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.

I was very upset. Customer service was very poor answering my question. No reason why we were out of service. 😢 I think I am going to change service. The tech don't know how to talk to people. Had sick husband at could not get in touch with me. I anxiety at work. Worried about him.

One of my Biggest regrets!!! Customer service is awful to deal with. I can spend hours on hold for simple issues. Dishonest billing and false information stay away!!! And now major service issues to make everything worse. I had no idea that such a big name company can have such a awful company structure and get away with it.

It is not a surprise, they have a whole 1 star rating on Trust Pilot out of 5. With such awful customer service... I am a military member and they cheated us. They sold me a sim card promising military discounts and great coverage on base. Coverage is very bad and eventually no discount... Customer service is awful. When I send request, they usually contact me back in the middle of the night, 2 am, when everyone is sleeping. Then I see the message that "we are closing this chat, because you didn't respond" [2 am]. During the day, there is no sense to talk to digital assistant who just keeps repeating the same message.

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.

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.

Hands-down, the worst phone company I’ve been with. I pay over 180 a month for one line. My data never works. My phone was bought brand new. It was freezing. I’ve complained about my phone for 10 months and the 10th month. They said I’m under warranty and I can get another refurbished phone when I complain the 1st weeks of having it, honestly feel like I was scam. I was told that half of the phone price would be knocked off. It was not. I have to pay full price for the phone. The promotion was a scam so at the end I end up paying full price for a phone that was defective. The moment they gave me worst customer service I’ve dealt with worst supervisors I’ve dealt with. I would not recommend Verizon Wireless to no one.

Verizon is so crooked that they will not let you record them, but at the beginning of each call they say that they are recording you. They owe me $1200.00. I got tired of waiting for my credits and cancelled my service. Then they say I owed them for not finishing out my “contract”. I was a customer for 33 years and was never late on any payments. Verizon then reported me to the credit bureau to ruin my PERFECT credit score. No one gets great credit by not paying their bills. I refuse however to pay crooks. Then they get creditors to harass you that also will not let you record them.
When I asked Verizon to listen to their own recorded calls to prove their lies they told me I needed a court order. I advise everyone to record their calls to prove how they lie. They will hang up on you when you tell them you are recording THEM. Why? Seems strange that they can record you, but will not let you record them. These crooked companies should be put out of business.

I paid $650 for a phone that never got returned and never got credit for. Then they charged me another $630 this month that I called corporate talk to Josh. He said just pay 283. I went on a payment 283 I put in. It charge me $630. Not what I authorized. When you call them to make adjustments they tell me there’s nothing they can do.

After working with this company, on and off, for over a decade, I've yet to have a single experience with Verizon that has resulted in hours of my time and less than adequate outcomes. My latest experience was no different. I spent three hours to set up two new phones with, and providing payment. A week later I check the site, and there was a problem with the payment, and they were giving me until two days later to resolve it (no email sent, and I had already received confirmation it would be paid). I spent another hour on their "payment portal, on two different browsers with four different credit cards, and an error occurred, and I was given a number to call.
After another two hours on the phone, wanting to charge me an additional $10 "convenience fee" and through a similar portal, the same issue occurred. They transferred me to another department, and I still haven't had the issue fixed. I'm ready to return the phones and go back to my previous provider that has crappy coverage because at least I can get service without hours on the phone of computer. Again, not a single positive outcome with Verizon after addressing dozens of issues over dozens of hours over nearly a decade. The absolutely worst of the worst when it comes to customer care. Do yourself a favor and choose another provider and save yourself hours of frustration.

I decided to add Verizon Wireless service alongside my existing Verizon FiOS account, believing it would simplify account management by having services consolidated under a single platform. During the migration to Verizon Wireless, I was not provided with an online account or any method to pay my bill, either online or with the assistance of a Verizon representative over the phone. As a result, my service was at risk of disconnection, including the potential loss of a phone number I have maintained for over a decade.
After multiple attempts to resolve the issue, I was advised to visit a Verizon retail store to make a payment. Unfortunately, there are no Verizon stores accessible in my geographic area, making this option impractical. Despite the fact that the inability to make payment stemmed from system and account provisioning issues on Verizon’s end, my account was reported to credit bureaus, negatively impacting my credit score. This outcome occurred through no fault of my own, but rather due to Verizon’s inability to provide a functional billing or payment solution.

My husband and I went to Italy in 2023 with our pixel 3As which we liked. We came back and our phones no longer worked and three tiers of Verizon customer service could not fix it. Finally, a Verizon store employee offered us the pixel 7 without telling us it was a new contract offer. We thought it was Verizon fixing the problem. It was not our fault that our phones no longer worked. What it really was was a $700 credit that we could have used to choose which phone we wanted to upgrade to and it was a contract for another 3 years. We hate our pixel 7s.
My husband switched to Xfinity since we have been having ongoing issues with Verizon in other ways. We then got a $220 buyout fee on our account. We called when we found out about this and the customer service person said he would refund this for us because of all of our issues. Well, it never applied and there are conveniently no notes about our conversation and now got customer service is telling us they will not refund that. Verizon is absolutely ridiculous and lies all the time. They have tricked my mom into changing plans multiple times for what seems like a better deal but then actually does not include all of the things they told her it would.

I left Verizon after 18 years as a customer because I was paying over $150 per month (and I owned a phone that was paid off). I switched to a service and I am now paying a small fraction of what I did under Verizon. Additionally, their customer service has steadily declined over the years. I am no trying to straighten out my last bill to them so my credit is not affected, as my last bill shows a balance that is double the actual amount. I have been hung up on repeatedly and am spending a lot of time (my second day now) trying to resolve it.

20 years of being a customer and I’m done. I feel like I had a pretty solid run when I was a customer under the personal plan when I switched to business, the nightmares began. Not only did it start with problems, but calling to resolve them took up excessive amount of time just to be handed off to another department or worse-dropped. It caused crisis that could’ve been avoided, lost business time, undue stress and vanishment of trust. Just to wait a month to see if what happened verbally actually showed up on my bill-then repeat the engagement with customer service by phone because they wouldn’t serve me at the actual location, it had to be handled by calling to solve. There are ravines in their support processes, not just gaps. The people are doing the best, the processes are broken. They can’t be successful supporting customers if the business decisions are eroding the customer experience. I’m taking my business elsewhere.

I called in previously to change my plan, and the customer service representative told me they could apply the current promotion, which would save us $90 per month (we have 9 lines). When the savings never appeared on the bill, I called back to follow up. At that time, I was told there was no record of the original call and no notes indicating that this promotion was ever offered or applied. I then asked whether I had been speaking with an AI representative during my initial call, as the information I was given turned out to be inaccurate. The representative I spoke with during my follow-up call would not confirm or deny this.
This situation is extremely frustrating. I feel misled and frankly scammed. I have been a loyal customer for many years, and I expect accurate information, transparency, and proper documentation when changes are discussed or promised. I would like this issue reviewed, clarification provided, and the promotion honored if it was indeed available at the time of my original call.

