    Stay clear of Verizon, they constantly raise your bill! If you go in the store, make sure you're paying close attention. I have been deceived by every sales rep I ever talked to. Once our contract is up, we're out and I will never recommend Verizon to anyone. If you like disputing bills, being lied to, and taken advantage of, Verizon is for you!

    I switched from AT&T to Verizon because I was promised that Verizon would send me a credit to pay off the remaining balance on my phones from AT&T. Since January, I have received no resolution and no payment. I have called customer service at least 10 times, and every representative gives me a different answer with no actual help. Now I am stuck with a $3,150 balance from AT&T that could go to collections if I don’t pay it myself. This has been extremely stressful and disappointing. On top of that, the Verizon service has been terrible. The lines are frequently down, and the internet connection is very poor. I regret switching to Verizon and would not recommend this company based on my experience.

    Worst phone service ever. They keep raising the price despite my contract, and mobile data is poor. It takes a long time to load sites, and editing photos or watching videos on mobile data is impossible at times. Turns out I had to purchase Wi-Fi to get phone reception in my condo, and even that was poor because they turned up extenders on other residents' Verizon plans, which kept kicking me off my calls. It was common for calls to drop 4 times in a 20 min. call and to lose video 4 times in a half-hour show. Now I'm paying an outrageous price to bail on them.

    I’ve been with Verizon for over 20 years. I’ve consistently been dealt with huge financial errors caused by Verizon employees only to be told, "Sorry. We will coach our employees." I will say I have dealt with some fantastic employees who have helped in huge ways as well by offering me some savings due to errors caused by them. 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. Do not ever get Verizon. They always lie about everything. If anything ever sounds too good to be true. Believe it! It’s too good to be true.

    I don't appreciate something called "all apps" being installed on my own phone without my knowledge that's not actually all apps, just a single sneaky app that tries to push AI-powered lock screens with annoying pop-ups. Definitely looking into other provider options that don't try to trick their users like this.

    I have been a Verizon customer for over 2 years. I have had nothing but horrible service. I complain every week since I’ve had the service. They do the same trouble shooting tactics every time. Nothing. Network always buffering or dropping gps. I have contacted the fcc before. All they did was offer a payout for a bill and tell me if it’s bad get another phone service. Like wow. But you guys advertise as the number one service so guess that false advertisement. On top of that I literally call once to twice a week complaining. I do a lot of driving and gig work. I miss messages that come in late. Don’t get alerts and it’s the service but they like to say, "Oh it’s probably your devices." So my device is making the 5g and bars go up and down. Let’s stop the bs and be accountable. You're charging too high for a bad service and I’m so over it. Frustrating and stress. You want hundreds of dollars a month with shitty service.

ATT gives better deals on phones as a continue customer along with grandfathered plans and permanent price locks.

    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.

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.

    May with Verizon overseas stating she was supervisor and couldn’t transfer me to a United States rep and this is why I don’t speak to anyone overseas; I am writing review now on Consumer Affairs, I am paying over 150 a month and have no phone service when I ask to speak to United states based rep they say I have to call back in. They can't transfer but transferred last week, I have ran into problems with overseas stating I was a valued customer and to make things right they would send me an iPad free. I just pay taxes then I get a bill and the rep states they cannot track the recorded call that was overseas, I get an upgraded phone because valued customer and do for upgrade no charge to me and end up paying for this phone.

    Then lastly phone keeps showing sos agent says free of charge we will send you an extender for your phone for no charge. I asked how much he said free I asked again how much he said 150. But will send for free. I called agent. They said no not free. It's 150. I pay my phone bill every month. I should be getting service. This is unacceptable.

    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. Feeling stuck and frustrated.

    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.

