In the last three years the services is the worse. I have tried to call and ask questions about it but everything is a CHAT. I have been with them 13 years and they use to be the luxury of phone services in US but now they are like Boost Mobile

Adrian, my sales associate is Manager Material. He worked hard to save me money. I bought an Apple 17 phone. I could afford the deal he gave me. Service great! He was friendly, polite, he was attentive to my needs and budget. He should go far with your company, for sure!!!! I hope you don’t overlook him. He is now Asst. Manager in Woodburn, Oregon. I mentioned the same thing to the Manager. Thank you! I am a teacher and like good service! I certainly got it from Adrian and he Made my day!!!! Again, thanks! Margaret **

Last month, I attempted to set up new phone service with Verizon. This service was never established due to issues on Verizon's end. Apparently their system would not recognize my phone at all, thus I was never able to make any use of their service. As their representatives made clear to me, my account shows no activity of any kind. After speaking with their support staff, none of their proposed solutions ever worked. Instead of a solution, they added a second phone line to my account, entirely of their own volition and entirely without my knowledge or permission, and they never informed me of this until I called them. Despite never actually providing any form of service, instead doing nothing more than wasting hours of my time, they are insisting on billing me $126.84.
I have already spoken to their support staff about cancelling this bill. Despite wasting more of my time, they have taken no action on this matter, and the bill stands, still damaging my credit score. Even when I spoke to them, they said they would see if they could merely reduce the bill, apparently not intending to actually cancel it.
At no time did Verizon provide any form of service to me, entirely due to issues with their own system. This problem is entirely theirs, yet I am receiving the consequences for it. They still insist that I owe them money for nothing, and they refuse to take action to cancel the bill. They are demanding money, they are damaging my credit rating, they are creating entirely pointless stress, and they are wasting far too much of my time. All for absolutely nothing, no form of service provided whatsoever.

I had service and it seem like my bill kept going up and up in price! I switched and I made my final payment on 9/20/2025 and received the email stating, "Thank you for your payment." Then tell me why they send me a bill a month later for 200$ when I had my service disconnected a month prior and then two weeks after that they send me another bill saying I owe the amount paid off on 9/20/25 again! Make it make sense because if I just paid my balance and none of the devices are on how do I still owe! Verizon is a SCAM!

It deserves 0 stars!! After being scammed at the Watching NJ store out of $830 trade value and the rudeness and lack of help by the perpetrators I decided to call corporate to try and get back my money. It took several calls of 45+ minutes to get a Supervisor (Luis **) who was honest and helped me get every penny back.. Shame on the reps who thought I would go away when they kept putting me on hold and lose my money

On November 3, 2025, I reviewed my Verizon automatic billing and discovered that my November bill had increased from $119.89 to $190.44. I printed out the billing and observed that my Veterans' discount of $35.00 had been removed and certain administrative fees had been increased, albeit minimally. But the increase in billing was a surprise and seemed capricious.
Upon calling Verizon customer service, a service agent named Robi took my call and, thereafter, corrected all my issues and reapplied the Veterans' discount and other discounts to my billing, and also applied said discount to my next billing to correct its removal from the present billing. She was extremely helpful, patient, courteous, and informative, and went out of her way to correct my serious concerns about Verizon's action on my account. She even advised that several customers had notified Verizon that their Veteran discount had been removed. She said these were being addressed or had been addressed.
I anticipated Verizon customer service would be disinterested in my complaint and would be uncooperative, but I found just the opposite. I want to use this review to acknowledge customer service agent Robi as the ideal agent for handling controversial issues with Verizon. I know this review isn't the common review, but when a customer is treated fairly and with due diligence by a customer service agent, a positive review may be significant as a change agent for the organization.

Found out Verizon charged use 10 dollars for the privilege of calling them to split off our account from a relative to start our own bill and pay them a larger monthly bill. Since the store can't do this they force you to call their main office then charge you 10 dollars to do it. Verizon don't you make enough money without ripping off your customers when providing customer service? Your owners would probably be the first ones complaining if a company did that to them. Come on Verizon don't treat your customers like this.

I think I finally finished a four month saga in cancelling Verizon home internet I never really had, but I am just waiting for the next billing cycle and any more collection agency notices. It started when I thought I may want to change internet providers at a second home I have in Reno for my kids to live in while attending college, and where I was at the time for several weeks. Verizon had a decent deal, so after having trouble with the Verizon app (since I don't have Verizon cell service) I went through customer service to arrange a new account.
I then called my current provider to cancel, but they gave me a much better deal than what I already had or Verizon was giving me, so I stayed with my current provider. Within the hour of calling Verizon to start service, I called them back to ask them to not send me the modem, and cancel my account. The representative said my account was so new I wasn't even in the system, but he would put a note somewhere for someone else to cancel once I was in the system, don't worry.
Cue chaos. First, several days later, the modem arrives.... 400 miles away at MY house, not the home in Reno. I could not get back to that house for another couple weeks. I called Verizon, they said when I get to that home, drop the modem off at a UPS and they will scan the box for the return address, and everything will be cancelled, and I won't owe anything as long as I get it to UPS within a month, don't worry. So, I go home with a few days left in the month window. I return the box to UPS, then immediately leave for a lengthy trip across the country.
UPS delivers the box back to me within days. I call Verizon, get transferred several times, having to repeat my story to each person I am connected with. I have no Verizon phone number to make it easy for them to find my file or for me to use some phone numbers I was given to call. So, I also have to go through a lengthy wait as each person I am transferred to can find me.... anyways, hours on the phone, just to be told to drop it off at UPS again, it will be fime, don't worry.... I said it will just come back to me, so they offered to mail me a packing slip.
Meanwhile, I am now getting emails from Verizon telling me I owe them $223, and to check the app (which I don't have access to because I don't have a phone number or account number that anyone has been able to give me). On return home about two weeks later, no such slip was in the mail. I go to UPS, they scan the box, tell me it would go to my home again, so they tore open the mailing box and the pristine modem box scanned something, and said it would be sent to some place in Pennsylvania, don't worry, they do this all the time.
I have been told not to worry and still had to worry too many times in this fiasco, so I worried. I called Verizon, went through four transfers and a couple of dropped calls to boot, to make sure that 1) this "someplace in Pennsylvania" is a valid Verizon place, and 2) that I won't be charged for the modem that I never took out of the box, much less used, because UPS decided they needed to toss the box and wrap it in bubble wrap. Eventually, I get someone who tells me, "Don't worry (!!), it will be fine, they do this all the time with UPS." BUT, he gave me my account number. Finally, everyone else over the past two months before that refused to do that. Cue a week after, and I get a collection notice for $223 from a third party.
I called Verizon again, talk to another three or four people, each of whom I had to tell my story to, three hours on the phone and a dropped call, to be told they got the modem, don't worry(!!!), they will take care of collections, it was all a big mistake, so sorry for your frustration, etc. I did manage to get them to send me an email saying that the account is clean, I owe nothing, so I can need use that should the collection agency still try to get me to pay.
A few weeks go by, and then I get a bill from Verizon for $10. Again, I don't have that infernal app, I don't know what this about, so I call again, get transferred several times, given phone numbers to call that I can't get through past the robot because I don't have a Verizon number to input, call again, tell my story ad nauseam, get transferred a few more times, was told my account number doesn't exist, another person says my account number does exist..... anyways, another several hours on the phone to be told that the $10 is a FREAKING CUSTOMER SERVICE FEE because I had to call them to address my issues.
Considering I have now spent upwards of 20 hours on the phone and made several trips on their behalf for mistakes they made for an account I never really had, they should have been paying me. They certainly don't deserve being paid even a penny for the abhorrent customer service I "got." They cancelled the fee, said don't worry (!!!). I asked for another email to say I really don't owe anything, but they said they don't do that, really, don't worry, it is all taken care of.
I had had enough, I wasn't going to argue the point that they actually *do* send emails saying accounts are clean since I have one in my inbox right now, so I gave my ear a rest and hung up. That was about two weeks ago. I am waiting for the next chapter in this story to drop. If nothing else, I have been convinced to never ever ever ever get a Verizon account for anything. If I have had this much trouble with a nothingburger, I can't imagine being dependent on them to do something I need quick and efficient service for.

Do not and I emphasize do not deal with Verizon. I have been a customer since cell phones came into being. The company was consistent years ago with pricing, plan information. Now I am seeing ongoing issues related to my bills and each representative you speak with has different information. I have been put on hold for unreasonable wait times. I work long hours. Dealing with Verizon has interrupted my work day and cost me time away from my business. My daughter was in Italy for two weeks weeks. Rep suggested not paying a flat fee but change the plan for the two week period. I did not feel comfortable with this solution however I was assured that when she returns to call and cancel the upgraded plan. Now told previous plan no longer exists. This is not just bad business; it is fraudulent. I have filed a complaint with the BBB. And of course my bill reflects a significant increase now. Looking into other carriers now. A disgrace!

I've been with them for 13 years (internet, cable, and home phone), always took care of my bill, now that I'm furloughed, I called to see what could be done to assist during this hard time and they treated me like I was nothing. Mind you, within those 13 years the internet service wasn't always great, yet, I was patient and went through all the nonsense. Now that I need some understanding, the customer service reps were nasty towards me (both of them), and uncooperative. I'm definitely going to find a better service provider who cares and understands it's customer' needs.

Verizon sucks big time. Their systems malfunction awfully. Terrible connection quality in many places in Van Nuys. Even on the Walk of Fame my TWO YouTube lives ended abruptly on TWO different accounts because of the poor quality of the connection they were providing. Now I'm trying to pay off the remaining balance for a device. I got from them and their systems simply don't work. They cannot even process payment of around $700 online so that I can get rid of them.
They also broke their own terms. I signed up for a device and the ad said that it would be on them. Before signing up, I was paying $55 a month for my one line. After I signed up, the price first jumped to $62 even though I asked the person who was responsible twice whether the price would remain the same and he said yes, and I paid $80 while signing up as he said it was about taxes and that would be the only extra thing I would pay. However, two months into the deal, now the monthly bill is $89!!!!
I have spoken with at least, probably, 12 representatives. No one cares and no one wants to help. One of their representatives told me he would call me back and asked me to wait for five days till the end of the week and never called me back!!! Verizon is horrible. The only positive thing is the good manners of some of their health center representatives and their excellent acting skills in terms of apologizing and telling how sorry they feel about my problem. 😏 It's been several days and multiple calls. And now my account says I will be charged extra, although the problem is caused by them.

