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

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

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

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

    After spending a very long time on hold waiting for the sales person to fix it, finally she claimed she fixed it. Feeling annoyed I quickly stopped our talk. Just to find a text on my phone 10 minutes later, stating this request I submitted is under review. Seriously Verizon? Of course i paid my bill paying the over charged price. Sure wouldn't want to find my account in bad standing if I only paid what I was suppose to pay. This is how you thank me for being a loyal customer Verizon!? Do Better...

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

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

    I switched to Verizon and what a horrible decision. I upgraded my phone and was told my second line would be free it was not. My bill was normally 475 a month. My bill went from $75 a month to over 300 a month. I have called Verizon times in which I was told that they overcharged me, and it was getting fixed but that wasn't the case. Currently my service is off and in order to transfer my number I am forced to pay a $300 bill that I know is incorrect. I am transferring my service as soon as I can. So disappointed in this service or lack of.

    After 2 calls, 1 hour 57 minutes, and 4 customer reps, I finally gave up. We were a 26 year client and finally left for much cheaper plan at T-Mobile, after dealing with their service issues for too long. A fully paid iphone we had originally bought through VW was listed as stolen when we tried to trade in at tmobile. No matter how often I tried to explain the issue to each client service rep at VW that I had the phone in my possession, verified my ID, they couldn't figure it out and bounced me around to someone new to start the process all over again. It cost me a lot money as I can't trade in the phone now but the frustration of dealing with their 1800 number was much worse. If you go to a store they don't care as I was told when I did they only deal with sales not service.

    I have been going round and round with Verizon since September 2025. They get my bill where it should be only to up to 60-70 the next month. I spend anywhere from 1-3 hours on the phone explaining this situation. They get the bill back where it should be and bam... the next month back up. Most recently, they told me about an old charge for an old phone that has never been mentioned the past 3 months. I may mention we have been with them for over 30 years. They lie and make things up as they go along. Not counting on a customer taking the time to fight the bill. They are losing a long-time customer now.

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

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

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

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

    We are a small business in southern MD that reached out to Verizon in Nov.-Dec 2025, trying to find an alternative to our very dysfunctional phone reservation service. After days and days, we received a call from a salesperson who said he would be at our house X day at X time to make an offer that would include internet. Our internet server is Breezeline and their customer service is horrible. Our service went down last year, and it took almost two weeks for Breezeline to restore it, costing us thousands of dollars in reservations. So we made the appointment with Verizon.

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

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

    The worst Customer service, I got the internet box last year Feb and returned it because it wouldn’t work where I live. Even though they have their box back, they’ve been charging me $105.11 every month. After going in the store because my phone was disconnected cause they added $299.97 for the Box they have in a facility in Texas. Monthly payments from last year adding up to $966.37. My bill is just over $1,000 and they want me to pay to turn my phone back on. SERIOUSLY. The WORST customer service, every time I call in they hang up on me or I have to tell this story again like they don’t take notes every call. I pray nobody has to ever go through this.

    Suspension services on Military orders. My family has moved overseas on Military orders in July 2025. We went to the office *As we were instructed to do so, brought our paper orders, spoke with manager, who knew nothing about it; and connected us with some 3rd party somewhere else and after 2hrs that we spent there, disconnected our phone lines, paid over 1000USD for phone, we decided to leave our son's Galaxy active and place a suspension there as it would cost us 10USD/mos. In Nov i started to receive an autopay notification as the system reactivated the account. I called in Dec after I received yet another bill asking to place a suspension and reimburse me per my Military orders. I was told it was done and i received another 108$ bill.

    Within 3 mos (Nov, Dec and Jan) I was charged 380$ for a tablet that had a balance of 300$. I called 5 times and i was told that they cannot reimburse me as they have no previous orders. I had to disconnect the line and pay additional 287$ for the tablet in order not to deal with Verizon and stop receiving the bill. This is the poorest service from Verizon for people who are serving the country overseas. I am not longer going to be Verizon customer after being faithful to them for the last 25 years.

I have since called in and chatted 3 different times with promises, and no manager to talk to. I was told I would not receive a credit and pretty much nothing.

    I talked to someone yesterday or the 2nd person because after an hour one agent dumped me. This agent stated, "My team said give them 3 hours and you will receive an email, but I will keep the chat open until you get the email." All along I was promised a 20 credit (what a joke) and I wanted to cancel service. They have done nothing but screw me around and no attempt to make it right.

