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

I am moving to a new apartment and need to have wifi. Got everything set up with Verizon but then they started texting and emailing me about additional documents. Called the number, was told everything was fine, then get a text that my order was canceled. Called again, they need additional documents again and want me to stay on the phone, so they can guide me. You know what? I am already pretty much stressed because of the moving process. I canceled everything and taking my business to Optimum, they are 2 minutes drive from me and I will just walk in and set everything up. Screw that!

Forget about technical support! My phone started showing SOS and wouldn’t connect. Apparently this was a nationwide event. They said I needed to call back since wait was hours. Set appointment for 9 called about same time. Then waited over 1/2 hours after call to pickup.

I have been a Verizon customer for almost 20 years, but recently I have been having several issues with the service. My phone has been stuck in SOS mode for over 18 hours. It’s so bad that I can’t make calls or texts even over Wi-Fi at home. I went to a Verizon store and no one helped. They said it’s a nationwide outage. I had no idea of the outage until well into the evening. I can’t connect to my Verizon app to get a callback or schedule a time for them to call me. I have called and waited literal hours for no answer at the customer service center. I am heading to demand assistance as soon as a store opens. I also hope to leave Verizon asap. This is so beyond inconvenient and it’s been nothing short of a disaster. The lack of transparency is a slap in the face. And at this point I honestly believe that Verizon knew the outage would happen prior to August 30.

My phone went into SOS mode for MORE THAN 8 hours, and I spent a long time troubleshooting and calling customer service, only to have my calls drop twice. There was no resolution. It wasn't until I got home and saw a news report that I found out about a massive power outage in the area. Verizon's failure to communicate a major outage to its customers is completely unacceptable. They wasted my time and, even worse, the outage caused me to miss important business calls and meetings, which resulted in a financial loss. This kind of poor customer service and lack of transparency is why I'm now taking my business elsewhere.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with Verizon for 2 yrs now. From the very first day when they couldn't successfully set up our phones they charged $40 each to set up. I would not recommend anyone to get them. They also lied about the phones we were buying that were already about 2 yrs old. My mobile data has not worked all morning. I have 4 lines. Mine is the only one affected. I can't get any help online or over the phone.

Not a trustable company. Customer service is the worst, the only way you can get in contact with them is through sales. Americas worst network and please don’t leave the country either 12 dollars a day to use anything. My lady has T-Mobile she was able to use the phone the whole week we were on vacation.

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

I've been a customer for over 20 years, but this past year the customer service SERIOUSLY tanked!! The screen on my Z Fold phone started malfunctioning and I've been to the store twice, called in at least twice, and have been on chats around 8 - 10 times over the last 5 months or so and STILL don't have a solution! The agents continue to lie to me constantly and just try to sell me more crap when I just want the issue with my phone resolved!! I have insurance and extended warranty and they only want to send me a used phone, or sell me a new one with an added line on my account! Why do I need 4 lines with 3 phones and why do I want someone else's used crap for a replacement (even though multiple agents promised me a NEW replacement, never happened?!)
Beyond ridiculous and I'm furious at this point! Then, I contacted them today to get a charge removed that shouldn't have been on my bill, and what do they do yet again?? Ignore the issue and try to sell me more crap I don't need!! I've already contacted T-Mobile about trying to switch. DONE!!

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

Verizon is a terrible company to TRY and do business with. I am in Spring Lake, MI. I can’t hold onto ANY OF MY CALLS! Calls are dropped 4-5 times for each call lasting 10 minutes or less. We must speak quickly to get info or receive. I have called Verizon several times and today they told me that I do qualify for some kind of special transmitter in order to get better service. Guess what? THEY DON’T HAVE ANY special transmitters. I get to call back in 10 days and MAYBE they will have one… maybe not! I’m canceling my account in 9 months when my phone is paid for and switching carriers. They were also supposed to credit my account. They have done nothing. They are charging me full price for partial service. Think about that: FULL PRICE FOR PARTIAL SERVICE. Big fat company with VERY SKINNY SERVICE.

I've been getting 40-60 robocalls per day. These are people trying to get your Social Security number or Medicare number.