I love Verizon customer service representatives in Portland. What I don’t like is feeling like Verizon scammed me. I took the WiFi for $35/month but I didn’t get reception at my house in Ingleside. I brought it in and the rep told me I had to take it to a UPS store, which I did. A few months later I was still getting charged monthly. I called and the Verizon rep (not Portland) had a hard time finding the router. She finally found it using the address the router was sent to. A few months later I was charged $300+ because I “didn’t return the router”. I called again and once again they could not find the item. I had to bring the UPS receipt to the actual store for them to consider giving me a refund. This sounds so much like a scam, it’s unreal. I have it a 3 because I like everything else about Verizon.

Got 3 new phones and transferred 1 of my current paid off phones to a new line. Very disappointed at the fact that I was being charged over $400 for things that I didn't know about nor want. I paid this $400 for a few months due to me thinking it was because of the new phone/ line. I finally had time to sit and look over account. I canceled basically EVERYTHING that was added to my account that I didn't want. Bill went down to $219. Had to add protection to 1 line. Bill is now up $100. So now my bill is at $319. Now I'm not a mathematician, but how the heck does adding a $19 coverage to 1 LINE make the bill $100 more?!
Oh, also, why do I have to pay all over again for a phone that was paid off? Thats the biggest rip off that Verizon has done. Just because I didn't want to get a 4th new phone, I'm being charged for a new one even though it was 2 yrs old at that time. I do not recommend Verizon to anyone anymore due to these recent money hungry situations I've been in. Just as bad as NIPSCO.

I switched to another carrier (for half the price Verizon was charging me on our 2 mobile phones) on October 9th, 2025. The new service provider asked me to obtain a transfer PIN from Verizon so that we could keep our current phone numbers. After being on hold for 53 minutes, the technician arrived to change out the SIM cards on our phones. He was able to obtain the PIN numbers from our iPhones so I disconnected the call. The transfer to our new carrier was fast and easy and our tower signal strength improved.
I tried calling Verizon customer service again to confirm cancellation and was told that I would still be billed for the month of October but would receive a partial credit. On the 20th of October I was billed for the full amount of the billing cycle so I again called Verizon customer service and was told that the credit was processed and be returned to my bank account in 7-10 business days. It is now November and I have not received this credit, so I again called you know who and was told that a ticket was never created for this refund. WTF! So this representative said that she would kick this problem "upstairs" and that I should receive an email from them in 1-2 days. I understand that customer service is not what it used to be but this is ridiculous.

I ordered Verizon 5G Home Internet (the $30 backup plan). It worked for one week before dying, blinking red light, no internet. I spent hours on the phone testing it while I used up my wifi days. Support was useless; nobody reset my usage since I only get 7 days a week. Getting a replacement was another nightmare. Long hold times, endless transfers, and when it finally arrived, the new box had the same red light issue. I called to cancel, but Verizon kept charging me for a month while I waited for a return label that never came.
After calling again, they finally issued a credit. The rep told me I could return the box at a Verizon store, but when I went, the employees were clueless and rude — they said I was given wrong information and refused to take it. This company has the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. The incompetence is unreal, no communication, no accountability, and total disregard for customers. I’ll never recommend Verizon to anyone.

Next thing I know I now owe 90 and they can't help me due to it's all turned over to the collection dept. They told me I was wrong despite the bank statement and letter from the bank.

I have been with Verizon for more than 35 years. In the past years with dropped calls, as we only use Verizon for our phone, our monthly rate has increased 40%. All loyalty programs removed. On service, I was talking to a machine which did not understand me, transferred to an agent who analyzed and said sorry, couldn't do anything, and then to a supervisor, who virtually said, "If you don't like our new policies, deal with it" and hung up.

It's as bad or worse than going to a USED CAR lot. Verizon lies about everything. Recently I visited my local store to add a 5th line to my account. They said if I bring my own phone they would only charge me $10 a month plus tax and would waive the activation fee. When my new statement came they had not only charged me an Activation fee $40, but had added a $10 hotspot fee I did not request. Unfortunately they did not stop there. They added a $900 Bring your own phone FEE! for a phone I have already paid!!!! Then they give you a $25 credit against this new fee for 36 mo. In other words you owe them $900 for a paid phone if you don't stay with the service for 36 MO. This is disgusting. DO NOT GET ANY BIG PHONE COMPANY PLANS.

The first time I called, I was transferred then hung up on shortly after I began speaking. The second time I called, I was transferred 9 times and on the phone for a hour and 30 minutes for something that should of took 20-30 minutes. I was transferred between several advocates from the same department that would say they are transferring me to the correct department and just transfer me over to another representative in the same department. The last actual representative I spoke to, I asked to speak to his supervisor.
He said I had to be transferred to a different department and ask to speak to a supervisor there. Once I was transferred to that department and spoke to a supervisor, he actually had to transfer me back to the department that the advocate transferred me from to begin with. I spoke to 7 different customer service advocates and 3 supervisors and finally spoke to someone about the issue. My issue was still not resolved and I am going to leave a review on several different review sites about the fact of the awful customer service. My bill is over $1,000 and they are saying they can not lower it and my service has been disconnected since August.
I work in telecommunications and customer service myself, if this would of happened at my job, we would be required to compensate the customer on credit on the next bill or discount on the current bill. Either way, this is inexcusable and should be dealt with promptly. There is no reason your representatives should be so undereducated or even that irresponsible. If that is the case, I would suggest getting all new workers. I was laid off because of the government shutdown is why my bill is behind to begin with, they should be appreciative over the fact they still are even able to work and afford to take care of their family. I would suggest implementing better procedures for customers on being transferred and actually enforcing them. Also, I would advise next on making it possible for loyal customers to be able to work it out somehow to keep phone service at least while in the government shutdown. Have a nice day.

Am extremely disappointed with Verizon Wireless. They refused to cancel my line 407------0284 and obstructed the return of a device advertised as “FREE”, even after sending a return envelope. Representatives gave misleading, contradictory information for over an hour, repeatedly ignored my requests, and treated me with disrespect and condescension. Their behavior borders on discrimination and unprofessionalism, creating unnecessary stress.
Verizon’s actions are deceptive, abusive, and in violation of federal and state consumer protection laws, including FTC rules (15 U.S.C. §45), FCC regulations (47 CFR §64.2400+), and Florida FDUTPA. They have continued billing unlawfully, misrepresented promotions, and obstructed my rights as a consumer. I am now escalating this to Small Claims Court, the FTC, FCC, and the Florida Attorney General. Consumers, document all communications — Verizon’s conduct is misleading, disrespectful, and legally questionable.

I am trying to switch from T-Mobile to Verizon but I think I'll cancel! They are unable to provide me any update on my order and I have no clue when I'll be able to actually switch to Verizon. Placed first order on 6th Oct got canceled without notice. Second order the staff have no clue. Their customer service sucks! They have different service of order online and different if you order via store! And Verizon has no clue what’s going on with either of them.

I came here to leave a review & I can see that I am not the only person having issues with Verizon & their staff. They have lost yet another customer. I have been with them for about 5 years now. I have paid them a lot of money for multiple devices but after recent events I will never do business with them or recommend this phone carrier to anyone! Long story short they do not care about their customers at all and each representative with give you a different answer every time you call. The wait times are ridiculous and their steps are so repetitive & then call drops just as you're being transferred to someone else.

Switched to Verizon after they said they would give me money to pay off my old phone. They sent a virtual card that isn’t compatible with Apple Pay.

I was a Verizon Wireless customer for decades before moving. My new cellular service is THREE HUNDRED dollars less per month and Verizon is still harassing me months later for money that I do not owe, despite having been a loyal autopay customer… and despite having paid THOUSANDS to disconnect/pay off devices when I left.

I have been with Verizon since I was 16, now 42. Their service in beginning was unmatched. They were Ritz Carlton level service. However it has declined so bad, even die hard fans like me, had to leave this month. They are so shifty the last 5ish years. They tricked me on getting a new "Free" phone not knowing it was 3 year payoff, so if you want to get a new phone you pay it off for 700 a year later. Then they tricked me into lowering my bill by switching to new upgraded plans, because it would lower the monthly bill.... Only to find out month later the Bill would go up. It kept going up. To the point it was near double.
On top of that, the service, internet and mobile has all gone down hill. My theory is because Verizon makes so much money off of sharing their towers with others. So paying way more for Verizon just is not worth. They gave me $25 loyalty discount then one day just took it away and would not give it back. So went to T-Mobile, they paid off $2700 in phones we had with Verizon and my internet speed went from 40-50 MBS to 400! Lightning fast. Everyone I know loves T-Mobile. Hopefully they stay good.
Now I have spent near 2 hours on the phone with Verizon this morning because they jumped my home internet bill from 25 to 50 despite getting the $25 guaranteed for 10 years back in 2022. They are claiming they can't switch it back despite it being a guarantee for 10 years as long as I don't move. No bundling required. They play so many games and are so shifty. I know you die hard Verizon people are holding on, but it's not worth it I would say, they lose in every category.

