So this is pretty simple. I lost my a parent. Had to pay for the final expenses. Have been with Verizon for about 5 yrs now. Never ever needed help. This time I did. I called. Asked for an extension until the 17th. They said yes. Today they turned my phone off. Can't reach anybody.. and that means anyone. My siblings, my job.. My anything. You made an already awful time. The worst time. Thank you. The way you treat loyal customers is awful. I can see what everyone is looking to go elsewhere.

Verizon, I have been lied to over and over I have emails, call records, chats etc. I have had to unfortunately make some payment arrangements. I have been promised my service was secure. I have been told if. Pay a certain amount and call back to set an arrangement with a debit card my service would be turned back on. I even asked the financial services if he was for certain and he said he would put notes in. I have had emails sent chats that my service would not be interrupted. All o have gotten is lie after lies they don’t want to help they don’t leave notes and they don’t care if you have emails from other financial services agents guaranteeing your service is not going to be turned off. But you cal get lied to over and over.
If anyone else has had this I’m sure there are a lot of other feels they have been lied to over and over. Go run to another cell phone place DO NOT GO TO VERIZON CELLULAR. All you will get is a huge bill they like to increase for no reason. Lies from the agents and financial services. And no help. Be warned. Lies lies liars. I hate this company.

Suddenly, callers were told my number was no longer in service when I was in airplane mode or my phone was off. It's supposed to go to voice mail. In FOUR HOURS of calls to Verizon business, I got "I'm sorry, you can't make calls on airplane, just turn it back on;" "that's the way it's suppose to be and has always been and is with every carrier;" "give us every possible piece of personal information you possibly can, over and over, in slow motion, and spell every word;" and "the notes from today indicate that you don't know how to use voicemail and keep calling us because you don't know how to use voicemail. Let me teach you how to use voicemail;" and so on.

I switched to Verizon Wireless from AT&T business after horrible experience and services with them. I was counting on a smooth transition to verizon wireless with purchase of two new iPhones and new service on promo plan. Everything fine up to being able to pay bill or logon to account. After sitting on the phone after 6 attempts and 3 hours wasted time waiting on hold, I'm now locked out of my account with no current or anticipated resolution. This was the very reason we left At&t only to have same issues all over again.

I am going through a terrible experience. I was shocked when I got my first bill amounting to $514. The account was highjacked with all sorts of fees that were NEVER discussed with me prior to transferring my family phones over to Verizon. I never signed anything and I was not told I was going to be charged fees for transferring, activation, etc etc. I did not have access to my online account till a month later so I was not able to see anything relating to this bill. The personnel in the store did not mention any fees and neither did the customer service reps I spoke to in the phone. This is robbery. I don't know how this is even legal. Stay away from Verizon. They conduct dishonest business.

I had subscribed for Disney bundle plan with Verizon for over a year. They were not able to get it to work with my account despite my outreach to customer support team. Finally they resolved this - after 1 year but refusing to refund the loss I have incurred for 12 months now. Very disappointed. Been a customer with them for 10 years now! Looks like customer loyalty does not matter.

I had an iphone 13 I was paying about 90$ a month with apple one and the service. Verizon had a get an iphone 15 on us with a watch and a pad. I put in my phone info. When I went to check out the phone said 0$ a month for 36 month. The series 8 was backordered. After speaking with Verizon I put an se on there to return right away to keep promotion. I was charged 117$ in activation and taxes. The day I receive the phone I send in my old phone and return watch unopened. From DEC 28-Jan2 I'm charged $227 then Jan 3rd to Feb 2 $140 then next month 180. They finally agree to give me the series 9 watch for free but I call a few times every month about watch and I ask for a supervisor. I am denied. Instead I get tolds this will be the last time. I am being billed for the SE watch even though they received it back and for some reason no one can remove it, they can not explain how they came to the bill amount and tell me I'll get discounts on next bill. Anything to push it off.
The watch for for my daughter's bday on Jan 20th I got finally at the very end of Feb when they just gave me the 9 because the 30$ difference. They really tried not to have to pay even though I offered. On my bill it shows me being charged every month 33$ for the phone taking 11$ off for trade in. I am told this is the promo. When I ask how that falls under get an iPhone on us as advertised they can not answer.
Verizon did not say we will take your phone and pay you monthly for it because if that's the case they should have to follow the same guidelines. If the customer wants to pay something off there's interest charged along with an agreement. I told them to cancel the plan and give iphone 13 back. They said they can't because of the contract. I guess they don't know what a quasi contract is which this would fall under leaving me at 100% loss and them AT 100% gain unless willing to let me keep the new phone for free. All I'm asking is for them to keep to what THEY ARE ADVERTISING AND STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY HURTING....

