This company is nothing but a corporation of Gangsters! I switched to T Mobile and Verizon sent my final bill to collections even before bill was due!!?? I tried to quit Verizon for 2 months and they systematically ignored my requests. Surely this is illegal!?

I've been a Verizon customer for many years now. The customer service in this company is the absolutely worst I have ever experienced. They have messed up my account in so many ways and still cannot believe some of the mistakes sales and customer associates have made. They have upgraded my line now on two occasions without my approval. I called in and had issues regarding international calling and instead of helping me solve a specific issue, I ended up with a $300 bill because of an upgrade they made. It took me over 4 hours of chat and phone calls to resolve this. When we took my previous partner's phone off the account as he moved to ATT they would still send him letters and information about my account.
They never communicated a $30 charge to him and it went to collections without knowing ruining his credit. All they do when you need help is transfer you, regardless if you are needing help with billing, your account, payments, upgrades. I've been trying to upgrade my phone for over a week with no luck, I've legit never experienced such terrible customer service in my life. I'm trying to pay $1500 for a new device and no-one is there to help. I've tried getting help over the phone and chatting, and just keep being transferred somewhere else. I've been with AT&T in the past which was not great but still so much better than Verizon.

We were getting prepared to take our Family on its 1st cruise and was unsure what to do about cell service/internet service for our company. We could get the cruise ships pkg for 300 and be fully covered - But - we called Verizon and asked the rep if we would be better off with something they had to offer and the rep told us she could put us on a Travel Pass that was totally unlimited and we wouldn't have NO EXTRA CHARGES for 10 per phone per day. We specifically asked if the kids could watch videos etc. and she said, "YES. NOTHING YOU DO WILL BE EXTRA".... We received a bill for 18,469 - we called in explaining what THEIR rep told us but they keep saying there is nothing we can do.
We have been with them for 15 years always paid 4-5 hundred per month but that doesn't matter - So now our good credit score we have worked so very hard for so we could buy a home is going to be ruined and we won't be able to buy a house... THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY TELL YOU ON THE PHONE ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS $$$$ - Now they are losing a 15 year customer and trashing our credit because of their own reps misguided information - my husband blood pressure is so high he can't sleep or eat - this bill is impossible for us to pay and had we known we would have just gotten the ships wifi for 300.
We even called Verizon again from on the boat because the service wasn't working and she stepped us thru the proper settings on our phones - never stating we shouldn't be using our phones on the boat - only while on the island (what world would you only want service while on the island being a business owner??? Well our dreams of owning our home is gone and so is our relationship with verizon. They don't care about their customers!!!! TRAIN YOUR REPS BETTER SO THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT OUT LYING!!!!

For several years I have had a (home) business account and kept asking if it would be more economical to change to a consumer account, to be told no. I Just switched to T-Mobile and will be paying half the price. I have paid over $3000 excess over the past two years. It is impossible to ever speak to a human being to resolve issues. I have been trying to use a e-gift card to make a payment and the system will not accept the full PIN before bumping me. I have spent hours trying to resolve several account/billing issues without success. Stay away from this company.

As a business account holder, I am very unhappy with the experience I just had. I spoke to 4 different agent re: upgrading my phone and received 4 contradictory responses. The first agent helped me for 45 minutes and we got disconnected at the end, and she never called back causing me to have to call again. I was promised a senior member would call me within 20 minutes and I’m still waiting. This is a very unsatisfactory way to manage a business account! Very poor experience

Verizon Wireless is just a bad product, I have had absolutely NO good experiences with Verizon. Their customer service is abysmal. They have terrible coverage and even when you do get coverage it’s not good. I’ve had multiple instances where I have had 3 bars or even more commonly 2 bars and haven’t even been able to send a text.

I was told the bill would be around 160 for 3 lines - ordered 3 phones online at that time. 1 was delayed over a month so we got charged the higher cost of 80 each for 2 lines waiting on the third phone which we were never informed of. Were using a student discount and when the third phone came we lost this discount and were never told it can only apply to two phones and would disappear when a third was added. Was denied military discount for a military widow.
Cancelled the service and sent back the new phones within 2 weeks- it was too late for the first 2 to get back our trade ins and we were told an iphone 7 was worth 400 and an iphone 11 pro max 256 was worth 800 - we are going to receive only 39$ for the iphone 7 and 387$ for the iphone 11 (market value we were NEVER informed of - we were told we would be credited the amounts) and we cancelled. Spent over 20 hours on the phone with customer service because of port in issues, service issues (1 bar constantly), billing issues, etc.. Then we are told we owe 400$ for a final (SINGLE) bill for taxes on the new phones we used for 2 single weeks and sent back - they are using our trade ins to cover that so we get literally NOTHING and Verizon keeps the phones?? Absolutely disgusting. No transparency. They are thieves and liars. STAY AWAY.

Verizon wireless never mailed me the cell phones I paid for in advance, and after inquiring why, I was told the phones were on backorder, and then I was told another time the phones were "lost or stolen". During this time, Verizon then billed me for 2 months worth of service, for phones I never received. I closed the account due to services not being rendered, but they kept calling me. I called several times to dispute the charges and was told they would correct the error. They just called back today asking for payment. Not cool - feeling badgered. At this point, I don't ever want to hear from Verizon again.

I put in an order for a phone. Verizon took my credit card and charged me. Verizon Wireless promised to have it delivered the next day. The first Verizon person put in the order offline but clearly it didn't go thru. The second Verizon person couldn't find the order, even though I gave them the order number. The 3rd Verizon person was disconnected (I assume due to Verizon's poor network quality). The 4th person is telling me to wait 24 hours, even though I've explained the order was to be shipped the next day. Verizon didn't care. I'm amazed at how poor the service is. I spend close to $1,000 per month with Verizon (cell service and home network) and I feel like I get worse service than with any other carrier.

I'm a business with 20 phones on our account. I've been with Sprint for 8 plus years which is now T Mobile. I went to the T mobile experience and it is awful also and now went to Verizon since Sprint is going away. I live 30 mins from work and Verizon service at my home and work and almost everywhere I go is the worst I've experienced. If you looking for good service coverage don't choose Verizon in Colorado Springs, CO.

I called customer service to get signed-up for the bring-your-phone deal. The rep did not explain that my phone has to be fully paid off before I can bring it to VZW. After my account was set up and I plugged in the sim cards in to my phone, it did not seem to activate so I called VZW support. The support associate told me that the phone needs to be full paid off, I explained to her that the previous associate did not explain that to me. I told her to cancel everything and so she did. For 3 weeks I got multiple bills for 140 - 200 dollars and finally a bill for $15.00 which I should not be owing because I absolutely did not use their service. Literally the account was set up and deleted/disconnected.
After getting that $15 bill I called customer service, every time I go through the prompts my phone gets disconnected by the automated system automatically, when I tried to chat online it asked me to sign-in, when I did so it said my account could not be found. I selected VZW to call me, it calls me back with the same prompts and disconnects my line. Basically if your line gets disconnected you won't be able to talk to anyone at VZW about your account either online via chat or over a call. I am absolutely shocked that a company of this size can do that to customers, now that I am stuck with $15 bill and due date a week away, funny thing is they have a separate site set up for disconnected lines where you can type the account number and other details and pay for your disconnected account.
The chat feature on the disconnected portal asks you to sign in if you want to chat with a rep and when you do sign-in it says your account cannot be found. I went on and paid for it because I did not want to ruin my credit. Basically paid $15 for using nothing. I will make sure I share my experience with every person I meet and will try to post this same review on as many sites as I can to create awareness. Customers should not be cheated and put through these situations by large corporations. What a disgraceful company and I feel sorry for other people who have ended up going through this and giving up at the end and just paying the money.

