    Wow, I just don't have enough bad words to say especially ones which are not vulgar. I am currently in a 7 HOUR chat trying to resolve a billing issue which I had already spent 2 hours on 2 separate calls regarding the same issue. Using the chat service for anything is a trial of patience. It bumps you about every hour and you have to restart the whole process with a new representative. Oh, and it takes several minutes for them to review your information. Don't they have technology to keep all my records in a similar location for quick easy review? Guess not since every agent takes "2-3 minutes" to review your previous conversation.

    This company has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Not only do they not properly log information, they are also trying to upsell you on some other feature or add-on which they can charge you for. I thought other companies were bad to deal with, but these are the least effective customer service representatives I have ever encountered. Does not leave much hope for the rest of the company now does it. When the customer doesn't matter to a business, who does?

    This the worst company to deal with. After 17 years of being a customer I am going with T mobile. After the latest update was installed on my new Pixel 9 my voicemails were delayed by up to a week and would download as an attachment which could load. I spent hours talking to tech who blatantly lied saying it was a global issue, only to find out it was not. I spoke with Eric, a supervisor, who offered to send me a new phone because now I'm being told it's the phone not the service, however, after transferring all my info into the new phone I could not activate it without yet another call to customer service. Called again insisted on speaking to a supervisor only to wait all day for a call back from just another tech. As of today I have given this 11 tries and even went to my local Verizon store and was told I had to call tech support no one there could help. I'm done!

    Verizon used to be the king of the mall. They had the most towers and the most reliable service. I’ve been a huge fanboy and a customer with them for 15 years and then late 2024 something huge changed and the reliability and coverage dropped like a stone in the ocean. I don’t know what happened, but I don’t get reception anywhere on my Verizon phone, my Verizon Wi-Fi is garbage, And the connection is spotty all over the United States. They must’ve changed or sold their towers or something because the service is absolutely abysmal.

    Verizon is unethical and horrible service has gotten worse, year after year, and after 30 years, they increased my bill by 30% even though I had a locked contract, and then when I tried to leave verizon, they locked my account and numbers preventing me from taking them.

    Do not go through Verizon, we canceled everything on August 14th of 2023. Twice we went into the building and twice we were told everything had been canceled. They lied. Everything was not canceled. They finally canceled us completely out on November 6th of 2023 and and the two things that they didn't close out added up to $100.44 and they're charging me $159.14. When I asked why they said it was tax and when you asked to speak to a supervisor they give you the recovery unit to try to collect money. They will not put a supervisor on. They will not answer questions. They not a good company. Several times I was on the phone trying to resolve an issue and every time I was on the phone I was on the phone for more than an hour and a half and they keep putting you to different people and they will not answer questions. It's just like a game.

    Verizon Wireless is trying to pull a fast one on me! It all started on May 8, 2025, when I ordered two iPhones. They arrived at my doorstep the very next day, but by May 10, I had already sent them back. I took the phones to a corporate store, got a receipt, and paid a $100 restocking fee. Fast forward to the following month, and I receive a bill along with a phone call from Verizon Wireless. I explained to them that I returned the phones and wasn’t using their service. They assured me that they would take care of the cancellation. Cool, I thought!

    But then, weeks passed, and I kept receiving email after email about my account. Confused, I reached out again. “I spoke to someone a couple of weeks ago who said my service would be canceled! Why am I still getting billed?” They replied that this was just the bill for the next month. What?! I’m still baffled. I reiterated that I needed my service canceled and wanted those charges waived since I never even used their service! They claimed they would waive the $100 fee, but then I’d need to call back by July 5 to sort out the next bill. Honestly, I don’t understand why I’m being charged for a service I didn’t use. It's like they’re trying to scam me and mess up my credit! This whole situation feels so sneaky, and I can confidently say I will never deal with Verizon Wireless again!

    If you’re thinking about switching to Verizon—don’t. Verizon has been a complete nightmare. My bill was never consistent and always ended up higher than expected, with no clear explanation. I signed up for a promotional iPad at $10/month, but was constantly charged more. The signal was awful—at one point, no one in my entire department at work who had Verizon could get service. My WiFi box at home barely worked, and trying to get support was useless. The worst part? I’ve been fighting for months to cancel my account. I’ve gone into stores multiple times and spoken with numerous representatives who all told me my account was canceled. Yet I keep getting auto-charged monthly, and now I can’t even log in to see what these new charges are for—because my account is supposedly closed! Save yourself the headache. Stay far away from Verizon.

    When I opted for the home wireless gateway, I had to pay $400 USD up front since I am Canadian and don't have a US credit history. No big deal, I'll be refunded at the end of my stay in Florida (9 April 2025). I had been assured by the Verizon finance department that the funds would be transferred directly to my credit card, I verified and confirmed this information several times. The gateway was mailed back to them 9 April 2025 but what I didn't know is that it's another company hired by them, Northlane/Onbe which processes their refunds, they are unaware of the conversations I had with Verizon. On May 19 2025 I receive an email mentioning a refund is on the way, they send a prepaid Mastercard at my Florida address, while I'm in Canada. After weeks and weeks or arguing with them, they finally send me a cheque through Purolator which I cash on 9 June 2025.

    Today (8 July) the bank called me to say that they have put a stop on the cheque, the cheque they sent me had a stop on it and now I'm more than $600 CAD out of my money again, and have to go through the same process of arguing with them, trying desperately to get my funds back. The supervisors are incompetent, the process is slower than molasses, seems like I won't get another cheque before August. This is a disaster, and Verizon doesn't take ownership of this problem, they say it Northlane/Onbe who is in charge of refunds. At the end of the day the buck stops with Verizon, I will never deal with this company again. Months of frustration.

    Verizon was great for 10 years then they want to start taking away discounts that I've had almost my entire time as a customer and raised their prices then when you go to switch they're going to make it extremely difficult. I switched to Spectrum to save half of my bill, by the way the service is just as good I have noticed zero difference, to switch I had to pay off my phone then I was going to get reimbursed by Spectrum once I show my statements from the last 3 months and proof of paying off the device. Well, Verizon is going to lock you out of your account and not give you access to any of that information. Also, I was charged for a full month when I was switching at the beginning of my next billing cycle. Oh and how convenient their policy is, they can't end service in the middle of a billing cycle, you have to pay for the entire month. I wonder who made that policy??

    We all know Verizon's been expensive but you get what you pay for but they've come a long way since that. They're trying to do grasp and hold on to what customers they still have at the expense of the customers they still have. I would not recommend to anyone and I encourage anyone that I know to quit overpaying for mobile service because you're not getting a superior product here.

    Bait and switch. They offer all sorts of discounts but don't apply until after 30 days. Then after 30 days they don't apply them. You Then call and spend several hours on the phone for more fall promises just to in turn get hung up on, transferred or promised a call back that never comes. All after they pushed you past the return period. They have the absolute worst customer service. You can't believe one single person over the phone. So you go into the store for help just for them to tell you that you need to call customer service. The store says they are only sales and don't handle service. I canceled service and will deal with it thru collections.

    I’ve been a loyal Verizon customer for years, but my recent experience has been beyond frustrating. In April, I went on a cruise and purchased the cruise Wi-Fi package. While in airplane mode, I received a Verizon text asking if I wanted to activate their cruise package for $22/day. I chose not to respond since I already had a cruise package through the ship. Later, I answered one phone call and was shocked to be charged nearly $80 (at $2.99/minute) because I hadn’t replied “Y” to that message — a detail buried in fine print. At the ports, we were charged $12/day per phone line — 6 charges total over 3 days — yet the service only worked properly at one of those ports. The rest of the time, texts wouldn’t go through, calls failed, and messages were delayed by hours. Still, I was charged full price for service that was nearly unusable.

