    Trying to figure the my cloud. How it works. What do I do, how much etc. At first appeared they were helping then got passed on to someone and I got confused, one person wanted to sell me phone. The other finally understood, got some help but then it was very involved. Lacked complete or full instructions and information. Had to search elsewhere on site then got booted out of Verizon. Got back in. Was able to continue the chat with a live person, for about 4 hours back and forth then my internet crashed. Got back in. Continued chat. Thought all was said and done or all good. Went to try the suggestions instructions etc. and now they verizon has been ignoring all my chat request. All I had have is one small question. Little question and then I thought I figured it out and that one small question is now a nightmare. So do I recommend? No, unfortunately verizon is NOW a monopoly as well as the GOOGLE giant and AMAZON.

    Very disappointed with Verizon. After being a loyal customer for many years, they raised my bill by $15 a month just as I was about to pay off my phone. Instead of rewarding customer loyalty, they increased my costs. There are better, more affordable options out there. I can’t recommend Verizon based on my experience

    I have been a loyal Verizon Wireless customer for 25 years and have consistently paid my bills through Auto Pay. Due to a temporary financial hardship, I canceled one automatic payment with the intention of making the payment manually within a few days. Although my bill was due on the 19th, my service was disconnected just seven days later despite my 25-year history of reliable, on-time payments.

    When I called to resolve the issue, I repeatedly requested to speak with a supervisor. The representative refused to transfer my call, kept me on hold for approximately 45 minutes, and stated that a supervisor would give me “the same answer.” Denying a customer’s repeated request to speak with a supervisor is unacceptable.

    I was also disappointed by the representative’s dismissive and unprofessional attitude. At no point did anyone explain why a long-standing customer with an excellent payment history was treated this way over a brief delay. I respectfully request that Verizon review both the decision to disconnect my service and the handling of my call. I also ask that appropriate action be taken to address the poor customer service I experienced and that Verizon provide a fair resolution in recognition of my 25 years of loyalty.

    I spoke with a Verizon customer service representative and they were very rude to me and hung up abruptly. I placed an order for home internet from Verizon on 06/29/2026. I followed al the steps and submitted all the information and paperwork required of me. I received an email saying my order was being canceled, with no explanation given. On 06/30/2026 at approximately 1:45 PM EST I was on the phone with a representative trying to figure out the issue. She told me my application had simply been denied because my information was not verified. I asked her what was not verified, or what I needed to do to get it verified. She just stated that she could not tell me anything else, I simply am not verified.

    After asking again what I needed to do to fix it, she just said “thank you for calling, goodbye” and then hung up on me. I called back and got another representative on the line. He told me he would be able to complete the verification for me over the phone but at that point I was over it. So I told him it was okay, but I’ll go with T-Mobile instead.

    If I had 0 I would use that. I started out by trying to get the package deal they offered with getting internet and mobile service. Well they gave me the modem and said someone would come out to install. They never did and when I called the store they had me come in and return the modem via UPS because nobody to give the number to call them. When I went to UPS to return the modem they said the had ten modems to be returned because no one got service. I had to call many times to get my credit for returning the modem. Then I was left with a billing problem where they keep adding services I did not sign up for. If you call the 611 number for customer support you never get a real person just AI. I finally got a customer service number online and wound up spending 1 hour to try to get them to fix the bill by not charging for services I did not sign up for.. DO NOT get started with Verizon.

    After 10 years of loyalty and maintaining 3 family lines, Verizon’s customer service has devolved into a predatory circus. Verizon sent me a defective warranty replacement device with a completely shot battery. When I tried to upgrade, the first agent admitted the phone was defective in writing, but then tried to trick me into changing my elderly parents' accounts. When that failed, he attempted a blatant 'ghost-line' scam—trying to slide an unauthorized 4th line onto my account to hide system fees and boost his own sales commission.

    When I demanded a supervisor, I was subjected to an endless loop of corporate gaslighting. The next reps tried to trade a measly $35 activation fee waiver to cover up a $154 hardware balance caused by their own defective inventory, and then tried to dump me off onto a third-party insurance company (Asurion) to dig myself out of a mess Verizon created. Worse yet, agents actively stonewalled and refused to provide my Account Number and Number Transfer PIN—a direct violation of FCC porting regulations—until I formally threatened regulatory escalation. A decade of loyalty means nothing to this company. They protect predatory sales tactics, traffic in defective hardware, and trap consumers. Avoid Verizon at all costs

    By far, I have recently had the worst experience with Verizon. In anticipation of my contract ending, I spoke with a representative by phone and received a quote to add a line and upgrade the existing phones. I wasn't ready to take action at that point, as the representative said it would be more cost-effective to wait until the end of the contract to not pay a cancellation fee. When I called back a couple of weeks later, I received an entirely different quote... much higher. After being on hold several times and the call lasting over an hour, I asked to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor said that since I had been with them for over 32 years, they could apply a couple of loyalty discounts, which brought me close to the original quote, and I stated I wanted to move forward. I was sent documents to sign electronically, but I never received a notice to pick up the new phones.

    After approximately 5 days, I called to inquire about the delay and was told they could see that an order had been placed, but it had never been processed. We started the process all over again on a two-hour call and placed another order at a similar price. However, by the time I went to pick up the phones approximately 2 days later, they sent me a bill that was quite a bit higher than the quoted price over the phone, with a much higher monthly price. I've called back at least a dozen times, trying to get this resolved, and I have been hung up on and placed on hold for over an hour. What a scam! After this contract period, I will never use Verizon again.

    I transferred from T-mobile to Verizon to save money... You get what you pay for and it's not worth it! Long story short, I returned to T-mobile after 1 week of sh*tshow with Verizon.

    Here's the list of problems I encountered:
    • Inefficient transfer process at the Sunnyvale,CA store. Took over an hour and several restarts to setup my phone. (≤20mins at T-mobile).
    • They promised high speed data but mine had nearly no internet and was stuck at around 4mbps when I did have it.
    • All the discounts they advertise are fake and will not be applied to your bill.
    • "Offers" for streaming services are no better than the original price.
    • They just won't let me add a new line under my account. I tried twice and talked to customer support and failed both times. You are required to call them for fraud prevention reasons. Also the review period is extremely long. The confirmation page says it takes less than 24 hours but nothing happened after a whole week (until I gave up).

    • Customer support is lazy and incompetent. I scheduled a phone call with them and they never reached out to me.

    $36 simplicity plan may seem like a great deal but it really isn't.

    I've been with Verizon since it started business in Redmond. One of the first to move to fiber optic and signed up on both phone service and all their services back then. They used to be a really good business and took good care of their customers. They have sure lost their way in that area. Getting so bad trying to deal with Verizon that I'm thinking about moving to anywhere carrier after over 30 years being a true customer.

    I was a Verizon customer enrolled in Auto Pay, and for several months everything worked exactly as it should. My monthly payments were successfully withdrawn from the same bank account without any issues. Then, out of nowhere, Verizon began returning my Auto Pay payments for approximately three consecutive months. Each returned payment resulted in late fees and the removal of my Auto Pay discount, increasing my monthly bill.

    At first, I assumed the problem was with my bank. I paid the late fees because I wanted to keep my account in good standing while I investigated the issue. I contacted my bank, and after reviewing my account, they confirmed there were sufficient funds available for every payment attempt. There were no holds, insufficient funds, or errors on my account. They confirmed the problem was not on their end.

    I contacted Verizon with this information, and Verizon's own representatives acknowledged that the payment processing issue originated on Verizon's side. They refunded the late fees for my current bill and assured me the issue had been fixed and that my next bill would reflect the proper adjustments and my original payment. It didn't. Although Verizon admitted the error was theirs, they still refused to restore my Auto Pay discount. Instead, I was told my payments had been marked as "late," so my monthly bill would remain higher. I was essentially told that even though Verizon caused the problem, I would still have to pay the consequences.

    When I questioned why I was still being charged more, I was told that if I wanted the Auto Pay discount back, I needed to apply for a Verizon credit card. I found that unbelievable. Verizon's own payment processing error caused me to lose my discount, yet the proposed solution was for me to open a line of credit with the company.

    To make matters worse, I was then told I had to wait three months to become "eligible" for Auto Pay again by being in "good standing." That made absolutely no sense because I was in good standing. Both my bank and Verizon confirmed the payment issue was caused by Verizon, not me. Yet I was forced to pay higher monthly bills for three months because of Verizon's mistake.

