A month or so after I had switched to Verizon I had the misfortune of one of my kids getting mayonnaise in the charger. Although it was fully charged, I had to take it in that day to get a new phone. Most importantly, on my phone were texts I needed to show that a contractor had taken 8,000 dollars from us. They had not yet been printed out. That morning (Sept 24) my grandmother had died and so I didn't make it into the store until later. When I got there I found dozens of people. Verizon had bought out a carrier in Northwest Missouri and had given 40,000 people the opportunity to switch over in a week. They had NOT given many, if any, extra workers to St. Joseph store to do this. Even though they knew in advance. The people there told me it was hours of waiting. Well, I had about an hour before I had to leave the store. I thought maybe the line would go down, came back later and no one else could get on the list.
Overnight my phone died. I was pretty scared the next morning when I took my 3 year old son to the store to get a new phone and ask if the info could be changed over since it died. I arrived at around 9:15. Signed up on the list and left around 10:30 to get my son something to eat and something to calm my nerves to continue the long wait. At somewhere around noon my name was called. Because my phone had died they couldn't access my account by sending me a text. Apparently I had a pin that I couldn't remember.
On top of that, when I had brought my phone with me from Mint Mobile (purchased for around $400) they wanted around $800 for the same phone. I lost it, I stood up and shouted "$800 for a new phone. I've only been with Verizon for a month". I forgot about my need to get the info off my old phone, took my son and left. I went to T-Mobile. I was sobbing when I got there. I signed up and got the closest phone to mine. After leaving, I realized I still had a phone account with Verizon and the information about the contractor and all my phone numbers on my phone. I was really upset and scared about the texts for the contractor and not being able to call family regarding the funeral. If I had been able to get service the day before, I would have been able to switch it all over. I am not good at phones and didn't know what to do.
I walked in and tried to wait for a person to talk to. Really I cut because I was so upset. I began telling the man everything going on and what had upset me. I raised my voice, I didn't call names, but I did cause a massive scene that I'm not proud of. I was pretty angry. He said there were no "managers" there told talk to. Which is really who I was hoping could resolve it. A woman there told me I couldn't yell at her workers and to get out. Multiple times actually. (I had recently had some massive losses and financial uncertainty and was mentally at a breaking point). Surprisingly, after she left I processed how she had said she would call the police. I needed some mental assistance and went back in and basically asked her to call the police. She yelled "get out, get out, get out"! While running toward me. I basically had a mental breakdown after this.
I went and found a place to call for help. So, curiously, the lack of support for their staff in such a huge change resulted in the final tragedy that I could handle in life. The problems with getting the info off my phone are ongoing but I'm slowly building up my contact list. But, that day actually ranks as the worst this year. I really think if they had had more staff it would have been different. Sitting for hours with thoughts and fears turning in one's head is not good.

Just a little backstory, my bill was $330 a month. I have 2 iPhones, and iPad, and an Apple Watch set up on my account. I took a look at my bill after having their service for a year because I just didn’t see how it was so expensive when the two line plan was $100, yes we did have extra devices but it was not $230 worth of payments. I did some digging and found that they were charging me $60 a month in insurance. So I had them remove it. All of a sudden an extra charge was coming up on my account and now my bill (after removing $60) is now $300.
Please tell me how removing $60 worth of charges only saved me $30? When I confronted them about this and told them there is a random $30 charge tacked onto my bill they told me it was a deduction but it was 1000% an extra added expense. Even after adding together all the charges there was no way possible that anything was being deducted. They are sneaky, and this company has already been sued once for mischarging their customers, and they are still doing that. I had no choice but to switch to Verizon because it is the only service that works at my job, but if any company should be labeled a fraud, it’s Verizon Wireless.

Verizon removed my Asurion insurance from an iPad I had covered for over 7 years and switched it to cover iPhones without my knowledge so when my iPad broke it wasn’t covered. Over the years I paid over 4000 dollars in insurance coverage only to have a claim denied because someone at Verizon removed the coverage from the only device I wanted covered. I never wanted or asked for insurance on any other device on the account and never authorized a switch of the insurance to the new devices.