    I called Verizon when I got home and explained everything. The rep agreed the port charges should be reviewed, said the credit team would follow up, and told me to pay my normal amount and wait. I did. Fast forward to June — still no email or credit — and my phone gets disconnected. I paid the full $167 in added charges and called again. That rep apologized, said the previous rep failed to document anything, and promised to credit back the full $167 plus reverse the $80 in reconnect fees ($20 x 4 lines). She even asked if I wanted the credit refunded to my card or left on my account — I said leave it on the account. Nothing ever happened. Come July, I get another disconnect warning.

    After a 48-minute call, the rep says again, “there are no notes,” and they have to try and track down the previous rep. When I asked for a supervisor or for them to pull the call recording, I was hung up on. I called again. After another hour, the next agent said they couldn’t verify anything now because the records were “too old” — even though I called about the issue immediately after the trip. I told them to forget the $72 in port fees and just credit the $80 reconnect fees. They finally offered only a $40 “courtesy credit.” Verizon refuses to take accountability for their poor service, employee miscommunication, and broken promises. This has been the most frustrating customer service experience I’ve ever had. Once our phones are paid off and our promo credit ends, we are switching carriers. If we weren’t tied in, we’d leave today.

    On June 26, 2025 my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra 512 GB powered off with a full charge. The technician said it was a manufacturer defect and if it restarted we would need a new phone. This is the second time it's happened. It restarted the next day, still with a full charge. He put in a warranty replacement with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 512 GB and said it would arrive at our hotel within 24 hrs (we were on vacation). It did not arrive in 24 hrs. We called 48 hrs later, spoke to three reps and were told it would arrive well after our checkout date and we needed to cancel the order (which we did). We called back the following Wednesday to refill the replacement and we were on the phone for 2 hrs with zero progress. The next day we spent 4 hrs on the phone with zero progress.

    On July 4, 2025 we spent 7 hrs on the phone with Verizon. They continued shifting us to different agents and hanging up the phone. Feeling our frustration the agent at 1 pm offered to send us a brand new S25 Ultra 512 GB in black. This was confirmed by the next 2 agents he sent us to. At 730 pm, we were told we would have an order number the following day. The following day we spent 4 more hours on the phone. The reps saw that we were told we would receive a brand new S25 Galaxy Ultra 512 GB in black but they were not going to send it because the other representatives all lied to us and misled us. This is the definition of a deceitful business practice. The agents made a promise and I accepted. Verizon needs to fulfill their end of the agreement and ship what they told me they would by multiple agents.

    I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for more than 27 years. I've stayed with them because the service is better than all others I've tried, but I am routinely frustrated with inconsistent billing for fixed services and generally poor technical support. They can fix minor phone restart or router restart issues, but fail at real network troubleshooting. If I could use local only cell service I would switch immediately, but I need nationwide and European service and VZW is decent for that. Bottom line they're just above poor quality.

    I am extremely dissatisfied with Verizon Business due to unauthorized charges and poor customer service. I was charged for two phone lines that I never used and had already canceled. These lines were on autopay, and when I noticed the charges, I immediately called Verizon. They assured me that the issue would be fixed and the charges removed, but nothing was ever done.

    After porting my numbers out of Verizon, I received a bill. I paid my portion, but I was still waiting on clarification for the remaining balance. Verizon told me they would follow up, but they never did. Instead, I was forwarded to collections. Despite explaining the situation, I was told I owed over $1,300, which I had to pay to protect my credit. As a loyal customer, this situation is unacceptable. I was charged for two unused lines for two years, which feels like fraud. I expect a full refund for these charges and a review of my account. If this is not resolved, I will be taking legal action and filing a complaint with the FCC. This should not happen to any other customer.

    Disappointed Customer After 20+ Years of Loyalty**. I have been a Verizon customer for over 20 years and have never had any issues—until this year. Unfortunately, my recent experience has been extremely disappointing and frustrating. It all started when I pre-ordered the Samsung S25 Ultra, which was supposed to come with a $1,000 trade-in credit. I placed the order, received a QR code to return my old phone, and anticipated a smooth process. However, just four days after receiving my new phone, I was shocked to find a message indicating I had already turned in the old device. Of course, that’s impossible since I still had the phone in my possession.

    To resolve this, I visited a Verizon store in person. Unfortunately, they couldn’t help much, telling me to keep the phone until I could get the correct QR code and that I needed to contact Verizon by phone. For the next four months, I worked tirelessly with customer service to get the issue sorted out, finally obtaining the correct code to return my old phone.

    But then, a new problem arose: Verizon no longer honored the original pre-order discount. Instead, they offered me only $161 for my trade-in, claiming that they couldn’t apply the original discount because the old phone was not received within 45 days. I explained that this delay was due to Verizon’s own logistics, but they told me there was nothing they could do.

    As a result, I was billed an additional $616, bringing the total cost of the phone to around $1,100—far from the $300 I initially expected. Had I known this, I would have bought directly from Samsung, as I did with another phone, to avoid this nightmare. Adding insult to injury, Verizon is now removing my $25 monthly discount because I paid the $616 bill with a credit card. I don’t have $600 just lying around for a phone, and this feels like a punitive move rather than a customer-focused solution.

    After more than two decades, I am deeply disappointed in how Verizon has handled my case. Their customer service seems to have shifted away from being helpful and supportive to being money-driven. At this point, I am seriously considering switching providers—something I never thought I’d say. It’s sad to see a company that once prioritized its customers become so focused on profits. I hope Verizon re-evaluates its approach because they’re losing loyal customers like me.

    If you want to have stressful customer service because they are not intelligent, then use Verizon. I ordered a phone on April 1st with an estimated arrival April 8th, 2025. The UPS driver left a sticky with address to pick it up at an Access Point. I went to the Access Point the next day with the person there saying it was never dropped off. When I called UPS, they said only Verizon can put in a claim that it has been lost. I called Verizon several times over the month, with what I thought was a resolution on May 2nd, 2025. They said they would cancel the order, and would make it right. Well, today, June 24th, 2025, I receive a notification from My Verizon that the phone ordered on April 1st has been delivered. So now, I have to go to a Verizon store to let them know once again that I never received this phone.

    I certainly don't want to pay for a $1200 phone because customer service failed to do what I asked them to do which was to cancel the order, put in a claim with UPS so that this would not happen. On top of that they kept doing a charge on the phone which I had to get it refunded back on my bill which also increased. So if you like to have your mental health intact, please do not go with Verizon. This is one and only time, but as you can see, they do not care about your stress that you have to waste your time (and I'm talking wasting about 20 cumulative hours - because trying to communicate with them is like talking to a brick wall). Oh and you should put them on speaker and record the conversation so that they won't say this never happened. At least I have the customer service saying to me that they put in the ticket for the overcharge for the phone that never got to me. So there's proof there.

    A couple of months ago, I was assisting my mom with opening her first cell phone account. She has difficulty speaking on the phone, so I don't for her. I'm also POA and DPOA. We spent over an hour on the phone, I kept handing off the phone for her to give consent to open the account. Eventually, I had to leave, but I had told them I had both POA and DPOA, plus they had her agreeing 3 times and signing prior and also being there while I talked to them. For "whatever reason" the phone wasn't activating. The fourth time, I signed for them.

    A few days later, the phone still hadn't activated, so I called back. I was informed they couldn't help me at all because the account wasn't in either mine or my Mom's name, and then they flagged the account for fraud. As it turns out, THEY tried to activate the phone using someone else's number, but they flagged me for fraud. So I figured okay, the phone isn't active, it's not in our name, no big deal. A month later, we get a bill for a full month of service.

