Verizon is TERRIBLE!!!

Posted on: August 22nd, 2012 by James Sartor

Had Verizon 2 months. Phone wouldn't work with my Ford Sync; emails sent to me took a couple of days to get to my phone and then they came in a bunch. People at store didn't know how phone worked, didn't have a clue whether it would even work with Sync but one person did offer to buy the phone from me. Slightly illegal I believe. In summary, two months was too much. Am gladly paying their extortion money of $350 to get out of my plan early. Went to Sprint store; got great service; they synced my phone for me and gave me an AAA member discount and a trade in value for my Verizon phone. Down with Verizon!!!!

Shady and dishonest - keep good records you may need a lawyer

Posted on: August 14th, 2012 by Anonymous

Print screen all your online account billing and contract information! If you don't they will change your information to reflect and benefit their pocket books. I went in store and called Verizon directly to confirm that my contract ended, they both said Yes and you can upgrade your phone if you want to renew your contract. Verizon did not have a plan that would meet my financial needs so I cancelled my service. They then told me that my final bill would be mailed to me and would include a $150 cancellation fee and were going to charge me through the end of the month (billing cycle). They had already instantly cancelled my online access to my account and shut my phone off the day I was in there ? I had no access to Verizon whatsoever at that point, but they still were billing me for service I was NOT getting! Apparently Verizon is too big of a company and their executives are more concerned with lining their pockets than being honest with the public! Watch out all new customers and current customers who think they?re no longer under contract!

Verizon does not care to keep customer after bad experience

Posted on: August 9th, 2012 by Adrienne Hock Shivers

Had a bad experience in Las Vegas retail store, corp customer service, while sympathetic, was not helpful. Win Back department not willing to be responsible for poor service. Retail store would not sell any phone under $350.00 even though many were on display. Verizon refuses to match competitor offer and is still trying to charge early termination fees despite emoployees refusal to sell their own phones.

2 year waiting period for long term LOYAL customers, that is rediculous

Posted on: July 22nd, 2012 by Sara Elizabeth Feuerstein

I guess only new customers are important to Verizon,I guess we need to switch services to enjoy a new phone. EVERY VERIZON customer should consider there options and swith to a carrier thar cares.

Terrible experience all-around with Verizon

Posted on: July 20th, 2012 by Misty Pickle

I have been with Verizon for 17 months and have had nothing but issues from the start. My first phone was a Droid X. My droid had issues within the first week & couldn't upload any any apps. Called cust service who informed me that my Market app was corrupted. After trying a few things, & spending about 2 hours on the phone they said my phone was fixed. After a few more days, same trouble again. Since it had been 2 wks since my purchase of the phone, VERIZON would be sending me a LIKE NEW phone as a replacement. Well, I have been through 3 Droids. Verizon just sent me a Samsung Nexus as a warranty replacement. I have had the phone for 10 days and let me tell you this has been the worst 10 days EVER!!! The Nexus WILL NOT stay connected to service so I can't make calls, text or use my data unless I am using wi-fi. I have been on the phone to Verizon 8 times in those 10 days, spent numerous hours trying to resolve this issue. I have been promised twice that a manager or supervisor would call me back, but NEVER did such promise occur. Our local Verizon vendor told me direct that every person that's come into the store with a Nexus has the same problem& to ask techincal support if they'd send me a different phone. The Verizon rep told me the Nexus has some bugs and they have worked out the bugs supposedly with the new Galaxy. SO, do you think I am getting a different phone??? NOPE, lucky me - Verizon is sending me another Nexus that should arrive tomorrow and I get to activate, re-install all of my contacts, data, etc. for the 6th time on a device that Verizon told me from experience doesnt work. I wish they would just release me of my contract.

So Long its been good to know ya

Posted on: July 7th, 2012 by Anonymous

I never had a problem with customer service or billing but the rates are becoming rediculous and I am done paying all the extra fees an charges also. Contract is up and instead of offering percs for staying they are now charging $30 per phone to upgrade. I don't think so. I am going with Consumer Cellular which uses AT&T towers and cutting my bill in half. I don't need a fancy $500 phone. I hope more people drop Verizon so they will smarten up and start offering fair prices for people who can't afford the elaborate plans.

pretty foward

Posted on: June 23rd, 2012 by Tristan TheInfamous McCormick

Pros and cons pro:when you signing your life over to a two year contract everything is smiles and love good 4g when it do kicks in, in certain areas nice phone selection in stores.cons: wth do state taxes cost as much as the data plan, and insurance should be liable do to the fact you're agreeing to a two year contract why should I pay free nights start at 9 o'clock like ppl are up that time of night on a weekday wtf and the reason they charge for data bcuz they know smart phones run multiple apps in the background when you're not using them. In conclusion gnex works fine for now my company discount should take care of the taxes and insurance and data