Call block feature, from a technical standpoint, is extremely easy to implement and should not in any way be something that is only applied to certain plans. It is a basic function of a phone to be able to block spam calls, which are endless in our current age of spambots and phish calls. Previous to 2013 Verizon offered call blocking through MyVerizon app which came on all devices, non-smartphones, prepaid and paid plans, and call blocking could be setup just by calling support and requesting a certain number be blocked.
Now, you cannot block any number on a prepaid plan. They will give you an option to restrict your phone so that only those in your contact list can call you, which is a functionally broken workaround that essentially no one could make use of. This was done only to force those on prepaid plans to spend more money and is a blatant ripoff. Disgusting company practices showing 0 long term reliability or concern for consumer rights.

I have wasted so much of my time for two months now trying to cancel insurance. Verizon's reps are so very unprofessional and will just end a chat when they are done talking to you. When I talk to someone they assure me that the rep could have taken care of my issue but they assure me that my issue has been resolved and my bill credited but every month there is the charge. So I continue the same song and dance with the next rep. Save your money. Until Verizon can get better customer service reps in the chat area. I have saved all of my chats and can show all the proof. These reps will not even answer your questions directly.

I got a text from a number that wasn't a phone number giving me a code to authenticate something. I have no idea what it was for. Then I got a text from Verizon saying a code was used to access my account, and if I didn't recognize the activity to call a number. I know the second was VZW because it appeared in the chain from my support call days earlier. I call the number and it says they are closed, try the online chat. The online chat was supposed to be live, but it was obviously not. It kept saying things like "That's frustrating" or other platitudes that did not make sense as a response to what I said. Finally it offered some prompts. When I selected one by tapping it on the screen, it responds with "I'm sorry, I didn't get that" and repeated the prompts.
Eventually a live rep came on and everything they typed double posted and was filled with typos. This person essentially said I was lying and that I had received no such texts. They responded to everything with "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" but never once offered any help. I guess I will call again tomorrow, and I expect it'll cost me another unfruitful hour+. Not to mention I've been waiting for 3 days for a call back about that "previous issue" I mentioned. When the chat was over I kept it open on my phone so I can have it to show how bad it was. Surprise, when the rep closed the chat I got booted to a Google.com page. Can't let customers have a record of that awesome online chat support...
Just getting in touch with customer service is a pain. They keep trying to drive you to their online chat, which either refuses to authenticate or disconnects as soon as the rep realizes they can't help you. If you do get connected to the chat, it takes forever to type back and forth with the rep who only responds once every few minutes and doesn't have the ability, knowledge, or desire to help.
Phone help is no better. There is a 5 minute recording telling you to use the online chat and boasting about how great their services are. Then another 15 minutes navigating a menu that simply does not have options that match the issue. Then it hangs up on you or (if you win the automated system puzzle) says it will get a live agent, which is what I asked for 20 minutes prior. Another recording, this time telling me to let them call me back. (They don't, it's a trick.) Then a 20+ minute hold to talk to someone who will apologize a lot but won't have any idea how to help.
The worst part is all the irrelevant excuses they try to shovel off on you. They will assume you know nothing about the tech and will try to pass off utter nonsense. When it becomes obvious that you know more than they do, the call "disconnects" or they say something like, "I'll get an engineer to call you back." My favorite was when they said "Let's get Samsung support on the line and they can help." I told them exactly what Samsung would say- "it's a Verizon app, installed on a Verizon phone, by Verizon, and that only Verizon can handle it." The Samsung rep indeed said exactly that, and asked the Verizon rep if that sounded right. She was speechless to the point that the Samsung rep had to ask several times if she was still on the line.
Short version- Customer service is difficult to contact and lacks competence regarding the products and services offered by Verizon. Their "tech support" has no actual technical knowledge and will lie to you about the way computers work because they think you don't know any better. Every call is a prayer to get connected to the 1% of their employees who know what they are doing.

Ask for written confirmation for anything Verizon customer service claims to do for you. In my case; they "helped" me close my account but left a $35 dollar bill open and never told me about it. Verizon then ruined my credit score to collect that bill. Decreasing my credit score by 150 points. I am applying for a home loan but no longer qualify for a low interest rate. Meaning that Verizon's mistake will cost me about $30,000 over my 30-year mortgage.
In detail: A Verizon employee "helped" me close an account but left a $35 bill open. The Verizon system did not tell me about it because the account was supposedly closed. The system automatically sold that debt to a collector. The debt collector destroyed my credit score, dropping it by 150 points. Verizon customer service customer sent me a note admitting their clerical mistake but could do nothing to help me fix my credit score.

I had trouble with my phone, and also logging into my account. Their system is bizarre - to log in, you need to get a text. But to get a text, your text needs to work. So, much time lost there. I tried their online support - half an hour and all they had done by that time was get me verified. I tried calling - one hour to get me in, and I got assigned a password I will never remember, but their system would not let me enter one in that would work for me. Much time and energy lost, more stress, and this could/should all be easier.

I’ve been with this company for 20+yrs. It used to be the best. Now it is the worst: Customer service is difficult to access and once you reach a representative they are inexcusably unprepared to deal with any number of issues at hand. Most the time I can’t even open up the app to pay my bill. I generally like to pay my bill in advance. There is a marked Decrease in connectivity during the daytime… So much so that I cannot use my phone for business. It’s worthless. Images don’t go through, emails don’t go through, text don’t go through. I’m basically paying for service but only getting that service approximately 15% of the day and I’m using my phone.
This company should be sued for neglect extorting money from its customers. It seems the company has gone down the toilet since Hans Vestberg entered the picture~ The quality of service And customer care from this company within the last year has become so terrible I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody and I’m researching other providers to go to. Verizon has become a total waste of money and time especially if you use this service for a business. Worthless.

