After 4 hours of trying to get help online since they had stopped my fully prepaid cell service I gave up. You can not get help without signing in and filling in info you do not have on hand as well as it won't accept your cell number. They just disconnected. No way to get to your records to help you. Their answer was call....Which you cannot do because you're disconnected on a prepaid phone. I am 73 and don't have the knowledge to do a new phone. Even if you can insert your info it doesn't accept it and won't get you a human to chat with. The site kept timing out a lot and then it is just gone. What a mess Verizon customer service. Nightmare, frustrating doesn't even begin to express them.

SCAMMED! I got a Samsung smart watch when I got my phone because I had to sign a three year contract at $5/month. It included it's own phone line and I was excited to use it at school, as I am a teacher and do not always carry my phone with me. $5/month at 36 months = $180... The watch would have cost $300 outright, so it was a no brainer. About 2 months in, the increased the price to $10/month. Now, less than 6 months later, it has increased to $15/month. Of course, they are not tied to the $5/month price I signed up for, but I am held to my 3 year contract, or pay for the watch... The only reason I got it was because it was less than $200. At full price, I would have gone without it! What a scam! They told me they can increase the price as much as they want, and I am still held to my end of the deal. Guess I have to pay for the watch... $15/month at 36 months = $540!

Verizon is by far the worst customer Service and tech support I have ever felt with. I purchased a brand new iPhone 16 pro max late December and within weeks it stop charging and to jump through hoops to get them to replace it logged in hours and hours on telephone with tech support. Received second iPhone 16 pro max. Within a few weeks same thing happen. Phone would not charge. After again going to the store 2 hours and 45 minute received my third replacement Feb 25 2025 and last week phone started acting up and quit charging again and now the send me a refurbished iPhone in a box with absolutely no bubble wrap, no packing, just the phone and a return label and they expect me to accept this.
I did not purchase a certified like new iPhone. I purchased a brand new iPhone that I paid top dollar for and I want it replaced with a brand new one after being on phone with tech support supervisor he told me that was the only option he could offer. After 1 hour and 27 minutes I finally terminated the call. 20 years with these people and this is how they treat their customers because they don’t need us. They are too big and do not care if they lose a customer of 20 years. I have attached a photo of how the certified pre own was sent to me, no padding whatsoever, I'M SURE THIS DIDN'T GET BANGED AROUND DOING SHIPMENT. PATHETIC.

I am so incredibly angry at Verizon Wireless! All I want to do is order a new phone. No one at customer service has any clue what they are doing. I first attempted to order a phone on April 15 - 9 days ago!!! I checked off the boxes and signed to authorize the purchase and then paid for the taxes during this call. For some reason, the order did not go through. The person I was on the phone with had to pull in a supervisor. I again had to pay for the taxes 2 more times. I received a message saying the transaction was complete. All of this took over an hour on the phone. Over the course of the next 7 days I have received multiple emails and texts stating my order needs to be completed otherwise the order will be canceled.
I have literally been on the phone with about 5 or 6 people over the past week for a total of over 7 hours and I am getting conflicting information including being told the order has successfully gone through stating I will receive my phone on April 20, was also told by someone else I will receive my phone on April 22 and the last person said I will receive an email today saying the phone shipped and I should receive it tomorrow or the next day. I have also been told by someone else that they see my order is still being processed. I have been told but yet another person that the taxes were not paid. Online it said the shipment of my phone is being delayed. I received phone calls from 3 different Verizon people all telling me different things.
One person was speaking with me for over 1/2 hour and then they disconnected me and despite having my phone number, no one called me back. I was also instructed by someone else to go into a Verizon store to get it straightened out. I did this and was greeted by a worker with an obnoxious attitude and told the order is in process and they can’t do anything - I need to call Verizon which is what I have done for 9 days and have gotten absolutely nowhere!!! I just want my phone and no one seems to know which end is up or what they are doing. Verizon has horrible customer service and they are incompetent. I would advise anyone to find a different cell phone company so they do not get the run around like I have gotten for 9 days with still no phone in hand and no reliable update!!!!

Had a great experience with Anthony at the Verizon store in Havertown. Anthony worked it out that, with promotions and discounts, we got two new phones and are paying less per month than we were before. He also set up and prepared our phones beautifully. We couldn't be happier.

As a small business owner, I need internet equipment to work well and seamlessly. We just had Verizon Fios installed on Friday and I'm hopeful our upload and download at a snails pace will be corrected. I've been a loyal Verizon home customer since the 1990s---a long time. It didn't occur to me when setting up a first business studio that Verizon would offer anything but the best. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The equipment that was recommended and delivered in November of 2023 was not what was described. I thought it was simply a problem because of our soundproof podcast room. That was not the case. Lesson learned---the equipment just didn't deliver the upload and download speeds expected. I'm still loyal to Verizon but my trust in their competence has decreased significantly. Charity S

Hello! I have been a Verizon customer for 23 years. Many times I have wanted to switch. I am on my last legs with my last calls. When I checked My Verizon account and saw I had 2 phone lines. I was not informed when I got home internet, that a new line was assigned for internet. After 5 calls to customer service asking why I had 2 lines and could it be removed? Each representative said they would remove the #. Only until I spoke to Grace and then supervisor, Len, was it explained to me needing a line for internet.
Verizon needs to train staff better, stay on top of a customer of 23 years and why she has called more than 5x?? I hope my future contact is better, if not another service will be hired. Shame on Verizon to waste my time when one phone call could have answered my question!!

They steal!!! I was traveling by plane from the US Virgin Islands to the mainland. Verizon charged me for a Travel Pass because the airplane took a route THROUGH the Bahamas. They sent me a text saying “Welcome to the Bahamas, your travel pass is activated”, when I wasn’t even there!! When I called to ask them to remove it, they LIED and said they would, but of course never did. They are liars and a very unscrupulous company. When I call back again, they will either refund the bogus travel pass or cancel all of my lines.

I have been a longstanding customer of Verizon Wireless for over 10 years. I have a business account with 5 lines on it. Recently, I was mislead by false advertising- illegal. They claimed a free iPhone 16pro with trade in- no problem. So, I was told they would have to add an extra line to get free deal. I agreed, not being told that I would be charged an extra monthly charge $59.12 now. That’s after the $23.16 monthly credit for 36 months. That’s fraud, class action lawsuit coming. I’m talking to lawyers now!!

Ok, I switched to VW 5 days ago, 4 lines. The Cell and data service stopped on 1 of my phones. On Ester.... No shops are understandably open. The 611 is 'reached us out of business hours'. I tried to chat, what a nightmare! No help at all, I was transferred from 1 rep to another 6(!) times: had to go thru the personal verification every time, and.... the last 'rep' just stopped chatting. I've waited for 15 mins, no response, none. Wasted 2.5 hours of my life for nothing. Please do yourself a favor - find another provider with the basic understanding what a customer service should be in the USA. Thank you.

After 23 years on Verizon Wireless, I have reached an impasse. After the company's CR line totally screwed up my plan and promotional cell order, I tried to enlist the help of the Brea store. Over the years, the Brea store was always the go to for upgrades and solving problems. Not anymore! When I went in the Brea store this week, I was informed that they could not help me and that the CR line would have to handle the problem. When I asked how do I solve problems that the CR line kept introducing due their lack of skills and produced screenshots, the young lady told me there was nothing the store could do. This forced me to to contact the CEO executive office. What was stunning was the complete lack of empathy the young lady displayed. It was obvious she just wanted me out of there.
The executive office analyst got back to me immediately and was very helpful. Unfortunately, I have to wait for system processes to complete before things may or may not go back to normal. We shall see when I get my next bill. While my plan change should be successful finally, I am still without the promotional free phone upgrade the advertising promised and am committed to a retail installment contract I was forced sign in proceeding with the process. I am hoping this will be resolved next week.
Verizon and others are trying to automate the plan change and upgrade process completely. The bigger problem is when this process goes wrong as it did initially for me, your solution resource is the CR line. In the case of Verizon, they moved it overseas to the Philippines. While the Pilipino operators are very nice (their nature), they have to put you on hold for ten minutes at a time, every time they go to make changes in the system. It sounds like they need a good deal more training. When trying to change my plan to the new advertised plan, I ended up with four different versions on my account screens. My attempt to add an upgraded phone ended with a retail installment contract with no explanation of how the upgrade promotion process works. All of this took over five hours.
Approximately, two or three years ago I tried to change my plan to an unlimited plan. Every time CR made a change, the system changed things back to my old plan by the time I got a bill. After several months and numerous phone calls, I gave up. Therefore, this nightmare is round two. In talking to my retiree friends at the golf course I play at every week, I found out that I am not the only one with Verizon problems. This is why some people are cancelling. I did find one person that had a good upgrade experience at another Verizon store. He walked in and they upgraded his plan, phone and transferred data. He walked out with nothing to do, but use the equipment and pay the bill. This is what my earlier experiences were like Verizon's stores.
I always loved Verizon for their great reception and excellent customer service (23 years). This has all changed with their process automation and overseas CR. The old Verizon is gone. While this mess was progressing through its phases, I didn't get a bit of the slightest empathy from any of their employees. The worst was the young lady at the Brea Verizon store, whose attitude bordered on contempt. Since we don't have dependable resources from Verizon, we are starting to look for a replacement vendor. T Mobile keeps getting recommended thus far.

