    As a Verizon customer for the past 2 1/2 years, I can honestly say my customer service experiences with them have varied greatly, from detestable incompetence to some of the nicest people in the business. My most recent experiences have included dealing with an awesome rep who got me a discount based on my job (city government) and a perfectly-mannered live chat rep who handled my issues quickly and kindly.

    However, the most important thing a wireless company can offer me is a great deal. I approached Verizon directly about whether they wanted to try and keep me as a customer, because their service is just too expensive. They could not offer me anything better than outrageous prices and an employment discount. So, off to Straight Talk I go!

    If you are considering switching to Verizon because (like me two years ago) you want to have flawless coverage and a shiny, awesome new phone on payments, realize that with that shiny, expensive phone comes loads of hidden fees, add-ons, total mobile protection, Verizon Cloud service, and so much more that will cost you a ton of money in the end. If you, like me, have a teen who soaks up data like it's oxygen, and you don't want to go all the way to the insane Verizon cost of unlimited data, expect to also pay $15 per gb for overage charges. It's REALLY NOT worth it! So, off to Straight Talk I have gone and am excited about having that extra money to spend on other things.

    My texts are constantly failing to send. Also text photos. I periodically get a voicemail & my phone never rings. Pretty pathetic. The two most basic services call processing & text messaging are too much for Verizon. I have no idea what they base their ‘reliable network’ claims from because it totally unreliable.

    I finally decided to get myself a new phone and finally get on my own service plan after years of being on a family plan. I chose Verizon because I have had their service since 1999 and wanted to stay loyal. In October of 2017 I went to the Verizon store here, and should’ve known from first impression not to stay. I don’t wear formal wear, but I work construction as a woman. I immediately was judged when I walked in. Many of the Verizon sales associates stared at me the entire time I was in their store. No one greeted me, I had to go and interrupt their weekend plans convo to ask for someone to help me. It wasn’t busy, but they finally input my name in the computer and was told someone would be with me shortly.

    I walked around some to see which phone I wanted, and was followed through the store and watched like I was going to try stealing from them. I almost walked out because I was beyond upset after 45 mins of waiting, when the “new guy” was chosen to help me. I told him I only wanted a simple prepaid plan that would allow me to make the necessary calls I needed every month. I have other devices for everything else I need to do. He wouldn’t even give me the plans or options for a prepaid account. He told me I had their credit approval and could get a contract phone and leave that day with a great iPhone paying only taxes that day.

    I was skeptical and asked a lot of questions about how much the monthly bill would be every month to ensure I could afford it. I’m a single mom of 2, and can’t afford $300 a month for a stupid phone plan. He LIED TO MY FACE MULTIPLE TIMES. I had him wrote down my monthly plan amount from his calculations in case they charged more the first month.

    I’ll add, I also chose to add 2 more lines. I was told I would ONLY BE CHARGED $20 MORE PER MONTH PER LINE. BULL!!! I was quoted with 2 lines and a phone it would be $150.00 a month. I could make that work. I get the first bill, and it’s over $400!!! WWWHHHAAATTT??? How is it that I’m being charged over $400 for a service I haven’t even had an entire month!?!?!? I attempted too many times to count to speak with different people over the phone about my phone bill. They spoke in all different codes I didn’t understand it. They dropped it to $290. Which I still wasn’t going to pay.

    I signed up for the service on 9/30/17. My first bill included service from 8/31/17-9/30/17 AND 9/30/17- 10/31/17. How am I getting charged for an entire month early before I even got the service? They swore it wasn’t but I could see it on the app and on my bill details myself. That right there was an extra $160 that should’ve been credited. I’m not paying for a month of service I never had. Then I looked further and I was being charged $60 per line for service. Ok, wait, “Just $20 more per line, right?” So why is each line costing me $60 a piece??? Not one single person could explain that to me. I was bold face lied to in the store. If I would've known to begin with how much it would be for the extra lines every month, I would have NEVER signed up for them in the first place!!!

    When I called and spoke with MULTIPLE VERIZON EMPLOYEES, I got hung up on multiple times after they ran out of excuses. I wasn’t derogatory to them, but many of them were with me. I don’t care if they're not the ones in the store, they all represent the same damn company with the exact same policies in place all over the country. So it’s VERIZON'S RESPONSIBILITY to fix the account and absolutely ridiculous monthly charges. Or cancel the service to a very unsatisfied customer. They even have a policy in place that allows returns with no charge after 14 days of initial service agreement. I ATTEMPTED TO CANCEL 6 times within that period and was told I couldn’t. So now I’m stuck with a bill so far of $1,540.00 and it continues to accumulate every month.

    I can’t afford that and I’m sick of dealing with them when they won’t offer any resolution to the fact that I shouldn’t even be responsible for these charges to begin with because I was swindled, which should automatically breach the contracts in question. Attempted to cancel the lines and wasn’t allowed. So I’m at a loss for what to do. I can’t afford a lawyer and feel completely stuck.

    I can no longer upgrade a phone. The plans and fees are now so expensive that I cannot afford it anymore. I purchase something in store to find out later that what I was told was a lie. Verizon is crooked and greedy. I am done with Verizon for good.

    I bought my phone at Best Buy. I was told that if I signed up for auto-pay, it would reduce my payments by $5 each month. I signed up. Verified the discount with Verizon but discount not applied. Then Verizon told me that I had to sign up for paperless billing, so I did that. Verizon did not apply the discount; was told I had the wrong plan for the discount. Best Buy should be more informed on Verizon policies and Verizon certainly is not customer friendly since it took months to clarify the issue and they continue with false advertising on their services.

