Alltel is unwilling to help put a stop to identity theft. It seems as if it is a common practice for criminals to use your stolen credit and bank card information to replenish prepaid Alltel accounts. This happened to my husband after he used his card at an Outback restaurant in our area. He phoned the Alltel customer service number and the rep confirmed that the card was used with their company, but he would need to take that up with his bank. While reporting the incident to the bank the teller told him that this was an ongoing problem with Alltel. She said she has personally spoken with Alltel representatives, and they feel as if it is not their problem. How is the bank or the consumer going to stop this action if Alltel will not cooperate and disclose the information on the crooks that are doing this. I am currently an Alltel customer and it is really disheartening to know that I am affiliated with a company that sides with the thieves.

I signed a contract with Alltel for my Son and Daughter-in-law to have cell phone service with Alltel several years ago. The problems started when Alltel started over charging on their statements. Alltel had added bogus charges to their bill that they had no idea what these charges were for. Their phone bill went over 600.00 dollars in September 2017. When I called and asked what these charges were for, Alltel could not tell me anything. Just that the charges were theirs and they had to be paid. I asked Alltel to put a hold on their bill until they could get it paid down some, , the lady from Alltel told me that they would do that. I asked the Alltel representative if any more charges would be added to their account and she told me no more charges would be added. Well, , , in November 2017, my Son's Alltel bill had went up over 1100.00 dollars, even though Alltel had disconnected my Son's cell phone service in September 2017. When I called to try to resolve this mess, I was asking questions about my cell phone account and the Lady from Alltel hung up on me, so I called back and ended up talking to 3 people from Alltel and none of them wanted to talk to me about the account or answer any of my questions. Alltel service representatives acted as if they did not know anything about the cell phone service. Alltel had turned the account over to several collection agencies in November 2017, even though my Son was paying a monthly payment to them all along. My Son was getting 2 seperate bills from 2 different collection agencies and a bill from Alltel every month. He had no idea which one of these companies he should be paying, so he kept sending Alltel payments each month to Alltel. I called Alltel and asked them where the money was going that my Son had been paying and Alltel said they did not know.. So I called the collection agency that had been harassing me and I paid the bill to get those people off of my back. I would suggest that people should stay away from Alltel, because they will definitely over charge you and there is nothing you can do, but pay the bill. I still don't know where my Son's payments to Alltel went. I can only assume Alltel was putting the money in their pockets and not adding the payments to my cell phone account.

I let my daughter use my credit card to put $100 on her account which as about $80 past due and a new billing cycle put the entire amount due at $160. For the next two months Alltel billed $280 every two weeks to my credit card. I called first to them and they assured me they would no longer bill my checking account and couldn't explain what the charges were for. The next month I had to jump through hoops to get my credit card company to refuse charges from Alltel. I never received any satisfaction of the problem from Alltel.

Then in July 2017 I gave my other daughter a check to pay her bill at the local office. They have now decided they can deduct her bill from my checking account without any authorization. I have stopped all payments to Alltel from my checking. My bank recommended I pursue them for fraud and I agree.

Incident
I started service with Alltel on January 30th 2017 and canceled service on February 2nd, 2017. All equipment was returned to the Metro Center location in Phoenix on January 3rd, 2017. After calling Alltel to let them know that I had returned the equipment to the store, they informed me that I have an outstanding bill of $133.31 and that they do not pro-rate and all fees must be paid. I was taken aback by the raised hair on my head! I said I was only with Alltel for 3 days and made TWO phone calls within the My Circle calling plan (which are FREE) and simply started their service so I could tether my laptop to my phone, but the woman who sold me the phone and tethering kit did not realize that the phone she sold me was NOT able to tether. The tethering kit she sent me was for the same BRAND of phone but for a different model of phone. I told them I only made two calls on the My Circle plan and all they told me is they do not pro-rate and I owe all fees billed. I started the $59 a month plan, so I am very confused in how my bill reached $133.31 in 3 days. They could never explain this to me and when I would ask, they would simply tell me to hold and they would transfer me. I think they do this on purpose to make you give up after several transfers. Alltel is a BIG scam company and I have found MANY complaints online and new ones documented every time I check. This has now gone too far as my bill is up to $150 with interest reoccurring monthly. I have contacted an attorney which in turn sent them a letter demanding they clear all said charges. They never responded. I then sent a letter to the Attorney General and their response was I need to provide receipts for the equipment being dropped off at the said store and documentation of time of activation and termination. They will then re-evaluate and provide a resolution. I say... YAH RIGHT ALLTEL! this is simply one of your tactics to delay the issue and run my charges up even higher. I am still waiting for the FCC's response to my complaint I submitted. I am also going to file complaints on every site possible! It really is sad to have to deal with such rip-off companies. They take advantage of the people and I'm sure, end up winning in most cases and the people who can fight their way through and win... it's no big deal to Alltel because they already screwed MANY others and won.