    After months of trying to resolve the issue, I decided to switch to another wireless carrier. One of the reasons I switched to my new carrier was because they offered to pay off my remaining Verizon balance. After switching, I contacted Verizon to arrange the payoff using the payment program provided by my new carrier. During that call, I was told that I first needed to make another monthly payment using my own debit or credit card before Verizon would issue my final bill. I found this confusing because my account was already current. In fact, the representative acknowledged that my account was current, yet still insisted I needed to pay the next month's bill with my personal payment method before my final bill could be generated.

    I specifically explained that my new carrier would be paying my remaining balance as part of my switch, but Verizon refused to allow that process to move forward unless I first made another payment out of my own pocket. The explanation was contradictory: I was told my account was current, but at the same time told it needed to be "brought current" by paying another monthly bill. Given that my balance had already been inflated by Verizon's own billing errors, higher monthly charges, and the loss of my Auto Pay discount, I found this completely unreasonable.

    To make matters worse, the representative I spoke with was rude, dismissive, and seemed more interested in collecting another payment than resolving the billing issues that had caused me to leave. At no point did anyone take meaningful responsibility for the situation. Because I no longer trusted Verizon's billing practices, I removed all payment methods from my account. I am not refusing to pay what I legitimately owe. I fully intend to satisfy any valid remaining balance once my final bill is issued on paper and my new carrier completes its payoff process. However, I am not willing to continue allowing Verizon to charge my personal payment methods while there are unresolved billing issues resulting from Verizon's own mistakes.

    What frustrated me most wasn't just the billing error, it was Verizon's refusal to fully correct it. They admitted the problem was theirs, refunded one set of late fees, but still left me with a higher monthly bill, removed my Auto Pay discount, told me to either wait three months or apply for a Verizon credit card to regain the discount, and then insisted I continue paying higher monthly bills caused by their own mistake.

    I have already taken my business elsewhere because I no longer trust Verizon to bill customers accurately or treat them fairly when problems arise. I'm sharing my experience so other consumers understand what can happen when a company's own billing system fails. In my case, Verizon admitted the error was theirs, yet I was still left paying the financial consequences.

    If Verizon is willing to acknowledge that a billing error was caused by its own systems, then it should also be willing to restore the customer's account to the position it would have been in had that error never occurred. Unfortunately, that is not what happened in my case, and it is the reason I can no longer recommend Verizon to anyone.

    Awful experience upgrading my phone... I placed the order and it was in "backorder" and not scheduled to deliver for 2 weeks. Multiple agents told me that the information was incorrect and not to worry, the phone is already on its way to me and I would be sent the tracking number by end of day. Nothing happened that day. I followed up again the next day and was told that there was a mistake but the device would absolutely be delivered by end of day. Still no tracking number or confirmation of shipping displaying in my account, but the agents stated they could see more details beyond what I could. I believed them....

    Overall the process was simply a nightmare because the agents seemed to invent information that was simply not true. The best the subsequent agents could do was to say the previous agents "were confused by the shipping and order information" which is really not an answer at all. I stay with Verizon out of convenience and habit. After this experience I will definitely consider switching to another provider that has a decent new-customer offer.

    I am taking the time to share my experience and hopefully prevent others from doing business with this company. My nightmare began when in 2023, Verizon launched a promotion of 4 lines for $120, bringing your devices; I felt for it. But in order to keep the “promotion price”, I needed to activate the auto-pay option on my account. The first bill automatically charged to my bank account was $121.56, that was the first and last rightful bill; because the second bill charge was $398.05 on 05/18/2023, then on 06/24/2023 $306.80, followed by $169.40 on 07/18/23, 08/18 $177.64, and kept going up. I made countless calls to customer service; begging, asking, demanding to make adjustments on my bills, but it was pointless. I spoke with Verizon representatives in Spanish and English, hoping that it would make a difference, but it didn’t. No one care.

    My final attempt to put an end to the Verizon’s infamous monthly bills was submitting a claim to the FCC and that’s when I received an email from a Verizon’s executive relations office named Tamara, who very kindly and empathetic offer to make the adjustments to my service fees so that my future bills would be $120 guaranteed and applied a credit of $174.83 for the past increased charges after explaining to her the struggles I was going through, as a single mother living check to check and providing for three adolescents, to cover their exaggerated fees. I am not going to lie, honestly, believed that finally the abuse was going to end.

    The credit of $174.83 was applied, but the next bill was again almost $200. I spoke several times with customer service and explained the agreement offered by their executive, Tamara, but they said there was no record of it. I email Tamara again, but she never responded, so they kept charging me as they pleased. After three years paying Verizon for something I did not signed for, I finally paid off my device to move out from this awful service.

    I would NOT give a one star at all. They did not order the right product and I had to jump through hoops to get it things corrected and in the end it was never fixed. Had to order another phone because mine would no longer work. Went to the store in Mobile at Tingle dr. and they said they did the right order but it was not a phone they ordered a tablet that was not needed. I am having to wait for a longer time and still pay for a refurbished phone that is not brand new that I am paying for.

    Their customer service was the worst and has me go to several different people. They are not sure what was ordered said they could not find the product that was ordered. They were not able to see anything according to them. I had to be on the phone for over an hour and still not corrected. Then they're not able to help me at all and they sent me to another department that did not connect me at all. They hung up on me because the recording said it was the wrong phone number that I was calling about to help with the order. I had to call multiple times. I am not able to get the product I need.

    If there was a way to give a 0 star review, they would be receiving one. After having been incessantly messaged by them for over 2 years, trying to have me trade in my phone, I finally broke down in October of last year and upgraded. I was offered a trade-in value of $800 and made sure that the phone that I traded in for was of a value below that cost. I still ended up having to pay $90 for transfer cost and fees, AND they required me to send in the phone that I was currently using (which I had purchased independently and owned outright).

    Then come June of 2026, I am trying to switch to another carrier. I call, and Verizon says that I still owe over $600 on this phone!?! They refused to send me any agreement, terms, or conditions that stated that I agreed to an additional 36-month contract with them in order to "accept" the $800 trade in credit, and won't acknowledge that, in addition to that, the value of the phone they made me send in, I wasn't given any credit for either. When trying to talk to a customer service representative on the phone, they placed me on hold for over 30 minutes, and when requesting to speak then to a supervisor when the representative wasn't able to help, they placed me on hold for an additional 20 minutes.

    Again, while they both acknowledged they could see the trade-in from October and the payment, they refused to send me any of the documents that stipulated the terms of the "agreement" regarding an additional 36-month financing on the device. I had been on a family plan for over a decade with Verizon and they are the most difficult to work with company who refuses to work with their customers, and when they don't want to deal with you, they put you on an extended hold hoping that you will hang up.

    So apparently Verizon decided I owed them money for a service I have NEVER used. Their solution? Report it to the credit bureau. Thankfully, the credit reporting agency contacted me, and after spending time on the phone with Verizon, I finally got the issue resolved. The bad news? It may take 30 to 90 days for my credit report to reflect the correction. Thanks a lot, Verizon. But wait... it gets better. Less than two hours after I straightened out the mess, a Verizon salesperson showed up at my front door trying to convince me to switch to Verizon service. I couldn't help but laugh.

    I ordered Verizon internet service after Verizon notified me that service was available at my address. From the beginning, this has been a complete headache. First, Verizon sent the equipment to the wrong address to houses away. I contacted customer service and was told I would receive a credit for the inconvenience, but later I found out that was never noted on my account, even though the call was recorded.

    The next day, after my neighbor returned the equipment to me, Verizon told me the internet service I originally ordered was not even available at my home. They offered me a lower-level package that I clearly said I did not want because I need reliable internet for schoolwork and other responsibilities. Now Verizon wants me to return equipment for a service I do not even have, but the return label they emailed me says the package is only 5 pounds. The equipment is closer to 20 pounds, and UPS wants to charge me extra because Verizon put the wrong weight on the label. I have spoken to 3 phone representatives and 1 online chat representative, and they are still telling me I need to go to UPS or pay out of pocket.

    I recently had surgery and cannot just go to UPS myself. I should not have to pay to return equipment that was sent because of Verizon’s mistake, especially when Verizon gave me incorrect service availability information, sent the equipment to the wrong address, and provided the wrong return label. This has been going on for five days, and no one at Verizon has provided a real solution. The lack of communication, lack of proper notes, and lack of accountability from Verizon customer service is unacceptable.