I am a very unsatisfied customer. I traded my phone into Verizon only not to get the rebate promised but to have lost a phone and because of their employees not setting up my account correctly not able to use the insurance. I am stuck paying for a phone I don’t have and can’t replace as well as paying for the line itself along with a watch. No one on customer service can help but they can say, "No we can’t help clearly."

Verizon deserves a negative 1! Their customer service is TERRIBLE and appears to be offshore! I have yet to have the simplest of questions answered in less than 30 minutes and no one can ever answer! The numerous discrepancies in account management are pitiful! I have been with them for over 14 years and have decided to go elsewhere. No one knows anything, and the once top tier service provider who prided themselves on quality of products and services is long gone. I don't care what promotions they are offering you, don't do it!

I’m new to Verizon. I switched from T-Mobile and it has been a nightmare with Verizon. T-Mobile has superior customer service and coverage. I have been trying to resolve a couple of fraudulent charges from billing at Verizon. I have had numerous chats and phone calls for over a week now. I have no other choice except I will be filing a lawsuit.

Verizon added insurance protection to my account without my consent. The charge was an additional $20 for the month. I called to ask why it was added without my consent. The rep would not answer and would deflect, at one point telling me it was "good coverage." I said I understood but that I did not want it or sign up for it. I asked if she could ensure that no additional services would be added to my account without my consent. She could not give me that confirmation. I asked to speak with a supervisor so that at least someone at Verizon could confirm that additional services would not be added without my consent. She said no supervisors were available. I asked her to have one call me. I also asked for her to send me a statement in writing indicating that the protection was added to my account without my consent. I requested a refund, though it looks like they are only prorating my next bill and removing the charge for the future.
I recently joined Verizon on my husband's plan in July. The rep told me my line/plan would be $55/month, called the unlimited welcome. My husband was paying $85/month at the time for the exact same plan. I asked why his bill was so high, and she could not tell me. I asked her when the unlimited welcome plan became available, and she gave me the date. I asked her to refund the additional amount charged monthly to my husband for the duration of the time period (several years, totaling about $400). She gave me a claim number, saying my request would need to be reviewed. It is still in review.
I plan to cancel my Verizon plan in three months if I do not get the full refund. Terrible customer service. At the end of the call with the woman today, she laughed after saying, "It was a pleasure speaking with you today." She then said, "I learned a lot from you" and laughed again. Possibly because she was uncomfortable or annoyed. I did not get the sense she was laughing at me. But the experience was bizarre.

Awful service. Even worse customer support.! I have had a ongoing issue now for 5 months without home service. They required me to bring it in and then told me I needed to purchase a new box, which I did.. Now the new box will not connect they have created a ticket after spending 5 hours with customer support. I waited a week for the next scheduled appointment, that morning I received a email stating the issue was fixed, I have now been with customer support going through the same thing and troubleshooting with the same issues.. nothing was done! Same poor communication as with the language barriers from their support and trying the same old techniques without listening that this has been tried and getting the same results! I will be bring this back and looking into other service providers. I would highly recommend others do the same, a company like this should not be supported.

In brief, I transferred to them, got hung up on, got my service cut off for 24 hrs until it got resolved, paid them to resolve that issue they created for me and finally they point finger when it came to asking for a refund. In conclusion, Verizon has the worse customer service I have experienced in my life, nobody knows anything and if you ask anyone online or in person they push you to someone else and that someone else push you back to them lol like the three spider meme if you have seen it haha (picture show 1% of the headaches). DO NOT GET VERIZON, I am sorry but they are not even decent. They are at the bottom of every service, EVERY SERVICE. Home improvement is the worst, but Verizon just snatched it from them. HEY VERIZON! You owe me $300! Pay up.