    I have been with Verizon Phone Services for 8 years. Suddenly their Billing System changed. I have been paying $36 monthly for one line, then I was charged for two lines. I went to the Verizon Store and spoke to a Supervisor with the name of Michael and assured me that it was corrected. Not only it was a false information but the whole Billing System was changed. I was being charged for two lines and being informed that I have past due payments. From $52.60 per month for one line, I was being charge $118 for two lines and was threatened that my phone services will be terminated if I do not pay. Enough was enough! I changed phone services from Verizon to AT&T. I pay more but their Store Customer Service is outstanding. They have a System that can track my services and what I signed for. Verizon must put their act together and improve their Customer Service and Billing System. They will surely lose many customers.

    This is a review of both Walmart and Verizon Wireless. I will say just BEWARE. I purchased a special for trying a flip phone FREE and Verizon pay as you go plan. The plan and phone had a two-week no-hassle return, full refund if not satisfied. I was not satisfied and returned within the 2-week period. I returned the phone to the same Premiere Rep at Walmart. 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.

    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.

    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.

With purchase, we added a Verizon corp store screen saver, with a verbal warranty by store manager 'bring it in damaged and no questions asked to replace'. Tried to do that today at a company store in Lady Lake FL. I was told to bring in original box (1400 miles away), and then work with manufacturer to replace. So I have a cracked protector next to my ear and told to work with manufacturer, who is??? I need to memorize these things. Bottom line, Verizon will sell it to you, take your $$, but give you "0" customer service. Buy a screen saver on line and get it for a fraction of the Verizon "warranted" price. The warrantee is a chase your tail exercise.

    Verizon was not a good phone company to have. That's why I left and they are still wondering why?!?! Let's start about when I first signed up. There was not supposed to be any money down and then they made some story up about taxes that I was paying for in the beginning. Meanwhile the advertisement said "turn in your phone from your previous phone company and we will upgrade you with no money down". Second My bill would always change and was not the same monthly. 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... They don't follow through with the advertisement they promote. Business is probably going under. Prolly why they have to push so hard!!!

But they are able to pound me to get paid for my first 3 weeks of service that I can’t even use. They have lied over and over telling me my phones have shipped out 2 day air. Lie they told me they reshaped lie they tell me they can’t contact the shipper “of their choice” ups and that they can’t help.

    This is not directed at the representatives we interacted but specifically towards Verizon operations. We have a distant relative who is incarcerated. 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. This is a horrible and cruel policy; families in this situation are subjected to actual mistreatment through the incompetence of Verizon management.

    I’m back with Verizon further past 2 months & wish I had not changed back to Verizon after 2 years. First it took me 7 calls to get help with the pricing issues, promised service, plus technical help with the internet tower issues. The pricing finally got resolved but I should not have needed to keep calling to explain what I should be getting like the 2 service discount (cell & internet) plus the promise to match or better what I had prior to this change. It really sucks & I'm not happy with Verizon. My internet still won’t reach throughout my house despite adding an extender thingy. The cell & internet service get spotty some days and both are mostly slow like 10 years ago!. Dropped calls or calls that don’t go through. I have received texts that are invites fur events that I get too late to attend … taking more than 24 hours.

    When I had Verizon previously I switched because one middle of the night when I dislocated my hip I dialed @ dialed 911 but the call wouldn’t go through!! Shocking but I now hear Verizon pulls all sorts of crap. They are the first company to give up all your records and track you despite your requests to leave you off their map because of being harassed! Yes you heard that right. It happened at work & I had to alert the police per my company and I also filed a law suit to protect myself. If anyone files a class action against Verizon let me know.! Wish I had not switched.

    The internet connection in my phone worked intermittently. The store called the warranty department who said I needed a replacement and they would overnight a new phone to me. Long story short, I waited two weeks for the replacement because every time I called they said the order wasn't placed properly. When I finally got the phone, it wasn't the one they promised. It took two trips to the Verizon store to set up the phone properly. After all that, Verizon never even offered to comp me for the month my phone barely worked.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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 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.

    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.