I’ve been a loyal Verizon customer for over 22 years, but my recent experience was deeply disappointing and unacceptable. On October 19, I placed an order for a phone with in-store pickup, expecting it to be ready within two hours. Days passed, and I still hadn’t received the device. The store staff informed me the order was “stuck” and couldn’t be fulfilled. The manager was dismissive and told me to cancel and reorder—essentially asking me to pay for two phones and wait days for a refund.
Over the course of 16 hours, I spoke with more than 25 different representatives. None could resolve the issue. The app said the order was “preparing,” chat reps claimed it was “ready,” and the store insisted it wasn’t. I was told to wait 72 hours for an automatic cancellation that never happened. No one attempted to escalate the issue or investigate why the order was stuck. Support was limited to repeating information I could already see in the app or get from their ineffective AI chat. At the same time, I tried to cancel my seasonal MiFi service. Verizon doesn’t allow online cancellations, so I spent two hours in chat sessions with long wait times.
After escalating to the executive team, I finally received a refund on October 23. I requested a call at 2:30 PM CT due to work obligations. The rep called at the correct time—then immediately hung up. I spent 20 minutes trying to reconnect and was promised a callback that never came. Verizon’s systems are broken, their support is disjointed, and their staff—from chat reps to store managers to executive support—showed a lack of professionalism and care. I wasn’t asking for a favor—I was asking for accountability. This was a complete failure in customer service.

Do not waste your time with Verizon. They constantly repeat that you are the best part of Verizon, when in fact they are the worst part of our day. They refuse to help you with the concerns that you address. All they try to do is to get you to say everything's okay when in fact it isn't. They take no accountability for their actions. They constantly blame it on someone else and tell you that they are so sorry and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you have a great experience. All it would take is for them to do their job and get us off the phone. We don't need to be on hold and beyond these calls for hours on end.
It is absolutely ridiculous and at the end of it we do not feel like anything has been accomplished. We feel diminished and depleted. Do yourself a favor and do not use Verizon wireless for service. They will let you down with their customer service. Incompetencies. Verizon appears to have the best network but the absolute worst customer service.

Few days ago I walked in to a Verizon store in Bethesda Maryland. Verizon advertised T-Mobile customers, "If you bring your recent bill from T-Mobile, we will give you a better deal and free phone with that deal you will be locked in for 3 years." The salesman took my document bill and said, "You should get everything you have with T-Mobile" including obviously my perks with T-Mobile which was free Apple TV and free Netflix with ads as long as I stayed with them. That evening when I got home, no Netflix and no Apple TV except the free 6 months that they offer for anyone, I tried to do the chat thru Verizon app with no success till midnight, the next day for 3 hours plus with no resolution and lies.
Then on Monday I call escalation team with a very rude lady hung up on me 3 times and transfer me to a Spanish speaking line. I don’t speak Spanish so I was transferred to the English speaking line which the Team member was polite but his solution for my problem was to go back to the store deal with them. I said to him that he was a polite guy but his idea was ridiculous (unacceptable) then he put me on brief hold and started a ticket and said I will hear my decision 5 to 10 business days. In the meantime I have to pay for my Netflix or don’t watch. Plus my bill 75 after taxes fees and credit card auto pay with T Mobile. But now with Verizon $96. $106?….

I just joined Verizon Wireless this year and have been a Verizon Fios Customer for 3 years. I needed a new wireless service and figured their mobile plus home discount was a good idea, since I already had home internet through Verizon. I have spent at least 5 hours trying to get the discount applied to my bill. They use a different accounting system for Fios and mobile and combining the two is a challenge on their side. It's not worth the discount, if I ever get it, when you have to fight for it for hours and hours due to know technical issues. And everyone on their end is saying I should get the discount. Save yourself time and use a different carrier.

This company repeatedly, fraudulently scams customers - it is shocking to me that this company has not yet been shut down by the US government. I can’t express how many negative experiences I have had with Verizon. This is a group of scammers that purposely make dealing with Customer Service very difficult so that they cannot resolve issues.
Verizon has overcharged me and fraudulently charged me over three times in the last three years of being a customer - and despite the fact that they have in my file notes that admit that they have wrongfully and fraudulently charged me for services not rendered, they say they will refund me every time I talk on the phone with them spending over one hour with customer service but yet they still never have successfully come through with a refund. For example, one time after I canceled my service (cancellation confirmation email and all), they still charged me for several months afterwards erroneously. I was owed an I was owed a refund of 9999 per month$99.99 per month after the service date ended.
After spending hours with Customer Service the closest I got was a nonsensical and laughable $80 (supposed to be $99.99) Verizon gift card - and here’s the kicker - it didn’t even work on the Verizon site when I tried to redeem it. Unfortunately, I have been stuck with them because there are no other Wi-Fi providers in my area. Verizon’s Customer Service is actually comical. Avoid all cost if you have any alternatives.