I’ve been a loyal Verizon customer for over 7 years, managing 9 phone lines and home internet. On August 10, 2025, I placed an order that included a new line and two line upgrades. While I received the new line promptly, the upgrade devices never arrived. After spending nearly two hours on the phone with customer service, I was informed that the order was pending supervisor approval and instructed to call back in three business days. When I followed up 11 days later, I was told the order had been canceled — with no explanation provided.
When I escalated to a supervisor, I was told the system failed to process the upgrades and that the original agent never sent a confirmation. Despite Verizon acknowledging the issue, no compensation was offered — only an apology. As a long-term customer managing multiple lines, this experience was both frustrating and disappointing. Verizon must take greater accountability when errors like this occur. Frankly, I don’t believe this was a system failure. It’s difficult to accept that the system successfully processed a new line, yet failed to complete the upgrades — all part of the same transaction. That inconsistency raises serious questions about internal processes and accountability.

Their customer service will lie to you just to keep you as a customer. I had a phone with a screen defect, and they assured me it was a manufacturer’s issue that would be replaced at no cost. After four days of waiting, the replacement finally arrived on a Thursday—but instead of a new device, they sent me a “certified used” one. That’s like buying a brand-new car worth thousands of dollars, discovering a manufacturer’s defect, returning it—and then being handed a used car as the replacement. Does that sound fair? After spending countless hours on the phone with them only to end up with a used phone, I returned the device and closed my account. Verizon proved themselves to be dishonest, misleading, and unwilling to stand by their promises. Take a hike, Verizon. Best, Steve.

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

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

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

They claim they're on top of it but I still hear nothing even at the mentioning of going elsewhere. Back to T-Mobile. They seem to care less.

I just spoke with a supervisor (Summer), what a joke. After almost an hour on the phone. It appears I was disconnected and no call back. My bill was consistent for years and I never had issues until Dec 2024 when I made a slight plan upgrade for 1 week to accommodate being in international waters on a cruise. Since then I've had reps tell me they were doing the best for me and ended up putting me on lower plans to save $$ but with compromised service.

I've removed services from my Verizon plan like Disney/Hulu and Google game play pass in efforts to lower my bill less than $230/month.

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

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

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

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

Verizon has really gone downhill over the past few years. 1. Customer service is HORRIBLE! Never get anyone on the phone that speaks clear English as they apparently outsource out of the country. 2. Ever since they went to 5 G internet speeds are super slow like dial up speeds. 3. They lie when you speak to a customer service rep, we have been lied to so much that we have lost count how many times. So, if you are looking at going with Verizon, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

I had Fios and thought I might switch my phone to Verizon’s mobile, since they nearly constantly upsell that. It took 4 days of sitting on hold and arguing with their ridiculous AI to get my phone working. A month later they simply turned the phone off. The claimed I was delinquent on the bill despite the fact that they had just debited my account. I paid more money, got the phone working after 24 hours without it.
I finally got through to customer service by asking to speak to a human about 73 times. It was explained to me that my Verizon account didn’t include both fios and Verizon mobile and I needed to link these accounts. I was sent a video tutorial on how to link accounts. This is almost insane. Why should I link the accounts!? I am a paying customer who responded to their upselling and purchased a service while keeping the same name, address, and phone number. Why would I know that Verizon isn’t a single entity???? Why should I fix this on their homepage!??? Unacceptable.

I have been a loyal customer to Verizon Wireless for 15+ years. In most recent years I feel they must be really big and they don’t need people service so they blatantly lie about information. In the last year, I upgraded my phone and my son‘s phone and was told that my plan would stay exactly the same but that I would actually save $20 a month if I upgraded to this new phone so I went for it. Who doesn’t want to save $20 a month. When I got my next bill, it was $300 more than what my previous bill was when I called. The person was rude. Basically told me to kiss my ass and that they weren’t going to do anything about it when I called back and spoke with somebody different. They were able to give me a discount. I had no choice. I run my business through my phone so I accepted the discount.
Now last month we went out of the country. I called. Asked for what the best possible international travel plan was. The person I spoke with told me that since I was a loyal customer, they were going to give me a discount, and that my plan would only be an extra $316 for the month. I have now received two bills that are $529 more than what they said it was gonna be so basically $900 when I called they stated that I don’t have an international calling plan and they don’t know why the person told me that so now boo-hoo you have to pay the bill. I hate being lied to and they need to get better customer service.