Need paper copy of final bill and unable to receive. Yes, I understand I could’ve printed prior to closing account, but didn’t realize I needed it until later. Now advised can get copy mailed, but never came after 17 days. 2nd request today through customer service, but they will not help in any way to get a copy besides mail. If I don’t get will lose reimbursement for switching phone service. Had to switch for lower price thru another company. Fixed income and downgrading all my utilities due to increased overall prices. Sad they refuse to assist customers, especially us older ones with less experience with internet savvy.

So, On 02 Mar '24 I purchased a phone online; I paid the extra money for two day delivery. Between Verizon and UPS something went wrong, and after five days of drifting around, my phone was "returned" to Verizon's Fort Worth warehouse. I was never informed of this; Verizon's website shows my order status as "delivered." Well I spent 8.3 hours between online automated chat (which is totally worthless), online chat with a rep (pretty much totally worthless), and four different calls with reps. Two were worthless; one was dropped; one was helpful. And two trips to Verizon's local Hub store.
Verizon holds you hostage: 2-3 business days to evaluate the condition of the return? Why do I care? It was NEVER attempted to deliver. And then 7-10 business days to refund. So Verizon gets my money for two weeks. Good thing that I didn't need a phone, right? NEVER ORDER ONLINE WITH VERIZON. VERIZON BLOWS; THEY'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SUCK.

After a bad review from me to response to an internal review that sent out from the Verizon Wireless to the customers, I immediately received a letter from Verizon two weeks after my bad review to let me know the monthly premium will be raised almost $20 dollars per bill. I have no idea what is that all about, what does it cover? Why so much increased!!?? I got stuck with Verizon Wireless due to the new phone offered with monthly payment, and they are Verizon phone so they will be useless if I want to switch the phone company. I am sorry for the Verizon company, I used to trust the brand a lot, but they really disappointed their customers. No wonder it is going down the hill.

The deal was made on a recorded call that I pay $150.40 for an iPhone 13 now, and my monthly bill does not change. The $150 was NOT a down payment. They promised me on the recorded phone call that my monthly bill will stay the same. I paid the $150.40 and my monthly bill went up $15/month. That was not the deal. I called them and after being on the phone with a supervisor for almost 2 hrs, she said she would try her best and call me back in a day or two. So, we'll see. I just hate being lied to. And it doesn't matter the initial cost of the phone. What matters is the deal that was eventually made on the recorded phone call.

I got my granddaughter a free Verizon phone when we signed up for a plan. After a few months they charged me over 900.00 for the phone.

I am deeply infuriated at the appalling experience I had with Verizon. Not only did they scam me out of a substantial amount of money, totaling nearly $2000, but they also showed a complete lack of willingness to provide a satisfactory resolution. Beware of engaging with Verizon if you value honesty, fair treatment, and reasonable customer service. To provide some context, I had been a loyal Verizon customer for several years, entrusting them with my phone and internet services. However, I recently encountered a situation that exposed their true colors. Verizon made a grave mistake, and instead of taking responsibility and rectifying the issue promptly, they chose to further inconvenience me and penalize me for their own blunder.
When I realized the discrepancy in my bill, amounting to almost $2000, I immediately contacted Verizon's customer support. I expected them to acknowledge their error and swiftly refund the entire amount. Unfortunately, what followed was an agonizing back-and-forth that left me astounded by their lack of professionalism and integrity. Verizon only credited me $1200, ridiculously claiming that this was the "maximum compensation" I was entitled to. Excuse me? I was scammed out of $2000, and they are nonchalantly dismissing the rest? This is not only unacceptable but also highly deceptive on Verizon's part.
To add insult to injury, Verizon went so far as to suspend my services as punishment for their mistake. Instead of addressing their internal issues and focusing on assisting their customers, they decided to penalize me, causing further inconvenience and stress. Their actions showcase a complete disregard for basic fairness and customer-oriented practices. Worst of all, their customer service department has failed me miserably. The representatives I dealt with were unhelpful, unsympathetic, and seemingly untrained in handling such matters. They displayed a complete lack of empathy and refused to listen to my concerns, pushing blame onto me instead.
Verizon's arrogance and unwillingness to acknowledge their mistake is utterly disappointing. It is highly disheartening to witness such unethical behavior from a reputable telecommunications company. I implore anyone considering Verizon to be extremely cautious and consider alternative service providers who prioritize their customers and display transparency in their actions. In conclusion, Verizon's actions have left me feeling betrayed, frustrated, and cheated out of my hard-earned money. I strongly advise potential customers to steer clear of Verizon's dishonest practices and find a service provider that values integrity and treats their customers with respect.