I was a solid Verizon customer having purchased all my cell phones (iphone, google, back to iphone) over the years. I upgraded 2 iphone Xs in 2023 or 2024 for 2 iphone 15, and purchased 2 smartwatches and a cellular ipad at the time due to a promotion they were advertising. We had unlimited data and the average monthly bill was ~$325.00. I decided to retire in September, so as a lead up to retirement, I wanted to pay off the devices in order to have a more manageable monthly bill. I paid off the phones in August along with the monthly bill, and in September, I paid off the watches and the ipad, along with the monthly bill. I asked the customer service rep to confirm that moving forward, my bill would reflect only SERVICE, which he did. Imagine my surprise when I received the October invoice in my inbox for $310.09!
I called Verizon, terminated all service and paid that outrageous service bill. I thought I was done with them. I signed with another provided and didn't look back. I received a November invoice in my inbox for $178.86. I called Verizon and spoke with Prim who made me aware I still had two open devices with Verizon. The agent I had spoken with in October terminated service on three of the five devices. I informed him I was not paying the bill as the mistake was on their end, not mine. I called in to terminate all service, I made them aware as to the reason and my displeasure could not have been missed. He assured me he would terminate the remaining 2 devices and to disregard the bill.
In December 12/22), I received an invoice in my inbox for $174.79 ($4.07 less than the previous month). I called Verizon and spoke with John. I went through the entire case and he, like Prim, assured me that the bill would be scrubbed after confirming service to the outstanding devices had indeed been terminated by Prim in October. He also told me to disregard the bill. On December 28, 2025, another email alerting me to the need to pay an outstanding bill of $174.79 hit my inbox. I called Verizon and spoke to Fred. I gave him the reference number provided to my by John describing the actions surrounding my issue and the various contacts with Verizon I have made.
Fred explained that "it is in the contract I initially signed with Verizon" that they bill IN ADVANCE and that since the billing cycle runs from the 25th of the month to the 24 of the following month, that is the reason for the outstanding balance of $174.79. I terminated service on the 28th of the month so I was already into the next billing cycle. My bill for $174.79, for four days of service with Verizon, was acceptable to THEM. Being that I cannot fight what I don't remember being in a contract I signed many years ago, or remember being told this is part of their business model, I will pay the bill if not to simply be done with this robber baron once and for all. Beware of doing business with them - they deceive and obfuscate. Verizon may have been the only game in town at one time, but no longer. You can do better with literally anyone else.

I signed up for home internet with Verizon, the promotion I signed up under was to recieve a Nintendo switch, a 250.00 Amazon card and a 200.00 Verizon gift card. I spoke with 27 people who assured me my gift cards were coming. It never came and they are denying the promotion existed. I have spent over 60 hours of my time trying to get what I was promised. I asked for the fine print when I was told I should have been told by all 27 people I spoke to that it didn't qualify because the first available date to install my internet was after the promotion ended even though I was enrolled at that time. I asked for them to send me the information to review that makes this claim or outlines that procedure and was told no.
I read tons of reviews where this is happening to everyone, including on better business bureau and this is happening over and over. It seems like fraud and bait and switch. I am a single mother to two children, one of whom is disabled. This was our Christmas money and I had to Tell my children Christmas was going to be small because this gift card wasn't coming in time despite being told repeatedly it was coming no later than 12/19 and then no later than 12/24 and now today on 12/29 I'm being told I never qualified and they can't show me why. They stole my kids' Christmas and do not care. Someone has to care about this. My lights are getting shut off as a result of using bill money to cover what the gift cards were supposed to. Please help my family get some kind of accountability on this matter. My kids are great kids and they don't deserve to be sitting with no power because Verizon lies.

Overcharged, said they would waive fees then didn’t do it. Bought 2 iphones and 2 watches and they put all 4 in one of our names vs dividing into individual names: spent literally 10+ hours working with bots, text chats, phone calls, and back in store over a months time trying to step by step fix their mistakes, One of Customer Service Reps on phone said he would fix incorrect naming of 1 of the phones then call me back to help get 1 of the watches in right name: Never called back. Never fixed wrong name issue.
Terrible experience—Terrible company—No accountability and WHEN they mess up: which they will likely do in several ways you have to go through crazy maze of bots, bots, and more bots, then wait after wait before contacting a human.

Where do I start? Got the 4 line plan set up online with the free I phone 17 pros. Got the phones in The mail 3-4 days later. All good right? Wrong! 2 of the phones were able to be activated 3 days later (Xmas holiday). Mine and daughter's were not and still are not 8 days later. Apparently our account has an “order pending” and they can’t figure out how to fix it. After countless hours on the phone with the tech, core activation, tier 2, and porting department no one can fix the issue, so I was told I’d have to go the a Verizon corporate store and they would be able to fix the issue on that visit. Wrong!
I waited for the next opening date 12/26 went in. Worked with a very helpful manager at the Murphy tx location, 2.5 hours later no resolution only to be told they’d have to open an “ays” ticket that could take up to 7 more days to resolve. Keep in mind Verizon shut off our existing phones 3 hours before they got delivered on 12/22. So lo and behold I have had to purchase 2 burner (prepaid) phones for my daughter and I at a cost of 125$. Today is 12/29 and have had no info from Verizon (gave my wife’s number to them for follow up) so I have a brand new iPhone 17 pro and it’s useless.
If you’re thinking of going to Verizon wireless DO NOT, I would not wish this mess on my worst enemy. They said it was 1 in a million this happened to me, funny the customer at the Verizon store working with another worker had the exact same issue as I did. Biggest problem I could find was each and every employee had no idea what the last person did or does. They claim the file is updated for each call and the calls were also monitored. You’d think I would hear from someone in charge at some point rather than the typical call center employee with a thick accent. SO FRUSTRATED, maybe this piss poor review will get something happening.

I spoke with the a manager here because Verizon was offering a switch up deal. From their selection of deals that I could've picked, I didn't because the sales manager picked for me, assuring me that THIS was the best deal from the selected options. Don't believe them they're lying, Verizon is lying. There is no deal. There's only the taking of your money until you complain, complain, complain, and complain some more and maybe you'll get your money back.
I also spoke with some of the general staff, who valiantly emphatically assured me that they would help fix the problem of the overcharged bill. And in their attempt to help me increase my bill by $120. Can you imagine that? Someone trying to help you and by helping you they increase your bill for $120 in this economy? No thanks. I don't need your help, not if it's that kind of help. Thank God I wasn't laying on the ground needing life saving assistance. Can you imagine what that would end up looking like?
In addition, I was assured various times that I would not have to pay the bill that was almost 3 times as much as I was initially quoted by the inaccurately, possibly conniving, possibly dishonest, possibly malicious, possibly inept sales manager. To no avail. Instead auto pay took money out of my account.Switching from one inept service to another. (Pssst...They got us by the guts we could choose not to use phones, but in this world not so likely.)
I requested for the business manager to reach me several times. Eddie could not be bothered. Then I face to face spoke to the store manager Walter, who assured me he’d call me back at 2pm the next day. Nope. Again was lied to. I left AT&T because I had spent so much time trying to get my account and my phone to work. This was a very big mistake not only does my phone still have only two bars.
Now I'm paying three times as much, (well at least in this bill) which I was told I would not have to pay till the end of December even though it's a mistake! Verizon decided to say “screw your Christmas” and they took $400 out of autopay not on the 31st as promised, but on the ninth, because the Grinch is alive and well living at Verizon. Not sure if the managers get some sort of cut for overcharging, Do they make their numbers look good for the month and then finagle and try to fix bills for the following month? I'm not sure, I don't know why these vile actions would happen and what the benefit is but they are vile and the benefit is not to the customer. They will cheat you if you let them. Don't let them!!!! Don't use Verizon.

Once we disconnected service and switched to T-mobile, Verizon charged us a $300 fee for a non-returned box, although there was no communication or return label offered, and they still refuse to allow us to return a brand new box and refund us the $300 although due to their poor service and communication.

