I cannot recommend the Biloxi Verizon store, as no one should be subjected to poor treatment, especially not based on skin color. As a Christian, I will pray for Amy, despite the animosity she displayed towards me. Your mission statement claims customer care, yet my previous complaint was disregarded and removed without any response. This lack of acknowledgment is disappointing, and I hope for better treatment of individuals regardless of their ethnicity.

Verizon is unethical in its business practices. I changed my cell phone plan and had the option of choosing add-ons for an additional charge. I did not select any add-ons, and within minutes of changing my plan, I received a text message telling me that extra cloud storage was added to my account by Verizon for an additional $5.99/month. I then got a text message stating to follow the link to cancel, the link did not provide a place to cancel the added expense so I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with customer service trying to remove the charge. Within minutes of finishing up with customer service, I received a survey that I was eager to complete, in the middle of the survey I was asked how satisfied I was with Verizon with a rating of 1 to 10, I gave them a 1, the next question asked why I was unsatisfied.
While I was typing in my answer, I received a call from the customer service supervisor asking me to text the word "Quit" to stop the survey. She was insistent that I do this immediately while she waited on the phone. I explained to her that I was not done completing the survey and she continued her demands. I told her that I would do that after I completed the survey, and she finally ended the call.

Around a year plus ago I purchased an S22 Ultra. I'm putting it on the service side begin to have problems almost immediately. Loss of connection, dropped calls, static in the lines. People would often comment that they could not hear me and drop their calls. As a proceeded to get worse I take it into Verizon they would change my SIM card and send me on my way. As it progressed they begin to troubleshoot me over the phone. My problem was mainly that I had to be on the Wi-Fi in order to have service.
Eventually, the Asurion protection would replace the phone. But then the problems began to increase. To the extent where my phone would be without service. Where the bars of reception would be I'd have an ex. Frustrated with my service thus far going into the store and over the phone, I began to just troubleshoot it myself. Use the phone when I was at work or at home. Jump on someone else's Wi-Fi when I was in the car. Sometimes my phone would work sometimes it wouldn't. So today when I had an entire morning of no service I went into the Verizon store and the West shopping center of Nashville, frustrated. The young man there helped me once again change over my SIM card but this time to an ESIM. It lasted 20 minutes on the interstate.
The connection then went dead. Dreading what I knew was coming, I went then went to the Brentwood Verizon. The blond tall skinny young man who told me to call him Shane on 7.22.24, at nearly 12 pm, of course tried to sell me another phone rather than fix the phone that I've been paying the $20 protection fee for over the past 3 years.
I requested that he called the tech support from the store since I could not make calls from my phone. He continued to try telling me all the reasons why I should dread trying to fix the problem that I already had. Encouraging me to transfer all of my information out of my phone and on to another system so I went and got my computer and transferred it over in the store. Then he encouraged me that it would take much much longer. Although I'd already expressed that we've gone through this at the last Verizon store. I just need him to call the tech desk so that they could hear from the Verizon store the experiences that I was having. He insisted that that would take so long to do.
All the while telling me I should just buy another phone and get rid of my protection plan so that I'd be paying about the same. After 3 dreadful hours of trying to sell me another phone and telling me it's going to take hours to troubleshoot it over the phone with the tech and I'd have to stay there another 4 hours after I'd already been there nearly two and a half, he said he would call the tech desk. But instead of calling the Verizon tech he called Asurion. The call took less than 5 minutes. He continued to try to sell me the entire time trying to make it seem like by dragging it out this was a problem that could not be resolved. And the only thing I could do is buy a phone. He encouraged me to drop my protection plan and take off other services to make it cheaper. Rather than me staying on the $100 plan that I have. Asurion made an appointment for me to bring the phone in as he assured they would be able to replace the phone out.
Asurion would later tell me in the store, this phone could not be replaced without paying more money because the warranty offered by Samsung was no longer valid. But there was a known defect in the charge port for the s22s ultra. That this would require an out-of-pocket fee. That over a year ago they began to replace these at no cost because they knew there was a problem.
But even though they sent me another phone at the time I was reporting the problem no one took the phone that they sent me and replaced it again. Instead they kept sending me back to the store saying that it was a problem with my network. Everyone failed. Repeatedly. By not listening the many times I came into the store with the exact same problem. By not listening the many times I called in and asked if they were keeping track of the notes.
By not listening when I walked into the store and said that we'd already done these steps over and over again. Rather than fix the problem appropriately I was constantly asked to buy something new. And the network was not the issue although I was constantly getting a reading in my settings that said I was not on the network. Despite having the warranty to protect the phone and ensure I wouldn't have any of these issues. They failed. I will not send anyone to Verizon to purchase a phone.
I encourage people to buy your phone at Non-cellular store. Purchase the warranty through the box store such as a Costco Walmart or Best Buy. Purchase their warranty because Asurion is a rip-off and a scam. I personally have had my warranties through Best Buy on all of my other phones and devices and have found it very easy to take it back to the store and they immediately handle my dilemmas. They either fix it in store or send it back and replace it right away. Verizon failed!!! If T-Mobile or AT&T worked in my area I would have longed switched by now.

Verizon sent me a bill for quadruple what I expected when I signed up. A Verizon telephone assistant set me up with two lines for what I thought was their advertised "Unlimited Welcome" plan for $40 per line. Then the bill came: $80 per line, and two months in advance. Plus multiple other problems in signing up. No relief in sight or acknowledgement of this problem.

I switched providers after 20 years thinking Verizon had them beat with their best "Nation Wide Service" available and the 50 gigs unlimited data compared to 20.. Boy was it a mistake.. I gave them one year and I have had nothing but problems with service and when I tried to call to talk to someone it was almost 10 min of prompt to just get to the waiting point which in turn NEVER was answered.. Waited 25 min. It's like trying to call your insurance agent for a claim..lol.. They don't want to answer or talk to you. I give them 0 stars. Poorest coverage and internet connections and NO real customer service.. Good luck Verizon. I own a business and meet 5 to 10 customers a day and boy I will be happy to let them know what a mistake I made switching to this service.. If you could call it that.. There's no service involved. Thanks for the great marketing Verizon but no thanks for the problems I've had.

