    Never again! Crooks! They signed up me for one plan but the bill for 3 times more than I signed for. International services are horrible. Customer service is below 0. I can't say 1 good word about Verizon. Unfortunately, I can't switch my mobile account now. But I will change my home services.

    Was told on day one I had a price lock. Lies. I was told if I trade my phone I get an 1100 dollar credit on my Galaxy s25 ultra and a galaxy watch 7 for free. I then was told if I started a brand new line of service I could get my daughter a iPhone 26 pro max 1 tb phone and Apple Watch for free. I was told I would be credited every month for the devices. Every month I am given a bill that goes from 253 up to 330 what next month is it gonna be 450. I'm sick of having to call in and argue my bill every month. Verizon you are liars and scam artists. You take advantage of your customers and lie on facts.

    I rather give them no stars, the worst cell phone company I have ever used. I’m set up for automatic payments, they cancel a payment and don’t let me know, double my bill for their screw up, try to refund to a card that was erased, worst customer service and their supervisor is just as bad.

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

    If I could give them a 0 Star I would. Do not sign up with Verizon. They start out all good and promising the moon until they get you in their clutches. I had my business phones with them for years. I left for poor customer service and unauthorized over charges to my bill. Well I was stupid enough to come back to them for the same thing to happen only this time they will NOT let you speak to an agent no matter what unless you pay the over charges. I am furious as a business owner to have to waste all this time speaking with customer service that promise the problem has been corrected only to have my service paused. This will never happen again. They lost our service once and for all.

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

    I’ve had Verizon for many years now. At one point they were top of the line in customer service and cell coverage performance. This is now a distant memory. Prices are ridiculous, service is equal to or less than their competitors, and I have been waiting for over an hour to chat with an agent (mind you this is after spending an hour yesterday trying to get through with no luck) and nothing.

    My Honest Experience With Verizon Wireless After 11+ Years: Extremely Disappointed. I’ve been a loyal Verizon Wireless customer for over eleven years, and the last three have been nothing short of exhausting. I feel compelled to share my experience so others know what they may be walking into. In less than a year, I’ve had six replacements for my Samsung Z Flip 4. Each phone has had the same issue: the screen suddenly goes black with no damage and no warning. In my personal experience, the replacement devices I received have not felt like brand-new phones, and I now strongly suspect they were refurbished—despite the price I paid being the same as a new device. By now, I’ve paid nearly triple what the phone is worth.

    What frustrates me most is that my phone and watch are fully paid off and still under the factory warranty, yet Verizon told me I had reached my “limit” for replacements. I was then directed to Asurion and told I’d have to pay a $99 fee. Why should I have to pay anything when the phone is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, and the repeated issues clearly point to a defect I reported after my second replacement?

    One of Verizon’s executives, Kimberly, reached out—but instead of resolving the warranty issue, I was told again that I had to pay the $99 through Asurion. To me, that goes directly against what a factory warranty is supposed to cover. At this point, I feel Verizon is not honoring their own agreements, and I am now seeking legal counsel.

    My personal advice: be cautious. In my experience, these large corporations can overcharge, provide questionable “replacement” devices, and fail to follow through on warranties. After over a decade with Verizon, I’m now looking at other service providers immediately after consulting with legal counsel. This has been incredibly disappointing, and I hope Verizon’s executives finally pay attention to how long-time customers are being treated.

    Have been a Verizon customer for 19 years. Now leaving. Have spent over 5 hours with customer service reps with unsatisfactory results. They not only overcharge, they shuttle you from rep to rep where you have to reiterate your situation over and over. In the end they make promises and fail to deliver. I am so disappointed that a long term customer is treated with such obvious disdain.

    Do not get Verizon whatsoever. Good service isn't the issue. The issue is when you're trying to leave Verizon because it's so expensive so you need a transfer pin to do so. Good luck trying to get someone to help you get that info. So here I am. Zero service. No way to call out. Do not get Verizon if you ever plan to leave.

    On November 13 we decided to look into your service, interested in switching over to Verizon from Cricket Wireless. The first thing we did was to check on your Verizon website if we could port our numbers over. The prompt on your website told us they could not be ported. Being able to port our numbers in was important to us, so I googled to see if we could port cricket numbers to verizon and it said yes. But before we made the commitment since your website said we could not, we reached out to your customer service via chat. We explained the full situation to the customer service rep. We let him know your verizon website was stating they could not be ported, and we wanted to verify that was accurate because we only wanted to switch companies if we could keep our numbers.

    We gave the customer service rep the phone numbers that we wanted to port and he assured us our numbers would be ok to port in, and that we could sign up for service and be given a temporary number. Once we activated our phones it would be an easy process to port our numbers. We again brought up our concern to verify the accuracy of the information we were being told by the representative and he assured us it would be no problem and proceeded to help us finish up the process of ordering phones and service through verizon company. While we were waiting we went ahead and purchased all the accessories we needed: Phone cases, screen protectors, charging cords for our cars, and headphone adapters.

    On 11/18/25 the phones were delivered around 3:30 pm where I proceeded to activate all the lines and put cases on them and screen protectors. Once I did that, I went to the verizon website to port over our old numbers from Cricket wireless to our new services on Verizon. I kept being told while trying to do this, that the numbers were not eligible. At that point we reached out to customer service chat through the verizon website, this was at about 4:45pm. The representative said they would help us through the process and asked for the temporary number transfer pin. We gave them the number, and they told us our phone numbers were still on hold through cricket and we needed to contact cricket.