I have never dealt with any company with the most inexperienced customer support. I have spent over 15 hours in the past week troubleshooting multiple issues. From phone upgrades gone wrong due to MULTIPLE reps giving the wrong information and completely screwing up my account to very poor support and experience with setting up my home internet. I have talked to over 10 different reps in those 15 hours.
Most of the time I waited more than 5 minutes between each simple question. They never reached the level of troubleshooting that Google could provide with me doing it on my own. Instead, I kept getting disconnected from chat, restarting my issue story and after hours never reaching a solution. Verizon needs to take the extreme amount of money they make and put it all into training. How they are the leading network is beyond me. The answer is it's a monopoly of cell towers and now they do not have to provide customer service for their failures. Reliable service means they own all of the towers and they don't need to offer support.

I have been with Verizon a few times since the early 2000's, but I will expand upon my recent experiences. Service is average, they charge extra money and talk about 5G coverage but I still lose service in simple spots, and honestly, it feels worse. You can't do a THING online. The website is riddled with issues or "something went wrong" always pops up. If you call, you get outsourced reps who have no idea what they're doing.
The eSIM model is a trap. I had a SIM card and I was free to do what I wanted, I could buy an unlocked phone and switch at leisure. With eSim, it says you can switch online but it always runs into a problem, and then when I call, it's 2 hours of them not helping me. When I ordered a SIM card, they activated it before it even got to me then they couldn't get my service out of limbo (the SIM was activated with my number but nothing was working.)

They sign you for contracts for 36 months. They include the automatic renewal in the contract. So hard to cancel services and to return equipment. If you use equipment for over 30 days, you can't return it and you have to pay it. I called to return equipment that I don't need anymore. The agent told me to bring that to the store where I bought it. When I got to the store, they say they need a return label. I called to them to get the return label and they refused to do it.

I recently went to my customer online portal to purchase the Z Fold 7 and Galaxy 8 Smartwatch. I had to finish with an online chat due to the technical difficulties of completing the transaction. Chat took over the purchase and asked what phone number I wanted to choose for my watch. I asked why does it have to be another phone number, I only want it to connect with my phone. They said in order for it to work properly it had to have its own connection to internet through its phone number. After the purchase, I kept getting a message to confirm my sales order to complete it, while receiving my Z Fold phone in the mail yesterday.
Today, I called regarding another message saying I need to complete my order. While on the phone I asked why I had to purchase and get charged for another line for my watch. Richard at Verizon advised if you buy your watch through Verizon, you have to have a separate line for it, but if you buy your watch from Best Buy or Target, etc, you don't have to have a separate line. I asked Richard to cancel my watch order, as this seems like a snake in the grass move. He advised there was much technical difficulty with them completing their jobs and helping with that, as the order didn't show in the system so he couldn't cancel it, but I could return it once it shipped out on 8/8 and request a refund. (Today is 7/26.)
In the meantime, I went online to my account, pulled up the order, saw the cancel order button and cancelled it myself. Then advised Richard, shame on Verizon for so many tricks all in order for THEIR GAIN and CUSTOMER LOSS! He said they do the best they can with the technology that is not working properly. Richard was kind to work with. This is all about the company and its what seems to be "shady practices".

I just had one of the worst customer service experiences ever with Verizon. On July 12th, the Samsung phone that’s the primary number on the account stopped working (touch screen stopped working) so it got sent off for repairs. I made the decision to get a backup phone by adding a line to the account and opted for an iPhone, which arrived on the 16th. Since it’s taking longer than usual for my Samsung to be returned to me, I went through the process of updating contact information and authentication methods on important accounts to include the number linked to the iPhone.
I tried to log into my account but it wouldn’t let me advance past the screen attempting to send a code/link to my old phone number (the one being repaired), I called Verizon to see if I could get the iPhone number to be used as the number for MFA. With all the stress going on, I could not remember the pin linked to my account. However, I was able to provide other identifying information (email address, other phone numbers on my account, my physical address, and my SSN).
I experienced being gaslit and was told by one representative that my account could not be found, despite a bill being sent to my email address today. Then the “manager” did not relay the correct information to “tech support”. I was kept on the phone for almost two hours with customer service representatives trying to make me feel stupid for their inability to fix the problem. The customer service needs improving. Have some empathy for your customers. Don’t insult their intelligence. And have additional ways of authenticating your customers apart from this method that the tech team is unable to figure out how to undo.