I have been a long-term Verizon customer until today. They told me that they were giving me a thirty dollar a month credit each month on my bill because I was a long-term customer and I am disabled. And they don't offer internet in my area. I have to hotspot to my TV in order to watch it which is all I get to do now since I am disabled and confined to my home. My bill was supposed to be a straight $108.71/per month and they have their recording my call to back that up. But they went back up on my bill to $143 and my hotspot, for which is the only way I can watch TV. Reception sucks.
I told them that they were gonna keep pushing me and that. I would want to changing cell phone companies. Well, I finally did today. I went from Verizon to T-Mobile and I couldn't be happier. T-Mobile is giving me 150 GB for mobile hotspot. And not only that, my bill is a lot outperform everything that Verizon couldn't do. So I will not go back to Verizon at all period and I don't suggest anybody else stick with them either. They will try to snowball you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Went on Black Friday sale and they told me everything they wanted me to hear to sign me up..and when they say and show on tv any Apple or Samsung phones you can trade in any shape and any condition. It's a big lie. You have to ship them to Verizon and was told my phones was accepted for trade in..and they were fairly new..and when I shipped them, they sent a email saying they didn't and said they were only giving 5 dollars in trade..so now they phones I was promised were free after trade wasn't...and I was also told my monthly bill would be 230 a month..well that was a lie also..it's over 500 a month for 3 lines..I was only paying 140 a month for 4 phones with AT&T...so I'd stay away from Verizon and their deals..because all they will do is lie about it all.

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

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

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

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

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

My only minor complaint with T-Mobile would be the voice quality when making calls but honestly calls for me have become obsolete with everyone I know preferring texting instead so I really didn't care that much about that.
I recently decided to switch to Verizon since they offered a great promotion for a free iPhone 14 Pro with no trade in required. I brought a family member with me and was told our monthly bill would be $165 dollars which was very close to the previous T-Mobile statement. Well, not only is my bill way over that given estimate (it's 204 dollars a month for two lines) but the service on this phone is atrocious. It's just horrible. It takes me so much longer to browse the internet on my phone and it's constantly losing service.

You are horrible. I paid more to you for service that was not available than I did to AT&T for hook up and installment fees. All I wanted to do was separate accounts from my wife to my business. You reported my phone stolen and held me hostage to no service and no way to leave your business that was not even available.
I spent three to four days speaking to people on the phone, five hours each day, and you never resolved the issue. AT&T finally found a loophole to get me away from your tyranny. I am so disgusted. Your customer service was horrible and could barely speak English. They hung up on me and lied to me over and over about speaking to a manager. They never followed up with me and I paid 170$ for service I never received. My texts and calls never worked due to you and your incompetence. It is so wrong for you to steal money from people and not even care about customers who have been with you for twenty years. Well I paid your fees and it’s worth it to know I have a company who will assist me and have great customer service and better cell service than you.
Thanks for wasting my time and money and representing my own CPR business like crap due to your awful service and customer care. All I wanted was to move three lines over to a separate account and stay with you. Thank God I left because I’d rather know I can count on my phone and text carrier when my livelihood depends on it.

I've had service with Verizon for 2 months. Within this span, I have received 6 bills. The amounts are not the same nor are half of them correct, if there is such a thing.

Fraudulent representation of Verizon 5G home and wireless service. Was told coverage with 5G would be comparable to Comcast and AT&T Wireless but coverage is very poor, incompetent customer service even at corporate store. Avoid this company - switched back to AT&T within two weeks. Did not give a no risk 30 day trial as I was charged multiple activation fees and exorbitant service fee for two weeks of coverage.