On Sunday, 12/21/2025, I called VZW Customer Service at 800-922-0204 at 2pm, and spoke to a John or Joan. It was difficult to understand what his first name was because of his accent. I called because I wanted to upgrade my wife's & mine S21+ Samsung Galaxy to the S25+ promotion based on an offer I received via text message, $1000 off for each phone. In addition to upgrading both phones, I also wanted new numbers for both new devices, and I also wanted a third line to be used for business purposes.
In addition to the two new devices with new numbers, I also wanted 2 Otterbox Defender Pro Cases, one in Black, and one in Mountain Majestic, and 2 Zagg Invisible Shield Fusion XTR4 Eco Screen Protectors for Galaxy S25+. I wanted to retain the same bill of $166.43 a month, not a penny more. I was on the phone with John or Joan for over 2 hours and 40 minutes, working on getting this order processed after John or Joan confirmed that he could provide me with everything I requested. All this exchange is recorded. Then John/Joan got his manager, Robert, on the phone because he couldn't complete the order.
Robert, his Manager, got on the phone, and he apologized for the amount of time I spent on the phone. He said that he would get me exactly what I wanted based on what John/Joan entered in my order: two new S25+ Samsung Galaxies with 2 new telephone numbers, 1 S25+ Galaxy in Silver Shadow, and 1 S25+ in Navy with 2 Otterbox Pro Defender Cases, one in Black and one in Mountain Majestic, and 2 Zagg Invisible Shield Fusion XTR4 EcoScreen Protector for Galaxy S25+ with an upgrade on our calling plans for $166.43. Robert promised that he would get me exactly what I requested, but he needed to consult with his marketing team and stated he would call me on Monday, 12/22/2025, at 3 pm with the finalized order details.
The total time I spent on the phone between John/Joan and Robert, his manager, was 3 hours 7 mins, 33 seconds. Robert never called me on Monday, 12/22/2025, at 3 pm. I waited until 4 pm before I called VZW Customer Service at 4:10 pm & 4:51 pm and spoke to Cheryl, a Manager to file a complaint against Robert regarding my order. I spent 31 mins & 25 seconds with Cheryl on the phone regarding my order, and she couldn't complete my order because she could not include the 2 Otterboxes and 2 Zagg Screen Protectors in the order after Robert confirmed on a recorded call that it would all be included for the price of $166.43.

My experience with Verizon has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating. From day one, everything was confusing, poorly handled, and disorganized. I placed an order on December 19,and since then it’s been one issue after another. I received contradictory information from different representatives, spent hours on calls, and was repeatedly told the issue was “resolved” when it clearly was not. Every time I contacted support, I had to explain the entire situation again, as if no notes or history existed.
There was no clear communication, no ownership of the problem, and absolutely no proactive follow-up. For a company as large as Verizon, this level of inefficiency and lack of customer care is unacceptable. The most frustrating part was not just the issue itself, but the lack of empathy and real solutions. I wasted a significant amount of time and still did not get proper resolution. I would not recommend Verizon to anyone who values their time or expects reliable customer service.

We went from 325/mo to over 800/mo, all while dealing with the worst phone service I’ve had. It continues until Kasey ghosts us.

My new husband added me to his Verizon phone plan and purchased a brand-new iPhone 16 for me for Mother’s Day 2025 while we were living in Conroe, Texas. Almost immediately, I noticed that my phone would randomly go into SOS mode while I was at work. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. After we got married, we moved to the New Braunfels area, and the problem became much worse. My phone now goes into SOS mode every single day, and the issue continues to escalate. Over the past two weeks, I have spent several hours on the phone with Verizon and inside a Verizon store speaking to representatives and customer service.
Every single time I call, I am forced to start completely over, as if no notes are being documented on my account. I am repeatedly told there is an “error,” but no one seems able to fix it. On a Friday, I was promised a replacement phone would arrive the following Monday — it never did. When I called again, there was no resolution.
My husband and I then went into the Verizon store and spoke directly with the manager, who contacted Verizon customer service. We were told an extended warranty would be added to my line and that I would receive a follow-up call on Monday. That call never happened. I am a caregiver, and my job depends heavily on being reachable. My boss relies on me, and it has been incredibly frustrating — and concerning — when she cannot get in touch with me due to my phone being in SOS mode. This situation has caused unnecessary stress both professionally and personally. This is, without question, the worst customer service experience I have ever had.

At this point I was on the phone for over an hour just wanting to look at an invoice online. Their solution was to mail hard copies which would take several days to get here and I needed to see them that same day. Ended up ending the call with nothing resolved. I don't understand why the client was set up as an end user rather than the administrator. That would have avoided this entire debacle.

Well to start we have been customers with Verizon for over 27 years with consistently 10 plus lines on our acocunt. We were there when they were just getting started. Everything was fine. We were always willing to pay a little more because the service was good. In 2023 the owner of the account passed away. So I immediately moved 3 of the lines to an account in my name. This is where the trouble began. Aside from the loss of a loved one our monthly payment for 3 lines was as much and more than it had been with 10 plus lines. Because we transferred our lines to a new account we lost the promotions that went with the phones on those lines thereby increasing our monthly payment even more.
Then in October we were going to move the lines back to that account because like us the spouse of the deceased account owner called Verizon and spoke to them about the loss. Well I am not sure how it happened but they continued on with only changing the name on the account. When we called to switch the lines back it was discovered the account had the deceased owner's social security tied to the account. So right then and there it had to be closed. Obviously we were very upset. Since the spouse had already contacted Verizon we could not understand why this was not properly handled from the start. So the representative then helped facilitate moving the remaining lines to my account. Because of the confusion of the situation not being handled properly it was granted us all the promotions placed back on all the lines. Fabulous! We were so grateful. Except it was a nightmare.
We started being billed for text messages, phone call minutes, plus all the applied promotions being charged back to the account. Making our bill very large. I then called and spoke to a representative again explained the big long ordeal and they again reapplied the promotions to the account. Plus credited the account for being charged the minutes and texts since we pay for unlimited. During this entire time my line and only my line began having issues. I was paying for the 5g ultra wide but barely getting 4g. Lte.
Well I reviewed the account again and low and behold again charges for text messages and phone call minutes and charge back of all of the promotions. Again I called and spoke to a representative after a long conversation and speaking to their supervisor I was then told the system would not allow them to put the promotions back onto the account. By this time I was getting more and more upset and frustrated. 1 it is bad enough that when you loose your loved one and have to move accounts you lose all the credits and promotions you had. I could see that for all other reasons but a death that's just rotten. 2. 27 years a customer and promised the promotions because verizon made the mistake just to be told too bad there is nothing we can do just rotten. So I fussed at the representative and hung up the phone.
Began looking for another service provider when I received a phone call from a Verizon Executive. Fabulous! She was amazing! She fixed whatever it was that was happening to the account amd kept a close eye on the account for a couple of months. The account was in good working order by March 2024. 7 or 8 months later.
During this whole time I was still having problems with my service/device. I had made several calls to the troubleshooting department who attempted to help me resolve the problem. It has been over 2 years now. We didn't move, I didn't have the problem prior to changing accounts. By now I have in this order reset network, did an e-sim, did a new physical sim, replaced the phone for the exact one, then got a newer phone, did the network reset, then did the e-sim then did again a physical sim, then verizon also replaced the new phone with the same new phone. Each time each call going through the full troubleshooting process with tech support. No change. Not better. Sometimes I completely lose service and nothing will work unless connected to wifi. Nothing will run or operate on the device.
All the other lines on the account at the same address work fine. In fact the first phone I had when this trouble started is being used on another line on the account with no problems. The same one I had problems with. I have been told Samsung had a lot of operating system problems in the phones I had. One person told me there was a glitch in my profile on the Verizon system itself and made claim to have reset my verizon profile. None of that has changed any of it. Still having the same issues with my phone. I called and wanted to leave a complaint regarding the whole experience this last TWO years. I have a lot of business activities I need my phone for. The most important being the caring for the spouse of the deceased account owner.
Well I received a call back from someone at Verizon. He proceeded to tell me that he has reviewed everything and the problem is I live in an area that does not get good service from verizon...Speechless yeup I am 20 minutes from Downtown Phoenix. The service map is blood red for nearly the whole state of Arizona. None of this was a problem until I moved my line to a new account. All the other lines including the phone I had that switched lines worked no problems no issues no service interruptions. The representative said he could offer an extender to get better service from them. VERY angry by now. Are you kidding me?. Which points about my issue are you missing?
I asked and If that does not fix my issues he then find another service provider. WOW! WOW! WOW! Unbelievable. Simply amazing. 27 years 20 plus lines issues with charges for text and minutes on unlimited plans 1 line out of 10 plus lines and it is find another service provider because they do not offer good coverage in the city of Phoenix.
Well you got it Verizon we will be taking out 800 plus per month payment for your low standard customer care to a company that can appreciate and value their customers. Customers like us are the reason you had such a good start. The direction verizon has chosen to go in the treatment of its customers is no longer worth the cost that is ever increasing regardless of the coverage areas being the best out there.