Extremely Disappointed with Verizon Business Services. I have had a deeply frustrating and disappointing experience with Verizon’s business service plan. Initially, I was offered a promotion by a Verizon representative that included five free phones with a trade-in of my old devices. I was quoted a monthly payment of $330, which seemed reasonable. However, after signing up, I was shocked to find my monthly bill fluctuating between $465 and $900 without clear explanation. Over the past five months, the service has been unreliable at best. The network frequently drops signals, and my business phones often stop working properly, requiring a service restoration every two weeks. This level of instability is unacceptable, especially for a business that depends on reliable communication.
Now, after enduring months of poor service and misleading billing, I’m looking to switch providers — but Verizon is demanding over $5,000 to terminate the contract and pay off the devices, which were originally advertised as “free.” This feels deceptive and exploitative. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Verizon to any business owner. If it were possible, I would give them less than one star.

For the past six months, I have been in continuous communication with Verizon's customer service and their executive office regarding the billing discrepancies on my statement. According to my retail device plan contract, it does not clearly state or inform me that Verizon would pass on its monthly expenses to customers. These expenses include Regulatory Charges, Federal Universal Service fees, Taxes and Governmental Surcharges, Rising Operational Costs, Compliance with Regulatory and Industry obligations, and Network Costs.
If these surcharges, taxes, and various fees had been disclosed to me from the beginning, I would have never chosen to do business with them. These fees were concealed from me, along with undisclosed price increases. The entire company (Verizon) continues to deny any wrongdoing. They have faced lawsuits and remain non-transparent about these fees and costs, while still engaging in manipulative, deceptive, and misleading business practices. Imagine if I operated a telecommunications company with significant monthly expenses and decided to pass all of those costs onto my customers to increase my revenue and balance my finances. How would you feel if I failed to disclose this crucial information to you and continued to extract every penny from you? You would be frustrated as well. Why should I bear the burden of another company's expenses when they are profiting millions to billions of dollars annually from my loyal customers?
Verizon is placing me in a financially precarious position each month. Frank informed me during a recorded call that he would not remove these excessive fees from my bills. That is akin to me saying I will charge you monthly for my rent and other incurred expenses. He would respond that it is not his problem, but mine. This is precisely how I feel. The expenses incurred by them should be their responsibility, not mine. Currently, my bill exceeds $2000 for seven lines that I do not possess.

And every one of the calls would be returned, my time is at 2am or 3am in the morning. So again my service was disconnected.
When your service is disconnected with verizon, you could not make any call to verizon. Your call will automatically be directed to make a payment and if you don't make a payment, you cannot speak to any department in verizon.

I was calling from to direct me a payment option. Again, I was connected to an agent that was not located in this country. And had no authorization to resolve my matter of two additional lines being put on my account.
With the late fees, my balance is now $3500. And yes, I tried to go into verizon store, but was told they were only sale agents, and they could not help me with my account directly. They supplied me with the same phone number that is on all the websites that would lead me to a recording... pay this, we're not speaking to anybody. And if you do pay it and you have issues, you're going to be connected to an agent in another country who will call you back in the wee hours of the morning.
A class action suit needs to be brought against verizon. I have spoke with other individuals, and they have experienced the same issue. They cannot contact any individual in the United States that can help them with issues concerning charges on their bill, that should not be there.

