Update: Wednesday I spoke to customer care Stephanie she was huge help she said then it is not a warranty replacement that they can do an in-house claim and definitely do it. She reweighed into tech-support with a supervisor.

I guess she told them the story and then put me on the phone with them. She told him my account number and she pulled it up and the lady said we did an in-house claim you’re going to be getting it on the 29th and we’re gonna be replacing you with a new one is one time is said thank you so much she gave me an order number which is fake she also gave me a ticket number cause I asked her to open it so I can get in touch with escalations and the executive department and she gave me a fake one. There’s only notes on the customer care side with Stephanie but it has no at all notes with the tech-support supervisor saying any of this, but yet nobody still wants to pull up the call last week when the tech-support lady had her manager pull up the call where I was promised the new phone they told me to wait 72 hours and if you did not hear from the manager or anybody else to give us a call and I did and all I got was guess what another refurbished and then mocking at me and then today when I called in about the Wednesday call they said there’s no order number no number and they don’t seem to want to pull up the call and see that this Wednesday that lady gave me all of this and no one‘s being held responsible and then on Monday the guy is mocking me asking me about my grandpa who is dead telling me that he must’ve had my number that’s now attached to this corporate account when he was alive when I told him I opened up the number in 2017 or 2019. It’s like insane that I actually now have recorded every call and today I was told well that’s weird ma’am they don’t usually call up the calls unless it’s about a crime and that it Hass to be investigated you know through the cops since I’ve been here for about 11 to 12 years the manager calls me back and he says I’m gonna pull up these calls and I’m gonna talk to Stephanie and I’m definitely gonna get back to you and I told him well.

You know you have a guy who’s following you know this phone call because he wants to know what to do in this situation and he was the one that told me and mocked me saying that they never listen to calls but you’re telling me that you’re gonna pull calls, so which is it? Are you guys just saying it just asked me and when am I gonna get you know anything updated or known back give me till Monday morning I said you know what I said.

I already am lowering up. I’m already pissed off consumer because you guys don’t do anything you’re not gonna call so another disappointing call from Verizon and I’m trying to scam me my grandma.

Original review Mar 25, 2024
Been calling for over a year and a half about my account being hacked and it been giving me issues with my phone I have overwhelming amount of evidence tech support has acknowledged it hasnt done anything been promised diff things and still has not been taken care of Im disgusted with how I been treated. I changed my number almost a year ago due to the hacking and then they tell me now since I changed it that its linked to a corporate account and business guy told me he was vey concerned upon checking the number back in feb and told me to report to tips.fbi.gov.

Brought up my grandfathers name today saying theres another line on the account saying Arthur I told him hes been dead for almost 20 years and that we never owned an iPhone 12 Pro Max frauds department is rude n mocked me.

Im told Im getting new phone then got reburished its been a headache Im tired and exhausted I been trying to reach executive relations team I spoke with a lawyer its an open shut case they said I have a very good case with them. It also says my grandpa name not mine for my phone and hes again not alive

Cons:
  • Terrible customer service always

Preferred solution: What was honored and that was a replacement iPhone 14 new not reburished like told I was. an apology and my account n old number investigated

User's recommendation: They are not the same Verizon they once were

Terrible service at the Mequon WI store. Waited an hour before walking out

meself

you ronly course of action that will help in anyway is to file a complaint with the better business buruea and or state attorney general office the reps you speak to have no accountability and will lie to get you off the phone these are the same people who will lie and or use as a excuse to do nothing for " we have no record of this" "the rep mispoke" the rep lied wink wink whatever will help or benefit you they cant find, but will find in a split second anything that helps them with there denials

Uncontactable

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have been a customer for 5 years now. This is the first time of many that I got past all the recordings to speak to a human.

We had already been to a corporate store to activate another line.

I was told by customer service that if I went to a store they would give me a Sim for the new phone. What should have been a free Sim and a $5 charge to add a line ended up costing me $85 and the phone still isn't working.

Bill raised

I spoked to a representative around October or November of 2024 regarding my bill being raised from 105 to 120 a month and asked if I could reduce it due to money issues, so I was given the option of taking off the hot spot and do I did and that brought my bill down to 70 a month. This charge only lasted for 2 months and then I got a message stating my bill was going up to 90 dollars but it didnt specify why so I called again and the representative stated he would bring it down and I told him about my request not to have hot spot, so that I could keep a set rate ongoing so that way I can budget my money.

I had Verizon for a long time and I find interesting that when I get a set rate close to 100 a month, the company doesnt mess with it since I have automatic pay, but once I find a way through you guys to reduced it it is only kept for 2 months and then your company finds a way to hike it up again close to 100. Therefore I told the representative that I dont wanna to be calling every other month to negotiate my bill, after I asked to be taken off what I dont want so that I can keep a bill I am able to pay off within my means. As a client I think I should be able to keep what I can pay within the limits of what I been offered by your company, it is my hope that you read my message and hopefully your company can consider longtime customers and offer ways to maintain their needs without changing the rates every time a rates goes down to about 60 or 70 a month, which may not be convenient for your company since it is not a lot of money, or maybe not offer those rates so the customer than can choose whether to stay with your company or move with other company.

It is my hope you understand that nowadays everything is expensive and as a customer I should be able to keep only what I need, what I can pay for and so forth. Your attention is appreciated

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Didnt do a proper background check on whoever stole my identity and charge over $3000. I need it removed from my credit report went to a Verizon wireless store.

They said they could not help because it went to collections. I have never had an account with Horizon wireless

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I don't understand why I could get through to anyone. Still haven't heard from anyone.

I was really expecting a call back. And going in to the stores is no better.

I wanted to add STARZ to my bundle and representative didnt know what STARZ was and stated she didnt think I could get it. then decided I could and it would cost $ 75.09.

, no then she thought $10.00!!! After a very long phone call with many spans of representative being away from the conversation I requested to speak to a supervisor.

I was told I would be transferred to a supervisor but the call was dropped. At tnis time I was on the call for about 45 minutes and had accomplished nothing!!!

Unauthorized transaction

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I left Verizon and switched to a different carrier. In seven years Verizon has never charged my card.

I have always used the app to pay anything. As I stated earlier, Im no longer a Verizon customer but that did not stop them from charging my card $254.13 on a Holiday when I cant even get a hold of my bank. Heres where it gets even better; Verizon will only give me a refund if I pay $254.13 with another card. I have previously spoken to the financial department that I would pay off my remaining balance of a cell phone no problem because I dont want that on my credit.

I guess since Ive left Verizon they figured they would illegally charge my card without my authorization. I have Never been done this way in any financial situation.

That was wrong! My conscious would bother me if I did that to anyone.

Long time customer...raising rates..not the only rodeo in town

Raised my monthly $5. Now only 5 instead of 10 for auto pay.

Called ,was told I would be credited for the 5...never happened. Not pissed, just went to another provider.

It's cheaper(better business sence)to keep good customers than market for new ones. Can you hear me now?

Asking lots of unnecessary information

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Direct helping with an issue instead of asking so many unrelated information.

For example why should I be given certain number of characters before I send my evaluation?