    I unfortunately had to switch to Verizon Wireless due to where I live. They are the only phone carrier with service in Ocean Park, everyone else is roaming and very sketchy. While trying to get my "switch to Verizon" credit to pay my other phone carrier off all you get is a run around and when they finally do pay you, it isn't what was promised. They say that they are going to give you a "bill credit" instead of giving you the money to pay off your old carrier. Then when you call to find out why they send you to a line where no one ever picks up! I waited over 30 minutes and no one ever picked up the phone to resolve my problem.

    I would give Verizon "0" stats for customer service if it was possible. I urge everyone to find alternative ways to communicate rather than use Verizon because all that's going to happen is you're going to get screwed!!! I'm still going to try and get my "switcher money" back but in the meantime, I have to come up with the money myself to pay off 2 iPhones :(. I will also be looking for other phone options and get away, far away from Verizon.

    Recently, my son passed away. He had a Verizon account but no estate. He was a veteran. Verizon was notified immediately after his death but continued to bill him until the death certificate was sent to them. His phone was purchased through a third party and paid in full. Unfortunately, I reset the phone before I removed his Google account so the anti-fraud protection was activated. So I contacted Samsung to see about getting it reset. They requested the receipt with some specific information OR proof of activation. The vendor that sold the phone has since gone out of business and Verizon has sent his final bill to collections and denies that they have any proof of activation for his phone. All I wanted to do is carry his phone in his memory. I have a Verizon account but not for long. Goodbye Verizon!

    12/28/2017 after 6 attempts on an automated service which got disconnected each time and an hour and a half on hold I finally got the phone activated but not without different stories, different people coming online, different explanations or excuses. I was told by first gentleman that there was no longer a $45 plan so he would talk to customer service and change my plan to $40 and put $5 credit on my account. After a 20 minute hold he just checked in to say they were working on it... hold again... then came back to say all was ok. Just waiting for credit to get put on account. Hold again.

    Then a completely different man comes on and says they are not able to change plan prices so I asked if the first guy had lied and I got, "I understand." Hold again. Then to put an end to the phone call which by now I was aggravated I gave him a $60 card and got the phone activated... Tomorrow I will find out if my account is now credited the difference. If not I will be back and I will talk to a supervisor at Verizon. Moral being be prepared to say your problem 15 times and make time for hour+ wait time.

    I went into a corporate store last week to replace my wireless headphone under warranty. The rep that I got, David told me they no longer stocked these. He tries to get me to upgrade to Bose and spend another $160. I left the store very disappointed with the service and attitude. I called the customer service number on my ride and talked to a very young lady, explained it and she said she was sending me another setout and I would have them by Friday. All seemed to be ok. Friday rolls around and I have nothing. Wednesday Dec28 I call again and get someone different. She was totally clueless. First she couldn't find my history of the other 2 transactions then she couldn't find the product. After about 45 minutes on the line she finally figured it and said she was shipping me a new device. I asked to verify what it is and she said, "I don't know". I asked her how she could ship something if she didn't know what it is she's shipping.

    I finally get finished with her and I get a shipping confirmation email from Verizon. Today I get the package and it's not the correct item. $5 minutes on the phone again and I talk to a supervisor. Now I have to ship back their mistake, wait for it to be received, checked in, and then reorder my warranty replacement. If not I have to pay these idiots $200 and wait for all of to get returned and get credit. Poor excuse for customer service. I've been with this company since I got my first mobile phone in 1994 and I'm starting to think I should be looking at moving all of my service elsewhere. Verizon really doesn't care about their long term customers.

    I am a long time, multidevice, Verizon customer. Within a span of one week, all 4 products that I purchased from Verizon, at the same time, either stopped functioning or had serious problems. Henry Ford built an empire built on this business practice. It's called planned obsolescence. I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 using an Android OSS. A forced update wiped out all my pictures, recordings, and texts and now the phone's home button doesn't work. When I spoke with the Verizon representative at the Wireless Retailer, he told me that it wasn't Verizon's fault. He said it was either Samsung's fault or the Android OSS that caused the error. He also sold me at the same time. I bought my Samsung Galaxy 6; a wall charger, a car charger, and a 4G LTE tablet.

    The week before my phone had a forced update that wiped out all my pictures, recordings, and texts the 4G LTE started turning off by itself. When I tried bringing the tablet to a local Verizon corporate store I was told that I would have to back to the store I purchased it from (I moved so that would mean a 6 hour drive) because the store I purchased my products from store is an authorized dealer and not a corporate Verizon store. When I did take the tablet back to the original store, they fixed it by disabling a lot of apps to keep the tablet running. To add insult to injury, the wall charger and car charger also stopped working.

    Worst Company ever. Purchased a wireless plan and a wireless internet plan. Could not connect with the wireless out in the country or in town. Took it back and they refused to do anything. Salespeople very rude and belligerent. After an hour and a half I got up and left the internet device on their desk and started to leave when they began demanding I take it with me or would throw it in the parking lot. Manager physically forced my wife out of the store. She is 74 years old. I went out after her to see if she was hurt and had the smart ** little ** bring the device out and lay it in the parking lot and leave. I have called numerous times to Verizon and finally got a Supervisor who told me all was straightened out and I could return the device at no charge or a cancelation fee. Did so.

    Then got a early termination fee bill for over $400. Back to calling them again last month. They said I owed $57 and all was good. Today got another bill for $405. Called again and the person I spoke with threw so many figures at me it would have taken a math Professor with a PHD to figure him out. He charged and removed fees so many times and re-added and took away cancelation fees several times and claimed my bills had not been paid so many times that I ended up owing $399 instead of $405. I have not owned the phones long enough to owe that much. Think I might as well have the Manager arrested for assault on my wife and sue Verizon. Please folks do not ever do business with them.