    We contacted cricket while we were talking to the verizon rep through chat. Cricket told us our numbers were not on hold, and we had done the process correctly, and all the representative through verizon needed was the transfer pin, the account number for cricket, and the phone numbers we wanted to port. We let the verizon representative know this, and they stood firmly on the fact that our numbers were on hold, and that the problem was due to something cricket was either doing or not doing and that we needed to call cricket back. We informed them our phones were due to be shut off at midnight due to the end of the bill cycle and we were concerned because we didn't want to lose the opportunity to transfer the numbers. They assured us that it would be ok, our phones can get disconnected and they should still be able to transfer our numbers after that.

    This was about 5:45pm at this point. We had to head out the door at that moment, so we contacted the Verizon rep through the chat option on the website, on our phone. I was on hold for a while (maybe 20 min) and when the rep came to chat, I explained the whole situation again. I explained about the contact with the representative on 11/13 about our concerns prior to signing up for service. I explained the encounter with the prior representative we were talking to for the hour prior (11/18 from about 4:45-5:45pm) that we had to disconnect from. They got the phone numbers we wanted to port, the transfer pin, and the cricket account number. They again told us that our numbers were on hold through cricket, and this was a problem that cricket was causing and we needed to contact cricket again and relay the information the verizon rep was telling us was wrong and that cricket needed to release our numbers.

    While we were on hold with the agent we again called cricket, who said the same thing to us. That we had all the right information we needed to port our numbers and there is nothing more to do on their end. And that no company even tried to port out our numbers. They said it would show in the system if Verizon tried. We told the verizon rep this information where they insisted it was a cricket issue and to further push the issue with cricket. We pushed it where cricket stood firm that there is nothing more to do on their end, and we need to contact verizon to make sure the information they are inputting is correct. We let verizon know this, where they said that they were going to transfer us to a department that could better help us.

    Again we had to explain the entire situation again, and give all the pertinent information they needed. They once again attempted to port our numbers where they informed us that it wont port because our numbers are disconnected. We let them know our phones were not disconnected and that we were currently using our phones through cricket. They once again told us we needed to contact cricket wireless, where again we went through the same process and were told the same thing from cricket. That it was not a problem within their system, and we were doing the process right. At some point during the connection with the verizon rep we got disconnected again!

    At this point it was about 7:50pm. We then contacted customer service again through chat (calling at this point was not available). Where my wait was about 20 minutes long again. Since we finished up what we were doing at 8, we decided to make the 25 minute drive to the nearest verizon store to see if the representative in the store could be of more help.

    I finally got a hold of the chat representative about the time we arrived at the Verizon store. But the representative in the store was busy with another customer, so I continued to chat with the person through the chat as we were waiting to be helped. Again I had to give all the pertinent information. Where again we were being told the same thing as all the other representatives. That our phone numbers were on hold and needed to be released.

    About 20-30 min the in store representative was able to help us (I was still on the chat). We explained the situation and he looked concerned. He asked for our numbers, and inputted the information. He said, "I'm sorry to inform you, but your numbers are not eligible to be transferred." That for some odd reason, there are certain spots throughout the area that because they are not run off verizon towers are not able to be ported over. We said but your representative assured us we would have no problem with porting them. He apologized for the rep that gave the incorrect information and said unfortunately I see this occasionally and they cannot be ported.

    We left the store, and explained to the representative on chat, what the in store representative said to us. They said not to worry, they would transfer us to the back end help. They got all the information and told us the process would be quite a long process. That we should not close the window but we can carry on with whatever and only need to respond if he asks a question. He also insisted I ignored the automatic generated messages. I said ok. The automatic messages were about lack of activity, so I responded. He reminded me not to reply to them and he was still working on the issue and would let me know when he had questions.

    Again automatic messages popped up, I replied and he heavily pushed me not to respond to them and he will get back to me when he has more information. I explained I'm very nervous to ignore them as I have already been dealing with this all night and have already been disconnected, but I said I would do my best to ignore them. About 10 minutes later, my chat was disconnected due to inactivity as I had said to the rep I was worried about happening. This was about 10:30pm.

    When I was disconnected I immediately contacted customer service through chat, I was very upset by this point. I again explained the situation and said the other rep told me not to reply and was disconnected. Thr proceeded to say they were going to help, then soon after chatting with me my replies stopped going through for about 5 minutes for some unknown reason. After about 5 minutes they started going through again, and I waited on the chat from about 10:50-11:10 hoping the representative would finally reply. They never did.

    I am so extremely upset by this whole thing. We wasted our whole evening dealing with this, being continuously given the wrong information by the verizon representatives and what seems like almost knowingly, or at least not looking into the issue properly. We would have never switched had I known our numbers wouldn't transfer over. And we definitely wouldn't have spent 6 hours and gas money on this issue had we been given proper information. Our monthly bill has increased by switching to your company (by nearly $50/month), we are now having to deal with changing our numbers on everything and to everyone we know, and had our day ruined by this issue.

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

    In 2022 a Verizon agent promised us new phones in exchange for our old phones. The price after the upfront cost of $305 was $0. They reneged on this deal, proceeded to charge us monthly for new phones, said over and over in calls that we were right and they were wrong and they’d fix it, and just kept charging us. We finally got fed up and canceled service 1/23, but their “final bill” charged us for service for another month, charged a fee for “adjusted trade in value” (that’s a $98 fee for a credit they never gave us), and charged us in full for the phones we’d already paid into over $350 in monthly bills and $305 up front and were promised to be $0.