I am here to share the most deceitful experience I have ever experienced in my life from Verizon Wireless. The issues I will explain detail false marketing, customer relations, chronic lies, customer service, no resolution, illegal and unethical behavior. 1. False Marketing: On 10/8/25, after being with T-Mobile for 22 years, I saw a commercial from Verizon for iPhone 17 devices on us + bring your bill and we will beat any plan. This looked very appealing. So, I called a Verizon Sales Agent with a location code of **. I explained I currently have a 7 mobile line account along with 3 watches. Totaling 10 lines. I explained I am a military Veteran. I communicated; I 2 of the 7 devices with T-Mobile had high balances, as they were recent trade ins (Balance of $965 & $937). Agent ** communicated to not worry as Verizon has special promotions to bring in new customers.
I was quoted the service plan (Unlimited) would break down to cost around $177 per month + with auto pay, military discount, and come over from T-Mobile, my bill would be around $117 plus taxes and fees. I was very surprised, because similar offer at ATT came back around $250, and after auto pay, around $190. I then moved on to discuss devices. We discussed attaining 7 new devices and trading in 7. We wanted 2-17 Pro max, 3 17 pro, and 2 17 airs. I was offered $1100 per device trade in for anything iPhone 14 or newer. All my devices were iPhone 14 or newer; thus, I was told the trade in discounts will basically wash out any device fees. I then was offered, a free watch or iPad, so I selected to get a watch.
We then moved on to discuss, the remaining balances with the 2 T-Mobile devices, and I was told, I would immediately receive a $800 gift card to help resolve the balance, and another gift card for $965 once I upload my T-Mobile Bill. This all sounded really good, so I proceeded to create the account. My order # was ** created on 10/8/25. We paid $479.25 for taxes on the devices.
As the rep was creating the order, he took the information for 6 devices, phone numbers, IMEI to establish porting over existing numbers and validate the trade in devices. When he got to the 7th, device, I was told, he is unable to complete the order due to system limitations; however, these first 6 devices are setup, will be shipped overnight, I will receive them by 12:00PM the next day, and the agent stated he would call me back on 8/9/25 at 1:20PM to process the 7th line & 3 watches. It was also communicated, once I receive the devices, a automatic port over from T-Mobile to Verizon will occur. Everything promised here was all false marketing, lies, and deceit and as I will continue my story, you will better understand.
8-9-25: The next day, no phones arrived as promised by noon, or that day. I started researching emails, attained the tracking number, and it showed, they would arrive on 8/10/25 by 8:00PM. So, I assumed I misinterpreted what was said, and waited until 8/10/25. On the morning of 8/10/25; 2 of our T-Mobile lines went SOS mode. Our primary business account line was not working. This immediately started causing significant loss in revenue for our small family-owned business. We were patient, I researched the Fed-ex shipping and showed they would arrive by 4:00PM. I received the phones by 4:00PM, assumed I would turn them on, and service would be established. Took 4 phones out of cases, turned them on, and everything was in SOS.
Customer Service Issue #1: On 10/10/25, we were without service, losing significant business revenue, and we called Verizon Customer Care. We got care on the phone, and while validating our new order, our plan, and services, we were told we will send you over to technical support; however, just a update, you plan charges are expected to be $962 per month. I thought I was delusional, and this ended up being a 2-hour debate to just cancel everything, I will return everything, and the problem lies, I have no service on several phones, and I need immediate resolution due to the financial impact being caused to our family business. They were refusing to cancel services and eventually stated they can validate the agreed terms of service, and that the $962 was just a temporary bill as the rebates, trade-ins, and discounts would not reflect for a few days. I was assured what I agreed to would be honored.
Finally, got sent to technical team, and they started troubleshooting. I started my call at 4:00PM, and it was now about 7:30PM. The technical team agent kept me on and off hold for about 1 hour. He told me he was working with back-office support, and they are working on why I had no service on T-Mobile or Verizon. He took my number I was calling from in case of disconnection, to call me back. At around 7:45 PM, the call disconnected. The agent did call me back. At 9:00PM, I was still on hold, the agent returns, and states, they have identified the issue, and he will return in about 30 minutes, and service should be established on the Verizon Network. I then waited until 10:00PM, and the call disconnected. This time, no return call was made.
I called back in to technical support, and the department was closed. This technical agent literally left me on hold, left shift, and went home for the day. Nothing resolved, no service, and my business now has lost what I calculate to be about $7000 in sales contracts because customers think we are closed because our number is no longer in service. Now 10/11/25 arrives, and I call Verizon Technical support when they opened. Its around 9:00AM, I get a person named Sarah. Sarah was the only good, honest, and kind person in this nightmare from 10/8/25 to now 10/147/25. She took ownership of the port mistakes that were made, and she spent 6+ hours troubleshooting each of the 6 lines. She asked me to take them all out of the box, and she had to fix internal port mistakes, had me power cycle, turn on airplane mode, power cycle, and eventually all devices worked.
After 6+ hours, we then discussed the 7th line and 3 watches that were never ordered. She transferred me back to sales to complete the order that was supposed to be done by agent D031501 who completely ghosted me.After 2 hours on hold, I decided to disconnect, and planned to call on Sunday afternoon. We can confirm, we lost several business accounts that were in final phases of establishing new clients because in this day and age, availability is critical.
10/12/25: I initiate a call with sales around 4:00PM, work with them for 3 hours, and due to system limitations, nothing is getting done? Suddenly after several hours, Verizon accuses me of not being who I say I am and tells me I need to re-validate my credentials. I did by answering several questions, and after several hours of no progress, the call was literally disconnected, and of course, the business is now closed. I then, create my online account, and attempt to order the 7th line/device online. The system allowed me to (Order ** and I stupidly paid another $68.75 in sales tax to Verizon and received the order confirmation email). I then, started attempting to port over the 3 watches, and during this setup, I received a message on the portal, due to fraud activity, I need to call the fraud department.
I called the fraud department, and they told me I will need to upload my Driver's License, and my Social Security Card to their online portal. I stated, I will happily type in my social security number in a encrypted portal, I will upload my license; however, I will not send a pic of the full number. They stated, 2 bills would suffice with a license. I received the validation email, and uploaded the documents as requested. It was not Sunday night, I have spent a total of 20 hours dealing with Verizon, lost several thousands of dollars due to porting issues, been disconnected and not called back at least 10 times, told I am not who I say I am, and have 4 lines working on Verizon vs 6 and the 7th line not ordered because I had just received a email, due to fraud that order is pending.
10/13/25: My mom who is on my account, who owns the family business, had the most prominent call scheduled for Monday at 9:00PM. We had a firm offer for an Investor to buy 1 of her 3 businesses. Due to the lack of service, we were already on shaky ground, as the investor was making assumptions, we were not serious. But since Verizon got us back online Saturday, we though all was ok. My mom spent 7 years building this business, and we were looking to sell so my mom could retire.
On Monday, the call was scheduled for 9:00AM local time. This was not a Zoom call, Teams call, it was a old fashioned voice call with a potential buyer. Literally at 8:30AM, I talked with my mom to wish her luck, and I was arriving at my job. Then, at 8:49AM, my phone went from 5G to SOS. I had no service, my mom had no service, my dad had no service, nor my brother. This caused my mom to miss the final sales discussion with the buyer, and we lost the sale. This was almost a 250K transaction my mom worked for 7 years building. The buyer was irate and stated we are not serious and moved on.
Customer Relations: Once service was disconnected, no ability to even call Verizon, my mom and dad went the Frisco Verizon store located at 2330 Preston Rd, Suite 500, Frisco, TX 75034. The ability to call 611 allowed a call and we were connected to a customer agent who could not figure out why we were disconnected. The store did not open until 10:00AM, so we were on hold for about a hour. We get transferred to the fraud team and are again placed on hold. We walk into Verizon store at 10:00AM, give a brief overview of what's happening, and the initial rep tells us to hang up as he can solve this as he has better resources at his fingertips. So, we trust, and hang up on the call.
After, we get in there, we start explaining all the issues from the beginning, and this rep tells us the issue lies in the plan you were sold because that's literally not possible. He stated, I can redo your plan and get you on track. I told him, I'm not here for any of that and I need him to just call his resources, as we have our no service, and we desperately need service. Suddenly when I had no desire to redo a plan, his desire to help my service turn back on, become null. He then called his manager who was not yet at the store, and I was told his manager will talk with me soon.
After another 30 minutes of waiting, his manager arrived, walked up to me, and stated, the obvious. "Please share with me what's going on." I said, "Somehow my service was disconnected, I came here to get assistance because I have been on calls for over 20+ hours since 10/8/25, and I need someone to represent my concerns with the back-office team who could make a impact vs being dragged in the mud filled with dead bodies."
This manager whose name rhymes for Florece ** (Initials LE) had no desire to find out why my service was abruptly disconnected without any warning, notification, or reason. Then manager "LE" stated the only thing he can do is look at my account from a sales perspective and stated it looks like the account is not complete and we would need to redo the account. I said no thank you, I like the terms I was offered and I'm ok with my account. I just need help calling the back office and would like their help to represent me as a new customer, so I won't get disconnected, lied to, treaded poorly, hung up on, people leaving shift with me on hold.
At this point, this manager became very rude and started laughing at me and my spouse for thinking I could possibly be offered a plan with the terms I described. I again asked if he would kindly call any back-office support of someone that was described when I walked in (better, faster resources). Again, this manager continued to belittle my inelegance asking for a written contract, on what was promised. I said, I don't have such a document as I don't even have phone service.
I was refused the store's Wi-Fi password as I was not considered a new customer interested in new service. He then stated, he will not represent me to call any back-office team to see why my service was disabled. He told me and my family his time is to valuable to help me, and at this point I am welcome to leave. He stated, your welcome to use my landline, and call anyone you wish; however, I do not have time to help you in any manner, and if you are still here at 8:00PM when we close, I will have security remove you. (What an absolute disaster I am in). It gets worse for several more days from here. Good news, I recorded every conversation in this store from the minute I walked in, to the end over 4 different recordings.
The last thing I asked for was his manager's name and contact information, so I could reach out. This manager LE refused to provide that, told me several times I am not worth his time, and I am welcome to leave. This guy was one of the most arrogant jerks I have ever dealt with. Someone from his back office must have told him to not help. After I left, my only option was to call Verizon Customer Care again. After another 1 hour on hold, I get back to a fraud person. I was advised that my account was disabled because I no longer qualify for a postpaid plan and the only way I could have service reconnected is if I accept being on a prepaid plan that would cost $962 a month. I asked why this happened. Mind you, I have a 725+ credit score. The fraud team stated there is no comment, nor any reason as why this is happening. At this point, I asked for my account number, and transfer pin.
10/13/25: After this deceitful 6 days of hell, I went to ATT located in Frisco. I was welcomed in by Natalie. I explained what has happened. I explained I have 7 phoned I activated on Verizon, I still had 3 phones without service somewhere between TMO and Verizon (pending port), and I am desperate. Natalie and her staff then gave me a great offer to switch to ATT. Is my bill $117 a month, no. I never expected that or asked for that. It was offered by Verizon (AKA Satins Helper), and I signed on never thinking I would lose so badly in just 6 days. ATT spent literally 8 hours (a store manager + representative back office) to get 6 of my 7 lines ported over and working that day with an incredible offer.
The 7th line, Verizon refuses to release the pending port on to this day so I have a line and a family business member without service. I attempted to just get a new number; however, since ATT ordered my device on that number, I would have to pay full price for the phone as the device incentive was already processed. This is not ATT fault Verizon refuses to release the pending port. I am now literally stuck as a number that's been ported if not activated, I have been told will expire in 7 to 10 days if no service is activated according to ATT. So now Verizon's refusal to release that pending port, I have a family member, business team member without their mobile service.
This is the family member that does all our business marketing a new generation of sales. So, now, we as a family, have to share other devices with each other as we are awaiting the pending port to expire. (WHAT A NIGHTMARE ON STEROIDS). Verizon has now cost my family over $270K in lost revenues and counting in 7 days. I promise, we are not wealthy, we barely get bye. Our overhead, minus are earnings some months is break even. Now, with Verizon devices in our hands, no trust in this organization to mail them back, I call care on 10/14/25. I stated the obvious, that I have no trust to ship them with a label, and my preference would be to take them to a store and receive a turn in receipt of the device in perfect condition, and I expect my refund for all taxes paid to be returned. The rep stated that won't be an issue and sent us to the Prosper Texas store to do just that.
The promise is there won't be any issues to turn back the 6 devices. We get to the Prosper store and immediately start recording the conversation. The store employee is updated with the situation, logs on, and tells us we will need to pay a $50 restocking fee for all 6 devices. We shared, we were told that all notes have been updated on the account, and they will accept them and close out the return. This employee stated, that is not possible, and unfortunately there is nothing he can do. So we call customer service back from the store after 30 minutes of refusal to take back the devices, a store manager that would not engage to help at all, and no solution. The customer service team now states, the only solution is for them to mail us a physical mailing label that I will receive in 4 to 7 days. In a digital age, they choose to snail mail a return label. What a complete and utter disaster this is.
To date, I have lost more money than I typically have made in a few years, caused my mom so much stress I think she was going to have a heart attack when she was unable to sell her business on Monday. My dad is a very ill disabled American veteran who depends on his mobile device to connect with the VA, other vets, and doctors as he suffers PTSD and beyond. We have to date called the Better Business Bureau, a consumer protection attorney, and will be calling the credit bureaus as Verizon refuses to take back these phones and it would be very unfair for them to attempt any further negative action.
I fully expect an internal investigation will occur that can listen to all the calls, communications, lies, deceit, and my goal is not only to seek every bit of the $270,000 dollars lost since seeking Phone Service from this Satin/Devil of a company. I will not stop now until every customer that has had the same experience is found, and a class action lawsuit is won. I am done trying to be a nice person, and from this point forth, I will do everything in my power as a person of high ethical standards to share my story, attain justice, and prevent Verizon to continue to take advantage of Americans.
All this over a phone bill that was promised, and instead of Verizon just admitting they made an error, having a real discussion, and giving me a chance to cancel my order or stay, I hope to God there is such a thing as "Karma" and accountability is done. Order details (10/8/25) Order number: ** Order location code: D03.
There are so many things I have not written about; however, since the 1st time I called and there was a misunderstanding of the bill, I have recorded every conversation on a device while on speaker phone, the in-person conversations at the stores, and this will all be seen in the courts over time. I will keep posting periodically as updates occur.