I signed up for a family plan of 6 lines -and was told with tax and all would be around $48.95 per line (a little short of $300.00 in total). 1st bill $798.15, 2nd bill $412.36 3rd bill $464.04.. (bad thing is we cancelled from Tmobile and paid an early cancellation fee of $120 per line to go to Verizon,) Needless to say tmobile is buying out contracts up to $1000 so I plan to terminate my contract with verizon soon. Not to mention my son had better service with tmobile than he does now, he can't even use his verizon phone in his own house now. I have contacted Verizon for many months now trying to get this issue corrected but have been given the run around. They keep saying it's because of my credits haven't been applied yet, how freaking long should that take?
So my 4th bill I found I didn't owe anything on but look how much extra I've paid and by what I was told in the beginning I should still have about an additional $795 credit but it appears I only have a remaining $120 credit. What put me over the top is I opened an email this morning that said your device promotional credit has been removed on my account because not meeting at least one qualifying criteria. Whatever the hell that means. You can't talk to anyone but representatives who do nothing and even when you talk to a manager they did not get anything resolved for me. I even emailed 2 top executives there - Nancy Clark and Ronan Dunne (from what I understand ceo and president) and they did not even have the courtesy to respond. That's really great customer service verizon! You can count me as one of your previous customers very soon.

Verizon commercials say, "Get a 5G phone on us when you return your old phone." When I went online to get the offer, my old phone was not listed for trade in. I got on chat with Verizon CS.

I then tried chatting with customer service with Kendall. She could/would not assist with my problem. It seemed that she did not have very good training. The pauses in service were very long and I had to keep asking if she was still there. It became clear that she was not going to resolve my problem. I then asked to be transferred to a supervisor. She kept me on hold for another 20 minutes. When I asked what was going on she told me the the supervisors were busy helping other people.

Never ever do business with Verizon prepaid. I cancelled my service with this company after 12 years of service. I was unable to use their service due to issues with Verizon's lack of cell towers. Nationwide network is a lie. Before I cancelled my service a representative claimed she was refunding my money. Of course that never happened. I paid for my service ahead of time. I had someone on the line who witnessed her saying she was refunding the prepayment that was not even due for a couple of weeks. Verizon service is a lie along with stealing and keeping money that they were not entitled to keep. I plan to sue them for my money back.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER AND MOST OF THE AGENTS ARE INCOMPETENT.! I ordered IPhone 13 on October 8th, the agent who processed the order really screw the entire Oder up but I didn’t know that at the time. Then a week later I get an email stating that my order was canceled. I called again and this agent told me that it was the trade in that was canceled so I was on the phone with her for 4hrs. So on October 19th I called to check where my order was and I was told that my order was backed up and that it would arrive by the 22th.
Now I wasn’t the only one who ordered this phone in my household, there were 5 more and all of the phones were received by now. So I called on the 29th and I was told again that the order was backed up. Now I checked my account and it didn’t show my phone order, I checked my credit card statement and nothing was deducted. I did questioned this but I was told that sometimes you can’t see the order on your account and that the money would be deducted when the phone is shipped out. Now I told this dumb dumb that I was at work and I wanted a schedule call with The supervisor but nothing, I didn’t get crap. Most of these agents want to get rid of you soo they’ll tell you what you want to hear.
Finally I called on November 1st, this agent told me that my order was canceled by the system whatever the heck that means. So after all talking to all these ** agents on planet earth, finally I was given accurate information. I was on the phone with them for 3.5hrs. When I request the supervisor all he wanted to do was to get rid of me and was giving me attitude and rushing me. I was furious and I’m not this type of person who gets upset easily.
The lack of communication, misinformation, the bad attitude, and overall incompetent agents was the result of my anger. I wanted to cry that’s how angry I felt. I wanted to cut my service with them but I have other members on the account so I couldn’t. I was so so upset and as I said I NEVER EVER get this upset. Verizon really is terrible and all they are about is sucking money out of their customers while their service is **! I’m moving to at&t after my contract is done. I know me leaving won’t make a difference on their business but they have no loyalty or any accommodations toward the hassle they cause.

I previously had the same number for cell phone service for 20+ years with T Mobile. Made a switch to Verizon thinking that it would be cheaper. I got a verizon phone that comes with contract. I get ZERO service to one bar where I live. In a rural neighborhood. Less than 10 minute walk to the high school and elementary school. 15 minutes from downtown. Someone can call me and it will ring. I can have 1 to 2 bars and can not put out a phone call!!!
Just now I have 4 bars sitting near on Airport Blvd in Mobile, Alabama. I tried to call a local number and it says check data connection. Repeatedly press to call the number and says check data connection. I have 4 bars!!! The 5G is a JOKE!!! IF ANYTHING IT IS SLOWER!!! I hear all this huge hype over 5g. Get a brand new phone and it's worse than ever!!! Now if someone calls me I can answer it but them hearing them them on the other hand clearly is a unlikely gamble. I have data roaming on. I have service. The signal does not disappear when I hit the call button. I'm looking at it and still popping up. I have no data connection. Check it.
I had an law enforcement emergency and could not even place the call!!! My mom's phone is bundled with mine. Same plan, same account, same phone and we can not even call each other!! The phone btw VELVET is equally just as horrible!!! It has messed up all my password and accounts. I ended a 20 year relationship with a good company for this outrageousness. I'm going to try and beg to be taken back. **fingers crossed**

I've been with Verizon for at least a decade now and finally had a problem that they won't resolve. I had no idea how bad this customer service was until I had an issue to get resolved. 1 hour hold times and bounced around to different reps with even more hold times. Several reps would sit on the line with dead air for 15 min at a time not saying anything and I would say what is the status of fixing the issue and they would start typing again all of a sudden like they either fell asleep or waiting me out to see if I would just give up and hang up.
This happened with two reps in particular and I was on the phone with each of them for an hour asking for a supervisor. Asking for a supervisor gets you nowhere, there is never one available according to the reps. I.e. in a meeting, leaving for a Dr appt (that was the best one), gone for the day, I was also told, "A manager will call you back but to allow him until 5 pm and then call back," I asked what the manager's hours were, the rep said "8am -5pm" so that was rich, tell me to call back for the manager AFTER he's gonna be gone for the day. This is so ridiculous! I have to leave them. I can't see paying them money and they treat people that badly.

Recently, I've had so many bad experiences with this company. There was one call that I raised my voice and got frustrated with how the agent was treating me with her poor attitude towards customer satisfaction. Verizon sent me a letter threatening to shut my service off claiming my "recorded call" was abusive. They still failed to resolve any of the many issues that have occurred with the account and are deflecting any responsibility for their incompetence. Complaints have been filed with the PA Attorney General's Office, the FCC, the Better Business Bureau, now Consumer Affairs and others.
If anyone is looking to go to this company, you really should not. I'd pull all your investment stock as well. I have a strong feeling the company is losing its credibility that it once had. This could be because they are completely untrustworthy given the recent revelations behind illegitimately charging customers hidden fees and trying to cover up their behavior. Apparently, they think it is acceptable to blame customers for getting frustrated with Verizon doing a poor quality-less job and then prefer to threaten to cancel service.
Heaven forbid you tell the Agent that if they cannot handle being in Customer Service, they shouldn't have taken that position if they did not want to deal with Customers getting frustrated. Verizon claims that is "abusive". I call it human nature. Verizon should put a heavier expectation throughout their organization, because we all pay them for the service. We do not pay them to threaten Consumers just because they do not like when Consumers will not tolerate their sneaky agendas.