    I just started service with Verizon on 12/20/17, bring over my iPhone 7 plus. I decided to upgrade to the iPhone 8, the smaller version. I ordered the iPhone 8 on 12/24/17 through Verizon's website. Today I checked online to see my order is still in processing. I first went on their chat line and the rep couldn't find my order. I then placed a call to their customer service department. The rep also told me she couldn't locate the order, even though I had my confirmation e-mail from them. Since she couldn't find the order she said she could re-process the order and have it overnighted to me via FedEx. I agreed. As she tried to process this order, she said the system wouldn't allow her in to re-order the iPhone 8.

    I was then transferred to their online ordering department. This rep found my order immediately and said I needed to talk to their fraud department. When I asked why I had to talk to their fraud department, she said the order couldn't be processed until I talked to someone in that department. I explained that I've only been with Verizon 7 days and had already paid my first bill 3 days ago, which wasn't even due until January 10, 2018. That didn't seem to faze her one bit. So I guess trying to upgrade a phone at Verizon makes me a criminal, subject to cross examining by their fraud department.

    I asked why hadn't someone simply picked up a phone and ask me about the order. I didn't get an answer back. So us poor suckers paying their ridiculously high bills are all criminals if you want to upgrade your phone. Since I have no contract, I might just look for another carrier. For the record, when you log into your Verizon account online, a large ad pops up asking if you want to upgrade, the irony.

    I have had the most frustrating experience with Verizon since I started using them as my internet provider in June. My problems began with their wait times on the phone. I was on hold for two hours before I ever spoke with a rep. They concluded I needed someone to come out to the house. The second time I needed service at the house, the guy didn't show up. I got no explanation for this and the internet problems persisted. By the end of the week, I had spent 12 hours on hold and there was no explanation for why my internet wasn't working.

    After two weeks I learned that somehow had my account split into two -- I only knew of one of these accounts so I continued to pay bills on this account while the second that I was unaware of, racked up overdue charges. It took them THREE WEEKS to solve this problem. I spoke with five reps and none of helped solve the problem. ADDITIONALLY, none of them recorded the issue in my file so each time I called, I had to restart the process. It wasn't until I started asking for employee contact information that they decided to be held accountable. A month later I am STILL waiting for them to give me a refund for the charges placed on my account while the internet was down. The worst service I have ever dealt with. I am appalled. Two thumbs down. I will never use Verizon again.

    I've have prepaid service since 2012 with 2 locked devices and my new unlocked smartphone. Recently I bumped up my plan to get as much data allowed while occasionally using hotspot capabilities. Their so called unlimited data plan won't allow hotspot. I pay an extra $20 for 3 gigabytes, fine. Then I realize they deduct from the plan's allotment first once the cycle renews with carry-over data. Therefore that extra money paid towards the monthly data boost (they deny purchasing more than one per cycle) becomes in danger of being confiscated if you have not used all of it before the expiration date. Why don't they deduct from that paid for data boost first before the carry-over of the plan's allotment? It's to soak up more profits... Unfairly... Without awarding the credit for the unused paid data boost amount.

When I called they said it was because my tablet contract was not over. I wouId not have switched had I known this. Also my husband's phone is $40 because we prepaid for his phone, though when advertising they don't say pay for your phone but your monthly access will be more so you really are making payments on your phone.

    I've been with all the phone companies, am currently basically locked in with Verizon because they got me financed for a phone that meets my needs/wants. That said, I am paying, without counting the phone payments - so for service alone, over twice what I paid MetroPCS. So I figured the service would at least be on the same level, right? No. The slow data, which is most of what I use, is so far much slower than the MetroPCS unlimited free 3G. Combine that with the baffling, incomprehensible format they use in itemizing your bill, and the confusing automated changes to your billing, and it gets really annoying.

    I have to spend time I don't have calling and going to the store to ask for an explanation of my seemingly random billing changes. Another thing, they charge exorbitant prices for exceeding your data limit if you don't turn safety mode on. So, all in all, Verizon comes across so far to me as a money-hungry company capitalizing on people's wanting the latest and greatest phones, and can't even give what the lowest price pay as you go service of the cheapest major carrier gives, because they want you to pay as much as they can get away with. I love the new phone I have, especially how much storage it has, but part of me wants to go back to the old phone and carrier I had, which allowed me more versatility. And that phone lasted days longer, and didn't require special chargers to be bought.

    Verizon is the only service that halfway connects in our area. All the towers are Verizon controlled, so you are pretty much forced to use them. Their prices are high for the horrible 1 bar signal you get and their customer service is HORRIBLE! It takes an act of Congress to get a refund on a line they gave you that you didn’t ask for!

    I was up for a new phone because my old cell (Samsung 4) by Verizon was over 2 years old and had literally ceased functioning (unable to charge or hold even a tiny charge before shutting down). I had a tight budget to no income...so I explained I needed something to fit my budget; the gentleman in the Virginia Beach, Va office was kind, however he showed me a phone that seemed reasonably affordable ($168.00 Galaxy J3 Eclipse) but he apparently fail to disclose that they had "prepaid" phone programs. I just learned last week while on the phone with a rep about my bill that they have prepaid programs at $40, $60, and $80...with more gigs than what I'm paying on my 2 gig acct at $78.00 monthly.

    Needless to say I felt bamboozle by the store representative who serviced me back in June this year (2017). So I'm told I must pay for my new phone before I can switch to the lower more affordable program. How is this integrity? It's not. I hope that whoever reads this is helped. I'm not computer illiterate, but neither am I up on what's what in the sales of cellphone so I guess the rep used that to his advantage. I do intend to try another provider once I'm back on my feet...as the Lord will have it.