**Review Title: Verizon's Incompetence and Negligence Have Ruined My Life** I have been a loyal Verizon customer, always paying my bills on time. Unfortunately, my experience has been a nightmare. My troubles began when Verizon's Wi-Fi service never worked for my address, rendering it completely useless. Next, my eSIM was erased, leading to the loss of my Apple ID, essential contacts, photos, and texts. These irreplaceable items are gone forever, severely disrupting my life and causing immense personal and familial distress.
I missed several critical doctor’s appointments due to Verizon’s unreliable service, which significantly impacted my health. On top of that, customer service provided fake appointments, wasting my time and adding to my frustration. Throughout this ordeal, I have had to go out of my way to address these issues, spending extra money and countless hours dealing with Verizon’s incompetence. Not once has Verizon made a genuine effort to rectify the situation or justify their actions. Their lack of accountability is deeply troubling.
Most recently, I was promised a kit to return my phone, but the label I received was faded, waterlogged, and unusable. Despite multiple requests for a new kit and assurances that it would be sent, I am still waiting weeks later. I don’t have the resources to print a label myself and shouldn’t be expected to incur that cost. This seemingly simple task has become an insurmountable obstacle. Choosing a cell phone provider is a significant decision. We trust these companies to provide essential services, and Verizon has exploited this trust. Their incompetence and disregard for customer well-being are beyond unacceptable. This experience has been a nightmare, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I am writing to formally complain about my experience with Verizon's deceptive sales practices and poor customer service. Initially, I was pressured to sign an incomplete contract, which I refused. Despite assistance from one helpful representative, the promised "Bring Your Own Device" discounts were never applied. I called Verizon at least 19 times over a week, waiting for promised call-backs that never came, causing significant inconvenience. After the issue was supposedly fixed, additional charges appeared on my account, and my plan was altered without my consent. Each correction led to more errors, creating a frustrating cycle. I have documentation of these issues and am prepared to take legal action if not resolved. I request immediate correction of billing errors, retroactive discounts, accurate plan details.

After filing a formal complaint with corporate, Verizon finally agreed to issue me a credit for the full amount of the international charges because the data usage charges “were received in intervals that did not afford you the opportunity to take action to avoid the charges.”

I have been a loyal customer of Verizon for a while now, but after my recent experiences with them I will be switching my provider as soon as I can. We recently went on a cruise to Alaska with our family. Pretty much as soon as we sailed away, we got a message from Verizon stating that all our cell phone usage in Canada was covered. We still stayed on airplane mode most the time, but relaxed a bit knowing we should be covered in both Canada and Alaska. I checked both My Verizon and the Verizon family app regularly to verify that no new charges were showing up.
All was well until we hit port on the 3rd day of our cruise. In the span of a minute, all at once we received five messages from Verizon warning us in $50 increments that our daughter was racking up $250 in data charges. Our daughter was asleep the whole time. My daughter was able to rack up charges in the middle of the night, but Verizon couldn’t send us any of the warning messages until 9:30 in the morning all at once. I had left my phone off airplane mode that night and didn’t rack up any charges, but also did not receive any of Verizon’s warning messages until morning.
I was curious about what my daughter did in the middle of the night to accumulate $250 in charges, while I was in port and had WiFi I logged into My Verizon and the family app to review her usage. There was no evidence of any weird usage, and the charges on my bill didn’t show any of $250 in charges. I checked several times including when I got home. None of the charges were shown on my bill until the day the billing cycle ended. While I understand that my daughter mistakenly managed to run up the charges, I also feel that Verizon was less than transparent with the information, and at times even deceptive with the information they did provide. I can no longer trust Verizon!

My experience with Verizon has become a complete nightmare. The internet is perpetually on the fritz, rendering work-from-home a frustrating exercise in futility. Calls are a gamble – will they connect? Will I hear static? It's a coin toss every time. And data? Forget it in certain areas – it's a connectivity graveyard. If that wasn't enough, customer service is an absolute nightmare. Hours wasted on hold, endless transfers to different representatives, and zero solutions – that's the Verizon customer service experience in a nutshell. To avoid the phone purgatory, I tried scheduling a callback, but that was just another empty promise. No call ever came. Verizon's dropped the ball on every front. Unreliable network, unresponsive service – it's a far cry from the provider I once knew. If a drastic improvement isn't on the horizon, I'm switching carriers without a second thought.

The left-hand does not know what the right hand is doing, you talk with one Verizon representative and you work out whatever scenario with them over the phone and then they change your bill or change the scenario without even reaching out to you whatsoever! I upgraded from my iPhone 14 Pro to a 15 pro and in the Verizon store they gave me all the variables and the scenarios that I go with that based off of what they were telling me. I traded in my phone and sent it back to their warehouse to get credit for it because it was an excellent condition and weeks later, 2 1/2 months they try to stick me with $600 to say I can’t do this, and I can’t do that when they were the ones that gave me the option.

!!!!VERIZON WIRELESS!!!! I just want to put this out there for anyone looking to switch cell providers. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VERIZON. We wanted internet for our business “Yardbird Bento”, went to Verizon in Starkville on Hwy 12 because they were offering business deals. We were introduced to Fabian ** their business professional. Long story short, we ended up being lied to, we returned the internet boxes within the 30 day “free” trial but still got billed for them, we also switched our phones with $600 bring your device credit each. “4 lines” never received credit on 3 of them, and finally when we received our first bill-2 days after they turned off our phones for late payment?
We were billed for 14 different lines that were generated by Fabian when there should have only been 6 due to us purchasing 2 Apple Watches. This all started in April, as of yesterday our bill is still not corrected, we’ve been to the store 4 times and called their service center numerous times. We’ve paid over $800 in bills and are looking at a $500+ bill for June due in 3 days!! BUYER BEWARE.