I switched to Verizon under promotions bring your own device with promise of reward of 500$. Even after fulfilling all the condition they did not give reward. Upon reaching out to customer care (it takes anywhere between 30-60 mins to wait times) on chat and phone they kept promising fixing the issues and blatantly lie. Refuse to take complaints. They don't have any department for issue resolutions. DO NOT FALL for verizon's offers. They are scams. I do not see any option but to go back to my previous provider. It's worst customer service I have ever experienced in my entire life. They are hard core liars and scammers.

Issue 2: She was supposed to process a credit. That credit was never processed.
Issue 3: Verizon had towers go down that were impacting our service. Verizon wanted us to pay $1000 for hot spots to resolve the issues.

I had an account for my business Countywide Property Inspections since 2014. Upon retiring and closing the business I closed my Verizon account and switched carriers. I was to believe it was a prepaid account according to my accountant. During my relocating I had mail held and then once settled back in forwarded. At this point (March 3, 2021) I became aware of the amount due and promptly paid the amount of $63.93 in full. During all those years payment was never late to my knowledge. I am not disputing the fact that the payment was late and am requesting that the above be rescinded from the credit report agencies. By abrogating the reported information my credit score will go back up to its normal Good from the Fair. Verizon notations on the report cause it to drop. The credit reports show it as paid but as late which is affecting my score.

Don’t come to this company if you ever plan on leaving or taking your phone somewhere else. I have a iPhone 11 that I have had from them for 2 years and has since been paid off. I am trying to switch companies as I am getting married and we are trying to condense bills and his plan is cheaper. Over 3 weeks ago we went to our new company and was told my phone was carrier locked but when I got my phone and stated on Verizon’s website they lock their phone for the first 60 days then it’s unlocked.
Now for the past 3 weeks I have been fighting with Verizon to get my phone unlocked. They keep saying it’s unlocked but under my setting it’s not and when I look up my IMEI it’s showing locked to Verizon. They keep telling me they are putting tickets in but no one ever gets back with me, you can’t speak with a manager, and now I am having to pay for services I no longer want but forced to keep because I need a phone. I don’t want to pay another $1,000 for a new phone when this one is paid off and works just fine.
This company will lie to you just to keep your money and make you wait hours on hold and don’t even bother going into the actual store if you are not buying a phone because that is apparently all they can do in store. There has only been 1 rep that has been actually trying to help and it took me over 10 calls to get her but she can’t fix it and is having to fight with her own company for someone to actually figure this out. We were planning on going back to Verizon at some point in life but they 100% lost my whole family's service and I will never recommend them to anyone again. They are so overpriced for their service and the customer service and IT is less than helpful.

A few months again I went in to discuss trading in two of the five lines on my plan and was told by the Verizon representative that I would get a full payment for my two trade ins after a 60 day waiting period. I had an expanded conversation with her explaining that I did not want any deals that required me to be locked in any way with two years repayments and she insisted that Verizon no longer did that to their customers.
After the sixty days when I did not see the credit for my trade ins I called Verizon and learned that they had locked me up in a two year repayment plan after I told them I would not trade my phones in under those circumstances! They are now refusing to stand behind the promises of their representative and fix this! They are now blaming the store with the big red Verizon sign outside saying they really aren’t Verizon while the not Verizon, Verizon store says the account is with Verizon so they have to make it right. No one wants to make the bait and switch plan right and return my phones or pay me as they stated they would.

I went to the Verizon store (Not an Authorized Reseller) to upgrade from the Iphone X to a 13Pro. I was unaware that the Retail stores have different pricing than the Online store. Once I realized there was a better offer Online, I called them 3 days later. I had still not received the 13 Pro yet and I also found a coupon for a FREE 13 Pro upgrade for a 24 month contract as long as I was on a premium service (in which I was). The rep said no problem and proceeded to make all right. I confirmed multiple times during the call that my bill will not go up any at all with the new 13 Pro and they confirmed it would not.
I have been also trying to get the same promotion for my wife's phone. I was told that since it was notated in my account, I can go online and get the same promotion. THIS WAS LIE #1. I tried going online and I was not able to do it online so I called the support folks back and they told me I needed to speak to a ONLINE Sales Rep. So, I called them.
In the meantime I saw on my bill that I was still getting charged for the original 13 Pro. So, while I had Verizon on the phone and asked about it and they did not see anything in my account notating a free phone. So, I went through the details again with this rep and they said it was too late to affect this bill but she would provide a credit for the current bill but then set up a credit for 23 months to reoccur each month to offset the hardware charges (THIS WAS LIE #2). So, thinking the first 13 Pro upgrade is behind me I would go back to working on the second phone Upgrade. I WAS WRONG! When I called back to get the other phone upgraded, they said they saw nothing notated in my account again about the free 13Pro. I asked her if she could pull the phone call recordings on a specific date... (THIS WAS LIE #3).
I spoke to a front line manager named Maria and asked her to listen to the recording and she said they don't record all calls (THIS WAS LIE #4) and refused to go listen to the call and basically said that whatever was said by an agent is irrelevant and there was nothing they could do to resolve this conflict. After arguing with this idiot for 30 min plus, I ask for the call to be escalated. I was told someone will be calling me back in the next 24 hrs. I ACTUALLY GOT A CALL THE FOLLOWING MORNING! First time they did anything they said they would do. However, Brandy 2nd Level Mgt basically confirmed that they did not care what the agent agreed to do and that what is done is done and I am screwed. She said they don't have the ability to pull the recordings and listen to them (THE FINAL LIE).
If they have no way of listening to the calls, then WHY do they bother recording the calls. The good ole BAIT AND SWITCH and LIE when it is in their best interest. SCREW THE CUSTOMER!! This will be the LAST time I go with Verizon and as soon as this contract is over, I will be switching. The customer service is pathetic and the fact that they don't honor what they tell you on the phone is a huge issue for me. I will not do business with that kind of company.
BTW...I am now retired but was a VP of Sales for a Major Software Security Company. So, I know how Corp USA works and someone needs to clean this up and start firing the mgt team that is allowing this to happen. It’s a cancer that will keep growing otherwise. I also learned that Verizon is more interested in getting new customers than keeping the ones they have.