    Verizon wireless is absolutely terrible. You shut off autopay and switch service and they still charge you regardless of turning off auto pay. They tell you they'll do something and then they don't and then they have so many hidden fees and BS charges. Would highly recommend not using Verizon.

    I was a Verizon customer. Recently left Verizon and took my number to another carrier. I paid out all my devices. Even after doing that Verizon randomly turns my imei as lost or stolen sabotaging my signal during hours that I cannot contact customer service for support. I think this is a cowardly mode since I did pay off my all devices. With this being said I would never ever go back to Verizon. I'd rather buy myself another phone where they do not have my imei information. Please be advised and do not fall for their scam. I am leaving my review. Sincerely a very sad customer that works very hard for her money.

My new provider I am looking at going with will give me a phone and a cheaper plan and insurance and all the things I have NOW at verizon for 92$ a month. It will go down in a year to 65$!! I am a FOOL for even trying to TRY to stick it out with them. Whoever is doing the Marketing for Verizon has the game MESSED up because there are TOO MANY better deals going on!!!

    **STAY AWAY**. THE SALES PEOPLE AT THIS STORE ARE CON MANS. They are 100% commission-based, and get paid when they collect a signature from you. They could care less what happens or doesn’t happen after they collect their commission. STAY AWAY FROM THIS STORE. I never had service with them, yet they sent me to collections without even telling me and without my knowledge. My credit score used to be 800+ and it dropped to 620 because of Verizon. I have filed a complaint with Massachusetts Attorney General to ban these crooks from doing business in Massachusetts. I THEY ARE CRIMINALS. **STAY AWAY**.

    In November 2025, I went to this store, signed up for a new phone to be delivered to me by UPS, and signed up to switch my cell phone service to Verizon. Three days later, I changed my mind. I called the store to ask them to cancel my order. The guy in the store said they can’t cancel the order, but told me to not accept the phone when it arrives, and have UPS return it to Verizon. He also said not activate the service. He said because I won’t activate the service, the order automatically will cancel and I don’t need to do anything. When the phone arrived by UPS, I did not accept delivery and did not accept the phone. UPS returned the phone to the shipper, box unopened.

    I received multiple emails from Verizon asking me to activate the service. I did not, based on what the guy at the store instructed. Fast forward to February 2026, I receive an email from a Debt Collection company saying that I have an unpaid debt of $112 to Verizon and have to pay them the debt.

    I just want to let everyone know that I would not go to Verizon Wireless. They have Scam me several times. They had lied. They had made promises and guarantees that they could not keep so therefore I am in the process of filing a small claims lawsuit against them for unauthorized charges and for them to break promises and guarantees they promised me that they did not keep. I do have evidence of the chat heads that the agents had promised and never did keep so I would advise that no one go through Verizon because they will scam you and rip you off. These people have no right to do this to people and to take their money and then make them wait two to three weeks to receive some of their money but not yet keep their promises and guarantees as this is a contract. If I was to break my promise and shut down my contract they would charge me for that and it would go against me and drop my credit rating.

    These people are not worth going to and I would advise everybody to read this review and to be upstanding with it because everything I say is true. I have called them over 7 days and I have a spent hours and hours on the phone wasting my time with different agents and supervisors hanging up on me and lying to me about the promises and guarantees that they were supposed to keep and that they did not. I would advise everybody to get out of Verizon wireless and get something different because these people are straight crooks and they will rip you off and they had took so much money out of my bank that they had put me over $200 in the hole and now I have to wait 2 to 3 weeks to receive.

    What I hoping to receive is my refunds that they illegally taken out of my account. I wish I had a good lawyer to do this but with all the evidence that I have I will provide it to the judge in a court of law and let them decide what is right and what is wrong but I promise one thing Verizon has not an outstanding performance when they comes to the evidence I have against them. Please be aware. Take heed to these people and beware.

    I want to share my experience so others can be careful. A door-to-door representative came to my home on February 18, 2026 and told me that if I paid off both of my existing phones, I would be reimbursed as part of a promotional program if I switched service. Based on that promise, I went to the store and paid off both phones, totaling about $500.