1 Star. Beware of Deceptive Sales Practices at Verizon Thomasville NC. I feel completely misled and taken advantage of by the Verizon store in Thomasville. I purchased a phone outright—Or so I thought. What the sales reps conveniently failed to explain was that my "trade-in credit" was actually being spread over a three-year period. That means when I recently switched to Spectrum, I was hit with a bill for over $400 for a phone I was told I had bought outright. Had I known this, I NEVER would have traded in my old phone. I would’ve simply bought both devices at full retail. This kind of omission is unacceptable and borders on predatory. The service is expensive, and the sales approach feels sleazy and misleading. Save yourself the headache and the money—Switch to Spectrum or literally any other provider. Verizon at this location will tell you anything to close a sale.

If I could give -5 I could. The service is great. Love the home internet box. BUT they double charge for ALL UPGRADES, PHONES, AND SERVICE. Just upgraded phones, paid off old phones, paid upgrade fee. Have been charged twice for upgrade fee and phone payoff! Twice! And maybe someday they will refund it. Maybe... they will refer it to another department and sorry, no, you cannot have that in writing.

I activated 5 lines with Verizon. I wanted the $25 plan for each phone. The customer service rep assured me that's not a problem then activated the lines on $40 plans and added $10 perks that I never authorized. They couldn't set up my military discount. I was told 2 phones had equipment charges of $8.66 because that was the promotion, but come to find out they are charging me $11.39 per phone.
Verizon employees lie to get a sale, so be very cautious. I will never buy Verizon or give a referral to Verizon ever again. I'm still in my 30 day trial period so I'm returning my phones and because they lied to me, I will not pay any kind of restocking fee. That's ridiculous, it was their mistake from the beginning. You can't charge clients for your mistakes. You can't lie to your clientele. It's bad business. Do not go with Verizon. Check out other carriers. You will save money and you really won't know a difference unless you live in an under populated area. VERIZON HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OUT OF ALL THE CARRIERS! Don't waste your time or money.

Avoid Verizon’s Store at 712 Kingwood Drive, TX – Unauthorized Changes & Costly Unresolved Issues. In February 2025, I visited this store to inquire about a possible phone number change. Instead, I experienced: Unauthorized Line Added: A new line was added to my account without consent, increasing my bill. Incorrect Device Entry: Staff used an EMEI number for a device I do not own (listed as a camera), complicating my account. Costly Service Changes: My plan was altered to fewer features without explanation, raising my bill—and after attempts to correct this. to over $200/month for one phone.
Failed Resolution Attempts: Staff redirected me to customer service instead of resolving issues. A store representative (identified as a trainer) claimed "100% satisfaction" but refused to admit fault so this could be corrected. Pattern of Issues: Later learned a friend experienced similar unauthorized changes at this location weeks earlier, suggesting a pattern and recurring problems. Verizon Corporate: Reverse unauthorized charges, restore my original plan, credit my trade-in as you offered, and investigate this store’s practices. To Customers: Proceed with caution. This store’s actions caused financial harm and ignored accountability.

I have been in a billing dispute for almost 2 years now.

I want to thank the employee at VZN Fraud Dept for saving me money after providing horrible service when I was investigating what turned out to be fraud (possibly internal fraud--how many data breaches has VZN suffered? Customers should research this before opening an account with VZN.). Customer service and the fraud department have very poor communication. They are incapable of explaining issues to their customers. They spend more time trying to avoid saying the wrong things so their company does not take accountability when internal fraud occurs.
Instead of treating a loyal customer of 17 years with respect, the Fraud Dept. representative listened to what I said then rephrased everything I said into a statement that I did not make. Then she argued with me and became aggressive. She did not provide any information or details, she did not assist me at all. With the amount of money I have spent with VZN over the past 17 years, I expect your employees to roll out a red carpet when I call for assistance to investigate FRAUD that is likely internal. Thank you for helping me save money by motivating to me to find a wireless carrier.

Glitchy low budget website and absolutely pathetic customer service. I signed up for a $100/Mo Travel pass option before going out of the country for two weeks.

I called and disputed the charges on my return, and an client service specialist told me she was waiving all the daily charges. Then 5 days late my bill got auto-paid still with the daily charges.

Verizon Wireless is very good at lying, betraying, defrauding, duping customers with false promises. That is exactly that they did to me. First they lied to me that there will be increase in pricing when they duped me to sign up for mobile service. Then few months later comes the price hike. Lie # 1. Then they gave some promotional credit and clearly there was no mention that I will be asked to pay back if I canceled service in 12 months. Lie # 2. Then I cancel service as I have had dead spots at work and their customer service has been horrendous.
After I disconnect service they assured me I'm not responsible for that charge except phones that I owe money on. I call back a week later, nope, they backed away. Weeks of frustration. Then supervisor spent with me 1.5 hour to assure me that they are giving me 50% off on the bill to offset that charge. I call back few days later. They denied completely right to my face.

Worst customer service I have ever seen. The entire year+ I've been using Verizon I have never been able to get ahold of any customer service agents via the phone or internet chat, so I end up having to go into a store, where they usually fix the problem. Today, 4/3/25, I get a message from Verizon saying I had used up all of my mobile Hotspot and that it would renew on 4/3/25. I always get this messages when my plan renews and the mobile Hotspot usually comes right back on, cuz, you know, same day. However, while I was in the middle of doing homework on my computer (running off of my Hotspot) and I got this message, the Hotspot completely went out and has not come back on.
I called all of the Verizon customer service numbers, where an automated dude led me around in circles, refused me the option to speak to a live representative, and hung up on me. So I tried chatting with an agent online. The first chat I got started disconnected almost immediately and every time I tried to restart it or make a new chat I was told there was an internal error and I should try again. After hours of this, I went to the Verizon store, where, after waiting in line, I was told there was nothing they could do to help me. One of the managers dialed a customer service number in my phone and hit 0 a bunch of times and hold music started playing. I am home from the store and have yet to be answered. Verizon clearly doesn't care about their customers at all, and the second I get paid I'm switching to another service. Verizon is pathetic.

Verizon’s promotions for gift cards cannot be trusted. I became a customer last Dec because Verizon was offering free iPhone 16 Pro plus gift cards, ranging from $100 to $300, if you met certain requirements. I met all the requirements, according to the sales rep who helped me complete my purchase over the phone. It took several months after several phone calls and visits to a Verizon store to get the $100 gift cards. My plan was also eligible for a $300 gift card, which Verizon will never give me because they say that my purchase did not qualify for the obscure reason that the sales rep, who made the purchase for me, failed to add the coupon in the shopping cart. Now, how would I have known that? The sales rep works for Verizon, therefore, Verizon should rectify the situation because it was their employee’s fault. I am writing this review to tell people not to fall for Verizon’s sweet deals.

Switched from ATT to Verizon on December 22, 2024 due to a $300 rebate offered for switching carriers. Everything was done online through Verizon. I verified that I qualified for the rebate with my agent. We received our 3 new lines and sent our old phones to Verizon for credit. They received our 3 phones and were accessed on January 9. I filed for our rebate with the code I was given. After a few weeks, we hadn't received anything other than the confirmation email that they had received my submission. I reached out to a Verizon agent and was assured that everything was good and I should receive my rebated delivered to my email in approxiately 5 days.
It has now been 2 weeks so I reached out again yesterday and was informed that they were sorry, but my rebate had been denied due to our phones being activated after the cutoff date for the rebate. We were up and running with our new phone within 2 weeks if not sooner from the date of purchase. I explained that I had screenshots from one of their agents that it was approved and would be available to us within 5 business days. The new agent informed me that was all they could do, we did not qualify and we would not get the rebate. The agent ended the chat and would not respond anymore.

The Verizon Customer Service Side is Absolutely Horrible. I switched from AT&T 6 months ago and I’ve had nothing but issues from product, service, & billing. The most recent issue was billing taking money I didn’t authorize. I went online to schedule a payment arrangement and the app quickly switched/glitched and took money from my checking account. When I asked for a reversal of payment I was told it takes 7 business days to reverse. Hell it took you milliseconds to snatch the money I didn’t authorize! I absolutely hate how Verizon lacks accountability and professionalism! I’m switching to another carrier ASAP!

The promised discount. Didn't get it. Messaged several times. They kept sending me to other reps. One even stopped helping. Last one said they sent email about me losing discount? As I changed my plan??? Even though I have proof of changed amount guaranteed in the Verizon app. Along with my bank statement showing a higher amount. 16 years been a customer. What a joke.

