    Horrible customer service that has gotten even worse. I have had Business accounts, post paid accounts and pre-paid accounts (which is the cheapest for the same service) with them. Call any number and a bot insists on helping and you end up going in circles with the bot after having to listen to lengthy messages about how they are here to help. After long bot engagements you get to a customer rep who then transfers you and you go in circles again with the reps who then tell you to call the number you just called.

    After insisting to talk to the supervisor with 2 different reps (1st rep said cannot open your account so cannot transfer you to a supervisor) Finally get to the supervisor who says, I have to transfer you to the other dept because I cannot open this account. After challenging him to even try, he got it open then solved the issue. But no apology, nothing. And all of that was for an error with Verizon who gave me full credit for the bill. 1 hour of my time for their mistake. Case: **. Supervisor Cristen. spelling may be off. This experience has been consistent with business account, post paid account, and prepaid account. If you can, never use Verizon.

    They increase bills with no warning or notice! And then claim they need 2+weeks to find you a loyalty discount to bring your bill back down to the amount you agreed to pay in the first place. Definitely not good for people who budget their money.

    Overall, I have been having very poor service, I get one bar (barely) and get horrible connection if I get any better. Further, I frequently do not receive calls and messages during important times making me miss work calls and calls from my family and access OTP's. Overall, I have had the worst experience with Verizon and its connection. Thankfully, I have a second phone with AT&T that gets me data at different spots where I get nothing with Verizon, 10/10 would never recommend Verizon.

    After 20-plus years of loyalty, they have really gone downhill in customer service area, to say the least. It's terrible to get in touch with an agent. Then, when you do, finally reach an agent, they are poorly trained and have no idea what is going on. They quote me an email that I haven't used in 20 years. They said it was the only email they had, yet I received an email when I just paid my current bill. Crazy!! They refuse to say they're wrong; they say, "You don't need to worry." YES, I need to worry when I get incorrect information! All I was doing was removing international calling, which I had put on for a vacation. Nothing else. They made me change my Verizon plan, call back to change it back after my trip. REALLY??

    And after 20+ years of loyalty, this is extremely disappointing and frustrating. They should say how long you want the international call put on for, then have it scheduled to come off, not make you call back! Verizon, shape up!! You're going to start losing customers! Look at your reviews! I'm not the only person giving you a bad review. The event should be a straightforward turn-on and turn-off. If a customer wants it permanently, then put it on. If they need it for a week, put it on for a week!

    I was with Verizon for 25+ years with 5 or more phones on the plan. Their customer service went downhill quickly. Once customer service was outsourced overseas it was pretty much impossible to get good customer service. They are heavily marketing their increased attention to customer service but this is not the case at all. Back in the day, they were attentive and willing to help solve issues. Today, you get a different answer every day. So beware, customer service is non existent with Verizon, you will be a small fish in the sea to fend for yourself.

    Every time I called, I was given a different price. The staff are poorly trained, and I had to repeat my information over and over. When they want to charge you, they find your account instantly, but if you have a problem, suddenly they “can’t find it.” It took over an hour to try to resolve a simple issue, and nothing ever got fixed. My account was never even properly started, I decided to cancel the business account. They told me to return the router and phone I never used. I sent them back with proof, but they keep claiming they never received them.

    To make things worse, I have acquaintances who had their router removed by the company’s own technician—yet they were still charged. It was a huge headache for them too! I’ve wasted enough time and energy—I’ll be disputing the charges with my bank and considering legal action. Save yourself the headache and stay far away from this company!

    Be very wary of Verizon. We switched carriers to T-mobile, (which I’ve been very impressed with their coverage and their customer service) at which time we still owe some money on phones to Verizon. We were sent an email not an invoice saying we owed a certain amount left on the phones and we had till the 28th to pay them off, but I got up on a Sunday and they had already pulled the money out of my account 8 days early which was a substantial amount without any kind of invoice proving what we still owe on the phones and we were also misled on when they were going to have 5G out in our area when we first signed up, so be very wary of Verizon and their business practices

    Verizon has been a complete nightmare. I was misled from the start at a so-called Verizon store that never disclosed they were not an actual Verizon-owned location. Only later did I realize it was an “authorized retailer,” and by then I had already signed up for a plan under false pretenses. The plan costs I was promised were never honored. My bill has been different every single month, and I still haven’t received the discounts or reimbursements I was guaranteed. On top of that, the coverage is weak, and customer service has done nothing to resolve the issues.

