    The worst service provider. Hidden fees around every corner. I ask them to give me a new number but then they gave me a number with someone else Gmail account attached to it. Some **. Like come on Verizon. Do better. I only had one phone line with them but they charge me $120 a month. I switched to mint mobile and now have unlimited data for just 15 dollars a month. Not trying to hip up mint mobile but Verizon is just so bad. Don’t waste your money with Verizon.

    AFTER 15 YEARS WITH VERIZON: SHOW ME WHERE I AUTHORIZED THIS. I am publishing this account after months of trying unsuccessfully to resolve what happened to me as a Verizon customer. I had been a loyal, paying Verizon customer for approximately 15 years. I never expected that relationship to end with thousands of dollars in expenses, months of frustration, cancelled service that apparently wasn't completely cancelled, and ultimately a $508 collection account affecting my credit.

    The entire situation began with something very simple. What I Actually Authorized. My daughter had a broken phone. I purchased an upgraded replacement phone for her online. While my daughter was at a Cellular Sales Verizon Authorized Retailer in Waynesville, North Carolina, sales representative Aaron Hatfield called me. He asked whether he had my permission to activate the replacement phone I had purchased for my daughter. I said yes.

    To be perfectly clear: I authorized Aaron Hatfield to activate ONE replacement phone on the SAME EXISTING PHONE LINE that my daughter's broken phone had been using. That was my authorization. I did not authorize three new devices. I did not authorize three new lines. I did not authorize new 36-month device-payment obligations. I did not authorize anyone to substantially restructure my Verizon account.

    So my question to Cellular Sales and Verizon is extraordinarily simple: If you contend that I authorized these additional transactions, show me where I authorized them. Show me the signature. Show me the electronic authorization. Show me the agreement I accepted. Show me the date and time it was accepted. Show me the authorization link. Show me the recording. Show me whatever documentation you contend gave anyone permission to obligate me financially beyond activating the one replacement phone I specifically authorized.

    The Phones Were Presented as “Free.” My daughter was told that additional devices were “free.” What was not adequately explained to her was what was actually happening financially. A device on my Verizon account had recently been paid off. Because that existing monthly device payment disappeared, another device payment could be added without creating an obvious increase in the monthly bill. That could make a new device appear to be free because the total monthly payment remained relatively similar. But a monthly payment remaining approximately the same does not mean a new device is free.

    What I subsequently discovered was that additional long-term device-payment obligations had been created. Had this been clearly explained to me beforehand, I would not have agreed to it. In fact, I had another option available to me. My Spectrum Internet service provided an opportunity for cellular service that would not have required me to take on another lengthy Verizon device commitment. I never knowingly chose the Verizon alternative because I was never given the opportunity to make that informed choice. Then I Spent Months Trying to Get Out of It. Once I discovered what had happened, what followed was an exhausting attempt to unwind the situation. I made repeated trips and spent countless hours dealing with Verizon, Cellular Sales, devices, returns, passwords and account issues.

    At one point, while I was working in Pennsylvania, I had to devote part of a Sunday to making a several-hour round trip to an Apple Store in Pittsburgh just to get access restored to a phone so that I could return it properly and obtain the documentation necessary to reconcile the disputed device charges. This wasn't a minor inconvenience. It consumed my time while I was working, cost me money, required travel, and continued month after month while Verizon bills kept arriving. By the time everything was said and done, I incurred approximately $2,500 while trying to extricate myself from a situation that began with my permission to perform one simple task: Activate my daughter's replacement phone on her existing line.

    I Finally Cancelled Verizon — Or So I Thought. Eventually I had enough. After approximately 15 years as a Verizon customer, I cancelled my service. But apparently Verizon cancelled only my primary telephone number. Other lines associated with the account remained open. Those lines continued accumulating charges even though I had terminated my relationship with Verizon. Eventually another approximately $508 was billed. And what did I receive after spending months trying to solve this problem and approximately $2,500 dealing with its consequences?

    A collection account. The disputed $508 has now been referred for collection and has been reported in a manner that is causing further damage to my credit. My Request to Verizon Is Very Simple. I am not asking anyone reading this to automatically take my word over Verizon's. I am asking Verizon and Cellular Sales to examine their own records. If I authorized three additional devices, produce the authorization. If I authorized additional lines, produce the authorization. If I accepted 36-month device-payment agreements, produce my acceptance of those agreements. If Verizon believes I intentionally kept those additional lines active after cancelling my primary service, produce the record demonstrating that I requested that those lines remain active. And if those records cannot be produced, then Verizon and Cellular Sales should correct what happened.

