New plan
May 11, 2022

Spent a long time with verizon I'm the early 2000s. Then switched because I felt customer service was not what it should be for the price. I recently switched back and what a vast improvement. Customer service has been great and my new phone even better

I called Verizon about an upgrade but said I did not want to increase my bill. I was told no problem. I can get 3 new phones and my bill will stay the same. I was told ignore the paperwork I will be able to add the discounts after. I waited and waited. When I got the increased bill I called and told them I was promised no bill increase. They told me they will review the call and get back to me in 24-48 hours. This did not happen. When I called again I was told you are now outside of returns and we are not going to do anything. Verizon is just a bunch of liars and thieves. I have been with Verizon for over 22 years and they lied to me and refused to honor what was said. Terrible morals and ethics

Canceled a extra line 4 times. Called told them I don't use it to remove it. They remove it then in a few months add it back and charge a reconnect fee too. After 4 times went to local store, they made me call Verizon from the store and take it off. It was their screw up not mine but they didn't offer a credit or anything. Paying $100 a month for 1 phone. Been with Verizon for almost 20yrs and im done with them now im shopping around for cheaper.

Sleezbags
March 14, 2016

So I have been using Verizon for a few months now. And I like to stream podcast. Yet my phone is using a gig a minute (is that a possible?) Verizon thinks it's not but yet I am getting a text message every single minute stating my phone is going up a gig. My bill is now $998 this month. (On a 2 person plan) I've talked to multiple different "managers" who are pretty much telling me I am lying. And saying the best they can do is knock $20 off my $998 phone bill. I am beyond livid and they don't seem to care. So forewarning be careful using these sleezy bastards service.

Verizon Lies
February 27, 2024

I called Verizon today regarding the status of my refund for the return of the phone. The refund was supposed to be $760.65. Not only was I on the phone for over 45 minutes but the person I spoke with lied to me saying he put my refund through and he would send me an email with the details, none of which was true. There was no email or refund. So not only does Verizon have the phone I returned but they took the refund too. This is illegal and totally unacceptable!

Verizon, makes there employees push products to customer, so they can get a commission. I called them several years ago to remove this second line product that didn't work properly because it made a static sound & they told me I couldn't remove it because I was in contact so stupid me paid on it for several years also ask employees agent to have this line removed & when canceling service, had texts a chat to investigate, why they never removed my service when, I called to have it terminated! But never got help.

I am a new customer who owns my own business and I missed my first payment due to being hospitalized. I set up a payment arrangement on the phone with their customer service representative agreeing to set up a payment arrangement.

I received a confirmation email and was shocked that my service was shut off without notice 5 days before the agreed upon payment date.

The customer service rep today showed that my service was still operational until her supervisor got on the line and said it had been shut off and no other options until the bill was paid in full, which had already been agreed upon and a confirmation email and text sent to me on Sunday.

Horrible, horrible, horrible service, Verizon.

Huge hassle
October 2, 2022

Verizon Customer Service should be titled Verizon CustomerTorture. It is nearly impossible to speak with a person. If one does then person has no authority to help you. It took me a half day of driving around to finally get to their 'corporate office' where they cancelled the non working account. Verizon lost my number when I tried to transfer from a shared account to my own account. They had billing information and billed me for the deadline for over two months. I had to make a complaint to Oregon consumer fraud. Then Verizon called me. They tried to threaten me with 'proving' the charges were valid. Then she would tell me she was "trying to help me". I believe this is an interrogation technique used on persons suspected of committing a crime. After many many reiterations of 'just stop billing me' she said they would stop. Losing my phone number was a huge hassle by itself. Dealing with Verizon doubled the trouble.

You're asking for it and you're asking for trouble if you go with this company Verizon will add things to your build that don't belong there will lie to you every time you call and you will find yourself fighting for credits and things they have put on your bill that are unauthorized like I have for a year. Do not use this company! If you do you have been warned the cell phone coverage is great but their customer service their supervisors and their integrity sucks. Don't believe me? Go work there. If you have any kind of integrity or morals you will only last about a month. It's awful funny they want you to make good or mistakes that you make on your account but when they make them you have to argue everyone and anybody over and over and over again for months and months and months to get what they have done wrong to your account fixed. If you like dealing with liars and thieves and go right ahead.

20 year customer totally dissatisfied
January 5, 2022

Verizon advertises buy one get one free I phone 13. Go into store, non available. Order two online. Pay for the phone in full. Get bill, it doubles. Call, hour wait. Go into store, can't help you due to buying online. They say go to corporate store, all closed due to "covid". Call again, wait an hour. Promotion over, can't buy one in full and get other free and you have to increase your plan to a premium plan. Store rep quoted, $35 a month per line. Now the customer service rep say you have to purchase $55 a month plan. So I got no benefit from promotion and a higher plan. Best of all, no one can help. They want your money and hire no one to assist.

Verizon streaming, especially Paramount + will drive you to drink. Its just terrible and they lie about it every time you call. They'll blame it in your modem, even replace the modem nothing changes and they will never admit they have a problem. No it's not a mistake, I've had 2 modems and lies over and over and over.

Tech support sucks
January 6, 2022

Their online tech/help support center is horrible. My phone seems to have died and I'm trying to chat with them. They need to send a message to my phone. WTF? Why do idiot companies do this? Might as well not even have a tech support option online. Oh, and no 24/7 customer service center. Way to go Verizon!

When you call Verizon for issue about billing they do not respond correctly when you ask for extension or if an issue arises on payment.Verzion will unless you over the phone and make a stories to harass you about payment. He also text you eight times in form harassment and coercion to make you pay the bill.
Verizon also control your TV by cutting it off with TV interruptions until the bill is paid and do not give you proper information on what you owe by mail and they will send your name to the debt collectors to collect without the federal reporting act law

Verizon
April 23, 2022

I have been with Verizon for 22 years. I've had my business phone with Verizon, and both my now adult children.
Customer service used to be great I traveled a lot for my business and could count on a Verizon office anywhere if I had an issue.
Not anymore. I have always purchased the warranty and received a grey replacement phone if anything went wrong.
The last two times I've had to have my phone replaced, a broken device was sent to me.
Then they charged me for the broken device, that was sent to me broken.

Verizon isn't what it used to be

I am a business woman and depend on my phone. The phone, after 4 years died. I went to their store, Saturday Morning, Snow, at 10 a.m. Guess what? No one there, not open, and it was 10:30 a.m. Verizon claims great customer service, well if you aren't open, that is not good customer service. Customer service rep is not hard, having been one. Just be open when the signs say 10am. I guess I could of called, but then I would of had a working phone...

When my husband died I went to change our plan to just my phone. The guy took my husband's Samsung android an expensive phone that was paid off. I lost all his pictures and everything and I still owed my own phone so I took the plan and then left Verizon for good. This was in 2017. I was in shock because my husband died so suddenly. That phone was mine and I believe the guy kept it.

They offer you a free tablet for 10.00 a month. Then they charge you almost 30.00 a month for it, they is NO escape from the fee. I was lied to, They said 10 a month, they have been charging me just under 30 a month for it. SCAM. Don't fall for it, they lie…They will do nothing about it either, your stuck paying….