I’ve been a customer of Verizon since the bag phones. Their telephone and online services used to be excellent. In the last couple of years they’ve shipped all Customer Service overseas and I’ve used it several times with results that have been disastrous. I’m often given an incorrect information that has cost me money and time. They don’t even send you follow-up Service anymore. Inquiring about the service because obviously, they know it’s horrendous. Their call centers are staffed with people that are untrained and try to upsell you. I was overseas and was given completely incorrect information that cost me a significant amount of money.

Have had Verizon for 7 years and quit TODAY. I’m delighted. Nothing to do with coverage. THEIR CUSTOMER “SERVICE” is purposeful torture now. Complete change from the first 7 years. I've looked at current data on the company. They have lost a huge number of customers this year but keep reassuring investors. Don’t be fooled - without a macro change quickly they are going to rival ATT customer service ratings and related loss of customer base. I’m now paying less than half with delightful, excellent coverage and service with T Mobile. Switch - you’ll thank me.

Then I called again if they resolve my issue but guess what? They didn't. Only gave me credit of 3 months which is $90. I ask the guy I spoke that, "Make sure you wrote it on your note that you're giving me $295 credit." He said, "Yes ma'am blah blah."

Verizon Wireless customer service is simply horrible! My ordeal started on 9/7 when I realized I had paid twice for one bill. Customer service assured me that the overpayment would be credited back to my bank by 9/11. 9/11 came and no credit, so contact was made and two customer service reps promised me that I would have it within 24 hours. 24 hours later and no refund and that is after a total of over 7 agent conversations. Next day I was at a Verizon store and talked to a rep who told me it would be a total of time p business days and there is no way a refund could be processed in 24 hours. So, three agents literally lied to me. Finally an agent said no refund, but they would credit my account for the September bill. Now I am told that my September bill payment is now overdue! It makes no sense! At this point I don’t know what to do. Customer service is not to be trusted!

I have only been a Verizon customer for a few months. I’m disgusted with the way they do business. My bill goes higher every month. They do not give free phones. They credit every month. I went to a Verizon location at 6400 Pacific Avenue Huntington, California. They say they are a corporate office. I asked the salesman to take a look at my phone because my phone was not ringing. It was vibrating and I believe I was having problems with a hacker in my phone. I was quoted $30.00 for them to look at it. I said no. I went outside and called customer service. When I got them on the line corporate office was mad because I called customer service and asked them to converse with each other. I didn’t have to pay to fix my ringer. The company is terrible from purchase to end of contract.

What a horrible company that does not value their loyal long term customers! I had an issue with my phone and Verizon told me there was no way to fix it, that I must do an insurance claim. After receiving the new phone and trying to transfer everything from my old phone to the new one, I found out that the whole time I had my phone, none of my stuff was backing up to my cloud, so I was about to lose everything. I took my phone to Best Buy and had the screen replaced so I could access my phone again. And what do you know it worked but I was out $450.
I took my phone to my local Verizon store to ask them what would be best, should I send back the replacement phone they sent and keep my old phone since it was restored and had all my stuff on it or transfer my stuff to the replacement phone and send back the old phone. The poorly trained Verizon employee told me it would be best to transfer the stuff from my old phone to the replacement phone. He then connected my phone to the store Wi-Fi where it immediately did a hard reset on my phone because my Find My was off. This is something that he should’ve known was going to happen. He should’ve had me turn my Find My back on before connecting to the Wi-Fi.
So after having just spent $450 to have access to my phone again and all my stuff including over 6000 pictures all my passwords, my family calendar and voicemails from my late grandmother and a matter of seconds the Verizon employee had wiped my phone completely clean. So heartbreaking and not even an I’m sorry or nothing from him. So we called Verizon to speak to a supervisor where we intentionally ask if the conversation was being recorded. Her response. Yes. She promised us an automatic $300 credit to our account and said they were going to do an investigation on the employee and review all the notes on our account. She said to give it 5 to 7 business days and we would receive another $500 credit, so $800 altogether but that would not replace all the information that their employee wiped off my phone.
After waiting two weeks and the $500 credit never showed up we called to check on it and what do you know there was no evidence of our conversation, no recording, nothing in the notes about everything that the supervisor had promised us, the supervisor we talk to the second time told us all he could do was give us a $200 credit and that would be it. There’s so much more to the story. After that $200 credit is used towards our next month's bill we will be switching companies after being with them close to 15 years, it is so sad to see such a big company not do the right thing and not have any compassion towards their customers. Believe me when I say I will tell everyone I know about how poor Verizon customer services. Do better Verizon.