    I feel deceived and outright scammed. Verizon allowing these independent stores to masquerade as “real” Verizon locations is dishonest and unfair to customers. For such a large carrier, it’s shocking how little integrity and accountability there seems to be. I would strongly warn anyone considering Verizon: be extremely cautious, especially if the store doesn’t make it crystal clear that it is not a corporate Verizon location.

I really feel like She knows about the fraudulent things they do over there, because it's like she wants nothing to do with it! I hadn't seen her since she told Me when He'd be there, so that We ALL could get together and talk about it. I went back and had to deal with Him Only! God only knows where She was, She wouldn't come out. He lied about things He told Her. He LIED and said that after My purchase of the phones, that I came back and got an iPad, is what He told Her. When asked about it, He denied telling Her that. Then He started deflecting, talking about the bill, how He was going to have it lowered etc. because of the iPad.

    By now the bill was so high, I refuse to pay for something I didn't get! So now He's supposed to be looking into it. He called Me and said that it had been fraud and to give Him 5-7 days to get the video. So He said in the meantime He'd get My bill cleared, and turn My phones back on. He said that I had to come to the store in order to do it. I go to the store, only to have AN OFFICER come out and tell Me that I COULD NOT come back over there!!! UNBELIEVABLE, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!! I was not rude or anything, that came out of nowhere. I call customer service, I REALLY want My phones back on!!

I called in again and this time refused to be redirected to chat. I spoke to a representative for over an hour only to find that they are doubling down and now say I will get no credit and owe for the $80 overage charge. I explained that I switched to unlimited data on the day the overage happened and was told I would have no charges. He said that did not matter. Ok.

Do not purchase their so-called ‘deals.’ They never keep their word, even when you have written transcripts of chats and conversations.

    I had the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had today with Verizon. I had someone fraudulently purchase two phones on my account, this was verified by Verizon. I paid my normal monthly bill and left the balance on my account and turned my auto pay off (as directed by a Verizon rep). Verizon then took the additional money out of my account today, with my auto pay turned off. I started a support chat, spent four hours chatting, as reps (6) would conveniently get disconnected so I’d have to start over with my chats.

    I was told things like, you should be getting an email explaining the next steps in your refund (never got an email) and they stood countlessly that it would be resolved today (it was not). They ended with a “there’s nothing we can do” and “call back in two weeks and request a refund”. The depths of ineptitude these people displayed was, frankly, embarrassing. Sitting here still with no resolve. I ask after decades with this company, what will keep me with them…. Do better, Verizon. Sincerely, an unvalued customer (for now).

    Verizon is going down the drain. I missed a payment, accidently, for a difference of $28. I previously called to verify the amount of my payment arrangement and the representative told me that I had the correct amount for the first part. The remaining is due on September 25th. When I called to use the automated system to reach an agent, the system said something smart and disconnected my call. It told me that since I "failed" to make my first arrangement, no one could help me and I have to pay on the app. I was not calling to try to get a new arrangement. I was calling to get clarification that I did not pay the full amount of the arrangement. I did not tell the system my number the 2nd time and it let me thru.

    Here is the thing. They are ALWAYS telling me thank you for being a customer for over 20 years. They are extremely expensive, but I have stayed with them. I even work for their competitor, but I kept Verizon. I am at the point that I am looking to drop them, since customers, especially long term customers, are treated like this. That is not a way to do business. Furthermore, paying with a representative is $10. I understand $3 - $5, but that is ridiculous. I paid with the representative just to be sure I did not have any further issues. Verizon is about to be on the chopping block. WORST SERVICE EVER!

    I have had two cell phone lines on Verizon for going on 28 years. I pay about $200 a month. Recently had to add an internet hotspot. I was promised unlimited internet and a bill less than my cell service. Not only is the “unlimited internet” an outright falsehood, but when I called to cancel they say it’s unlimited in that they are providing it, but after 150mbs it goes down to slow speed. Well, 10 days with good internet, then 20 with absolutely unusable service. So I called to cancel. Omg… I’m 66 years old and I’ve NEVER HAD WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They kept transferring me and saying they could not hear me, as soon as I told them I wanted to cancel. Then they’d call back saying the same thing, so now I have people calling me, beeping the line while I’m trying to get someone to hear me.

    Then a supervisor calls me. He tells me he knows there’s an issue, but he talks over me the whole time. When I tell him I may have to cancel my cell lines, he starts with the I can’t hear you. And wanting permission to use my recorded call for something. I’m saying, "I asked you a question which you answered so you must hear me!" No one would listen. They either kept talking over me or cut me off. Then I was told I had a contract. I said no one ever mentioned a contract OR a speed so slow it’s unusable. He said maybe he could get me out of the contract but could he use my recorded conversation? But then he’d go back to saying I had a contract and if I tried to tell him I’d been with Verizon for 28 years; he couldn’t hear me.