    Absolutely disgusting, unethical behavior. I would have been more than happy to provide the paperwork they needed to prove they were able to talk to me, but to create such an issue, and then the best they did was "we'll take off the payment for x amount". Which wasn't even half the amount they billed for. Later, I tried to switch my phone to a prepaid plan and once again, it wouldn't activate. So I called them and told them to cancel my account. They claimed there was "nothing they could do because an account didn't exist". This company will do anything to charge you money.

    Holy cow, I’ve been waiting for some time here at the Verizon corporate store in Ocala and they have a couple of people just walking around. The service at the AT&T corporate store is night and day compared to these jokers. I’m so happy I switched, not only for the savings but everything else included. I asked Mike for help since he was just walking around telling people how long their wait is and he said, ”I only delegate“. So I got angry and said thanks for getting his steps in and he got offended that someone called him on his lack of customer service and asked us to leave after waiting 30 minutes.

    DO NOT BUY A PHONE FROM THIS VERIZON STORE!!! (Coburg Rd, Eugene Oregon) I originally reviewed this store positively, 2 years ago. I commended them on their customer service. Then came the end of 2024 and I needed a new phone. I originally went to Best Buy to buy a cheap unlocked phone. However this time the phone wouldn't connect to the network so I had to return it. I then thought it would be easier to just go to Verizon and get the cheapest phone they had. HUGE MISTAKE. I was greeted at the door by a young man. I asked him what the cheapest phone they had. He told me they had a promotion to get a FREE Google Pixel 9. I was ecstatic as you can't beat free!

    We went through the process and as I was walking out the door, the associate said to me, "if you get charged for the 1st month, don't worry about it. It will be corrected." I should've seen that as a giant red flag, but unfortunately I didn't. But I certainly would come to. It turns out the phone in the end is going to cost me $1,000. A phone I never wanted. I have always been notoriously cheap when it comes to getting a new phone. I never need the newest or best phone on the market. Again, I usually get the cheapest Motorola phone Best Buy has.

    Two months after I noticed I was getting charged, I called Verizon directly. When I say directly I mean you're going to be on the phone with someone in India that will have a heavy accent that you can't understand. I wrote out emails to Verizon every month for quite some time. I sat on the phone for hours out of my day every month until I finally just gave up. I was able to get monthly reprieves after the phone calls. But the problem was never fixed. I wasn't willing to call every single month and sit on the phone repeatedly describing my problem. I was transferred to 6 different agents in a sitting. All needing the same information I had previously told the agent before them. All of this stemming from this Verizon store!

    Consequently, I had to cancel my Jetpack service to my home to afford to pay for the phone I was never supposed to be charged for. I cancelled my auto pay as I could no longer trust Verizon. I'm just another number to this company. Forgotten and mistreated all the way from this store, to their corporate entity. I'm not just some person that flip flops to different cell phone companies.

    If someone was to look at my history with Verizon, they would figure out that I am (and this isn't exaggerating) maybe the longest Verizon customer in the company's history. I received my 1st phone in 1999. Verizon wasn't even an entity yet. Then they bought out the local cell phone provider in my area. Making me a Verizon customer. I have paid my bills on time for over 25 years now. I am the definition of a loyal customer.

    This entire experience has changed that. The second I'm done paying for this phone I was never supposed to be charged for, I am switching companies. After being charged the unfounded $40 every month I get the smallest enjoyment knowing my time with Verizon is soon ending. How shortsighted. I probably would've continued as a Verizon customer for another 25 years. Ripped off for a $1,000 phone while losing out on another 25 years of payments.

    I normally don’t write reviews, but this experience with Verizon’s customer service was incredibly frustrating. I absolutely dread calling their support line because the call centers are outsourced to the Philippines. The representatives often just read from a script and don’t fully understand the nuances of how things work here in the U.S. due to different systems and cultural context.

    I spent nearly two hours on the phone, getting transferred to five different agents, just to request a return label for my son’s old phone. He recently upgraded, and although he lives 1.5 hours away by plane and has his own address, Verizon insisted the label be sent to me since I’m the primary account holder. I asked that the label be sent directly to my son. The first four reps said it wasn’t possible. Finally, the fifth agent said he was able to process it and that my son would receive the label within three days. It’s now been six days, and still nothing has arrived. Verizon’s customer service is absolutely unacceptable. They’ve made zero improvements over the years, and I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of efficiency, training, and support.

    Verizon Wireless devastated my family. On May 25, 2025, I was told by multiple Verizon agents that my account was in good standing and to disregard a disconnection warning I received. I was paid in full, on autopay, and had no missed payments. I believed them. On May 26, Verizon terminated all of my lines—without warning. That included the line of my 75-year-old father, a retired public school special education teacher, who had just ported his number over from Optimum six days prior. That number was tied to all of his doctors and medical contacts. He had just undergone knee replacement surgery. He now had no phone, no way to call 911, no way to reach me or any of our family.

    My parents are not tech-savvy. They don’t have backup phones or spare money. My father has high blood pressure and diabetes. Verizon left him completely cut off. And when I tried to fix it? They refused to release our numbers. They refused to provide a transfer PIN. This directly violates FCC law (47 CFR § 52.35). One rep even told me I might be blocked from calling if I kept asking for help.

    I spent over 20 hours on the phone with Verizon. I visited stores. I messaged them on every platform. They told me they couldn’t access my records, my chats, or help me. I had to open a brand-new plan with T-Mobile just so I could start calling for help again. My parents and I were forced to accept random new numbers. Our identities and medical links were severed.

    Verizon even sent me a $5,898.13 bill after they terminated my service. I was billed for phones and service they made unusable. This is not just customer service failure—it’s elder abuse, deception, and total corporate negligence. I have documentation, screenshots, and evidence.

We called customer support and they told us they would send us the link to connect them. We never go one of them but it did take a couple of days to get one of them finally.

    We never did get the other code until we were taking the phones back to turn them in. When we were done with we went home to see just how they were going to work. So many things would not work on the new phones and we tried to get help by going back to the Verizon store and had to wait for around an hour to see someone. He went through the new phones and had to change some settings or something on them. We took them home again and started to try and use some of the things that we had on our old phones. It just didn't work at all or very well as we expected them to work. We found a lot of things that would not work and after trying for hours to get them to work we decided to return them back to the Verizon store. This time we decided we wanted our old phone to be activated. Then they charged us a restocking fee of $50 but after I complained they give us a $35 refund.

    I still don't actually know what I paid and how much I got returned. So here we go again having to wait for quite some time to get the help we needed. This sales person started re activating the old phones. but when he did that he removed a chip that was in our old phones. I kind of quested why was he removing that chip since it was in the phones when we bought them a few years ago. His answer was so we could not have a second phone number on that phone. I thought that was a little odd as it has been in those phone since we have had them. So why does it have to be removed? According to the sales person it was so we could not have a second number on our old phones.

    While we were at the store the first time we found out that none of the new iPhones include the charging cables or the charging adapter. It's only something like $30/$35 or more for that and then more $ for the cables. I can see in the future that I may never purchase another iPhone or at least from Verizon. Now we get home to try out the old phones and found a lot of the apps we have on the phone will not work, like connection to the iWatch wallet. And there were a couple of others that do not seem to be working correctly. This has to be one of or the worst encounters I have had in years. I also wanted to say the receipts are the hardest to understand.