    After everything was completed, I was told that the promotion either only applied to one phone or was “not part of the program” at all. In other words, what I was told at my home did not match what the company later said they could honor. I would not have paid off those devices if the offer had been explained correctly.

    My advice to anyone considering switching:
• Get every promotion in writing before spending any money.
• Do not rely on verbal promises from door-to-door sales.
• Call the company directly and confirm the offer yourself before agreeing.
• Keep all receipts and documentation. I’m now having to dispute this to try to recover the money. Just hoping others can avoid the same situation.

After a year of fluctuating bills, (which were never lower than we were quoted a year ago, normally about $20 higher) they now tell me the promotional deal we had is no longer available. It was supposed to be unlimited 2 lines and Internet with two new phones for $163.00 a month, the average I pay has been $183.00 and now they told me that my deal which was allegedly protected from price increases, is no longer protected from price increases. I will now need to pay over $200.00 a month for two lines and Internet. Buh-Bye Verizon.

    ⭐ 0 Stars – Extremely Disappointing Experience. I have spent the last two months dealing with Verizon customer service, totaling nearly 28 hours on the phone and speaking with more than 30 different agents. All of this was just to resolve a simple issue: a refund for taxes on new lines and a bill that continued to be sent for an account I had already cancelled.

    For an entire month, no one could give me a clear answer about my refund. For two months, no one could explain why I was still being billed. Every call meant repeating the same story, wasting more time, and dealing with unnecessary stress. Only recently did someone finally tell me the issue was “fixed,” but until I receive an official email or mailed confirmation, I honestly cannot trust that it’s resolved. What made this experience even worse was asking how Verizon planned to compensate for the time, stress, and inconvenience—and being told they could not do anything. After everything I went through, that response was extremely disappointing. This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever had, and I would give 0 stars if I could.

I trusted this company and they showed their loyalty to me by taking advantage of me. Now I’ve been dealing with it for months, trying to get it straight and all they do is keep transferring me around, and I have pulled all my bills for the last calendar year and have found that they have stole by over billing me well over $2000 and I still cannot get a manager or financial representative on the phone to go over these bills but yet they have the audacity to keep harassing me over $1500 that they say I owe them.

    I have made multiple attempts to get this problem solved and I am so tired of talking to someone who barely can speak English and when I get frustrated, they just hang up on me and will not let me speak to anyone in the financial management department. It’s really sad that after as many years as I’ve been with this company that it took me finding out the hard way that they bill you for stuff after you’ve had it removed from your account. I will never have phone service with Verizon again. They are no different than a common thief and their customer service is by far one of the worst I have ever dealt with.

I got into a stupid Chat window and told this person or AI if you can keep my bill at $180 (what I was paying), or even lower, with (4) new phones (2 iPhones and 2 Pixels) I will stay with you. This conversation went on for at least an hour or more. The AI or person finally said that they could not do that. I said fine, and said I would be switching to TMobile. They said fine.

    I asked to have the Chat transcript texted or emailed to me and the thing told me that they don't keep these Chat sessions which I know is bullshit. I went to T-Mobile and was able to get the 4 Phones I requested from Verizon and I also upped our plan to what would have been the next level up with Verizon for under the $180/month. Now getting the numbers ported over is the headache. I did mine first and I wish I would have done mine last as once mine was ported over they kicked me out of my Verizon account. I can't login to create other port PINS for the remaining 3 phones. Just a heads-up to do the main account phone number last so you can keep your login.

When I got on the app & explained what was showing up on my end, she said that didn't make sense & that's not showing up on her end. I said this is why I have to call in & make a payment.

    I then tried to explain what the other agents told me when I paid before & she kept interrupting me & went back to what was showing up on my app. When I told her again & tried to explain what was showing up, she then just said, "Are we understanding each other?" & I said no.