Their customer service call center is the absolute worst. You cannot be on the phone for less than an hour if you call there. Each employee tells you something different. They say they’re making changes to your account and then don’t.

    I just got off the phone and asked for the name of a lady that I was supposed to make a good size adjustment to my account and failed to do so. The man told me he couldn’t give me her full name, came back said he couldn’t even give me her first name, I asked for her ID #, came back and told me her first name. If that isn’t the sketchiest thing I’ve ever heard of I’m not sure what is. They’re so terrible at their jobs they couldn’t even give out their names. They know their service is great (like actual bars) and that’s the ONLY reason I stay with them. Worst company (next to AT&T) for customer service out there.

    Hi. I am writing this review because I was sent a email Verizon wireless was cancelling my old Unlimited account. I was with Verizon since I was 18 years old. (I was 32 when Verizon sent me the email.) I had a unlimited account since smartphones came out. Last year Verizon sent me a email they were cancelling me if I didnt upgrade my account to one of their limited data plans. It was about the same time AT&T offered a new unlimited plan. I already had DirecTV and bundling both ended up saving me money. Reason I am writing this review now is because I keep seeing their advertisements and I haven't shared how they treated me as a long time customer (who always paid them on time) and the way customer service treated me when I contacted them about the email.

    Their customer service told me that the email I received was because I was in their top 1% of usage users and that's why I received the email. I explained to them how long I had been a customer and customer service acknowledged that. I paid 232.** each month. After having a phone I paid for out of my pocket to keep my plan and then they sent me a email like Verizon did, I contacted many cellphone providers. I decided to go with At&t. My bill is cheaper and I still have unlimited service! I have been very happy since then. :) Verizon ads again are the reason are why I am writing this review. I was the 1% they wanted to cancel my service. I know I'm only 1% but I'm sure At&t likes my money.

    I have never seen a company who treats its customers in such an audacious manner. Almost 6 months ago I changed my service to Verizon - what a mistake. A few days ago, one of the phone broke (cannot charge it and it is not the cord). Yesterday I called the tech support and they told me they will send a replacement because it was still on warranty). Paid for the faster service, and surprise, when I got the phone today did not have the battery, nor the back cover. I took the battery from the old phone, plugged in but it did not work. When I called them back they told me that the battery is not covered by the warranty(?) and they will have to contact LG for me. Instead they transferred my call to LG and left me to fend for myself! Long story short, LG requires that you send them the faulty battery and then wait another 2 weeks to get a new one. I said, "Forget it."

    Called their so-called executive customer (de)service, where the "analyst” was trying to pull a fast one on me. First she said that she could do me a favor by giving me a $50 credit so I can go and buy myself a battery, maybe on Amazon. I kept insisting, but so was she - they do not make the phones and that was the best she could do - all in a very condescending tone. They may not make the phones, but they sell them and promote the heck out of them. I have never heard of a company who washes its hands of the products they sell to their customers, and expect them to liaison with their third party vendors!

    In the end of it all, they said they will send me a new device - again stressing how much of a big favor they were making me, and that they were not going to charge me anything (as they should not have anyway). Surprise again - after the conversation ended I get an email that my next bill will be inflated by $225 for the device replacement! Called again, they were transferring me from one to another, and even their "executive” agent are above and beyond impertinent - this must be a prerequisite for working there. I see there are lots of other customers who had the same experience. This company should be sued. I for one will bill them for all the time I wasted with this nonsense.

    I had an account for over 14 years with Verizon Wireless. We moved to the country about a year ago and could not make any calls on either of our 2 phones. After many calls to Verizon we paid $140.00 to cancel one contract and go to another service that worked well and much cheaper. We rode out the other contract then changed the other phone to the new service. I received a bill last month for the full month's billing.

    I contacted Verizon Wireless again to question why I had to pay a full month's charge for 8 days of service they responded that I should call back to see about a prorated bill if I received a full month's final bill. I did receive a full month's bill again this month. I called again and the lady was gonna check on it and when she came back to the line she hung up. I called back and sat on hold as usual then the young man information me that they don't prorate billing. So I have a bill to pay for almost 80 bucks for 8 days of service. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VERIZON WIRELESS TO ANYONE!!! LESSON LEARNED!!

    I have been a customer of Verizon for seven years. I have never missed or been late with a payment. I have paid off numerous devices. I have multiple lines. I'm pretty much the ideal customer. I had an issue with a phone I purchased from them, took it into the local store, they checked it out, said to send it in and Verizon would replace it for free. The phone was in perfect condition when it left my house. Then about a week later I notice my bill is almost 800 dollars!! They said there was a small crack on the phone screen so I was charged nearly 400 dollars for a damaged device. They wanted to hear nothing of the fact that it was just fine when I sent it to them and two associates actually went as far as to tell me I was lying.

    Two days before I got the elevated bill I had purchased a new phone, added another line, upgraded plan, and added a hum device all in all coming to about 1500 dollars. They refused to remove the charge of the damaged device, plus charged me for activation fees I was told are being waived. To put the cherry on top they sold me the wrong screen protector and my brand new phone screen ended up broken. Not a problem. I had insurance, wrong. They failed to tell me the insurance for cracked screens only covered certain devices. My 850 dollar phone not included. So why was I paying for insurance exactly?! I never received an apology. I never received a satisfactory resolution, and worst of all for all the business and brand loyalty I gave them I received no respect. Shame on you Verizon.

I've been told over and over and over I wasn't going to be charged and I was going to get my money back on top of that. This is the worst signal ever. I do lucky to be able to get through to 911! They really don't care about their customers. They're ripping me off pricing way too much for what so I can text the world and can never connect with a call or do anything online without watching it slowly try to load?