Damage Resulting
I am now being charged reoccurring interest every single month. They seem to have NO intention of resolving this manner in a fair way.

Alltel is the worst cell phone company i have had the misfortune of dealing with. I used the pre pay plan because i dont like being locked into a contract with no real way to get out of it should there be a problem. I moved from one state to another and all i wanted to do was change my location and number so i wouldnt be in a constant roam zone. You would think i was attempting to steal one of their children the customer service was rude and useless. When i attempted to reach a manager i was told the manager would not talk to me or take my complaint about the call center problems. After a great deal of searching i finally managed to get a hold of corprate headquarters and did get someone to listen. They are very fast to say they are sorry but they really dont care about customer service or they would make it easier for us to complain so they could address these concerns and actually do something to improve their services. My opinion do not get involved with this company do not enter into a contract with them. When i googled them i was amazed how many complaints were posted just about their customer service. I was also amazed that they were ordered by court to re train their staff at call centers to provide better service. I wonder if that judge is watching to see if his order was followed because it doesnt appear to be.

Alltell Sucks! they sold me a data card that was suoopsed to work wherever I went. I moved 270 miles north (to a more metro area) and it dosn't work. they insist they will charge me 200.00 to end the contract on a service that never worked correctly from the get go. CRIMINALS! and they need to be put out of business. I have been an alltel costomer for 5 yrs and they have now shown me what criminals they really are. SHUT THEM DOWN! ###.

I live in Thomasville, NC and have been with alltel since 1996. I recently moved approximately 3 miles from my original location. I cannot receive service at my present location. Unfortunately I had up-graded my original 2 phones with newer models 9 months ago. Complaints about reception were null and void responses. I can go 1/8 mile in any direction and get reception. I was extreamly up-set when a contract fee of $400 was applied for early termination but to no avail. It seems that I have paid for services I would never receive. Isn't that robbery?

Sat. Dec. 1 I called #729 to obtain the new balance on my account; ideally, it should be about $47.00; instead, it was a whopping $500.++, and I called Customer Care for an explanation on the inflated amount. Guess what? It was the minutes used for the Axcess Web. But wait - I had planned on my plan minutes being used for the Web, but "Danielle" said the only way to avoid the per-minute charge is to pay the extra $10.00 per month for unlimited data minutes. She confirmed my sudden belief, the calling plan minutes can NOT be used for data minutes on the Web, and given Alltel's advertised message to "Take the head-to-head challenge..." against At&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. In my opinion, when it comes to the mobile web, Alltel has flunked the test by a wide margin, and I intend to advise the corporate officials accordingly. Good thing I haven't signed up for any automatic drafts on my credit cards or checking accounts.

I contacted customer service and requested time to pay my bill. They gave me until November 16th at which time I went online and paid the bill. When I made the payment there was no indication that a debit for the same amount had already been charged to my account.

On November 19th when I checked my bank records I saw 2 debits: one for the amount I paid online and one that was drafted from my account. When I called to ask that one of the debits be credited back to my account they said it would take a few days. They said that would have to review tapes to see if I had authorized them to debit the account. I told them that it was my understanding that they were giving me until the 16th to pay, not that my account would automatically be debited.

They then said that if it were their error they would credit my account in a few days. But if it was "customer error" they couldn't help me. The fact that they got their money as promised flew right over their heads.

ALLTEL is a classless company run by classless people. And that’s putting it ever so mildly!