    I recently had some issues with my phone service and called customer service only to spend several hours with the Verizon assistant before getting to an actual rep. The first one told me that my phone wasn't working properly because my plan was now obsolete. He tried setting me up with another plan that was more than double of what I was paying. After several minutes he finally told me he had another plan that was the same price as my old plan, so he switched the plan. The next day, I had no data service. Another few hours on the phone and the next person told me it was my SIM card. The next person told me it was a faulty tower. They switched towers and sent me a SIM card.

    A few days later I get a charge for double my plan. Several more hours on the phone. During the call I was told that my plan had changed again. Double plus another $10. I told the rep that I wanted the name of the person or agent that was making these charges and she refused to give it to me. After a while she told me she could put me back in my old plan that didn't work. And I thought that plan was obsolete. I think it is time to change providers. Their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced.

    5-30-25. Zero Verizon service bars in much of City of Kuna, Idaho. Most don't realize that Verizon & AT&T has a monopoly on 'monitored' Home & Business Security Subscription services nationwide. Three years ago Verizon installed a signal booster in our home to provide minimal service & a few months ago the signal booster 'Verizon installed' quit working. Loss of Verizon's signal not only disabled our home security system it also removed my wife's ability to control her Cochlear Hearing Implant that relies on her Iphone signal. I've spent many days & hours on the phone with Verizon's Customer service Christina to correct this 10 year long community problem & was told that Verizon no longer makes service repair calls, that leaves customers to serve as Verizon's unpaid & unskilled repair techs.

    Last week in a shared call with Christina at Verizon customer service, myself & Sparklight customer service, Verizon requested Sparklight to install a new modem to possibly fix Verizon's problem. Note; Sparlights previous modem worked well & the new modem Sparklight installed did nothing to fix Verizon's lack of signal problems. SOLUTION; Verizon has acknowledged that there are plenty of cell towers located nearby. Problem can be resolved if Verizon cared enough to make an antenna correction so thousands of customer like myself receive the service they are paying for.

Then the woman at customer service at Verizon said it's the store that decides if they want to charge us $50 per phone to activate the phones. They refused to activate the phones unless we agreed to a $50 activation fee per phone. That's after they said they waived the activation fee then I just got a $350 phone bill from Verizon for 2 phones. They refuse to activate unless we pay a $50 activation fee per phone.

    The way Verizon runs the company in general is ridiculous due to the way the customer base is treated!! I have recently switched carriers and it is absolutely horrible for existing and for customers that switched to other carriers!!! I hated the experiences I had while I was a customer. Could not get away fast enough. They really do not care about their existing customers raising prices and always trying to get away from proper customer support. I would give an example but there are way too many.

    But when I swapped oh my goodness all I needed was the last copy of my bill. It’s been the worst situation I have ever been through with a phone carrier. I am not surprised they are losing business. I needed the bill in order to have my new carrier pay off my old phone which was part of the deal when I swapped because there is no way Verizon would’ve gave me a new phone!! Not to a loyal existing customer. They don’t do that! Only deals for those to get you over there so they can screw you over. After it was like pulling teeth to contact anyone in Verizon to get a copy of my bill to get reimbursed for my new carrier. It’s almost like they were trying to punish me by keeping me away from it Because I’m relentless. I was able to get it but I hate Verizon and I will never ever go back. I always lost $500 due to the way that they run their business. Today was the last day.

    So lucky to finally get someone to help by walking into a Verizon store and complaining to everybody there how I’m losing $500 because of them And luckily one of their employees helped me Verizon. I will never be back as a customer and I hope everyone else out there stays away from you as well. Do the way you treat existing customers and how poorly you treat customers that swap you forget that we usually swap every two years, why would you screw us when we leave knowing that the sour taste that you put into our mouth? Makes us never want to come back? What poor business practice?

    You don’t deserve to have a company? You do not deserve to have customers because all you do is abuse them now. I’m going to charge your remaining bill because I am a sick veteran with cancer and because of all of this undue stress I have become sicker. How dare you treat a veteran as such especially when with cancer and 100% disability, please veterans and all stay away from this company. Please I urge you all. Ensure that you print off a copy of your bill showing that if you ever plan to swap they will do everything they can to stop you so you still get charged. Awful to treat the public as such.

    This is the worst experience I have ever had in my entire life. Attention! Future Verizon customer. Do not make the mistake of opening an account with Verizon. Check out other companies that might treat and respect you better. I have been a Verizon customer for 10 years and what happened yesterday was a total nightmare. I will definitely be replacing my phones and will never return to this company in the future. I arrived around 7:50 p.m. to a Verizon store that is near my house because Verizon customer service on the phone was unable to help me resolve the issue I was having with my phone.

    As soon as I walked in the door, the employee who was in this store at the time told me in Spanish, "Sorry, we are closed!" He had two women sitting with him in the store who were not customers. He seemed like family. I explained my situation and his response was, "We only sell, we don't take care of Verizon issues." I said, "Where do you have a sign here that says it's a sales-only store?" He then walked me through the door and showed me a small sign they have there. He told me if I wasn't satisfied with the service and wanted to close my account, this wasn't the place. I responded in English, "That's not what I'm explaining to you, sir."

    I came for help with my account because I'd been to this store before and had been treated well. He told me I needed to go to another one and slammed the door in my face. He was rude, impolite, and I was shocked that he would treat a customer this way. I'm a nurse, and I'd like to know how you would feel if you arrived at the hospital and received the same treatment I did. It's totally unacceptable. Now I know this store is a Verizon franchise. Now I know I won't stay with Verizon. I never write reviews on Google, but I think other people should know about my experience. I live in the Golden Gate State, and the service is poor. I will tell my friends and family about my experience, and if you're reading this, don't make the mistake of using this company or sellers who use Verizon advertising, because this is what you'll get from them.

    Verizon conducted an update on 5/6/2025, at 8:08 pm, which totally messed up my cell phone. Not sure if it was a Samsung or Verizon Update, but all one in the same. On 5/8/2025, I tried to text someone and noticed that I didn’t have a “$” sign option on the screen. It was a weird equal sign with a lightening bolt through it. I called Tech Coach from my phone and spoke to (Ronel ID# **) who had no idea what he was doing. He said he would just order me a replacement phone (ORDER# **) to be delivered to my home the next day.

    Tech Coach Ronel DEACTIVATED my phone immediately after this conversation! I never told him to do this and he said call back when I get the replacement so information could be transferred from one phone to the other. Nothing about that conversation mentions DEACTIVATION! To complicate matters, now I cannot even use the phone in an emergency. This issue happened at work which I need my phone to conduct business. I called Tech Coach #2, explained the problem and that I couldn’t be put on HOLD as I was at work. I was still left on HOLD. It took 2 hours, trying to get my phone verified and activated which efforts failed. Tech Coach #2 explained that he did as much as he could do and referred me to his supervisor, Eddie (Tech Lead). After waiting for 30 minutes, Eddie informed me to go to a corporate store for help in getting my phone REACTIVATED.

    This entire experience has been an inconvenience, due to the fact that, Tech Coach #1, took it upon himself to DEACTIVATE my phone without telling me and without me receiving a replacement. Why he would be so irresponsible is beyond me. His actions were reckless, incompetent, and thoughtless. What was I supposed to do from 1:00pm to the next day when the replacement was to arrive, (5/9/2025 at 8:00 pm)?

    I am writing this complaint to inform management of individuals working on the Tech Coach Team who lack the skill set to assist customers. Technical retraining along with prompt customer service is definitely needed and it needs to start with that Tech Coach named, Ronel! He caused irretrievable circumstances as an emergency, in fact, did occur and I couldn’t use my phone to immediately call EMS. All inconveniences could have been avoided if he had not prematurely DEACTIVATED my phone. I am calling for him to be retrained, relocated off the Tech Coach Team or FIRED since he is of no use to customers.