    I’ve been trying for 9 days to port out my number. Multiple calls and in person visits from the account owner, account manager and me. Phone isn’t locked to Verizon and it’s paid for. Account up to date. This has taken MANY hours and I still can’t transfer. Manager says account number has to go online and change security setting. This is after over a dozen customer service reps have told us that we were all set with the PIN code they generated. The customer service reps are telling the owner that this is my fault and I refuse to transfer the phone. So he has been super nasty and won’t take my calls. The reality is that the owner has to go online and release the phone but over a dozen customer service reps haven’t told him that. I’m telling g everyone to stay away from Verizon. The are horrible.

    Verizon does not care about their customers, past due balances calls are routed to AI to have you pay bill before speaking to anyone about your service. They are highly priced and lie. They said they had a power outage but my service was suspended; they even made me unplug my router to reset 2 days in a row. I finally tried via phone to get to the internet and it said my service was suspended after being told no, it was not. But due to the internet outage, it will be 48 hours before getting service. Just sad, if I could give 0 stars, I would. I'm leaving Verizon. Paid the bill this last time and will no longer be with them. Feeling valued is everything.

    Living in Somerville, right outside Boston, I’ve somehow managed to get the worst service imaginable. Coverage is spotty on the roads, and inside a building? Forget it. I’m pretty sure I’d lose signal inside a paper bag. At this point, I’ve started asking random people who they use for a carrier because my experience has been that bad. The overwhelming answer seems to be T-Mobile. It’s amazing that in one of the most densely populated metro areas in New England, I still spend half my time hunting for a signal like it’s 2005.

They said that is not the policy and that there is a buyers' remorse policy and I should get a new phone a no charge. The bottom line is Corporate is pointing their finger at the local dealer and vice versa and not is taking ownership of the issue. If you go with Verizon, ONLY buy your phone through the 1 800 number or call and find out if there is a CORPORATE BRANCH IN YOUR CITY AND BUY IT THERE.

    I switched four lines from US Cellular to Verizon less than a week ago and my experience has been extremely disappointing. I was sold a Samsung phone that I quickly discovered I could not use effectively for my business. I was told I could exchange or return the device within the return period. Since then, I have spent countless hours on the phone, online chat, and visiting stores trying to complete what should be a simple exchange. I have been transferred between multiple departments, given conflicting information, and repeatedly promised solutions that never happened. One representative specifically told me he personally contacted the Verizon store in Washington, Iowa and arranged for me to exchange my phone. I rearranged my work schedule and drove to the store, only to be told that no such call had ever been made and they could not help me.

    I have now spent several hours trying to resolve this issue, including a three-hour round trip to a corporate Verizon location that also turned me away. Meanwhile, I am still stuck with a phone I cannot comfortably use and have had to rely on my old device through a mobile hotspot just to keep my business running. To make matters worse, Verizon also incorrectly designated a newly added line as the primary account contact, creating additional confusion and delays when trying to verify my account.

    I expected a smooth transition when moving four lines to Verizon. Instead, my first week as a customer has been filled with misinformation, broken promises, excessive transfers, wasted travel, and an incredible amount of frustration. The issue itself should have been simple. The fact that it remains unresolved after nearly a week is unacceptable. I am not upset because I dislike a phone. I am upset because Verizon has repeatedly failed to provide accurate information or a clear path to resolve the problem. I simply want the device exchanged for one I can use and for Verizon to honor the information I was originally given.

    I have had Verizon since the beginning when cell phones look liked bricks. I have stayed loyal with this company and yet I am beyond disappointed. I will say I absolutely hate their customer service. I have been told on numerous occasions since November 2025 an issue was taken care of on my account for an iPhone I never had. Numerous agents told me they would put in an ITTS claim and not to worry, my account will be fixed in 48 hours and my service will not be interrupted. Well, my service was interrupted and I am now currently, at this moment on hold with Verizon. This has been going on since November of 2025 and every month I’ve had to call and deal with the issue. It is still going on.

    In fact, look below and here are the dates when they put in an ITTS as well as the tracking number and claim number where UPS said the lost the phone, yet Verizon what’s me to pay $1600+ for a phone I sent back through UPS and UPS lost it. Below is all the information from when everything has been submitted and continuously been submitted every month. There were approximately 4x’s give or take a few an ITTS Claim was put in and escalated.

    1st: December 15, 2025
    2nd: March 26, 2026
    3rd: May 3, 2026: Spoke with Nikki: ITTS #: 11022557 was escalated again.

    4th: Again Escalated on April 13, 2026

    Supervisor: Luis. This shows you how many times I have had to call for the same issue which was supposed be taken care of. It began in November. Here are my most recent calls. April 10. Destin Store Manager Greg and Craig gave Verbal Confirmation to Zac Verizon Representative the phone had been returned to the warehouse. April 13th. Zac (Verizon Representative) told me I had to put in a claim with UPS, which I did. It fact, we were on a conference call. So, he was on the phone when UPS admitted to losing the phone.

    UPS
    Lost & Stolen: **
    Representative: Sam

    Case # **

    Transferred again to Verizon Representative: Noel. ITTS Submitted Ticket to Remove Charges. Noel Turned services back on and said charges will be removed and phone will no longer be disrupted.

    Transferred to Verizon Representative:
    Luis: Supervisor

    Escalated ITTS Ticket

    Joe Verizon Representative gave me the tracking number for the phone and told me I need to take the tracking number and file a police report then Verizon would take care of everything. Guess what, it didn’t work. So, I am sitting here on my lunch break speaking with the Verizon Representative to take care of this issue. In fact, I gave her the dates of the ITTS claims and I gave her the tracking number from UPS. I am now currently on hold. This is the 3rd Verizon Representative I have spoke with today because somehow I got disconnected with the 1st 2 Verizon Representatives. My advice to anyone who is thinking about Verizon, don’t!!!!

    I need to warn everyone how pathetic and vindictive Verizon is when you decide to leave them. I got a new debit card with tap-to-pay. Soon after, Verizon’s auto-pay failed because the 3-digit security code was different. A minor oversight. They emailed me about it and I called them immediately, the same day to pay my bill and update the new card info. Even though I contacted them right away, they still slapped me with a huge late fee. They refused to remove it and only offered a pathetic $5 reduction. After years of perfect payment history, this is how they treated me. I paid the full bill plus their BS fee, and keep in mind, with same debit card after updating the 3 digit code. My account showed ZERO balance.

    I immediately switched to T-Mobile. Apparently Verizon didn’t like that I dumped them after they treated me like dirt, so they sent me another bill for $15 under some vague “Account-wide charges & credits fee.” Wanting to be done with these shysters, I mailed them a check for the $15 with “ACCT CLOSED – PAID IN FULL” clearly written on it. They responded with a nasty, condescending personal letter (not even a bill) saying that because of “previous payments," plural, "being returned" — a complete lie — no payment had EVER been returned, they had destroyed my check and would only accept a money order or cashier’s check.

    Even though I wanted to see them in court at that point, I still sent them a money order for $15 along with a formal letter stating this was the final payment, the account was closed with zero balance, no further fees would be incurred, and that no other contact was needed except written confirmation of closure. (That confirmation, by the way, never came.)

    The arrogance and condescension is unbelievable. This wasn’t about the money. This was pure petty retaliation because I left them after they screwed me with a huge fee. Their behavior is childish, vindictive, and borderline corrupt. Verizon is a failing company that punishes customers for leaving instead of fixing their awful service and billing practices. Stay far away from these bastards. I will never do business with Verizon again, and if you’re currently with them — watch your back if you leave.

    17-year Verizon customer. Got the home internet box with 4 lines on 5g in 2024. Roughly $275/mo. Everything stopped working today at 8:10am. Spent 1 hour troubleshooting on the phone for them to tell me router was bad and I needed a new one. Fortunately I was unable to click on any of the their order verification links (due to the 5g not working which I had to explain several times) until driving into work. Once on work wifi I was able to see they were charging me for 2 more devices at $75 a piece. (See pic.) Before I could even make the call, the prices went up to $95 each. (See other pic.) I called to complain and the new representative blamed me for it and said it’s because I still own my current router and that he “needed to make me understand” it would reflect that price until we sent it back. However, I could see the 2 new charges AND my current router in my bill breakdown. He finally cancelled all the new crap.

    Husband called later and the new rep said the last 2 reps gave incorrect info and there is nothing at all wrong with our equipment and that there was “congestion” at that time of day. This is also concerning as we are very close to the tower and were assured when we signed up for this in 2024 that they limit the amount of boxes on each tower to avoid congestion. Anyway the rep said it’s escalated so someone is supposed to come check the tower and make sure it doesn’t happen again. I guess we’ll see if their shady play on getting dupes to buy unnecessary routers worked on anyone else today.