They really don't give a ** about the consumer. They overprice everybody and they don't care. You get a phone shipped service and they act like it's not their problem anymore.

    I have been a loyal Verizon customer for more than a decade, but the latest transaction I had with them was awful and inexcusable. They are currently offering a "sale" of $300 off a new Google Pixel phone, so I went ahead and ordered the new phone since I was eligible for an upgrade and it seemed like a good deal. I added the phone to my cart where it showed that the phone was $300 off, I went to check out where the phone appeared to be $300 off, and completed my order where it also appeared that the phone was $300 off.

    It wasn't until my phone arrived and I attempted to activate it that I discovered that I owed the full $949.99 (retail price) for the new phone. In fact, if my phone would have activated normally, I might have never noticed the discrepancy in what I owed and what I thought I owed... So I got on Verizon's customer support chat where a CSR was able to activate my new phone and explained to me that this was not a "sale", it was a "promotion" and Verizon's promotions are special. She actually said "special"... And that they took the $300 divided it by 24 (which was the monthly installments I needed to make to pay the phone off) and took that amount off of my monthly device payment.

    So, as long as I kept the phone for 24 months, I would only pay the $649.99 that I was promised to pay. But, if for any reason, I decided to upgrade early I would have to pay the remaining balance for the phone. So assuming that I kept the phone for the 12 month minimum, I would have been forced to pay $475 instead of the $325 that I would have expected. I was astounded and told her how ridiculous that was and she politely disagreed and pointed me to the very fine print that I had missed earlier.

    Fortunately for me, I noticed this within my return period and was able to return the phone for a minimal re-stocking fee. But I know that there are going to be a lot of people that Verizon takes advantage of with this "special" promotion and that is just wrong. I have been a Verizon customer for more than a decade and I expected more from them. What kind of a shady business offers a product for one price and puts you in a contract for a much higher price? Now that I am out from under their contract, I will definitely be looking at other service providers and that will be the last purchase I ever make through Verizon.

    I canceled my service due to very poor internet service after upgrading to the unlimited plan. The unlimited plan was recommended by customer service after I was running into their safety plan to keep from being overcharged. After I cancelled I received a bill stating that I would have to pay for the last month of service twice. I contacted customer service and they kept me on the phone for over an hour and finally said they were going to send the charge to the escalation team for correction. I then received another bill for the charges. I called back and was belittled for not understanding why they were charging me twice for the same service period. I was with them as a customer for 8 years. I hope never again to have this level of disrespect and mistreatment. Run and don't even consider their claim to be the best.

    I have Verizon cell phone service, including unlimited data. I pay as much as 4 times more for the privilege of having "the best" coverage in the US. When I couldn't afford both home internet and my cell phone bill, I stopped the home service. I, mistakenly, thought that I could rely on Verizon to fill the void. Once I lost home WiFi, my calls at home dropped constantly. Internet service was so slow, it was basically useless. Service was so bad that I had to sit outside on the porch to speak with VERIZON support people. After many phone calls over a month's time, I got to a rep, who told me that my Internet connections were unreliable because Verizon throttles my Internet connection.

    When I asked when did that start, she told me it is a common practice. She referred me to a cell phone service contract on their website. She told me that, if I wanted better service, I would have to connect to WiFi. Mind you, this was in September, 2017. I was unaware the effort to get rid of net neutrality was even an issue. It was not spoken of in the news. To resolve the lack of service by Verizon, I got my home Internet service back. The use of throttling prevented me from using the Internet. It was hugely frustrating. Net neutrality is NECESSARY to keep Internet providers honest. It is necessary, so that the average person can have access to the benefits of adequate Internet connections. People need to know about Verizon's sketchy business practices. I have no receipt. My complaints were made by phone. I did not add or change delivery plan at the time.

I called them about this and asked if they could credit to me some data due to the slow speed which was draining my data and they said, "Sorry we can't do that," it's not that they can't, it is because they don't want to.

After repeatedly asking if this was going to increase my monthly bill he assured me it would not. What I was actually signing up for was a $20 a month charge for 2 years! After speaking with Verizon customer service, including a supervisor, they did absolutely nothing. Very slick/deceptive selling technique.

    After 7 months of Verizon saying we will fix the service and paying my bill for those months I shut the service down. Now Verizon sends me a bill for 587 dollars cancellation fee. Why should one pay to be lied to by Verizon. Their unlimited package is a joke and ripping the people off. I do not know anywhere you have to pay for something you don’t receive. Someone needs to investigate their ways.

    Long time business account, about 20 yrs now. No more, [do] to the last experience with upgrading to a new iPhone. On 10-12-2017 I went to Verizon for a new phone/plan. I went with the 7+. I explained to the associate helping me (Nicole **) that my laptop had recently died and my phone had not been backed up to iTunes. She explained to me that iTunes wasn't necessary and that the update/transfer could be done with the iCloud. She proceeded to transfer the information from my old phone to the iCloud. After a few minutes the phone notified her that I needed to purchase additional iCloud storage which I did. After a short time she said it was done uploading and started downloading to the new phone. She explained to me that it would take a while for all my pictures to load to my new phone. I traded in my old phone and left with my new one.

    After a couple hours I still had not received all of my pictures, nor did I have service, I wasn't able to make or receive calls. I went back to Verizon, they took the phone and said there was some glitch in the system but it was ok now. I explained to them that I still had not received all of my pictures, they assured me that now that I had service I would get the missing ones.