This company lures people in with good sounding deals, and offers of 5g WiFi through towers. I was interested and googled then and they showed up at my door and I signed up because I was very impressed. But this company is the equivalent of Temu, in fact I think Temu maybe even more honest this company. To start, we switched from Cox because paying for 300$ for internet was insane, this sounded better and came with the offer of 5G towers and Netflix and HBO for 10$ (we had to wait a month before it let me activate it BTW).
We mildly close to the tower so it seemed like a no brainer. But my god the lag is crazy terrible and I can’t even play Roblox, maybe people who have Verizon just post on social media and not do anything else. It turned out they gave me an old router, a new customer they gave an old router to start. We ordered the new router and we were waiting for it to get here until it got held up and then returned to sender because Verizon is absolutely so dog water that sent the new router to a random business. HOW DID THEY EVEN PICK THIS ADDRESS THEY SENT IT TO? Do Verizon employees just close their eyes and point to a random location in the map to send other people's routers to???? And we called to find out why did they send it to a random address and we got sent to a third party who doesn’t know that a Unit number is an apartment number.
They then said they couldn’t send us the new router to our correct address because they don’t have it and they have to wait to send the router and because today is Friday, they refuse to process the router until Monday were. I have to call them again! The upside is that I don’t have to pay for internet a random business that they selected, so WOOHOO. They tried to bribe me to not shut off my internet by purchasing an iPhone through them. WHY IS THIS THE BEST TIME AND PLACE TO TRY TO GET MORE OF MY MONEY WHEN THEY CAN'T EVEN DO THE ONE THING RIGHT. This all could’ve been avoided by actually giving me theater version of the router.

I deeply regret switching my business lines to Verizon. My experience has been nothing short of frustrating, primarily due to the misleading and unprofessional behavior of an agent named Carlos ** at the MacArthur Blvd Corporate Store in Irving, TX. Carlos assured me that all three of our traded-in devices would qualify for the $1,000 trade-in promotion. However, only one device received the credit. He claimed he submitted paperwork for a manual adjustment, but months later, I found out that the other two devices never received the promo credit at all. When I returned to the store, Carlos pretended not to know what I was talking about. After some pressure, he admitted his mistake and promised to fix the issue.
Fast forward to weeks later, and I received a bill for over $1,000. When I reached out to Carlos for clarification, he took no responsibility and falsely claimed he had told me there would be a chargeback once the promo credit was applied—this was a complete lie. My sister also spoke with him and experienced his rude and dismissive attitude. It is clear that Verizon’s lack of accountability and poor customer service, from the store agent to the management, is unacceptable. I will be canceling my business account and returning to my previous provider. I strongly advise others to avoid this Verizon store at all costs. #PoorService #MisleadingPromotions #VerizonFail

Take a close look at the ratings, so many people are posting about Verizon. This is not just one person complaining about their service. For some reason, people feel comfortable with the Verizon name but the reality is there are so many other companies, that are lesser known, but try so much harder for your business. Verizon can start by having customer service people, whose job is to be talking on a phone, to know the English language. I understand they get people from other countries because it is cheaper, but they need to realize that "Cheaper" means worse service to their clients. And this lack of service does not end on the phone.
In 19 years with Verizon, I have yet to be in a Verizon store in which I did not get an attitude like I am the moron because I do not know the latest technology. In addition, I bought a cover for my phone, that was made in China, that cost at most, fifty cents to make and yet they charged me $50 which was a complete rip off.

A one star is being generous. Received text message "keep your current plan and get iPhone 16 on us ($830 in value). When you trade in any phone from Apple, Samsung, or Google, any condition guaranteed." Went to the store today to "trade in" an iPhone 12 for an iPhone 16. The first question I was asked was did the sales associate tell you how much your trade in was worth? It was two days prior so I said "I don't remember".
Red flags should have gone up immediately when they had me sign first that I would pay 36 installments on the new phone. I asked what about the trade in value of the phone. Their answer was that the system doesn't recognize a trade in now. I was told that it would take two hours to transfer all my data over to my new phone so go out and run some errands. The problem this caused was that I had a meeting later tonight and it would put me close to being late for it. They already started the swap, so I went out and came back an hour later and the phones were just finishing up. In a hurry, they put on the new Otterbox and the screen protector I asked for. I paid the bill for the case and taxes that were due. I started to get up and one thing that struck me funny was the sales associate commented "this phone is now mine" (my old phone).
The sales rep printed off the receipt, folded it in half, and put it between the boxes (Another red flag should have gone off). In a hurry to get home so I could get to my meeting, I didn't look over the bill to see if I got a credit for my phone. Looking over it now after my meeting there is nothing for the phone that I thought was going to be a "trade in".
Overall, their text message is misleading, their sales associates lied knowing that they wouldn't be giving me a credit and feel that they stole my property! I wasn't expecting a lot for a "trade in" valve, but they now took a phone that I paid for. (To me this should be like trading in your old car when you buy a new one, you don't get much for it, but "usually" you get something for it).
As a veteran, one of our mottos was integrity first. Currently, this company has zero. It's too bad that these companies have a monopoly because they know they can get away with this because they all do it.

Worst business. I was with Verizon nearly 10 years!. Biggest mistake! I wasn’t paying too close of attention to my account but Verizon steals and are fraud!! Verizon was charging me twice on my old account and my new Verizon card both. I reported it to my bank and Verizon agreed to return the payments that it had charged me twice. I had called them many many times and waited on the phone for 1+ hour just to speak to an associate about my issue. Each time they said that my account info was updated and my balance was corrected and confirmed multiple times that the account had no balance. Then the next month they double charged me again on both cards! I went through this process for a couple months and eventually switched out and moved to a different provider.
Soon as I left Verizon they started sending me bills and demanding the payments that they had approved to return to the bank and were basically asking me to pay the charges on my old account even though they were billing me on my card. In the meantime I paid off my Verizon card and closed my account. While with Verizon I purchased a gaming device and a joystick. They billed me the joystick that I paid off on my Verizon card but NEVER sent me the joystick. They have now damaged my credit because I didn’t allow them to steal from my old account!!.

My name is J.R. For over two years, I’ve been a Verizon customer. But after what happened today, I need to warn others. The Payment That Vanished. On February 21, I paid $255 to cover a past-due bill through Verizon’s payment plan. I used my debit card to avoid issues, since their system kept trying (and failing) to pull money from a bank account that I am in the process of closing. I contacted Verizon within an hour of the start of this issue, and a Verizon chat agent assured me everything was fixed. But on February 27, Verizon shut off my service. No calls. No texts. When I called to ask why, four different agents over 1 hour and 41 minutes told me to pay again or set up another payment plan. One even said: “Your $255 paid your future bill – not the overdue one.”
The Runaround. I felt trapped. My mom passed away last September, and I’d been handling her estate. The stress made it hard to fight, but I kept explaining: “I paid what I agreed.” “This is a clerical error and your end. I don’t understand why I need to set a payment arrangement for something that is not due.” Agents transferred me like a hot potato. One tried charging me $10 just to talk about fixing their error. Another claimed I owed $263.69 “to reconnect service” – the money that is not yet due.
Sharif to the Rescue (Sort Of). Finally, I reached Sharif in billing. He actually listened. Here’s what he fixed that day: Restored my service immediately. Waived all late/reconnect fees. Found my missing $25/month student discount (gone since Sept. 2024). Spotted overcharges on my “free” iPhone 14 and Galaxy phone promos. But Sharif couldn’t fix everything. He had to file tickets to get back: $150+ from six months of missing student discounts. Refunds for phone charges that should’ve been $0/month
The Unfinished Business. Verizon’s mistakes cost me time, money, and peace of mind. Worst parts: Student Discount Ghosted: I re-verified my ASU enrollment in Aug. 2024 via ID.me. Verizon still dropped my discount. Phones ≠ Free: My iPhone 14 Plus ($24.99/month) and Galaxy S20 Ultra ($17.91/month) were supposed to be $0 under promo deals. Bills show I’ve been overcharged since February 2024. Grief Tax: Dealing with this while mourning my mom made everything harder.
My Plea to Verizon. Sharif promised a follow-up call on March 5. As I wait, I pray that Verizon to:✅ Refunds all overcharges
✅ Apologizes for the stress
✅ Trains staff to FIX problems – not push payment plans
To the BBB. I’m sharing this because no one should face 4 transfers and a payment arrange for money not yet due to resolve a billing error. Verizon’s system failed me, but Sharif gave me hope. Final Thought: Companies mess up. What matters is how they make it right. Verizon, you’ve got my money. Now earn back my trust.

First off they no longer support their own version of messages app. Unfortunately Verizon made me switch to Google Messenger for texts and I dislike it. If a rep helps you with a payment they charge but the rep that helped you doesn't get the extra $5. Verizon needs to be audited. Please looks elsewhere for phone service. I have 1 more to pay off my phone then I'm switching ASAP.

From start to finish, Verizon business customer service has been the worst experience I have ever had. They regularly hang up on you, are unable to process simple requests. They charge unfair and unnecessary fees and if you try to call and work through those issues, they hang up over and over again. If they promise to have a supervisor call you, they are lying. They have never called me back when they say they will, so essentially it is to just get you off the phone. I would recommend that you go with any other service other than Verizon.