This company is absolute trash. I was a Verizon customer until May 2024. I canceled my account. While canceling, I asked what I needed to pay, was directed to my statement, and made the payment of $260. Here I am in December of 2025 with a collection notice from Verizon for $164.23. I was charged for the month of June because I made the (apparently) drastic mistake of canceling 9 days before my billing period was over. Because of this, I was charged $164.23 WHEN I WASN'T EVEN A CUSTOMER. I never received a statement for $164.23. I then called Verizon and was put through three different people and was on the phone with them for over an hour trying to figure out what happened and how to get this settled.
The last person I talked to said I actually owed $193.79. I was charged interest on a payment THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED. I was NEVER emailed or mailed a statement EVER. I had NO idea that this balance or bill even existed so how would I be able to pay of something I wasn't aware of?! So instead of telling me I had an outstanding balance, they let the debt sit to collect interest and waiting to sell it to a collection agency. Every time an agent tried to get payment from me, the portals would reject my card - debit and credit cards, over ten times. Our bank wasn't rejecting it, we had plenty of money on the card and balance on our credit card. This entire company is a SCAM.

Moderation Reviewed Dec. 19, 2025. I upgraded my iPhone to the 17. I was told I did not have to return my old iPhone. I started getting emails and text messages stating that I had not returned my phone. I called the office on three different occasions explaining the situation. The agent said they looked at my account. They saw what I was told. I didn’t have to return the phone and that they would send it to the back office to get it taken care of.
This month when I received my bill there was extra charges on there total almost $315. When I called into the office to get information on that amount it was I was told that the balance was because I did not return a phone that I was told on several occasions that I did not have to return the phone. So the person that I spoke with finally said that he doesn’t know why they told me that the phone should’ve been returned. The only option was that he could set up a payment arrangement for me on the $315.00 that was added to my account and in doing the payment arrangement keep in mind that I will receive late fees. Now this is a company that I’ve been with for over eight years.

On November 9th, I was in Walmart and was approached by a Verizon representative about updating my phones. They had some deal where if I was qualified for new phones up to 5000.00. I went ahead and tried to order new phones. There was a problem on their part where my payment for the taxes and fees didn't go through. The rep reached out to me the next day to try again it went through. She then placed my order for 4 phones, but apparently something else messed up the order, and Verizon said only part of the order number went through, so they can't place the order after they received 571.65 of my money.
I have called numerous times to get my money back with no luck. I was told by 3 different representatives that they received my money and I would get a refund. One of the representatives even gave me a confirmation number, saying I would get it. I am still out 571.65.

I was also told that I should check my Verizon app. I was blocked from my Verizon app.

Bank says it's on Verizon end. I had to chat 10 diff times, 5 hrs once on chat, was promised multiple updates that never happened. They set up investigation, nothing. Checked with bank again, nothing posted to my acct. Verizon set up a payment promise automatically when investigation was still ongoing (2 weeks). No resolution, no updates, closed my ticket/case without notification of what they did or did not find. My time, effort was not important. Said no past due charges would be added-- it WAS.
Not to mention, numerous times I've had no service/ only 1 bar 98% of time/frozen video chats/dropped calls/can't reach sites/messages of "you're not connected to internet". Said towers had issue near me-- never fixed. Had a problem of connection with phone 2 mths after signing up, had me mail my phone in while they sent me another REFURBISHED one, tried to say it was physical damage when they got it (even tho agent at store SAW it wasn't damaged before I sealed and Fed-exed the box.)

When that phone arrived on November 11, 2025, it was not linked to my account, no way to activate the phone. I went into the Verizon store in Tucson, AZ November 12, 2025, employee was rude and unhelpful. On November 14, 2025, I tried a different store in Tucson, spent over 4 hours to resolve. They were unable to activate the phone and had to 'sell' me a new phone. The service on a Samsung S24 was then started on November 14, 2025 at approximately 1:30 PM. There was absolutely no service on the account prior to that date and time.
On December 4, 2025, not even three weeks into my brand new account, my service was suspended for non payment as it shows over 30 days. The phone registered and still showing as of December 4, 2025 was an S25 that had already been returned, never activated. The agent had to change it back to the S24 however I am still being billed from October/November and even after the agent attempted to credit some of the days, the account remained suspended for non payment, and this was after another 90 minutes on the phone.
Hours upon hours of my time should be worth something considering that everything I have shared is both accurate and verifiable. No one should have to go through this. My bill should not have been past due and my service should not have been suspended. Additionally, the promotions which WERE included on the account originally, such as a $200 gift card, were removed when the S24 was set up on December 4th. So on top of being billed prematurely I am not receiving what I originally agreed to. In response I received an email promising to address my concerns from executive services, but the refused to reply after the initial email. Not one!

Now, they are billing for another month's service and I just spent almost an hour on the phone with the billing department. When I tried to explain the problem, the rep Valerie said that she only handled landlines and internet service. She said that I would have to speak to someone who handled mobile phones and also mentioned that billing would only apply to services rendered and the line was disconnected three weeks ago and the billing was for an entire month?

Please be aware that Verizon bills ahead of time, often on a mid-month cycle, and does not proactively inform customers about this. Even if you stop service, return equipment, and switch to another carrier, you may still be charged for the next month. This lack of transparency, combined with incorrect account information and severe customer support delays, creates a harmful and unfair experience

Verizon sucks you in with their great offers. I was offered a new phone that cost 999.00. Got to keep my old phone and a buyout of what I owed on that phone. By the time I left the store I had to pay $204.00. That included a payment for a charger and screen cover which I could have gotten at Walmart for less. Also was charged 39.99 for ready to go package and $89.00 sales tax. On my next bill due I had a credit of 27.00 and no payment due so I did not make a payment. Then this month I get charged 159.00 for Device payment credit and last month's bill that I thought I didn't have to pay. Plus all their other hidden fees. So really ended up paying 350.00 extra for free phone.

My Honest Experience With Verizon Wireless After 11+ Years: Extremely Disappointed. I’ve been a loyal Verizon Wireless customer for over eleven years, and the last three have been nothing short of exhausting. I feel compelled to share my experience so others know what they may be walking into. In less than a year, I’ve had six replacements for my Samsung Z Flip 4. Each phone has had the same issue: the screen suddenly goes black with no damage and no warning. In my personal experience, the replacement devices I received have not felt like brand-new phones, and I now strongly suspect they were refurbished—despite the price I paid being the same as a new device. By now, I’ve paid nearly triple what the phone is worth.
What frustrates me most is that my phone and watch are fully paid off and still under the factory warranty, yet Verizon told me I had reached my “limit” for replacements. I was then directed to Asurion and told I’d have to pay a $99 fee. Why should I have to pay anything when the phone is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, and the repeated issues clearly point to a defect I reported after my second replacement?
One of Verizon’s executives, Kimberly, reached out—but instead of resolving the warranty issue, I was told again that I had to pay the $99 through Asurion. To me, that goes directly against what a factory warranty is supposed to cover. At this point, I feel Verizon is not honoring their own agreements, and I am now seeking legal counsel.
My personal advice: be cautious. In my experience, these large corporations can overcharge, provide questionable “replacement” devices, and fail to follow through on warranties. After over a decade with Verizon, I’m now looking at other service providers immediately after consulting with legal counsel. This has been incredibly disappointing, and I hope Verizon’s executives finally pay attention to how long-time customers are being treated.