    That means: Recall the disputed $508 from collections. Remove any negative credit reporting resulting from that disputed balance. Provide a complete accounting of what was added to my account, when it was added, who added it, and what authorization was relied upon. Reimburse the money I incurred as a result of transactions and continuing charges that I contend I did not authorize. And have someone with sufficient authority at Verizon or Cellular Sales contact me and finally resolve this matter.

    Fifteen Years of Loyalty Should Have Meant Something. I stayed with Verizon for approximately 15 years. I paid my bills. I wasn't somebody who signed up for Verizon for a few months, stopped paying, and then complained about the consequences. I was a long-term customer who authorized a salesperson to perform one specific task for my daughter. What followed ultimately cost me thousands of dollars, enormous amounts of my time, the end of a 15-year customer relationship, and now damage to my credit. I'm publishing this because the normal channels have not produced a fair resolution.

    I also believe consumers should understand an important lesson from my experience: When a wireless salesperson tells you a device is “free,” ask to see exactly what is being added to your account before you leave the store. Ask whether a new line is being created. Ask how long any device credits or payments continue. And get everything in writing. As for my own case, I am still willing to resolve it professionally. But after everything that has happened, I don't believe I should have to prove that I didn't authorize transactions I say I never agreed to. If Verizon or Cellular Sales believes I did authorize them, then I have one simple request: SHOW ME.

    I was a Verizon customer for more than 30 years and closed my account on April 25, 2026, after transferring both phone numbers to another carrier. Despite the account being closed, I have continued to receive billing notices, with the alleged balance increasing each month (40.39, 60.39, 80.39). I have contacted Verizon multiple times by phone and chat and have repeatedly been told that the balance is actually a credit, that the issue has been escalated, and that a refund check would be issued. However, I continue to receive bills and have received neither a refund nor a clear explanation of why I am still being billed, even though I am no longer a customer. After months of conflicting information and unfulfilled promises, I am seeking a permanent resolution and an explanation as to why I am still being billed for a closed account. This has been a very disappointing end to what was otherwise a long customer relationship.

    I never write a negative review and save reviews for those that deserve a shout out due to excellent performance, but after 20+ years of being a customer it may be time to cancel my service due to the AI prompts and inability to speak to a live agent or simply pay my bill on the phone. Extremely disappointing and frustrating day and what should have been 5 minutes took an hour and two phone calls, plus logging online to pay my bill. The live agents were wonderful when I was finally able to speak with one and give that credit to Ellie & Ari. AI responses to my question were frustrating, condescending, insincere, and cumbersome. I will be checking into a new cellphone provider tomorrow where I can easily reach an live agent.

    I have been with Verizon for many years; but I've had it with them. You can only chat with representatives when you have an issue; they promise you that they will take care of the problem, and then you find out that the problem still exists. Each time you chat with an agent, you waste a lot of time, and they keep telling you that they are working on solving your problem.

    My problems are with the Wi-fi; the gateway, and the line for the gateway. They were supposed to replace both, which they did not, and when I complained again, they wanted to be paid extra money to do it! They have some nerve; to fix faulty equipment, they want to be paid extra! They are taught to be very nice to the customer, but at the same time they are very good at giving one a lot of crap. I will leave Verizon shortly and never go back. They are expensive and just do not care about their customers! I will go to either T-Mobile or Optimum, which are rated much higher in Sussex County, NJ than Verizon.

    I have a cell phone with Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate service which includes their 300 mins/month Global Choice International calling to one country. It used to be easy to track those 300 minutes, but now Verizon has changed a web page that is linked from "Detailed International Plan Usage" that no longer has this "Detailed Usage" available. I queried this and was told that I would need to add up all of the international calls myself for that month to see what I have used, which I find unwieldy. I see this as a ploy to help me spend more by going over those 300 minutes. Unbelievable! We are very rural and have only a Verizon tower nearby, so what choice do we have?

    Back in mid-June, I stopped into what appeared to be a Verizon store for some simple tech support. Before leaving, I was promised better and cheaper service by combining my internet and cell services. Less than 2 days later, I saw the Verizon internet performance inferior to the dial-up service I already had. I immediately called in to reverse the new trial service but was unable to due to a typo the salesman had made for my email address.