    We tried to work with them, calling monthly, but they ignored us for 6 months and then sent the total to collections. We tried to change the bill total of $1400 (a completely fabricated number) and they "adjusted the balance" to $770. Now they have reported to credit bureaus that we were “delinquent” in paying a bill we never should have had. They say we "settled" for less than the original amount (which was wrong at face value and should have $0 regardless). We tried disputing with the credit bureaus but Verizon refuses to engage or amend their story. We have no power to leverage them to even continue talking to us and need support. Tried BBB and some local business reporters but so far we have no hope. We just get our credit dumped on by a company whose reputation is trash, even though we caved and paid half of their greedy fabricated charges—ironically to SAVE our credit! Dump this company or don’t fall for their claims. They are awful.

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

    When I got my watch upgraded, they accidentally sent me two watches and billed me. I sent the Watch back. They continued to bill me for two watches. I asked them if they received the watch. They said they did. They will take care of it. They didn’t take care of giving me a credit and eliminating the second watch. Now the bill has escalated and they still haven’t resolved the issue. They led me to believe they were resolving their mistake by reducing the payment so I wouldn’t need to get a credit. The next month everything goes back to the same crap that I’ve been dealing with all along. Incorrect billing and not eliminating the error.

    They’re the most crooked company that hold you hostage. They’re awful. Horrible. Let me tell you. They lie. They cheat. They make mistakes and never correct them. My recommendation get everything in writing because anything they have to say is not the truth. Good luck with trying to get them to send you something in writing. You’ll find every month you have to call to correct everything and then they screw it up the next month. They try to wear you down to just give up. My recommendation DO NOT TAKE ANY SPECIALS.

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

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

They sent a Visa card for a person who had died. We called, went to Verizon stores and never received help in having a check written to the estate of our deceased relative. How hard they make it to get a refund. We finally gave up.

    Don't waste your time, you are paying for the free phone they claim in the offer period. Not worth the price, I currently pay 60.00 a month unlimited with hot spot included. After the 35.00 monthly payment for service my end bill was 90.00 without a hotspot that would be extra. Paying for the phone which should be free, LoL.

    I visited the Verizon Wireless store in Collegeville, PA, and was served by Pat. I switched to Verizon from another carrier and got a new cellphone in the process. Pat was terrific and took care of everything seamlessly. After 45 minutes, I walked out with a new phone loaded with all my data. The coverage has been excellent for the week I've had it.

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

    Horrible experience. I purchased a trade-in deal for 3 phones, and after a month of delivery delays, I spent almost 4 hours between chat agents and phone support with zero resolution. One agent canceled my order and promised a new next-day delivery. I got the cancellation email, but then the next agents all gave me different stories—one said the order wasn’t canceled, another tried to sell me a 4th line and a “free iPhone” instead of fixing my problem. I kept getting transferred over and over with no help. When I finally called, I waited 35 minutes only to be hung up on. Now I have no idea what happened to my order, my refund, or my trade-in… just a complete waste of time and terrible customer service.

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

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

    I haven't cried this hard since I was dealing with the WA state Healthcare system 10 years ago. I had to call 4 times over a 2 1/2 hour time span to resolve my issue. All I needed help with was to make a claim for a replacement phone, and each time I was put on hold for over 20 to 30 minutes just and the minute the person to help me answered the line hung up. Then the 3rd time I called, the worker transferred me to the beginning of the call queues instead of transferring me to the claims department. And because he transferred it I had to hang up again 'cause the customers service number was they number it kept trying to help me with instead of my own. I finally got a employee by the 4th call and 2 1/2 hrs later that helped me through the whole process and didn't have to transfer me once. Why was it that hard!

    After over 20 yrs with Verizon we opted to RUN out of this company that has turned into a fraudulent garbage pail! Playing games EVERY SINGLE MONTH with our bill fluctuating, spending hours EVERY MONTH having to straighten out their third world customer service who runs their clients in perpetual circles on purpose. Overcharging to the hilt for horrible reception and service on a consistent basis. Dropped calls constantly, their extenders don't even work WHILE charging you through the nose. We should have left this poor semblance of a cellular company over a decade ago. We now have a cellular company that appreciates our business and treats us as such, with respect and actually celebrates their customers. Best part is we are paying less than half we were being ripped off for by Verizon and getting 300x better reception without calls constantly dropping.

    Do yourself a favor and pay off your phones and make the jump to a better company. You will be way ahead! Pretty sure this company is on its way to total bankruptcy anyway. With the way they continuously abuse their customers, it's no small wonder why there is a mass exodus of customers signing on to much better networks with better service, value and treatment! We couldn't be happier since we left! FCC YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION BEFORE YOU GET SUED ALONG WITH VERIZON FOR CONSISTENTLY NOT HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!

Their rates ALWAYS fluctuate, they lie to you, promising one thing, but do something else. Seems like they’re all trained to do that! You waste your precious time on the phone with them for hours, thinking that you’re talking to someone reasonable, they promise that they’ll take care of something, but most of them don’t! One recently told me he’ll call me back on a Saturday after speaking with someone in a higher position, but he never called. Prior to this, I was offered a free phone and free line (promotion), only to recently notice that I’m being charged for it!! How does that happen??!! When the lady told me it was all free, I asked her a few times what the catch was. She said there was none, and that I only needed to pay the initial $60 tax, which I did immediately.