    I had the worst experience with Verizon, was a customer from Nov to January 2026. The fraud started at the BE mobile verizon store in RSM CA, the manager bluffed with with nice plans and in reality when the billing was generated , it was a huge amount, after that i had calls with Customer represenatative to negaotiate why they charged more, for all the things they promised, it was never in paper, Always ask for email when you are dealing with verizon, they dont keep their words. I had great respect for verizon before I joined the network, now I feel it full of fraudsters and expensive billing. You will be bluffed with promises by the verizon. I left that hell now.

    I have been customer for over 10 years. My bill raise every month and customer service is not able to help me. The bill is not clear about the charges that I need to pay. The company promised good deals but they failed. Every month I have to negotiate and customer service is not to able to help properly. My bill start to raise after my husband decide to buy a phone more than year ago and pick up a plan for internet. They offer a good plan for adding an internet at home and new cell phone but the company raise every monthly the bill… they promise to adjust the bill but this not working.

    Verizon completely misled me when I added two additional lines to my account. I was clearly told that I would be receiving two phones for free, which is the only reason I agreed to move forward. Shortly after, my bill jumped from $250 a month to $410, which is outrageous and completely contradicts what I was promised. When I reached out for help, Verizon showed zero accountability and no willingness to correct their mistake. Instead of admitting fault, they hid behind confusing statements and fine print, showing no concern for their customers. The way they handle situations like this feels dishonest and predatory. Rather than being understanding or working toward a fair resolution, Verizon makes it incredibly difficult to switch or fix the issue, almost as if they punish customers for trusting them. This experience has been frustrating, expensive, and unacceptable.

    I have been a customer of Verizon for 40 years now. Recently, we moved to a new house that has 5g service. A year ago, when we moved in, the service was OK. Within the last year, all I have been able to get on my wife's phone and on mine is 4g and one bar. I have called about this several times with no change or even a call back. Tell you the truth, I don't want to call and listen to a bunch of people read off a card to fix the issue and then get transferred to another department that asks the same exact questions and this will go on all night, only to hear "We need to send someone out and we will call you back."

    Well, last night was it, my phone won't download because of the slow speed. Anyone that calls me I can hear them and they can't hear me so I have to hang up and call them back. After trying over 4hours of fixes again, I was offer a promo deal. Weird, I have to upgrade to get a service that I pay for to work properly. Now my wife and I have Samsung S23 Ultras bought at the same time. After all the crap last night, they said I was eligible for a upgrade and since they now feel like it is a device issue from a phone I paid 1400.00 two years ago.

    Tonight I went to the store to switch out the phones and get back on the road. Hours and hours of wasted time. The store said they can't do anything for me because there was no promotion. So I am sitting in Verizon's parking lot talking to customer service, who still will not work with me. Now they tell me to file an insurance claim and get a new device. I'm sorry you are not providing me with the service I pay for every month. Verizon, it would be easier to send out the new phones and have a heppy 40 year customer but instead they will not do anything for me. To be honest, it is a joke, if this younger age knew what loyalty was, the customer service industry would be much better. At the end, the guy told me I just wanted to get phones... Lol, never even listened to the problem in the first place. Like they are not providing me with service.

    I have been a loyal customer of Verizon for 14+ years now. In fact a month and a half ago they started sending me messages stating because of being a long term customer they wished to grant me $20 discount on my monthly bill. At first I thought yeah what's the catch & I ignored the messages. But they kept coming, so finally I contacted them, to my surprise, they didn't want anything but to grant me $20 discount for 1 year. Paid my bill yesterday, on the 2nd month of that year discount, surprise my discount was gone.

    After spending a very long time on hold waiting for the sales person to fix it, finally she claimed she fixed it. Feeling annoyed I quickly stopped our talk. Just to find a text on my phone 10 minutes later, stating this request I submitted is under review. Seriously Verizon? Of course i paid my bill paying the over charged price.

