We have been with Verizon for over 20 years, since before they took over the old company my husband's pager was through. In that time, we have had one problem after another. With my brother's phone: The store manager had my brother state to him (face-to-face) that he was mentally disabled. (The manager did not believe it when I told him, so my brother had to say it in front of other customers, resulting in him walking out of the store in tears.) With any phone change (i.e. Upgrade), they say the bill won't change, but it always does, resulting in it taking 3 - 4 months for them to straighten it out. This has been with EVERY upgrade, not just one or two. Another time we removed one line from our account and Verizon locked the phone...even though we had paid the phone off in full and fulfilled the 36 month contract. Now, we are being told to renew the military discount. We have been trying for the last 5 days but the system kees saying it cannot verify. I have tried to bring in the military ID card but the store (which is a 3rd party) does not take it. They say it has to be done on line. I have created an ID me acct for the military veteran on our account. It will not verify. So they had me create an ID me acct under my name as military family...and it still will not verify. As I type, I am still sitting on hold for someone to help with this issue (now at 41 minutes) and no one is coming on other than the original rep to say "We are still verifying some things." This company is a joke and I would love to see them out of business!