    This company customer support is horrible! Most of them don’t know their job. I was with T-Mobile for many years and their customer support was way better!

    I want to start off that I have had Verizon in the past and they have always been good and even now up until recently have always had a good experience. First off, we opened a new line and purchased a galaxy phone with a promotion in June 2025. My husband has always been an iPhone guy, but wanted to try this phone and after seven or eight days, he decided he wanted to go back to the iPhone. As normal, we submit the request to switch out the phone and pay the $50 restocking fee and received the iPhone and returned the Samsung Galaxy phone with no issues.

    Now, when we open that line and purchased the galaxy, we added insurance on the phone. Apparently, when we swapped out the phones, somehow the insurance was lost and the Apple phone no longer had insurance and of course we did not realize this until his phone was damaged a couple months later (I realize and take accountability for not verifying that the insurance was transferred to the new iPhone in the swap, unfortunately we made an incorrect assumption). So when my husband had some time when he got off work, he went into the Verizon store and the Verizon Associate confirmed that we indeed did have insurance on the galaxy and somehow there was no insurance currently on the iPhone that we received. He said that we lock and it was an open enrollment and he went ahead and added insurance on the current Apple phone, but keep in mind the phone is already damaged.

    So he tells us to wait until our Bill cycles and go ahead and file a claim with the insurance company and we do this and of course the insurance company (Assurion) denies the claim because there's been no usage on the phone since we've had insurance. So I started calling to speak with Verizon since this was an error on their end for not having the insurance remain on the line regardless of what phone we have. I have been calling since 1023 to try to get this fixed and Verizon will not take accountability for their mistake on it. It has been told that the insurance does follow the phone number and not the phone so they are not sure why it was removed or how.

    I spoke with an associate by the name of Renn on 10/23 with a promise to call me back by 10/26 with a solution or at least some type of info after they try to escalate through Assurion. I never received a call so I call on 10/28 and speak to a guy by the name of Joe who actually opens up a case for me and lets me know that it has been escalated and they will call me within 24 hours and you know it. I never receive a call. So I call Callback on 10/29 and speak to a girl by the name of Christina and I gave her the case number and she escalate the claim and expedite the claim. She also promises that somebody will call me back within 24 to 48 hours and this never happens.

    I did receive a text almost like a generic text from the case from a person by the name of Irvin that let me know that this will be looked into in my case will be resolved by 12/29/2025. I respond to the text and ask why it's going to take two months to resolve this and if somebody could please call me and nobody calls me. So I wait a few days and I call the beginning of November And speak to an associate and ask to escalate the call to a supervisor. I speak to a supervisor by the name of Sam and tell him my issue and he wants to fix it and sends me to a Asurion saying that they'll help. I speak to the insurance company and the associate also escalate it, and I speak to a girl by the name of Charlie and she realizes what's going on and is unable to help me or file a claim and sends me back to Verizon and tells me to ask for an in-house claim.

    I attempt to do this and end up speaking to an associate who hangs up on me by the name of Rex. And I Callback and have it escalated and speak to a supervisor by the name of Amit. He is also trying to escalate it to another department, but it's late in the evening and he cannot get a hold of them so he gives me a phone number to call the next day and do a follow up.

    I go to call 800 number he gave me and realize it's Assurion. Now at this point, I know that the insurance company is not going to help me nor should they and it is not their issue. It is Verizon's issue and I'm asking for Verizon to take responsibility and accountability for what happened and I'm very upset at this point that nobody will seem to call me back or help me. They have tried to come up with solutions that are not feasible, opening up another line which is gonna charge me more money trying to use a different line on my account that has a free upgrade to replace his damaged phone, which also is not acceptable because it removes the upgrade from that line.

    So on 11/11/2025, I call again and escalate and speak to a manager by the name of Cleo. She comes up with a great solution by buying out my device sending a brand new device and then putting a promotion on it so that we're still paying the five dollars a month for the phone and then disconnecting the old line so that it is a wash and I would be paying the same amount as I currently am and I thought great, I finally have somebody who's gonna help me and is listening. So she goes ahead and sends me the same phone through the mail, and once again promises to call me back 11/18/2025 at noon.

    So I am waiting for her call and of course she never calls after several promises and tells me that she added me on her calendar. So of course I call Verizon and spent the majority of my afternoon for hours Trying to get this figured out. And I'm back at Square one and I end up having to return the phone because they weren't gonna be able to help me and they were going to add the line on with a new phone with no promotion and I still have the old line with the damaged phone on it that I'm paying for and services on that line as well that we are not using because the phone is damaged. So I'm sitting here this morning, with a line I'm paying for with a damaged phone that cannot be used because Verizon did not transfer insurance from one device to the other. And now a new line with a new phone that has no promotions on it.

    I sent the phone back last night and I will be calling today to get a refund on that line and any activation fees refunded but at this point I am so upset and so frustrated that nobody's able to fix this or help me or take some accountability and literally do what they say and call me back and do what is right and do a device payout and send a new phone. I have been so frustrated and upset, I wanted to cry. As soon as we are able to, I will be leaving Verizon. I don't ever want to experience this again.

    I recently switched my service from Verizon to AT&T. We switched because my bill would be $100 cheaper each month. They gave us free upgraded phones and they said they would pay our Verizon account off for us as long as we got them the bill. As soon as I switched services, however I could no longer get into my Verizon account to see the bill. I thought it was user error on my part. I kept trying different passwords and then I finally get an email from Verizon saying they have taken the full amount that I owe them for the phones and the last month of service and they have taken it out of my account without approval. I turned auto pay off before I switched services. They should not have had any access to my bank account.