    It was emotionally upsetting. I kept my voice calm and said, "I just want help canceling my internet, please." It was like being in the Twilight Zone. Never in my 66 years have I been treated so badly on a service call. So, if it’s not resolved I suppose I’ll have to go to the store. I have perfect credit and don’t want it to be affected, so I’ll most likely have to just pay whatever. They’ve had my automatic payment info for a very long time, so I had to remove that.

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

Sometimes they would answer the phone, take my information, asked me to hold on and never return to the phone. I find them very disrespectful, unprofessional and downright rude. I will never recommend them to anyone. No wonder customers and exiting their lousy services.

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

    Wish that I can give zero stars to this company. I will never ever use Verizon again. I had them for the last couple years. They’ve been pretty good, but I recently moved and the phone didn’t work good at my home. I didn’t know that wireless Internet was gonna work well if I had I probably wouldn’t of switched, but when I switched, then I found out that I was gonna have a larger payout on my phone because they were taken away all the discounts because I was leaving before 36 months. They tell you no contract, but they lied about that because you actually are in the contract, cause if you get a phone, if you leave before 36 months, they take away any discounts they give you. I was never told this because they don’t have a damn storm at town.

    They usually use third-party vendors, they’re not gonna tell you shit because they want you to buy the phone and sign up with them. That’s how they make their money executive relations committee. It always been very helpful, but now they’ve gotten shitty. They pass the buck onto somebody else. I wasn’t talking to the same person. He sent it to an old email despite the fact that I contacted him on a new email he made a big thing about my name. I go by my middle name, not my first name, but they put my first name on the account.

    I moved from IL to WI in Jan 2025. I noticed that my bill increased and went online to discover that I was being taxed for my previous state and county as well as my current state and county. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to remedy this and was told it would be taken care of. 2 months later I noted that the bill was still high and found they never took the previous state and county off of my bill.

    I called again and spoke to Jess at customer service who told me her supervisor said that because I was calling to the IL are that they could charge me for that area as a primary use for taxes. Then why am I being charged for WI county and state taxes as well? They could not answer that and insisted on charging me double tax. I called Mint Mobile and asked them that if I call IL for the majority of my calls, would I be charged for the taxes in that area as well and they assured me that they only charge for my billing address for state and county taxes.

    Have been a Verizon cellular customer in excess of eight years. The past 2 years we have experienced such terrible cell service and mobile data that I simply cannot perform my job remotely anymore. I have Spectrum internet and find myself waiting until I can use my own WiFi or free WiFi to transfer photos, listen to my YouTube music library or use google maps. I was lost several states from home and my data was so spotty I had to drive a half hour in an assumed direction to find service. Today my phone is incapable of texting a single photo. I have recently changed my setting to send all texts as SMS and this was initially helping but has salad stopped working.

    It’s unfortunate how badly they have let things slide because when we first had it, the service was flawless at all times in all places. I called customer service and they guided me to some network setting changes which had no beneficial effect whatsoever. The service is extremely overpriced and I used to be happy to pay it because it was so reliable. I will absolutely not be continuing using Verizon.

    I had Verizon Wireless phone serve for many years. Their prices kept rising while their competitors offered better deals. We cancelled their service and switched to a service exactly the same for half the price. Verizon was notified of the cancellation, but continued to debit our auto payment bank. We made numerous calls to their Customer Service lines and the staff was horrible and didn't handle our request. Eventually we went to Verizon Store and were told that it would be taken care of and we would get a refund. We just received another bill with late charges and a bank cancellation fee.

    When I called their Customer Service Department the employee was rude and refused to help...he just kept saying the "bill is correct" despite me asking what the bill was for. We had no contract, or at least the one we had had long expired. I have never dealt with such bad customer service or rude employees who are completely untrained.

    Verizon Customer Service is now using AI combined with automated. It’s an obstacle to try and get past the automated lines. When you ask for customer service it goes back into automation. When it can’t figure out what you need it tells you to call back. After numerous calls and different numbers I finally got a live agent and explained the situation. I’m trying to pay the bill but the way you have it set up you can’t pay it without an account number although you sent the email bill. It goes into a general site and asks for the info that’s now locked in your old account.

    I switched to another carrier and a final bill came but they had already locked me out of the Verizon account and you need your account number to pay and there is no way without it so how do you pay the bill….Makes no sense. They can’t give that info over the phone but require the account number to go forward. Since I went paperless it’s not on there. Only the partial account. They require one thing but you can’t access it because they won’t provide the info. I had to request a paper account bill but there is an additional fee.