    The next day I still had not got nearly 600 pictures, the last picture on my phone was from 9-20-2016. I again went back to Verizon. Their response was, "Oops. Sorry. Can't do anything," and sent me to the Apple store. The Apple store associate pulled up my iCloud account and confirmed that the 600 pictures missing never transferred to the iCloud. She explained to me that the Verizon associate should have checked to make sure all my information had transferred to the iCloud before deleting the information from my old phone. It was total negligence on part of Verizon.

    I was a US Cell customer for years. Decided with my wife maybe we should switch Verizon Wireless. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!! I went into the store a town 15 miles south of us. I explained to the Verizon sales rep that where I'm a service connected disabled veteran. I needed to have reliable cell phone coverage. I asked her 3 or 4 times if a certain area was covered as we travel these area often. She assured me on 3 or 4 times I asked that there was service. Also, we would have no worries. Well, was I ever wrong to believe her.

    A week later my wife and I went for a ride. In the areas I mentioned to see if we had service. Nope. Nothing!!! I'm mad and upset! I basically got taken advantage of, lied to because I'm DISABLED. I never would have never bought these phones if she would of been honest and said, "No sir. There is no coverage in that area." So fraud to make a sale and profit. I reported to the FCC, tomorrow Attorney General. I contacted numerous reps via phone chat... Nothing accomplished there!! I contacted the VP of Verizon Wireless Tami Erwin. She never contacted me. If I get no resolve this week. I'm going to file a federal lawsuit. I'm so done with Verizon Wireless. I had US Cell since 2011 and never had a issue. I was a fool to switch. I'm also very tired of explaining myself. Every time I talk to a different rep you need to explain everything over and over. I've done this about 40 times. Nothing resolved yet... I don't recommend Verizon Wireless to anyone.

    After 4 1/2 months of dealing with the promotions department of Verizon Wireless on the switch back to Verizon, I have been informed that my request was not done in a timely manner. However, it was Verizon that did not make notes or efforts to move the process along. Since August, I have spent at least 6 hours of my time on the phone and providing all documentation they have requested to find out this morning that it will take more time to decide if I qualify for the promotion.

    Verizon has the worst customer service department and was the reason I left the first time. Another promotion that I was not even told about when I switched was regarding the phone I purchased. In August it was brought to my attention that I should only be paying 15 a month instead of 24 for my phone, I was told they would backdate and give me credit for the months I have paid and fix the situation on my bill. As of today, nothing has been done. Verizon is a rip off when it comes to assisting customers on promotions they offer. Highly disappointed in how I have been treated and will be seeking new company upon end of my lease for current phone.

Verizon is swift about replacing it (3 times now), but won't allow any compensation for getting a different model. Plus I was told Best Buy that the phone was on sale, and could pay off at $20 a month on Verizon bill.

    Verizon is one of the most costly carriers around. They advertise 40.00 for unlimited talk, text. and data. That’s not true. They charge me 80.00 for the plan another 40.00 for the phone and all the other fees are outrageous. I’m stuck in a 2 year contract but as soon as its paid I will be going to another provider. I also have their Fios service which is more expensive than a new car payment. The 250.00 Visa card they give you to take the service is a joke too. It’s supposed to be used in any store you want but ends up you can only use it in a Verizon wireless store. The card was for me taking the home service but as soon as they seen I had a separate wireless account they switched it up with an alternative excuse and could only be used for their products so they’re not giving you anything. If you read the reviews you will see so many complaints it will make your head spin. The gift card scam is the biggest complaint.

    I’ve seen people with Metro service that makes Verizon look sick. My friend gets the best reception on her Metro phone whereas I never get more than one bar and people tell me they either can’t hear me or that I sound like I’m underwater. It’s pretty bad.

Estimated trade-in credit value of $300 if I keep my existing plan of 5GB. Option 2. Estimated trade-in credit value of $300 if I upgrade my plan to unlimited plan. I went with Option 1. Later the customer rep on phone and in store told me that I only qualified for Option 1 which is a trade-in value of $165. I shown in the store the screenshots prints of the 2 options but they said that estimated trade-in credit value of $300 is an estimate and they can't offer it.

    They recommended to call a customer rep, which I did but the rep said he can't receive emails with the screenshots and to go to a store the validate the prints. Basically going around in circles. Even with printouts of the 2 options I was not able to receive the credit given that the reps were not considering the prints. The prints are attached for each option.

    Although I suggest Verizon service as best for connectivity and reliability, their support is abysmal. An iPhone on my account kept dropping off WiFi causing me to purchase a "boost" to keep my account below data coverage. Strangely enough, this happened within same month I paid off my phone. Sometimes I wonder if data has been manipulated. Verizon salesperson suggested phone is getting old and not much can be done. Suggested new phone. Shocker! A new phone that cost $10 more a month than what is offered on website. They did mention going to Apple store as an option. Thankfully Apple store/support was choice. Issue was corrected by tech over phone after connecting phone to internet.

    Verizon employees should be knowledgeable about products considering they sell them. Suggesting nothing could be done with phone and offering a new one is somewhat deceitful. I have had other bad experiences with Verizon, mainly customer service. Moral of story is, check with manufacturer of phone before buying a new one! Apple offers free diagnostic service.

    Once again, lied to and cheated by a company I've done business with for 15 years. I was quoted a price that my bill would be with the purchase of a new device. I was told that with a credit applied to my bill that an increase of only $7 a month would occur. I even asked the Verizon representative to make a notation on my account that I questioned the validity of the quote and was continually assured it was correct...immediately thereafter my bill went up nearly $40. When I called to complain I was told that it was an estimated quote and that I should have relied on my own equations of the increase... Despite that I did and was assured that "credits" balanced it all back out.