    I am a long time Verizon Wireless customer and this recent matter casts a dim light on moving forward as a customer. There have always been issues with pushing out updates whether performed by Verizon or Samsung. There is no synchronicity between the two networks/companies. I can no longer take the inconsistencies and poor quality experienced in recent years. I will be taking my business elsewhere, to a company that values their customers and provides employees with the knowledge to troubleshoot technical problems without inconveniencing the customer.

I paid that bill and was assured I was now fully disconnected (they said they don't give confirmation numbers for that). Today I got another bill for that same leftover line and called and was told there was no record of my previous disconnection. "Ma'am," the person said, "you have to make sure you get a confirmation number for all changes to your account." He transferred me to someone who claimed they disconnected me. "Can I please have a confirmation number," I asked. "We don't give those," the person said.

    At the time of the tornado in Pleasant Hill, I lost my home of 35 years and most of what I own; this included over half of my income for a time. Forced to start over, one of the first things I did was to contact Verizon and let you know that I would pay what I could, when I could and that during this time phone service was vital. Moving from one location to another I discovered how poor my coverage actually was.

    Hoping to stay with Verizon after so many years and still unsure of a permanent home, I asked repeatedly of options to lower my bill as I continued to receive very little, mostly NO signal or service. I've received the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced; by phone, survey, email and in person at two separate locations. I was told there were no less expensive options available to me at both locations. (Possibly a booster for several hundred dollars that may or may not work.)

    The CSR on the final phone call spoke very poor rapid English; I asked her several times about Verizon Visible, if it was an option and she had NO idea what I was talking about. She put me on hold so many times to 'speak with a supervisor' that I stopped counting at 7 times and, thoroughly disgusted, I told her to cancel my service. I owe the balance on my phone ONLY and will send what I can, when I can, by money order through the USPS. All accounts have been closed. I will not pay one more penny towards no service, past or present. Can you hear me now??

    Unfortunately I'm at the point I need to leave Verizon. The service is awesome when it's not during peak times....Try and use the Internet between 5 pm and 11pm, forget it. Tried getting resolved more times than I can count with the understanding I should also pay for their home wifi....So I guess anyone that has internet and doesn't go anywhere or need to use their phone it would be good for.... Anyone else it's completely useless.

    BEWARE of ZERO accountability and ZERO help with Business Customer Services. I have called over 20 times (5 times today) and recorded calls over last few months when I was told this would be taken care of and still hasn’t with no help in sight or contacts to call to help me with it. Just, "Sorry. This is best I can do from customer services, billing, corporate 212 number." They have owned by their own admission at least 6 times that it is a business account error but have no real way to fix it. This last phone after 2 hours of waiting was told to go to the local store but local store says, "Don’t know why they sent you here because we can not back date your account to assist you with the error…." Constant Goose chase and LIES.

    January 2025, I moved my T-MOBILE (super sorry I did) to Verizon Business and added just one line to my existing phone. I also added HOME internet, but canceled before 24 hours and definitely before 30 days. Never opened package, sent back with the shipping label that finally came but not till after the billing cycle to where I had to pay over $300. They were suppose to credit my account like I never had home internet line so roughly $150 for two phone lines. Every month they have charged me $257 and every month they tell me it has been taken care of.

    Last month (4-8), they said I should have over $300 credit and bill should be at $150 (like the other months). Just yesterday they robbed my account for $257. AGAIN…. I am tired of incompetence and costly mistake of moving to Verizon from TMOBILE. If I were you… I wouldn’t with VERIZON!!! I waited on hold for 1 hour and 45 minutes for the Supervisor of business customer services to come on the phone before I hung up. Have you had the same, reach out to me.

However, since making the switch, our phones have been working very slowly, and we frequently have to refresh the pages. We are now locked into a three-year contract and feel as though missed led.

    I’ve been a Verizon wireless customer for nearly a decade now. I have not had any problems until the last two years. Every month I have to call and have charges removed from my bill because they keep charging me taxes from a state and city that neither one of my Verizon wireless Lines phones plans are in. Every month, why is it not a simple removal of the charges from the account permanently? I am overjoyed that I have to call Verizon again this month and wait online for nearly an hour for the customer service person to give me a discount not asking for a discount. I would like the charges permanently removed and I understand that it’s under two dollars, however it is the principle of the fact that I am being charged taxes for another state and city. I wish you would figure out the problem because it is annoying and I can’t wait to dump you as a carrier because of it.

    I had Verizon for 13 years, my wife for 16 years and we both cancelled and moved on this week. Two reasons for changing carriers; Number 1, while building a house and moving I had the misfortune of living in a pocket of poor coverage. Working from home was impossible. I made at least 15 calls with no results. I wrote to the CEO and his office responded, confirmed the poor coverage then overnighted a signal booster. The cure and acknowledgment of the problem happened in 15 minutes after months of promises of an investigation & resolution.

    Then I signed up for the senior plan, somehow when I bought a new phone I was switched back to a regular plan at almost double the rate. I spent almost forever and eventually got the rate down but every call was an hour to two hours. I resented that the senior rate was only available if I were a resident of Florida. What is up with that, should not seniors in all geographical be entitled to equal treatment by a utility?

    Then when my house was built and complete I moved in only to find I had no cell service and the signal booster I had been given for the other poor signal area was on the blink. IT was going to cost me $200 to get a replacement. Meanwhile I my rate had increased without notice. Another 15 phone calls and long holding times and then having agents who barely can speak English. So we moved to a new carrier, our rate is cut by 50%, service and coverage is excellent. Over the years I built up so much resentment toward Verizon that I went a step further and de-qualified Verizon as a vendor to qualify for cell phone reimbursement.

    I did have a past due payment and my services were cut off, even though I had spoken with a representative beforehand to postpone the due date. I made a partial payment with a promise to pay in two weeks. Only for my services to be interrupted the following day. The system would not let me speak with an agent and I was forced to pay the remaining balance (with funds that I needed to use to pay another bill) to restore my services.

    My wife was recently laid off but found another position. Unfortunately, her pay dates changed which was beyond our control. I was under the impression that Verizon would understand however they didn't seem to care about our circumstances. All they seemed to care was collecting their money now, with no one to talk to.

    My brother passed away in February 2025 and I’ve been wrapping up his accounts. It hasn’t been easy to get through to most of the services he used – the gas company, electric company, internet service, health insurance, the post office, Medicare, and many more.. but I have to call out Verizon Wireless for having the absolute worst customer “service” of all. Between the endless voice prompts that prevent you from speaking with a live agent, to the very few agents you can reach who cannot help you after all if you lie to the prompts, Verizon Wireless customer “service” has been the most time consuming, frustrating, and unhelpful of all.

    Cell phones have become a necessity and for some people are the primary way of communication and managing online bills and expenses. Every customer who has a Verizon Wireless cell phone today is going to die sometime in the future; given that, you’d think it would be somewhat simple to report the death and manage the deceased person’s account. With Verizon Wireless, it’s been impossible to do that: not because any mistakes were made, because that’s how Verizon has set its policies.

    I have a Verizon Wireless service account myself, and as soon as my current cell phone is paid off I’ll be switching to another carrier because I don’t want my own executor to have to waste so much time trying-for nothing-to deal with Verizon Wireless’s nonexistent customer “service”. Also, the minimum number of stars is 1, which is far too generous; zero stars should be an option for a company that provides customers with zero service. And for Verizon Wireless, I’d even argue that negative stars should be available, too.