On May 9, I left work to head to physical therapy while heading there. I realized my phone wasn’t working. It just said SOS in the right corner. Didn’t really think anything of it. Just assumed there was a signal issue in the area. Went through physical therapy still with my phone, not working. Went into the grocery store afterwards and connected to their Wi-Fi. As soon as that happened, I started getting notified of a bunch of hard inquiries on my credit report. A bunch of purchases made that I was aware of. I quickly drove home and asked my husband if everything was ok with his phone which it was. He called Verizon to try to figure out what was going on with my phone while I sat with my MacBook and tried to figure out what was going on.
Apparently at some point in the afternoon on May 9 Verizon swapped my sim card with a person attempting to purchase a phone on my account. Verizon attempted to call me because I am the manager on the account to verify. I was allowing this transaction, but they could not get a hold of me, because they had already swapped my sim card with the other person. After looking into things opened up six credit cards in my name, hacked my Amazon account over, basically every part of my life had my Social Security number from my phone. Had my driver's license from my phone. All of this because Verizon allowed the sim swap and allowed this person to purchase a phone on my account without even notifying me or my husband, we were told everything was taken care of.
Fast-forward to almost the end of June and my Verizon bill comes out of my account. We were shocked to find out that Verizon charged us over $140 for that phone try to open. We got charged the activation fee, taxes, every fee that comes with purchasing a new phone. My husband called Verizon and we will hopefully at some point get refunded for it, I called a little while later because I’ve been a customer of Verizon for over 10 years and I’m just shocked that they are allowing all of this to happen. The gentleman I spoke to customer service was extremely, uncaring about the situation, and completely dismissive. Kept trying to transfer me to the fraud department, which was unnecessary. Just beware of who you are dealing with. In a matter of seconds my phone was completely shut down. I couldn’t do anything with it and in that span of time, somebody access all my information and completely stole my identity.
Now I do understand that that person obviously obtain some of my information elsewhere and I’m still trying to figure all that out so I don’t place all my blame on Verizon, but they should never have swap to happen like that. A phone never should have been able to be purchased on my account without discussing it with me prior and if you couldn’t get in touch with me, the transaction doesn’t happen. Again, just be aware of what can happen. I personally am no longer doing business with Verizon, which I’m not happy about because they do have the best service in the area. The one thing they have is that monopoly. Which I feel they are slowly losing.

Horrific customer experience switching from AT&T to Verizon. New phones not received in a timely manner. Representative that sold me on the transfer was helpful initially then ghosted me as we had issues receiving and setting up the new phones. It took multiple calls and speaking to numerous representatives and tech support to get the new service running smoothly. I would not recommend. Not worth the hassle..

I have had Verizon for decades and until recently was satisfied with the service. Recently I went on a cruise and signed up for the $30/day coverage while at sea. My recommendation is to NOT sign up for this $30/day coverage at sea. The first day at sea I tried it out and received a message stating the service is unavailable due to relays being down. I tried it later that day and had service for 5 minutes then it went down again. This occurred every day, yet Verizon charged me the $30 each day. Verizon even charged me $30 on days in port in Alaska, where my usual, monthly Verizon service should have covered it. Ridiculous!! I am scheduled to go on another cruise in 2025, so I will be terminating my Verizon subscription before then because there is not a way to cancel this 'coverage at sea' and I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for 5 minutes a day.

They are also charging an additional $40 for 4 lines while I was promised $40 discount if I do autopay.

This time it's in plain site because I paid everything on my bill and the next bill cycle is $700 plus dollars already. My bill is suppose to be around $325 a month and I have not seen that amount whatsoever. Whoever is thinking about joining this company please don't, take your money somewhere else. It's crazy that I've been here for all these years and I'm still being ripped off. It's unbelievable. I've done some much complaints and they do not care about their customers.

I have been with Verizon for over 5 years and I've never had issues before. They've taken care of me many times. But in November my roommate lost the phone I had purchased for him. When I try to go through the insurance company I did a little steps that was needed to have the phone delivered. For some reason every time that I would get an email saying be ready for your device. I took off 4 days and all 4 days went. They were saying that it was arriving somehow and I would get a second email saying that they were rejecting the delivery. I got frustrated and gave up. Same thing happened to me when I lost my phone in December. I left it in a Uber car and I took out five different days from work to try to receive a cell phone and every time they said be ready for your devices getting delivered and I would wait and the device never arrived. They will get a email saying it got canceled.
Well I've been paying for my roommate's phone and for the service this whole time and all I got was offered was to buy out the phone what was left over the remaining balance and that I could get upgraded for an additional $400 I asked well. Can you also give me some kind of deal for the months that I've been paying for a service that hasn't been used? They said no. They keep on giving me the runarounds now I feel. The reason why I called recent is because somehow I got charged $260 that I don't remember approving and I'll try to get a refund and they would not give it to me. After all these zeros that I've been working with them, I feel like it did not matter. I wasn't able to get my refund today and I wasn't able to get the new device for the new phone because apparently I had to put a down payment of $400.
I'll just wait until I don't have to do a down payment. I'm very disappointed. The customer service is always great but when it comes to taking care of those people that have been there working with them for a long time I feel like it just did not matter. Maybe it's time to move out into a different company and start over. Even though recently I suggested my coworker to move to this company where he got 10 lines and 10 cell phones all under his belt. Sorry Vidal, I got you into a company that's not taking care of me. I work in consumer service and I try to always do the best that I can to provide the best service that I can.
I was suggested that I need to contact the insurance company and make it into a bigger issue with them so that way they could do something about it on their end. Even though I was asking about me paying Verizon for the services that I've not been using and all they would repeat is the same thing that they already offer me something. If I didn't want to take it, that's up to me. I don't know. I feel like I'm being ripped off.,.