    If I could give zero stars I would. I have been a single Verizon user for years. Since it is more beneficial financially to be on a group plan I decided to join a family member on another carrier to alleviate some of that financial burden. The day that my phone was moved over Verizon removed my access to my online account. I no longer had access to my bills. I no longer had access to my contracts. I did not even have access to my account number. My new carrier needed to know the amount that was owed on my phone and I couldn't get a bill to show the amount. When I called Verizon to get them to email me my bill they wouldn't do it. They said they were only able to mail it to me. Ok, fine. Except they wanted to charge me $2 to give me access to my bill. Since that is illegal I went to the BBB to get some help with the issue.

    After reporting the issue with the BBB I get an email less than 24 hours later from Verizon's Executive Relations apologizing for the mishap, said that they should not have charged me the $2, that was incorrect, and immediately emailed me a copy of my bill. As I waited for my new carrier to send me the prepaid card for the amount on my card, Verizon auto-debited the remainder of the phone from my account despite, remember, taking away my access to my account so that I could not update my auto pay preferences. I called Verizon once again and explained the situation and the representative on the call said they would reverse it and that I would need to wait 7-10 business days for the refund.

    10 business days later it wasn't reversed so I called again and was told that it wouldn't be done and they couldn't reverse it because it had been more than 2 weeks since they originally took the money from me. I understand that I left Verizon, but this experience has left me flabbergasted at their lack of consumer protections. Taking away my access to my account and bills and preferences the day I move to another company is so beyond petty and then taking the money automatically despite taking away my ability to update my preferences is so beyond shady - it leans into criminal. Verizon is no longer the best network. It's not the cheapest. I should have left years ago.

I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon May of 2025 and got new Samsung devices, the promotion they were having made them free. Each month the amount for the devices was credited to each item on my bill and I only hade to pay for the plan. We decided we didn’t like Samsung and wanted to switch to iPhones, we had them for a week. They had the same promotion for the credits so it would equal out to the same amount charged monthly. We had to pay the taxes on for both Samsung and Apple devices but returned the Samsungs and would be credited back over $350 for the taxes we paid.

    We still have not received the refund and it is now the end of August. Every month our bill changes by $60 to $100 more than we originally signed to pay. I have called a minimum of 8 times in 3 months and spent well over 10 hours on the phone with customer service and had to explain the situation every call, even though they tell me they’re making notes on the account so I don’t have to run through the timeline again. They always say there’s no notes, or the request was actually never submitted by the previous representative. The cell service is also worse than we had with T-Mobile. Calls sound like they’re under water and there are dead zones I never experienced with T-Mobile.

    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.

Plus he told me yesterday’s he would work on it and call me back in 2-3 hours and he did not! Today while trying to get it hooked back up they put me on hold for 5 minutes while trying to connect me to the business department.

    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.

    DO NOT SIGN up for Verizon services. The more I read reviews, the more I realized I've been strung along and scammed. I've been a client for over 20 years. I just spoke with a supervisor (Summer), what a joke. After almost an hour on the phone. It appears I was disconnected and no call back. My bill was consistent for years and I never had issues until Dec 2024 when I made a slight plan upgrade for 1 week to accommodate being in international waters on a cruise. Since then I've had reps tell me they were doing the best for me and ended up putting me on lower plans to save $$ but with compromised service.

    My bill was consistently $230/month and now I'm fighting a $398 bill!! I've removed services from my Verizon plan like Disney/Hulu and Google game play pass in efforts to lower my bill less than $230/month. I have the same service plan as it was back in 2024 and yet now they are showing $250/month even with removing services! I've spent hours trying to get this resolved and I'm done.

I 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. So there are so many better offers out there and with no contract.

    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 was a satisfied Verizon customer for many years until a few months ago, when I foolishly accepted their offer of a "free" phone. I was assured that I would still be paying $73 a month, after a few incidental fees. In no time, my monthly bill went up to $101 with no explanation. Even when I visited a Verizon store, I didn't get an explanation that made sense. So I moved to another carrier as fast as I could. I now must pay Verizon $559.02 for a "free" phone that I hadn't actually thought of buying. Do NOT accept an offer of a free phone from this company.