    I called Verizon several times. The first two people I spoke with told me that they would handle this for me and everything would be OK. The last person I talked to told me that I did not terminate auto pay, and therefore they could not give me a refund basically. I did turn auto pay off, but she says that there is another way that you turn off auto pay where you have to terminate it instead of turning it off. I can say with all honesty on the Verizon app the Verizon website there is no option around the auto pay button to terminate. You can either turn it on or you can turn it off. I turned it off. They should not have had access to my bank account after I turned off auto pay and switched services.

    So now I have -$1700 in my account right before Thanksgiving. That is my next two weeks' pay or more. All I needed was the last bill from Verizon so AT&T could pay it for me. The lady basically told me at Verizon that there was no one else I could talk to. There was no way to fix this and I was basically just out of luck because of some magic auto pay terminate button that does not exist. I feel like I was lied to by the people who talk to me the day before. I truly feel like this is a Verizon tactic to punish people who switch services.

This was told to me by 2 different customer service representative. One in December 2024 and mid-October 2025. I was also told on the call in 2025 that I could put these lines on hold and was going to call me back, did not receive a phone call.

Now my next bill is in and I am being charged for discontinued service so I call again and was told by Leslie that I would receive a credit to my account.

    It just needs to be approved by a supervisor and I asked if this could be denied and was told no because of the phone records they have and that I was told incorrect information. That it was Verizon’s fault and I will be credited. I call today for an update and was told it was denied because I am the account holder and I signed for this (totally agree, however this person on the bill took the number instead of switching because Verizon is too expensive) so now he is not paying. But if I did not pay my bill Verizon would not allow me to continue service. Then was told Verizon could meet me half way of a credit but I need to go to file a police report.

    I truly hate coming here to write nothing but positive comments about any business. But those looking to question other regular people's experience with Verizon should know what to expect. I am an 85yr old Great grandpa. Primarily, since cell phones became a thing I've been with Att or Tmo. I've never paid late, never cut off, always paid my bills. Likewise, I've lived in the same home 30 years and been a mayor of my town 8 yrs with an FBI clearance for federal intelligence briefings as needed. Starting n Oct of 25 I had began being bombarded by targeted Verizon ads I guess so where I dropped some cookie crumbs or some fingerprints? But I began to pay attention and did some shopping one night.

    They had some great promotional deals on the new iphones that got my attention. I currently had no commitment to my service at the time (Tmo) so I put an order together, submitted a number porting request and went to bed that night. Next day I had a " thank you" and welcome email with the message saying they would update me as my order progresses and ships. Then..days pass with nothing else. Finally, after 5 days I see a new email saying " We cancelled your order". Well that's rude AF. So I started digging through spam, voice mails, texts..anywhere they could have contacted me.

    Ultimately, I found 2-3 important emails in spam that I knew must have been the reason for the cancellation email. This included one email asking for some ID verification...no prob there just these somehow got snagged by spam and I never saw them..so I called into a call center that was boldly posted for any questions to explain my dilemma. ***Here's where things REALLY begin to derail. So it's a foreign based call center and in their broken english I'm told "your order was cancelled nothing more we can do"! I'm sorry, I'm telling you exactly why I never responded (not my fault or by disregard) and I'm trying to correct the issue now..this is your position? You are basically telling me to FO and hang up. I loudly said, "Send me to a manager if you can't help me resolve this"....

    Finally, success after a few heated words. Next they sent the same ID verify emails out and I responded with DL copy, utility bill - along with a spectacular letter of credit from my electric company..whom I've paid on time for 30+ years now. Next another email saying we will update you as order progresses...Yep you guessed it. Another couple of days here I'm staring at ANOTHER "we cancelled your order " 🐎💩 email from them! So this time I'm past being offended I'm on fire inside.

    I submitted a BBB complaint (it's an old guy thing). They assigned a corporate level associate to help fix things for me. She was kind enough. We went through the entire process again. She confirmed that Fraud prevention had passed my documents and my for me to submit my order again. Yep, I'm not making things up. Cancelled AGAIN! Now I'm told they can't verify my identification. Wait ..didn't...?? Let me assure you I'm the same guy I've been since birth and no one's trying to pull any fraud on anyone. It's offensive even to hear that word when considering my identity and integrity as a citizen! So I just will be staying with T-mobile. Funny once I told the sales rep at my local shop this story they were super helpful and showered me with gifts once I decided to stay with them and (matched the promo I was looking to get by switching)! Well played Tmo, well played!

    Today I see news that Verizon was "laying" off 15k employees and possibly scaling back operations as a void of new customers exists. They have a new CEO I hear as well. Maybe by reading this true account if how. Awful and unnecessarily frustrating a simple process was maybe some eyes will open. I am who I said I was, my credit is fine, my ID is legit. If there was a question concerning ANY info I submitted I'm sure there would be an easy resolution if I knew. Yet, instead of a reasonable chance to correct any concerns it was a (rude AF) "sorry, your order is cancelled," as if I were a criminal. Never ever again Verizon. Never ever - good luck.

