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

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

Paid my bill phone still not on!!!!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Mar 10, 2024

You shut my new service & new phone off because I wasn't using it . I hadn't used it yet because I was in the when I returned from the hospital I had gotten several letters in the mail stating it was going to be disconnected if not used .

It was already shut off when I got back from the hospital & opened my mail. I called in about it when I got back from the hospital & the fraud department said it was off because I owed a payment & not because I didn't use it! I never even used the phone Verizon deactivated it & STILL billed me in full! for the month!

! I PAID it in full on Friday & my phone still can only be used for emergencies! It says it's not registered with a provider!!! This makes zero sense since the lady at the fraud department said as soon as payment was received it would only be up to 24 hrs & it would be back on.

It's been well over 24hrs & still not back on! Also this phone was supposed to be free with a new service agreement!

I did not receive it for free & I am paying full price for the new S24 that the majority of ppl are getting free! I am beyond pissed on many levels at this point!

regardless of the situation you do need to pay the bills , so the discontinuation of service was a result of that not being you will need to pay the bill for service and if possibe maybe pay ahead to avoid the issue

20 years with Vz. Shopping for new provider.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Verizon Wireless - 20 years with Vz. Shopping for new provider.

Fed up with Verizon, After 20 years of continued service with 9 lines on my plan I find it painful to deal (in anyway) with this company whether it's the useless bots that you have to deal with for 15-20 minutes prior to speaking with an actual Human on the phone, to the coverage of your cell dropping (brand new phone) every time I enter a building in Miami thus the reason I got the new phone in the first place. But now, I have been waiting for a box to send in this faulty Home internet modem back and four different times they have not sent anything but yet charge me for not returning the item.

Well today I came unglued on Nisha, so we will see if this box makes it to the address that hasn't changed in the last ten years. Anyway I added the last however many billing cycles but there won't be much more.

So here's some Pro's...the most minimal human interaction in regards to this company if that's your thing.

Not mine but couldn't think of anything else.

So the Con's...coverage great outside but go into any type of structure and you now have the coolest paperweight around. You need help, you'll get it after you push the 8-9 prompts just to be placed on hold or give you a call back with the average wait time of 15 minutes.

Anyway good luck everyone

Cons:

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

I bought a financing Iphone 15 pro max with verizon wireless but before 14 days I returned the phone, first thing I made is calling customer service in order to ask them how to do the return.

The agent explain me that I have to reset the phone and delete the e-sim. I did eveything like they told me he even sent me a return label.

Two days later I received an email from verizon wireless telling me that they have received my returned item successfully and 5 days later they refund me the money that I paid them.

Now they harassing me with message that I have an unpaid balance when I called they even said their agent made a mistake he did not terminated my service and they are very sorry. But they still want me to pay or otherwise they gonnna make report to credit bureau.

New Phone issues

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

I didn't use my new phone, so Verizon thought it was stolen. The Fraud department shut my phone down after only having it 2 weeks & I hadn't used it due to being sick.

They lied & said I didn't pay my bill that's why it was shut off. I only had the phone & service for 2 weeks & my bill wasn't due yet!

My phone was also supposed to be free because it was a new service. They are charging me for the new phone!

Verizon wireless is still harassing me with the 3 Rd collection agency

Original review Feb 22, 2024
March 2022 I was sent a pre-owned device and charged the entire cost of a new device. From Verizon wireless it was a
Samsung Galaxy ultra 22 5 g
It wouldn't hold a charge, software updates were beyond reliable, screen jumping around and battery draining completely.

Dropped calls. Static, disconnecting etc
Over 1 year of daily communication with Verizon wireless making deals and promises they were not honored.
Verizon wireless caused me so anguish and grief that I got very sick.
This is the short version
Just yesterday they have now sent the bill to the 3 Rd collection company I was a 13 years
Verizon wireless loyal consumer.
They ripped me off and stole parts of my life.
Unreliable device.
Unreliable resolution
Never again.

I had ANOTHER iPhone stop working on meonly bought it 6 months ago. I bought a new iPhone 15 online with almost zero help from representatives.

Over three days and eight reps, my confirmation of terms and conditions would NOT go through.

VZW kept saying The problem seems to be on our end. I am bedridden (stage 4 cancer) and live aloneso I couldnt get to a retail store. One rep named Joey was getting frustrated with meHe was frustrated?" He actually said You sound old.

Is there someone who has power of attorney who I can talk to? Joey said he didnt understand why I was upset by his comments!

there is a set amount of time you will need to have service with verizon or any of the others for that matter ( it varys),i believe its 60 days of service before you can port out your number I.e. have it unlocked if its been less time than that you will most likley not be able to port out or have the phone unlocked

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

I hate this company with a passon! I was a customer for 19 years and they did absolutely nothing for me as a loyal customer.

Its was always a fight to get any type of deal and I always lost. For years I watched them give new customers free phones, gift cards etc and I got nothing. I finally had enough and signed up with MINT 2 months ago and i am so sorry i didn't make the move when i first heard about Ryan Reynolds and Mint.

It was such an easy transfer and I am paying $45 for 6 months and then $15 a month after that. I got 5G and have no problem, great service that checks up on things regularly, free talk and text and no problem with dead zones.

Why did I wait so long? i guess its always tough to make the move since you never know what you are going to. Well i made a great move. So i called Verizon and they told me i have a prorated credit of $40...then sure enough..i got a bill for $120.

called again and they told me if you go with another carrier you have to pay the full month on your last bill and then there is the credit they took back because my husbands phone wasn't 3 years old.

Once again...a customer for 19 years, home and phone service and they would not waive that. There are only 2 words i have to say to them and i can't say it here...so good riddance Verizon!!!

so because i had a $120 balance and not -$40 like they told me and I didnt pay the balance immediately, they turned me over to collections...now they won't get a cent from me. i don't care about my credit score which is 740 anyway....i pay cash for everything so *** you Verizon!

customer loyalty means nothing it seems now adays these "free" phones often come with a higher monthly plan price or new service added to it ( i.e. you pay more)