Called to activate this service and was told that it doesn't exist, but I could pay $25/month for this service. Not happy with this at all, I reluctantly agreed.

    Next bill was back to $60 and I called again. I was again told that I was wrong and there is no suspended service, but they could put it down to $10/month for 3 months only, but that my camera and nest thermostat would still operate. I again reluctantly agreed and had to give consent to this plan. Next time I checked my camera, I found that the internet was turned off and my credit card was charged the full $60. So now I'm paying full price for no service. What a joke this company is. I will be taking the box back as soon as I can and will never use their service again.

    I canceled my Verizon service on May 12, 2026, after 22 years as a customer. At the time, I had 4 phone lines and 3 watch lines. All 4 phone lines were ported to another carrier, and I clearly requested that all services be canceled. Months later, I discovered Verizon was still billing me for the watch lines. When I called to inquire, I was told it was my fault because I hadn't canceled them. I explained that I had canceled all services and asked them to review the recordings from my cancellation call. They said they couldn't review the recordings but offered me a $75 credit for the charges. The problem? The representative still never canceled the watch lines.

    I had to call back and go through the entire process again. Then Verizon informed me that the $75 credit would appear on my next bill. What next bill? I shouldn't have had a bill at all. It turns out Verizon intended to charge me for another month and then apply the credit afterward. The watch-only bill was approximately $120, so the $75 credit wouldn't even cover the improper charges.

    After another call, another representative again suggested this was somehow my fault. I finally got someone to immediately disconnect the watch lines. Then I was told I would still receive a bill for $55, but not to worry because a $75 credit would cover it. They seemed to be forgetting that the $75 credit was supposed to compensate me for charges that should never have occurred in the first place.

    After spending another two hours on the phone, I finally reached a manager who may have resolved the issue. The most frustrating part is that after 22 years of loyalty, Verizon was quietly attempting to collect roughly $250 in unnecessary charges resulting from its own failure to properly process my cancellation request. This was an incredibly disappointing way to treat a long-term customer. Instead of thanking me for 22 years of business, Verizon made me spend hours fighting charges that never should have existed.

    ​I have been a loyal Verizon customer since 2010. To have over a decade and a half of loyalty met with outright mockery by front-line staff is completely unacceptable. As a business owner, my time is a finite resource, and I do not partner with companies that treat their clients with this level of disrespect. ​Because of this complete lack of professionalism and basic operational competence, I am currently in the process of migrating both my personal family lines and my commercial business accounts over to T-Mobile.

    Verizon keeps charging my old credit card MONTHS after I took it off auto pay. I've called numerous times and I basically told "oh well" and charged a few for it. This company had horrendous customer service. I will never use Verizon again and am in the process of switching to a new Internet provider. Don't use them, they will lie to you. Even if I HAVE THE MONEY, they won't let me change my payment method, which is bull.

After 5 months of calling and wasting over 16 hours of time they said they would clear all of it. The next month I got another bill with late fees. They are the worst and rip you off.

    First of all, Krystin at my local Verizon store was awesome, and she did everything she could to help me. My issue is with verizon itself. This is the second time something like this has happened to me. The first time, I went in and paid cash for my phone, then realized that they were charging me for it. I was told that it "was a promotion that didn't go through." Now, for the second time, I am being overcharged again.

    Last year, there was a promotion for a "free" phone. When I went in, of course, I was told that that was only a online promotion. But I could, however, have a phone that they had in store. O.k. However, there wasn't anything said about needing a trade in for said phone. Which wouldn't have been a problem, because I had one that I could've traded in. Forward a year, (my bad for not paying more attention), and I finally realize that I am being charged for another phone that was supposed to be "free."

    Krystin was awesome, I have no issues with her. She got them, after about a hour, to give me a loyalty discount for the mix up, because they weren't able to find the transaction. They sent me a text saying that I have a loyalty discount of 33.00 for 12 months. I got the discount the first month, but now, the second month, no discount. Back to Verizon I go, Krystin is on the phone with them again, for another hour, pointing out the comment section to them, where it shows the loyalty discount. They say that there isn't any way to put it in their computer, so I will have to go in every month to have Krystin be on the phone for a hour, and go over the same thing with them. I also get a email from them saying that the discount is under review, and they will let me know when a decision is made.

    Unfortunately, even though they say that they no longer have contracts, I have a contract with them for 2 more years. Can't wait until it is up, because I will definitely be going elsewhere. Again, Krystin is awesome, and does everything she can for her customers, but verizon themselves are not. Hopefully, in the future they can get better, but I doubt it. I would give no stars if I could.

This has been almost 2 weeks, I am now up to 10 customer service people, including a supposed manager that just stopped responding, so I ended up leaving the chat after waiting for an hour to hear for the next step and lying about the status of my refund, or shall I say, they advised it was going to take a month when the app said 5 days.

    Spent over 2 hours with her to come out still having issues, not to mention a trip to the store, so 11 people "helped" me, yet the problem still isn't fixed. My service has been garbage for about 2 or 3 years ever since they introduced that new 5g just to charge 100 more a month.

    Be careful with this company: worst experience I’ve had with Verizon. Be cautious—they offer “free” new phones, but in reality, they are not free; you have to stay with them for three years. Then they tell you that if you have a phone you still owe money on from another company, they will pay up to $800 for those phones if you switch to them. Everything is a lie. It has been four months, and they have not sent the $800 they promised. When you call, no one knows what you are talking about; they keep transferring you from person to person, and you end up frustrated with no clear answer or solution.

    I've been with Verizon Wireless for 20+ years, across multiple states, and have my mobile phone service and home internet with them. In the last 5 years the quality of their customer service has become abysmal. You cannot troubleshoot via phone call with a live agent AT ALL anymore, and if your issue does happen to qualify for a call back, you will be made to schedule it online through their app. My most recent request stated I would get my call back 4 days from when I was making the request. It's a Wednesday. Not a weekend, nor a holiday. FOUR DAYS without internet?

    I opted for chat help, and after their AI agent realized it couldn't help, I was greeted by an agent who chatted "it's me, I'm a live agent". I have my doubts. I spent 3 hours in chat, 2 different agents completely ghosted me in the middle of troubleshooting, I advised agent #3 of this, who promised they would stay with it and with me in chat until it was solved, and then also dissappeared before resolving anything! I'm just floored by the lack of care Verizon is offering now. I finally disconnected from chat in sheer frustration but before I agent 3 ghosted me, it advised me that she/he/it was creating a ticket to address what their tech agent (from whom my agent was getting info) uncovered as being the issue with my internet no longer operating properly. TREES. The agent created a ticket to "Verizon Site Services" because "trees".

    I was also told I'd be mailed a replacement router, but I've heard that before, it never happened. They lie to your face. I know from experience that in order to get that replacement, I will have to go through every bit of those 3 hours again, read chat from an agent who tells me the prior agent failed to hit "send" (or some such) on the router order "but don't you worry, I have it sent now", and then wait another 2 weeks, and do it all over again.

    I know there aren't many options out there for all-inclusive wireless, and bundling makes life easier, but with customer service like Verizon Wireless is offering, I really don't know how they are still in business, except they make it so impossibly hard to talk to a live person, that there's simply no way for us to cancel our service! The only decent thing I've got from them in the last 5 years is my phone, and they didn't manufacture it, they only sold it to me. Verizon Wireless internet service stinks, and their ability to help customers is nonexistent.

    Paying my Verizon bill is arguably one of the most frustrating experiences I have in the course of a month. They reject newly created passwords if they're not "difficult" enough to guess by whatever algorithm they use. So, of course I can never remember my password and have to create a new one every month. This leads to a ridiculous cycle of trying to change my password on a desktop computer because its easier to see the computer screen instead of a tiny phone screen. Yet it has me confirm my authorization on the phone... then tries to have me change the password using the phone rather than the computer.

    After this repeats a half dozen times, I try to call someone on the phone which Verizon makes virtually impossible to speak to an actual person. Why is it so hard to pay a freaking bill? You would think if you are sending them money, they would make it as easy as possible to receive it. But no, instead of just putting in the phone number and giving card information to pay the bill they make you log into an account. What if I wanted to pay the bill for a family member or a friend. They seriously need to reconsider how they collect payments. I plan on switching providers next month.

    I switched my business phone lines from LycaMobile to Verizon a few months ago after being presented with what I understood to be an affordable business plan for four lines. Recently, all four of my business lines were suddenly disconnected after Verizon billed my account more than $900, which was far beyond what I believed I had agreed to during onboarding. I immediately tried to resolve the issue by visiting the Verizon location where my account was established and by contacting both the representative who handled my onboarding and my assigned account manager. While I was initially assured the matter would be resolved, my calls and voicemails have gone unanswered for several days.