    I worked for Verizon for 2 years - which is why I made the switch during my employment there. When I started, it was a great job because we had plenty of resources for customer assistance, our billing was transparent, and for the best network coverage in the nation - I believed the pricing to be fair. Less than a year in - all of our in house account management team was laid off. This marked a big shift in Verizon’s customer service and business strategy. Not only did I notice our customer base begin to struggle with having their concerns resolved - but I as an employee became drastically limited in my ability to meet customer satisfaction.

    Resolving promotion fallout became more common and more difficult to resolve - and frankly the most frequent concern that customers brought to us. Promotion fallout occurs when a device promotion ($0/mo for a 3 year payment contract on a premium plan, “get a watch and tablet on us”, trade in promos, BYOD promos, etc) falls off of a customer account. This happens for a number of reasons - merging and separating accounts, updating to new pricing models, sometimes the promotions just don’t take to the account even after the allotted 2-3 billing cycles.

    We used to be able to resolve these concerns. Then they started outsourcing their customer support, and it was a disaster. I saw more unhappy customers leave Verizon, and I wasn’t able to make as many sales because they understandably didn’t trust Verizon - but were stuck in this 3 year contract with a company that stopped prioritizing their customers.

    I just finally left Verizon today. My store closed due to low traffic because of Verizon’s shift towards online and phone sales. They poached the sales of their own employees out of greed - and has left customers with an impersonal experience fraught with errors. I was promised the best of 5G home internet - and have now helped both of my parents return their home internet boxes and my own. The connectivity is nowhere near what they advertise - even less than 20min out from 2 different major cities. We were consistently at less than 100mbps - typically around 50-80 - on a plan that offered speeds up to 300mbps. The older model gateway had frequent outages, and the newer model for whatever reason could not connect to 2 out of our 3 smart TVs.

    I just switched to T-Mobile internet this week, and I’m already clocking 150mbps at a minimum, and set up was insanely easy with the help of their fantastic customer support team. No issues connecting, no disruptions to service, instant and efficient internet that can handle multiple devices with ease. Just switched back to Visible - a network that runs on Verizon’s towers for a minimum of $25/mo of unlimited 5G data. Now I have all of the 5G coverage of Verizon at under a third of the cost for base pricing, and halved at premium pricing. They also have just as much access to Verizon grade perks (GlobalPass for international travel, connected device discounts, 5GUW, etc). Their device promotions don’t appear to be as lucrative in value as Verizon - but in actuality, the cost you’ll end up spending in the long run is far more on a 3y Verizon contract.

    Porting to Visible is entirely online - and porting between any cellular service can be a nightmare without proper execution. So I would recommend calling your provider’s support team in advance for a step by step guide. Typically all you’ll need is a transfer pin, billing info, and account # for a port out - but the order of events can be a little delicate.

    Just go to T-Mobile internet for wireless internet, or AT&T fiber if you don’t mind paying the additional cost for high speeds. Visible for cellular - maybe even T-Mobile if there’s a particularly outstanding promotion, but any of the 3 major post-pay carriers will have deliberately deceptive pricing models and are typically only worth it in value for accounts with at least 3 lines of service. I’m less familiar with AT&T as a cellular network - but I’ve heard enough horror stories that I don’t recommend it. All in all: Run far and fast. Verizon is not your friend. Their perks are nothing special at best, worthless at worst. Their promotions are a tactic to hold you hostage as they bleed your wallet dry. Never going back.

    At Verizon call center a representative authorized somebody else to make movements to my account on October 28, 2025 at 2:28 pm. Verizon told me to write an email to: networksecurityincidentresponsemailbox@verizonwireless.com. They have never answered my emails or taken responsibility for what they did.

    The worst experience ever with a phone carrier. Their AI support is terrible — it doesn’t listen to you at all, just follows pre-set instructions and forces you through every unnecessary step before letting you talk to a real person. It’s not customer-friendly in any way. After more than 3 years with Verizon, I decided to switch to T-Mobile. For some reason, my phone got locked by Verizon, even though they confirmed I have no pending payments or issues. It’s been almost a week, and still no resolution. Absolutely disappointing. Verizon’s customer support has gone downhill — robotic, unhelpful, and frustrating from start to finish.

    I have a family plan with 6 phone lines and one internet line. Through the past 3 years they have constantly raised prices. They use tiny increments to fool you into thinking it's just a little bit but if you add it up over how much they raised it in a year - just a dollar here and a dollar there - it's a substantial amount. When I called to complain they offered me a monthly credit for 1 year... which they canceled after 2 months. This company will not back its word when it comes to pricing or contracts. They will change whatever they want, whenever they want. Don't trust them. I've now been trying to contact them for over a week to try and get the credit re-instated. It's such a huge time waste to deal with them.

    • Phone shocked me severely, caused me to drop my phone and screen cracking in July 2025 - VZ REFUSED to send replacement phone that was under Verizon’s warranty for the defective phone that was sent to me back in March 2025 until I replaced the screen on the phone going through Asurion, and then advised they would send me a new phone within the same month from VZ directly.

    NEW replacement phone was never received come end of July. Called VZ about it. They told me twice that it was coming from VZ, and twice I got sent to absolutely junk refurbished damaged phones by Asurion not VZ. I called VZ on it and the VZ rep that said they would document it in July to ensure it would happen, never did, VZ rep I talked too later said they would not send it and it had to come from Asurion, refused to listen to the phone recording, wouldn’t send me the phone calls transcript, and refused to send what was guaranteed/promised. Sent both junk phones back to Asurion.

    • Been with Verizon over 12 years, now this 10 Years. I personally checked 2 years ago.