On November 13 we decided to look into your service, interested in switching over to Verizon from Cricket Wireless. The first thing we did was to check on your Verizon website if we could port our numbers over. The prompt on your website told us they could not be ported. Being able to port our numbers in was important to us, so I googled to see if we could port cricket numbers to verizon and it said yes. But before we made the commitment since your website said we could not, we reached out to your customer service via chat. We explained the full situation to the customer service rep. We let him know your verizon website was stating they could not be ported, and we wanted to verify that was accurate because we only wanted to switch companies if we could keep our numbers.
We gave the customer service rep the phone numbers that we wanted to port and he assured us our numbers would be ok to port in, and that we could sign up for service and be given a temporary number. Once we activated our phones it would be an easy process to port our numbers. We again brought up our concern to verify the accuracy of the information we were being told by the representative and he assured us it would be no problem and proceeded to help us finish up the process of ordering phones and service through verizon company. While we were waiting we went ahead and purchased all the accessories we needed: Phone cases, screen protectors, charging cords for our cars, and headphone adapters.
On 11/18/25 the phones were delivered around 3:30 pm where I proceeded to activate all the lines and put cases on them and screen protectors. Once I did that, I went to the verizon website to port over our old numbers from Cricket wireless to our new services on Verizon. I kept being told while trying to do this, that the numbers were not eligible. At that point we reached out to customer service chat through the verizon website, this was at about 4:45pm. The representative said they would help us through the process and asked for the temporary number transfer pin. We gave them the number, and they told us our phone numbers were still on hold through cricket and we needed to contact cricket.
We contacted cricket while we were talking to the verizon rep through chat. Cricket told us our numbers were not on hold, and we had done the process correctly, and all the representative through verizon needed was the transfer pin, the account number for cricket, and the phone numbers we wanted to port. We let the verizon representative know this, and they stood firmly on the fact that our numbers were on hold, and that the problem was due to something cricket was either doing or not doing and that we needed to call cricket back. We informed them our phones were due to be shut off at midnight due to the end of the bill cycle and we were concerned because we didn't want to lose the opportunity to transfer the numbers. They assured us that it would be ok, our phones can get disconnected and they should still be able to transfer our numbers after that.
This was about 5:45pm at this point. We had to head out the door at that moment, so we contacted the Verizon rep through the chat option on the website, on our phone. I was on hold for a while (maybe 20 min) and when the rep came to chat, I explained the whole situation again. I explained about the contact with the representative on 11/13 about our concerns prior to signing up for service. I explained the encounter with the prior representative we were talking to for the hour prior (11/18 from about 4:45-5:45pm) that we had to disconnect from. They got the phone numbers we wanted to port, the transfer pin, and the cricket account number. They again told us that our numbers were on hold through cricket, and this was a problem that cricket was causing and we needed to contact cricket again and relay the information the verizon rep was telling us was wrong and that cricket needed to release our numbers.
While we were on hold with the agent we again called cricket, who said the same thing to us. That we had all the right information we needed to port our numbers and there is nothing more to do on their end. And that no company even tried to port out our numbers. They said it would show in the system if Verizon tried. We told the verizon rep this information where they insisted it was a cricket issue and to further push the issue with cricket. We pushed it where cricket stood firm that there is nothing more to do on their end, and we need to contact verizon to make sure the information they are inputting is correct. We let verizon know this, where they said that they were going to transfer us to a department that could better help us.
Again we had to explain the entire situation again, and give all the pertinent information they needed. They once again attempted to port our numbers where they informed us that it wont port because our numbers are disconnected. We let them know our phones were not disconnected and that we were currently using our phones through cricket. They once again told us we needed to contact cricket wireless, where again we went through the same process and were told the same thing from cricket. That it was not a problem within their system, and we were doing the process right. At some point during the connection with the verizon rep we got disconnected again!
At this point it was about 7:50pm. We then contacted customer service again through chat (calling at this point was not available). Where my wait was about 20 minutes long again. Since we finished up what we were doing at 8, we decided to make the 25 minute drive to the nearest verizon store to see if the representative in the store could be of more help.
I finally got a hold of the chat representative about the time we arrived at the Verizon store. But the representative in the store was busy with another customer, so I continued to chat with the person through the chat as we were waiting to be helped. Again I had to give all the pertinent information. Where again we were being told the same thing as all the other representatives. That our phone numbers were on hold and needed to be released.
About 20-30 min the in store representative was able to help us (I was still on the chat). We explained the situation and he looked concerned. He asked for our numbers, and inputted the information. He said, "I'm sorry to inform you, but your numbers are not eligible to be transferred." That for some odd reason, there are certain spots throughout the area that because they are not run off verizon towers are not able to be ported over. We said but your representative assured us we would have no problem with porting them. He apologized for the rep that gave the incorrect information and said unfortunately I see this occasionally and they cannot be ported.
We left the store, and explained to the representative on chat, what the in store representative said to us. They said not to worry, they would transfer us to the back end help. They got all the information and told us the process would be quite a long process. That we should not close the window but we can carry on with whatever and only need to respond if he asks a question. He also insisted I ignored the automatic generated messages. I said ok. The automatic messages were about lack of activity, so I responded. He reminded me not to reply to them and he was still working on the issue and would let me know when he had questions.
Again automatic messages popped up, I replied and he heavily pushed me not to respond to them and he will get back to me when he has more information. I explained I'm very nervous to ignore them as I have already been dealing with this all night and have already been disconnected, but I said I would do my best to ignore them. About 10 minutes later, my chat was disconnected due to inactivity as I had said to the rep I was worried about happening. This was about 10:30pm.
When I was disconnected I immediately contacted customer service through chat, I was very upset by this point. I again explained the situation and said the other rep told me not to reply and was disconnected. Thr proceeded to say they were going to help, then soon after chatting with me my replies stopped going through for about 5 minutes for some unknown reason. After about 5 minutes they started going through again, and I waited on the chat from about 10:50-11:10 hoping the representative would finally reply. They never did.
I am so extremely upset by this whole thing. We wasted our whole evening dealing with this, being continuously given the wrong information by the verizon representatives and what seems like almost knowingly, or at least not looking into the issue properly. We would have never switched had I known our numbers wouldn't transfer over. And we definitely wouldn't have spent 6 hours and gas money on this issue had we been given proper information. Our monthly bill has increased by switching to your company (by nearly $50/month), we are now having to deal with changing our numbers on everything and to everyone we know, and had our day ruined by this issue.