    We transferred two lines after being assured by a Verizon salesperson that no activation fees would apply. One line did not function properly, and customer service directed us—through a difficult and ineffective automated system—to visit a Verizon store. There, only one phone was successfully activated. We were sold a senior plan for two lines and again assured that all activation fees would be waived. Despite these assurances, one number was never fully transferred from Mint and remained listed under Mint as the carrier. Verizon later claimed we were responsible for the charges. A supervisor specifically promised that the activation fees would be removed; however, we only had service for two days and were billed for an entire month.

    This process took over an hour and a half and involved repeated conflicting information and unfulfilled promises. I am requesting removal of all activation fees, correction of the billing to reflect only the actual days of service, and written confirmation of our account status. Based on this experience, Verizon’s customer service—including its automated support system—was unacceptable. Customers should not rely on verbal assurances that are not honored.

    On 12/4/25 I tried to start an account with Verizon via their online presence. Estimated delivery date 12/19 because the iPhone 17 was on backorder. 12/19 came and went, and I finally called back on 12/28. On the second call I was told the phone was on back order and would be here on 1/9. 1/9 came and went. I called back on 1/17 (Mon) and was told a problem resolution ticket was opened, and I would get a response within 48 hrs. (**) I waited again and finally called back on Friday.

    The Friday call lasted over 2.5 hrs. Transferred to about 9 different reps and finally get told that my best bet was to start a new order. I told them I did not want to go through that again, and I was assured that it could be copied and I would not have to do that. Of course, the next person tells me he needs all the information again. After going through that effort, he tells me the second phone is on backorder and will be available on Feb 6th. (This started on 12/4). I ask if he will give me the phone with less memory, while the one that I wanted was ordered. His response was that I would have to receive the 128 phone, then trade it back in for a 256 phone and wait for the upgrade to come in.

    I lost about 5 hours of time waiting on hold over multiple calls (mostly on hold while the next rep was reviewing the order only to be told that I was getting transferred again.) So the resolution was that I could wait for another month (considering the first order never happened, I have no faith the Feb 6 date had any merit). My resolution was to go pay more money and get an AT&T account. The good news was that the 2.5hr phone call today was mostly on hold while they reviewed the account to figure out who to transfer me to next.

    It was spent getting an AT&T quote and writing reviews on every platform I could find. If someone were to ask me how much it costs to get a Verizon account started, I would tell them over $500. The time I lost from work to wait on hold trying to get a new Verizon account. I would end the conversation that after losing $500, I still did not have a Verizon account, but they offered to start me from the beginning, but this time around it would be different. It was different, they no longer offered the phone I wanted that was available to me on 12/4, but they would be happy to downgrade me. One star is too high for my experience.

After days and days, we received a call from a salesperson who said he would be at our house X day at X time to make an offer that would include internet. Our internet server is Breezeline and their customer service is horrible. Our service went down last year, and it took almost two weeks for Breezeline to restore it, costing us thousands of dollars in reservations. So we made the appointment with Verizon.

    The guy never showed... No phone call, text or email. We waited for hours, ruining our day. He later said he had a long call and left his phone at the customer's house. BS. He could have called from another phone. He showed up a few days later, late, and was very nice. Promised us all kinds of things. Said he would be back the next morning to install and explain the system. He never showed, while we waited for hours.

    My husband started reaching out to sr. management and for weeks, we have been getting the runaround. Meanwhile, boxes of equipment that we never ordered and have no idea what to do with started being delivered to our business. We have a Verizon account, and this equipment was charged to our account without our permission. Since then, it has been nonstop phone calls and more BS. We are now getting ready to take all of the boxes to a verizon store to demand a refund for stuff we never ordered. We have still not received a concrete proposal with a cost estimate.

And then get told that I have to upgrade my data plan because I'm on an "old plan" and pay more money?

    I get told that every single time this happens so it seems like there is no software update which causes the phone to go slow and forces customers to HAVE to upgrade. I could be wrong - This is just my point of view based on a few years with this company. But I need a WORKING phone for my job regardless.