    As a result, my business has experienced serious disruption. Clients, colleagues, and business partners have been unable to reach me for approximately five days because all four of my business lines remain inactive. I understand billing disputes can happen, but prolonged business communication outages combined with lack of responsiveness and support have been extremely frustrating and damaging. I hope Verizon resolves this matter quickly and improves how business customers are supported during urgent service disruptions.

    If you are considering switching to Verizon, here are the pros and cons of my experience. I switched from Cricket Wireless to Verizon and overall, it was a bad decision. Pros: There is only 1. The only positive is that for new customers that would like one of the latest new phones, Verizon will approve new customers and finance a new phone for those people who would be turned down by other wireless companies. I could not get approved for a new phone with service by anyone except Verizon, and I was approved for any phone I wanted. I went with the Galaxy S26 plus, and that is where the pros of Verizon end.

    Cons: I have had service for over 2 months now, and it has been 1 thing after another. My bill is higher than what is quoted at the beginning. Customer service, although is quick to respond and wait times are short, are really very little help at resolving any issues. In the app on your account, you will constantly have notifications of unpaid bills, or even worse, gift cards that you are to receive as a new customer, telling you will be available within 48 but are not available for 8 weeks. Redeeming the rewards or gift cards can be compared to having a root canal done without anything to numb the pain.

    It is a constant back and forth with customer service that seemingly get a bonus to pretend to be helpful but not telling you what is needed to be done to receive these rewards because after 60, you can no longer receive them, it's like they keep you off the trail long enough for the 60 days to pass unless you just happen to stumble upon the process that you must complete while on this scavenger hunt in which case you will also need to be able to tap into any psychic ability you have to solve the riddles you will be given by customer service in order to redeem these cards. I just happen to read all the FAQs one day and after reading over this Verizon book of knowledge, I was able to figure out how the process worked, I am now born again but have still yet to receive my reward card. And to top this cell phone circus freak show, my phone number actually just disappeared one day.

    For 3 days, I had a phone with no number, and this was about 7 weeks after I signed up. Did not receive any text, calls, msgs, nothing at all and spent about 40 min on the phone with what I assume is their only customer service agent that could retain any knowledge after the 3rd grade but I'm sure he probably had done this BS so many times that he could do this while water skiing. 2 stars only because of the ability to give pal phones that can't get one elsewhere.

    Absolutely terrible experience with Verizon. About five months ago, I called because my internet speeds were extremely slow. Verizon told me my router was obsolete and said they would replace it at no charge. A technician came out and replaced the router — and ever since then, my entire home network has been a disaster. Multiple TVs stopped working properly, my Sonos system failed, speakers disconnected, and several devices throughout my home no longer worked correctly. I ended up paying over $1,000 out of pocket to hire someone to repair and reconfigure everything Verizon disrupted. To make matters worse, my internet is now actually slower than it was BEFORE the replacement.

    Then Verizon started charging me over $500 for the “free” replacement router they specifically told me would cost nothing. For over four months, I’ve received suspension and collection notices every single month. Every month I call, sit on hold for an hour or more, get transferred repeatedly, sometimes disconnected multiple times, and every single representative tells me the charge will be removed. Yet somehow the bill keeps coming back. This has been one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I’ve ever had. Nobody seems accountable, nobody follows through, and customers are left wasting countless hours trying to fix Verizon’s mistakes. I honestly cannot recommend Verizon to anyone after this experience.

However, recently I called for financial help with billing and was offered ways to save that would not impact a promotional credits I currently had. Then a month later was emailed about a pretty decent size credit was falling off because of the plan change.

    Obviously this caught me by surprise so I reached out to the executive office. They called me on Mother’s Day. The rep stressed how she loves her customers and her job because she’s been there so many years. She consistently talked over me and acted very passive aggressive. Saying, "Awww I’m so sorry," over and over again. Then double downing on, "Well we will coach our rep for their error but you have to go back to the plan you were on or it’ll cost you," but it was already costing me. Needless to say.

    Just an extremely greedy company. Constantly jacking prices up, and for what? To not actually include anything of value. ATT gives better deals on phones as a continue customer along with grandfathered plans and permanent price locks. Verizon just nickel and dimes you, then threatens to disconnect your account if you complain too much.

    I had been with Verizon for 25 years paying vastly way too much compared to what I am paying with another carrier. I received a bill and tried multiple times to resolve via letter, phone call and dispute channels. No response. They sent me to collections. Try calling customer service and the automated system says “You are no longer in the Verizon Network. Good Bye”. So no way to resolve or get an explanation. Save yourself. Shop around. I went from paying $190 a month for 2 lines, to $20 a month for 2 lines. And they made no attempt to keep me as a customer after 25 years.

    I've been a customer of Verizon for 25 years and I can honestly say that you pay the most for service and get the least from them. They offered me Disney, Hulu, ESPN and HBO free for 1 year. It turns out that I have been paying for all of these services 5 months now. Customer service offered me $20 to cover the 5 months I was billed for these extras, how does $20 cover the money I paid out?

    I'm writing to express my extreme disappointment with the recent customer service I've received from Verizon. Here's a summary of the issues:

    Unauthorized Cancellations: I requested to cancel iPhone insurance for a specific line, and instead, all insurances were removed from my account.

    Incorrect Plan Changes: I asked for a plan change on [phone number], but they changed a different number's plan, leading to unexpectedoutage for my current line.

    Misleading Information: I was told removing 3 lines wouldn't affect my plan, but my plan changed from $45 to $75.

    Dangerous Disconnection: While driving in a remote area, a representative disconnected my service without warning because of a SIM card issue. This level of ineptitude and disregard for customer safety is unacceptable. Please escalate this to the appropriate person to address these issues. Sadly, no way to submit a review.

    They will send Bogus charges to collectors who are difficult to talk with because every time I asked a question, the rude person would speak at the exact same time and not listen to me. I was also hung up on multiple times. And still have no answers. I would not recommend their service to anyone.

    Beware of hidden charges with Verizon. We cancelled our service with Verizon. I got a bill. "Account wide charges $64.23". When I questioned the charge, I was told it was for 2 types of insurance. One at is service at the store. the other is service in your home.??? $64.23 / month times 36 months is $2,312.28. That is hidden in your charges!!! If you have a watch and you don't call them when cancel your service, they will charge you over $22 per watch per month or $800 over 36 months. There are other carriers that are using Verizon towers, and they are lower in cost than Verizon. I still have my cell phones, and I am paying $4 per month for 12 months. Yes, $4 per month. The rates go up on Month 13 but they are still lower than what Verizon was going to charge me.

Their Executive Staff are rude and arrogant, and they want to charge you this fee, that fee, and more fees. Verizon's coverage has gotten worse, and bottom line, they want to soak you for every dime you've got without providing quality service.

    Back on February 8th, I received a tablet I ordered on impulse. I realized I did not need a high end tablet like that, especially after seeing how much my bill would increase. I reached out to Verizon to see about returning the item, they said I had 30 days and they talked me through the process of returning the tablet. So I immediately returned the tablet and they had record of receiving it on February 18th, well within my 30 day window. About a week or so later, I had $1800 pulled from my bank account by Verizon. I immediately contacted them and I was told after being on the phone for over an hour, that they did in fact receive my return, but someone in the warehouse failed to enter it under my account as returned.

    I was told I would be refunded that money, but they advised me to contact my bank and try to stop the payment, as it was showing as a pending charge still at this time. So, I followed their advice, the bank charged me $30, but the payment still went to Verizon. I then had to wait 4 days to get the refund, but they didn't include the $30 fee I had from my bank. Then moving beyond that fiasco, I was starting to get Overdue notices from Verizon and they were showing that I owed them the $1800 for the table that was sent back. So, I had to call them again, and after spending another hour on the phone with them, I was again advised it was on them and that my service would not be interrupted and everything would reflect accurately when the April 8th billing updates.

    On Sunday April 5th, I received another message telling me I was overdue over $2000 and payment needed to be made or service would suspended. On Monday morning, April 6th my phone was disconnected. I tried calling the 611 number to talk with someone, but the automated service would not allow me to speak to anyone, it only allowed me to pay the bill in full. So, I had to wait until I could get into my place of business to use someone else's phone to contact their loyalty department and try to resolve the issue. This was at approximately 9am on Monday morning. I spoke with a man named Chris, which in all fairness, he seemed very knowledgeable and was trying to be very helpful. But he was the only one.