Customer service is nonexistent. I call them and reps do not speak English. The local stores are not answering phones anymore, all calls are rerouted to the main phone number. If there is an issue with a local store, I have to drive all the way back to the store, when a phone call would have solved the problem. Lastly, the Verizon rewards program is now a joke. There is nothing but poor tickets to poor ‘sports’ events. I am looking to sign up with another phone company.

I wanted to switch to Verizon because a friend told me she had no problems with them, and they were cheaper. I got the router in, needed an extender, it would not pair with router, tech support sent another one, said what I had was an older version. Now I'm a brand new customer, and they send me old versions..#1warning.. New extender, still no pairing, the one the tech sent does not work with the type Router I have, #2.... I told them get me an updated Router.
Finally they paired, went into my app, did not show new equipment, couple days later, still nothing. Had someone from tech try to help. They had me register, so now I'm locked out, they have my info, but won't email me my new pass so I wait 7 to 10 days for a new pass, tried to register, would not, another tech registered .. Same thing #3.
A good month later, finally got registered, but still cannot get into app, because now they have to send a code.. Now, they verified me, now I'm who I say I am.. But for "security " they have to send by mail.. Can't email, can't tell me on the phone.. So I'm stuck waiting yet another week. It's been problem after problem. The internet itself is finally working.. Late at night I see ' The Ring ' but not bad. I will tell you, I should have stayed where I was, but I have another company I'm going to try if this one doesn't get me going this next week. Had I read the reviews first, I wouldn't have switched, and I almost always read them.. Bottom line.. When you need help, seems the techs are very limited to what they can do.. And maybe to what they know since they've sent stuff that's not compatible or old stuff.. And their 'Security' is ridiculous.!

I’ve been a Verizon customer for over 27 years, and until recently, I’ve always been satisfied with the service. However, on August 3, 2024, I received an email from Verizon saying there was a change to my wireless plan. When I investigated, I discovered that my long-standing "Email & Web Unlimited" plan, which I’ve deliberately kept for years, was switched without my permission. This change affected all three phone lines on my account. The new plan Verizon moved me to is a significant downgrade in features and benefits, and it’s going to cost me a lot more based on how I typically use my phone. One of the main reasons I never switched plans was to avoid this kind of price increase, so it’s frustrating to have this decision made without my approval.
Since then, I’ve reached out to Verizon customer service more than 12 times, and while the representatives have been polite and tried to help, no one has been able to actually resolve the issue. Each time, I’m told it needs to be escalated to someone higher up, but I’m still left with no solution and no clear timeline for when this will be addressed.
As a long-term customer, this entire situation has been incredibly disappointing. I’ve invested years in Verizon’s service, and I would expect better communication and more respect for my preferences. It shouldn’t take this many phone calls and unresolved tickets to get a basic issue like this fixed. I’m sharing my experience here in the hopes that Verizon will take it seriously and finally resolve the problem. I’m simply asking to have my old data plan restored. After nearly three decades with Verizon, this is the least I’d expect.

Horrible customer service in store and on the phone, tech support doesn't know anything for what they are doing and just say they have to call you back and never do, never resolve any issues you're having and don't get actual network service most places, the phone might show 4-5g but Internet doesn't load. The only thing they are capable of is making sure you get sent your bill on time and the rest is just bs sales nonsense. In-store makes a mistake and doesn't transfer your insurance and now they refuse to allow you to get insurance because the phone isn't new enough so you have to buy another phone if you want insurance again.