Just trying to update auto pay credit card information is impossible. The app never works. The business app takes you in circles asking for all your information, login, password, two part authentication and just keeps taking you in circles. I call the local store to change the information because I can't do it online because of their screwed up app that has not worked in over a year. The store can't do it over the phone but they gave me a phone number to call so I called it and they can't take the information or change the information either but want to walk me through the app which I know won't work because I already tried walking through it with them a year ago for the same problem that is still not fixed. I just gave up and told them I will just go into my local store when I have time and do it. Verizon you need to get your act together and fix your online app.

Verizon has tacked on charges to a closed account and is abusing the account by creating penalty fees that didn't exist. Their contracts are misleading and devious to customers. If an account is closed, why would they continue to charge for a service that shouldn't exist. We received a billing total and after contacting them concerning this cancelled account, they added another $100 for a disconnection fee and late payment and placed into their collection department so they can start adding charges for a closed account. Total abusive behavior on Verizon as thieves. Since when can a company run its own collection department, just so it can abuse a cancelled account.
Verizon is a terrible company, just like Comcast/Xfinity. Why are communication companies allowed to rip people off without the FCC getting involved is beyond me. FCC needs to do some regulating on abusive communication companies like these 2. Folks reading this, please avoid both Verizon and Comcast/Xfinity due too mishandling of paying customers. Misleading contracts which they knowingly create to take as much money from customers as possible. Desperate evil communication companies need to be federally regulated for these actions and contracts.

Do not use Verizon. We changed from Spectrum because their ads promised it was the cheapest... not at all. We have been back to the store 8 times.

Then I get an email that "I had successfully signed out of auto bill." NOT true.
We just went in the store, they told us we had to call 611, then we call 611 and they tell us we have to go into the store. After 35 minutes on the phone with different people, they tell me the checking account information was not correct and now we have to pay in cash or cashier's check until August.

Verizon Wireless has taken the art of nickel-and-diming customers to a whole new level. They’ve got a nasty habit of quietly adding “perks” to customers’ accounts. You sign in one day, and—surprise!—you’re suddenly subscribed to a perk service you never wanted. It’s one thing if these were genuinely free trials with clear opt-in consent, but no—Verizon prefers the sneaky route, silently tacking these services onto bills and hoping customers either don’t notice or can’t be bothered to go through the hassle of removing them. And let’s talk about the removal process: calling customer service turns into a game of “pass-the-buck” between representatives, all while they try to upsell you something else.
This isn’t an occasional mistake—it’s a blatant, systemic practice. Just look at the number of complaints online about the “Cloud Storage” service mysteriously appearing on accounts or the so-called “Verizon Mobile Protect” insurance slipping in unnoticed. If customers wanted these features, they would ask for them. But Verizon’s strategy is clear: add services without consent, make the cancellation process frustrating, and bank on customers overlooking a few extra dollars on their bill each month. Multiply that by millions of customers, and it’s a cash grab of epic proportions.
Verizon, if your services were truly valuable, you wouldn’t have to resort to such deceptive tactics. Instead, you treat loyal customers like walking ATMs, hoping they won’t notice the small print tricks you pull. It’s dishonest, unethical, and frankly insulting. If you’re a Verizon customer, check your bill religiously. Chances are, you’re paying for something you never signed up for.

I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for over 15 years. In that 15 year period I have had few if any issues up until recently. At the end of September I chose to take advantage of Verizon's promo "Trade in ANY iPhone in ANY condition and we'll pay off your trade and upgrade you to the newest iPhone 16 on us." My issues began immediately after, first the sales associate accidentally made a mistake and processed the upgrade as a generic trade in. When I got my November bill I noticed that the bill was $476.85 MORE than it should be. I know this because it was listed as a "one time charge" on my bill.
I went back to where I bought the phone and spoke with a different sales associate who helped me out and told me that it was not processed properly and that's why it was done as such. I called Verizon and spoke with an associate and was told I had two options. Option #1 I pay that extra $476.85 and as a result I would receive it as a credit on my next few billing cycles. Or option #2 I cancel my automatic payment and just pay my balance (minus $476.85) but as a result I'd risk losing my auto pay discount. I chose to pay and receive the credit.
A few weeks later when I got my December bill I noticed that I had no credit like I was told I would receive and once again called and explained the circumstances. Once again I was told I would receive the credit in a 24-48 hours. I waited 5 days (3 business days and the weekend) before again calling with my ticket number and explaining once again I still did not have my credit. After again waiting another this time 4 business days and not getting my credit I reached out again and once again was told they would look into it. Finally again after waiting a few more days I called again and was given the excuse that I would not receive the credit because I "traded in the device early and you need to make at least 1/2 the payments" in this case 18/36. I made a total of 22 payments so I met and exceeded the minimum. I was then told I would instead get a $1,000 credit paid out over 36 payments.
Today I received my February bill, and this time I was given a one time charge of $355. I have not traded in the iPhone. And the second line on my account I bought the phone outright back in August and did not trade in any devices. So once again I was forced to contact Verizon about this charge for no reason. I was told it would be resolved in 24-48 hours. I was also never told what this charge was supposed to allegedly be for. I can say that if this is not resolved within 48 hours then I will be cancelling my plan with Verizon immediately and will never return to them as a customer again.

After 25+ years as a Verizon customer I made the decision to switch to another carrier.

I left and decided to change carriers which I did the next day. (Much to my surprise I am saving $50 a month for the same exact plan but my decision to leave was not about price.) After switching, I called Verizon customer service to request a refund of the $300+ credit on my account - was told he would process it and to expect a check within 6-10 business days.
Following up another 800# agent told me it takes 3 weeks and when I asked why he became agitated and when I asked to speak with someone else he elevated his agitation to rudeness. I filed a complaint with the BBB, Executive Office contacted me by email and after answering a couple of questions she replied in writing I would receive a check and it is up to 3 weeks but usually much sooner. Within a couple of hours of that email I received another email stating my refund is processed and in a week I would receive a prepaid MasterCard.
I contacted the Executive Office agent, she told me more blah blah blah and I said I want a check, I never paid a bill with a credit card. 2 days later apparently the Executive Officer agents have no clout and she could not tell me if they would cancel the MC and get me a check and she would be out for a few days. I concluded the Exec Office is no more than a slight upgrade of regular customer service personal. I resorted to filing a complaint with the FCC and my state Dept of Consumer Protection.

I have never been more frustrated with a telecom company than I am with Verizon. I am a customer here for 3 years. I recently tried to transfer my number from one family plan to another within Verizon, and the amount of trouble I had to go through was absolutely unimaginable. What should have been a simple line transfer turned into a multi-day nightmare filled with endless phone calls, system errors that even Verizon couldn’t figure out, and a customer service process so broken that it left me in tears.
I spent almost an entire day on the phone, only to be repeatedly disconnected. And each time, I had to explain my entire situation from scratch to a new representative. There was no continuity, no proper case handling—just an endless cycle of frustration. Even after a full day, they still couldn’t figure out what was wrong. The issue spilled over into the next day, and guess what? They still didn’t have an answer.
This experience wasn’t just inconvenient—it was emotionally draining. I couldn’t focus on work due to the stress, which cost me both time and money. All I wanted was a simple line transfer, yet Verizon turned it into a customer service disaster. If a telecom giant like Verizon can’t even handle a basic internal transfer smoothly, how can they expect customers to trust them for anything more complex? The lack of efficiency, accountability, and basic empathy is shocking. I deeply regret choosing Verizon and wouldn’t recommend them to anyone who values their time, sanity, or money.

I followed the step by step, seemingly simple directions for setup. 16 hours later, still setting up. I stopped it and tried again, only a few things transferred to the new phone. It kept saying I had the wrong password. I went to the Steamtown Mall Verizon because I happened to be near there. The worker insisted I pay him $50 to set it up. NO, I bought the phone yesterday.

He said he could not (would not) finish the transfer, but when I get home and the phones go back to wifi, it will work.
I asked him how long, since I had already been working on this for 21 hours. He said he doesn’t know, has no idea. I came home, 3 hours later, nothing has changed on the phone screen. I got the receipt out of the box, getting ready to return the phone, and found that the new phone receipt has someone else’s name and phone number on it! That’s why the password is incorrect!

