Bait and Switch Rip-Off

Posted on: December 18th, 2012 by Mark Hanna

Do not change to Share Everything Plan. They ripped me off. The Verizon service person convinced me it would be best for my plan to switch to the Share Everything plan for my wife and I who had recently upgraded to smart phones. He did not mention in his analysis that the other two emergency only basic phones for my elderly mother and our young children that we had on our current service would go from $9.99/mo each to $35/mo each. The bait and switch tactic they employ is that you only have 15 days to change back to the old plan where we had unlimited data. There is no way we would have known in the 15 days. When we did figure out the deceit, they said we were at fault for waiting so long and that they would change us back but only with a limited data plan. We discontinued our children's phone, switched my mom to a Consumer Cellular phone and marked our calendar with the date we can dump Verizon.

Verizon will rip you off every chance they get.

Posted on: December 13th, 2012 by Eugene Barufkin

Read all these reviews to find out why Verizon is LOOSING 50,000 plus customers PER MONTH!!. This is reported in financial news. Every rip off I read here they are doing to me. My only choice is to stop paying and let them take me to court.

Pay by credit card, not automatic bank draft

Posted on: November 20th, 2012 by Anonymous

My employer provided me with a Verizon phone, so I decided to cancel my personal account. I checked on-line and waited several months until it was out of contract. Then I ported it to Google voice to keep the number without paying a monthly fee. Verizon charged me a $120 early termination fee plus $14 in fees. I called customer service and they said it was a mistake and they would cancel the fee, but never did. When I made repeated calls, they promised to call back within 72 hours but never called back. They do not respond to my letters. They have never refunded the $134. If you have Verizon and pay by automatic bank draft, change your payment method to credit card. That way if they make an unauthorized charge, you can get it reversed. Also if you have a card which pays miles, you will be earning miles or awards. DO NOT AUTHORIZE VERIZON TO MAKE AUTOMATIC BANK DRAFTS FROM YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT. They will make fraudulent drafts from your checking account.

Verizon is a joke

Posted on: October 21st, 2012 by Sonny Burt

I have been with verizon for 8 years and was okay with them until the brought out Alltel. This is were the troubles begin. Everything from bad customer service on prepaid and post pay accounts, to trying to force data packages out to customers, which i did not want. I wanted a month to month plans, because of the features that you get with it. Verizon refuse me and told me I had to be on a contract plan to receive those features. They told me I could to prepaid if I wanted to, which was $20 cheaper than the contract plan but you have to call into customer service to make changes and all. They are getting to big of a company and just want to squeeze money out of the customers

Verizon ripped me off.

Posted on: October 20th, 2012 by Allison Kasey Saffle

I have been with verizon scents Altel sold out to them. My brother wanted the iPhone. He's on my plan and I agreed that's fine. So he got the iPhone 4S, and paid $200. Less then 30 days later the 4s went down to $100. And Verizon refused to give me the rebate. They had no explanation as to why even though it was within the first 30 day. I have had several problems and this is the last straw. We are considering a new phone company

FUCK YOU VERIZON

Posted on: September 6th, 2012 by Mareena Ferretti

So I've been with verizon for 5 year. I haven't had a problem, since i went on my own plan. I put down a $400 deposits. I was never late on a payment! When it came time to give me the deposits back they said no big deal should be at your house it a week. Well since then they used money out of it to pay my last bill before i even received the bill, and now its been two months. I still haven't gotten the money. I call customer service and it take 2 hours they transfer me and hang up and i have to call again. Finallly i go into the store and ask whats going on they tell me it will be there in a week. Another week goes by........... still not here. So to avoid aggravation on the phone i go back in. They say theres nothing they can do they are waiting on this mystery person to send the check and they can't do anything to help me. SO PISSED OFF> NEVER GET VERIZON THEY BALL BIG BALLS!

12 year customer - I AM DONE WITH VERIZON

Posted on: September 5th, 2012 by Anonymous

SHOP AROUND BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON VERIZON. I have been a Verizon customer for well over 12 years. Never had a problem with them..actually, they were (at one time) quite willing to accommodate ANY issue I had with great results. But the last year or so they have become worse then the Wall Street Bankers and Investment Advisors. And it all started with getting a smart-phone. I was told by Verizon rep that if I bought 2 smart phones (which I was going to do anyways as we upgraded our son to a smart phone) that 1 was free (mine) and the other (son's) was discounted price WITH a $50.00 mail-in rebate. Got both phones and called them about the rebate as there were no rebate papers included. It was then that I was informed that NEITHER phone had a special...in other words, charged for both with no rebate. Totalling over $500. As I was disputing this for several weeks with Verizon, it 'appeared' that my account was way overdue. They shut all 3 of our phones off. When I 'came unglued on them in a conversation', they 'gladly' turned them back on...WITH A FREAKIN' RECONNECTION CHARGE. By this time I was boiling. So I inquired about shutting them off and going with another carrier. Well, guess what...wait for it...YES - I could do that - but I had to pay an 'early cancellation fee' for EACH phone. And then my phone malfunctioned. So I had to have a replacement (refurbished) sent and it doesn't work right, but they will not send another refurbished one. I have noticed that in the last 8 months, my phone bill is mysteriously creeping upwards every month. The new thing now with them is the data usage. I originally put the limited data plan on my phone as I don't use it. I only needed it if we were traveling, which was maybe once every 5 or 6 months for a weekend. The last 3 months, they have been charging me for 'overage usage on data'. Hmmm. Considering that I do NOT and did NOT use it I find it difficult to have to pay for it. I am SO done with Verizon. I am definetly switching carriers...but I can't do that until MY contract runs out in December. Is it December yet??? And to think that I have steered many many friends to them. VERIZON....GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE. WE THE CUSTOMERS ARE THE REASON YOU ARE STILL IN BUSINESS. IF YOU DON'T WANT US AS A CUSTOMER, THEN SOMEONE ELSE WILL GLADLY ACCEPT US.

Verizon fucking sucks!

Posted on: August 24th, 2012 by Geoffry Gunawan

I've had my laptop for over half a year now and never had a problem with my broadband modem, not until now! Okay so i do use my wifi on my iPhone and iPad as well, so is that the problem?? Do i have to pay another bullshit fee just so i can use my wifi on my laptop? You gotta be kidding me cause that's just fucking rediculous.. How much of my money do you want? After i get this internet problem fixed, i will be watching for one more mishap, because if something stupid like this happens again i'm done with Verizon, you have my word.