    Now, almost two months later, and at least 15 hours of phone calls, and several in-person visits to multiple Verizon stores, I've had the service shut off, and restored, and I'm seeing a charge for slightly over $199 and threatening emails of deactivating my phone again. I'd had my personal account on auto-pay, and was charged my standard monthly fee about two weeks ago. Now I'm getting more threatening messages of deactivation due to charges for a fraudulently sold business account that I deactivated as soon as I saw it wasn't what I told it was. The AI customer service and in-store sales of this corporation shouldn't be tolerated by anyone. After over 20 years of loyalty to them, I'll be canceling my account and likely have to get a new phone number due to their pathetic customer service and fraudulent sales tactics.

Found out I was being overcharged $40 for an additional device I don't have, couldn't use the internet while I was on the phone & couldn't receive text messages from iPhone users. When I called Verizon the 1st time, they said they had fixed everything & it would take 24-48 hours for everything to update.

    A week later, still nothing worked right. Spent several hours on the phone with customer service during which they removed the promotional price I was paying for my device instead of fixing the issue of my being overcharged for an additional phone that I don't have. After the customer service rep said she had fixed everything, I couldn't make or receive calls or texts from or to anyone. They got that fixed along with getting me a credit for being overcharged.

    I had been with Verizon for about six months and financed a phone through their payment plan. While traveling internationally, I received a call. After I returned to the U.S., Verizon informed me that I owed nearly $1,000 in international calling charges. I repeatedly asked for a detailed breakdown of the calls and the charges, but they refused to provide it. I also requested a payment arrangement, but they would not work with me.

    Instead, Verizon disconnected my service four different times. Every time I called to restore my service, I was required to pay up to $200 just to have my phone turned back on. Eventually, they disconnected my service again and told me I had to pay the remaining $850 balance for the international charges before they would restore it.

    Since I couldn’t afford to pay that amount all at once, I had no choice but to transfer my two phone lines to another carrier. My experience with Verizon was extremely disappointing. I felt unsupported as a customer and frustrated by the lack of transparency regarding the charges. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Verizon.

    I’ve been a Verizon customer for 30 years (since I got my first cell phone). Their customer service was at one time excellent, and so was their cell coverage (I’d have service when others didn’t). I considered switching at one point because Verizon was so much more expensive than other carriers, but I found the customer-service process to switch to T-Mobile at that time was so difficult. However, that’s not the case now. Verizon’s customer service is trash and their coverage lousy and slow (even when you pay for the premium tier). Verizon doesn’t care about customer loyalty either (they used to give discounts for that, but not for the last 10 years).

    I remained with Verizon because the devil you know can be better than the one you don’t. But after my latest cell purchase with them — which I had to upgrade because the last $900 iPhone they sold me stopped working properly within 3 months, but they wouldn’t replace it because I didn’t buy insurance — I’m switching carriers. Also, Verizon requires us to validate our military service discount every year. I had it for one year, but now they require us to use a 3rd party to verify our service, and it doesn’t work. At this point, Verizon couldn’t pay me to remain with them. I can’t wait to be done paying off my latest contract.

They discontinued my app access, I cannot even login on the main website, and got hung up on by the computers during three calls before I finally got to a human I could speak to who then informed me they would charge me $10 for taking a payment through them. Absolutely NOT!

    At this point…Do what you’ve got to do, I have receipts and screenshots of my attempts to pay and call log of customer service center attempts. Through all the advances in technology, this greedy, price gouging company has forgotten how to be human! 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND VERIZON TO ANYONE!

    When I login to the Verizon app there is a message thanking me for being a value customer for over 21 years. I understand it is not Verizon fault that I have been with the same company, same house for 19 years and I only make $27.10 an hour (can't change job due to health reasons and more) and my pay can't keep up with the unnecessary inflation. The cost of goods has double or triple. I am in survivor mode. I am lucky to have $20 left over after paying bills. This is the third year my household skipped Christmas. My household has no bad spending habits causing my dilemma, just inflation.

    Getting back to Verizon, you disconnected my phones for being 10 days late (use to be at least 30 days). Charging me an additional $20 dollars per line. Some of your customers maybe struggling Verizon. I don't feel value. I gave you three-star because all you greedy companies are the same. Whoever reading this still be happy, kind and grateful.