I've been a customer with Verizon for numerous years. I purchased a new iphone from a vendor on ebay and activated with Verizon on November 23rd, 2024 to replace the iphone 12 that activated previously. I was told that I would have to wait 60 days before Verizon would unlock the esim. Upon 60 days, I contacted them to unlock the esim. Customer service was having issues unlocking and escalated a request to technical support to unlock the esim. The next day I received (Case #**) the following:
"Your request to have your device unlocked has been reviewed. Unfortunately, your device is not eligible to be unlocked at this time. Your device is scheduled to automatically unlock 60 days after your purchase/activation date. If you purchased your device as a part of a monthly payment agreement, you have the option of paying the remaining balance off from a Verizon Retail Store and resubmitting the unlock request prior to the scheduled unlock date."
So, the next day 1/24/25, I called in once again and went through the entire process to explain my case requesting the esim be unlocked (Case #**) only to receive the very same aforementioned response. I then proceeded to call yet again on 1/25/25 and go through the very same process. However, after informing customer service that I was about to report this entire incident, the case was escalated instantly and I was transferred to a technical support specialist. I spent appx. 1.5 hrs with this person and they were "apparently" having trouble in their attempt to rectify. So, they requested that I delete my SIM card and power down my iphone to reset and reactivate the esim.
I was reasonably concerned that this would reactivate a 60 day hold on my account but was told not to worry about. So, once this was completed, the technical support called me and advised that he could not unlock and that I had three choices. The first is to wait another 60 days for the new hold to release (exactly what I worried about), The second was to completely wipe my iphone which I am not about to do. Finally, the third was for him to submit yet another ticket requesting the esim to be unlocked. I believe this all speaks for itself. These are unethical business tactics and they are also clearly violating the 60 day hold period for carriers. I would really appreciate your assistance in helping me with this incredibly frustrating situation.
UPDATE: I received a call from the Verizon executive team this morning 1/27/2025. She was extremely rude and threatened to hang up if I would not turn off the recording on my iPhone (Which is recorded). She then proceed to tell me that they would not release my SIM because I purchased it from a 3rd party vendor (Ebay). I advised that the phone was new and unlocked when received. It did not become carrier locked until I activated with Verizon. She continued to state that Verizon will not unlock the phone and that no matter how many times I submit a complaint to the FCC or any consumer advocacy agency that the answer would be the same. I think this all speaks for itself on what kind of company we are dealing with!

Verizon does not have a customer service number so you can speak with someone. You can either go into a Verizon store or use their chat feature. The chat feature takes for some reason a couple hours due to Long waiting periods in between each sentence. I think it's unheard of that a cell phone company does not provide phone support of any kind. This is the worst part, I ordered a product through their website and immediately returned it the same day. I shipped product on the 29th of December 2024 and received confirmation that they received it on the 5th of January. I was told I would have to wait until the 18th of January 2025 to receive a refund.
I called today due to never receiving a refund and again spent an additional 2 hours using their chat feature with the end result that I would need to wait another 5 to 7 business days. I think it's incomprehensible that a company that has received their product back does not issue a refund until a month later. I also ordered a different product in October and canceled it before they shipped it to me. I find out this month they are telling me that I never returned the product. I don't understand how I can return a product that I canceled and never received. I now need to go to the Verizon store to talk to someone.
It needs to be noted that I have spent at least 10 hours on their chat feature trying to deal with these two issues. My bill is showing that I need to pay for a phone that they never shipped and that I canceled before they shipped it to me. I still have not been reimbursed over $600 for a product that they have had for the last 30 days in their possession. If anyone is thinking about using Verizon services I will tell you to absolutely do not use their services.

Dropped phone calls, missed or seriously delayed texts. Hours and hours and hours on the phone with all levels of tech support. Absolutely no help. Thought getting a new iPhone and iPad would help. Not so at all. More hours and hours and hours with tech support. I suspect it has something to do with the area I’m in, which is NOT in the boonies but suburban, in the 5th largest city in the US. Regardless, run don’t walk away from Verizon here. I’m stuck now as I got that new iPhone and iPad on them, fool that I was. How incredibly sad for all of us.

I arrived 15 minutes early for my 6 PM appointment at the 2 50 one N. Federal Highway location in Ft Lauderdale. Walk-ins were being seen before me at 6:05 PM. I received a text that said I was next in line. At 6:15 they were still calling walk-ins up for service. I decided to go sit in my car and wait for my text to be seen. As soon as I got in my car, I received a text that said my appointment has been canceled. There’s a reason I made an appointment so that I wouldn’t have to wait any longer than possible. I would not recommend this location to anybody who is expecting decent customer service.

I guess I will be one of many 1 star reviews. On Customer service today for over an hour speaking to 5 different people. They promised my issue would be resolved in "3 to 5 business days". Verizon's customer service has really dropped off in the past few years. This holds true for help at the Verizon stores. One to two workers with a line waiting on service. I have been a customer for over 7 years but it is time to change.

I went to Verizon to see if they had a sale for free phones like other companies have. The Sales person led me to believe I was getting free phones and told me my bill would be $104.00 a month. He gave me the phone and told me to finish signing up on the app. So I did that and they tried to add on insurance. I didn't get it because my experience over the years is that if I had insurance I would have to pay a deducible that would be close to the cost of going in to buy another phone. So, I didn't get the insurance. Then they download things on the phone that I never authorized to be downloaded and when I tried to uninstall them I wasn't able to uninstall. That is not right. Then I get my bill and the added more charges that I didn't approve. It was for cloud storage.
I made them remove it and then again they added insurance again. I spoke to a lady that took the insurance off didn't question why I wouldn't want insurance due to the price of the phone. When my phone got broken I called Verizon and the agent advised me the I owed $288.00. I said what are you talking about and he said if I stayed with Verizon for 36 months they would have been free. I advised that I was never told that when I got the phones. I was very upset and told him I couldn't pay that much and would never agree to purchase $800.00 phones. I would have gone somewhere else and get service. I think it's ridiculous to pay that much for a phone. I don't need an expensive phone for way I use it for.

My wife and I purchased new iPhones at an Apple Store and traded in our old ones which were not purchased through Verizon. The Apple Store representative transferred data, deactivated our old phones, and activated the new iPhones. We did not go to a Verizon retail store or involve any Verizon personnel in the process. When we received our next Verizon bill, we discovered that it contained an extra charge of $35 per phone for the upgrade. I called Verizon for an explanation of what benefit it gave us for the $70 and received no understandable explanation. However, the representative admitted other customers had called under similar circumstances and asked the same question. I hope the FTC investigates this process in which one is charged for receiving nothing.

I had a Verizon Wireless business account with 8 lines for the past three years. I recently canceled and went to T-Mobile business. The coverage that Verizon prided on is no more. Their cell service coverage, process of billing and customer service gets F. Last straw to break was when we repeatedly try to cancel a global service, they refuse to and charged us. When we asked for our money back, their usual response is we can only go back 3 month of charges. They don't care about their customers. Well, we can leave as customers. Also I kept telling them, it may not be a lot of money for individual accounts that they robbed them of, but you multiply that by a million or more customer accounts, that turns out to be a big number.

I traded in my iPhone 14 to upgrade. I had to pay off $750 of the 14 to complete the purchase. I wanted to take advantage of the $1000 trade-in offer, and thought it was all good when completed. The person in the store did not explain several very important points, so it ended up being quite a lesson! When I got the notification that because I changed my plan, the trade in off was no longer valid. I called, but the rep did not seem to understand what I wanted and would not tell me what plan I had to have. She said the phone would be $27.77 per month for 36 months. That’s over $950 for a $1300 phone minus $1000 trade-in. Lesson: Don’t buy a phone from Verizon.

If you are going to switch carriers beware of this when leaving Verizon. AS soon as you make the phone transfer of the last phone, Verizon shuts down your account!! You can not access your account for statements or anything. You call CS to get statement copies and they say they will send, they don't... 3 separate calls and assurance they would be sent US mail, they claim they can not email them to you. They give you a portal for people who have "discontinued service" but it does not give access or allow you to reestablish password to get access. It is important to have the statements if you are doing a buyout program with new carrier as proof for many things so print prior to the last transfer or you will be ignored by Verizon!

Just wanted to warn people about signing up for the monthly International Calling Plan. We did a two week trip internationally in June 2024 and were told (by some folks in one of their India based call centers) that it's much more cost effective to sign up for this for one month than to do the Travelpass for two weeks and I was assured that it was easy to cancel the plan after our trip. My instincts were against this and boy did I pay the price. I found out later looking at Reddit others had the same issue, they say after your trip the International Plan is cancelled but it keeps on going and they make it nearly impossible to cancel!
Many calls to different call centers over a period of several months -- could write several paragraphs on my unpleasant experiences. They'd say (more than once) I'll get credits that I never got, etc. Then after some researching I got to folks deeper in Verizon who are supposed to be able to fix things like this and they send an email sounding like everything will be adjusting with credits, etc but the credits can't take effect until future billing cycles and the credits, now in Jan 2025, have still not appeared! I am a long time Verizon customer and was generally a happy Verizon customer until I signed up for the International calling plan. They are eroding their brand and the loyalty of long time customers for some short tern earnings gain by these shady business practices (too many people have been affected from what I could tell that I doubt this is accidental).