I’ve been using Verizon Wireless and home Internet for the past three years due to a contract agreement, but now it’s time to end my Verizon services altogether. I can’t express enough my disappointment in the lack of business ethics and as well as accountability shown by Verizon employees, this meant from customer service representatives to store managers. Over the past year, I haven’t received any verification text messages from Verizon, even though I receive all other texts without issue. Despite contacting Verizon customer service and technical support multiple times, no one has been able to identify or resolve the problem. Therefore, I wasn't never able to login my Verizon account to check the activities as well viewing the monthly statements. Calls made to Verizon CS many times, nothing was resolved, it was just all waste of my times.
During the process of transferring my wireless service from Verizon to AT&T (also known as porting out), I needed a Number Transfer PIN. I went to the Verizon corporate store at 2330 Preston Road, Ste 500, Frisco, TX 75035, while speaking with Max, a Verizon customer service agent, on the phone. I spent more than an hour and a half at the store, witnessing the conversations between Max and the store manager whom I noticed with reluctance to providing the help/support. At first, Max insisted that the store should be able to help me obtain the Transfer PIN, but the store manager repeatedly denied being able to do so, even after saying he had tried his best.
In the end of the day, the store manager claimed he had reset my Number Transfer PIN to 000000, which I could supposedly use to transfer my second phone to AT&T. After leaving the store, I went to AT&T and asked their customer service agent to complete the port-out process. Come to a surprise, it didn’t work — the AT&T representative told me the PIN Verizon provided was invalid. It translated into Verizon’s store manager just wanted to get me out of their store rather than genuinely help. I was extremely frustrated and disappointed that this is how low moral Verizon chooses to treat a long-time customer who’s simply trying to end their service. I decided to give it one last try, because my second phone would remain suspended by Verizon indefinitely if I couldn’t get the correct Transfer PIN. I went to a different Verizon store and spoke with an assistant manager named Brianca.
After explaining my situation, she was able to generate a new Number Transfer PIN for me- WITHIN just 5 minutes. Still skeptical, I went straight to the AT&T store again, and this time, the representative successfully ported my phone over to AT&T- Mission accomplished — I was finally free from Verizon’s services. While I was relieved to get it done, I was also left feeling extremely frustrated, angry, and disappointed by the poor Verizon services and customer's experience I have gone through in the process. I also plan to terminate my Verizon home internet service, as it’s been consistently slow and frequently disconnected my laptops from the WIFI network.
I know my story is long, but I’m sharing it to help anyone considering Verizon for wireless or home internet to think carefully before making a decision. There are better options out there — you just need to do your research, or you may end up stuck with below-average service for years, as I did. After 3 years with Verizon, I can confidently say I won’t be returning to their services anytime soon in the future. Overall, I would rate Verizon a 0–1 star experience. A big Zero if I possibly could.

I told them my check was only 1/2 a week and was about 700 dollars. They said that I had to pay at least 800 to keep my phone active. Also, they are going to charge a 10.58-cent charge for calling to get help. They lady who said she was the supervisor sounded confused about what was going on and if I was still on the phone. When she picked up the phone, she was mumbling stuff under her breath and asked me about transferring my service to them.

This is very long but important to know before you consider doing business with Verizon. Verizon use to be a reliable business with good and helpful customer service. I did business with them for twenty plus years. I should how bowed out several years ago. I’ve never seen a business go so far downhill. They are now dishonest and offer pretty much nothing in the way of customer service. Oh they talk the talk if you actually talk to someone and walk the walk but underneath all they offer nothing but bs. And their rates are ridiculous and they charge them at will.
I finally realized how much unnecessary money I was spending and getting treated poorly in return so I advised them I wanted to cancel my service. They informed me because I was paying for my current phone on my monthly billing I would have to pay off the balance of the 36 payments which was something like 4 or 5 payments. When I realized what they had been doing I felt like an idiot for not having paid attention and figured it out years ago.
In past years when I turned in my phone to purchase a new one. They paid me $500 dollars upfront and I paid the balance monthly on my phone bill. The previous phone before this final bill I complained about not getting my money and they said they just took it off the bill monthly. Well I still trusted them and like a dummy didn’t think it through. Then when I realized the unnecessary cost to me and decided to change service and they said I had to pay off my phone I figured out what I owed and deducted what they owed me and they informed me that no I didn’t get to take the deduction but had to pay the full amount for each month.
So basically they stole the rest of what they owed me and I replied they they took $11 a month off my bill for about 2 1/2 years and so instead of the $500 I always got even had I waited to cancel till the end I still would not have gotten $400 dollars. And they operated on my money all that time only reducing my bill by $11. As it turned out i got somewhere over $300 for my phone. I’m sure somewhere buried deep in the fine print they made sure I had no recourse. In the ethics of business I consider that an unethical and dishonest way to do business. But to be rid of them and with the large amount I could save by changing providers I paid it and on 6/28 cancelled my service and moved on.
In order to get my new service started I had to cancel Verizon and my new provider had to have notice it was cancelled. I called while sitting in the store where I set up my new service. The phone balance was already paid off. When I was told my service was still active the day I was making the actual switch I called again and this time they told me I still owed money for service of an ipad so they couldn’t transfer the service for the iPad only the rest. I didn’t care because I didn’t need service for the iPad from any provider except our wifi in our home. They had offered the iPad for free and it was not their latest model or anything special when I got it but I did need a new one at the time so I agreed to $10 a month they said I’d have to pay by adding it to my service and I’d be set with a new iPad.
So I should have owed $10/month for the 36 month period, (They had offered a “free” (funny funny ha-ha) laptop if you added it to your account for $10 month as I stated above), I use an ipad to download books and read from and primarily to do a few things with wifi that I don’t need service for because I only use it when wifi is available and only for the basics. They never mentioned this previously when I discussed my cancelling my service but like with the phone I figured I had to pay out the 4 or 5 months at $10 etc completely close my account with them.
The guy I was talking to said I would had to pay $80 some dollars to get the ipad cancelled. He had a strong accent and with hearing issues myself I was having difficulty communicating so I finally said “just put that amount (even though I thought it was more than I should have owed) on my card on file and get my account completely closed because I just couldn’t take dealing with them and playing their games anymore. I asked him if he could use the card on file and he said yes and I told him how I felt but said to just get it closed. He agreed and I advised the people I was working with at the new provider and we completed the transaction. They got a message from Verizon saying I needed to do something on my phone so the number would transfer. They said I had to go to a Verizon store to fix it.
I was frustrated that they couldn’t just explain it to me on the phone but went to the closest Verizon store. First they told me they didn’t know what the customer service people were talking about but then the guy said he might know what needs done and went into my settings and showed me what to change so the setting could be released. I returned to my new provider and they were then able to set up my new service. I was very relieved but little did I know it wasn’t over and that Verizon, even after I contacted them and told them my service with them was complete as of 6/28 and they no longer had authority to withdraw from my bank account they continually kept withdrawing money and I had to advise my bank of fraud and stop payment on their withdrawals. And just a few days ago they sent me a message saying I owed them all this money and my service (that I know longer had) would be shut off if I didn’t pay.
I had dealt with a live customer service chat agent one day for two hours and they couldn’t see my account to tell me why they were withdrawing money. I asked what kind of customer service couldn’t view my account and they said I had to log in. I advised it wouldn’t let me log in and also wouldn’t let me change my password and there was no way I could log in (likely because my account they were still withdrawing money for had been closed previously). I asked for a copy of the transcript of that chat and they agreed to email it but all I ever got was a number to reference the chat. I have screenshots of much of this but that chat I didn’t screen shot because they agreed to email me the transcript. More dishonesty. I do have screen shots of other transcripts however including my rejected attempts to log in.
When will this ever end. I’m assuming I will get a notice from a collection agency and I will have to furnish all this information and dispute the charge. What kind of business has Verizon become. Pitiful is one word that comes to mind. And as I said dishonest, unethical. Lots of fitting adjectives. And that’s how I was treated after doing business with them for over 20 years. Very sad on that their part and they should be ashamed. I’ve asked them to go back and review the phone calls and chats but again they just ignore me and continue to harass me. When will this end and what will the result be. I hope I get some justice.

First they ordered the wrong iPhone on my plan. So they reorder the device, but they order the wrong Apple Watch. So they place a reorder again, but they don't enter the same promotion from the first order. So then they cancel my account completely and start over. But now it takes 30 days for the system to wipe my information for a new order, so I have to wait.
30 days later I try again and open an account with the same devices, but now the promotion is expired. So then they makes changes in the system to honor the promotion for the trade-in. So I ship my old phone in exchange for the new iPhone. Then they lose the device in transit and refuse to honor the trade-in promotion. So they charge me for the new phone. Then they find my device weeks later and reverse the charge. But they don't actually. So instead they offered to offset the price difference with credit on the account. Fine. So I use the credit to buy AirPod Pros through them.
Then they ship the wrong model AirPod Pros. Then they refused to take them back because I opened the package (as if I knew the usb-c vs lightning - wasn't listed on the box or on paperwork) even though I never even took them out of the plastic.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the unacceptable customer service I received when contacting Verizon Wireless on 10/1/2025 regarding transfer PINs for my account with eight lines. On my initial call, I was told incorrectly that one PIN could be used for all eight lines. The representative gave me “123456” or “000000,” neither of which worked. I called back later and was disconnected/hung up on. At approximately 8:25 PM EST, I reached another representative who placed me on hold for 15 minutes, only to return and tell me that I would need to go into a store to obtain the transfer PINs. When I asked why I had been left on hold for so long, the representative became angry, rude, and disrespectful. He refused to provide his supervisor when I asked, saying “NO.” He refused to give me his name, saying, “Why would I give you my name so you can use it to try and threaten my livelihood?”
He then told me I should be ashamed of myself and hung up on me. I called back at 8:43 PM EST and spoke with another representative who quickly provided all eight transfer PINs within minutes, proving the earlier representative’s behavior was not only unprofessional but also misleading. This experience was highly unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely out of line with the standards I expect from Verizon. I request that this matter be investigated, that the representative in question be held accountable for his conduct, and that Verizon provide a formal response regarding corrective action.

If I could give a rating of NEGATIVE 1000 for Verizon Wireless, I would. This is regarding moving my daughter’s phone onto her own plan. I walked into a Verizon Wireless store in Hagerstown on 9/22/2025, and was told that I would need to make an appointment at a Store with my daughter present to move her off of my account onto her own–that this was the only way. I made an appointment for 9/24/2025 at the Columbia MD Verizon Wireless store for 4:00 pm.
Upon arriving at the Columbia MD store, I was left waiting for 15 minutes after my 4:00 pm appointment for someone to even talk to me (I checked in at 3:45 pm that day). I was then told by the store manager that they could not assist with moving my daughter’s line off my account onto her own. I cursed only ONCE, and was told by the manager that I was being ‘abusive’. The manager threw a list of phone numbers at me, and was told I would have to call a number on the list, and could leave the store to do this. By that time, I had driven from the Martinsburg WV area to Columbia MD to meet my daughter (she lives in Baltimore) in the rain for an hour and a half and I was at the end of my tolerance for Verizon (didn’t curse anymore–only said ‘BS’ ONCE initially).
Since I had made my appointment two days in advance at this store, I was not about to leave without a resolution, so I was told we could call at the back of the store. I called, then put my daughter on the phone. The customer support person on the phone said she needed a CODE, and it was all I could do NOT to LOSE it in the store (I didn’t). I marched over to the manager and told him this–he then proceeded to get me to open my app and was shown where I could have accomplished this from the beginning (and could have saved myself the trouble of making an appointment and driving all this way in the rain). The customer support person on the phone could tell I was upset, so she was able to get a verbal agreement (and text to my phone) to take care of the matter, and get the line transferred to my daughter.
The Hagerstown MD store personnel SHOULD have been better educated on this matter and could have just saved me the trouble and stress by just showing me how to accomplish this through my Verizon app. The Columbia MD Manager was EXTREMELY rude and should have also just walked me through this process using the APP from the beginning instead of saying “Here are a list of numbers–call this ONE”, and should have de-escalated this immediately just by being more understanding and walking me and my daughter through the process.