After 14 years as a customer when it came time to get a new phone went to store to upgrade to the latest iPhone. Store basically acted as if we were disturbing their afternoon but ok maybe just a bad day. Told it would be a month before the new 13Max was available (this was after they had been released). Not quite 3 weeks later (and more than a week before the phone was expected to arrive) get call that says in about a rude a manner as possible “Come get your phone or we will send it back”. Ok, no one ever told us it was there and the attitude was a bit much but they just hung up. Had been waiting a few weeks for the phone so run down to get it before it disappears.
The attitude the first time sucked but the second time was just unbelievable. When asked if we could pick up the phone was told in an extremely condescending tone “Well what did you order”? At this point cooperation was over. “Why don’t you look it up? You just called me and have the whole thing right on your screen?”. This apparently was too much to ask of the person and their response was “You don’t even know what you ordered, we are really busy”. No they weren’t. There was only one other customer in the store (more important they spend time **ing amongst themselves). Told them to keep it, we can find a better deal elsewhere.
Called the customer service line and after waiting 30 minutes to talk to someone was told “Gee that’s too bad, we will give you a $50 credit." My monthly bill for just mobile is nearly $300. So after 14 years we will find a cheaper plan. I also have their FIOS system and will be ditching that as quick as possible. If they don’t care about their customers why should I care about being loyal to them. I was about to buy 4 other new phones and roll another to them. That will not be happening. Get the cheapest plan you can (hint it’s not these guys) and rotate often. Buy your phones separately so you can switch providers whenever this kind of crap happens. Learned my lesson.

The cell phone was, essentially, useless. I brought the phone to a Verizon retail store near my home to solve the problem. The hours during which the store was open were listed on Yelp as 10 am opening. When I arrived at the store, it was 11:15 a.m. There was a sign on the door, "OPEN AT 11 AM."However, the store was closed and locked.
I noticed a T-Mobile retail store across the street and decided to seek help there, since they were open. I ended up getting a smoking deal on a new Samsung cell phone (state of the art) and a rate that was 25% lower than the amount Verizon was charging me. The reception with my T-Mobile service has been outstanding, no problems. It makes me wonder what possessed me to ever open an account with Verizon.
I recommend that you consult with T-Mobile before even considering entering into a contract with Verizon. Finally, Verizon tried to charge me for an extra month of service, even though I had already switched my service to T-Mobile. Verizon even called a collection agency to collect the measly $81 monthly service charge for a month of service they didn't provide. VERIZON IS A RIP-OFF WITH LOUSY SERVICE!

I was with Verizon Wireless for 7 horrible, frustrating months. I had to call on many occasions because of poor service and mistakes on their part. Each call took from 40 minutes to 145 minutes, no kidding. I'm on the phone with them right now trying to solve a problem (1 hr 18 min and counting. Talked with 4 people and waiting to see the final count).
Two weeks ago I called them, stating I was going to find another carrier and wanted the transfer code and other info I would need when I made the transfer. The guy did not listen to me when I told him I would rather not have a phone than use Verizon Wireless. Yet he continued to waste my time trying to convince me to stay. He got so mad at me for not staying, he immediately blocked me from my Verizon acct, even though I had not signed on with another provider and even though I was still using Verizon's SIM card. Therefore, I could not print the shipping label he sent me via email because you have to sign into your Verizon acct. to print a shipping label sent to your email. Like that makes sense.
Here it is, two weeks later, I finally transferred my service and installed a different company's SIM card. But can I call customer service to get access to the shipping label I was sent? No, because I can't sign in. They blocked me from my acct. Can I go online to contact customer service? No, because you have to sign in. But they blocked me. I finally, after 1 hour and 27 minutes, found a way to talk to a human being. Talked with four of them over the hour and a half I've spent explaining and explaining and explaining and explaining. I could not take it anymore. I hung up.
I understand that my service ended when I installed my new SIM card. But my acct is still open because I owe them money. Why can't I see my account? And why did they block me from everything two weeks before I signed on with another provider? The only answer is that they take revenge on people who leave Verizon. I left Verizon because of the worst customer service in the world. They have certainly accentuated that by making it impossible for me to view my acct and send them their booster.

Bottom line, their name is great, the service is OK and they do offer some great phones. However, they completely lack Customer Care in every single way. You will wait hours on hold calling their 800 number. You will not reach support through their website unless you are logged in as a paying customer.

I waited all day for this phone just to be told Verizon messed up my shipping information and tried to update the address over three times since the package has been in route. I never once authorized Verizon to do so which made me extremely confused.
So, being the situation was now 110% out of my hands, UPS sent my phone to the returns and processing center in Fort Worth. Okay, cool. Whatever. I can just re order another one, right? Lol. Five preorders later, yes five, I just now finally got a legit pre order through due to Verizon’s way of magically changing my address EVERY SINGLE TIME. I now have to wait another month to get my preorder being the phone is now on back order. Remind you: I was charged per each reorder despite never receiving my money for the first one. I even went to a physical Verizon store and had the guy read the address out loud. I looked at the shipping information on the receipt and the guy made the same mistake I preached to him NOT to do.

If you want a reliable cellular service that plays nice with other providers and allows wifi access to services...keep looking, Verizon is not the service for you. The ONLY way you can use your phone as a phone is to be connected to a Verizon tower. That's right folks, no roaming, no wifi calling, no wifi texting, no nothing. You know that cheap service they sell at Walmart? Far better than Verizon. Save your money and go AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.

Verizon is the strongest service. Especially on the go. I've been in some pretty remote places and the signal has always been excellent and lasting. As matter of fact in many cases my Verizon Wireless phone was the only one that worked out of several other cell phones with other providers. That's why I believe they are the best and strongest that a person could buy. Thanks Verizon Wireless for always keeping me in touch. Sincerely and satisfied, Donovan C

I was on the phone with Verizon for three hours today. I was disconnected. The call dropped. Nobody called me back. I was on hold the majority of the time. Every person could hardly speak English and I’m calling from the United States. I was calling about loyalty since I’ve been with the company 15 years and there were no loyalty benefits for me according to their customer service. I’m under contract with a phone that I could’ve paid cash for but they required me to sign a contract for two years to receive the discount. The phone no longer holds a battery but I’m still under their contract and there are no options for me upgrading without paying. There is no refund. No accommodation for the fact that the phone is no longer working properly and still under contract.
After the three hours I was given misinformation and not understood and the outcome had nothing to do with the reason I called. This was due to language barriers as well as a lack of care and no consideration for the country that they’re dealing with. Speaking some English and understanding English speaking customers are two different things. They have us between a rock and a hard place because we need the communication and they’re taking advantage of us. This is a horrible company much different than when I first signed on 15 years ago. It’s disgusting.

I have heard so many great things about Verizon Wireless, I wanted to give them a try and get my home internet. Delivery was on time and on par with what they had said in the initial sign up process. We receive the equipment, my companion sets it up. Lo and Behold, it doesn't work and also my account has become nonexistent. I am on hold with them as I write this, and I am LIVID. The 1st phone call I got passed around by 4 of their customer service reps. All I needed was some tech support so that I may resume my life. Literally, 4 people.
When I was finally connected to the last person, I got HUNG UP ON. I've called back now 5 times, this one I'm on right now is the 5th, and each call has been me on hold up to and passed 20 minutes. 20 MINUTES!!! So I went from 4 people and a hangup to now nothing, save for this annoying piano jazzy music they got playing in the background as I wait for no one to assist me. My advice, if you want horrible customer service and have a whole day or 2 to waste, then Verizon is the place to be. If you don't, I'd definitely and strongly suggest you try anyone else other than them.