Verizon has been reporting a charged-off account on my credit reports, but within just 7 days, they gave me two different answers about who owns the debt. First, they said it was sold to Transworld Systems Inc. (TSI). Then, exactly a week later, they said it was sold to Sequim Asset Solutions. Neither company provided any proper documentation or validation, and Sequim Asset Solutions is not even licensed to collect debt in my state of Illinois. I verified this through the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (IDFPR).
Meanwhile, Verizon continues to report the debt themselves, even though they claimed it was sold. They have ignored multiple requests for validation and continue to dodge accountability. I have submitted complaints to the Illinois Attorney General, BBB, and consumer protection agencies, but Verizon gives vague copy-paste responses and refuses to fix the issue.
This has harmed my credit, caused emotional stress, and left me stuck in a cycle where no one will take responsibility.

I called again and they told me that same and it would be changed. A week goes by and a receive a text saying the auto pay of 263 will be deducted. I went to the corporate Verizon store to ask wtf. I waited 1 hour to be seen and back and forth trying to get answers about why. I was over it and paid the full amount. Today 3 days later I got notified I overpaid and I have a credit the amount I paid less the 160. I am not impressed by how much the workers can't do or don't know. I'm not trying to be hard on the employees. Verizon at the very least needs to have the associate explain all the stipulations to the customer and allow them more information to better help. They are way too expensive to not be the best at customer service.

Verizon has gone from sugar to you know. They sell me a replacement phone and I decided to send it back because the Bluetooth wouldn't connect. They tell me no refund because it was a customer service charge. I start out the call in billing where I need to be then transferred to a different department that has nothing to do with why I called. Then after the 1 star review I gave them they called me 3 times. I call back and ask for that person in their department and they said they have no record of it. Verizon nah!!!

I had a bad experience with a recent bill which charged me for an item the service technician/installer took to return to Verizon once he'd checked my wiring and had installed new equipment. I was upset last night when I opened my mail and found a hefty charge for that equipment & all sorts of fears entered my mind, & I was livid. But this morning, after speaking with a customer service representative, he located the equipment and saw to it that it would be inventoried, he adjusted my bill and even offered a "loyalty" discount for the next 12 months for my having been a customer for over 15 years. I am sooo relieved, last night I was even fearful I'd have another stroke (I had one a couple of years ago). I can now rest easy, and I am very very happy with the customer service rep who fixed the problem adeptly and professionally.

Well, upgrading to a 16 Pro Max will lower the cost of my service, but because Apple Music and Hulu are no longer a included bundle option, as well as the $5.55 payment for the device due to promotion, my bill would go up to over $130 per month...for 1 LINE!!!

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was locked in with a contract with Verizon but if I can cut it I’ll cut it right away. For more than a yr I have been calling Verizon every month just for my bill to be fixed and for my promotion. Promised by multiple people, asked me to call the agent who did my account as well as the manager under my account, all useless. Told me they can’t help but call customer service instead. I bought out an iPad but they still charge me as if I didn’t, we have returned a device last May but still billed me for not returning it but thankfully we kept the tracking number of the return item and they received it May 2025 but still billed us for it this June. So have to called again and as expected the bill is way over that what should be.

If I could give Verizon a 0 star review I would, and this comes after 17 years of having services through them. $340 a month for three phones. I recently switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and so far couldn't be happier. Better coverage, lower prices and top notch customer service. After discontinued service, these thieves continued to deduct money from my account, and of course, there was nothing they could do. It was a system error.

The sale tatics of Verizon door to door employees appears to be careless, unprofessional, pushy and with aggressive back/forth communications by their employees. I had a terrible experience with two workers wearing Verizon work vests while attempting to throw out garbage; one more than the other was combative and unprofessional. He also refused to leave the building when asked, even though he then entered it without permission. This not only shows lack of communication & customer service skills and represents unprofessional business tactics by Verizon, it also poses risk and safety concerns to patrons. I have a video of sep. interactions with same employee.
I attempted to reach out to Verizon about this, but initially was given the runaround. After speaking to a third employee, my complaint was "listened" to but no further action was advised would be taken. Phone rep. Basically said that those workers are third party affiliates and not directly employed by Verizon. I don't get it, but they promote and make business off of them.

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 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.