    I signed up with Verizon and I had to get a new number for various reasons but that wasn't a deal breaker at that point. I worked with the salesperson who I specifically told that I needed a standard size phone, explaining I needed the smaller phone because of my small hands and I was sent an S24 FE, which is exactly what I did not ask for or need. After a week trying to manage with that phone, I began working and interacting with customer service, mostly on chat to solve the problem by exchanging the phone for a proper sized one. If I'd known what I was getting into I would have just canceled service right away. What ended up happening is that I had to deal with customer service, mostly through chat which is laborious, for over two days off and on, which culminated on a Saturday evening, after I had been working with their tech department from Saturday afternoon to literally midnight.

    At that point I was told by their Tech Bros to restart my phone. To be clear, the goal was to activate my old phone remotely which would allow me to have service while I returned the improperly sent large phone that did not work for me. What ended up happening is that after I restarted the phone as directed by their check department, I no longer had phone service. My old phone was not activated remotely. This was happening on the weekend. I didn't expect anything to happen on Sunday, so I called first thing Monday morning to find out when I would have service, or a new phone or both. The person I ended up talking to, another customer service agent on chat, told me that it was impossible to activate a phone remotely. Additionally even though most of the people I had already talked to which was several customer service agents as well as two supervisors, the person I ended up talking to that morning was really rude. I gave it one more day.

    In the meantime, I had no phone service. I could call 911 on my old phone but that was it. I had already returned the new phone that was too large. After 3 days of this, I absolutely could not face any more hours of chat with Verizon customer service even if they were gracious off and on, and I had to go into town and sign up with a whole another phone company which included getting another new number. This was an early March. Today is April 30th. I had been told by two supervisors that I would receive a full refund of my monthly payment, and remember it was my first one, and I basically got one week of service, I was also told that I would receive compensation for my trouble.

    Both promises were lies. I did not receive a full refund. I received some mysterious partial refunds with no explanation, and finally today when I talked to three more people, I was finally told that I would not receive a full refund and there would be no compensation regardless of who said what to me. It doesn't matter apparently that all chats are viewable later or that phone calls are recorded. I'm only getting a partial refund, I'm still getting used to my new number and there will be no promised compensation for their tech department leaving me without any phone service for 3 days or their salesperson accidentally or deliberately sending me a phone that was not what I requested.

    This is been one of the most stressful encounters I've had in regard to phone service and I have since looked more into verizon, they are a multi-billion dollar company, last time I looked it was at 184 billion dollars worth on the stock market or whatever, and they can't just follow through with giving me a refund for a period of time in which I didn't even have service with their company much less compensation promised because they really ran me over the hot coals with their gracious customer service and their stupid Tech Bros. I waited until now to make a review because I was hoping it was possible they were telling me the truth, and I've just been informed that no, whoever I spoke to did not give me correct information. I call it lying.

I have also been told by someone else that they see my order is still being processed. I have been told but yet another person that the taxes were not paid. Online it said the shipment of my phone is being delayed. I received phone calls from 3 different Verizon people all telling me different things.

    One person was speaking with me for over 1/2 hour and then they disconnected me and despite having my phone number, no one called me back. I was also instructed by someone else to go into a Verizon store to get it straightened out. I did this and was greeted by a worker with an obnoxious attitude and told the order is in process and they can’t do anything - I need to call Verizon which is what I have done for 9 days and have gotten absolutely nowhere!!!

I was not informed when I got home internet, that a new line was assigned for internet. After 5 calls to customer service asking why I had 2 lines and could it be removed? Each representative said they would remove the #. Only until I spoke to Grace and then supervisor, Len, was it explained to me needing a line for internet.

    Why would at least 5 representatives not know to explain to me why the line was needed. When I called for home internet the representative never informed me.

    Verizon needs to train staff better, stay on top of a customer of 23 years and why she has called more than 5x?? I hope my future contact is better, if not another service will be hired. Shame on Verizon to waste my time when one phone call could have answered my question!!

    Ok, I switched to VW 5 days ago, 4 lines. The Cell and data service stopped on 1 of my phones. On Ester.... No shops are understandably open. The 611 is 'reached us out of business hours'. I tried to chat, what a nightmare! No help at all, I was transferred from 1 rep to another 6(!) times: had to go thru the personal verification every time, and.... the last 'rep' just stopped chatting. I've waited for 15 mins, no response, none. Wasted 2.5 hours of my life for nothing. Please do yourself a favor - find another provider with the basic understanding what a customer service should be in the USA. Thank you.

    After 23 years on Verizon Wireless, I have reached an impasse. After the company's CR line totally screwed up my plan and promotional cell order, I tried to enlist the help of the Brea store. Over the years, the Brea store was always the go to for upgrades and solving problems. Not anymore! When I went in the Brea store this week, I was informed that they could not help me and that the CR line would have to handle the problem. When I asked how do I solve problems that the CR line kept introducing due their lack of skills and produced screenshots, the young lady told me there was nothing the store could do. This forced me to to contact the CEO executive office. What was stunning was the complete lack of empathy the young lady displayed. It was obvious she just wanted me out of there.

    The executive office analyst got back to me immediately and was very helpful. Unfortunately, I have to wait for system processes to complete before things may or may not go back to normal. We shall see when I get my next bill. While my plan change should be successful finally, I am still without the promotional free phone upgrade the advertising promised and am committed to a retail installment contract I was forced sign in proceeding with the process. I am hoping this will be resolved next week.

    Verizon and others are trying to automate the plan change and upgrade process completely. The bigger problem is when this process goes wrong as it did initially for me, your solution resource is the CR line. In the case of Verizon, they moved it overseas to the Philippines. While the Pilipino operators are very nice (their nature), they have to put you on hold for ten minutes at a time, every time they go to make changes in the system. It sounds like they need a good deal more training. When trying to change my plan to the new advertised plan, I ended up with four different versions on my account screens. My attempt to add an upgraded phone ended with a retail installment contract with no explanation of how the upgrade promotion process works. All of this took over five hours.

    Approximately, two or three years ago I tried to change my plan to an unlimited plan. Every time CR made a change, the system changed things back to my old plan by the time I got a bill. After several months and numerous phone calls, I gave up. Therefore, this nightmare is round two. In talking to my retiree friends at the golf course I play at every week, I found out that I am not the only one with Verizon problems. This is why some people are cancelling. I did find one person that had a good upgrade experience at another Verizon store. He walked in and they upgraded his plan, phone and transferred data. He walked out with nothing to do, but use the equipment and pay the bill. This is what my earlier experiences were like Verizon's stores.

    I always loved Verizon for their great reception and excellent customer service (23 years). This has all changed with their process automation and overseas CR. The old Verizon is gone. While this mess was progressing through its phases, I didn't get a bit of the slightest empathy from any of their employees. The worst was the young lady at the Brea Verizon store, whose attitude bordered on contempt. Since we don't have dependable resources from Verizon, we are starting to look for a replacement vendor. T Mobile keeps getting recommended thus far.

    1 Star. Beware of Deceptive Sales Practices at Verizon Thomasville NC. I feel completely misled and taken advantage of by the Verizon store in Thomasville. I purchased a phone outright—Or so I thought. What the sales reps conveniently failed to explain was that my "trade-in credit" was actually being spread over a three-year period. That means when I recently switched to Spectrum, I was hit with a bill for over $400 for a phone I was told I had bought outright. Had I known this, I NEVER would have traded in my old phone. I would’ve simply bought both devices at full retail. This kind of omission is unacceptable and borders on predatory. The service is expensive, and the sales approach feels sleazy and misleading. Save yourself the headache and the money—Switch to Spectrum or literally any other provider. Verizon at this location will tell you anything to close a sale.