Never in my life have I had such terrible customer service. And no, this isn’t just a one-time thing—Verizon is consistently awful when it comes to interacting with customers, whether it’s by phone, chat, or text. This latest situation was the last straw. I am planning to leave Verizon very soon. On December 31, I spent two hours on Verizon’s chat service arranging a payment extension. I was told my account would stay active if I paid by January 22, 2025.
Fast forward to January 2—my service was disconnected anyway. After hours on the phone with long hold times, I was told the arrangement hadn’t been processed correctly due to an agent’s error. I eventually spoke with a representative named Israel, who confirmed the mistake and said my account could be restored until January 8, when I planned to make a payment. He transferred me to a manager, L. Michelle Ann, and that’s where everything went downhill.
L. Michelle Ann interrupted me repeatedly, spoke to me in a condescending tone, and dismissed my concerns entirely. She refused to acknowledge this was Verizon’s error and made judgmental remarks about my payment history. This woman needs to be fired. When I escalated further to someone named Aaron, it somehow got even worse. While he acknowledged the agent’s error, he still blamed me for it. He dismissed my concerns about L. Michelle Ann’s behavior, saying that managers “tend to be meaner,” as if that was an excuse. He also told me that if I didn’t pay on the agreed date, my service would be terminated—even though this was an error on Verizon’s part.
Verizon has made it clear they don’t care about their customers. I’m a single mom trying to make ends meet while working and attending school full-time. I know I’ve been late on payments, but that doesn’t mean I deserve to be treated with such disrespect. This company’s lack of accountability and support is appalling, especially in a time when so many people are struggling financially. Verizon, you should retrain to it staff.

I told the sales rep. my exact income and the max amount that I could afford and he COMPLETELY lied to me about how much it would cost. I asked him like 7 times how much it was going to be because I told him I am on a very fixed income and I absolutely could not afford any more than $120 AT THE VERY MOST. He told me over and over that the only thing I would be charged for was $65 per line and $10 for the FREE tablet I was eligible for and then a very small amount for taxes and fees... He said like about $15- $25 at the most.
He also told me that I was getting an $800 trade in credit for my old phone so the new Samsung S23 I got for my new account was free -meaning I was not going to have to make any payments on my new phone. This turned out to be another lie I found out after I got my first bills - that average $375- $450 a month. (Remember he PROMISED SEVERALTIMES MY BILL WOULD BE NO MORE THAN $120.) I found out that I am also making payments on my phone as well because even though he told me I was getting the full $800 trade in credit I really only got $400. So when he told me my phone was free THAT was yet another lie. I have had to call them every month hysterical because I told him before I ever signed any contract that i could not afford any more than $120 a month and he ASSURED me it would never be more than that in fact he said it wouldn't even be that much. HA!
I am going to attach the bills I have received since starting with Verizon liars. You will see the bills I have been paying are anywhere from $376 all the way up to $700.

And I also informed them from the start I have a brain injury and cannot handle this stress but of course all they tell me is I have a contract and they are sorry but there's nothing else they can do for me.
Tell me this, how am I stuck in this contract when everything they told me was a lie. Doesn't that make the contract fraudulent and therefore null and void? It damn well should because if I would have been given truthful information I would have never signed this contract. Please pass this information on to everyone you know and tell them not to go through Verizon because they are liars and manipulators and should be charged with a crime for deceptive practices.

**Frustrating Experience with Verizon: Misleading Practices and Poor Customer Service** I recently had an incredibly frustrating experience with Verizon that has left me feeling like I’m back in the bad old days of dealing with AT&T. Verizon’s customer service and billing practices have been nothing short of disappointing, and I feel misled and overcharged at every turn.
I signed up for service at a Verizon company-owned store located on Wilma Rudolph Blvd in Clarksville, TN. The initial sales pitch was promising, but my first bill was more than twice the amount that was quoted to me by the sales clerk. When I reached out to resolve the issue, my bill was slightly adjusted, but it still remained almost double what I was originally told. I was assured it would be corrected in future billing cycles, but that hasn’t happened.
To make matters worse, the return and refund policy is extremely restrictive. If you want to return equipment for a refund, you must do so within 3 to 30 days, or you won’t get your money back. I returned the equipment on the third day, but all I received was a partial refund for the sales tax I had paid on my credit card. I contacted Verizon’s customer service four times, and each time I was reassured that the issue would be resolved and I would receive a full refund. Yet, despite those promises, I still haven’t seen a full refund.
After weeks of waiting, I had no choice but to escalate the issue to the FCC. Unfortunately, Verizon seems to have little regard for customer satisfaction or transparency. They’ve made it incredibly difficult to get a fair resolution. On top of that, Verizon includes an arbitration clause in their terms of service, preventing customers from pursuing class action suits, which is particularly frustrating given their current involvement in class action cases. At this point, I’m still waiting for my full refund and would advise others to be cautious when dealing with Verizon. Their billing practices, misleading sales tactics, and unresponsive customer service are a recipe for frustration. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for more transparent and reliable service.

By the way, there was a current promotion advertised for exactly that which is why I called. I was told the new 16promax would cost me $91 + $35 upgrade fee which I paid ($109.10) during our phone call that day. Jump to two and a half months later and a bill for $349. After calls to Verizon I’m told I received $422 for my trade-in and also am required to pay off the balance remaining on the 14promax I was told I was guaranteed $1000 trade in, thus the $349 phone bill as well as a new price added to my phone bill for 36 months consecutive payments for the new phone. Deceitful.

This was the second call today from resolution explaining over and over that my trade in is $422 and my remaining balance is $349 which is the bill now due. Oh-and I cannot undo any of this because that was only for 30 days. Convenient I didn’t get the bill for two months.

My bride recently dropped her iPhone 14 and cracked the screen even though it was in a protective case. No problem. I’ll just use Verizon’s holiday offer and trade it in on a new one. First challenge- the deal is only available on-line. After 90 minutes of frustration with Verizon’s truly terrible web site, I gave up. I now have an appointment to have the screen replaced.

I wouldn’t rate it at all. This company is by far the absolute worse and they are highway robbery. They think you are not paying attention to your account charges and the numbers are always changing. I was credit 29.00 that they claimed they put towards the bill which was the same price before they credited it. Then they claimed to applied another 29.00 to satisfy me for the credited that wasn’t credited in the first place and it came down to 144.00 from 174.00. Ok great. Next rep tallies everything and it goes from 144.00 to 164.00. Mind you there is a 10.00 over the phone payment fee but wouldn’t that make it 154.00. I am over it and over them. I’ll pay off my phone and move on. Please do not be desperate and get into a contract. They make everything sound good but it will be hell.

The overall "provided service" isn't horrible when it's working. There have been several outages over the last few months ranging from a full day to a few hours. The phones are the same as anywhere. But where Verizon really has dropped the ball is their customer service. In person is next to worthless. Went to upgrade my phone and wanted the sales rep to switch over from old phone to new phone, my apps, contacts and photos. A service they used to provide.
The lady just kept pulling down the top bar and clicking the wifi and shuffling screens acting like she was doing something.... She was not doing a darn thing. And yes I know I can do this on my own but was traveling for work when I broke my screen and decided to upgrade so was wanting this done as a convenience. And it was the furthest thing from that. After she wasted my time I left and ended up doing it myself anyhow. Now, as far as their phone service (if you call needing something) good luck reaching a real person. Overall only with Verizon because they have slightly better coverage. As soon as we move bye bye Verizon.

I transferred my phone number from my business account to my personal account. Was supposed to be a simple procedure. Verizon added on charges for another phone I never owned? I called them as soon as I saw the error. Problem fixed…. I thought. Then I started getting emails from them saying they were charging me for this phone that I never owned. Called them again… Problem fixed…. I thought. This happened 6 more times. Today I got my first bill with the phone charge on it. I called again, and spend 2 hours and 15 minutes on hold, just to find out they are charging me for the phone.
I finally called my Corporate Office Verizon Rep, and it is an error on their part. He said he will fix it. But to say I’m upset with the amount of time I’ve spent with this, after being told time and time again, that the error has been fixed…is an understatement. I wish I had never signed up with such a disorganized company. I can pay $100 to turn in my new equipment and go somewhere else, and I’m seriously thinking it might be worth it. Verizon is the worst company overall that I’ve ever dealt with. I work for a multibillion dollar company, and we would never tolerate this type of negligence.

Went to Verizon store, since I've had the phone over 30 days, it is a warranty issue. I called 611 for their warranty dept. They sent me a new (or so I thought would be new). They told me to take to Verizon store and they would transfer my data. Nope...they don't do that, I had to do it myself at home. While doing this, I noticed the stylus was missing. Looking back at the packaging, it said: "used/like new". What?? My phone was 2 months old! I called them and they said they do not send out new phones. Needless to say VERY disappointed in Verizon.