I just traded in my old device on June 11, 2024, under Verizon's trade-in program. According to their website, you could trade any phone for the same brand and receive a credit of $799.99 regardless of condition. I went through the process online and noted my then-current phone had a cracked screen, I completed the process and it said I would get the monthly credit over 36 months to cover the new phone's cost. I submitted my order and thought all was good. WRONG! After setting up the new device I took my old device to a local Verizon main store to return. Per the instructions, the phone was reset to factory conditions and I restarted to check. When I dropped it off at the Verizon store they gave me a credit of $200 and the form says that the phone was in "a condition other than noted", and that the "credit" had been adjusted. GOOD BAIT AND SWITCH VERIZON!
Spent over an hour on the phone with two of their reps, which they just happened to call about adding another line, and they and their supervisor can't seem to figure out why I am only getting the $200 credit rather than the $799.99 as is the current promotional deal.

My whole family has Verizon phones. I recently had an issue with my phone which I purchased through Verizon, in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I had to have it substituted with a new one since it wasn’t charging anymore. This was about 8 months from my initial purchase. They told me to send the phone back to them within 5 days of the agreement, which I did using the UPS store nearby. It was all done and I kept my receipt.
After about two weeks, I received a message saying to send the phone, and that I would be charged $ 500 if I failed to send it. I called Verizon, was on the phone for about 45 minutes, let them know about the problem. And they said they were waiting. A week later, I received another similar text, so I called them back. I was on the phone for another 40 minutes or so. They told me they received an empty package…?!? I told them my husband had sent it (without a doubt) and we still had the receipt, and that if UPS loses it or someone else at the factory’s reception facility, it shouldn’t be on us. They said they would investigate further and get back to me.
After about 4 weeks I was debited $900 dollars. I called Verizon again and they looked into my case history and noticed nothing was done about it. They told me to wait another 5 days to a week and they would get back to me. Verizon’s procedure and integrity is completely at fault. I find I have to pay $900 for their inefficiency and dishonesty. What I noticed about this company is that if you’re buying, everyone runs after you, if you have an issue, no one cares. How can companies and their employees be so careless..?

Just started a new plan with Verizon a few months ago. We signed up for 2 lines and got 2 new phones that were advertised as "free with new plan." The plans were also a promotional rate that would be discounted $10 each per month when enrolled in autopay. So far, Verizon has not honored the $10 discount for being enrolled in autopay. Customer service (after hours on the phone) determined that we are not enrolled in autopay with an appropriate bank account directly contradicting what their website says. The auto pay enrollment page specifically says that we are appropriately enrolled in a valid manner to apply the discount.
Similarly, the "free" phones have only been half free. They honored one phone but continue to apply the financed payment for one of our phones despite customer service agreeing that it should be free. On the billing side, we also have been surprised by multiple surcharges that appear on every bill adding up to about an additional $10 per month. They do not explain what they are for, just that they are extra charges. We have also been charge one time fees 3 months in a row adding up to about $200, ensuring that if the experience continues to suck that we are invested and less likely to leave.
To put the icing on the cake, customer service is a joke. I have tried to contact customer service via instant message on the website and it straight up just doesn't work. There is also an option to write a message and be called back. This takes you to a 404 webpage does not exist. Finally trying to call the 800 number will yield you going through several robots that will not give you to a real person unless you answer all of their questions perfectly. They will hang up on you if you ask for a customer service representative too many times.
Once you finally get someone on the phone they usually try to be helpful, but it seems their hands are tied when it comes to applying billing changes and they can do nothing but promise it will be fixed in the next bill. Obviously, it is not fixed and I'll have to call again and deal with it which will take no less than 2 hours. I cannot recommend Verizon as a mobile service provider.

In March 2023, I visited the Verizon store in Hazle Township to upgrade my Samsung S10e to an S23. I was informed that I could receive an $800 credit for my trade-in. Upon receiving my first bill, it was apparent that the promotional credit was miscalculated, reflecting a $400 credit dispersed monthly, rather than the agreed-upon $800. I immediately contacted the store, who directed me to Verizon Wireless corporate. After multiple attempts to resolve the issue, both parties redirected me back and forth. Eventually, a store representative submitted a promotional correction form, but no action was taken.
Despite monthly follow-up calls, no resolution was reached until January 2024, when I was informed that I needed to upgrade to a higher-priced plan to receive the full credit, a stipulation not disclosed during the initial transaction. Reluctantly agreeing, I have yet to receive the promised credit as of June 2024, 15 months after the original purchase. I am currently being billed the full amount for the phone, not even receiving the $400 credit now, in addition to the higher plan costs. Throughout this ordeal, I have experienced extensive wait times, dropped calls, and a lack of follow-through from Verizon representatives. This ongoing issue, coupled with documented records of numerous calls over 15 months, has led me to believe that Verizon's promotional practices are deceptive and their customer service is severely lacking.

Poor customer service, we were assured that it would be taken care of by 6 different CSRs, yet here we are with some unexpected charges that we had not agreed to on our bill. Expensive with hidden fees and charges added on without notice. Reported to attorney general.

First of all Verizon's 5G network does not work after their pandemic. It is impossible to get any service. I have one bar all the time The phone constantly switches over to my home Wi-Fi and I'm making calls and using my own Wi-Fi while paying Verizon over $130 a month. I'm absolutely speechless why would I fork over that kind of money to use my own Wi-Fi to make phone calls and use my own data and still pay them. It makes absolutely no sense. Verizon is fully aware of the problem and offered me $4 off my bill. When I complained about that they changed it to $10. I told them, "This is absolutely ridiculous. You're not giving me any money off. You're actually giving me my money back that you are stealing from me every month." Customer service is such a joke. I guess they have a scripted response to probably over a million people calling with the same problem.
It's sad because Verizon used to be the best. Now I'm considering mint mobile because I am sure that their service could not be any worse than Verizon and I would have over $110 dollars extra per month. The best part is when they want me to serve as a technical team member and do hours of troubleshooting taking away from my life minutes for a network that they know does not work. It is beyond funny. And for a billion dollar company they won't even give you a copy of the chat if you choose to chat with a rep online The reason they do not do this is because all the rep does is lie to you the whole time and when you ask for a transcript of the chat they tell you that they're unable to do that and you can screenshot the conversation but their app doesn't allow screenshots because they don't want any proof of what their agents said.
I just wonder how such a once great company turns into a total scam. They need new leadership and I need a new cell phone provider as soon as my contract is over. I'm going to go over to mobile. I'm honestly telling you their service could not be any worse than what I'm getting now. I'm making my calls over my own home Wi-Fi and also using my own home Wi-Fi data. So my advice to anyone reading this review would be to try mint Mobile or anybody except for Verizon. Make them your last resort like if you couldn't get cell service or a cell plan anywhere in the universe!