    Today, I was completely blown away by the outstanding work Diego in Customer Service at Verizon completed. This experience was hands down, the #1 “All Time” communication that I’ve ever had with any company, worthy for honorable mention as ***World Class Service***. I was calling about an order I’ve been tracking. I received part of it and was inquiring about the rest. I got Diego and began the story at the beginning. I told him everything I knew about the order to date as well as explained the sentimental attachment.

    The first thing I noticed was how surgical Diego was. He moved at a strategic pace that allowed him to complete each step of the multi step inter department process that would follow with one in a million like precision! He has top notch problem solving, excellent research and deciphering of account notes by both human and autonomous computer generated messages, outstanding summarization skills, a natural state of order of process that proceeded seamlessly through each step with clear explanations of how each step works and transitioning to what comes next, his patience & confidence shined through which also reinforced my confidence that everything will be okay.

    I travel for my job, so having service on my phone is crucial. The past couple of months, I've lost service more times than I can count. I've dropped too many calls to even say I have proper service. Half of my texts won't deliver. I have had a Samsung for years, and every single time it's a problem after only 2.5 to 3 years. And lately my phone lags so bad it takes seconds just to click a button and have the phone respond. I went into one of the stores yesterday to show the Verizon sales manager what was going on and even he said he's never seen a phone act up that bad. And then get told that I have to upgrade my data plan because I'm on an "old plan" and pay more money?

    I get told that every single time this happens so it seems like there is no software update which causes the phone to go slow and forces customers to HAVE to upgrade. I could be wrong - This is just my point of view based on a few years with this company. But I need a WORKING phone for my job regardless. Needless to say I've been shopping elsewhere for coverage with AT&T and T-Mobile. They don't seem to have these issues.

    Absolutely Unacceptable – Repeated Lies and Total Loss of Trust. I upgraded two iPhones to iPhone 17 Pro Max models on November 28 (Orange 512GB and Deep Blue 256GB). What followed was months of delays, false promises, and complete dishonesty from Verizon representatives. By the end of December, nothing had arrived. In early January, a chat agent promised delivery on January 5 — nothing came. On January 10, I was told again, with many apologies, that the phones were fully set up and guaranteed to arrive on January 13. I waited the entire day. Nothing.

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

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

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

    This is why Verizon lost my business. I went in the Saturday after Christmas to get cell service for smartwatches that I bought for my grandkids for Christmas. They asked me who my present carrier was (it was visible, a Verizon company) and how much I was paying a month. I told them and after a few minutes, they said I could get the same rate with them plus a discount on the smartwatches with them so I switched. Sounded like a good deal so I took it. It took a while, but my phone was switched and the watches were set up. The people in the store were great. At the end, they mentioned that the first bill would be a little higher, which I expected. I was paying $45/month for my previous service. That plus $15 for each of the watches would be $75. I figured another $15 for taxes and the monthly should be under $100. So I was expecting the first bill to be over $100. When I got the bill it was over $200!

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

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

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

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

    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.

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.

    We went into the Verizon in Guilderland on Tuesday night to dispute our first bill with Verizon. Initially wanted to deal with the original gentleman who had us switch plans and providers (we only went into the store to pay our FIOS bill). He was not available and it looked like he would be a while. Without hesitation, a young lady politely told us she could take care of our needs. Her name is Ashley **.

    I simply cannot put into words how swiftly she moved through the process to correct all the problems and incorrect billing issues we had. Ashley moved through the system, toggling back-and-forth between my phone and my fiancé‘s while talking with a representative from FiOS to correct our problems. The multitasking that she displayed was unbelievable and she made everything move swiftly with ease and personality.

    I cannot tell you how many times I’ve spent over three hours in a phone store, completely ready to lose my mind. Without a doubt she is hands-down the best representative I have ever dealt with in a phone store and I would recommend her to all my friends and family. Again multitasking, no pausing in all of her actions, able to still keep on track and completing everything that needed to be done was amazing. Her knowledge of the Verizon system was by far the best. I’ve seen many associates struggle to complete the task at hand and remain focused. It makes me dread going to a phone store.

    Ashley was simply amazing. As a supervisor myself, I would love to have her on my team. She is where the bar should be set. I have never had this kind of experience, especially as a frustrated not so text savvy woman myself I would hands-down always want to deal with her. Even my fiancé who has absolutely no patience for incompetence or phone issues was completely shocked at our experience. Hands-down, the best.