    We saw an ad for a free phone upgrade (with a trade-in) and decided to get it for our daughter. The people at the Verizon store (at Georgetown Square in Bethesda Maryland) said that it would be free. However, we were immediately billed by Verizon for the device. Based on the billing the phone will now cost us (23.33 per month) a total of $839!! I called them and they corrected it for one month and then we started getting billed for it again the next month. I called again today and they offered us some overpriced plan in exchange for removing the device. Well, to heck with that! They clearly lied about it and will not fix the situation. I don't mind paying for good service, but I will not tolerate being cheated. So, after 15 years as a Verizon Wireless Customer we are saying good-bye and not looking back.

    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.

I had some international charges that were racked up by my kids and when I called to express how frustrating it is for them not to let the account holder know that one of your lines is accruing charges for 7 days, they completely understood and told me they would give me a refund, but I needed to call back when my bill hit. I called them back, again I was told they would refund me, but I should call back in a week right before my payment went through. Then when I called again, it was too late. I was to wait until my next bill and call back.

    I called again and was told that a 'supervisor' would refund me some of the international charges but they would call me back by the end of the day. Then when they never called, I called again, finally spoke to a supervisor who said my request was denied a month ago and it was in my notes that nothing could be done. How frustrating that Verizon wasted so much of my time on hold and requesting call backs and talking to random people.

    I switched to Verizon in 2/2025 and it is now 7/21/2025. When I set up new service with them. It was for 2 new phones and a watch. On the first billing, I was being charged for 4 phones and 4 different lines. I immediately contact verizon, and tried to resolve this matter. Each call in chat session. I was guaranteed that I was connected with, but the right person who is going to resolve all of my problems. After hours of being on the phone I would be disconnected. I would try again and the same result after hours of being on hold, and they were asking their supervisor to clear the charges, they would disconnect my call.

    Finally, my service was suspended because I did not have $2000 to pay for the two lines and phones, they erroneously added to my account. I made a payment arrangement to buy more time. So I could contact them to resolve this matter. Again, after hours of being on the phone or chat sessions nothing was resolved. I would put in a request order. 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 have researched phone numbers for accounting and they all lead to the same phone number. I even used a friend's phone so they could not identify the phone number. 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. My suggestion to anybody reading this review, take it to heart and save yourself a lot of time in energy and frustration, just in case you're caught in the same position I'm in.

    I was told by the Verizon rep that when we switched from our current carrier to them our account would be paid off and I would get a free upgraded phone. As it turned out, they only pay off the amount owed on the phone and DO NOT pay off the other carrier to get me out of the contract as I was led to believe. I had to pay Verizon $250 to switch up front and got a bill in two weeks for another $250! The "Free Phone" turned out not to be free, but locked me into a three year contract with them, where they "paid" me $36/month credit on my bill which covered the cost of the "free" phone.

    We were supposed to get a rebate for moving to them, that was screwed up at the store. The rep never sent the rebate info in. When we went in two months later to find out where the rebate was (which they first said it would be a physical debit card mailed to me) and found the rebate is a virtual card THAT WE STILL DON'T HAVE! They also said the contract would be paid off at my old carrier, which wasn't true. I ended up having to front that cost as well. Right now, I'm about $2,000 into a "free" phone.

    Went into the store today and the girl that set it up in the first place told me that she said we wouldn't the rebate for 4-8 weeks (been three months) and was very rude. They now said I'd get the rebate on the 26th of July, which is over 90 days from the first promise. She made a big deal counting the days off on her fingers as if I was retarded. We will see.

    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. If you care about your credit and your rights as a consumer, be very careful before doing business with Verizon.

The last straw was I picked up a Galaxy Z fold 4. It was the novelty of the device. I was given 1000 credit from Samsung. So I had to pay 1000 for the new phone. 2 months having the phone I hated it. The front screen was way too small the large screen was way too large. I got this phone because it was flat and I could get a tempered glass screen that wouldn't break easily.

    When I went back to see my options I was told that I could pay off the phone in full and get another phone. What I want told is that I would lose the credit and have to pay the full price of the phone. I wouldn't get my old device back. I was pretty upset but I made the decision to keep the phone in hated for 2 years. In that 2 years my bill went up from 269 a month to 303 a month with no real explanation. I ended up with 3 month left paying off my other phones and doing a transfer payoff from another company which I should have only had to pay 160 and the accounts should have been closed.

    I called as soon as I did a transfer of lines to another company and they told me that all the lines were closed all I had to do is pay off the buy out phone. I was presented a bill of 263 via email. 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.

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.

    Their online chat is a joke. My 1 year old could do a better job. Tonight I've been on the chat for over 2 hours and they still haven't addressed my SIMPLE issue which is they overcharged me $82.90. The chat switched hands about an hour in and I had to start over with the new person. What county are these people in!?!?
