    Why does Verizon have to be so abusive of their customers? They've taken me from being one of their biggest fans to absolutely hating their methods of "taking care" of the customer. The rude attitude, the overcharging, not exchanging supplies that don't work. Is it really worth the bad publicity? I will be extremely vocal as I have been with Verizon for over 25 years and if there was another carrier with good coverage in our area I would leave Verizon immediately. Shame on your company's culture and how you handle us consumers.

    Verizon is not helpful when phone breaks. They send you a replacement thru the mail and the customer is responsible for set up/returns/etc. Trying to contact a local store isn't possible either. They have the local number listed but it sends you somewhere else (mountain standard time). Plans are cheaper but less available reception service. I need it going over the mountain. Had it before changing from US Cellular. Also, doesn't work well in the valley area.

    We were in California about two years ago because of the death of my mother-in-law. My wife was desperately trying to make funeral arrangements and initiate the process of executing the last will. 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. Whenever we have any problem with connectivity anywhere in the world Verizon's customer service staff have been immediately available, patient, and competent. I have actual experience with some of Verizon's competition; and Verizon is much superior in terms of customer service.

    On September 07, 2017 I placed an order for 2 phones on their website, but their shipping department sent the phones to the wrong address so I canceled the order. 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. The charges are for the taxes on the 2 phones I ordered in September. If they were able to refund the order, why isn't taxes part of the refund? Meanwhile, they keep promising me it'll get fixed.

    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.

    After a 45 minute wait to purchase my first iPhone I was very unhappy. With no updates, apologies, communication at all, I went to the desk and asked how much longer the wait would be. After being told I was behind 2 customers (with no apology for the wait) I indicated that no customer should be allowed to stand around with no communication/updates for 45 minutes. I was informed by this manager that he had 5 people on the floor and that everyone had problems. I was further asked "What did I want?". When I replied "A different business model." he seemed offended. I can assure you he was not as offended as I. This guy seems to operate under the assumption that he has a captive audience and his customers should be glad for his meager attention. I remain extremely unhappy with his meager attention.

    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.

    Verizon cut my 4G service in my area without notifying me so my Internet signal now rolls from 4G to 3G to 1X.

    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!!!!

    They lie about usage of data. If you get 2 GB and that is all you need because they don't have "real" unlimited, suddenly you will run out of paid data and have to pay for penalty data or go to the next highest plan, which of course is a better deal, but it won't be 3 GB, which is what you really need, no way, it will be 4 or 5 GB. Then once you go to this "better" plan of say 4 GB and you're on it for say 6 months, suddenly you run out of data again in the middle of the month. Now you never upped your usage from when you started out at 2 GB, but they will swear that you are using that much more.

    I am not the only one it has happened to. You could go to their "unlimited" service and watch your service reduce down to the level of an old dial-up plan when your data gets low if you want, but that will happen every month and it gets old very fast. Yes they are a pretty reliable service, their app is great, though it is a very sales pushy app. Their customer service, on the phone is above par, one of the very best. In person, in the stores, it all depends on who you get, they all try hard. It is the company that is untrustworthy.

    My gripe with Verizon is after all these years FIOS is still not in my area. They are helpful when I call, but I do find it ironic that they have accidentally disconnected me more times over the years than other company. Most times if they say they will call me back they don't. Other than that, I have a feeling most if not all of these companies are the same except for price. They are the only company I have ever used so I have nothing to compare them with.

We tried Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon was the only carrier that was a good enough signal for us to depend on at our location.

    In November of 2012, a 2 year contract was signed with Verizon wireless for service on 2 phones. Approximately 10 months later, we added another line to the existing contract. We purchased a phone from Radio Shack and Radio Shack gave us a Sim Card. We signed nothing, there was no new contract presented to us at the time or sent in the mail afterwards. In November of 2014, I cancelled the agreement with Verizon - the actual contract that I signed 11/2012 in the Verizon store. They pushed back and tried to say we had a contract that started on the date the 3rd line was added. They eventually changed their tune and discontinued billing the initial 2 lines. The 3rd line, however, they continued to bill for. Although we cancelled and there was no new contract, Verizon insisted that there was a contract. I requested to see a copy of this agreement multiple times but no contract was ever provided.

    When pushed on the subject, their response was that it is their policy to begin a new contract when a line is added so it should be assumed that they have one. They did not, would not, or could not provide a signed contract. Their executives held to their position throughout 2 separate better business claims, one where they simply claimed to have a contract but refused to produce it and a 2nd claim where Verizon's representative emailed and provided a hard copy of the contract which was not signed.

    To date, my credit report reflects nonpayment of this "contract" which I understand to be unenforceable due to the fact that it is blank and the vendor cannot produce a valid contract. I'd like Verizon to be required to remove any and all derogatory information from my credit report as well as their records. I feel they have violated the law by pretending to have a valid agreement and attempting to enforce it. When they found they did not have a valid contract, they continued to pretend that they did and to this day are trying to collect money for a contract that does not exist.