    I spent about another hour on the phone with him, and I explained that my phone is a very key component to my occupation, as I am an executive driver for a CEO of a large company. He assured me he would get my service back online asap, but he said being it was such a large credit needing approval, it could take 48-72 hours. I told him that was unacceptable and he assured me he would do all he could to get me online sooner vs later. We have exchanged several emails back and forth, as that is the only way I can realistically communicate without a phone. It is now after 9am on Wednesday and I still have no service or updates as of right now. It has been held up by what I have been told, a signing off from an upper level manager.

    Meanwhile, I have not been able to do my job effectively, it has been embarrassing to explain this to my boss, and meanwhile, Verizon just lets me suffer and I feel like I am in an abyss with no phone comms. As of now, the only thing they have offered to do for me for the inconvenience is, refund me the $30 bank fee I lost in early March, as well as refunding me the $50 restocking fee for returning the tablet. No bill credit or nothing else has been offered as of yet. I am completely irritated and disgusted by how Verizon has handled this entire situation. I would love to just up and leave them, but I sadly went back to them last November and bought 2 new phones and lines of service, and I still owe about $2000 on both phones.

    When I decided to switch from Verizon to AT&T after almost 12 years of being a loyal customer, it was primarily due to the unethical practices I experienced with Verizon. One of the main issues I had with Verizon was the fact that they charged me for insurance on 6 lines that I never signed up tor. Not only was this a clear case of fraud, but it also showed a complete lack of respect for their customers. I did receive promises that I was going to receive credits. However ...Once you cancel your service. The company becomes a different animal- you’re no longer a customer- all they want is for you to pay them the balance owed. I did receive small credits- 10 % owed- it was a dog fight- waiting on hold for several minutes- call back after call back- finally just threw in the towel. time to move on.

    Another major issue | had with Verizon was their paperless billing system. While it may seem like a convenient option at first, I quickly realized that it was a way for Verizon to sneak in charges that I never agreed to. The bill keep swelling month to month. This was a clear violation of my trust as a customer and made me question the integrity of the company as a whole.

    Overall, I am happy to say that l am no longer a Verizon customer and have switched to AT&T. Not only am I saving money by being with AT&T, but I also have peace of mind knowing that l cannot being taken advantage of by my service provider. Good riddance to Verizon and their unethical practices. I highly recommend anyone considering Verizon to think twice and choose a company that values their customers and their trust.

He had a problem with the register and the return, he called in a Manager. About a half hour later or perhaps longer, the return was made and the account closed. I asked, "Do I need to do anything or do I get paperwork" and he said, "No, you are good to go". Two months later, Verizon bills me. I call and speak to their customer service agents and explain the return. They said they understood and to wait. Another month goes by, I get billed again, and I call again.

    This scenario continues for months and finally, I get a woman named Camille, after talking to David in Customer Service at Verizon and they say they finally found the trail of the return and my balance is now zero. I ask for a copy of the transcript, and Camille says, it will come in 7 to 10 business days. It never came, but what came was a letter from Diversified Adjustment Services and then I get an email from Experian that a credit report was made, and my rating dropped 200 points. What to do?

    I also wrote a letter to Verizon Corporate, but no response. NO ONE wants to help me. I also called Walmart and spoke to the rep and he remembers me and the whole return. He then says he cannot put anything in writing because it is not their policy to do so. Now, I am stuck with not one person wanting to help me and I, the consumer, did everything I was supposed to, but now I'm hit on my credit report and Verizon is insisting I pay them for a service I did not use. To me, this is criminal.

    I had an extremely frustrating experience with Verizon that reflects very poorly on how they handle customer orders and communication. Yesterday, I placed an order for a wireless home phone and was specifically told that the item was available at a nearby store for pickup the same day. Based on that assurance, I chose the in-store pickup option expecting a smooth and timely process. However, that is not what happened at all. After waiting a full 24 hours with no update, I contacted customer service only to be told that my order was still “pending” and could take an additional 5–6 days to process. This is completely unacceptable. If the item was supposedly available for pickup, why was the order not fulfilled as promised? Why was I not informed of any delay in advance?

    Because of this lack of transparency and reliability, I was forced to contact my bank and request a reversal of the transaction. This should never be necessary for a simple purchase. This is not the way a business should operate. Giving customers one timeline and then leaving them stuck in a “pending” status with no clear answers is misleading and unprofessional. Verizon needs to seriously improve its order management and communication processes. Very disappointing experience.

    Absolutely AWFUL! I have been a customer for 12+ years and they royally screwed me over. I finally upgraded my old phone. Still covered under warranty and my phone stopped reading my SIM card (so not able to receive or make any calls or texts). Spent hours on CHAT with them. Spent 3 hours in the store, the guy never has seen this issue. Again though, I am covered under warranty. I should be provided a new phone (that's what I was told/promised). For a week I was told there is a system error and they have their TOP people looking into. NO one got back to me. Then their online agents lied to me and said they were sending me a replacement (gave me FALSE order/ location ID#). Spent more time chatting with multiple agents.

    Then spent an additional 7 hours on the phone, speaking with "supervisors" or "managers" again no one could figure out the system issue and provide me information or the phone I deserve since again covered under warranty. Verizon provided me a corrupt phone. The last manager I finally spoke with said to go thru insurance which means I have to pay $99 now? She promised me a credit and an additional credit for all the inconvenience and lack of support I received over the week. It never should have taken that long and again warranty should have provided me a working phone since my phone isn't even a year old yet. OH YEAH and no credit was ever given to me and insurance sent me a USED PHONE!!!

    I’ve had a really annoying time with Verizon, and I can’t wait to switch when my contract ends. Here’s why:

    1. **Tricky Deal**: I bought a phone online with an $800 rebate. Everything seemed okay, and they said I was eligible. But six months later, after lots of calls, they suddenly said I wasn’t eligible. By then, it was too late to change my mind.

    2. **Price Increase**: I upgraded a phone line with a $500 credit over three years. A few months in, they raised the price. When I asked to switch back, they said no because it would cancel the credit. Yet, they changed the rules and raised my price without canceling the contract.

    3. **Reps Didn’t Tell the Truth**: I got a new phone with a $1000 credit on a new line. I asked customer service if I could swap the phone with another line on the same account and keep the credit. They said yes, as long as it’s the same account. Turns out, they were wrong. The credit didn’t work because they said swapping phones canceled the contract.

    4. "More price hikes" - I’ve been a loyal customer of Frontier internet for over five years, and I’m content with the consistent rate. However, when Verizon acquired Frontier, they made a drastic change by increasing my monthly rate from $45 to $55, which is a significant 22% hike. This sudden increase feels like Verizon is trying to force customers to switch providers.

    Verizon’s terms and services seem sneaky, they don’t keep their promises, and they're super greedy. I’m definitely looking forward to finding a better service soon.

    I’m not trying to leave a negative review, but I do want to share my experience. On Monday the 23rd, I called customer service to get assistance with switching my account to Verizon. Everything seemed to go well — the representative was helpful, the payment was made, and all required documents were signed at that time. I was told that I would receive three phone lines at my home on the 25th, just two days later. Today is the 28th, and the phones still haven’t arrived.

    What’s most concerning is that no one ever called or notified me that there was an issue with my order. I was never informed that an additional document needed to be signed. Instead, I had to take time out of my day to call customer service again, wait on hold, and figure out what was going on myself. When I finally spoke to someone, there was still no clear solution. The representatives didn’t have accurate information and simply told me that the order would now be processed and delivered sometime next week. There was no sense of urgency or effort to resolve the issue or expedite the delivery, even though the delay was caused by an internal process.

    As a new customer, I expected a higher level of service and attention. I haven’t even had the chance to try the signal, the service, or the network yet, and the experience has already been disappointing. Situations like this should be handled with better communication and a stronger customer-focused approach. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, this one falls short. At this point, I’m seriously reconsidering whether I should continue with this purchase.

I called today to inquire about it not being here yet. Verizon informed me that they would not honor this commitment. I have recordings to prove what I am stating and screenshots of the verification. If they do this to an 18 year customer what will they do to you as a new customer? I have contacted the Public Service and the Attorney General over this matter and will continue to pursue this.

    About a month ago I switched to Verizon Mobile and FIOS for home. When you have both services you can link them and by having both get a $15 per month discount. I encountered a problem when I tried to link my accounts. What I discovered is since I had used Verizon 10+ years ago, I could not use my email address as my USER ID for the FIOS account. Also, when I logged into the Verizon website to link my accounts, an old account number showed up as my FIOS account number which is incorrect. Since I couldn't use my email address as my USER ID for my FIOS account, the account representative who set up my new accounts used an arbitrary email address for my FIOS account that is actually owned by someone else.