Top fifteen ways for Verizon lose a customer of over 20 years…
15. Have customer service agents give the wrong information, multiple times.
14. Do not take ownership of the problem and tell the customer the problem is his/her fault.
13. Have multiple people lie to the customer.
12. Tell the customer they are not allowed to know the cause of a fraud hold being placed on the account.
11. Give the customer someone they cannot understand and people who have to be given access to the account because they are subcontractors and not actually with Verizon.
10. Invalidate the customer’s frustration by telling them that he or her should not get upset and mock their requests by stating that we all want things, especially do this after 5 days of an ongoing problem and more than 4 hours of time on the phone.
9. Talk nonstop to the customer and even let them know how big Verizon is (over 70 departments) along with a lot of other personal information.
8. Illustrate that a tech company cannot solve a tech problem, even as simple as allowing the customer to resign a contract the computer lost and create a ticket that will take an additional 48 hours to solve to make sure it is over 7 days of not having the order processed.
7. Try to sell them other services and even a credit card while Verizon is not solving the problem or processing the order.
6. Refuse to escalate the problem to the supervisor when the customer knows that the supervisor has already had to try to address the problem, even better message the supervisor and relay the information back and forth to the customer, instead, to make the call longer while mentioning you cannot access the buttons to fix the problem.
5. Make the customer repeat the situation repeatedly instead of reading the notes.
4. Make sure to keep the customer on the call an hour each time they call, or worse two hours, even better, add toxic interactions to the call to make sure the customer is put in his/her place, even better make sure to hire people overseas that really dislike **.
3. Make the customer call more than once to solve the problem, or even better, make them call five times and still make sure to not solve the problem or have the chat interactions always make the customer call instead of actually trying to fix a problem through the chat to avoid a phone call.
2. Do not send the necessary email that alerts the customer of an order problem.
1. Cancel the customer's order to try to solve the problem and try to put in a new order (oops the same problem appeared again), even better do this three times and make them clear fraud each time as well and never tell them why it triggered fraud in the first place, definitely do not alert them by email or through the app that another hold has been placed.
8 hours, 7 phone calls, 6 days, 5 Verizon store visits, 4 orders and cancellations, only 3 nice customer service representatives, 2 trade-in cancellations and upgrade attempts, 1 delivery only and a hot mess of a company later with no resolution….So, we need to switch companies. It is not worth your time and aggravation.

When I purchased the phone, the rep said there was a deal that they would give me a last year's iPad for free. When I got the first bill, there were three extra lines that I never signed up for. The bill was over $800.00. It was a scramble to get the extra lines suspended. After all that dust settled, I then found out that the iPad was not free. I didn't want to pay for it and was told I could return it and stop paying for it. But the charge never was dismissed despite multiple efforts and many delays.
A local rep is still trying to help me, but I'm not expecting anything to come of it. I have an overdue bill because I don't like giving money to thieves. They are cruel and greedy. I wish I could tell the world and throw off their horrible business. I am beyond angry and deeply frustrated.

Verizon is a nightmare. They have 'automated" so much that it is nearly impossible to do any legit business with them. They charged me for a phone that didn't work. My boyfriend and I decided to "try" the "family plan" after seeing a promo ad on tv. His phone was never activated properly so for 3 weeks he could not make or receive calls. My "new" phone would not take a wall charge and could only be charged on my lap top which is not at all sustainable. We both got these lame new phones on a Verizon special. All we were asked to do is pay the taxes on the phones. Well 3 weeks AFTER I returned this DEFECTIVE phone Verizon CHARGED me over 800.00 for a phone I had already paid for. Now they refuse to refund me. I am currently retaining a lawyer as well as being part of a huge class action law suit that hundreds of people have filed against this behemoth of a failed company.
Do yourselves a favor and RUN. Do not walk AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE corporate pig of a company. They are horrendous and really should be put out of business for fraud. We moved to Consumer Cellular and are SO MUCH HAPPIER. They have REAL PEOPLE that actually pick up the phone. They do not charge separately for things like chargers like verizon does. Chargers come with the phones at Consumer Cellular as they should. Customer service is knowledgeable where verizon employees really cannot possibly navigate their horrible systems that are far too complicated and convoluted.
One verizon employee will say one thing, then when you call back the next verizon employee will tell you something totally different. It is quite literally impossible to get a real answer or any real help. When a company itself only cares about gouging their customers and taking as much as they can from you all while giving very little in return it is pretty obvious. Consumer Cellular has excellent (way better than verizon) coverage, great customer service, no gimmicks or false advertising. Just do it...get away from this fraud company and go back to real relationship with a company that has more than dollar signs in their eyes.