    I have heard from many other people, very similar circumstances. They tell you that they can save you money via credits or changing/adjusting your service only to find they've been lied to. I once received a sales call in which I told the representative that I didn't care for Verizon and was told, "I don't care if you do business with us or not, personally". That employee was terminated after Verizon played the call back. Initially I thought, good...that serves him right.

After the robbery I purchased the same phones online for 20% the cost Verizon was charging me. That's 200 each! I'm paying them over 1000 each! Besides that not a huge deal to me but really gets me is now my devices are acting up and I need new phones. I kindly call them and ask for help to get me into new phones and they want me to pay $954 and then refinance new devices. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I've been loyal to you guys. You can't work out some type of deal with me like maybe add the current balance to a new balance and just get me new phones and extend our contract another 2 years. I mean I don't understand.

    As a business owner myself I'm very disappointment in the lack of how you guys are willing to work with a customer who has been loyal. Not just myself but my entire family of 6. We have all agreed to pay the balance owed to you guys and leave your service permanently.

We weren't asking to waive the money. In fact we wanted to up sold new devices without having to pay $954 all at once to just get these devices paid off. I feel the customer should always be right and the place of business should always have a option for customer satisfaction. In this case I'm not gonna pay you 1000 to just finance another 2000 for new phones.

    I am terminating my very long term business wireless account with Verizon. I never never experienced such a level of deceit and outright disconcern for customers. Their representatives promised on TWO separate telephone conversations that my total bill with ALL fees, taxes, and made up charges would a specified amount and they billed me 50% more and started taking on fees and charges on top of that. I patiently endured many years of having to waste an hour of my time calling them when out of the blue my plan would change for no reason. This latest situation involved 4 separate calls and THREE HOURS on the phone.

    I understand why so many customers end up taking them to small claims court and why countless reviews have recommended recording all telephone communication with this company. I left AT&T twenty years ago because they conducted business in a very deceitful manner and took advantage of customers. From my experience Verizon has chosen this path as well. What amazes me is how much money carriers spend to acquire customers. If they were simply honest, respectable and reasonable they would retain them. If I treated a single customer in this manner it would be the demise of my business. If there were an honest wireless and/or cable company they would be so successful given the options available today. How Verizon conducts business is simply criminal.

    VZ is much like its commercials... keeps you connected in most places, especially where others don't. However, it is clearly overpriced as it charges you exponentially for its reliability. Pricing is way too much compared to others. Another issue is it's billing dept... it rarely seems to know what is going on promotion-wise and even after receiving a promotion one has to watch the bill like a hawk to make sure it is reflected. All in all good cell service, however too pricey, and lax billing procedures.

As we drove from San Francisco to Salinas for these reasons, my wife's phone malfunctioned. Verizon customer service responded to our call and within the space of less than hour they continuously worked with my wife to reprogram the phone. By the time we were halfway to Salinas, full service had been restored.

    The problem had been caused by my wife's inadvertently using incorrect commands. Verizon could have treated this as "our problem" or charged a fee. They treated it as their problem and remedied it for us without any fee.

The cancellation was confirmed and I saw the UPS tracking that showed it arrived in their returns department in Ft. Worth, TX. Then I receive a bill for the equipment charges as a device payment buyout charge each for 769.99 plus taxes x 2 phones. I call them to see if the charges are going to get fixed. They said it would automatically get fixed when the returns dept processes the returns. The customer service person confirmed that the phones were received and process, but the bill is not adjusted. She said she'll put in a ticket to get it fixed. The bill due date is really close so I call again and they said it could not be fixed, after escalating it up to a supervisor, they adjusted the bill for the equipment buyout charges and the activation fees, but they can't do anything about the taxes.

    They promise it'll get resolved automatically when their system updates. Well, it's now November 13, 2017, and I'm on my 6th call trying to get it resolved. The problem is no one in customer service is allowed to fix anything and they have to escalate a ticket for a reviewer to look into it. So, this is what typically happens when you call. Customer service says it needs to be addressed by FInancial Department to fix the bill. Financial Department says it needs to get resolved by Customer Service because they have to verify I don't owe any money. After a lot of ranting to supervisors, they always agree it's not my fault and they will fix it. Anyway, I still have a past due bill for $116.49 and the due date is approaching again.

    I bought my iPhone 7+ from Verizon because they subsidize it and if I turned in my old iPhone I got a very nice sum. I don't know what the guy's name was that helped me but he knew a little more about the phone than I did. I asked him several questions about the phone, to be fair he was able to answer one of every five I asked and the ones he couldn't answer he would walk over to another salesman and ask him my question, get the answer then come back and tell me. After the third time this happened I just walked over to the other guy and tried talking to him. He would answer my questions but when another customer walked in he left, to help them and me at the mercy of this ignorant translator. It took them over four hours to transfer all the data from my two iPhones to the 7+.

    Because of the difficulty they had I thought it would be prudent to keep my other phones until I was satisfied there were no other issues. Less than 4 hours later my phone froze up. The next day I had 3 employees trying to figure what happened to my phone, I was climbing the corporate ladder from the customer service side. I started off with a salesman, I was then handed off to an assistant manager finally the manager, he finally resolved the issue but not before I got circle jerked around by three guys for another 40 minutes. Again I kept the other phones if there was another problem. Two weeks had passed when I figured it was safe to turn my phone in for the rebate.

    I walk in, I'm the only person besides three salesmen in the store and Mr. 10 Watt approaches me, I tell him I want to turn my old phone in for the rebate. He tells me I have to do it online. Go to the home page find this heading click, on the drop down menu you click this bada bing. I come back a week later, walk in the store, I see Mr. 10 Watt, turn around and leave. Two weeks later I'm back at the store another salesman says the word I need to click on is right next to the unsubscribe word, you know how big that is. I'm in front of my computer and almost done doing everything I need to to get my $400 rebate but when to total comes up it's $70 not $400. I stop right there not wanting to lose out on $300.