    This has created a huge problem. I cannot link my two accounts and to view by accounts using the Verizon website and their My Verizon app on my iphone, I have to log into the two accounts separately they can't be connected. I called Verizon today to resolve this issue by having the old account removed from my profile so I can link the two accounts. Initially I spoke to someone at FIOS who transferred me to someone at Mobile who transferred me back to someone at FIOS who transferred me back to someone at Mobile. One of the representatives at Mobile had me talk to someone on Chat while he remained on the line. All told, I spent 3 1/2 hours on the line with the various representatives, and the problem is still unresolved. They literally cannot remove the old account number so I can link the accounts.

    In fact, they can't even find it even though it shows up on their website when I log into my Mobile account. I finally asked the representative to escalate this issue. He said it could take a couple of days to get a response. I said fine, I'll give it two days and if it's not resolved by then I'm cancelling my Mobile and FIOS services. I realize I'm only one of millions of customers so it probably doesn't really matter to them, but I can't do business with a company that is so incompetent.

    Let me just add my 1 star review to the over 9,000,000 that already exist. I had my cellphone service with Verizon for 19 years. Then one day I receive an email from Verizon that 2 new devices were added to my account along with upgraded service to the most expensive option. I immediately logged in to my account and saw the fraudulent activity along with the invoices and additional charges. The charges were made by an employee in the Manalapan NJ Verizon store for two (yes, two) Apple iPhone 11's that cost approx. $2000 total and included a statement that the devices were waiting in Manalapan for me to pick up. So I immediately called the Verizon Fraud department and was on the phone with a fraud investigator providing her with the details.

    While I am speaking on the phone to the fraud investigator from my home which is over 100 miles from Manalapan, I receive another email that another order was just placed from the same store using my account for an Apple Smart Watch and they wanted me to confirm it was me. I told the fraud investigator about this additional fraudulent purchase but she did not seem to care. Later on in that same conversation, I receive another email stating that I no longer need to visit the store to pick up my 2 new devices because they were just picked up. I pointed out to the fraud investigator that it is impossible that I just picked up the phones because I have been on the phone with her the whole time. Again, she dismissed my comment and said let's just finish this fraud claim. She did not seem to care that there was very suspicious activity going on in this store.

    I asked her to call the store and asked who just picked up those orders but she refused. We finally ended the call and the fraud case was initiated. I then tried to call the Manalapan NJ Verizon store myself. The phone rang for 10 minutes and no one picked up. I went to their listing on Google and clicked on their website. I received a message that their website was discontinued and not available. I then clicked on their reviews and discovered dozens of 1 star reviews complaining about the inability to contact anyone in this store, going to the store and having to wait for hours while employees were just standing around, poor service, lack of interest, fraudulent activity, upselling and when one customer started filming the customer neglect with her phone, they grabbed her and escorted her out of the store.

    I left a review on the Google page for this store and also on Verizon suggesting that there needs to be an investigation into the employees in this store because they are the only ones who could have placed an order in my name without my signature and the only ones who could have picked up the 2 phones that were charged to my account without checking the ID of the person picking up the phones. I doubt if Verizon even cares that their own employees are ripping off the expensive devices from the stores and the employees know it so they are black marketing these devices. I was told by the investigator that once the investigation was completed I would receive a credit for all the fraudulent charges and that it could take 2-3 billing cycles before it was reflected on my billing statement. They told me to just keep making the normal monthly payments of the normal amount I was used to paying. That's when the harassment started.

    I was receiving threatening emails and text messages advising me that my balance due (including the fraudulent activity) were incurring late fees and penalties and that I needed to make payment in full as soon as possible. They were also reminding me that I needed to activate the 2 devices that I had added to my account! I was so aggravated with the snail pace at which this fraudulent activity was being reconciled that I shut down the account and went to T-Mobile to transfer the service and the phone number. They said the phone I had from Verizon was not compatible with their software so I had to buy a new phone. So I purchased the new phone and the service was set up using the same phone number. After the fraudulent charges, along with late fees and penalties were still on my billing statement 4 statements later, I finally called the billing department.

    The agent in the billing department reluctantly reads the notes on my account and says to me, "oh, I see here that the investigation was completed a month ago and there are fraudulent charges that need to be credited back to your account". I said, "if I had not called you today, would those credits have ever been issued?" "Probably not", he said, because we would have had no reason to access your account and read the notes". I could not believe what I was hearing. So he makes me wait for about 5 minutes while he issues the credits. When he tells me he is done, I ask him to sign into my account and confirm the balance due is now $0. He says he can't because it will take a day or two for the credits to post.

    So I wait the 2 days and guess what? There is still a balance due on my account that should not be there. So now I have to call the billing department again and they agent reads the notes and finally credits the rest of fraud, bring the balance down to $0. I have been in company management all my life (50 years) in various companies and I have never, ever, witnessed such a disregard for employee theft, accurate billing, customer satisfaction and employee training. I WILL NEVER AGAIN OR EVER RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE EVER USE VERIZON WIRELESS SERVICES. Me and over 9,000,000 others.

How was the business company determining the monthly price and I walked out of the re"tail" store with a set monthly price. Lastly when they say they offer discounts through your job as long as you send in documentation be careful!! They only stalk you and want to know your information. Needless to say...

Verizon will not allow phone calls from the relative to be received. They somehow identify the call as spam and direct the call to voice mail. We are prohibited from receiving the call and therefore can't assist the relative. This unilateral decision on Verizon's part punishes not only the inmate but the family.

    The representatives (we are now speaking with our third representative on a call that has lasted 75 minutes) have no answer. This third representative just asked us if we had the identification number for the correctional facility! The support team indicates that this is a policy of Verizon.

So our new senior citizen plan is now going to be $213 a month. As you can see, Verizon could care less about long time customers. Oh and if you try and cancel, they have a bunch of hoops you have to jump through to even get a pay off.

I have called Verizon 6 times in the past 2 weeks to convince them that I have not received a phone yet and to just cancel the order/account. I am still trying to work through this nightmare. I had Verizon in the past for many years and liked them very much but things with the company have changed to the point that I will never do business with them in the future (once I wrap up this nightmare). The good thing about consumers is we can spend our money where we want to.

    On March 14, 2026, I ordered an upgrade iPhone for my wife by a promotional offer online from Verizon to upgrade and get a newer iPhone for free by the 36 monthly credits. I had to pay off the remaining balance on her current phone which I paid all the fees Verizon said was owed by Debit card and selected to pick up the new iPhone from a local Verizon Authorized Retailer that was listed as a pickup location and the iPhone would be available in 1hour. I received a confirmation number and my account was changed to show the new information by Verizon.

    After 5 hours I still had not received any notification from Verizon to pick up the new IPhone so I checked my Verizon account by the Verizon app which showed the local Verizon Authorized Retailer had not received the order yet. I went to the local Verizon Authorized Retailer where the salesperson informed me they had not received the order because Verizon customer service had not completed the order. I went home and called Verizon customer service and after several waits for the service person to check on the details I was told the Internet Team was checking into what happened and I explained how unhappy and frustrated I was. While I was on hold again I received a text that I would get 25% of eligible lines for a year. When the customer service representative started telling me that there was an “Electronic Communication Problem“ and it could take 24 hours for the order to process to the local store.

    25 hours later still not processed and I wasn’t able to cancel the order. I called customer service and they had to cancel the order. I have to wait 3-5 business without picking up an order that I couldn’t pick to begin with before the order will cancel and my money will be refunded. I was completely frustrated and informed the customer service agent I would be filing complaints with the BBB and the FTC for fraudulent practices.

    I had an appointment at the Lihue, HI store to pick up a phone I had purchased on the Verizon website. I signed in at the store at my scheduled appointment time. I was messaged on my phone that the wait time was 7 minutes. I left the store 1 hour and 15 minutes later without my new phone and without ever having contact with any store employee. I was never greeted, never spoken to, never acknowledged. Oh, and I did shower and shave before the appointment, put on deodorant, and was dressed appropriately. There were still 3 people waiting in front of me when I left. The 4 employees helping other customers were more interested in upselling than taking care of the customers. I cancelled my order online and ordered my new phone from Apple, and will just wait for the home delivery.

    when I retired, I went to Verizon to switch my phone over to a personal account. Verizon offered me a rate of $142 a month for 3 years. they assured me after talking with manager this was the best rate. This was just to switch my phone over from a corporate account to a personal account. I accepted. Later I was advised by some friends this was a ridiculous rate. I went back to Verizon and they informed me I could start a new account and get a new phone for $40. I walked out and cancelled my service. Verizon says I still owe on the 3 year contract. I said they owe me $1400 for over charges and misrepresentation. I had no intention or responsibility for a corporate account and should have been informed of my other options.