    • Phone plans and services are way overpriced.

    • Customer Service is way beyond a Joke and as horrible as Xfinity.

    • Store reps customer service and available services are beyond a joke for even being called customer service. Most don’t even know or have received proper training to do their jobs. VZ has failed them.

    • Excessive unnecessary charges that are unidentifiable are being constantly billed. VZ plays “dumb”.

    • Have had consistent service issues where not getting calls or text from anyone and vice versa, WiFi will either stay working or is disconnected, etc. VZ says data usage is fine, when yes for apps on phone to use, but otherwise no not at all but don’t understand it what referring to. WiFi constantly disconnects, and safari doesn’t work or kicks out of sites multiple times throughout day. Get told need to reset network settings every time, get new EIDS or whatever they are called, etc. Never fixes the issues that quit trying to call them to fix it. Sent in multiple requests for in writing to be able to leave VZ penalty free and still not responses back. Will be leaving VZ as soon as have phones paid off.

    DO NOT EVER... EVER do business with Verizon. Especially at the location in Daly City, California. Not only does Verizon bait and switch, they are incompetent, dismissive and RUDE! In particular the manager named DESTINY! You may have seen her name mentioned in previous reviews and they are not exaggerated. This person should really be named DENSITY. She was rude and incompetent. As for her customer interaction, a dead fish would have a warmer personality. I don't know how Verizon tolerates much less keeps her there in a managerial position. But judging from my overall experience with them I.e. their online chat, over the phone call center agents and in person sales people, they really sell you the world and provide no follow up-- ABSOLUTELY NO FOLLOW UP to provide resolution for customer satisfaction.

    All I got was deflection and promises that the issue would be resolved... later. Not on the spot... LATER! How can they improve? If they want to improve, they should let AT&T buy them and let the AT&T teams handle everything. I cannot emphasize enough how anyone should not ever do business with them. Unless you are a masochist and enjoy being put on hold for an hour at a time and then constantly be told to " hold please." The other person you should avoid is Amir. There are two there but the one that should be especially avoided is "little" Amir. He serviced us and did not thoroughly process our contract. Now Destiny said it was not his fault. That means the fault lies with management for not approving the paperwork.

    So in conclusion, AVOID VERIZON LIKE THE PLAGUE!! They should have their licenses revoked and their business shuttered. And if there any lawyers who read this, they should consider a class action lawsuit against this business for disreputable business practices. PS: The positive is that the phone service is good (so far) and their wireless router works well (again, so far).

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

    RUN FROM THIS CELL PHONE PROVIDER!! I was a long-term Verizon customer. Never missed a payment and had my entire family on their service. I took advantage of paperless billing and automatic direct debit from my bank account. Since there are currently much less expensive mobile providers in the cell phone space, I decided to switch carriers. I was advised that upon porting my numbers to the new carrier, my account would be closed and no further debits would be made to my bank account. However, the debits continued after I closed my account. I attempted to review my billing records via the My Verizon app and learned that I was locked out of my account. I attempted to call and discovered that their phone system no longer recognized my telephone number.

    After raising Demons from the Pit of Hell with them, to their credit, they made things right. But, the lesson is that they have no problem throwing the proverbial middle finger to good customers who cancel their service by locking up electronic records and impeding access to customer service. My recommendation is to find a different provider and if you can't DO NOT AGREE TO PAPERLESS BILING OR AUTOMATIC DEBIT PAYMENTS! Subscriber Beware!

    I recently upgraded my phone. I called for help with set up and at the end of that call the tech told me I qualified for an Apple watch due to my recent upgrade and that he could get me one for free. I ended up paying $20 for it I believe for tax reasons. I believed it was just the watch and it would not be something I had to pay anything further for. I received my invoice and I was getting charged for "sharing" a line and the watch had a new number. I immediately called to complain and asked to return the watch and get refunded.

    This began on Oct 13th and I am still dealing with it today 11/7. Here is what has occurred to date. I was told I could return the watch to ANY Verizon store. 10/14 I was out of town but drove over 30 minutes to get to the nearest store. The store told me they could not help me. So on the drive back I called and was told the Verizon would be sending me a return kit for the watch. I never received return kit so I contacted Verizon again on 10/23, figuring that was plenty of time to ship. I was then told a new kit would ship and I received a text this time stating that I would receive it by 10/31.

    10/31 arrived and no kit. I had to reach out again began texting at about 4:15 pm. Mind you you have to text every 5 minutes or you will be disconnected. I was again told that I could bring the watch to any store to return it and was give 4 stores near me. 2 were labeled as Indirect stores and 2 were Direct stores. I specifically asked what the difference was assuming I would need to go to a "Direct Store". It was explained that direct store is operated by Verizon but both operate under Verizon terms so I could visit "ANY" of them. This all took about 4 hours of my time.

    Next day I stopped at one of the stores I was told I could go to and yet again they told me they could not help me. This was an indirect store, so I took my chances and went to a "direct" store next. The person was helpful but I was not allowed to return the watch to them. They called customer service and relayed to me that a return kit would be sent to me. He followed up with me Tuesday morning and confirmed by giving me a UPS tracking number, actually gave me two #'s. I tracked them and they show Label created 11/3.