IF I COULD RATE VERIZON PREPAID SERVICES A BIG FAT ZERO WITH THE RIM KICKED OFF, I WOULD DO IT IN A NANO SECOND... - I am from a rural area and have difficulty finding decent service. Verizon was the best, I was told. Our community is so tiny that I would have to drive a few hours to travel to a Verizon center. By the time I get off work, they will be closed. I opted to order through sales via chat. I told them the phone, the pre-paid plan I wanted, etc. It took me over two-plus hours as I was constantly passed from Prepaid Sales to Post Pay Sales Department because someone severely messed something up. I finally called from my husband's phone and got a salesperson who easily walked me through it. I paid for everything.
Then I noticed this was the beginning of all MOTHER LOAD OF NIGHTMARES! My bank was showing I paid for two phones in pending, and when I called them, they told me not to worry. I only ordered one phone. I would have my phone next business day before 8 PM. Next Day - My phone did not show up. I called and am now being transferred to the fraud department because I did not provide my driver's license. AGAIN, this is PREPAID, NO CONTRACT! That is not even required or asked for, and the lady from Fraud was also puzzled why my account was placed in fraud status, and she also approved my request to purchase. I was then given my tracking number. It showed shipped.
Next morning I receive an email from Verizon stating my order was not placed and cancelled and had to start over and they did not charge my account though it was still pending two different times in my banking account. Now, I am to wait for up to several business days as they have all of my funds held up in a pending status. So, I had to call my bank to cancel it since they cannot do their job at any given level. Worst cell phone experience EVER. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND VERIZON WIRELESS!

Chat with customer service online, get a different story each time we chat them. Went to the store and was told if we came in could get an I Phone 15 for free, scheduled the appt, got there and oh wow the promotion ended at 00:01 that day, how interesting, then they wanted us to buy the IPhone 15 which our bill was already almost $200 for 3 lines. When we added a line back in November, they put two dumby numbers on our account, so we could get the so called phone free, well we were paying for two extra lines.
Went to the store and because I raised my voice they wanted to call the police. I have paid off all devices and we are now officially done with Verizon. NEVER to return ever.

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

We created an account using their online chat to start up service since the deal was only available online. We ordered 4 iPhones that were supposed to be free. Wound up paying for each monthly because we chose higher memory phones which is fine since it was to only be 8 bucks a phone. Was told 2 day shipping on all devices. After all was said and done we got an email confirming 2 day shipping on 2 phones only. Then the next day we got an email saying 2 day shipping on 1 more phone but the 4th was not going to be shipped til Feb 9th! That’s more than a month past what we were told. I called next business day and sat on the phone over 2 hours all to be told it was rectified and we would have a phone in 2 days.
Here we are 10 days later and I am still missing a phone and yet they are billing me and sending reminders I owe them money for a bill when we don’t even have all our equipment. We already paid associated taxes and fees, I’ve spent more than 4 hours on the phone with reps and still missing our equipment. Worse decision ever to move to the so called best network nationwide.

I called in multiple times explaining my issues and asked for this to be documented, never once was I instructed to bring it in. I was never told I had to come in within 30 days or I would only be offered a refurbished phone. After the 30 days passed, I was told to bring it in and they would give me a new phone, I brought it in, then was told it was going to be a "certified like new" replacement (in lieu of the brand new phone that I just agreed to pay for). I have spent hours talking with different people who lied and promised they were going to get this rectified and I would receive a brand new replacement and then lied to again and again.
We've been faithful customers for probably 20 years and this is how we're treated. The $440 trade in credit they gave me...I have to pay on my phone for 3 years to receive the full $440 trade in.

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

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

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

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

I had been with ATT for many years (over 10 years) and the service in my home area was poor. Verizon advertised $25 a line which was the same price as ATT was charging and Verizon offered a free Iphone with Iphone trade in. The sales agent at Costco was confused and had a very difficult time (over an hour) to get the change set up. When the bills came they had the wrong address, one of the phones was the wrong phone color, and the price was MULTIPLES of the promised price...Calls to customer service were of little help. Clearly the salespeople are paid to get people to switch and they lie repeatedly to get new accounts--It is a poor reflection on Costco to allow this practice in their stores.
The reality is that what they tell you is not true, and once they have allowed the 30 day period to pass they send you a bill for $425 for 3 phones---Wait half an hour to get an agent to talk with and they talk in circles--When you say why should I pay $65 a month per line for 3 lines when you offered me $25 a line when I signed up--well, the $25 is only for 4 lines or more--Fine--Add a fourth line since 4 times $25 is still less than 3 time $65---Well--More smoke and mirrors, because the rebates for switching change---It is a total scam and I plan to let everyone know. Might be a good idea to sue in conciliation court just to force them to bring a lawyer to stand before a judge and try to give the judge all the double talk... NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH VERIZON AGAIN.