They told me the phone was still locked (had the phone for over two years and it's paid off).
I called Verizon and they told me it was unlocked but I had to do a factory reset (which is bs). I called the other carrier and told them what was going on. They called Verizon and were able to transfer my number and get the sim card working. Though Verizon tried to keep me to stay but telling me that they would lower my bill by $20.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The way Verizon runs the company in general is ridiculous due to the way the customer base is treated!!

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.

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.

My husband had to get a new phone, after “losing” his on the 303, so we headed to Lake Pleasant Pkwy Verizon Store. Because Verizon was offering a phone upgrade, we both decided to take advantage to the offer. Krayshann helped us with this transaction and he was FANTASTIC! I already gave him a Thumb's up on the Verizon Review, But, this review is specifically for Wes, who helped us today set up my husband’s phone after we “remembered” his Apple PW! Wes was patient, customer focused and extremely helpful. He set up my husband’s phone and sent us on our way - quite pleased AGAIN with this Verizon Store AND their EXCELLENT Staff! Mr. Manager - keep hiring these great employees!

Verizon has been abusing and price gouging rural consumers for decades and only getting worse with their CRM and service model and "fees". Shady sales tactics too for device and overcharging those too. Data abuses, brokering and breaches in their "operation" and 3rd party model too (pre and post GDPR). Illinois is bad.

Stephany at Verizon (the Glen; Glenview, IL) is the most helpful, patient, understanding person that I have dealt with in a retail store. She is kind and has a simple way of explaining products and services offered. I will return to this location and work with her whenever I have a question or issue that needs resolving. Thanks Stephany, for being an outstanding employee and offering top-notch customer service.

I try not to go to Verizon often, as I am not technology savvy. I'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff and neither of my phones were working. I am getting ready to have major surgery, plus I've got a contract on my house, so I only had 20 minutes until my next appointment. When I signed in, there were 5 people in front of me. Paul was roaming the store, checking on everyone. I told him that both phones were not working, I have a lot going on, and I had 20 minutes, or I'd come back after my appointment. He helped me right away, fixed both phones, and I was out the door and made my appointment on time!!! What a relief! Kudos to Paul at the Mount Peasant, SC location! He deserves a raise!
P.S. I didn't have a chance to take a selfie with him, since I was in such a time crunch, but next time, Paul. 😎 Thank you.

The service is good, but the customer service sucks! They replaced a brand new defective phone, and told me no charge. Then they added a 329.00 fee for damaged device. The problem was from the get go. Faulty camera, but after 4 different calls and multiple hours on the phone, they state it will take 2 months to reimburse me. Every representative I talked with all stated the charge would be removed, but they all stated different time frames. If you want to get screwed, get Verizon!! I have had them for over 11 years. Once this is sorted out, will not have them much longer!!

This company has serious technical flaws: the app rarely works. It frequently tells me my account, which has three devices, does not have a manager. BUT it drafts my bank account every month. After 2.25 hours on the phone with 5, yes 5, CSRs, I was told I had to open a new account. Their mismanagement consumes the customer’s precious time with no compensation whatsoever. When I said I was now motivated to switch to AT&T they said, “Go ahead.” So I did.

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.

First we have been Verizon customers for years and for the majority of this time sales, service and support has been good. Now for the most recent dealings that have been anything but truthful. We stopped in the local Verizon store in Vero Beach FL (an actual Verizon store) since both our phones were old and just giving out. We simply wanted a phone that was efficient and with a long battery life. The sales professional was courteous enough, and the began to tell us all the response to stay with the plan and that we would lower our monthlies. Even mentioned that the new phones had a full protection for the life of the 3 years that was free. That was a blatant lie, Saturday I received an email that each line was being charged $19 per month for the Asurion protection, yes we canceled immediately. Integrity was not this sales persons intention. Just about making extra commission.

They have no compassion to assist people in natural disaster areas, and continually raise their rates and fees. They have a monopoly in the rural areas which is not right.

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.

Two months ago I disconnected all services with Verizon (our cell phone carrier) and was assured my disconnection was complete and that I would receive no more bills. The next month I get a bill and I call and they say there was one line left connected so that's why you're getting a bill. 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. Stay tuned for next month when I will yet again disconnect the remaining line and pay a third monthly bill from Verizon after disconnecting all services.

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??

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!!!