After spending 2.5 HOURS on an online chat with a LIVE person, who claims they are not able to physically call you to chat, but can only converse online. I got ZERO resolution, and never got the representative's name before we got disconnected and some new robot came on saying "How can I help you!?!" She spent 2 hours assuring me that my iPhone trade in will be credited, after I received an email from Verizon Wireless stating that because the back of the phone is cracked, it does not qualify for the trade in program. Their website clearly states that "Old and damaged trade ins accepted."
This was an iPhone 11 in perfect working order, just cracked glass on back of phone. (Which Verizon can easily replace and then resell at full price!). When I try to call to speak to a live person, I am on hold for over 30 minutes (when it says my wait will not be longer than 7 minutes) before I hang up and give up. I am going to reach out to my attorney now to find out what legal rights I have to cancel my contract with Verizon and never look back.
I have been a customer for over 20 years, have 4 lines on my plan, and just received an email stating that I not only have to make payments on the new phone I just upgraded to, but also continue to make payments on the iphone 11 I traded in. So next month's bill is over 700.00! when my bill is usually 300.00 a month for 4 lines. Verizon Wireless false advertises, suckers you into upgrading, and then rejects your trade in after the fact and you are stuck paying whatever fees then apply. I highly suggest you use AT&T for all your cell phone needs unless you want to be robbed blind from Verizon.

I have been a Verizon customer for 15 years and the service has never been worse than it is NOW. I barely get 1 bar through the day and evening. Customer service has informed me that this is due to congestion. Congestion all day and night every day and night? This is totally unacceptable. The suggested solution per management at Verizon is that I pay Verizon $40 MORE per month to get at least a 4g LTE service that will still apparently be subject to congestion on the Verizon network. Wow, I am extremely unhappy with Verizon and am for the first time searching for a better company to give my money to.
I currently pay Verizon over $115 per month just for the privilege of having virtually no cell phone service because any calls made with only 1 or 2 bars of service is full of drop outs. I am going to complain to the Fair Trade Commission, the BBB, my congressperson and whoever else I can think of. This is BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. And this whole idea of 5G service is a joke. Lots of talk but extremely limited 5 G service and I am in the Los Angeles service area! Customers do not need to put up with this kind of business practice. Action is the only solution. I used to have great service from Verizon but not any longer. This trite response from Verizon that "Congestion" is absurd. So I guess what they are saying is that the more customers they have the worse the service becomes...unless you cough up more money. Sincerely, Thanks for nothing Verizon.

I have had Verizon service for over a decade and loved it. In the last 6 months their service has declined significantly. Then they started overcharging me for data. Every month I would get a notice that I used more data than I had which is impressive since I work from home and am on wifi all day long. This month I was 6 days into the cycle when I ran out of data. How is that possible? I called and they said they would change my plan - they didn't. I got a data notice two days later. So then I just went to AT&T but only moved over my phone and not my iPad service.
So I have been trying to cancel that for days but all their branches are not open when they say they are supposed to be and when I called it went to an automated message saying I needed to cancel online and when I went online, their webpages kept erroring out anytime I got close to a cancellation page. Their live chat agent kept sending me error pages. I still haven't been able to cancel my old service. They are the worst!!! Stay away!

After getting several Verizon Wireless “Special opportunity: We're inviting you to upgrade and get a new phone” emails, I went to the local Verizon company store to look at the phones being offered. A Verizon rep told me that another phone could be substituted, but couldn’t tell me if it would work overseas. Called *611 for Verizon tech support, they couldn’t tell me either. Spent considerable time researching it myself, went back to the store to sign up and then was told it wasn’t available under the “Special opportunity” after all.
If that weren’t enough, the store has extremely limited and very narrow parking spaces. When I arrived and pulled into one of only 2 open spaces in front of the store besides those reserved for curbside pickup, a Verizon employee in a pickup truck parked in the next space started yelling at me that I was too close to his truck, opened his door into the side of my vehicle, and yelled “You better not be going into Verizon”. I pulled forward long enough for him to get out easily, but when I complained to the store manager he stated that the encounter was my fault, and that I, a customer, should have parked around back. Guess that’s what Verizon means by “We’re working hard to serve you better.”
I was told I could get a free phone upgrade to a preferred device that wasn't actually available on the offer, spent considerable time researching that device because Verizon tech support couldn't answer a simple question, then was verbally assaulted by an employee in a Verizon company store parking lot. I'm a 22 year long Verizon customer who is looking for another carrier and would only return to that store if my life depended on it.

Why does Verizon have the worst tools for preventing spoofed/scam calls?
1. They only let you block 5 numbers! You can block more (only 20) but you have to pay. WHY CHARGE to block numbers! So frustrating! AND those numbers get deleted after 90 days SERIOUSLY? You can block numbers through your phone but the problem with that is my voicemails fill up within a day. Update your system Verizon!!! People want to PERMANENTLY block numbers so they can not leave voicemails/text/or show in missed call log.
2. I tried their call filtering and that made things worse. Every time my bank or some other business that I wanted to talk to, it would show SCAM.
Please Verizon, if you're reading this, delete voicemails that have audio! This would help everyone out. I don't have time to listen to all these blank voicemails.

I was told by Verizon representative She could not correct this with Fed Ex. She said I would have to cancel order and refund-order and pay the taxes again on a new order. I said I didn’t want to pay again, since I already paid. I cancelled and said I would wait to get my money back on the watch I never got that was being sent back to the warehouse due to insufficient address.
After that call, I decided to call back and again be on hold for over 30 minutes. I finally got a representative after all the recorded messages. I ask her about the order and told her what the previous Rep had told me. She checked and said my order had not been cancelled and that she could contact Fed Ex and give them Apt number. And it would still be delivered. I said OK. I waited on the day it was to be delivered but no delivery. I looked on Fed Ex tracking and they had not corrected the address and it was being returned to warehouse. I call back and they cannot fix this. I have to wait for them to get return, that I did not get or return before I can get the taxes I paid returned to my card.

It shows I’m being charged full price 529.00 plus various other monthly charges on my account and my next bill would be 621.00 approximately. I about fell out of my chair. I called and waited to reach rep 30 minutes or more and went through the horrible customer lack of service process. I am told they will credit me, but not until the watch that was never going to be delivered and was being returned by Fed Ex is returned.