In early January, a chat agent promised delivery on January 5 — nothing came. On January 10, I was told again, with many apologies, that the phones were fully set up and guaranteed to arrive on January 13. I waited the entire day. Nothing.

    That afternoon, I spent over six hours chatting with multiple agents, only to be told to contact Verizon again the next day. Despite being extremely frustrated, I did.

    The next agent promised a solution through in-store pickup, sent confirmations and receipts, and instructed me to pick up the phones at 6 PM on January 15. When I arrived at the store, neither phone was available.

    At that point, it was obvious that Verizon agents were repeatedly giving false delivery information, even when the devices were clearly not available. This was not a shipping delay — it was a pattern of misleading customers just to end chats and buy time. I canceled everything. Verizon is no longer a company I can trust. Delays happen. Inventory issues happen. Lying to customers does not need to happen. If Verizon had been honest from the beginning, this situation could have been avoided. Extremely disappointed.

I was paying $45/month for my previous service. That plus $15 for each of the watches would be $75. I figured another $15 for taxes and the monthly should be under $100. So I was expecting the first bill to be over $100. When I got the bill it was over $200!

    I looked at the bill and found that they charged $40 per line activation. So right away, the bill was $120 just for the "privilege" of doing business with them. I was then charged $17.99 in taxes and surcharges per $15 watch line. Yes, you read that right. Blew my mind that taxes and surcharges would be higher than the actual monthly charge. And this was not for all lines or both watch lines. This was just for 1 watch line. The other line had ANOTHER $17.99 in taxes and surcharges. So just under $36 for something that cost $30. The only thing that I can think that would account for that is that the $40 activation fee was included in the taxes and surcharges. But then, that can't be it either because of that taxes and surcharges for the phone line.

    At the store, I was quoted $45/month. When the bill came, it said $75 per month minus a $10 monthly credit for 3 years and a $5 credit for having my own phone. That's $60 per month. Now, if I have 2 lines at $30/month and I am charged $36 in taxes and surcharges, you'd think if I had another charge for $60 (2x30) the taxes would be $72 (2x36). Nope. The taxes and surcharges on the phone came to $7.52. I looked and the estimated bill for the next month was still over $100 since the amount I am being billed for the phone is not what I was told I would be billed for in the store. Long story short, I switched to Xfinity. I got a year of cell service for free for a year and each watch line cost $10. So I went from over $110 / month to $26-$27 per month. Xfinity has an activation fee of $25 per line so the first bill would be a little over $100. The same as Verizon's regular bill.

    We were without service for almost the entire day due to Verizon’s outage, which caused major disruption for our family and work. We have 11 lines on one account, and every single one was affected. Verizon’s response? A $20 credit per account, not per line — which feels insulting given the scale and duration of the outage. What makes this worse is that AT&T service was up and running while Verizon customers were completely cut off. Emergencies, work calls, data — nothing worked. Reliability is the reason you pay a premium carrier, and Verizon failed when it mattered most. Poor communication, minimal accountability, and a token credit that doesn’t come close to covering the inconvenience. This outage and Verizon’s response have made our decision easy — we’re switching to AT&T.

    My Verizon Internet Gateway device failed on Monday around 6 PM. I called Verizon, waited over 20 minutes for assistance, was told a new device would be sent, to expect delivery in two days. No device received at end of day three. All my mobile hotspot allowance had been used because I was using my phone to hotspot for my home business computer for three days. I went to the local store who could not provide a replacement cord for the gateway, could not refresh the mobile hotspot allowance, could not compensate me for three days without Internet, and lied by saying the device had been delivered. When I was suckered into signing up for Verizon Internet, a gateway device was provided to me by the local store, yet they somehow cannot provide replacements when the equipment fails within 2 years, or help in any other way.