I finally received the email with the link for the Amazon gift card.
Original Review: Dec. 27, 2023
I was promised a free $200.00 gift card if I sign up for the 5G Internet service. So I signed up for the 5G service, and I waited a couple of weeks, then I contacted Verizon. Supposedly they said I would receive an email with the instructions on how to claim the Gift card. The first time I tried to step through the steps it would not work. So then I tried again the following day and I was able to CLAIM the offer to receive the card. It stated I would receive an email with all of the information about the Card! Lies. Nothing but lies! I never received the email! So then I called support and I was told I would receive the card in the Mail 4 to 6 weeks. I told them don't even bother!

I have been with Verizon Wireless since about 2004. When I started with Verizon, they were the best. I cannot say that now. I started a business 6 years ago and now have about 20 lines with them. Customer service has become a nightmare. Things went really bad when I added 6 new lines and was talked into free/no device payment phones. These phones are the worst. After a couple of updates, they have no memory. After taking a couple of photos they have no memory and can't even make a phone call. When I started complaint about this, I was locked out of my online account. I have been locked out for 4 months now. I can't even see my bill or pay my bill online. It is difficult to even pay this bill on the phone. I do not know what happened to the Verizon Wireless that I started with, but I do not feel that they care about their customers anymore. I am looking for a new provider.

Spent 10 hours with 8 different visits only to get mislead about autopay discount, friend referral discount, no-annual fee CC, $800 gift cards, trade in of $1,000 per line. None of which happened. After 10 days of no service bill is $222. I have spent $1,000 so far for no data (no service at my house). Ignored and overcharged. Customer service simply hangs up.

Worst customer service from the district mgr, Rachelle, in Bartlesville, OK. She was one of the most unprofessional people I have dealt with. Her former sales team member said I was unable to use a new USB cable without a new wall hub. This sales person said if not needed I could return/replace anytime. I brought back to the store, spoke with the store manager (after she finished up on a "call with her sister"). She immediately said that I could not return or exchange as it was past the 30 day policy. I said we can discuss this, but I want to troubleshoot what the issue is, as I just opened this new wall hub, as my other wall hub worked just fine until it broke a few days ago.
The store mgr focused on no return no replacement conversation, which I disagreed with. I am not responsible for their team member not being trained properly. I said then I will need to talk with her mgr - she called her right away and I said we can troubleshoot 1st before calling. The regional mgr - Rachelle - was very rude immediately - didn't care what I was at the store for - didn't allow me to share with her why I wanted to chat with her - she was combative right front the start of our call - the store mgr had me on speaker and I said to the unprofessional district mgr, Rachelle, that we should end our call as she was on speaker and other customers in her store were able to listen to her unprofessional behavior. Which prompted her to tell me to leave her store.
After the call ended, the store mgr stated that the salesperson that sold me these items were no longer with the store and that they have been "putting out fire after fire" and "are not honoring any returns/exchanges as he was selling items to customers that they did not need." I have 9 phones with Verizon and have NO problem canceling. Who needs to be treated with such disrespect from Verizon. This conversation was recorded on my phone, which will be shared with Corporate. We shall see if Rachelle is held accountable for her unprofessional behavior to a loyal customer. Side note: AT&T is contracted with Cherokee Nation who offers a $75.00 monthly credit towards your cell bill. This would be helpful to many folks!

I am livid. Merry Christmas from Verizon - I have been a Verizon home and cellphone customer for over 29 years, and I have never missed a payment. My bank card was recently hacked and I am waiting for a replacement card. My Verizon bill was 12 days overdue, one month's bill only, $120, and I woke up this Christmas morning with no phone service.

No. If this is how Verizon treats their long time loyal customers, then I am looking elsewhere for phone service.