    11/6 I went to UPS store and they told me there was nothing they could do with tracking number. They would need a QR code in order to print the label. I was not given a QR code. 11/7 I followed up to find out when I could expect a return kit. Again the agent could not tell me what happened to the previous ones but that they would be the one that could take care of me and send me a return kit. The agent put it in a text (which I have had before) and sent an email. I was told I would be receiving it within 4 business days So now I have to wait again with fingers crossed that I will actually receive the return kit this time.

    This whole experience has been absolutely ridiculous. I was not told from the beginning that the watch required me to add line charges to monthly bill. Trying to return it has just been a nightmare and I have put way too much time into trying to do that. I don't mean to put the agents down. All of them have tried to be cordial and helpful but they just don't have the correct information at their disposal. How can I be told twice to return it to any store when that is not true. I guess I could blame them for not actually sending the kit but I don't know what they are up against when trying to do that for me.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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 switched to another carrier (for half the price Verizon was charging me on our 2 mobile phones) on October 9th, 2025.

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!

Long hold times, endless transfers, and when it finally arrived, the new box had the same red light issue.

    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.

    My fix monthly bill keeps increasing every month, Verizon employees gives different answers that does not make sense, they quote different monthly bill prices, outrageous lies, eg my phone is -$86.00 and Tablet is -$30.00 that's total-$126.00 per month, Verizon employees gaslighting says no it’s-$150.00, and every month they add on -$4-5 dollars as surcharge, and the employees have more lies and can’t explain why the surcharge.

    Data is extremely slow, although I am paying for Unlimited Plus, Verizon employees will not fix the issue, instead they do a hard aggressive sale to get you to upgrade your devices, and buy their Internet services. Extremely dishonest employees and company, it seems there is a commission for the employees if they sell devices, upgrade Wireless plans and Internet to anyone that calls. Really bad company.

    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 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.

    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.

Dealing with an ** gentleman that I could hardly understand, he said my old plan was no longer available, but the new plan had better quality. For an increase of 27%. Note that I hadn’t had any issues with voice quality or dropped calls anyway. After threatening to switch carriers, they offered some temporary discounts and after haggling for 20 minutes, he agreed to give me my old price. This is the same bs that cable companies do, but I didn’t expect it from Verizon after 20+ years of being a loyal customer. Guess what Verizon, I’m switching anyway. What a money grab!

    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. As soon as I get paid off what I have with them, I am transferring my phone service to a better company that is more reliable.

    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.

I called in for what is now the sixth time, spent more hours on the phone, and was told I needed to reorder and pay again—bringing my total payments to $270 for a phone I have yet to receive.

No company even comes close to the level of mistakes and issues that Verizon has caused me over the last two years. Since the FIRST DAY walking into a Verizon store it has been a nightmare. 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. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PROMOTIONS - NOT WORTH IT. Go with AT&T, T-Mobile, Boost, Mint, or a land line before Verizon. I would not wish this experience on my worst enemy.

My service still come on then I went back up there they say I had to wait until 24 hours to activate my service. Still didn’t come on.

    Verizon is the absolute worst SCAM company there is!!!! First of all their full home internet WILL NOT reach your entire home off of one modem, it does not have the range!!! I have a 1500sqft home and I am very disappointed. The modem they send you has a 20ft circular radius at the least And when you ask them for extenders, they will send you one but for an extra fee monthly for renting that extension, full home internet guarantee right??? Noooopeeee!!! I had to buy WI-FI extensions off of Amazon for my home cause it was cheaper.

    Another thing!!! THIS IS HUGE, When I first got Verizon, they had a promo that I never received and continue to not receive as of 10/03/25 it was “$400 off any Samsung product from Best Buy”. MY FIRST CLAIM WAS IN AUGUST, I put in multiple complaints after that to the sales and service department, I EVEN TALKED TO A SUPERVISOR!!!! I TALKED TO A SUPERVISOR'S SUPERVISOR AND GOT NOTHING!!!!

    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. I have been a loyal business customer for many years, and I am extremely disappointed in the way I was treated. I look forward to your prompt response.

    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.

    I called Verizon on a Friday evening after dealing with a battery issue for quite a while, I completed a replacement order. (So I thought) I was advised the replacement fee was waived and given an order number. I waited until Monday to follow up as I knew it was a weekend. I was told the order didn’t go through and I needed to leave find my off. I turned it off and expected my delivery Tuesday. Then reached back out Tuesday as I had yet to receive any email communication from the start. I was then advised the order needed to be cancelled. I’m beyond frustrated as the additional insurance won’t cover the device as it is a warranty issue and Verizon won’t complete the warranty claim.

At the minimum, they could give an option to call you at THEIR convenience, like any other company who cares about their customers would do. After our son died, my husband wanted to keep his iPhone and switch his service over to it. I had no idea how to do this, so I called, went to the Verizon service and called. Everyone sends me to someone else or simply doesn't answer the phone. Do they have any idea how painful this is? I doubt it, and I don't think they would care if they did.

    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.

    I had been with Verizon for 18 years. Clearly paying a much higher price than if I had gone with other services. What finally motivated me to make a change is when they added 45$ to my monthly bill. 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 challenging him to even try, he got it open then solved the issue. But no apology, nothing.

    And after 20+ years of loyalty, this is extremely disappointing and frustrating. They should say how long you want the international call put on for, then have it scheduled to come off, not make you call back! Verizon, shape up!! You're going to start losing customers!

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. For such a large carrier, it’s shocking how little integrity and accountability there seems to be. I would strongly warn anyone considering Verizon: be extremely cautious, especially if the store doesn’t make it crystal clear that it is not a corporate Verizon location.