In 2022 a Verizon agent promised us new phones in exchange for our old phones. The price after the upfront cost of $305 was $0. They reneged on this deal, proceeded to charge us monthly for new phones, said over and over in calls that we were right and they were wrong and they’d fix it, and just kept charging us. We finally got fed up and canceled service 1/23, but their “final bill” charged us for service for another month, charged a fee for “adjusted trade in value” (that’s a $98 fee for a credit they never gave us), and charged us in full for the phones we’d already paid into over $350 in monthly bills and $305 up front and were promised to be $0.
We tried to work with them, calling monthly, but they ignored us for 6 months and then sent the total to collections. We tried to change the bill total of $1400 (a completely fabricated number) and they "adjusted the balance" to $770. Now they have reported to credit bureaus that we were “delinquent” in paying a bill we never should have had. They say we "settled" for less than the original amount (which was wrong at face value and should have $0 regardless). We tried disputing with the credit bureaus but Verizon refuses to engage or amend their story. We have no power to leverage them to even continue talking to us and need support. Tried BBB and some local business reporters but so far we have no hope. We just get our credit dumped on by a company whose reputation is trash, even though we caved and paid half of their greedy fabricated charges—ironically to SAVE our credit!

When I got my watch upgraded, they accidentally sent me two watches and billed me. I sent the Watch back. They continued to bill me for two watches. I asked them if they received the watch. They said they did. They will take care of it. They didn’t take care of giving me a credit and eliminating the second watch. Now the bill has escalated and they still haven’t resolved the issue. They led me to believe they were resolving their mistake by reducing the payment so I wouldn’t need to get a credit. The next month everything goes back to the same crap that I’ve been dealing with all along. Incorrect billing and not eliminating the error.
They’re the most crooked company that hold you hostage. They’re awful. Horrible. Let me tell you. They lie. They cheat. They make mistakes and never correct them.

We now have a cellular company that appreciates our business and treats us as such, with respect and actually celebrates their customers. Best part is we are paying less than half we were being ripped off for by Verizon and getting 300x better reception without calls constantly dropping.
Do yourself a favor and pay off your phones and make the jump to a better company. You will be way ahead! Pretty sure this company is on its way to total bankruptcy anyway. With the way they continuously abuse their customers, it's no small wonder why there is a mass exodus of customers signing on to much better networks with better service, value and treatment! We couldn't be happier since we left! FCC YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION BEFORE YOU GET SUED ALONG WITH VERIZON FOR CONSISTENTLY NOT HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!

Their service is pretty good, but I’ve also had the worst experience ever with them in terms of VERY POOR customer support, lies and incompetence! Their rates ALWAYS fluctuate, they lie to you, promising one thing, but do something else. Seems like they’re all trained to do that! You waste your precious time on the phone with them for hours, thinking that you’re talking to someone reasonable, they promise that they’ll take care of something, but most of them don’t! One recently told me he’ll call me back on a Saturday after speaking with someone in a higher position, but he never called. Prior to this, I was offered a free phone and free line (promotion), only to recently notice that I’m being charged for it!! How does that happen??!! When the lady told me it was all free, I asked her a few times what the catch was. She said there was none, and that I only needed to pay the initial $60 tax, which I did immediately.
This company customer support is horrible! Most of them don’t know their job. I was with T-Mobile for many years and their customer support was way better! I only changed to Verizon because that’s what was offered in the new area I moved to. I’m seriously looking to change providers asap! My experience with Verizon sucks, seriously, and they obviously don’t care!

I switched my husband's phone from Verizon to AT&T. We were immediately locked out of the Verizon log in, saying the account didn't exist. They refused to send us a final itemized bill. We have been attempting to get a final itemized bill for 2 months with no success. We tried again today and was told our account was sent to collections. How are we sent to collections when they have continued to refuse to provide us with an itemized final bill. Also in switching to AT&T it's half the cost for the same service. I will never use Verizon again.

I want to start off that I have had Verizon in the past and they have always been good and even now up until recently have always had a good experience. First off, we opened a new line and purchased a galaxy phone with a promotion in June 2025. My husband has always been an iPhone guy, but wanted to try this phone and after seven or eight days, he decided he wanted to go back to the iPhone. As normal, we submit the request to switch out the phone and pay the $50 restocking fee and received the iPhone and returned the Samsung Galaxy phone with no issues.
Now, when we open that line and purchased the galaxy, we added insurance on the phone. Apparently, when we swapped out the phones, somehow the insurance was lost and the Apple phone no longer had insurance and of course we did not realize this until his phone was damaged a couple months later (I realize and take accountability for not verifying that the insurance was transferred to the new iPhone in the swap, unfortunately we made an incorrect assumption). So when my husband had some time when he got off work, he went into the Verizon store and the Verizon Associate confirmed that we indeed did have insurance on the galaxy and somehow there was no insurance currently on the iPhone that we received. He said that we lock and it was an open enrollment and he went ahead and added insurance on the current Apple phone, but keep in mind the phone is already damaged.
So he tells us to wait until our Bill cycles and go ahead and file a claim with the insurance company and we do this and of course the insurance company (Assurion) denies the claim because there's been no usage on the phone since we've had insurance. So I started calling to speak with Verizon since this was an error on their end for not having the insurance remain on the line regardless of what phone we have. I have been calling since 1023 to try to get this fixed and Verizon will not take accountability for their mistake on it. It has been told that the insurance does follow the phone number and not the phone so they are not sure why it was removed or how.
I spoke with an associate by the name of Renn on 10/23 with a promise to call me back by 10/26 with a solution or at least some type of info after they try to escalate through Assurion. I never received a call so I call on 10/28 and speak to a guy by the name of Joe who actually opens up a case for me and lets me know that it has been escalated and they will call me within 24 hours and you know it. I never receive a call. So I call Callback on 10/29 and speak to a girl by the name of Christina and I gave her the case number and she escalate the claim and expedite the claim. She also promises that somebody will call me back within 24 to 48 hours and this never happens.
I did receive a text almost like a generic text from the case from a person by the name of Irvin that let me know that this will be looked into in my case will be resolved by 12/29/2025. I respond to the text and ask why it's going to take two months to resolve this and if somebody could please call me and nobody calls me. So I wait a few days and I call the beginning of November And speak to an associate and ask to escalate the call to a supervisor. I speak to a supervisor by the name of Sam and tell him my issue and he wants to fix it and sends me to a Asurion saying that they'll help. I speak to the insurance company and the associate also escalate it, and I speak to a girl by the name of Charlie and she realizes what's going on and is unable to help me or file a claim and sends me back to Verizon and tells me to ask for an in-house claim.
I attempt to do this and end up speaking to an associate who hangs up on me by the name of Rex. And I Callback and have it escalated and speak to a supervisor by the name of Amit. He is also trying to escalate it to another department, but it's late in the evening and he cannot get a hold of them so he gives me a phone number to call the next day and do a follow up.
I go to call 800 number he gave me and realize it's Assurion. Now at this point, I know that the insurance company is not going to help me nor should they and it is not their issue. It is Verizon's issue and I'm asking for Verizon to take responsibility and accountability for what happened and I'm very upset at this point that nobody will seem to call me back or help me. They have tried to come up with solutions that are not feasible, opening up another line which is gonna charge me more money trying to use a different line on my account that has a free upgrade to replace his damaged phone, which also is not acceptable because it removes the upgrade from that line.
So on 11/11/2025, I call again and escalate and speak to a manager by the name of Cleo. She comes up with a great solution by buying out my device sending a brand new device and then putting a promotion on it so that we're still paying the five dollars a month for the phone and then disconnecting the old line so that it is a wash and I would be paying the same amount as I currently am and I thought great, I finally have somebody who's gonna help me and is listening. So she goes ahead and sends me the same phone through the mail, and once again promises to call me back 11/18/2025 at noon.
So I am waiting for her call and of course she never calls after several promises and tells me that she added me on her calendar. So of course I call Verizon and spent the majority of my afternoon for hours Trying to get this figured out. And I'm back at Square one and I end up having to return the phone because they weren't gonna be able to help me and they were going to add the line on with a new phone with no promotion and I still have the old line with the damaged phone on it that I'm paying for and services on that line as well that we are not using because the phone is damaged. So I'm sitting here this morning, with a line I'm paying for with a damaged phone that cannot be used because Verizon did not transfer insurance from one device to the other. And now a new line with a new phone that has no promotions on it.
I sent the phone back last night and I will be calling today to get a refund on that line and any activation fees refunded but at this point I am so upset and so frustrated that nobody's able to fix this or help me or take some accountability and literally do what they say and call me back and do what is right and do a device payout and send a new phone. I have been so frustrated and upset, I wanted to cry. As soon as we are able to, I will be leaving Verizon. I don't ever want to experience this again.