I am a current customer and had called in to check about phone offerings. In the process the person asked if I wanted to have 500 mins are no charge. I have 700 min plan but dont even come close to using it but accepted the offer thinking it did not matter. I received a billing statement will confimed the 500 min offer but also having a note that there is a cancellation fee of $175 for early termination. There is a chance I will terminate early in Dec but would not have accepted the offer on the phone had I know about this. This is a "bait and switch" offer by Verizon. I have been happy for many years but if Verizon does this, then it is time to really move away. Calling customer service did not help today. They have no proof of stating about the termination fee anywhere and will be complianing about this everywhere I can ..

STILL NO ANSWER FROM CELL C I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS KIND OF SERVICE I AM THINKING OF CANCELLING THIS CONTRACT.

I AM NOT HAPPY WITH CELL C EVERY WEEKEND IS A PROBLEM AND SOMETIMES DURING THE WEEK AS WELL. IF I WANT TO MAKE A CALL THE SIGNAL IS SO BAD THAT I CAN NOT MAKE ANY CALLS NOT EVEN A SMS CAN BE SENT.

I UPGRADED LAST MONTH BUT I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF I CAN KEEP MY SAME NUMBER I AM USING NOW.

you would have to provide proof to Afni that the same exact same account number of Alltel's was paid (afni has on file the same original alltel account number)...

so they must match up...if not...you are out of luck...

pay the bill

verizon is no good they ripped me off
do not go with V.E.R.I.Z.O.N lousy costomer service and billing could not resolve matter.

File in small claims court. Bring PAPER proof: contracts, communications, transactions

Verizon CANNOT be trusted. TimeWarner cable offers 15 megabits per second in many markets.

get all the HD episodes you could ever want from newzbins

Three weeks without email and tech support still cannot fix. I am fed up with Verizon.

Don't go with Verizon Fios. They have no control over their billing system.

I've been working four months with them, and am currently over five hundred dollars over-charged. Service was advertised and sold to me as 65/month - but I'm billed at least 200 dollars each month, because the network thinks I am reinstalling service six or seven times each month.

Customer service calls this "Phantom Installations," and they have no way to stop it. Some have suggested I collect the bills, and then at the end of each year to go to small claims court to try to get the money back. Others have told me the situation should be corrected within 12 to 18 months, at which point I should apply for credits.

Fios is a good internet service, but billing has not caught up. Unless you have 5000 to invest in Internet service (possibly refundable after a year or so) you really shouldn't go this route.

I could not agree more. They signed on 217,000 new subs for the quarter and they don't think they need to spend any money on new content as they cant handle the load they have now of new customers. They stated in a press release they will not add any HD content till 2008 in late spring at the soonest.

verizon are totally rip offs they have issued me a total bill of 1000 dollars for a month i have been dealing with them on there over charges ect if i was that far behind any co. would turn your phone off, they even lost a payment for 240 dollars for last month so i could just stop there harrassing mail and they lost it i had my banki fax they check proff it was cashed and they blamed me for it and said it was my fault. i dont know how i sent it in with the bill. these people should be checked out by the federal goverment i am disabled and they are effecting my health after my payment i was assured no more bills then somehow i owed 700 something dollors how can someone owe thant for telecommunications common on i am not even in bussiness they say everything taken care of when you send your payment in then they make up more charges and you dont even have service with them they are fraudualant and i am pleaeing for someone in a good position to stop them from taking money from the handicape and volunerable people this has been the worst nightmare of my life they even chuckel on the phone as if its a joke to destroy your credit and your health is it worth it the evil and mean i would never ever do anything with these demons again.has anyone else got charged so horrible and been treated so terrible and they get away with destroying credit you work hard for i have multiple scelersis and i used to be a registered nurse and helped many people why do people treat me so bad after all the good i have done you have to ask yourself one question if you owed that much you wouldnt have service they would of disconnected you or something they are scammers and trying to rip people off threating theam like common loan sharks if anyone with power out there please help out the lettle guys we need iyou thanks

For the last six weeks or so I have had the worst issues with Verizon as a DSL ISP. I want to share this story so those of you who haven't found yourself in this position yet can possibly avoid some of the headaches that I'm dealing with now.