After a severe lightning storm, my cell phone went into SOS or had no service at all. My husband’s cell phone was fine in just > 24 hrs. I spent most of 3 days online with Verizon trying to resolve the issue, to include going from physical to virtual SIM. They determined that I needed a new physical SIM on iPhone 11 Pro. They said that it would take over a week to have one delivered. I decided to visit the local store to pick one up on 08/01/2025. The store was already packed 10 mins after it opened. We signed in with a representative who also requested our PIN, which we gave him. He refused to just sell us a physical SIM, stating that they were required to install it. After a long wait, we had to leave for an appointment. I called the Verizon support line and requested that they mail the physical SIM, to which they agreed.
A few days later my husband called Verizon to pay the monthly bill, due by the 7th. Due to past issues with the company & local credit card fraud, we didn’t use autopay. They reported that someone paid our full monthly bill in cash in the store. Time stamped after we left, we had a $0.46 credit. When I logged into my account, someone had attempted to purchase Google Play, which is apparently for Android, which we don’t have. We immediately closed the account and switched to Spectrum. We had to change phone numbers and as a precaution, changed many passwords. A couple of days ago, we received another bill from Verizon for $12— plus the $0.46 credit was tacked on as debt. My husband went back to the same store, where he paid the “final bill” in single dollar bills and a baggie of pennies. They weren’t happy, but cash is still legal tender in the USA.
Most of the online Verizon support sounded like it began in a large call center in India. As my original problem went unresolved for hours, I was eventually connected with a clear voiced American English speaker. We switched to Spectrum, where all help center operators speak clear American English and when asked, have worked for the company for at least a decade and were located in different parts of the USA. While the Verizon store handed my husband a paper receipt that our final bill had been paid, he has not received a confirmation via computer as requested and agreed upon 2 hours later.

Absolute WORST customer service. Impossible to get true prices on upgrade lines until final checkout. Promotions are not honored. Trade-in was a rip-off. Phone costs much higher in the end. After many years with Verizon, I opted for Total Wireless...Absolutely horrible experience with them too. Let me begin with the phone itself. I purchased the device directly from the Total Wireless website and due to the high price, opted to finance it through a third party. No issues with them and even paid off my account a few months early. So the device is locked to the network, had been active for 16 months, completely paid for, and they were refusing to unlock the device and kept getting the run around of excuses and told I didn't meet the requirements to receive the unlock codes.
So I said, "Let's try another provider." Waited weeks to receive phones from them and turned out to be Verizon in the end (Xfinity Mobile). Could not get my number transferred ON THEIR OWN NETWORK! Are you kidding me? So I said, "Cancel Xfinity and keep Total active." Then Verizon buys Tracfone and all others in the network. Keep the phone line as is and suddenly there is a discount on the prices for service. OK, cool. I usually ensure that I keep service paid for in advance of the end date to ensure there is no interruption in service. So I buy "reserve plans" and do so for months. My credit card expired and waited on replacement and was glad that when it was the re-up date, the reserve plan kicked in.
Forgot to update Verizon on the new card and the end of the cycle, service is cut. No issue you'd think. Just buy another month's service...It was impossible to do so. The site was requiring me to change plans, lost my discount entirely, was demanding that I pay for multiple lines that weren't even mine. I called instead and for 3 hours on the phone with customer service and could not get agent to understand I suddenly had multiple lines on my account that aren't mine. They kept saying I had to pay for them to get my line activated again. So I gave up and purchased a phone card from Dollar General. Paid for a $65 card. Return home and add it to my account. Phone does not have service still after hours.
So I called in again, was told that they couldn't use that card and they would issue a refund and needed me to pay them directly for service plan due to their computer system update. Never received that refund. For months I call, nothing comes of it. Can't get a refund from Dollar General and don't expect it from them. Verizon says that it was applied to the account and doing so voids a refund. What? Was then told it was that I purchased the wrong card. I bought the old card where you tell them how much to add. They no longer have those and the cards now have the service plan on each card and vary in price. How does the customer learn this? I purchased a prepaid card from a third party which was listed on Total website as their local retailer.
So they suddenly aren't honoring their own product. I said, "Screw it. It is just $65." Then my service price starts to change from one month to the next. $65 one month, then $35 the next, then $100, then back to $65, and finally $35 again and remains. They refuse to refund for charging me way more and can't even explain why they did so. I am livid with Verizon Value and Verizon in general now. I would not recommend them to someone I think deserves to be screwed over, because Verizon benefits in the end. If anyone ever asks for my opinion on Wireless providers, I am going to say that any provider has to be better than Verizon so I'd go with whomever is not Verizon. We only have 3 providers now truthfully.

For years I heard Verizon was the best so when I got the opportunity to leave ATT and try Verizon, I jumped on it. BIG MISTAKE. I've made the switch about 3 months ago and haven't had one day of good or consistent service. I went with a business account bcz they made me an offer I couldn't refuse, 3 lines for $120 with 100g Hotspot and internet. I also got the new Galaxy Fold 7 for around $25/mo, and IPhone 16 Plus for $10/ mo, and a Galaxy S25 for $1/mo, and they paid off my ATT devices.
First off, the internet was impossible. I have a home based business and their internet caused me to miss multiple days of work due to the internet not working. I stayed on the phone with Tech support for hours until I finally gave up and got TMobile internet. I give TMoble a thumbs up because I haven't had any problems at all with their internet service. The Verizon phone internet service is equally terrible. Forget making it through a complete 2 min Facebook video because it ain't happening. Get halfway through a video and you can count on buffering from there on.
I have never had more than 2 bars of coverage on my phone. And to top it all off, the rep that signed me up lied about the pricing. When I got my first bill it was $270, not the $160 I was promised. When I called the guy that signed me up, he feigned ignorance and I got nowhere with that. Needless to say, I'm omw out of this hellhole and I advise you not to enter after I leave.

When I asked about it, I was told they had stopped their "loyalty" discount...so clearly my 18 years of paying a high rate to them was of no value. They had also been charging us for a "plus" plan we did not asked for or agree to, but when I asked to stop it, they said it was bundled with something else so would cost me in another way if I stopped it.. Today I paid off our phones and am changing services. The best they would offer me for 2 lines cost 170/month...multiple other providers offered the same service for 70$.

After long bot engagements you get to a customer rep who then transfers you and you go in circles again with the reps who then tell you to call the number you just called.
After insisting to talk to the supervisor with 2 different reps (1st rep said cannot open your account so cannot transfer you to a supervisor) Finally get to the supervisor who says, I have to transfer you to the other dept because I cannot open this account. After challenging him to even try, he got it open then solved the issue. But no apology, nothing.

Verizon has been a complete nightmare. I was misled from the start at a so-called Verizon store that never disclosed they were not an actual Verizon-owned location.

My bill has been different every single month, and I still haven’t received the discounts or reimbursements I was guaranteed. On top of that, the coverage is weak, and customer service has done nothing to resolve the issues.
I feel deceived and outright scammed. Verizon allowing these independent stores to masquerade as “real” Verizon locations is dishonest and unfair to customers.

Not only is the “unlimited internet” an outright falsehood, but when I called to cancel they say it’s unlimited in that they are providing it, but after 150mbs it goes down to slow speed. Well, 10 days with good internet, then 20 with absolutely unusable service. So I called to cancel. Omg… I’m 66 years old and I’ve NEVER HAD WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They kept transferring me and saying they could not hear me, as soon as I told them I wanted to cancel. Then they’d call back saying the same thing, so now I have people calling me, beeping the line while I’m trying to get someone to hear me.
Then a supervisor calls me. He tells me he knows there’s an issue, but he talks over me the whole time. When I tell him I may have to cancel my cell lines, he starts with the I can’t hear you. And wanting permission to use my recorded call for something. I’m saying, "I asked you a question which you answered so you must hear me!" No one would listen. They either kept talking over me or cut me off. Then I was told I had a contract. I said no one ever mentioned a contract OR a speed so slow it’s unusable. He said maybe he could get me out of the contract but could he use my recorded conversation? But then he’d go back to saying I had a contract and if I tried to tell him I’d been with Verizon for 28 years; he couldn’t hear me.
It was emotionally upsetting. I kept my voice calm and said, "I just want help canceling my internet, please." It was like being in the Twilight Zone. Never in my 66 years have I been treated so badly on a service call. So, if it’s not resolved I suppose I’ll have to go to the store.

Yes… they KNOW it’s spam and make you PAY to not get the calls. It’s bonkers. Do NOT get into a contract with this company.

Original Review: Sept. 11, 2025
I have been with Verizon over 20 years and I am now porting my number to another carrier. I have always been impressed with the coverage, but after my horrible experience with their customer service agents and tech support, I'd rather pay less and get spotty coverage. I have had my same phone number since the early 2000s. I changed plan and now I am not able to access my online account because my phone number and email are not recognized! Tech support continually sends me the same link to reset my information and/or reregister to no avail. How is this legal for Verizon to block me from having access to view my contract? I am filing a complaint with the BBB and the FCC. Oh .. And they also ran my credit to see what I would qualify for. So, not I also have to dispute with the credit bureaus that while I did give consent to pull my credit, I am not able to view any documents agreed to.