I called to inquire about a jump drive. The lovely sales agent told me that they no longer carry jump drives and told me with their current holiday sales I could get a brand new iPhone, an iPad, and an Iwatch for the same cost as jump drive. “Only $10 more per item.” I recorded it. I explained that I needed a cloth wristband due to an allergy and that I wanted the iPhone that had the ECG capability. “No problem.” Again, this was all recorded.
As soon as I hung up, I got a email stating that my next bill would be $365 and the one after that would be 270 when all I was supposed to be paying was 95 for all of these products. I immediately called customer service and said that I didn’t want them, to cancel them. The lady I spoke to in Manila or as she says, “Texas,” was named Shane. Let’s get this resolved on Monday. When your sales representative is back in the office, she then scheduled a call with me. Call never happened.
Again on the record recorded call I asked her to ship me the return labels. After waiting 10 days those didn’t show up. Then I received the iPhone, it does not have a cloth wristband. It does not have the ECG capabilities and despite being reported as free, only $10 a month I receive a bill for $289. So I decided that I’m going to take the products back to the corporate store where some very lovely people in Saginaw Michigan help me and explain that they have to charge your restocking fee which I disputed because my sales representative told me that it’s fully refundable. So I pitch a complete fit after messing with all of this for over two weeks I stormed out of the store.
I called another friendly sales associate in “Texas” who informed me that they will reverse the restocking fee. This time I demanded a text, confirming my understanding of the conversation. It’s so odd, through a Christmas miracle this time they could send a text, but my lovely sales rep name Shane couldn’t, they didn’t have that capability. So what have we learned, Verizon lies. Look at their consumer affairs reviews. 85% rate them out of one. Do not purchase online, go to the stores.

After struggling with signal for over 2yrs, we decided to move to Tmobile. I had 4 lines, and moved 3 of those, but one decided to stay to keep Disney+. I called to make sure nothing was going to change in the monthly payment for that one line that was gonna stay and they say everything was going to stay the same. I MADE the payment for all the lines while on the phone with them because I did not want to have any surprises from Verizon, I asked whoever was helping MANY TIMES that our payment for that ONE line was gonna stay the same and that after that $404 payment from Nov, all I was gonna have for next month (December) was going to be that one line $96. They confirmed that was all I was gonna have. Now we get an email saying we have to pay $222 for the month of December. Note that when I made that last payment, I paid off my phone and the tablet.
My brother was in my plan and I made a new account with Verizon for him WITH HIS INFORMATION. He still owns his phone, but T-Mobile will pay off that phone, and since Verizon was planning on charging the remaining balance plus the line that was gonna stay in Verizon, I decided to make a new account for my brother that way if anything, he was going to be responsible for HIS PHONE. Tell me how they are still trying to charge a whole different account for his phone. Not just that, but even though I confirmed that the monthly payment for the person who sadly decided to stay with Verizon, was gonna be the same, now they are saying that the payment changed from $95 to $120. And the cellphone is not even a new cellphone, but they are trying to charge that line like is a new phone.
The fact that they just change things without talking to the customer first is just ridiculous. And then you call customer service and they kept repeating whatever they see in the system, saying they "understand you", but trying to explain how they are in the right for trying to charge extra without telling you. I will go ahead and move that last line to Tmobile and I hope more people do the same cause their signal is not even good for the amount they charging and customer service is horrible. I still went to their store first before going to Tmobile wanting to upgrade my phone and instead of give me options, the first thing they did was telling me "you have to pay $75 first" and stared at me. Well, I went across the street and moved all my lines. Now I pay $120 for a NEW PHONE, I have good signal EVERYWHERE, a watch and good customer service. Never again, Verizon.

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

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

I recorded my phone call with them luckily and they admitted to it being an error. Then the second call to them they said basically, “we don’t know why they said it was an error” and they lost record of the rep who opted me in for the international plan. I’ve been a loyal 12 year customer of theirs and never late on a bill and they treat me like crap. They said they could waive $500 from the bill and put me on a payment plan for the rest.

I tried accessing a product page 3 different ways on Android, and on computer with 2 different browsers and 2 on different networks, and I chatted with tech support multiple times, and nobody is able to help me.