My brother passed away and during his passing, someone was with him, stole his phone. I finally, after going through hl to get to the fraud department, either my phone went out or they disconnected. This person should have known how difficult it was just for me to get to her, went through the whole story then click. I can't mentally call back. She did let me know that my brother's number was changed, and I informed her that it was theft during his passing. Since Seattle PD told me they are too busy and understaffed to pursue the fraud (during the passing of my brother), they would not pursue as I had no transactions. I do now, but I needed the phone transactions and information. I am very upset.
This woman in the fraud dept. could have called me right back. Nope, ensuring that I'd have to go through hl to maybe even get her again. Exceptionally bad customer service. I was actually going to change my phone service to Verizon as well, but not after this experience. To be fair, many companies are making it almost impossible to resolve anything, the bots and automated are awful, customer service for most companies are generally horrendous, and they make you jump through all kinds of hoops. It's not just Verizon. Then, it's lazy cs people that are too d a m lazy to give a quick call back, knowing how bad and difficult it is for anyone to even reach them. Verizon is exceptionally bad.

We were enticed by a special promotional deal and switched over to Verizon two years ago. Over the past two years, we have had dozens of issue with the company. Verizon frequently switched us over to more expensive plans without our consent. They also added features (features we have no use for) and charged us for them every now and then, without us even being told about them, let alone agreeing to them. When I speak to their customer representatives, who are actually often pleasant, they would tell me that they couldn't reverse the bogus charges in real-time, but would issue a refund during the next billing cycle. Such refunds often would not come until I call them back and re-request in the following billing cycle.
They also backtrack on their promotional deals. Recently, I upgraded my phone to 15 Pro. I have their representative on record "promising" that my old phone would get a full trade-in value (and from Verizon's advertisement, it should). A month later, Verizon reduced the trade-in value by more than half claiming that the phone was in worse shape than what would command full value.
Moreover, I had a balance on my prior phone that Verizon was supposed to pay off as a part of the promotion. I just received my bill for the next month, and Verizon has the entire balance as outstanding to be paid - so next phone bill is now just under $1,000. I will of course need to call them regarding this. This would be yet another representative I need to battle with, adding to a vastly long list of Verizon agents I have spoken with over the past two years across various problems. I must have spent well over 30 hours on the phone. It shouldn't be like this, and it was never like this with AT&T previously.
For that upgrade to 15 Pro, I had to order three times with two cancellations to get it done. First, I was assigned to the Rockville Pike corporate store which the central office confirmed had availability. I waited several days and the store never contacted me to let me know it was ready. There was also never anyone picking up the phone at the store. Central office had to cancel the order and put in a new one.
This time, they recommended sending the new phone to my house. The phone never arrived. I spoke with several agents over the course of the following week, and eventually, some supervisor from their "escalation" team figured out that the phone was stuck in the "preparation" stage, and never left the warehouse, reason unknown. They had to cancel this second order and place a third one. So, a simple upgrade took around three weeks and around 5 hours on the phone with their procession of representatives. Verizon is truly a horrific company presently. It seems to be in utter disarray and is a company to be avoided at all cost. I will be switching to AT&T or T-Mobile as soon as I can.

I purchased my first contract cellphone and plan from Verizon at least 8 years ago and was with them for 12 years. Moved out of state so switched cell provider to Xfinity. Was with for about 6 years. Decided to move back to Minnesota. To make sure I had service switched to Verizon. It's not the same company it was when I first signed up with them. It took at least 4 tries to get the cellphone I purchased on Amazon to work. Verizon representative kept saying the sim card was locked. I later found out it wasn't. Signed up for a $45.00 monthly plan. Not only did they raise the monthly payment to $ 69.00 they are billing me two payments a month. $138.00 a month for one line is ridiculous!!! And this morning they cut off my service. As a disabled former American worker I will never do business with Verizon nor will I recommend them to anyone!!!