    I activated 5 lines with Verizon. I wanted the $25 plan for each phone. The customer service rep assured me that's not a problem then activated the lines on $40 plans and added $10 perks that I never authorized. They couldn't set up my military discount. I was told 2 phones had equipment charges of $8.66 because that was the promotion, but come to find out they are charging me $11.39 per phone.

    Verizon employees lie to get a sale, so be very cautious. I will never buy Verizon or give a referral to Verizon ever again. I'm still in my 30 day trial period so I'm returning my phones and because they lied to me, I will not pay any kind of restocking fee. That's ridiculous, it was their mistake from the beginning. You can't charge clients for your mistakes. You can't lie to your clientele. It's bad business. Do not go with Verizon. Check out other carriers.

    Avoid Verizon’s Store at 712 Kingwood Drive, TX – Unauthorized Changes & Costly Unresolved Issues. In February 2025, I visited this store to inquire about a possible phone number change. Instead, I experienced: Unauthorized Line Added: A new line was added to my account without consent, increasing my bill. Incorrect Device Entry: Staff used an EMEI number for a device I do not own (listed as a camera), complicating my account. Costly Service Changes: My plan was altered to fewer features without explanation, raising my bill—and after attempts to correct this. to over $200/month for one phone.

    Failed Resolution Attempts: Staff redirected me to customer service instead of resolving issues. A store representative (identified as a trainer) claimed "100% satisfaction" but refused to admit fault so this could be corrected. Pattern of Issues: Later learned a friend experienced similar unauthorized changes at this location weeks earlier, suggesting a pattern and recurring problems. Verizon Corporate: Reverse unauthorized charges, restore my original plan, credit my trade-in as you offered, and investigate this store’s practices. To Customers: Proceed with caution. This store’s actions caused financial harm and ignored accountability.

Customers should research this before opening an account with VZN.). Customer service and the fraud department have very poor communication. They are incapable of explaining issues to their customers. They spend more time trying to avoid saying the wrong things so their company does not take accountability when internal fraud occurs.

    Instead of treating a loyal customer of 17 years with respect, the Fraud Dept. representative listened to what I said then rephrased everything I said into a statement that I did not make. Then she argued with me and became aggressive. She did not provide any information or details, she did not assist me at all. With the amount of money I have spent with VZN over the past 17 years, I expect your employees to roll out a red carpet when I call for assistance to investigate FRAUD that is likely internal.

    Worst customer service I have ever seen. The entire year+ I've been using Verizon I have never been able to get ahold of any customer service agents via the phone or internet chat, so I end up having to go into a store, where they usually fix the problem. Today, 4/3/25, I get a message from Verizon saying I had used up all of my mobile Hotspot and that it would renew on 4/3/25. I always get this messages when my plan renews and the mobile Hotspot usually comes right back on, cuz, you know, same day. However, while I was in the middle of doing homework on my computer (running off of my Hotspot) and I got this message, the Hotspot completely went out and has not come back on.

    I called all of the Verizon customer service numbers, where an automated dude led me around in circles, refused me the option to speak to a live representative, and hung up on me. So I tried chatting with an agent online. The first chat I got started disconnected almost immediately and every time I tried to restart it or make a new chat I was told there was an internal error and I should try again. After hours of this, I went to the Verizon store, where, after waiting in line, I was told there was nothing they could do to help me. One of the managers dialed a customer service number in my phone and hit 0 a bunch of times and hold music started playing. I am home from the store and have yet to be answered. Verizon clearly doesn't care about their customers at all, and the second I get paid I'm switching to another service. Verizon is pathetic.

It took several months after several phone calls and visits to a Verizon store to get the $100 gift cards. My plan was also eligible for a $300 gift card, which Verizon will never give me because they say that my purchase did not qualify for the obscure reason that the sales rep, who made the purchase for me, failed to add the coupon in the shopping cart.

We ordered the new router and we were waiting for it to get here until it got held up and then returned to sender because Verizon is absolutely so dog water that sent the new router to a random business. HOW DID THEY EVEN PICK THIS ADDRESS THEY SENT IT TO? Do Verizon employees just close their eyes and point to a random location in the map to send other people's routers to???? And we called to find out why did they send it to a random address and we got sent to a third party who doesn’t know that a Unit number is an apartment number.

    They then said they couldn’t send us the new router to our correct address because they don’t have it and they have to wait to send the router and because today is Friday, they refuse to process the router until Monday were. I have to call them again! The upside is that I don’t have to pay for internet a random business that they selected, so WOOHOO.

    I deeply regret switching my business lines to Verizon. My experience has been nothing short of frustrating, primarily due to the misleading and unprofessional behavior of an agent named Carlos ** at the MacArthur Blvd Corporate Store in Irving, TX. Carlos assured me that all three of our traded-in devices would qualify for the $1,000 trade-in promotion. However, only one device received the credit. He claimed he submitted paperwork for a manual adjustment, but months later, I found out that the other two devices never received the promo credit at all. When I returned to the store, Carlos pretended not to know what I was talking about. After some pressure, he admitted his mistake and promised to fix the issue.

    Fast forward to weeks later, and I received a bill for over $1,000. When I reached out to Carlos for clarification, he took no responsibility and falsely claimed he had told me there would be a chargeback once the promo credit was applied—this was a complete lie. My sister also spoke with him and experienced his rude and dismissive attitude. It is clear that Verizon’s lack of accountability and poor customer service, from the store agent to the management, is unacceptable. I will be canceling my business account and returning to my previous provider. I strongly advise others to avoid this Verizon store at all costs. #PoorService #MisleadingPromotions #VerizonFail

    We had paid off our iPhone 13s and they talked my wife into getting iPhone 16 and committing to another 3 years. The phones were supposed to be free. Later they refused to honor the agreement they made telling that either salesperson lied to us or was mistaken. We are now paying for new phones. The billing has been atrocious. No one there can explain how they determine our bill they are complete liars and thieves.

    After sixteen years of bliss the last three months has been a nightmare to say the least. I bought three new phones and two new iPads along with an Apple Watch. The lines do not work, the bill is outrageous and the chat box they insist you use is a repetitive nightmare. I would gladly send it all back and choose some other carrier if I could. It looks as though my next steps are suing them and spending more money. I suggest you avoid Verizon like the plague!

    I have to agree with all the bad reviews on all the pages, this company is by far the worst I have ever experienced in my 80 years of life, there is absolutely no such thing as customer service and hell you can't even make a damn phone call without being cut off.

    I purchased the new Flip phone 6. It went totally black after 6 months. Verizon replaced the screen without success, and said it was something internal wrong. I have the replacement insurance so they sent me a used phone as the replacement. I sent my phone back and thought that was the end.... Wrong. I received a bill for 299.00 damage fee. I have talked to customer service 3 times and each time they say they will take care of it. Now they are threatening to disconnect my phone. So I spend a thousand dollars for a phone, the phone dies at 6 months, have replacement insurance, they send me a used phone, and they still want me to pay 299.00. I will never get another flip phone. Customer service is terrible. If they're not going to help me just say so, DON'T KEEP LYING!

    I have been a Verizon Customer for 6 years both Home Internet and wireless. My original complaint was that I need two separate accounts for each service - two different passwords, two different logins. 6 years later they have finally figured out how to have both connected, I really don't understand how a telecommunications company can be so inept at something that seems not that hard.