In mid April, my wife and I purchased our first house. The person we bought the house from did the very least he could to make the house look decent. We found "cover up" jobs all over the house, including the wiring. After about a month of heavy internet use with Verizon it was readily apparent that the wiring in the house needed to be checked.

Since I work during the week, I noticed the worst drop outs in service over the weekends. The signal would drop out for five to ten minutes at a time several times a day. Each time I called the support line, I was told that I had to call them back when the problem was actually happening so that they could track it. Unfortunately, by the time I got through to a live human being, the problem usually had corrected itself. The drop out rate on the weekends was anywhere from fifteen to twenty times over the course of several hours. Sometimes I just had to walk away because the service was so poor, it wasn't even usable.

Twice I actually got Verizon to agree to send someone to my home. Both times I took time off of work and both times a Verizon technician never showed up or even called. When I called back, I found out that the local office decided that the problem was magically "fixed" when enroute to my home. Obviously this wasn't the case. One time they even claimed to have sent out new hardware to my house via UPS without telling me. Unfortunately, this doesn't do me much good since 1) I'm not there during the day to receive it and 2) I had no clue it was even coming because nobody told me. As of this post, no new hardware has shown up.

My call rate with Verizon is usually somewhere in the range of six to twelve calls per weekend over the past six weeks. At no time did anyone attempt to do anything more then log the issue in their system. Granted, the call center employees in Mexico were very nice and considerate. However, the employees in India were rude, ignorant, unintelligible and just plain useless. If I want to be insulted, I can get that here in Philadelphia.

Bottom line, Verizon could care less about you, your service, or your satisfaction as an employee. They employ call centers that are rude, under-staffed and under-trained. Do not sign up for Verizon service if you have a choice. You WILL be sorry.

I completely agree. Verizon DSL is a complete scam. I wanted DSL service and ordered it online from their website. They required credit card info, etc. After I finally received the equipment, it didn't work. After numerous inquiries, they said they would send a technician out. Thereafter, I was told that my particular apartment in the building was not wired to recieve Verizon's DSL--no existing telephone connection. From that point on, I gave in to the fact that my apartment was not going to get DSL from Verizon and I opted to get it through my existing cable service. One year later I realized that Verizon was charging my credit card for service they themselves told me they could not provide me. After another set of numerous inquiries and call re-routing within Verizon's customer service, they told me the dsl service has been in use and tried to convince me that I was using their dsl service. Too weird. As it turns out, the Verizon technician turned on my neighbor's dsl line and billed me for it for one year. I have tried over and over again to explain this to their customer service reps and supervisors and they have not done anything about it. All they do repeatedly is continue to transfer me around their customer service departments or straight up hang up on me. It's interesting that a search online has revealed that billing consumers for services never rendered has become a mode of operation for Verizon.

I definitely agree with you... i ordered the service, but never received the modem.

I called verizon several time, and they charged me for $79.00 for ealier termination fee. I never used the service and they still fk charge me for the cancellation fee... they are damn liar... when i rordered the modem, they said the service starts when you recived the modem...

I am over $400 in the hole right now because Verizon's ignorance to billing. They keep going in my account taking money for no reason and now that they know I am taking my issues to the executives, Im not getting any sort of response. Verizon has NO BUSINESS offering people DSL and tv and all this other stuff they dont have the manpower and capability to provide. They are liars! and I don't know why they are not facing criminal charges!

I have a funny feeling after you accepted the $30 you came to an agreement with them, your probably not going to get anything else now.

My Verizon MiFi gets 0.2 Mbit upload / download for $60 per month. They were very cooperative about sending their van by our house to check but all they could say is "we confirmed that the performance has dropped - even though we are 8 miles from the tower, this was attributed to many new customers competing for cell usage in evening hours". I have tried multiple locations for the MiFi placing it high with a reflector toward the cell tower - still get 0.2 Mbit at best in the evening hours. Early morning hours gets better.

Verizon Wireless Broadband Service is about as useful as a broken foot and as reliable as a politician. The amount of money they charge for a service that falls well short of their advertisements is highway robbery and they are, to many of their subscribers, in breach of contract. Verizon has no legal right to charge early termination fees for a service they do not adiquately provide. Since they themselves know they are not providing the quality of service that they advertise they should waive all cancellation fees for dissatisfied customers.