I was burned by Verizon a few years ago but thought I'd try again. I always had an ATTgo-phone and unlocked phone, recently bought July 2023; google pixel 7 pro. But I decided to take advantage of the (trade-in) for FREE Apple 16; FREE I-PAD and maybe FREE Watch. I went through a local store in Massachusetts and was told I had 30 days to decide. Number one lesson learned: If you are using your own credit be sure it is available and that the staff understand if you need to unlock your credit; it has to be done by all three credit bureaus/if you lock your credit you are out of luck. Decided to go on my bf plan due to this. Not told was the charge to open the account of each device..$70.00; in this case I wanted the FREE phone; FREE Ipad.
Checking the monthly bill, I learned more money than told to me $60/month (understood this was in total) BUT was now it shows approx $90 per month with taxes and charges monthly for phone and Ipad. My go-phone account was $55/month. I decided to go back to ATT which took hours to switch; and multiple trips to the Verizon store; once to tell them I'm not keeping the phone/Ipad and what to do next..call ATT; then conversations with Verizon for several hours on phone to move account back; difficult to get a correct person; then back to store to return to see there was an hour wait; once to find out I needed the boxes; and finally returned for 5th time. This took about 10 days. Non-stop trying to find out answers.
I now am on my old service; using my old phone; and to change BACK from Verizon there was $50 per device return expense ($100) and $16.27 for whatever balance -I don't know. I was also charged for a MONTH of service, even though I only had this equipment for 10 days max..So another $130. I have lost count but rep totaled the expense for cancelling service: $255 total; and when I opened the account, I paid $150; and to reopen my ATT account $35; All in all, my experience with Verizon was a disaster of over $400 to switch back; $35 to cancel service and go back to ATT... my monthly bill will be $50.
I can live without an Ipad. You can do the math but I will close with this: Verizon does not do good by customers. I will never use them again; and certainly hope you all use another choice to avoid costly misrepresentations of fees, charges and truth and lack of transparency. You are buying your phone and Ipad. THEY ARE NOT FREE! It will show up on your bill as mine did.

I have been a Verizon customer for more than 20 years. Recently, on November 26, 2024 I purchased an iPhone 16 pro and a new iPad from a local Verizon Corporate store in West Monroe, LA. I was told that with the purchase of an iPhone 16 I had to subscribe to an “Unlimited Plus” plan. The salesperson showed me that with the Unlimited Plan I would pay less every month than I was paying with my existing plans (a play more plan and a do more plan). I not only agreed to that, I switch all 8 of my lines to the unlimited plus plan. The savings per month was significant. BIG PROBLEM. After I switched over to the unlimited plus plan for all phones I got a notice from Verizon that with the unlimited plus plan I had to purchase Verizon Cloud backup at a cost of $5.99 per month. That that increased my monthly cost to $3.99 per line more than I was paying before.
The additional cost was never explained to me or I would never have switched my existing plans from Do More and Play More to Unlimited Plus. Trying to undo this change has been a nightmare. The online reps will say what they need to say, but will never ever confirm in writing their promises to correct the problem and undo the damage they have done with misrepresentations made by the sales staff. Via telephone they will state that the problem has been corrected to the customer’s satisfaction. Then they will promise to confirm the corrective action in writing via email. The email never comes, and the promised changes are never made.
Via chat they will make general and misleading statements but they are careful to never state the actual promised corrective actions in writing. They will not send a transcript of the telephone discussion with the service rep or supervisor who has verbally promised specific corrective actions. They will promise that the action stated via telephone by the supervisor has been taken, but when pressed and when they quote the corrective action taken, it is something completely different that was was promised verbally by the agent or supervisor. In short, they lie. Repeatedly. The promised action never happens. I have battled with these people for 4 days. For a total of 16 hours. I still do not have the promised resolution. Avoid Verizon.

My experience with Verizon Home Internet has been nothing short of a nightmare. I decided to try their service, but their team couldn’t even get it set up properly. Frustrated, I canceled the service and returned the equipment within the 30-day trial period, ensuring I followed all their instructions. Despite this, Verizon started charging me for the service, claiming they never received the returned equipment. I contacted their support multiple times, provided the tracking number, and after weeks of back-and-forth, they finally admitted the equipment was sitting in their warehouse and that it had not been logged as received.
I was assured a refund would be issued and the matter resolved. Instead, I recently received an email from a debt collection agency trying to collect payment for a charge I don’t owe. This is completely unacceptable and reflects a serious lack of communication and accountability within Verizon’s system. I have wasted countless hours trying to fix a problem that was entirely Verizon’s fault. Not only did they fail to provide the promised service, but they also mishandled the return process and wrongly escalated the issue to collections. I expected better from a company of this size.

Lemme put it into perspective, I had been a customer for 10+ years, I pay my bill on time or even early and not a day later. Some red flags I noticed: The increase in pricing constantly (other reviews even say they increase their set payment plans), buying cell phone insurance and in return having to pay even more money for a phone that doesn't even work, and lastly their customer service. I get inflation and corporate greediness but this is on a whole other level. To increase prices and not change a single thing about anything (faster internet speed, better data, etc.) is crazy. Their data is good except if you live in Colorado, definitely switch. Moving on, paying 100 bucks or more on insurance and then paying even more for a Google phone that doesn't start up anymore for no reason, getting the new phone and it does the same exact thing and nobody is able to help.
Having to pay for 2 phones for an internal issue not covered by phone insurance (Then what's the point of the damn insurance) and the cherry on top is the customer service. I completely understand customer jobs but it gets to a point where these employees just don't care anymore and can't help you at all besides paying even more money for crappy phones. Now, I switched over to T-Mobile, it's been about a month, I have paid off my phone through Verizon. I don't owe them any more money; double checking and all. I get a bill through the mail.. for 10 dollars and some cents from Verizon for "cell phone usage". You're actually joking... So I call their customer service and of course no help.

WORST CELLULAR COMPANY EVER!!! I've had a few different companies over the years, but Verizon is absolutely the worst! You can not easily get them on the phone - then when you do get customer service - they do not always have the correct information - but that is OK because if they are incorrect and you need to switch anything they will charge you fees on top of fees and it never ends. The charged us nearly $600 to switch from our other carrier to them - the estimate they gave us for what our phones would cost per month was incorrect! The bill fluctuates from month to month.
In particular we needed the ability to call internationally - so started out with their ultimate plan. But the international calling included with the ultimate plan is for only ONE country - we have family /friends in more than one country. Bottom line there is no good option with the Ultimate to call more than one country. I had a "bring your own device", a veteran, and since we have FIOS a discount for multiple services - but by the time they got done with us these amount to almost nothing. So charges/fees are outrageous and never seem to end - plans to not provide what we needed them to - customer service was ill informed (didn't know the services they were selling and estimates they gave were incorrect) - every time you change something within the account they charge another fee!!! My advice - any one but VERIZON - We had great luck with Metro (T-Mobile) prior to needing an international option.