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

After 2 weeks of attempting to make a phone (Sonim X10) that seems to be a better option (and Verizon DESPISES quality phones) and after more hours translating Hindi on the phone than I care to ever have again, (and a long useless visit to a store) we went from no text messages being able to be received (happens with every new phone I get) and no visual voice mail (has not worked right for over a year anyways) to a nuked phone, they tell me it's not a compatible phone even though they sold it, and shipped it to me. Of course they cannot even find the order due to being ordered by a business rep. Even the box says Verizon. So now I get to go stand in the ridiculous long lines at a corporate store today in the middle of a work day to return it and order another mediocre Samsung X Cover. Now it takes weeks just to get a phone to work on top of everything else? GO T MOBILE!

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

They make it impossible for you to talk to an actual human. This greedy company is horrible. I would never do business with them. I hope they lose lots of money. They are so greedy and all they want to do is take all your money.

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

So end of November 2023, I visited a Verizon store and asked for a new screen protector for my 6 month old s23 ultra. $69+tax. Amazon has one for $13.99 + tax. When I asked if they were serious for the $69 price, she said, "You get a lifetime warranty." Is this really what it's come down to. The car chargers were insanely priced high also! Double +.

I'm a 8-year customer with Verizon, have always had good service until now. I have contacted multiple people at Verizon and been to their store as well to try to get the service issues resolved with my phone, replaced Sim cards, tried all the troubleshooting procedures, nothing fixed my services. So I'm left without a phone to use because they voided my warranty because there is a small chip in the screen of my phone. Been dealing with this issue for days. So I'm trying to work without having a phone.

I purchased a new iPhone on promotion of free Iphone with trade in. Not only did I not get the promotion I was threatened several times that my business account would be disconnected if I did not pay in full for the 1200$ iPhone. I was on the phone with the business customer service over 6 times for over 8 hours on the phone. I was promised several different things that NEVER HAPPENED!!! I asked to speak to a supervisor. I NEVER spoke to a supervisor even though I was promised a call back from one 4 times. My point is that their customer service is not what it used to be. It is a waste of the customers' time and energy. They never honored their promotion or any of the promises they made to me on the phone. I was transferred to several different departments for NO SOLUTION.

I live in a rural area with limited internet access. I do however live right next to a cell tower. I was sold a Verizon Mifi as a “great solution”. Shame on me! I’ve been trying to get it to work for years now and Verizon has almost zero customer service presence. If you have issues, plan to spend hours on the phone getting bounced around before eventually being placed on infinite hold. Once Verizon has you under contract you mean nothing to them. I spent 3hrs yesterday and all that happened was for Verizon to add a protection plan I explicitly declined. It took another hour to get that fixed. I asked to speak to a manager and was first denied then told that they didn’t have one. Verizon is a joke.

On Nov. 17, 2023 I placed an order for an iPhone 15 Pro and it was shipped with UPS. Once I realized UPS delivered the product to the wrong place I immediately contacted UPS and Verizon Wireless to submit a claim. The first representative I spoke to told me that I will receive a replacement device ASAP (within 24 hours) and provided me with a verizon ticket # (**). When I called VW back the next day to receive an update the second individual told me that the issue would be resolved in the back office and that everything should be resolved with 48 business hours. However, I couldn't wait 48 hours so I went into a verizon wireless store to see if I can purchase the device in person while they were doing their investigation on the backend but was told by the store that my account was on hold by the fraud department.
I asked to speak with the fraud department and they told me that I was unable to purchase any new devices under an installment agreement because my account was just recently opened up in August of this year. However I tried to explain to the representative that her information was incorrect because I had been a customer of Verizon wireless since February of 2023. However the fraud representative was not budging. So I then called the verizon wireless customer care department for business and spoke to a 3rd representative who told me that she was able to allow me to purchase the device in the store by first cancelling the lost order and then activating the missing device but after she did all that she informed me that I would have to put a $500 down payment for a new device.
When I asked her the reason she informed me that it was only due to the recently cancelled order but after 48 hours I should be able to have the option to repurchase the device with zero to fairly low money down. After the time period had passed the system still wanted me to place a down payment so I called Verizon wireless back up on 11/24/2023 and the fourth representative told me that I had to wait for 6-7 business days for the investigation to be resolved by the back office team. At this point I am tired and fed up with Verizon wireless for all the excuses and inconsistencies especially since I have been with the company for almost a year now.

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

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