How about it Verizon? Will you do the right thing for once or will you continue to rip off your customers?

GRRRRR! I hate the Chocolate! My first one actually lasted about a year and a half and then I had to replace it because it wouldn't charge at first I could get it to charge it i pushed the charger firmly into the phone and just held it there for the entire charging session and then not even that would work. But the problems started way before that, like how some of you were saying that it would just start surfing the web randomly well mine would do that and it would do other things to like I mean it would go through my text messages and all that kind of stuff, one time it even sent my brother a txt message so I would always make sure that my phone was shut if I left it even for a moment that way it couldn't do anything because the keys were locked but then it would unlock the keys it's like this thing has a mind of its own! But then there were so many other problems with it, that i couldn't even begin to tell you! And no sooner did I replace it, now I need a new one!

Well maybe you guys should stop getting the port off with the charger so damn much that makes it as loose as a hooker. WTF you all FAIL!

My brother rarley used his choclate (mint). My dad gave to me when he got a new phone, and I get it, the sound doesn't work! We asked him why, but he always kept his phone on vibrate, so the I had to also! Then, after playing outside one day, I pulled it out of my pocket. It had never been in humid climates, gotten wet (in my use) or dropped drastically. But it had a white screen, forever, and 3 black lines, and for the next 3 days, each day one line would dissapear, and about a week later, 1 black line appeared and never left. So now I have a phone I can call with, but can see nothing! I HATE IT! So, now I cant get a replacment.

i had LV venus nice touch screen first phone was perfect except that key pad paint was cheaping off ...then got replacement phone screen kepts getting mirror then my text was just oposite way then got othere replacement simcard would not work then got my anotherone was fine till it shut down when i got text some calls specially with my mp3 so they send new one now i have it but guess what still ### up so called now have to drinve around because am really tire of waiting for phone and to top it off still jack up...
they waist my time and sad part they still get bussiness...

I am on my 3rd LG chocolate in 18 mos. Like clockwork, every 6 mos they start turning themselves off, the screen goes black and I have to turn it off and on again to get it to work, and this is a new one ~ When I turn it on, I get a blue/gray static looking screen. Lovely! I am also a long time Verizon customer (not for long though.) I approached Verizon about replacing this one and told them I will not accept another Chocolate only to have it go on the fritz in 6 mos again. It turns out that they end the warranty 1 year from the ORIGINAL purchase date, so Chocolate # 3 is no longer under warranty and if I want to replace it, I have to pay them $50 . They could not pay me to take another POS phone! I talked to a manager on the cut svc line who told me the same and also offered and early upgrade (1.5 mos early) as long as I agree to take another 2 year contract and guess what phone they want to upgrade me to ... the NEW Chocolate ~ Are they crazy? stupid? or just don't care enough to keep their customers? I am buying an iPhone and switching to AT&T. I will never go back to Verizon and I will discourage everyone I know from using their "service", if you can call it that. HOW do we start a class action suit?

I wish it were true that Verizon would replace the Chocolate. I am on my 5th one. The Chocolate is too sensitive and will sometimes call someone while it's just in my pocket. Maybe that's a Verizon scam to get you to use up more minutes, I don't know. And often I receive a call from someone in my phonebook, and it asks if I want to add them to my phonebook! It then beeps incessantly until I click "No". It even does this when I call my voicemail. I have gone around and around with Verizon, where I have been a customer for many years, but they just say well we will send you another Chocolate. No Customer Service means no repeat business. I have two Verizon accounts and three Verizon phones, but when the contract runs out this time I will dump Verizon for their indifference to customers. We need a class action suit! Demand a recall!

me and my 16 yr old bro have choclated and they were our parents and about 2 weeks a go the hole charger port came out of his and lastnight mine came out (we dont have inshurence even tho i tld them 2 get it). my parents think it our fault and that we dont take care of them but the same thing happened to some of my bros friends and mine so i might not even get a new phone for like 2months

Verizon chocolate stinks! It's battery doesn't changed charged. I had a mega phone bill because it
would go on the internet when I didn't. They reversed the charges because from DAY 1 I had all the
internet crap blocked. The battery also gets very hot if talking for very long. They want
to replace my NEW phone with a refurbished one. And they don't like to be argued with. The first
questions I got, was did i put in in water and did i drop it, because now you can't hear clearly, just
get static with every word.