I've been a customer for over 20 years, and I am now leaving Verizon due to its poor customer service. For over 6 months my phone has not worked, can't get calls or text messages and I have been calling in to have it fixed, still doesn't work. Two weeks ago, a manager told me that my network was virtually nonexistent, and he was going to call me back after troubleshooting the issue, that call never came. I have spent 4 hours today (9/9/25) on the phone trying to fix the same issue, I've spoken to no less than 8 different people none of whom can help me. I have now asked to cancel my account, and they have the AUDACITY to tell me that I'm under contract! According to that contract I'm supposed to get service that work so the breach of contract is on Verizon's part since I'm not getting what I signed up for. Save yourselves the trouble. Go with literally any other cell phone carrier, you'll be much better off.

I would give Verizon Wireless zero star if I could. When I informed Verizon Wireless that I was going to switch to another carrier on the 11th of the month, they informed me that I still need to pay my cell bill on the 1st of the month and when I change carrier on 11th they will credit my payment card from the 12th to the 30th. They never returned the balance owed to me. Whenever I called, I was pushed around from one person to the next. Sometimes they would answer the phone, take my information, asked me to hold on and never return to the phone. I find them very disrespectful, unprofessional and downright rude. I will never recommend them to anyone. No wonder customers and exiting their lousy services.

I switched my service from Verizon to Spectrum on June 26th, right in the middle of my billing cycle. Because of autopay, I ended up overpaying by $85. I didn’t realize this until I was billed AGAIN for the period of July 22 to August 21. What followed was an absolute nightmare: over 5 hours on the phone, speaking to 8 different agents, just to get my own money back. The lack of coordination and customer care was shocking for a company of this size. It should not take multiple calls and hours of my time to resolve a simple billing issue. Verizon made what should have been a straightforward refund into an exhausting ordeal. I will never return to Verizon and cannot recommend them to anyone.

Wish that I can give zero stars to this company. I will never ever use Verizon again. I had them for the last couple years. They’ve been pretty good, but I recently moved and the phone didn’t work good at my home. I didn’t know that wireless Internet was gonna work well if I had I probably wouldn’t of switched, but when I switched, then I found out that I was gonna have a larger payout on my phone because they were taken away all the discounts because I was leaving before 36 months. They tell you no contract, but they lied about that because you actually are in the contract, cause if you get a phone, if you leave before 36 months, they take away any discounts they give you. I was never told this because they don’t have a damn storm at town.
They usually use third-party vendors, they’re not gonna tell you shit because they want you to buy the phone and sign up with them. That’s how they make their money executive relations committee. It always been very helpful, but now they’ve gotten shitty. They pass the buck onto somebody else. I wasn’t talking to the same person. He sent it to an old email despite the fact that I contacted him on a new email he made a big thing about my name. I go by my middle name, not my first name, but they put my first name on the account.
They’re just out out liars and hateful, I mean, AT&T, who I’m now with now isn’t much better. They lied to me, too. I guess all these companies are full of shit. These wireless companies, but Verizon by far is the biggest liar and they don’t even have Corporate stores in town anymore. They’re doing it by third-party people who don’t give a shit about what they do or how they represent Verizon and Verizon should be ashamed of all of this absolutely as ashamed.

I moved from IL to WI in Jan 2025. I noticed that my bill increased and went online to discover that I was being taxed for my previous state and county as well as my current state and county. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to remedy this and was told it would be taken care of. 2 months later I noted that the bill was still high and found they never took the previous state and county off of my bill.
I called again and spoke to Jess at customer service who told me her supervisor said that because I was calling to the IL are that they could charge me for that area as a primary use for taxes. Then why am I being charged for WI county and state taxes as well? They could not answer that and insisted on charging me double tax. I called Mint Mobile and asked them that if I call IL for the majority of my calls, would I be charged for the taxes in that area as well and they assured me that they only charge for my billing address for state and county taxes.

Have been a Verizon cellular customer in excess of eight years. The past 2 years we have experienced such terrible cell service and mobile data that I simply cannot perform my job remotely anymore. I have Spectrum internet and find myself waiting until I can use my own WiFi or free WiFi to transfer photos, listen to my YouTube music library or use google maps. I was lost several states from home and my data was so spotty I had to drive a half hour in an assumed direction to find service. Today my phone is incapable of texting a single photo. I have recently changed my setting to send all texts as SMS and this was initially helping but has salad stopped working.
It’s unfortunate how badly they have let things slide because when we first had it, the service was flawless at all times in all places. I called customer service and they guided me to some network setting changes which had no beneficial effect whatsoever. The service is extremely overpriced and I used to be happy to pay it because it was so reliable. I will absolutely not be continuing using Verizon.

I had Verizon Wireless phone serve for many years. Their prices kept rising while their competitors offered better deals. We cancelled their service and switched to a service exactly the same for half the price. Verizon was notified of the cancellation, but continued to debit our auto payment bank. We made numerous calls to their Customer Service lines and the staff was horrible and didn't handle our request. Eventually we went to Verizon Store and were told that it would be taken care of and we would get a refund. We just received another bill with late charges and a bank cancellation fee.
When I called their Customer Service Department the employee was rude and refused to help...he just kept saying the "bill is correct" despite me asking what the bill was for. We had no contract, or at least the one we had had long expired. I have never dealt with such bad customer service or rude employees who are completely untrained.

Verizon Customer Service is now using AI combined with automated. It’s an obstacle to try and get past the automated lines. When you ask for customer service it goes back into automation. When it can’t figure out what you need it tells you to call back. After numerous calls and different numbers I finally got a live agent and explained the situation. I’m trying to pay the bill but the way you have it set up you can’t pay it without an account number although you sent the email bill. It goes into a general site and asks for the info that’s now locked in your old account.
I switched to another carrier and a final bill came but they had already locked me out of the Verizon account and you need your account number to pay and there is no way without it so how do you pay the bill….Makes no sense. They can’t give that info over the phone but require the account number to go forward. Since I went paperless it’s not on there. Only the partial account. They require one thing but you can’t access it because they won’t provide the info. I had to request a paper account bill but there is an additional fee.

If I could give zero stars I would. I have been a single Verizon user for years. Since it is more beneficial financially to be on a group plan I decided to join a family member on another carrier to alleviate some of that financial burden. The day that my phone was moved over Verizon removed my access to my online account. I no longer had access to my bills. I no longer had access to my contracts. I did not even have access to my account number. My new carrier needed to know the amount that was owed on my phone and I couldn't get a bill to show the amount. When I called Verizon to get them to email me my bill they wouldn't do it. They said they were only able to mail it to me. Ok, fine. Except they wanted to charge me $2 to give me access to my bill. Since that is illegal I went to the BBB to get some help with the issue.
After reporting the issue with the BBB I get an email less than 24 hours later from Verizon's Executive Relations apologizing for the mishap, said that they should not have charged me the $2, that was incorrect, and immediately emailed me a copy of my bill. As I waited for my new carrier to send me the prepaid card for the amount on my card, Verizon auto-debited the remainder of the phone from my account despite, remember, taking away my access to my account so that I could not update my auto pay preferences. I called Verizon once again and explained the situation and the representative on the call said they would reverse it and that I would need to wait 7-10 business days for the refund.
10 business days later it wasn't reversed so I called again and was told that it wouldn't be done and they couldn't reverse it because it had been more than 2 weeks since they originally took the money from me. I understand that I left Verizon, but this experience has left me flabbergasted at their lack of consumer protections. Taking away my access to my account and bills and preferences the day I move to another company is so beyond petty and then taking the money automatically despite taking away my ability to update my preferences is so beyond shady - it leans into criminal. Verizon is no longer the best network. It's not the cheapest. I should have left years ago.

I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon May of 2025 and got new Samsung devices, the promotion they were having made them free. Each month the amount for the devices was credited to each item on my bill and I only hade to pay for the plan. We decided we didn’t like Samsung and wanted to switch to iPhones, we had them for a week. They had the same promotion for the credits so it would equal out to the same amount charged monthly. We had to pay the taxes on for both Samsung and Apple devices but returned the Samsungs and would be credited back over $350 for the taxes we paid.
We still have not received the refund and it is now the end of August. Every month our bill changes by $60 to $100 more than we originally signed to pay. I have called a minimum of 8 times in 3 months and spent well over 10 hours on the phone with customer service and had to explain the situation every call, even though they tell me they’re making notes on the account so I don’t have to run through the timeline again. They always say there’s no notes, or the request was actually never submitted by the previous representative. The cell service is also worse than we had with T-Mobile.

I Deeply Regret Switching to Verizon — Stay Away! I honestly wish I had never left T-Mobile. Switching to Verizon Wireless has been one of the worst decisions I’ve made when it comes to phone service. From the beginning, I was promised one price — but what I actually get hit with each month is something completely different. The bill just keeps going up with hidden charges, random fees, and unexplained add-ons that no one warned me about. It’s honestly deceitful. The pricing is confusing, misleading, and completely unreliable. Every time I try to get a straight answer from customer service, I’m passed around, given vague explanations, and left with zero real solutions.
Verizon operates like a company that prioritizes profit over honesty. It’s not customer-oriented in the slightest. It feels more like they’re trying to squeeze every penny out of you instead of actually delivering good service.

I’ve been a loyal Verizon customer for over 7 years, managing 9 phone lines and home internet. On August 10, 2025, I placed an order that included a new line and two line upgrades.

After spending nearly two hours on the phone with customer service, I was informed that the order was pending supervisor approval and instructed to call back in three business days. When I followed up 11 days later, I was told the order had been canceled — with no explanation provided.
When I escalated to a supervisor, I was told the system failed to process the upgrades and that the original agent never sent a confirmation. Despite Verizon acknowledging the issue, no compensation was offered — only an apology. As a long-term customer managing multiple lines, this experience was both frustrating and disappointing. Verizon must take greater accountability when errors like this occur. Frankly, I don’t believe this was a system failure. It’s difficult to accept that the system successfully processed a new line, yet failed to complete the upgrades — all part of the same transaction. That inconsistency raises serious questions about internal processes and accountability.