    Now to my second complaint, I recently tried to select additional services (entertainment bundle) for my home internet. I tried on my phone at least three times but with no luck. So I tried through the website. Again no luck. How hard can a company make it to select additional services. Frustrated I contacted customer support - what a disaster, the rep could not find my account - really? I have been a customer for 6 years and they can't find my account. Mr ** who manages your website, have they ever thought to test performance, do you actually listen to customer complaints? Really shocking for a company that claims to world class.

    I do not understand how Verizon Wireless Financial Services WILL NOT allow customers to talk to an agent!!! My ex-husband ported his phone number out of my account and stuck me with the bill of his cell phone of about $1000.00. My account got suspended, my unpaid balance is $1300, because it INCLUDES the $1000.00 he owed. So I CANNOT restore my service because I CANNOT AFFORD the $1300 and I CANNOT TALK TO ANYONE! The AI system they have now just SHUTS YOU DOWN! So I have NO SERVICE, I CANNOT PAY THE BILL, and I have NO ONE TO TALK TO ABOUT IT!!! I have been a customer for 21 years!!! This is RIDICULOUS!

    I applied in January for a promotion that you add a Samsung device to your plan and you to pick a 75in tv or 50in tv however the agent that set this up for did it incorrectly. In-fact they put a 1000 dollar promotion on the device instead of the 75inch tv that I specifically requested. Now we are about to bring into April and I still haven’t gotten a legit answer of what happened to my tv. Instead I just keep getting answers of the back end team will correct in 4-5 business days or 48 hours etc., etc. Mind you these are the same responses I’ve been getting since January. I will never do another promotion with Verizon after this inconvenience. It’s not my fault your agent didn’t do their job correctly

    I was a loyal Verizon customer since 2003 until now. I've had minor issues with Verizon over the years but nothing like what happened today. I had recently purchased their home internet to try tldr I ended up not using it and requested to return. Return was requested and granted via phone with Verizon with instructions to return device to a particular UPS store identified by street. I go to store, return device and am handed a VERIZON branded receipt. 3 weeks later I am charged $324 for this device that was not used and was returned. I called CS and was basically told because they couldn't find tracking number it didn't happen and they didn't care about my receipt when I offered to upload. They asked me to go to store and ask UPS employees to go look for it. Just the dumbest nonsense I've ever heard. They are such a joke. Immediately cancelled service.

    The service with Verizon Wireless is terrible!!! I have been with them over 7 years and can't believe how bad it has gotten over the years. The bill is never what was promised, customer service it outsourced and agents blatantly lie about the resolutions to your problem to get you off the phone. Supervisors are never available to assist.

    I have been a customer of Verizon for over 20 years. I canceled my account last December when I came to realize I was being significantly overcharged for their services. I went to a competitive provider whose services were only 1/5 the cost and provided exceptionally better customer service. After I terminated my account with Verizon, they continued to bill me for three consecutive months. I called each month and talked with a representative in customer service who had very poor listening skills and spoke very poor English. No one could figure out why I was still being charged for Verizon services after I documented the cancellation. Verizon is extremely overpriced and customer service is very challenging. One call, I was transferred 6 times, and the issues were not resolved.

    Take a close look at the ratings, so many people are posting about Verizon. This is not just one person complaining about their service. For some reason, people feel comfortable with the Verizon name but the reality is there are so many other companies, that are lesser known, but try so much harder for your business. Verizon can start by having customer service people, whose job is to be talking on a phone, to know the English language. I understand they get people from other countries because it is cheaper, but they need to realize that "Cheaper" means worse service to their clients. And this lack of service does not end on the phone.

    In 19 years with Verizon, I have yet to be in a Verizon store in which I did not get an attitude like I am the moron because I do not know the latest technology. In addition, I bought a cover for my phone, that was made in China, that cost at most, fifty cents to make and yet they charged me $50 which was a complete rip off. If I know it upfront, I never would have bought it. We need to wake up, as consumers, and not assume Verizon is the way to go because they are showing no indication they care about us and the reviews show it.

    A one star is being generous. Received text message "keep your current plan and get iPhone 16 on us ($830 in value). When you trade in any phone from Apple, Samsung, or Google, any condition guaranteed." Went to the store today to "trade in" an iPhone 12 for an iPhone 16. The first question I was asked was did the sales associate tell you how much your trade in was worth? It was two days prior so I said "I don't remember".

    Red flags should have gone up immediately when they had me sign first that I would pay 36 installments on the new phone. I asked what about the trade in value of the phone. Their answer was that the system doesn't recognize a trade in now. I was told that it would take two hours to transfer all my data over to my new phone so go out and run some errands. The problem this caused was that I had a meeting later tonight and it would put me close to being late for it. They already started the swap, so I went out and came back an hour later and the phones were just finishing up. In a hurry, they put on the new Otterbox and the screen protector I asked for. I paid the bill for the case and taxes that were due. I started to get up and one thing that struck me funny was the sales associate commented "this phone is now mine" (my old phone).

    The sales rep printed off the receipt, folded it in half, and put it between the boxes (Another red flag should have gone off). In a hurry to get home so I could get to my meeting, I didn't look over the bill to see if I got a credit for my phone. Looking over it now after my meeting there is nothing for the phone that I thought was going to be a "trade in".

    Overall, their text message is misleading, their sales associates lied knowing that they wouldn't be giving me a credit and feel that they stole my property! I wasn't expecting a lot for a "trade in" valve, but they now took a phone that I paid for. (To me this should be like trading in your old car when you buy a new one, you don't get much for it, but "usually" you get something for it).

    As a veteran, one of our mottos was integrity first. Currently, this company has zero. It's too bad that these companies have a monopoly because they know they can get away with this because they all do it. The worst part is being a stockholder in this company and now seeing how they not only treat their customer, but their "owners" as well.

    Unfortunately they tell lies always and it’s systematic and they encourage their customer service and they hide the information and unfortunately they steal my phone. They claim if I send my phone they will credit me $800 and they didn’t do that. After two years of phone calling they said, "We will compensate you with 200." And also their prices are not fix. They will tell you the plan will cost for example $70 and you will find yourself paying $200 after signing tens of documents actually that you could not leave or get away from them. It’s worst experience ever. I wish I didn’t try them.

    Was a Verizon customer for quite a while. They changed my plan terms, voided my banked travel passes and I called to try and work with them. They refused to re-instate my banked travel pass days and I told them I would find another carrier. Proceeded to pay off my phones and I had over $330 in banked Verizon Visa Rewards. The rewards were not applied to the phone payoffs and now the banked Visa Card Rewards have been lost because I am no longer a customer. Beware, they are a shady company and I do not recommend doing business with them. Also, customer support is foreign, good luck with that too.

    On Feb. 26, 2025, Ramon (**) & Johnny knocked on my door to let me know new Verizon towers were installed near me. They had great deals for internet & mobile phones and I was excited to save money. I was told that Verizon would pay off my old phones, I would get two new 15+ Apple Iphones, and two lines for $110.00. On March 3, I called Ramon to let him know internet was set up and how to switch phone lines. After obtaining a transfer pin, I provided it to Ramon, who connected me with a Verizon customer service rep. Shauna. The rep. took all my new phone info and when I asked about paying off my old phones, she said Ramon should have told her about that first. And, since I created a new account for the internet on Feb. 26, I was not considered a new customer and therefore not eligible to have my old phones paid off (approx. $400.00).

    I immediately cancelled the order, but they still sent the phones. They also charged me $139.00 for tax on the phones which still has not be refunded to me. I am extremely disappointed and angry that I was mislead by a salesperson who had no idea what he was doing. Instead of saving money, I've expended numerous hours trying to straighten this mess out and will stay with my current company, AT&T.