I have been with Verizon for three years now. My first three years was overall fine with a few dead spots in my area but overall comparable with the big 3! Then I received an offer to upgrade to an iPhone 15 from my iPhone 11 and I did NOT have to change my plan but would be on the hook with Verizon for another 3 years. I did it and it was a disaster. First they had one phone that they never did ship and had to replace it with another phone. Then they finally got us all three iPhone 15s and then told me that they were upgrading all 4 of my lines and my bill would go from 195 down to 185. Then I looked online and each line had a different monthly amount.
Called again and they "fixed the issue" and now I look online and I show two different plans. 2 lines on one plan and the other 2 lines on another plan. They show my next months bill being 329.00 and my "future monthly amounts" 222.00 a month. What happened to the 185.00 a month and I was told that I would have 30 gigabytes of hotspot per line and today I was told that I have no hotspot on two lines and only 5 gig on the other 2 lines! REALLY!!
I called back and told them that I had very little patience because I had been lied to over and over and I was pretty much done. They said they were sorry and that they would get me a credit on my account for the inconvenience and would fix my issues. Surprise, NO CREDIT ON ACCOUNT, instead a 329.00 bill and a bunch of "I'm sorry" and "how inconvenient" but nobody has answers. I get text saying that they have not received my trade in phones yet I have proof of delivery on all 3 phones. As of today, not 1 person has done what they said they would do. The last person I spoke to today said that he would send me an email stating that my bill would be 185.00 a month for the next 36 months and guess what, yep, NEVER CAME!!! ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. Save your time and money and find another carrier.

Very unsatisfied customer and will be shopping around to find another service! We have a family account (6 lines), one family member called to try to lower the bill due to the horrible reception that we have been getting, constant dropped calls and conversations that sounds like the person on the other end is a robot. She was informed by a Verizon associate that they could lower the bill by changing the plans on the lines and they would give her a Netflix/Max package perk but failed to inform her that by changing the plan on one of the lines that it would lose its promotional deal on a device payment and lose its perks of Disney/Hulu bundle.
I called back and tried to put the original plan back on the line, they ended up putting the plan back on the wrong line and she lost her Netflix/Max perk. I called back again to straighten it out and they said that they do not offer that plan anymore and if we wanted the Disney/Hulu package back that we would have to pay for it! Long story short, they allowed her to change a line plan so they could get it off a plan that they don't offer any longer so we would have to pay for the perks that they had promised and so that the monthly device payment would go up and when they were called out on it we were told that there was nothing that they could do about it. This was nothing short of dishonest and horrific business practices!

Every month I spend hours tracking down a live person to reverse the additional charges they come up with! They have the worst customer service. You can never find a live person, the automated chat is useless, and the problem is never resolved. They reverse the disputed charges only for them to appear again next month. If you don't pay attention to your bill, for which they give you an incentive to put on auto pay, then you are charged more every month for one thing or another.

My nightmare with customer service or lack of it! My new contract with Verizon began on April 1, 2024; I had ordered a new phone and signed a contract via virtual advisor and picked up my new Apple Iphone in person at the Verizon store in Garner, NC. Fast forward a few days and I began having dropped calls as well as my phone going to SOS mode every evening! Contacted verizon and was offered several things to try. Over the course of the next few days nothing worked so I called back and was told more things to try.
Finally had enough and on my 30th day which by luck have it was the last day to return the defective phone a tech agreed to overnight a new one. That was on Thursday,, May 2nd, 2024, waited all day Friday, May 3rd., called Customer Support and told it would be there by 8 pm. It never arrived, called back and got the recording it was after hours and to call back the next day. I called back Saturday, May 4th, 2024, passed around to 4 Reps, each lied and said they were getting me a supervisor, after an hour and no supervisor they said the phone should be there Monday, May 6th, the delivery driver dropped a phone no signature and no one home but my Mother saw them leaving and immediately came and retrieved the box, as she was about to pull away I arrived home, she said this box feels too light to have a phone, I opened the box and there was a phone box inside with no phone just a charger and dirty fingerprints on it.
I immediately called verizon and the nightmare began! I have contacted them almost every day since, being lied to each call that there was a replacement that would be shipped as soon as the 24-48 investigation into the stolen phone was completed! Wednesday was the time frame so I began calling back. I was told the phone would be shipped to replace this one. When the phone never arrived I called again and had to go through several reps, asked for a supervisor and was once again lied to, no supervisor came to the phone! I called again and was promised I would not have to go through any more reps that this gentleman was handling my call to the bitter end! After anothe hour being told he was getting a Supervisor, I had to go to a class!
The so called Supervisor returned my call and told me that the case was still pending and he could not do anything at this time! I almost lost my mind! The next call I made a lady informed me that the Warehouse had not been properly informed that my phone box arrive but no phone was inside but she would handle this issue and I would not have to deal with any other reps. She sent the message to the warehouse and said she was sending me a phone overnight and it was to arrive this past Monday, May 13th, 2024.
I called on Monday asking for a tracking number and was informed no phone had been shipped!! I called again this morning, May 15th and told no phone has been shipped and was left on hold waiting a Supervisor, which never came and I was told he may call me once he is out of his meeting in an hour or so!! I have wasted over 8 hours of my time being on the phone, which is totally unacceptable!! At this point I believe I should be released from this new contract and never have to deal with verizon ever again but each rep refuses and says that it not possible!! I am attempting to find an Attorney to take this off my shoulders before I actually have a stroke!

Then Verizon said, we didn't get the old phone back, then ok we received it. Then they said we owed $250 because we had dropped the insurance coverage . Not true because we always paid the same amount.
We spent many hours each week for a month on the phone with "supervisor" after supervisor told us "to pay" and got nowhere. We have never cheated anyone but we sure aren't paying for a new phone when his was covered by the insurance we had paid to Verizon. So Verizon puts this on our credit report. Shame on you Verizon.

I have been a faithful Verizon wireless customer since the early 2000's. I had a discount for paperless and autopay. However, in April of 2024 you can no longer use a debit/credit card and have to use a checking account. BE CAREFUL and read the fine print. You have to use a link they send you which then goes through an app called Trustly. You give Verizon access to Personal Details, Bank Account Details and Balances, Bank Account Transactions, Bank Account Statements, and Tax Documents for the last 24 months. If you do not give Verizon access to this information, you do not get your discount. Why would verizon need your tax statement personal information???? Something fishy going on and little too much info for a cellphone provider. Went to the store to give them the checking account info and they said you have to use the app only.