I placed 3 frantic calls to Verizon for help in locating the phone, to no avail. I then had to go into a Verizon store and purchase a new phone for my son.
Fast forward to February, it dawned on me that the lost phone had insurance coverage on it – so I placed a call to Verizon to ask why 3 separate reps in your call center, and one at a store, ALL of whom had access to my account never said, “Don’t worry Ms. ** – you’re phone is covered. We’ll send you out a new one.” The rep on the phone said due to the fact that it was 30 days past the purchase, there was nothing he could do about it. He did however manage to sell me a new phone, and somehow I’m paying full price for both phone, without much of a bill increase.
Fast forward to October 25th. My now 18yo son, who is living just outside of Pittsburgh, reached out to me via a Verizon Tech person, as they needed me to grant access to his account, as he was having problems with his phone. He said it wasn’t holding a charge and would just randomly shut off. The Verizon tech person determined that the phone needed to be replaced.
Prior to transferring us over to Asurion to get a replacement phone, I asked the tech if Asurion would have the info to save time, and he got defensive, saying that it is a requirement for them to fully document all calls. I tried to assure him I wasn’t questioning his ability to do his job – I just wanted to make sure Asurion was on the same page. When we got transferred, the Asurion rep said they could not see ANY notes pertaining to what the tech person had discovered, and therefore, we needed to be transferred back over to tech support. The 2nd tech person, after explaining what had transpired, thankfully explained the situation to Asurion before connecting the call.
Asurion then started the process to get a new replacement phone to my son. I had to pay $99. I was charged on the 27th. My son received his phone more than 3 days after our call on the 25th. When my son went to activate his phone via the Verizon Tech Coach, they could not get the new phone to do a software update. They determined the replacement phone needed to be replaced. I asked the Verizon rep to stay on the phone during the transfer and to make sure Asurion knew what was happening. Asurion then said they would send out a 2nd phone.
On November the 9th, after receiving the 2nd phone, my son, again with a Verizon tech coach attempted to activate the new phone. He was able to port the number over to the new phone but that was it – leaving neither phone working. At about 10:30 in the evening, I got a call from my sons’ PC alerting me to the matter and again seeking my help in getting this situation resolved. In this call, with both Verizon and Asurion people, that lasted past midnight, I was told by BILL that it would take me a full billing cycle to be refunded my money, once they had phones in hand, since I paid with a credit card. As a small business owner, I can refund any type of card in 7-10 biz days. He was firm on this.
I then spoke to a lady who explained to me that there is a known problem activating phones and updating IOS18. She said she could not see any sign that either phone was entered into shipping, but provided me with the tracking info for both returns and said as soon as they popped up on tracking I could call and they would get a “NEW PHONE” sent out to him. She said they typically don’t guarantee new phones, (2nd ones screen was also scratched according to my son.) but due to the circumstance, she would make sure he got a new functional phone, in good working order and no cosmetic damage.The call ended after midnight.
Monday was a federal holiday. After my son got out of class on Tuesday, he took both phones to USPS and shipped them off, emailing me the USPS tracking receipt. Once I saw it showing up, I attempted to call Asurion through Verizon. I spent a total of 7.5 hours on the phone on Tuesday, the 12th. The first Verizon rep wanted to troubleshoot the original phone again. Despite tell her that 1) I was not in possession of the phone, and 2) that my son was at Urgent Care, with what turned out to be a pneumonia diagnosis, she still transferred me to tech support. That person then transferred me to Asurion. I was then told that my account was put on hold due to ‘fraud prevention’.
When I questioned the rep about being suspected of fraud, he said we were not understanding each other. I understood him fine, and asked to be transferred to his supervisor. Next I got someone on the phone who apologized for the rep before, but due to having 2 phones out, despite having tracking for them, it was their policy that the phones needed to be returned before a new one could be issued. She knew I was furious, put me on hold to check out what options would be available, and when she got back and began telling me the options, the call dropped and she didn’t call me back.
When I called back, and got an Asurion rep, I was told I could get a phone paid for by them, instead of trying to get them to send a replacement. The rep stated that I would go get the phone, send them the bill, and get reimbursed. I asked what would happen to my bill since I’m still paying for the phone. The rep said I would have to negotiate that with Verizon. Since I couldn’t make a decision on accepting that option without knowing details, I proceeded to try and get the replacement phone.
I then had to go through the entire process again, escalating until I got to Morgan, a rep in the CEO office of Asurion. She said that the situation was not normal, but it was their policy that the phones had to be in their possession before a new phone could be sent out. I explained that we had done nothing wrong, had worked with the appropriate tech people throughout both activations, that it wasn’t my fault they paid for cheap return shipping. This was Tuesday and the phone wasn’t due to be in their hands before Monday, the 18th. She assured me she would watch the account and as soon as she saw them entered into her system, she would reach out to get a “new phone” to my son.
Since I contract with Verizon for this service, I was angry at the fact that Verizon did nothing to advocate for me. I’ve verified every time I called, multiple times with each transfer. USPS was showing phones en route. I’ve got an autistic sick kid with a spotty phone and nobody seems to care about providing good customer service. I attempted to call customer service but you guys don’t provide customer service in the evening. I put in a request for a call-back the next day. While I was doing that, I saw the sales number, so I thought I would check out what would happen if I DID decide to accept the money to buy a new phone for my son. Funny. Customer service is open to HELP your existing customers, but your sales staff are ready to take our money.
I first spoke with Dustin, explaining the situation. I think he heard my frustration, so he escalated the call to Samantha? I spent another 90 plus minutes with Samantha trying to figure out how to just get my son a new phone. What we settled on, was that I would pay the extra price to early upgrade, plus the tax. She said that I would also have to activate a 3rd line, but for ONLY one month. When 30 days passed, and my son returned the phone that isn’t working, I could then cancel out the 3rd line. Because you would be in possession of it, I also would no longer have to pay it off. I told her repeatedly that I could NOT sustain any surprises. We are trying to recover from a giant oak falling on the house with Milton. She said she understood and there would be no surprises.
We attempted to pay the $70 at least 10 times using your system, both through my phone AND my PC. All cards declining despite adequate funds. At the end of the call, Samantha said she would call me the next day at the beginning of her shift to follow-through on the purchase, and I was then showing 4 $70 pending charges on one of my CC’s.
When I awoke the next morning, I checked my bank balance. NO charges were pending or processed. At 9:45, I got a return call from Customer service that I’d requested the night before. I would up speaking with Renee, a tier 2 support person, who could not escalate the call above her, could see there were issues with this whole process, the countless hours on the phone, the time passed, the “under review” status, and she said she would look into it, but she wanted to transfer me over to sales so I could get my son a new working phone.
I got transferred to Crystal – who I’m not sure knew what day it was. She kept repeating she was trying to see what the other rep had done. Finally, after multiple requests, she transferred me to Mike. Amongst other things, Mike informed me that was Samantha had told me the night before was inaccurate, and that when I would have attempted to cancel the ‘new’ 3rd line, you would have charged me a $1000. We then concluded that the best thing I could do was to wait for Asurion to receive the phones and go from there.
I kept checking tracking, and on Wednesday, it said it would arrive on Thursday. But Thursdays tracking showed it sitting in Knoxville and not moving. Then tracking updated to reflect delivery back to the 18th. On Saturday, the 16th, I got an email from Asurion saying they had received the phone, but USPS tracking was still showing it due on the 18th, and NOT delivered.
Yesterday morning, I reached out to Morgan, who is in the office of the CEO, stating I’d gotten an email saying Asurion had the phone, but tracking was showing otherwise, and asked if she could return my call. I got nothing. Called today to find that the phones were returned on the 16th and 17th. Today, in another 90 minute call, I spoke to Yadira, also in the office of the CEO. We are attempting a 3rd delivery, and I’ve instructed my son to take it to the nearest Verizon store to activate it. She says she requested a ‘new’ phone, but Asurion doesn’t guarantee new phones. I have no idea if the Verizon person will know how to navigate the IOS 18 issue – but I figure if HE does, it – nobody can blame us, if it fails like the other two did.
I am so frustrated and angry over this entire situation – beginning with your reps not looking out for me with I purchased the phone a year ago. That’s what customer service is! Not how can we get this person to spend more money. I have now logged in over 13 hours of time on the phone trying to get this resolved, with almost 4 weeks passing. I’ve been accused of fraud.
You can’t reach ANY person to do the right thing, so I thought I’d go on X and blast you guys. It’s the only thing I can do. ANY other business with even a small issue, a person could just simply quit, or say, “Fine. I’ll take my business elsewhere.” But I’ve got devices to pay for. I can’t. I’m stuck with Verizon and have to deal with the crap I’m being spoon-fed by EVERY SINGLE person I’ve encountered through this entire process. Samantha DID call back, and she said what Mike said was wrong. Who am I to believe?
Your social media rep, Izzy, said she would work on it, despite me telling her I could not sit at my desk any longer. I actually have better things to do with my time to talk to Verizon reps. Is this REALLY the way you think your business should run? And how long-standing customers should be treated? Just getting a working replacement phone is NOT going to cut it at this point. You have to know that. Then, you come back, offer me a discount on a new phone, BUT, it's gonna cost me $15 more a month AND I need to commit to you for another 3 years! Please. Do better.

I recently filed a complaint against Verizon, my previous phone carrier, due to them blacklisting one of my devices. I switched to AT&T on November 5th 2024, and ever since activation, they suspended the device due to Verizon placing on a blacklist. Now, Verizon states they have done everything possible, but it is still blacklisted as per AT&T and they have to suspend the device.
I also emailed the GSMA Block list Service, and have not heard back yet. The phone was purchased on a monthly installment plan from Verizon and completely paid for as of July 2024, and has had service since with Verizon up until switching carriers two weeks ago on the 5th of November. It was reported lost or stolen and blacklisted as per AT&T and APPLE on February 6 2023 at 11:59am with the code 0011-lost or stolen. Louisa ** and Gustavo with executive relations for Verizon are very rude and they both have horrible customer service skills. I am shocked that they both refused to give me their supervisor, or to anyone else higher up.

My data was low so I called to ask if they can add extra data. My payment is due in 5 days..The agent said that he can add unlimited data for free on the plan I currently have...I have my payment automatically deducted from my bank acct...I confirmed at least three times with the agent to be sure I understood.. Shortly after we ended the call I received a confirmation that it is $25 more..I called back and another agent said that's not the plan I have..He escalated the call to someone else and they never answered..after 45 minutes the call was disconnected..They enrolled me in a plan that I did not approve..The customer service is horrible...always try to connect you to a virtual agent..This is a scam.

Honestly, I had a iPhone 8 Plus from metro, and switched to Verizon because my sister was with them and said she didn’t have much issue, so I gave them a try. I went in and it was a Woman who took care of me. I wanted to get a Samsung Galaxy and she told me that it was free when you switch over to the company. Clearly I was bamboozled, because when I searched up my account I saw I owed them $846, and was confused so I called and they basically told me I had to pay it, regardless. If I would have known I would have never bothered with them to begin with. Now this is on my credit history. I’ve since went back to Metro and got a iPhone from them. Which I should of just stayed with them from the beginning. Now I have to pay off a Samsung Galaxy that wasn’t even worth it at all, dang near a whole band to pay off a phone. They are legit the worst phone company I’ve ever connected with.

I just recently switched from AT&T to Verizon Wireless. AT&T was giving me issues. Switching over the Verizon wireless representative was very helpful. He said that within about four hours everything would be switched over to my new iPhone 16 Max. +5 hours later I'm calling. They put me on hold saying they are working on it and then I got hung up on. Tried to call back. They were closed now. I have a new phone that I cannot use. Very disappointed.

Verizon is overall the worst cellular company I’ve ever had. The phone had been nothing but trouble. The service is terrible and worst of all the customer service is not on the same page. You can’t get help with them at all. They lie. Your bill is never right. Please people don’t ever consider Verizon.