    Back to the Verizon store, this time Mr. 150 Watt is working, he tells me, "if you have your stuff with you, I can do everything right now." I tell him it's at home. He then says, "Do it online, then bring it all in and we'll will credit your account with the difference." I finally did it online, had what I needed to get my $330, it had taken me 3 months and 11 trips to the store plus 10 calls to make sure Mr. 10 Watt wasn't working. I thought about it long and hard, do I want to prolong this trip through hell another second, no, when my contract is up I will go to another carrier.

    One sequence I omitted, after I filled out the form online I was suppose to get an email from Verizon, it never came so I called customer help. The woman who answered, did everything for me online but I still needed to go to the store to get the credit. After spending over 5 hours in the store trying to get my data transferred and the phone working properly the first 2 days why didn't the salesman fill out the paperwork for the rebate online for me? Instead I was forced to deal with a babbling idiot, drive numerous times to the store, this was worse than dealing with a call center in Bangalore, India.

    They are ok. I think I'LL look for a better price next year after my contract is up. I don't need anymore than phone, text, and weather. I have a friend with Cricket and he got his phone free, I paid for mine.

    So, while their service coverage are really good you will pay for it. One line with Galaxy S8 10 gigs $170 a month. No rewards for loyalty. Wife was having issues with her phone and got another through another carrier. We didn't have a service contract, but Verizon still changed a $170 early term fee over the $60 still on the phone. Run away as fast as you can from these worthless pieces of garbage.

    Like everyone else I guess, Verizon brags about customer service. Yet, when it comes to have a chance to help customers, they fail to deliver. Automated phone answering service is horrible. Waiting time: "20 minutes or less"!!! at 8:20 AM EST on a Friday. They would not give a direct number for billing department, thus another waiting period. As usual, faithful customers (10+ years) get a lesser treatment (and greater bill) than new ones.

    Untrustworthy, unable to stand behind offers or even what representatives present to you. Each one is different. More than once, time consuming efforts regarding a deal that was advertised and information was incorrect.

    I have a router for my internet. Really bad for getting a signal and no real high speed available. This is one step above dial up and this is all I can get in my area. Also a lot of dead zones here at home.

    Verizon cut my 4G service in my area without notifying me so my Internet signal now rolls from 4G to 3G to 1X. They informed each time I called that I need a signal booster now that I have to buy from them at a cost of $250.00. I think for being a loyal customer they should have sent me a booster for free.

    The reliability is very good, but their customer service absolutely sucks. The prices they charge for phones is nearly outrageous. Because Verizon is so big, they can treat people however they choose.

    I am very satisfied with Verizon services, especially when questions come up that a technician can solve over the phone with explicit directions. When a new router was ordered for my internet system and there was a question about the charge, customer service solved the problem quickly.

    They have great service and very little wait with how they organize their retail stores' customer service workflow. The experience is very organized and their selection is large. Their service is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

    I was on a previous family plan that was wonderful then she passed and we did not have password- so started my own plan not understanding how different plan would be. Purchased a new phone so have 2 now but came to understand I could only have 1 on my account- checked a page for seniors that had a plan that seemed to be better but not active- now I cannot get help by phone, internet nor callback. Website does not recognize my password-zip code- etc though it shows up on my info sheet online.

    I've been with Verizon for years and they have become greedy and ruthless like others. I'm a victim of identity theft and went to purchase a phone from Verizon store. Was told I needed a 4 hundred dollar deposit for a $168.00 phone with 24 mos. financing phone and service. Ummm? Left. Went to Walmart. Spoke with an T Roc rep selling Verizon phones... "Just pay sales tax today." 24 MO. installments for Galaxy S8 of 25.00. Called Verizon for activation and approval. APPROVED. But can't buy a phone Pennsylvania. With a WVA address. Uh? What?

    This all transpired in 3 hours. Is this not the poster for identity theft? And blatant thieves. By the way... My credit score is 724. Karma will be here as soon as she finishes sharpening her nails and drinks her coffee. Pitiful people. And is Verizon handing out phones and phone numbers... To selective people? I wonder if there's money involved in this?? Very sad over someone simply wanting a phone.

    If I could get by with NO STARS - I switched to Verizon after service with another well know company that I had been with for over 30 years. Yes, 30 years! So why did I switch? Verizon put a tower up within 3/4 mile of my home causing interference with my then current cell carrier. So I switched. Now there are MAJOR issues and I'm being told by Verizon that I have to use WIFI calling while at home and that too is an issue since I have CenturyLink which is just as bad as Verizon! Now, I'm told by the county those towers are solely for service to County phones. Nothing can be done since the tower services the county EMS, Fire and Law Enforcement Departments.

    The service had been great for at least 4 years. Now, I'm told the service is beyond poor by Rep's with Verizon and that in order for me to gain acceptable service that I must purchase a $300 netextender to be able to use my phone at home - not only in the home but yard - since the bars are barely showing at all. All avenues have been exhausted and the rep even advised my phone the MAXX 2 is an issue - WELL my son's phone an iPhone 6 also has the same issue. I'm still paying for these phones and is the ONLY reason I have not switched. Seriously Verizon you need to update your coverage maps as in my area it is all dark red and is false advertising!!!! My issue needs resolving and it should not be to purchase anything to correct it!!!!

    Through all my experiences with wireless providers I have tried throughout the years, Verizon has been the best in all aspects for me. The only negative about the service is the costs of service plans phones etc. is much higher. And I really wish it wasn't but I guess you get what you pay for...