my son bought a lg chocolate phone . After about eight months of very little use he puts it on the charger the battery gets so hot it melts the terminals off the battery leaks acid on my tile floor burns an acid hole in his jeans and when it is sent to lg for warranty they tell me its liquid damage. Well guess what lg thats the last thing we buy from you and I hope other people follow suit. LIFE IS GOOD for somebody but not for people who own an lg chocolate

Yes i totally agree im 14 and my brother has had atleast 6 chocolates {black} n i also had a black one an my charger port at first bent in then completely fell out n my brotheres phone his screen went completly white and wouldnt shut off without taking the battery out this has happened several times also i dont like it when you use ur camera or phone and the battery goes down very quickely even if its full charged i really hate this phone i like the phone company but not all of the phones they make.

Verizon sucks its just that simple

This is the most frustrating company to get results from. If you follow their directions, you just go around in circles. If you go on line with them, you are unable to get a simple answer without going through the 5th degree. What is the deal?

Try 'bob.elek@verizon.com'; 'eric.rabe@verizon.com'; 'marta.mandala@verizon.com'''william.kula@verizon.com' Atleast you will get a response.

Still waiting to hear from management team who were suppose to contact us regarding errors (third month in a row). We were told they would contact us shortly--that was on Nov. 21st. So sorry we bundled.

I too had BIG propblems with Verizon. My husband had internet service in PA when he was working there for several months and when he moved back to NJ he tried to cancel it. They said it would cost $79 for an early termination fee. His monthly fee was $36 at the time, which is already riduiculous for just internet service. They told him he could put it on vacation hold for 6 months instead and then cancel so he did. Little did we know they still charged us $16.34 a month those 6 months. Shame on us for not noticing, but it came directly out of the bank account like EVERYTHING else we pay for and we didn't notice. They obviously did not explain the policy to him b/c who in their right mind would pay $16.34/month for 6 months (total of $98) instead of the early termination of $79? and still have to worry about calling back and cancelling after 6 months. Well he didn't remember to call so last month they charged $64.34 to "restart the service" and $36.34 this month until I finally noticed it. I called and cancelled the service again and they would not refund all the charges. We haven't even lived in that location or used the service in over a year and we've been charged $185! They refused to refund anything at first. I demanded a supervisor and she was rude but eventually agreed to an $89 refund. I will never use Verizon again!

yes i have been trying to disconnect with them for 4 days now and all of 16 hours on hold and talking to dum dum persons . That if they could speeck english may have a chance in hell of trafring you to the right deprtment . no not going to happen. all i want to do is not have to ever call [protected] ever agin if you call to make a payment and yes i timed it 2 min. 12 sec. for them to get money from you . then when i ask to dissconnect . well needless to say i am on the phone now today i have been on hold for 3 hours and i have had to call back 2 times cause of dissconnect's on there end . like they pick up and hang up on you . why is it so hard . i am moving to comcast and i lost my phone number of 23 years because of something on there end so now i have a new number and 2 phone bills for i am unable to speeck with anyone to turn my old # off . and online you can do every thing but dissconnet service

Hi...
I am having a great deal of trouble with Verizon.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher with basic residential service about $25.00 a month.
Verizon has added two fees to my account. A Dial Tone fee of $11.95 a month and a Voice Mail fee of $12.95.00 a month thus doubling my original monthly charge.
For the past 5 months I have written on my bill when I sent it in asking Verizon to discontinue those fees to me...disconnecting my dial tone. I don't know what Voice Mail is...never had it...don't want it...and never agreed to have it.
Today I called Verizon and was told that due to high volumn of calls my call could not be answered and I was disconnected.
I called again after awhile and was put on hold. I waited 39 minutes then abandoned the effort.
I went on line and e-mailed Verizon requesting a termination of my account.
I put a note in my bill when I sent in payment and requested termination.
My daughter tells me that requesting termination from Verizon by mail or note will not work.
She tried calling Verizon and was told that due to high volume her call would not be answered then she was disconnected also.
What do I do to get Verizon to disconnect my service.
They are making it impossible for me to teminate.
It's terrible how this company treats it customers...even Seniors.