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.

    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.

    Terrible company, terrible customer service. Waited on hold for 2 hrs when they said 48 minutes. They never did answer. Drove to local store. They wouldn't help. Was told to borrow somebody's phone and call corporate. Was on hold for over 2 hrs. In meantime drove to a corporate store, sat in line for hour and a half only to be told corporate would have to send a phone, we should have called them, showed him the phone. I was still on hold over 2 hrs. Absolute worthless company. Lot of angry customers in store but I'm sure they will raise their rates again shortly and continue the horrible customer service.

    Stay away from Verizon! We switched to them and wish we had never heard of them. They have double-charged us, then charged us an upgrade fee for a phone that was supposedly free. Every bill we get is higher for one unexplained reason or another and don't expect to speak with someone you can understand. Run in the opposite direction if you don't want to pay scammers.

    Regrettably I switched to Verizon Wireless from AT&T, for the most part I was happy with AT&T wireless but I decided to switch because of the promise of a free iPhone and cheaper phone bill. The worst mistake I ever made. The iPhone technically is not free I get a monthly credit for 36 months so I just can't break the contract and leave. I have to pay the iPhone off. I know coverage all depends in your area and the amount of people connecting to the towers. I have the worst worst coverage consistently in Miramar, FL and surroundings areas all the time no (5g).

    The money I saved was 10 dollars at most and not worth horrible cell phone coverage. I seriously Regret joining Verizon Wireless. The first chance I get I am leaving Verizon Wireless. Word of advice. If you do think about switching to Verizon, talk to any friends and family that have Verizon and asked them about their coverage and experience before switching. It might be different in your area.

    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.

    Where do I start, exhausted from dealing with this company from the beginning to the end for just one year. My husband and I decided to change our family plan; what an outrageous bill and disrespectful local employees when trying to resolve the issue. Called customer service after they took the initiative to charge a large amount after auto pay was taken off over a month. Refuse to refund, but thankfully for my bank that handled the situation because they are upset that we decide to deal with a different carrier. Verizon change our four digit pin code and utilize a different number so when we called customer service they won’t be able to gain access to the account or refund the transaction. Poor guy that works for them was so nice and I told him about us talking with Verizon last week and utilizing the exact same code and my husband number. How can you take large amounts without the other consent, especially when it’s no longer auto pay. That’s Theft!

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

We spent numerous occasions and hours between departments with nothing ever being resolved. 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 wife and I have been Verizon customers for over 20+ years, and this is the worst customer service considering the loyalty I've kept with Verizon for over 20+ years as a customer. A voucher could have been offered so that I could purchase the device accessories at a Verizon Store. I am also a military veteran who is on disability and on a fixed income.

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.

    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. My husband has been a loyal Verizon customer for 10–15 years, but due to this ongoing issue and lack of accountability, he is seriously considering switching wireless providers.

    As a accountant for a Verizon client I had been unable to view her invoices on line. When calling to correct the issue I was helped by a rep around 30 min telling me that it would take up to 4 days to change email addresses which had to be updated before we could request a change to security access to enable me or my client to look at invoices. Never heard of such a thing. During this time I had to Allow or enter Security codes about 6 times. Some of these I had to get from my client who was extremely busy. I was put on hold and I listened to music for 30min. Then sent back to rep who couldn't help because this was a business account (I called the biz acct help phone #).

    After another 15 min hold I got to start over with the next rep. Guess there were no note in my file from the 1st rep. 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. I was also told by the 2nd rep that some of the things the 1st rep told me was misinformation. For example she could push through the email changes immediately.

    I am 68 and disabled. I signed up during Covid and the price went from 99.00$ a month to 123.00$ a month. The coverage is terrible and customer service is nonexistent! Constant calling to Customer Service for billing issues and no accountability. When I signed up I was supposed to get a new phone! Iphone14. It’s a refurbished Phone that thinks I am in Sacramento when I am in Reno NV. I called for a senior plan and was told they don’t have one. A couple months later, I saw ads for all home and cell for 60.00$, I received a mailer. They took 20.00$ off the bill and added it back the following month. They never honor the agreements!!!!

    The worst company ever. I have had them before and they did the same thing!!! Unexplained charges and constant babysitting of the bill. They take advantage of their customers. I fired them and am now going to start over again with a different, more reliable company. At half the cost and a New phone! Not an iPhone. This phone didn’t even last a year!!!! The only way to stop the gouging is to stop using the company. There are better deals with better coverage! I will never use them again!!!