    Went to Verizon store in Hartwell ga needing a code in order to switch to AT&T. Head woman greeted me asking what I needed. When she found out that I was switching she grimaced and told me to wait that she would be with me later. She apparently was off duty and walked over to the new person in charge and chatted and then walked out the door avoiding looking at me. The new head person let me wait at least fifteen minutes ignoring me until a new customer walked in. Then she took the new customer ahead of me. Bad business and worse prices.

    I switched over from T-Mobile and was offered a $40 plan with a free tablet. I accepted and thought I had a deal. Called because the tablet would not accept calls or make calls out. Verizon said that I needed to activate a plan on the tablet for it to work. Cool. I don't need a plan, so I just connected to the wifi. Later on, I receive a bill for over $100 and was charged $37 for a plan on the tablet. I stayed on the phone with customer service for hours, and I do mean hours, for them to not want to take the charges off on a tablet that I did not activate a plan on and that does not work. So, guess what, Verizon, send me a return code so I can ship y'all this bullshit back asap. Glad I kept my phone when I switched over. Long story short. Verizon Customer service sucks, and it makes Verizon as a whole look extremely bad. T-Mobile wasn't so bad after all.

Koda worked his experience and knowledge and internal Verizon resources and found we could still qualify for an equivalent discount by switching to a simple account plan.

    I've had nothing but problems with Verizon since it's the very beginning, I was told that my package would include unlimited talk, text and data and also a hotspot, I was told that it would be $51 if I used auto pay. 61 if I didn't. No matter how many times I put it on auto pay they take it off and overcharge me. They say that I have to pay extra for the hotspot and when I tell them that's not what their employee that sold me the phone and package told me, they say, "Well we can't help what the sales guy told you!" They promised that they're going to give me back the overcharges and they never do.

    Recently they sent me a new phone but no SIM card so I didn't send them back the old phone as I was waiting for the SIM. So they proceeded to take $276 out of my account for a phone that only had $86 owed on it and have refused it to give it back even though I have returned the old phone. They've forced me to remain with their company by keeping my money when I told them I wanted to discontinue their service. And even though they have taken my money they keep turning my service off saying I haven't paid my bill. They have promised me repeatedly that the money will/has been refunded to my account and even that they're looking at the deposit as we speak, they've made four appointments to call me back to make sure everything went through right and kept zero of them. I can't begin to count the times I've been hung up on!

    I've spent hours and hours on the phone being passed from one employee to the next and made to repeat myself to every one of them, and they ALL tell me it's been taken care of but nothing changes! They absolutely just won't give it to me. They've shut my phone off three times saying that I owed them money and I'm late on my bill which I'm not, considering they have taken 276 from me. My old phone was returned to them at least 2 months ago. I have never received such awful treatment from any customer service in my 65 years as I have from Verizon! They are thieves!

    Can't give a zero. My mother-in-law passed away in February. My wife immediately cancelled her phone service as most dead people don't use their phone much and some not at all. Bills are charged and paid forward of service. But it doesn't matter because they have a way to get paid for nonservice to dead people. It's been 5 months and they're still taking money. And they increased her bill for being dead. About 20% and rising. My wife has been on the phone multiple times for hours. Asking why. No understandable answer, "oh we'll fix it". Last call they said she's not on the account so they can't talk to her. OMG!! My understanding is that everything is in the system so the latest person can see what has gone on. I feel they're getting commission. My wife has paid the bank $35 to no longer permit payments for 6 months. I guess we'll see if they try to steal from my poor deceased mother then.

Each time you call, the express statement is that your bill will be reviewed for savings. I do like the idea. I have had home internet that has not worked in 7 plus months. I had called about it, and no solution. I recently made them look, and as they see, I had not used it because it was broken. Did they credit me? No, they kept me on hold for almost 2 hours and finally made it so I can get another router. But no credit.

    When I finally said I needed to speak to a supervisor in the United States, they got me one. She asked me about a mobile hotspot that I had not had for over 3 years, but I was still billed. Was I offered a credit? No, not at all. When I said I need the hotspot because I don't have it, they made me pay for it. So I have spent well over $1000 on the internet and hotspot I could not use. They will call if you owe them, but they will not try to do anything about a service they are being paid for you are not using. Flat out, Verizon customer service sucks.

    My father died late last year. He was the primary on the account. My mother wanted to purchase a watch to put on her number. We processed everything, but then asked if we could change over the account to her. What should have been a red flag to the customer service agent to STOP and reverse everything we just did ended up with my mother getting a brand new account and a watch getting attached to the original account that was being closed.