My phone is broken so that I am unable to access any application, including messaging, on my Verizon phone. Every avenue into Verizon seems to require a text to your phone to validate you. Unfortunately, it seems they believe their devices are indestructible and never experience hardware issues. I've tried to contact Customer Service but can't get past their automated BOT because I cannot reply to the text sent to the number, I've tried going to MY Verizon and am unable to access, even though I have the correct password, as it too requires a text to be sent to the phone to validate me, I even finally took the time to visit a retail store, they were required to send a text and even though they could see the device was physically unable to display a text let alone respond to it.
I fully understand and support the need to validate customers but core to the services provided is a replacement phone service for situation where a phone needs replaced. This means they anticipate their customers will break phones so how have they not defined a process for a customer (I believe I've been with them for nearly 20 years) that does not have access to receive text. Partly because of dread as to the painful process in front of me as well as the time once I've focused it's been no less than 48 hours of pure frustration. This should have taken 30 minutes or less. As well, I also have phone relationship with multiple devices with ATT. Until this happened I was going to consolidate all my telecommunications needs to Verizon but his quite frankly, irresponsible, lack of awareness of a customer experience has caused me to rethink.
Sent for verification which if the phone is broken means I cannot even call customer service, chat or even access my account on-line. I even went to the store and they require me to be able to accept a text when they can see physically see the phone isn't functional. What should have been a 30 minute or less exercise to move the phone number to a spare phone I maintain as back up if my primary phone breaks has now turned into a 24hr plus unresolved battle with Verizon.

On 8/30 I reached out to Verizon Wireless, they add my girlfriend's line to my account from her parent's Verizon account. We had reached out earlier in the month to make this adjustment and were told we had to wait a few weeks to complete the transfer. On the first call, we asked what this would do for my bill. They explained that it would lower my bill by roughly $10 to $119 a month. On the second call, I asked again what this would do to my payment and they again said my bill would go down to $119 a month total. While on this call they messed up and tried to add me to her parents' account. I did not have time to correct this and told them I would call back the next day and to undo the mistakes they had made.
I called back again the next day. This time they not only tried to add me to her parents' account again they also updated her parents' account with my information. Very frustrated at this point I asked to speak with a supervisor. I had that person complete the transfer and also verified what my bill would go to $119 total. After they completed the transfer I checked my upcoming bill and it is now $240 next month with $200 a month after that. I have reached out multiple times to support and they will not listen to the recordings and the last representative said they are sorry all my charges were not disclosed to me. I have wasted over 4 hours on this process. After I told their rep that I submitted this to the BBB, he said "Thanks for your loyalty." I have been a customer for 20 years.

I have been in places when I can’t open Google or even send a text to my dispatch after my delivery, in some circumstance all it displays is SOS NO SIGNAL AT ALL… I have addressed this issue to Verizon and their way of helping me is sending all my call to a foreign country to people who barely speak my language and to solve my issue have to call the United States. That’s crazy. They don’t care for their customers at all. All they want is money whether their customers receives excellent service or not.
I regret leaving T-Mobile for this junk of a company. T-Mobile care to help and serve their customers. That’s my next step going back to T-Mobile. Please do not join Verizon you will regret it.

I was able to get a hold of an agent at the port center who was very helpful and fixed the issue within a few minutes. I don't understand why the issue was not forwarded there in the first place.

I recently decided to switch to Verizon for my home Internet and cell phone. This has got to be the worst customer service I have ever encountered. It took them over a week just to get my phone number ported to my new phone. It took several calls where the customer service calls to address the issue and in most cases that representative would just hang up on me because they didn’t know how to fix it. Yeah calling customer service for Verizon is a challenge. You first have to deal with a very nosy automated response system that sounds creepy but doesn’t seem to want to accept the fact that you would like to speak to an agent. And when you finally get an agent on the phone you’re gonna get someone who barely speaks lick of English but on top of that, they have no clue how to support you.
Next time I had to address my home Internet service because 5G device I had not working properly. My Internet reminded me of back in the days of a 9600 modem and nobody from customer service seem to have a clue if they had it finally, one of their representatives was able to run a test determine that I needed a new device. So they were so they tell me they were going to order one and I should receive it in a couple of days. Call back after a week because I never received it and the customer service person told me that they couldn’t place the order due to error message. I asked OK well is there a way that they could fix the error message so that they can place my order and the agent basically said I don’t know sir. After two weeks of me calling to try to get the new 5g device, I was persistent to try to get an answer.
Finally received the device and was able to install it with no problem and I have amazing Wi-Fi now. But the amount of frustration it took to get one of their people to help me was just beyond acceptable. Also keep in mind that if you have problems with your Verizon, you’re out until the morning because they close at six and you don’t even get help with Internet service or anything after that time. I would never recommend Verizon to another customer. The only reason why I’m keeping it is cause I like the speed on my Wi-Fi but I know that the moment something happens with it I’m not gonna be able to get support.
The perks that they offer you to join are very difficult to actually get. You have to beg them for them and it will take them two months to get them to you. Mine was a $200 Target gift card and I kept having to call and go through the whole drama of their customer service nightmares and finally just said screw it I don’t need it that bad! I’ve never done business with Verizon, and I never knew they were such a sketchy company.