Ok so here’s what happened when I went to my local Verizon retailer in Roseburg Oregon…. I went in to start a plan with Verizon in early June. I got all the way through the process which took at least a half hour. When I went to pay the rep then informed me that I had to pay using a credit card. I explained I only had cash and told him at that point to disregard everything and I turned around and walked out of the store. About two days went by and I started receiving emails from Verizon about my account! I was confused because I never finalized anything, I didn’t leave with a phone number or phone mind you. I went down to my retail store in Roseburg Oregon on Stephen’s st. The manager specifically told me that he himself had canceled this and to disregard all emails. So I did.
Over the next couple weeks I received several about the account. So then I called customer service. They told me that I needed to see the manager at the retail store where this occurred! I explained that I had already done that and spoke to the manager and he told me not to worry. That he had canceled it. The lady from customer service said that it probably just hadn’t shown up on her side and that I shouldn’t worry about the emails. Ok so I didn’t. Then a couple weeks later I got a bill for 130$. Needless to say I was furious! I then talked to countless customer service representatives including the fraud department and all. I mean ALL of them assured me multiple times that there was zero activity on this account, they could see that I hadn’t taken a phone or activated a number so again…. ”I shouldn’t worry”….
I let it go, like I said I spoke with 3 or 4 different customer service reps in all different departments and had to explain to ALL of them the situation. It was mind numbing! So flash forward to Aug. 2nd I get a collections notice on Verizon’s behalf for 130$!!!! My jaw hit the floor! I instantly called Verizon and spoke with a lady that seemed to be sympathetic to my situation, told me about how mad she herself would be if this had happened to her. She told me she’d get her supervisor and explain the situation and get them to take care of this IMMEDIATELY! Those were her words! "We’ll get this taken care of immediately!" I started to feel a sense of relief, like someone around here cared about what I was dealing with. She got back on the line and informed me that I had called too late and her super had just stepped out for the evening. I understood it was 5 pm her time.
She gave me a number that she claimed was a direct line to her super and she’d leave a note about the situation on her desk so she’d be filled in when I call the next day. I felt pleased with my experience with this rep when I hung up the phone. I felt like it would be handled the following day…. I called the number I was given….it didn’t go to her supervisor. It went to the COLLECTION AGENCY!!!! I couldn’t even believe it! I called Verizon immediately. I spoke to another rep that told me she would prioritize the matter and have her supervisor look into it and gave me another direct number to her supervisor or so she claimed. When I called today it was a general line for Verizon! I’m at my wits end and was told by a rep at the second Roseburg location I Needed to go to a corporate office an hour and a half away from me!

Do not go with Verizon. My experience with them has been nothing shy of debilitating. Their network is fine. I had a few dead zones in heavily populated ares which shouldn't happen, but I have had that experience with other providers too. My biggest qualm comes from the fact that their employees do not know what they are talking about, they try to upsell you, and sometimes charge you even though you said you did not want something.
I am on a business account, and I could not get access to the account because the owner passed away. They agreed to change the billing address and promptly failed to follow through. It took me 5 separate phone calls and a trip to the store to find someone willing to change the account email and reinstate service while I handle this. I then got on the phone with someone who said he would send me an email to set up the account in my name. I never received that email. All they want to do is charge you money. Late fees are racking up; I guess I just won't pay them. They also charged me for insurance on my phone that 1) I explicitly stated I did not want when I purchased my device, and 2) I can't access because Verizon won't let me access my account.

I had the most bizarre experience last week with the Nanuet shop. The sales person did not check my address with me and wrote a wrong delivery address of 1 device and three accessories to a wrong address (US$ 1k). As they don't print contracts like they used to do in the past, I only realized the error after I received the shipping tracking # from the UPS by email. I went back to the shop and WASTED three hours with the representative, shop manager and customer care (this over the phone) and I was promised the shipment to the wrong address would be cancelled, a new order would be sent to my actual address and delivery to me would be in time to arrive for my pre-set appointment to activate my card.
Unbelievable. Not only did nobody follow up with what they promised, but indeed the products were sent to the wrong address and received by whoever was living in that place. I just received an alert from UPS saying my products were delivered to "me" and "congratulations!". Unbelievable such a terrible service, presale and post sales. Nobody listens. I wasted 2 hours buying, three hours to correct wrong delivery address and now # of hours to cancel this order, retrieve my lost items or get my money back. Zero star for this service.

After 13 years with Verizon I closed one account to open another and they billed me after the account was closed which I did not know about. This is a very unprofessional business and I would not recommend their service.

Do not get Verizon Wireless. They are Con Artists. They make it difficult to reach their customer service and when you do they manipulate you and find ways to overcharge you for their service. Over the last week it’s been the most painful experience dealing with their customer service. They are not an honest company. I spoke to three different supervisors in one day and they all did not help me fix the original plan I signed up for. They said they would call back at a scheduled time and did not. Instead they manipulated my wife into another more expensive plan. They take advantage of busy people and use it in a way to make more money off of them. I’m warning not to ever deal with these Con Artists.

Once I realized that the iPhone would cost $25/mo x2 years, I called Verizon to cancel order and stay with ATT. Verizon shipped the order the next day anyway! They kept trying to ship me the new iPhone and SIM cards. I refused delivery (sorry FedEx). Never received the shipment thus no activation. Then receive monthly bill for $330 from Verizon Wireless for July 2021. Amazingly, ATT, my previous carrier, continued to bill me for the month of July 2021 as well. How is that even possible??? Seriously. I am disgusted by these companies.

It's with great sadness that another good tech company has decided to end customer service. You can no longer reach a real person by voice, their IVR is a total failure, and they've chosen to outsource technical support to a useless offshore chat service, people being paid a fraction of US wages to deliver non-existent technical support, juggling a dozen simultaneous chats poorly. I switched from AT&R to Verizon 5 years ago because of their terrible customer service, but Verizon has gone even deeper into this hole. Don't try to call a Verizon store, they don't/won't answer, and you end up lost in IVR. For a company with such strong physical infrastructure, they have given up on real customer support. Now looking at ** with US based call centers, a company that understands real customer support.

I've been a Verizon customer for approximately 20 plus years and you would think a company would cater to the customer. I live in the country therefore they will only give me 4G in Data, I travel coast to coast and work in a 5G area but I was told I can't get unlimited Data or even an upgrade to get more than 4G. After all these years of being loyal to them I have made the decision to go with AT&T who will give me total unlimited Data with no throttle down when you hit your max. It's a total shame that companies have so much money that the little person no longer matters.

Verizon Wireless deserves exactly 0 stars for their customer service. They just hung up on me while I was waiting on hold for several minutes to speak with a manager to help me with a very simple request that I can't find any rep willing to do their job and help me get completed. The phone coverage is also bad. I use wifi at home and yet they won't let me pay for less than 5GB per month which I never use because the service doesn't work.

I took the Bring your own device offer from VZ for a $650 rebate. Before the port in, I checked with VZ and they confirmed that my device was eligible for a port. Once I switched lines, VZ could not port my device. I spent several hours with their tech team. They sent me a new SIM which also did not help. They asked me to visit a store. I visited the store twice. The store advised me to purchase a new phone. After having a week with VZ I was so tired that I purchased a device. I submitted my rebate for BYOD. VZ rejected my rebate application stating that since I had purchased a new device I did not qualify for BYOD. I spent several hours with VZ support, I had to purchase a new device because VZ could not activate my old device after telling me that they could, had a non functional phone for week and not get the promised rebate. This is VZ's new way of defrauding customers.