    Fast forward 1.5 weeks and we have spoken with no less than 10 customer service agents, been hung up on twice, been given the promise to have a call back from a manager that never happened, visited a physical Verizon store twice, AND the cherry on top is that my mom had to give back the watch and pay for a new one on her account AND in addition to this, someone CANCELED her phone line in the process, which was never requested. Resolving that took 5 hours to troubleshoot between 4 customer service agents who thought they knew what they were doing and just one who helped us figure things out AFTER we had been troubleshooting all evening.

    We called to get some kind of compensation for the EXTREME trouble and was only offered the senior discount that she should have gotten in the first place as the resolution. Since Verizon has been ran by AT&T execs the quality, plans, and customer service has been reduced to just average terrible service. They even started AT&T's aggressive solicitation tactics.

    I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon in January 2026 because I was promised a fixed monthly bill. Unfortunately, that promise has never been honored. Since joining Verizon, I’ve had to call customer service every single month because my bill keeps increasing without a clear explanation. Every time I contact them, I’m told the issue will be fixed, but the following month I receive another bill with a different, higher amount. It’s incredibly frustrating to spend hours on the phone month after month just to correct the same problem.

    I expected better service and billing transparency from a company like Verizon. Instead, I’ve experienced nothing but inconsistent billing, broken promises, and poor customer service.

    I was transferring my phone number from another carrier to Verizon while also purchasing a brand new phone and phone plan from Verizon. I had it all set up and the phone was ready to ship -BUT they charged my card and 2 days of waiting later told me nothing. So I went to my email and saw that they wanted to verify my identity. Even after I sent them photos of the front and back of my ID and other documents. They said sorry but you need to call customer service. So I called and I told them that their list of approved documents to verify my identity are things that I do not own. They wanted: 1. Public utility bill (from the last 30 days) 2. Vehicle registration card 3. Home landline telephone bill 4. Cable or data service provider bill 5. Current lease or mortgage agreement. I had none of these because I've never owned a home, always on the move, and I'm 23 years old.

    I asked if there was any other way to verify my identity even though they already had my ID card front and back -and they said no flat out. I even went to a Verizon store to do this all over again and the front desk person just brought out a company phone and put me on speaker with the same lady to tell me the same thing. I eventually told them politely that "I will be taking my business elsewhere and I want a full refund", they told me the refund will take up to 10 business days but it's very unusual to me that they do this to a customer who purchased a $1000 phone directly from them without even verifying their identity before hand. If you ask me that actually sounds like theft. Now I have to dispute the charges on my bank account and deal with the hassle of this unfortunate scenario.

Went to try the suggestions instructions etc. and now they verizon has been ignoring all my chat request. All I had have is one small question. Little question and then I thought I figured it out and that one small question is now a nightmare. So do I recommend? No, unfortunately verizon is NOW a monopoly as well as the GOOGLE giant and AMAZON.

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

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

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

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

On 06/30/2026 at approximately 1:45 PM EST I was on the phone with a representative trying to figure out the issue. She told me my application had simply been denied because my information was not verified. I asked her what was not verified, or what I needed to do to get it verified. She just stated that she could not tell me anything else, I simply am not verified.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just sad, if I could give 0 stars, I would. I'm leaving Verizon. Paid the bill this last time and will no longer be with them. Feeling valued is everything.

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

    I bought an IPhone 17 and in 3 weeks it has frozen up and automatically calls SOS 911!!! I kid you not. The store I bought it at states if I want a new and different phone, I have to pay a restocking fee, taxes, and the fee I paid to have them transfer all my data. I called Corporate. They said that is not the policy and that there is a buyers' remorse policy and I should get a new phone a no charge. The bottom line is Corporate is pointing their finger at the local dealer and vice versa and not is taking ownership of the issue. If you go with Verizon, ONLY buy your phone through the 1 800 number or call and find out if there is a CORPORATE BRANCH IN YOUR CITY AND BUY IT THERE. Now they want to send me a refurbished phone in place of a 3 week old new phone that I paid over $1,000 for!!!! RIP OFF... COMPANY.. NEXT PHONE WILL BE THROUGH T MOBILE.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    4th: Again Escalated on April 13, 2026

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

    UPS
    Lost & Stolen: **
    Representative: Sam

    Case # **

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

    Transferred to Verizon Representative:
    Luis: Supervisor

    Escalated ITTS Ticket

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

Very, very disappointing. I was able to speak with chat for 2 hours and was assured services would be restored and every call was a chatbot and they said I couldn’t speak to an agent until bill was paid!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This company had horrendous customer service. I will never use Verizon again and am in the process of switching to a new Internet provider. Don't use them, they will lie to you. Even if I HAVE THE MONEY, they won't let me change my payment method, which is bull.