I am having difficulties getting a detailed response from Verizon Wireless, writing, in New Jersey. On March 30, 2024, I switched mobile providers from T-Mobile to Verizon Wireless. There were a number of issues with the delivery of the four phones. After transferring the phone to Verizon Wireless, I continued to have problems.
Issue 1: The physical phones were shipped via UPS. I was never told that someone needed to be home to accept the package. I only received the day that the deliver was to occur. There wasn't a time range given. All I was told was that the delivery would occur before 7:00pm. When calling Verizon customer service, they indicated that I needed to contact UPS. When contacting UPS, they told me that I needed to speak with Verizon. I was told that would attempt three deliveries. If I was unable to receive the package, it would be shipped to the warehouse and I would receive a refund. The refund would take around two weeks to process. Fortunately, I worked near the UPS customer center. There the manage was helpful and held the package for me. Verizon was not concerned about the time I needed to spend to fix the issue.
Issue 2: Originally I was told that I could setup automatic checking account payments to receive a $10 per month/per line discount. I was also told that the automatic payments could not be set up at this time. When I received my billing statement, the discount was not present. I needed to argue with the billing department to get the credit. I did set up the autopay as soon as I was able to set it up. I eventually received the credit on my account.
Issue 3: I was told that I would get a rebate for each phone line because I switched providers. I submitted the form and waiting. The original message indicated that I was not entitled to the rebate. Speaking with Verizon Support on April 19, 2024, I was told that I would get the rebate because the denial was in error. I was given ticket number (**). At that time I was able to capture the CHAT using screenshots on my phone. After 7 days I tried to get an update. I was given a ticket number of **. After some time, attempted to get a status. Again I was told that I was entitled to the rebate. The customer service agent indicated that they couldn't find the ticket number to give me a status update. I was told that I was not entitled to the rebate and they would do an investigation.
General Support issues:
- The biggest issue is the inconsistent communications. If I was told I was not entitled to a rebate, I would have taken action before my one month range to return the phones and go back to my original mobile provider. This is costing me approximately $800.- The support agents of today could not find the support tickets that I was given each time that I called. I do have screenshots of one CHAT conversation.
- The Verizon application no longer allows screenshots or provides the customer with a log of the conversation. They do provide a CHAT id. The id is over 25 characters long, so it is difficult to capture. I was able to get one CHAT ID.
- I was informed that support cannot text or email me with detailed information. It is a generic message.
I would like the outcome of this complaint to be either $800 or allow me to switch away from Verizon without penalties. I feel that the whole delayed process is like a "bate and switch". If I was given the correct information on April 19, 2024, I would transferred away from Verizon. Today (May 7, 2024) I was told the 30 days for returning has past and I cannot return the two phones that I used to swap with Verizon.

Verizon, like all internet providers, continue to disappoint. I had a meeting with a rep and a "solutions specialist". The solutions specialist did not study the information I gave on our business needs - we are a seasonal business - but her solution sounded exciting and doable and she proposed a 3 year affordable device upgraded contract, paid monthly. The monthly wasn't a problem, but she forgot to add that if we disconnected service after our seasons (which we have done for 5 years with Verizon, as she was told), we would have to pay for the device in full. So what was $50 over three years (for each 120 locations) it was now $400 each for 70 locations (5G) and $300 each for 50 locations. So what we thought was going to be an upgrade for $6000 over three years, now became an upfront of $63,000. Her backup plan was a lesser device for $99 each, "if that helps". So, another disappointment as we slog through the yet to be honest and helpful ISP jungle. It is shameful that these huge companies can just run roughshod over people without paying a price.

Been a Verizon customer for a long time more than 10 years. This company took over the service I had before, Cingular, before that att. Like I said was a dedicated customer till today. I paid for my service and still no service has been granted after asking 7 different customer reps changing the story asking the same questions and me giving them sensitive info. I was told to turn off phone and it will be fixed. I did what was asked every time and then some, but nothing worked so I asked for supervisor was told no. After the 7th person denial finally gave me a supervisor but they would call me back. I get a call back from maria supervisor saying that my sims card doesn't match my phone which is weird because I've had the same phone and number for more than 5 yrs but after all this time and after I paid, my phone service sucks worst and now no data. I feel that I was ripped off.
Now they're saying I need a new phone and sims card. I'm livid because of the lies and runaround after all these years being dedicated because not wanting to change my number I stay dedicated but Verizon decided to make me upgrade. The economy is very unstable. Most customers can't afford new but today I will not be discriminated nor be treated like this. It's like having a child from birth and now after the kid is teenager. I find out it's not my kid and I gave them all my money and time. Verizon corporate please be notified that you're going to lose a lot of customers due to these malicious tactics. If I have to replace my phone and sims I promise I will switch networks and you will lose one dedicated and loyal customer. I advice no one after this treatment and I'm a veteran too to find a better service provider.
Verizon is using scam tactics to upgrade. Didn't apple just get in trouble for similar tactics. I wonder if corporate is in accordance with this. Oh wait. Yes they are. After speaking to Maria seems that they can force you go get another phone and sims card after having no issues till today. I can't afford it and I paid for a service that now I can't use. Thanks for robbing me and locking up phone. Verizon sucks and should be checked for using such tactics especially if you're a long time customer is shocking but greed seems to be today's corporate.
Customers need to start boycotting these terrorist tactics. Make me pay then say I need new everything. Shame on you Verizon. You're about to lose a loyal customer. Stay away from Verizon. They're not the same as before. It's a damn shame and no refund, just get another phone. I'm disabled and my phone worked good always. Now after all this I feel they messed me up on purpose but no worries verizon. If I have to go to the news and every agency to tell everyone this horrible tactic that your implementing to customers with older phones that really ain't that old.

This is by far the worst Online buying experience I have ever tried. They offer you online discounts to purchase and set up a service for a cell phone but won't allow you to complete it online. I still had to use their chat service and chat with 3 to 4 different agents on 3 to 4 different occasions in a week and a half time period, to go over the same information that I was trying to purchase. I received no less than 15 e-mails letting me know that I still had tasks to perform to complete my order even after I received order confirmations and receipts. The tasks they wanted from me were to upload my drivers license and proof of address documents which I did no less than 7-10 times in which I would receive a message that my order would be cancelled and a few days later....IT WAS!