I recently switched my service from Verizon to AT&T. We switched because my bill would be $100 cheaper each month. They gave us free upgraded phones and they said they would pay our Verizon account off for us as long as we got them the bill. As soon as I switched services, however I could no longer get into my Verizon account to see the bill. I thought it was user error on my part. I kept trying different passwords and then I finally get an email from Verizon saying they have taken the full amount that I owe them for the phones and the last month of service and they have taken it out of my account without approval. I turned auto pay off before I switched services. They should not have had any access to my bank account.
I called Verizon several times. The first two people I spoke with told me that they would handle this for me and everything would be OK. The last person I talked to told me that I did not terminate auto pay, and therefore they could not give me a refund basically. I did turn auto pay off, but she says that there is another way that you turn off auto pay where you have to terminate it instead of turning it off. I can say with all honesty on the Verizon app the Verizon website there is no option around the auto pay button to terminate. You can either turn it on or you can turn it off. I turned it off. They should not have had access to my bank account after I turned off auto pay and switched services.
So now I have -$1700 in my account right before Thanksgiving. That is my next two weeks' pay or more. All I needed was the last bill from Verizon so AT&T could pay it for me. The lady basically told me at Verizon that there was no one else I could talk to. There was no way to fix this and I was basically just out of luck because of some magic auto pay terminate button that does not exist. I feel like I was lied to by the people who talk to me the day before. I truly feel like this is a Verizon tactic to punish people who switch services.

Had an issue with removing a phone, tablet and watch on my account. I was told in December of 2024 I can not remove these until December 27, 2025 due to me signing a 2-year contract. This was told to me by 2 different customer service representative. One in December 2024 and mid-October 2025. I was also told on the call in 2025 that I could put these lines on hold and was going to call me back, did not receive a phone call. Called back beginning of November and was told that it is not a 2-year contract but a 3-year contract but due to my circumstances I will not be charged these. Would be free of charge on my next bill. Now my next bill is in and I am being charged for discontinued service so I call again and was told by Leslie that I would receive a credit to my account.
It just needs to be approved by a supervisor and I asked if this could be denied and was told no because of the phone records they have and that I was told incorrect information. That it was Verizon’s fault and I will be credited. I call today for an update and was told it was denied because I am the account holder and I signed for this (totally agree, however this person on the bill took the number instead of switching because Verizon is too expensive) so now he is not paying. But if I did not pay my bill Verizon would not allow me to continue service. Then was told Verizon could meet me half way of a credit but I need to go to file a police report. Not a single person in customer service does not know what anyone is doing. I have been a loyal customer for 15 years and never had an issue, never paid my bill late. Always on time.

I truly hate coming here to write nothing but positive comments about any business. But those looking to question other regular people's experience with Verizon should know what to expect. I am an 85yr old Great grandpa. Primarily, since cell phones became a thing I've been with Att or Tmo. I've never paid late, never cut off, always paid my bills. Likewise, I've lived in the same home 30 years and been a mayor of my town 8 yrs with an FBI clearance for federal intelligence briefings as needed. Starting n Oct of 25 I had began being bombarded by targeted Verizon ads I guess so where I dropped some cookie crumbs or some fingerprints? But I began to pay attention and did some shopping one night.
They had some great promotional deals on the new iphones that got my attention. I currently had no commitment to my service at the time (Tmo) so I put an order together, submitted a number porting request and went to bed that night. Next day I had a " thank you" and welcome email with the message saying they would update me as my order progresses and ships. Then..days pass with nothing else. Finally, after 5 days I see a new email saying " We cancelled your order". Well that's rude AF. So I started digging through spam, voice mails, texts..anywhere they could have contacted me.
Ultimately, I found 2-3 important emails in spam that I knew must have been the reason for the cancellation email. This included one email asking for some ID verification...no prob there just these somehow got snagged by spam and I never saw them..so I called into a call center that was boldly posted for any questions to explain my dilemma. ***Here's where things REALLY begin to derail. So it's a foreign based call center and in their broken english I'm told "your order was cancelled nothing more we can do"! I'm sorry, I'm telling you exactly why I never responded (not my fault or by disregard) and I'm trying to correct the issue now..this is your position? You are basically telling me to FO and hang up. I loudly said, "Send me to a manager if you can't help me resolve this"....
Finally, success after a few heated words. Next they sent the same ID verify emails out and I responded with DL copy, utility bill - along with a spectacular letter of credit from my electric company..whom I've paid on time for 30+ years now. Next another email saying we will update you as order progresses...Yep you guessed it. Another couple of days here I'm staring at ANOTHER "we cancelled your order " 🐎💩 email from them! So this time I'm past being offended I'm on fire inside.
I submitted a BBB complaint (it's an old guy thing). They assigned a corporate level associate to help fix things for me. She was kind enough. We went through the entire process again. She confirmed that Fraud prevention had passed my documents and my for me to submit my order again. Yep, I'm not making things up. Cancelled AGAIN! Now I'm told they can't verify my identification. Wait ..didn't...?? Let me assure you I'm the same guy I've been since birth and no one's trying to pull any fraud on anyone. It's offensive even to hear that word when considering my identity and integrity as a citizen! So I just will be staying with T-mobile. Funny once I told the sales rep at my local shop this story they were super helpful and showered me with gifts once I decided to stay with them and (matched the promo I was looking to get by switching)! Well played Tmo, well played!
Today I see news that Verizon was "laying" off 15k employees and possibly scaling back operations as a void of new customers exists. They have a new CEO I hear as well. Maybe by reading this true account if how. Awful and unnecessarily frustrating a simple process was maybe some eyes will open. I am who I said I was, my credit is fine, my ID is legit. If there was a question concerning ANY info I submitted I'm sure there would be an easy resolution if I knew. Yet, instead of a reasonable chance to correct any concerns it was a (rude AF) "sorry, your order is cancelled," as if I were a criminal. Never ever again Verizon. Never ever - good luck.