    Verizon Wireless has to be the the most misleading wireless company on the market. The staff weather in store or on the phone is the most confusing. I will never use Verizon for anything, the staff in store are disrespectful and the customer service is at an all time low. I have never felt so bad about spending my hard earned money anywhere.

    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. Well except in Phoenix Az apparently. You don't provide good coverage there so I was told. Won't be long before you go out of business treating customers like that. If you're a customer reading this, the value the cost the coverage not worth it. Go somewhere else for service, save yourself the disrespect and the headache

    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.

    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.

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.

When I called to inquire why this was done without my knowledge and permission, they said it was to pay off my device. I understand that, but I was not notified.! They said it was within my contract that if I left them before my phone was paid off that they could automatically withdraw that amount. I was also told that I should check my Verizon app. I was blocked from my Verizon app.

    When I ported out my number, I had called numerous times to get the payoff for my phone so that my new company T-Mobile could pay it out. I was denied telling me that I should look on my app once again, which was locked out of or they would mail it to me that was four weeks ago, and I never received that either I would steer clear from Verizon at all cost.

I go into SOS at home and in places where there is Wifi… recently I cancelled a bunch of stuff on my plan that was hidden from me and dropped by bill by $70 a month… I never saw the decrease it went back instantly and I’m paying the same amount I was without the protection plans now. On top of that I wasn’t getting the internet I was paying for for almost 3 years. I had my WiFi router brought to my home address and shortly after it was installed someone in Verizon out my parents address on my file (I know it wasn’t me because I had to set up the WiFi on my own and set up my account).

    My TV wouldn’t work half the time, my computer was slow and would have long lag times until my IT guy went in and said I had the worst upload speeds he had ever seen. I filed and investigation with Verizon and they confirmed I was receiving internet that was not covered in my area… I wanted to retro back and I have never heard anything since.

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.) Was gonna charge me $300 for damage until I said the phone was prior used, as old contacts were in the phone when I got it, from previous owner!!

Because the phone was not activated, my account was locked for fraud. I spent over 2 hours with customer service and they sent a new phone. 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!

    They are not clear that if you switch carriers then you will not receive the remaining credits from your previous phone trade-in. It should be illegal to not provide the full trade-in credit on devices that will be obsolete in a couple years. Very deceitful contracts and practices.

    If it were possible to give zero stars, I would. Verizon is absolutely horrible. My recent circumstance involved losing my husband (who handled the account) and everything Verizon did and continues to do is inexcusable. They requested documentation that they claimed wasn't received. I drove to a company store with the paperwork and the 'handsy' rep spent another hour not knowing what to do. The billing was an absolute nightmare, they overbilled and then claimed a credit "would be on the next month's invoice." In the meantime, I found another carrier and my only line was disconnected.

    To confirm, the website would not let me access because the number was disconnected and I didn't have the account number. 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? After waiting again, the agent said that she could not help me and that I would have to go back to the 'handsy' company store. My experience has been absolutely horrible. No wonder the reputation for Verizon is in the toilet, where it belongs!

    After being with AT&T for may years I was fed lies about how if I transferred I would get better service as well and a better device and cheaper bill. Keep in mind this is my work phone.

Contacting them 6 times on the mobile chat and being promised a free upgrade size we have done troubleshooting every time and they have seen it obviously the device! I kept being promised a free upgrade and this is after 2/3 hours on the chat. Being told I am getting free upgrade for my troubles and not doing what I was told I kept getting transferred over and over again until I get frustrated and end the chat.

    Do not make the same mistake I did and leave whatever company you're with cause they have absolutely no resolution skills and customer service.

They said call Verizon.

    Last week, I finally was able to talk to someone but he left me on waiting for transfer to someone for help, the call fell and I still receiving a bill with $7.00 late fees charge for something that I am no longer using since I transfer to a new service that I pay only $10.00 a month for phone service!

Thousands of dollars spent on phones, insurance and service only to be told that your issue doesn’t qualify for an insurance claim. They want you to reset your phone to factory settings which loses all your information and you have to set your phone up again like it’s new and the factory reset didn’t even solve the problem. On top of that, they won’t replace the phone, they want me to pay a repair shop to fix what should be under warranty. I’m overpaying high prices for services they don’t follow through on.