Why should he care. I originally signed up for Straight Talk in 2015. Since Verizon took over had no customer service. So today I choose a different carrier.

My family has been with Verizon for about 10 years and honestly had only good things to say. Unfortunately, now that I just opened up my own account that's changed. Before my very first bill was due I tried to sign up for auto-pay and also accidentally hit pay current bill. Well turns out I mistype 1 number in my routing number and was never notified that the transaction didn't go through. In fact, I was actually told the opposite, confirmation number and all. I only found out about the issue because of an auto-pay cancelation notification that came 12 days after enrolling.
Now I'm restricted to only card until October and was told by financial services I cannot fix it until my restriction ends. Again, all this happened because of the first payment on my first bill on a brand new account. To top it off if I hadn't asked multiple times why I couldn't just enter my card info myself via the Verizon app I would have been charged for them entering the info for me over the phone. This is honestly ridiculous for what is literally my first bill payment. I can't believe I chose to pay more and stay with Verizon instead of switching to Mint because I thought I could trust this company.

I paid $20.81 to finalize what I thought was the last bill, confirming it with a person on the phone and also visited the store. I kept getting bills to the tune of $221. They assured me that it was paid and would have someone call me if they had questions or concerns. Never received a call, and I ignored the bill.
They have since turned it over to Collections and they threatened me that if I don't pay it, it will go on my credit report! I worked hard to get my credit score to 840 and didn't want that to happen. So with a noose around my neck, I ended up paying it. These people are crooks and not understanding at all.

I have been trying to close this account for a good 3 months, and finally I believe all my numbers have been ported over and the account closed. One little hiccup: they indicate I still owe for 1-3 months? I have questioned this again and the response I got was: "Oh your bill is so high because you are paying off the desk phone".... I was paid off in october of last year.
Then I was told I have a high bill because the service was shut off... mind you before the end of the billing cycle that was paid for. They said I was responsible for reactivating the service even though they had shut it off. I needed the number ported over, but Verizon in all their wisdom failed to do what was needed to get the number ported....taking me an additional 2 months of their crappy service to finally get it done, however I am being billed 3 times what that last month should have been charged. If I owed the the bill I would quickly just pay it, but I do not owe it and getting them to recredit and pay you back is virtually impossible!
As it sits, I am returning any and all their equipment, with a supposed credit. Of course it is to go against the supposed "bill" I owe. I will never see any money returned even though the first year I had Verizon, I paid over $9000 just in monthly bills, and then last october I paid off $3000 for equipment charges. Verizon NEVER fulfilled the contract, but yet I'm penalized for their screw ups! As a small business, paying this kind of bill was just a total nightmare! Verizon has yet to explain why 1 month I was charged $1200, and the next month $200. Or why when trying to close the account, I am expected to pay more when everything was paid off!
I unfortunately can't tell the whole nightmare story as there is not enough time in the day to include every detailed issue I have had! I just know, I would seriously rethink Verizon as a company I would ever consider doing business with! They do NOT CARE WHO THEY RIP OFF! Stay far away from this awful company! They are far from bad, they are the worst company I have had the misfortune of coming in contact with! Never plan on getting the same answer from any of the idiots that work there! They all misrepresent and fabricate any and all responses. I honestly believe they intentionally go out of their way to really piss people off in hopes that they will get so discussed that they just give up! I am to that point, I am tired of fighting, out of all the audits our consumer agencies conducts on crappy companies, I wish Verizon was on the top of their list! Awful, Awful company! Stay far away!
Original Review: If I could I would not give Verizon any stars! Verizon has been a total nightmare with my business account! They extort the heck out of you/your business etc. I have had nothing but horrible service since I started. When I argue with the support person - mind you I did not curse or say inappropriate words like stupid, dumb or anything else, I was not out to insult the person helping me. I just needed to get things cleared up, however when they could no longer answer the questions...because they made no sense, or possibly they realized they COULDN'T give an intelligent answer.....they simply hung up! (Even after requesting a supervisor.)
My bills have ranged from $400 to $1200, without a reason as to why. When I was given a guarantee that things would be adjusted...my bills just got higher. I would get past due notices, with late charges, only to see that there was no past due issues, but they still got the extra payments. When I was over charged on my home account, I was told we were SOL as no refund would be made - the issue was fixed but the $$ extra that added up over $400 was never refunded. I would never in a million years recommend this fly by night company who have no respect for anyone and the bottom number is what it is all about even if they obtain it by ripping their own customers off! If you are looking for a good wireless company STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON! THEY ARE THE WORST!

Verizon Wireless ruined the phone I bought outright from Samsung and had had for less than a month, their fix was to give me the same phone from them, or so I thought. Instead they gave me a "trade in credit" which is essentially just a contract for a no contract plan. You have to stick with them for 3 years or you lose whatever trade in credit you had. I then did not have service at my house, was missing important work calls and texts, I stated I was going to just cancel with them anyways and that was when I was finally told the above. Which was apparently on page 16 of the stack of papers they gave me.
I was sent an extender for my troubles, which does not help in any room other than my living room. I have stuck through this for over a year and Tmobile was doing a promotion last month where they would give you up to 850 dollars to pay the previous phone off. You have to have the itemized copy of the bill from Verizon and send it to them in order to take advantage of the rebate. It has been 32 days, which is over the 30 day limit for the rebate.
I am now on the hook for the full price of the Verizon phone, which if the credit had been applied as it should have been, in full and just taken off of the balance of the phone, there would be no balance at all because Verizon WILL NOT send me my final bill. They are still charging the service for children's watches even though I canceled prior to my next billing period. They finally canceled the main line but are still charging for watches that have been paid off for a while now. Do not use this company. They are crooked, lying, thieves. They claim to have service in my area, but my phone determined that to be a lie. Despite a multitude of calls to customer service and having to completely factory reset my phone each time I still did not have service.