I worked for Verizon for 2 years - which is why I made the switch during my employment there. When I started, it was a great job because we had plenty of resources for customer assistance, our billing was transparent, and for the best network coverage in the nation - I believed the pricing to be fair. Less than a year in - all of our in house account management team was laid off. This marked a big shift in Verizon’s customer service and business strategy. Not only did I notice our customer base begin to struggle with having their concerns resolved - but I as an employee became drastically limited in my ability to meet customer satisfaction.
Resolving promotion fallout became more common and more difficult to resolve - and frankly the most frequent concern that customers brought to us. Promotion fallout occurs when a device promotion ($0/mo for a 3 year payment contract on a premium plan, “get a watch and tablet on us”, trade in promos, BYOD promos, etc) falls off of a customer account. This happens for a number of reasons - merging and separating accounts, updating to new pricing models, sometimes the promotions just don’t take to the account even after the allotted 2-3 billing cycles.
We used to be able to resolve these concerns. Then they started outsourcing their customer support, and it was a disaster. I saw more unhappy customers leave Verizon, and I wasn’t able to make as many sales because they understandably didn’t trust Verizon - but were stuck in this 3 year contract with a company that stopped prioritizing their customers.
I just finally left Verizon today. My store closed due to low traffic because of Verizon’s shift towards online and phone sales. They poached the sales of their own employees out of greed - and has left customers with an impersonal experience fraught with errors. I was promised the best of 5G home internet - and have now helped both of my parents return their home internet boxes and my own. The connectivity is nowhere near what they advertise - even less than 20min out from 2 different major cities. We were consistently at less than 100mbps - typically around 50-80 - on a plan that offered speeds up to 300mbps. The older model gateway had frequent outages, and the newer model for whatever reason could not connect to 2 out of our 3 smart TVs.
I just switched to T-Mobile internet this week, and I’m already clocking 150mbps at a minimum, and set up was insanely easy with the help of their fantastic customer support team. No issues connecting, no disruptions to service, instant and efficient internet that can handle multiple devices with ease. Just switched back to Visible - a network that runs on Verizon’s towers for a minimum of $25/mo of unlimited 5G data. Now I have all of the 5G coverage of Verizon at under a third of the cost for base pricing, and halved at premium pricing. They also have just as much access to Verizon grade perks (GlobalPass for international travel, connected device discounts, 5GUW, etc). Their device promotions don’t appear to be as lucrative in value as Verizon - but in actuality, the cost you’ll end up spending in the long run is far more on a 3y Verizon contract.
Porting to Visible is entirely online - and porting between any cellular service can be a nightmare without proper execution. So I would recommend calling your provider’s support team in advance for a step by step guide. Typically all you’ll need is a transfer pin, billing info, and account # for a port out - but the order of events can be a little delicate.
Just go to T-Mobile internet for wireless internet, or AT&T fiber if you don’t mind paying the additional cost for high speeds. Visible for cellular - maybe even T-Mobile if there’s a particularly outstanding promotion, but any of the 3 major post-pay carriers will have deliberately deceptive pricing models and are typically only worth it in value for accounts with at least 3 lines of service. I’m less familiar with AT&T as a cellular network - but I’ve heard enough horror stories that I don’t recommend it. All in all: Run far and fast. Verizon is not your friend. Their perks are nothing special at best, worthless at worst. Their promotions are a tactic to hold you hostage as they bleed your wallet dry. Never going back.

Sent in multiple requests for in writing to be able to leave VZ penalty free and still not responses back. Will be leaving VZ as soon as have phones paid off. I am absolutely disgusted with the way VZ has gone and how horrible the service is all the way around.

I've been with Verizon for approximately 23 years and it now feels like they have go completely AI "Automated". There is no customer service anymore and those who claim to be can't help you because they Don't Know How and they Are Not an Authorized person. Only what is beneficial for Verizon. There's absolutely nothing they can do to help you unless it Profits Verizon. A simple request to help me sign in turned into 5 days of aggravated calls and to this day it has not been corrected.
After 3 days of trying to get information out of my old phone which the battery had died and had insurance paid to date of a proximity $1300.00 over a 6 year use, I was swindled into getting a $1799.99 phone with no going back because you sign for it. Don't let them convinced you that it's the better deal for you because it's not. My 23 years of being a loyal customer just cost me a whopping $1518.39 after trade in of $281.60 after taxes & gov't. fees with a 3 year contract. Signatures now defeat 23 years of loyalty. I now give them a -5 stars, yes Minus 5 stars.

Cellular Sales and Verizon are both scammers. They lure customers in with false promises and completely misleading information. What they tell you in the store is never what shows up on your bill. They hide fees, twist words, and then blame each other when you try to fix the issue. Verizon should be ashamed to let these kinds of practices happen under their name. Totally dishonest and not true to their customers — I’ll never trust them again.

No help with Verizon at all. Bill too high And Verizon never let you speak to customer service. Bill always close to $400 with just 2 lines. Bill never says the same as a fluctuate even when you don’t hardly use it or go out of state, I will never recommend Verizon or go with this company again.

Have had my service for 6 years. Yes, they are the most expensive in my area and they get the best coverage. But I wouldn’t trust this company with my life. For over 2 months now, I have not had access to my account due to their screw up. Was told it was their screw up and a “MAJOR GLITCH” in their system. Haven’t had access to my account and when I was told to contact them again for compensation for the fact that I have spent well over 30 hours on the phone with customer service and over 20 hours in store trying to resolve the issue, they all of a sudden can’t pull up my account, even at supervisor level. I am a single mom of a mentally disabled child and a caretaker for 3 elderly adults and not being able to contact Dr offices or therapists is a huge problem! They switched my account to a corporate account without my permission due to the fact of I am NOT CORPORATE! Wouldn’t go near this company ever again!

DO NOT EVER... EVER do business with Verizon. Especially at the location in Daly City, California. Not only does Verizon bait and switch, they are incompetent, dismissive and RUDE! In particular the manager named DESTINY! You may have seen her name mentioned in previous reviews and they are not exaggerated. This person should really be named DENSITY. She was rude and incompetent. As for her customer interaction, a dead fish would have a warmer personality. I don't know how Verizon tolerates much less keeps her there in a managerial position. But judging from my overall experience with them I.e. their online chat, over the phone call center agents and in person sales people, they really sell you the world and provide no follow up-- ABSOLUTELY NO FOLLOW UP to provide resolution for customer satisfaction.
All I got was deflection and promises that the issue would be resolved... later. Not on the spot... LATER! How can they improve? If they want to improve, they should let AT&T buy them and let the AT&T teams handle everything. I cannot emphasize enough how anyone should not ever do business with them. Unless you are a masochist and enjoy being put on hold for an hour at a time and then constantly be told to " hold please." The other person you should avoid is Amir. There are two there but the one that should be especially avoided is "little" Amir. He serviced us and did not thoroughly process our contract. Now Destiny said it was not his fault. That means the fault lies with management for not approving the paperwork.
So in conclusion, AVOID VERIZON LIKE THE PLAGUE!! They should have their licenses revoked and their business shuttered. And if there any lawyers who read this, they should consider a class action lawsuit against this business for disreputable business practices. PS: The positive is that the phone service is good (so far) and their wireless router works well (again, so far).

Day 26 of our contracted 1st month we had no service, reconnected and then no service on day 27, canceled and returned the phones. After over 2k plus 427.00 they are billing for phones we returned for another 5427.00. They lost all records on our account and can't get answers for the past 4 months and sent it to collections. Worst company I have seen.

Verizon is the absolute worst for spam and spoof calls. They obviously make money on them, as they do nothing to stop them. I get between 15-20 calls a day. When I call back the number is not in service, if that's the case, how do they call me from a number that is not in service, if you call customer service for help they get you to download a filter app that does almost nothing to help with the issue. Hopefully eventually there will be a class action lawsuit to penalize them for the lack of attention to this issue. Millions of people are scammed a year by these calls and if management at Verizon had a shred of decency, they could easily solve this problem. But they will take their profits no matter where they get them.

RUN FROM THIS CELL PHONE PROVIDER!! I was a long-term Verizon customer. Never missed a payment and had my entire family on their service. I took advantage of paperless billing and automatic direct debit from my bank account. Since there are currently much less expensive mobile providers in the cell phone space, I decided to switch carriers. I was advised that upon porting my numbers to the new carrier, my account would be closed and no further debits would be made to my bank account. However, the debits continued after I closed my account. I attempted to review my billing records via the My Verizon app and learned that I was locked out of my account. I attempted to call and discovered that their phone system no longer recognized my telephone number.
After raising Demons from the Pit of Hell with them, to their credit, they made things right. But, the lesson is that they have no problem throwing the proverbial middle finger to good customers who cancel their service by locking up electronic records and impeding access to customer service. My recommendation is to find a different provider and if you can't DO NOT AGREE TO PAPERLESS BILING OR AUTOMATIC DEBIT PAYMENTS! Subscriber Beware!