I've never had to contact Verizon support outside of a in-store visit until this week, and I'm beyond upset. Over the past two days, on two different accounts that I manage, I have received the worst possible customer service I've ever had with any company. Genuinely looking at getting a new service provider, because I never want to have to deal with your support team ever again.
2 months ago my aunt set up autopay for my grandparent's account, because they were cancelling the card that was on file. Then a month ago, that payment failed, because they tried to use the cancelled card for autopay. I called in and retried to set up the autopay on the good card AGAIN. So what happens this month? My grandmother, who is starting to experience dementia, and has to carry an oxygen machine with a 3 hour battery life had her phone service cut off in the middle of the day while she was out taking care of some business she needed to take care of.
The reason she has a phone is in case she needs help. She can call one of us to help her out. BUT THAT ONLY WORKS WHEN THE PHONE HAS SERVICE. For whatever reason verizon agents can't figure out how to set up autopay on the right card. So her phone WAS SHUT OFF WHEN SHE NEEDED US, and when I tried to call her at about the 2.5 hour mark, I couldn't get in touch with her, so I had to leave and go search for her. She eventually made it home, but she had been out for 3.5 hours, and spent 30 minutes without a working oxygen machine, and nobody knew where she was to go help her.
Of course, when you try to make a call from a disabled phone, you're redirected to the automated, "You must make a payment on your account to restore services." So I did that on her phone at about 6:45pm my time. I access the account using the PIN, and I try to find out why the account isn't getting paid. The girl on the phone tells me I must be my grandfather, or have my grandfather nearby to tell her she can talk to me. Well, my grandfather is dead, but I have access to the account because I have the PIN number.
She tells me she can't help me, and tries to transfer me to another department, but I stop her and tell her that I've been in the account before, I've paid the bill using a good card, and that we've attempted to set up autopay with a good card two months in a row now, so I need to know why things aren't working. She tells me she needs to get a supervisor, to which I state, that if she's going to get a supervisor I want to be the one that talks to them, so puts me on hold. I'm on hold for about 5 minutes and the phone starts to ring again, and she answers the phone like it's a new call.
I work in a call center. I know this trick. She transferred me back into the queue because she didn't want to deal with me, expecting that another agent would get the call. Well, unfortunately for her she was the only one available to take the call, so she had to ask for the account information again, like it was a proper new call, so that's how I know she did what she did. Then she asks to speak with my grandfather again to verify that I'm allowed to access the account. To which I have to discuss, again, my grandfather isn't alive.
I told her to connect me to a supervisor. She put me on hold. At exactly 7:00pm my time, the phone rings again, but YOUR OFFICES CLOSE AT THAT TIME. So I basically got hung up on and I never got to talk to anyone that was able to figure out what was wrong with the account until the next day, so my grandmother didn't have phone service for just about a whole day because of the verizon agents' incompetence and outright rude and disrespectful nature.
The next day I called in, pretended to be my grandfather and nobody cared whether or not that was true, because I had the PIN number and said I was him. The account security is **. Then today I had to spend almost 2 hours in a support chat with another, rude agent that had 0 interest in helping me answer a very simple question. "How much will it cost to add my grandmother to my plan?" I had to get a supervisor on the line to get any actual assistance, with an accurate price-point to add her to the account. They should name the department CUSTOMER HARASSMENT because there is no support when they're contacted, whatsoever, without a supervisor on the line.

Now that they're too busy to let me cancel properly, they'll just leave me on hold till I give up. Guess what idiots? I'll just hold off paying my bill.

I got an email message telling me my Verizon Jetpack had been discovered to have a defect that made it dangerous to use - risk of burns and fires - and that I should stop using it. However, Verizon continued billing me $20 per month for its use. When I called Verizon to ask them to remove the charge from my bill or credit the amount toward a future bill, they said I had to call Ellipsis the maker of the jetpack because there was nothing Verizon would do. Each of these calls (the ones to Verizon and the ones to Ellipsis) had me on hold for between one hour and two hours. When I reached Ellipsis they could only send me a new jetpack in 2 months and a box to send back the old one in 2 months but could not credit or refund any part of my bill and they told me to call Verizon again.
I called Verizon again and explained this to Tia, the customer service rep with Verizon, but she was obviously following a script to tell me there was nothing Verizon could do. She acknowledged that the jetpack was dangerous to use and that I should not use it but she insisted that they had the right to keep billing me for it! How twisted is that?! I will of course now proceed to dispute the charge on my credit card, using up further precious time and energy but it must be done so they don't get away with their sickening behavior. The customer service rep Tia was incredibly rude and disrespectful - calling me by my first name after I asked her to use my title, and refusing to take any steps at all to address the issue, and this was after I had spent nearly 2 hours on hold!
The only reason I stay with Verizon for now is that many people have my phone number and would find it hard to reach me if I changed numbers. It is a terrible company that has no respect or loyalty toward customers. I have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR phone lines with Verizon and have been a customer for 20 years but rather than show appreciation or respect toward me as a long term active customer they are consistently rude, disrespectful, and stonewalling of any attempt to get any issue addressed. It is sickening.
Eventually I will stop being their customer but I have to work out some things first to provide all my contacts with a different phone number. So, I am now in my SIXTH month being told not to use my jetpack because of danger yet NOT receiving a new one and NOT receiving a mail-in kit to return the old one and STILL being billed for the jetpack every month though I have not even turned it on since April. Verizon Wireless is completely lacking in integrity and professionalism. If you are not yet their customer I urge you to run full-speed in the opposite direction!!!

Verizon has irresponsible employees and the most unfriendly website ever. My family account holder tried to transfer from AT&T to Verizon, which we later realized was a big mistake. I took the new sim card to a Verizon store, and the guy said my phone was not compatible and tried to persuade me into trading my perfectly good phone to get a new one. He told me I only needed to pay extra 100 without telling me it is a downgrade in memory of my iPhone and it will cost $350 in my rebate! At that point I don't trust the guy any more so I didn't listen to him and went home to try to figure it on my own, and turns out he was lying! My phone was perfectly compatible and there was no issue at all.
The second thing is when I tried to do it on the Verizon website on my own, I had great trouble. The website doesn't allow me to register with my phone number. When I register, it told me the number already exists, when I tried to reset my password, it told me the number does NOT exist. My GOD. I have never experienced this kind of stupidity in any website ever. In summary, evil employee and crappy website. I've decided to bring my whole family back to AT&T.

Had an issue where I ported out my lines and service, which included a tablet. I was unaware that the tablet line was not not ported out and the service was kept active. When I found out the service was still active I paid the balance and I called up immediately to try and resolve the issue. Thinking I would just be issued a refund. The two reps that I spoke with confirmed that there was no usage of the device but that they could only issue a 50% refund. Not satisfied with this I figured it would be best to escalate and the executive assistant stated that she was being more than generous offering a 50% refund instead of the full refund. I still did not accept and will continue to speak out against big businesses taking advantage of the every man until my voice is heard.

So much so it felt like they were doing it on purpose, using me for a quick cash grab. Internet not working, phone bill overcharge, and now my home phone isn't connected anymore and I have to wait five days for a technician now. I still have internet just no phone service and they literally told me they couldn't do this, you can't have internet without a phone line.