I am writing because this is a recurring issue and want the many folks (who deal with this issue in the future) to know that this issue is not unique to them. I signed up for a free month of a Verizon hotspot. It did not work out (which is fine). However, Verizon is charging me for the hotspot by saying they have no record of it being returned, despite me sending it via UPS with the prepaid label sent from Verizon itself. Unfortunately for them, I have my UPS tracking number saying that it was delivered several weeks ago. The support agent then said it was delivered to the wrong Verizon facility (in the wrong state-Indiana instead of Texas). Except obviously, it was shipped with THEIR prepaid label.
While this might sound like an unfortunate mishap, a quick Google search shows that this is a RECURRING issue. This has now taken hours to resolve (still unresolved). Essentially Verizon is charging me for a mistake on their part-an issue that is not unique to me, but apparently common to them. And then they are making it extremely difficult to resolve.

2-These options limit you to long wait times-a repair, issue could take over eight hours or more (have text logs, chat records of this) and still need another three on another day.
3-Verizon uses Asurion as their insurance carrier. Asurion has farmed out the repairs to other companies. Pay hundreds for insurance (for fast repairs) and they lose your phone.
Overall-Verizon has extremely bad customer service-the companies they contract out your repairs to have an even worse reviews. Verizon wants to raise your bill (without your approval-read the contract; Verizon increased the plan's costs, reducing speeds for more!) and provide the worst customer service. Avoid Verizon-and hopefully these grande phone carriers (Verizon, A.T& T., Sprint) will be broken up in antitrust legislation.

During the free trial I kept my previous internet provider since I was on a free trial with verizon and wanted to make sure it worked well.

Of course I'm charged for the "free trial period", and assessed $27.50 in one time charges, as well as having to pay for my other provider during that time.

I hope this helps others who are customers of Spectrum or considering being customers… I have been with Spectrum for over seven years as an Internet customer only. Straight internet - that’s it. I have a phone, a laptop, and a smart tv. That’s it. My monthly bill started at approximately $45. In the last two years, this same service has risen steadily, with no changes on my part. Paid my bill each month on time. Never complained when service went out as I knew they were working on it.
My bill for the past four months has been approximately $100. I called several times to ask for a lower rate and was denied each time. A couple of times the young voice at the other end acted as if I was bothering him or her. One finally suggested I cancel my service then wait for them to call and beg me to come back at a new customer rate for one year. For the record, and I told him this, I don’t play mind games, including that one.
Instead, I called Verizon who has been my cell phone provider for over ten years. Background: I chose Verizon way back because Verizon’s signal was so strong, on 9/11 it provided communication service inside and outside of the WTC towers on that fateful day. This allowed in part many people to say goodbye to their families or to let their families know they were okay.
Personally, Verizon customer service thanks me in my every call to them for my military service. This means a lot to me. No matter the issue they have a solution for me. I’ve come to trust them. They removed a late charge two months in a row when I lost my job. Excellent customer care. Verizon just offered me Internet service in addition to my cell phone service for the same rate Spectrum was charging me for their internet service alone. I went with Verizon - no-brainer.
But here’s the last kick in the teeth from Spectrum after being a loyal and good customer for over seven years. Because I was three days into the new billing cycle when I canceled them and because Spectrum DOES NOT prorate, they are charging me for a full month of service that they ARE NOT providing. They want their last $100 from me - for nothing. How about that? Their response about it? "It’s in the acceptance letter you agreed to seven years ago." So - beware everyone and learn from my experience if dealing with this unscrupulous company. Good luck or stay away is all I can say. There are better choices out there. For me, it is Verizon.