    As a senior citizen and not having had a personal phone account for over 10 years, I feel they took advantage of me and used fraudulent business practices. To resolve this matter with Verizon and their attorney, I sent them a check for $50 for full settlement. They cashed the check and I assumed the matter was resolved. A year later they turned me over to a collection agency. This more than doubled my outstanding bill and ruined my credit rating. I recommend all senior citizens avoid Verizon.

    Have been with Verizon for well over 25 years and the customer service keeps getting worse and worse and the errors are unbelievable. The customer service reps either don’t understand/comprehend what you are asking on the other end or are just plain ignorant. This week within 48 hours I have wasted 2 hours and 40 minutes of my time that I will never get back. They canceled an order that was shipped to me in error and really had nothing to say about it. Waiting for refunds on two orders that were cxd one because the store never fulfilled it and the other cancelled out of incompetence. Called to ask about my refund on my canceled order and somehow that ** cancelled my shipped order and had UPS send back to them. Will be moving all 5 of my phones.

    I’ve had nothing but problems with Verizon’s service. It’s extremely frustrating when your phone service stops working even after the bill has already been paid. What makes it worse is that when you try to contact support, they tell you to call a number that requires them to send a verification text message. If your service is down and you can’t receive text messages, how are you supposed to verify anything or get help? It makes absolutely no sense. The entire process feels poorly thought out and incredibly frustrating for customers who just want their service restored. For a company as large as Verizon, the customer support system should be much more accessible and reliable. Overall, my experience with Verizon has been very disappointing. The service has been unreliable and the support process makes resolving issues even harder. I would not recommend Verizon based on my experience.

    WOW. The Verizon Scam is really big! Reliable network? Weird price increases. No data or service many times. 10 months. Metro PCS and Boost on 4g never fails. Verizon is a scam. Stuck. This sucks really bad. One rep agreed that if I'm not getting the service they promise then yes I can cancel and return the phone. The tech guy verified there were issues in my area, but too bad so sad, you're on a contract. I have no connection many times sir, he said, "There is a problem in your area. Should be fixed in 11 hours." So I'm stuck with something that they admit does not work good in my area, but IT IS WHAT IT IS. 55 PLUS SENIOR PLAN, A SCAM. PLS, STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON.

    Stay away from Verizon for Business. Customer service is the worst. I've been on the phone with them 3 times and 1 time by chat. I ordered a new line and they gave me a free phone and told me that my monthly bill would be around $120.00. When I received the phone, I found out the bill would be $225.00 so I never activated the phone, called them and told them that I was going to send it back. They emailed me a shipping label. I sent the phone back and confirmed they received it and then I got a bill for $225.00 which I had on auto pay and the next month the bill was for $275.00. I called the customer service, that was almost impossible to understand what they are saying due to them talking too fast. They told me they would refund the money to my checking account but never did. Bear in mind, the bill was supposed to be $59.00 and change. I called them again and they assured me that the money would be refunded. Never was.

    I called my bank and disputed the charges and the bank gave me a conditional return. Now I've had a chat with them online and they say I owe them $675.00!!!!! After chatting with them for over an hour they gave me some story about pulling a ticket on their side and my current bill is now over $275.00. Impossible company to deal with. Stay away. They put all those commercials on TV when they should invest that money in customer service. Such a waste of time and energy. I've had accounts with T-Mobile for over 20 years and never had this kind of trouble. I thought I'd try Verizon but what a mistake. Don't do it unless you want to waste hours of our time and energy.

    I have been a Verizon customer since I was 17 years old. I am now 33. I can not tell you how many times over the years as time has gone on, how many issues I have had with this company. Examples:

    1. Both my husband and myself received multiple random charges on our bill with no explanation. "One time Administration fees" or "One time service fee" for absolutely no reason at all from the company.

    2.They refused to offer us a family plan for the two of us. Even though we'd both been loyal customers for years. Spent 3 hours in a Verizon store for them to tell us this.

    3. They tried to tell my husband when he wanted to switch service that he had to get a new number. Which I think now is actually illegal for a company to hold your number hostage.

    4. When I finally canceled my service, they charged me for a full month with no adjustments for 2 days of leftover service, AND THEN tried to charge me an extra $20 because I couldn't use the CREDIT Verizon customers were given for losing service for 2 days in January because I cancelled my service before the following bill it would've been applied to. THEY WERE LITERALLY TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR LOSING SERVICE FOR 2 DAYS. On top of that the customer service agent at first tried to lie to me and tell me it was a device charge which I knew was untrue because I had paid my phone off MONTHS before.

    DO NOT SWITCH TO VERIZON. They are absolutely abysmal with service, greedy, and will do anything to squeeze every dime out of you.

    I paid full price for my the previous model. Samsung ultra. They made me pay extra for higher memory. Now they offer me a free upgrade. And I found out they are crediting me the same price as a lower memory, lower cost as my upgraded samsung ultra. But yet, when I get the same exact size memory on the free upgrade I have to pay extra. So they are giving the same credit for cheaper phone than mine and giving me an upgrade that's technically downgraded, when it comes to memory. When I contacted support, they said they treat them all the same. Except for when it comes to selling them, then they don't treat them the same. And they cost more.

    I would like to nominate Verizon Wireless for Best Magic Trick of 2026 🪄 — because somehow, they made my money disappear twice. I made a simple payment arrangement. The deal? Half one week. Half two weeks later. Basic math. Two different dates. Not complicated. Instead, Verizon said, “Surprise!” and took both payments on the same day… split into two separate transactions like it was some kind of financial jump scare. 💸💸

    This is the second time this has happened. So I call. I’m told, very confidently, that the money would be refunded to my checking account in seven days. I even received a text message saying the refund would be in my account today. Today arrives. The refund does not. I call back. Now suddenly the story changes. I get passed around like a hot potato nobody wants to hold. Finally, I speak to a supervisor who tells me — very casually — that the ONLY thing they can do is give me account credit.

    Not put the money back in my bank account. Not honor what their previous representative told me. Just… credit. When I ask to speak to someone above her, I’m told there is no one. When I ask who I’m supposed to speak to, I’m told I can “keep calling back” and it won’t change anything. That’s not customer service. That’s a shrug with a headset on.

    The representative was rude, dismissive, and had the emotional warmth of a voicemail system. And the first rep? Either wildly misinformed or flat-out dishonest — because why else would I receive a refund notification text? If this has happened to me twice, it’s happening to other people. Money isn’t Monopoly cash. People budget around those arrangements. This isn’t just “bad service.” This is “we’ll take it when we feel like it and tell you a different story every time you call” service. These calls are recorded, and I will absolutely be calling back and requesting they be reviewed. Because at this point, the only consistent thing about Verizon is the inconsistency. Do better.

    I’ve been with Verizon for over 10 years. I switch to Verizon business in 2024 and at that point made a huge mistake. I made my final payment and felt everything was fine. I maintained my account and make regular payments. I applied for credit and later found out Verizon sent my account to collections and my account was marked as a charge off. I never received any correspondence or phone call about any pending charge. This all happened when I switch from regular Verizon to Verizon business. I tried to complain but the damage was already done. Verizon business has customers service reps that barely speak English. They make you hold on the line for hours at a time. I feel let down and just want out. Once my devices are paid off I’m running as far as possible from this company. They lie and hurt your credit. If you’re looking for cellular services don’t trust these guys. They lie and cause damages. I lost all faith in them and feel extremely let down.

They told me that I was five days past the date and that I have to get a new phone number. OK fine I set up a new phone number.

I live at a hotel so I upload the documents that I had. Some people say they wouldn’t accept it. Some people said they would accept it.

    Sunday I get a notification saying that they did not accept the notification the paper that I submitted and so the lady said she was going to cancel the phone that I ordered so I can get my refund back mine. I didn’t pay $250 for the phone and then I paid $400 past due phone balance. They tell me they can’t verify who I am so they have to cancel the phone that I ordered and then the amidst of that the woman cut my phone service off so my phone was on 24 hours 30 hours before these people turn my phone off leave me with $151 bill. Today or a week later they update the bill to $64. I’m not paying anything so now I’m on the phone and I’m on hold.