    This company is only good for WiFi/home service. Cell service is the worst in the business (nj/ny) not to mention the constant outages. Horrible cell phone service all around. I feel stuck based on phone payments. PS I went to upload a receipt to verify this review, and the Verizon app is down. Just par for the course with this god awful company.

    Clearly, the worst cell phone service on the market. Very poor even before this outage. Can’t wait to go back to T-Mobile. If anyone is thinking to go to Verizon because of the price you get what you pay for. They are the worst.

    This latest outage from Verizon has been the last straw for me. Between pi**-poor customer service, being too expensive and now this! I went to a Verizon store before I know what was going on. All the "customer service" rep told me was to go home and wait it out! I think I am going to switch to Comcast mobile to bundle it up with my cable TV and internet. It will come out significantly cheaper. It's really a shame because Verizon was good when I first got them. It is as if they get you as a customer, at which time they gradually take more and more advantage of you.

    Worst service ever. Verizon Business has been beyond frustrating to deal with. Every time I call, the communication is overseas and there is a clear language barrier. Calls are constantly disconnected, and I rarely get a resolution. For a business line, reliability and clear communication are essential, and Verizon has failed on both. Extremely disappointed and would not recommend for business owners who value their time.

    I am writing to formally complain about the internet service I am receiving under my current contract. The service quality falls far short of the terms stipulated in the sales contract and is causing significant disruption to my personal and professional activities. Issues Encountered. Low Wi‑Fi Signal Strength – The wireless signal throughout my residence is consistently weak, leading to frequent dead zones and unreliable connectivity.

    Frequent Connection Interruptions – I experience recurring disconnections and drops in service, often multiple times per day, which makes it impossible to maintain stable online sessions. Insufficient Upload/Download Speeds – The actual speeds I obtain are well below the minimum upload and download rates promised in the contract. My speed tests regularly show results that are [X]% of the agreed‑upon bandwidth. Contractual Non‑Compliance – The above shortcomings constitute a breach of the service level guarantees outlined in the sales contract, which expressly require a reliable Wi‑Fi signal and minimum speed thresholds.

    Impact. Inability to work from home and loss of productivity. Disruption of video conferences, online learning, and critical communications. Additional costs incurred from seeking alternative temporary connectivity solutions. Requested Resolution. Immediate technical investigation and remediation of the low‑signal and connection‑stability problems. Provision of a temporary solution (e.g., a hotspot or signal booster) until the service meets contractual specifications. Compensation for the period during which the service has been sub‑par, in accordance with the contract’s remedial provisions. Written confirmation of the steps that will be taken and a realistic timeline for full compliance.

    If these matters are not resolved within 10 business days of receipt of this letter, I will be forced to pursue further actions, including filing a complaint with the relevant consumer protection authority and seeking legal remedies for breach of contract. I trust that you will give this complaint your immediate attention and restore the service to the level promised in our agreement.

    Verizon wireless is not a dependable carrier. My android phone has lost service due to Verizon's unreliable service on numerous occasions. This has left me in dangerous situations, especially when traveling out of state. The strange thing is, the iPhones don't seem to lose service as much. Possibly, Verizon wireless cannot accommodate different types of phones at the same time? Pretty sad and scary for such a large and expensive company!

    I've been a VW customer for 15 years. They used to be a high-quality wireless service. I never experienced an outage or issues with coverage. Within the past 2 to 3 years service has been terrible. There have been major outages and the service is terrible now that they have started to let other carriers piggyback off their network. Today is 1/14/26 and have not had service for the past 3 hours. I will be going to AT&T.

    I switched to Verizon in November 2025 and deeply regret it. The transfer was a complete disaster—two days wasted, hours on the phone, and more than five technicians involved. Several agents even hung up because they didn’t know how to fix the issue. My bill is over $30 higher than promised, one of my paid lines still doesn’t work, and trying to reach Verizon again is pointless. Once I’m finally able to speak with someone and get my bill corrected, I’ll be switching providers immediately. All the hype for what has been an absolutely terrible experience—nothing but frustration and disappointment.