After being a loyal customer of Verizon Wireless for 19 years, I was utterly shocked by their recent treatment. This month, Verizon arbitrarily canceled my data allowance, claiming that I used up 9 gigabytes in a single day—an outrageous and unfounded accusation. When I contacted them, they flat-out refused to let me upgrade to an unlimited plan and instead demanded that I pay $15 for a measly 1-gigabyte boost. Their lack of flexibility and customer care was infuriating.
My wife and I decided enough was enough and made the switch to AT&T. The process was nothing short of a nightmare—it took us two full days of unnecessary hassles, including a trip to a Best Buy store, and futile attempts to get any real answers from their website. (By the way, the Verizon Wireless website seems designed to ensure you only speak to a soulless chatbot rather than an actual human.)
However, after two days of stress, we finally managed to secure an unlimited plan with AT&T that costs less than our basic plan with Verizon. To our surprise and relief, AT&T actually provides service at our rural farm in Vermont—something Verizon never managed to do. To anyone considering Verizon, I would strongly urge you to think twice. After nearly two decades of loyalty, I was left feeling unappreciated and taken advantage of. Switching to AT&T was the best decision we could have made. Verizon will make it next to impossible to leave.

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.

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.

**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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do not trust what they promise you! They sold me a defective I phone 15 pro max and not willing to replace it. I spent hours and hours and hours with them on the phone trying to reset the phone. They sent you from one person to another with the same results. I bought the phone for my business, use 4 months later, still no solution!!!! They charge me 3 times of what I agreed with them for the plan (I don’t have it in writing from the store) but Verizon customer service saying they don’t know what I agreed at the store the and they are trying to settle with me on a little discount which even this one they don’t even honor!
Customer Service seem like from another country, "Yes ma’am, no ma’am, I understand your frustration," etc.. just a waste of precious hours. I wanted to get a better plan. Now I’m stuck with a defective, expensive phone and extremely high bills. From $80 plan they’re forcing me to pay a bill of close to $360 a month plus A guest that I took to the store because he does not have Social Security number. They signed a contract with him for $50 plan just for having a number and ability to get text messages from them (unlimited). They're charging $198 a month. They have it as $50 a month for the plan and all the rest, all kind of Services, names, taxes, surcharges, etc… 4 times higher than he signed for! I was with him at the store. They promised him $50 + tax will be the max will pay.
Now, I am stuck with his bills as well because it’s under my address! DO not trust Verizon! They will get you signed in with an attractive plan and promised but once you’re in, they will manipulate you with totally different charges. In the beginning, they also answer the phone quickly, but once you call with complaints, they get you over somewhere in the Philippines that waste your time for an hour!!!

Verizon does not properly credit equipment returns and payments properly. I have attempted to contact them about an incorrect entry on my credit report. I called 7 times.

I also returned equipment to THEIR VERIZON STORE and that was not credited either.

I confirmed three times that I would have no future charges and would receive no future bills that I was 100% paid in full. I received a bill in the mail today and when I contacted customer service regarding the bill, they said that it wasn’t from Verizon. That it was surcharges from the “government” for porting my number to another carrier and then if I had Questions or concerns about it I would need to contact the “government” to dispute the charges, and in the meantime, I needed to pay Verizon a service fee for charging me the government surcharge.

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. Now, I am stuck waiting to see how bad my next month's bill is going to be and I am pretty sure this will not be fixed. Severely disappointed in Verizon. Been with them for almost 17 years and I feel this relationship has run its course.

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..? I am obviously closing my family account with them and will never purchase Verizon again.

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.

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.