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.

    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.

    Verizon has to be the worst cellular service, at least I hope there is no one out there that worse. While vacationing in London, England I called to be sure that my carrier knew I was overseas. I had absolutely no WiFi service and they charged me. Trying to get someone on the phone is ridiculous. I could have contacted King Charles for high tea easier then getting a Verizon Wireless customer service rep on the phone. I continue to get bills for service that I never received. Changed my Carrier. I guess I'll just pay the bill and chalk it up as a Verizon get out of my life fund.

    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! Dump this company or don’t fall for their claims. They are awful.

    I was a client for five years without any issues with Verizon Wireless. As soon as I upgraded to the offer they gave me I’ve had nothing but nightmares; incorrect Billing. Customer service lying. Telling you one thing and doing another. No one to help with your problem. Escalating to supervisors is no help. They give you lip service. They resolve it one month. The next month it’s double whatever the problem had been. Beware. Beware. Beware. Read the reviews. Believe me. Don’t take any of their special offers thinking that they’re going to stand by it.

    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. My recommendation get everything in writing because anything they have to say is not the truth. Good luck with trying to get them to send you something in writing. You’ll find every month you have to call to correct everything and then they screw it up the next month. They try to wear you down to just give up. My recommendation DO NOT TAKE ANY SPECIALS.

    I would give a rating of zero if it was an option. On 11/22, I placed an order for a new phone to be picked up at the Galesburg Knox Square store. Did not receive any notification that the phone was ready. Tried to call store multiple times - no answer. Talked to chat agent who requested a status update be emailed to me via the store. No update received. The order status stated "we are processing your order" for 4 days. On Thanksgiving a.m. I received an email stating they had cancelled the order because I did not pick up the phone.

    Today, I went online to re-order the phone but found that they had not cancelled the order to trade in my current phone which was a part of that original order, so I was not able to continue with my online order as it wouldn't give the discounted price of having traded in the current phone. Spent over an hour with a chat agent to make the change and finally be able to get the order placed! Total incompetence at the store. Just wasted a ton of my time.

Called again and was told it was taken care of and my balance was going to reflect 0 on my next bill. Guess what. It was still there. Went to Verizon store. Person there said that all that they had to do was credit my account. Called customer service and asked to speak to supervisor. A very rude supervisor got on the line and told me my refund was invalid. No reason given. I was never notified that the refund was invalid. This supervisor said too bad but I would have to repay the amount of the refund. No other option. I will never ever do business with Verizon again. T Mobile is the best.

    Every time over the past 15 years I’ve gone to Verizon to get a new phone they totally screw up my billing. And then to get it corrected takes an act of God. I spent over 2 hrs last night on chat with Verizon to correct two separate, unique charges for services that never worked. It was my 10th contact this month. One related to a perk for TV shows that worked for about 5 days then quit working and couldn’t be reactivated. The other was a one month free trial of Verizon Internet that, after 10 days of trying, never connected and never found a 5G tower in my rural area. I spent my 11th contact this morning at 5:00 am and FINALLY received my credits after a short, 10 minute chat. Do they try to wear a customer down on purpose? If there was another carrier that worked consistently in my area I would convert in a heartbeat. Simply disgusting customer service.

I kept getting transferred over and over with no help. When I finally called, I waited 35 minutes only to be hung up on.

    I am writing a quick customer service review in reference to a staff member at the Verizon store at 14031 Hubble Drive Jacksonville, Fl. 32218. Her name is **. I brought my mother in to switch to Verizon from another network company. My mother is relatively blind and is confused with all new technology. Mindy was extremely patient, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. She explained everything in simple terms that my mother understood, and anything that was not understood at first, Mindy took the time to explain again, even a different way if that was required. She showed excellent customer service towards my mother, and even joked around with her on different issues, allowing my mother to feel comfortable with her. She stayed the entire lengthy process, and assisted my mother (and my aunt who came along as well), in obtaining the required transfer information from the previous carrier.

    She remained focused with this transaction until the end, and made sure myself, my mother, and my aunt were all clear and comfortable with all that took place, as well as the end result. Finally she explained the different charges/changes that we could expect over the next month/billing cycle that would occur. Mindy was exceptional, and she is a great asset to Verizon. Scott

Overcharging to the hilt for horrible reception and service on a consistent basis. Dropped calls constantly, their extenders don't even work WHILE charging you through the nose.

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!