Customer service has passed my phone call around every time, leaving me on hold for hours and no resolution to my issue. I have since been sent to collections because I no longer have access to the account. Legal actions are going to be taken soon since Verizon doesn’t value their customers.

They added a new Apple watch line to my account which was 9 months ago, it stopped working about 15-30 days in. They made me go through all the trouble shooting and agreed it did not work and needed replaced. Now for last 8 months they have just been telling me its out of stock and will send one out as soon as they can. So needless to say I'm paying for something and cant even use it. They wont take it back or send a different one. So I guess I'm stuck with a line that doesn't work at all. SO be aware they will just avoid sending anything and say it's out of stock for a year.. They also sold me a new iPhone 16 and the battery would not hold a charge so they sent me a used one which was equally bad since it was a return as well.

NEVER EVER, EVER USE VERIZON!! My husband was with them for 18 yrs and everything was great until a couple of years ago and now it’s just horrible! Everyone we know and knew who has or had Verizon has TERRIBLE reception most of the time, slow choppy speeds, and the WORST customer service we’ve ever encountered ever. After providing horrible service, they made it almost impossible for us to switch, they actually held two of our phone numbers basically at ransom and we almost lost them because the process was so terrible to get them to release them.
Customer service always swears to call you back but we’ve NEVER received a call back after probably 50-100 promises. Almost all of their customer service is overseas and you can’t understand what they’re saying. During one call, they were being very difficult to deal with and we got angry so their representative actually retaliated and changed our settings so that our phones wouldn’t work at all for several days! Finally a different rep found out what setting was changed and fixed it so we at least got some service.
I travel for work and pleasure, my husband travels for work and pleasure, we have friends and family all over (in the big cities and in the remote country) and it doesn’t make a difference - they ALL have terrible experience with Verizon. I can go on and on with the bad experiences we’ve had with them but you've been warned - DO NOT GO TO VERIZON. I don’t care what happened with your old company, it’s still better than this one.

I moved from Xfinity to Verizon after they pitched me what sounded like a great deal, a $200 gift card after 90 days of service. That, plus their bold claim of having the “best service,” tipped the scales in their favor when I was deciding whether to switch. It’s been well past 90 days, and there’s still no gift card. Every time I’ve called customer service, I’ve been told they don’t know what I’m talking about. Eventually, I gave up asking. It was clear the offer was just a bait‑and‑switch.
And as for that “best service”? In my experience, it’s no better than AT&T or T‑Mobile. The only thing that truly stands out is how high their prices are. Between the broken promise and the inflated costs, there’s no reason for me to stay. When my contract is up, I’m leaving. Even without the gift card, I might have stayed if they’d been upfront with me. But once a company lies to me, the trust is gone and so is my business.

We made a simple plan change and it increased our bill 100%. I went to T-Mobile and had just paid my bill with Verizon 2 days earlier. Final bill of 600 is what they wanted. I just settled for 360 and amazed that I almost feel fortunate that they only ripped me off that much. After disconnected service they started sending all sorts of crazy bills that not one of their employees could answer.

Harder than heck to try and redeem on their promotions. They make it impossible. I was a customer for about a year. Decided to do some of their promos for home internet and a smartwatch even though after reading a lot of reviews of horrible experiences from other customers I decided to still do it. It was a big mistake. Did not get my $200 gift card as promised. Still fighting them on that over a month later and could not get my jbl's party speaker. Still fighting them on that. They claim they're on top of it but I still hear nothing even at the mentioning of going elsewhere. Back to T-Mobile. They seem to care less. All their customer service reps are from India or some other country so it's hard to understand them. Although they do seem to act like they care about you it's all lip service. They can care less even though I'm telling them I'm going to be switching carriers.

Pretty good speeds but they put the fiber box in an awkward location that requires a very long Ethernet cord to use utilize wired internet. They also promoted offers on their website that they aren’t up holding up to.

Verizon started out great helping me get my number ported over and all which was important to me because my late wife and I had consecutive numbers and I really needed to keep my number but as things do, Verizon got too expensive and we found a much better deal with a company that offered to buy out and pay off any outstanding Verizon debts and attemping to port my number that came with me. They decided I didn't need it and for the way they stole my number of 7 years, I hate Verizon, they are terrible people.

Verizon Wireless is by far the worst service provider I have ever dealt with. The customer service is absolutely terrible — long wait times, rude or unhelpful reps, and zero accountability. On top of that, their service charges are outrageously high compared to what you actually get. The quality doesn’t match the price at all. Out of all the services I’ve ever used, Verizon is hands down the WORST. Save yourself the headache, the money, and the frustration. Do NOT get this service! Don't say I didn't warn you!

DO NOT SIGN up for Verizon services. The more I read reviews, the more I realized I've been strung along and scammed. I've been a client for over 20 years. I just spoke with a supervisor (Summer), what a joke. After almost an hour on the phone. It appears I was disconnected and no call back. My bill was consistent for years and I never had issues until Dec 2024 when I made a slight plan upgrade for 1 week to accommodate being in international waters on a cruise. Since then I've had reps tell me they were doing the best for me and ended up putting me on lower plans to save $$ but with compromised service.
My bill was consistently $230/month and now I'm fighting a $398 bill!! I've removed services from my Verizon plan like Disney/Hulu and Google game play pass in efforts to lower my bill less than $230/month. I have the same service plan as it was back in 2024 and yet now they are showing $250/month even with removing services! I've spent hours trying to get this resolved and I'm done.

I live in Naples, Florida. I switched to Verizon because my T-Mobile service didn’t seem to work well where I lived. I am 40 so my brain harkened back to the 90s and 2000s when Verizon was supposed to be the best carrier for reception, etc. So, I switched everything over, and the service is worse. I then find out that in order to get better coverage (cellular data), I would need to choose a higher tier of service (adding additional things I don’t need). They even offered to let me try it for a month for free—oh boy! I’m already paying more at the lowest tier for worse coverage than t-mobile and I am not paying more each month for slightly better service than I receive now. Wish I had known about the discrepancy beforehand. They also weren’t upfront with the final monthly costs and now I’m stuck with worse coverage for more expense. As soon as I pay off the darn phone I received, I’ll be finding another carrier. Be warned, Verizon isn’t what it used to be.

I ordered new devices for pickup at the Dallas, GA Victra/Verizon store. Verizon shipped them to the wrong store in Lithonia, GA without my authorization. I never received the devices or signed for them. The Dallas store failed to identify the misdelivery, and I discovered the delivery address myself. When I called Verizon corporate, the representative ignored my explanation that I had cancelled my account over this incident and instead tried to upsell me Verizon services. Only after repeated refusal did she offer to email the store for a callback — no direct contact number exists. Verizon claimed an “investigation” was required before resolution, yet still allowed my account to close and my numbers to port, showing this was simply a stall tactic. I have filed complaints with the BBB, FCC, and Georgia Attorney General.

Updated on 08/12/2025: Update to the update: I have had yet another customer service rep reach out to me. Apparently, my account is the account that will not die, despite my having canceled it two days ago. And no one can explain to me why this is.
Updated on 08/11/2025: I am adding on to my recent horrible review. I thought things with Verizon were settled, but they actually reached out to me again, and I had to settle things all over again. Really, this just confirms my decision to cancel with them. Their customer service has really gone downhill.
Original Review: I just had the most horrible experience with Verizon. My husband died while we were stationed in Japan, and while home for the funeral, I decided to go ahead and get an American phone/plan since I needed one to help make his arrangements. Plus I knew that sometime in the near future, I’d be moving back to the States. Now, maybe I wasn’t in the best frame of mind with everything I had to deal with that day, but I was quoted a certain monthly rate in exchange for setting up an autopay. I did so, and then on the day of the funeral I got a text about my upcoming payment, which was about forty dollars more than I’d been quoted.
So afterwards, I went back to the store and found out two things. One, I was getting charged installments on a protection plan I didn’t remember signing up for and promptly canceled on the spot. Two, my monthly plan was going to be ten dollars more than I thought because I didn’t set up my autopay with a specific type of Verizon-branded credit card. Okay, I thought, maybe that was my bad. I took it for what it was and went back to Japan, so I could get my household goods packed up. When I did, I knew I wouldn’t have Verizon service until I moved back to the States for good, so I planned to rely on my home and basewide WiFi.
Imagine my surprise when I got a text my second day home saying that my TravelPlan was good for the next 24 hours. I did not sign up for this plan, but it said I’d only be charged on days I made calls, sent texts, or used data. Well, I went ahead and made a few calls since I was still trying to take care of my husband’s estate. But Verizon was the only one sending me texts, and I was only getting data from my home WiFi, so I didn’t think anything about it. Thankfully, after a week and a half or so of getting these texts, I checked my bill and saw that I had over $144 dollars worth of TravelPlan charges. Turns out I’d been getting charged $12 every single day I was in Japan, despite only making calls on five of those days. So I reached out to Verizon’s Live Agent chat since the last thing I wanted to do was make another phone call, and eventually, they gave me a credit for those seven days.
But the process was so excruciating—the chat took more than an hour—I thought about what I’d already gone through with the overcharging and decided, “I can’t take three more years of this.” And I canceled my contract right there. Which meant I had to go ahead and pay for the phone, but honestly I think I came out ahead paying now rather than letting Verizon nickel and dime me to death over the next three years. Besides by the time, the military finally moves me back to the States, the phone will be unlocked, and I’ll be able to go to someone else instead. But not Verizon. Never Verizon again.

Customer service chat seems to be rewarded for the speed with which it frustrates and chases off customers. Wow. They removed the loyalty discount I’ve had for years and is not to be messed with, they can’t tell me why the set top box constantly sends signals to my tv to turn ON even AFTER turning the system off (they won’t pay my electric bill either!), they have gotten away with predatory pricing and screw the seniors who only use a small portion of the crap provided.