Final bill, received November 11th, call from a debt collection agency November 13th. I was a customer for over 20 years through several company changes. Never missed A Payment . I guess Verizon does"nt like lt when you leave?

Just to lte anyone know when you call the 1800 number keep pressing 0 and it will get you a representative.

If you need to speak with someone just press zero when you call and it routs your call right to customer service. and theres no way you were on hold for an hour i'm sorry. ive had verizon for years and ive never been on hold for more than 5 minutes. make sure you dialed the right number.

I want to add my comments about Verizon... Why doesn't Verizon take calls - it is almost impossible to speak with a human being at that company. When you call the 800 number you are put through a series of questions by a computer as to why you are calling, what number you are calling about, etc. This morning as like yesterday afternoon I spent over 1 hour on hold and NO ONE ever took the call. At one point this morning a commercial by McDonald in Spanish actually came on... this is all a game to Verizon. Personally I feel it is time for an investigation into the monopoly system.

You should learn to ask your Alltel rep. about the All Axcess Pack. You do have internet, and you might have accidently hit it. Now, even though you have unlimited internet (which means unlimited data) you do get charged if you go over the minutes of your plan.

In simple explanation. If you have 500 minutes, and you talk 50 minutes a month, you have 450 minutes of internet. If you go over the 450 minutes and it doesn't fall into your nights and weekends. You pay $0.40. Again, talk to your reps about it and learn what you are getting into. It even explains it on the website.

I checked my bill on the phone today and it says it was 420 dollars. My bill has never been that high so i called to ask why. The only explanation was I had been using the internet on my phone alot but guess what according to my phone I DONT HAVE INTERNET! It ask me to do a one day pass which is like 5.99 i think. The woman at Customer Service said i did it and i never did but still how is that going to run my bill up to 420 dollars. GOOD QUESTION HUH. But after she said i bought a one day pass then she says i have unlimited internet because i have unlimited text messaging. What kind of sence does that make? Then what beats it all is if i had unlimited internet (which i dont cause i dont have internet period) How could my bill go up cause its unlimited? She says its cause it would take it away from your minute plan. Ok so how is that actually unlimited? Your guess is probably as good as mine. It doesnt make any sence at all. All it is is a big scam. They think people out here in the world cant figure out what kind of a business they are running. Thats why everybody i know is going to Cricket now. The customer service people just kept trying to find a reason for why it was so high but never could find a good one. She just wanted to keep blaming it on some internet that I DONT HAVE! Please if you dont have service with them already chose someone else cause they are no good.

Help, few weeks ago it took so long it depleted 10$ from my account. Also had I known it cost me to do survey on store I wouldn't have.

Can't get email.

I have had nothing but problems with Alltel after they bought the local cell phone company in southern Illinois. First of all they lost my first payment to them during the buyout. That should have been a clue to go else where. But didn't. Then I bought my niece a cell phone and they had a deal going on..1000 minutes for 39.99. The constantly got everything wrong..that I was the person paying..they would not let me authorize anything later on when my name was on the bill..

Then in March of this year I switched plans. For almost 2 months now I have been fighting with them. They have everything wrong..and now they suddenly switched my niece's plan from 1000 minutes to 500,,after I signed a contract for 1000.

Now everything is screwed up. I have talked to many many people at customer service with no resolution. It is important that I have a cell phone as I am on a ventilator 24/7.

I am so fed up with this company.

Don't do business with them.

This plan has roaming charges clearly stated for roaming when is certain areas...it even provides customer service information to call and ask questions about the plans. Did you call for any of this in advance?

did you make the calls and get complete information about the plan online before obtaining this pan for international calling? Did you speak with a travel agent or work people about possible charges you could receive while out of the u.s.? Did you think the calls would be free? if you borrow from a bank and don't make a payment do they let you off interest free or waive the amount when you don't pay your bill? Do you just sign up for insurance and not read the details? Step up and accept responsibility as an adult that U didn't do YOUR homework to find out how u just calling around in a foreign country would cost U money and U blame everyone for your stupidity! U are a disgrace and an example of a MOOCHER!