    They did not cancel my service for 2 months after I called to cancel even though I sent the equipment back. Then they refused to clear the bill for the unused months and added late fees. After 5 months of calling and wasting over 16 hours of time they said they would clear all of it. The next month I got another bill with late fees. They are the worst and rip you off.

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

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

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

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

    I purchased a Google Pixel 10 Pro, the battery life was not that great, only 1 feature was good, but not enough to keep the phone. I switched back to my Motorola G 2025, after chatting with 8 different customer service people in the span of 15 hours and them keep saying we are going to get this figured out while I'm with you, I do the resets and all just to come back and have to tell the next agent what was happening. This has been almost 2 weeks, I am now up to 10 customer service people, including a supposed manager that just stopped responding, so I ended up leaving the chat after waiting for an hour to hear for the next step and lying about the status of my refund, or shall I say, they advised it was going to take a month when the app said 5 days.

    Spent over 2 hours with her to come out still having issues, not to mention a trip to the store, so 11 people "helped" me, yet the problem still isn't fixed. My service has been garbage for about 2 or 3 years ever since they introduced that new 5g just to charge 100 more a month. If I didn't share this account with others who have not had as many issues as me, not to mention all the blackouts/service towers being out, I would never recommend them to anyone.

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

    I dropped Verizon for another cheaper carrier. After I did that I received an email from them that said I owed $474.32. No explanation, or itemization. I tried emailing them, and got no response. I went to the Verizon store with my information, because I wanted to find out what the bill was for. The person there said that he couldn't help me, and gave me a phone number to call. The reception was so bad, that I couldn't continue with the call, and had to hang up. After several attempts to log into the Verizon site, I was able to find out that the bill was to pay off my phone. Wouldn't it have been easy to say that in the email that they sent me? Instead of "You owe $474.32".

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

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

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

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

    Verizon Wireless’s system was down, zero phone usage by customers in 2026. Verizon issued customers a $20 inconvenience credit with an apology. 5/2026 They RECHARGED the credit to my/our accounts!!! Go with a completely different carrier.

    I have been with them for over 2 years. I get 5 to 10 spam calls a day or at least I did until 12 days ago. I haven't had service in 12 days and it's not because my bill isn't up to date. I didn't have service for a couple of days prior to them offering me an iPhone if I would sign on for 36 more months and then we got locked into an agreement. They sent me the wrong phone an iPhone 15 at with a completely different order number than what it shows on my receipt and charged me $1,500 as well as the fact that my phone number calls an attorney's office in Portland Oregon somehow. I don't know how that's possible... And your service absolutely sucks in the mountains!

    I have spoken to 9 or 10 different people including a supervisor in the last 12 days. I have chatted and the messenger. I have spoken on the phone. I have attempted the website online. I've gone through email and all I have is no service and an old useless iPhone that I can't activate because one of the idiot employees changed the SIM card without notifying me of what the new information is and so they can't even text me to allow and for whatever reason they refuse to email me even though they utilize the option of email or text for every other thing so I have an the wrong phone that I cannot activate.

    I haven't had service in 12 days. They sent me the wrong phone and they charged me when they're talking about offering a free phone and all I want to do is scream and cuss at this 'service'. And they charged me $222 for the wrong phone and want to charge me a $50 restocking fee for their mistake and I refuse to be locked into another 36 months with Verizon.

    VERIZON IS TERRIBLE! I have been a customer over 4 years now. I added a line for my daughter and was sent a LOCKED phone by them that I was directed to return because they couldn't unlock it from T-Mobile (I recommend T-Mobile at this point). I was wrongfully charged two internet services that I cancelled before it ever shipped, they still shipped and still charged me. After talking to 5 different people totaling 8 hours on the phone with customer service $850.00 and $1400.00 in wrongful charges. I was reassured several times, the payment wouldn't come out, the payment would be refunded, to now being told there's nothing that can be done. Terrible customer service, very misleading, promotions were falsely promised and never applied! I have never been so frustrated in my life and still don't have any straight answers on why my bill ended up like this. Do not get Verizon! Straight talk and T-Mobile are who I recommend using.
