Verizon - Deceptive
I went to Walmart and talked to a Verizon representative about purchasing a discontinued phone, she said she had none and offered me a phone for $500. I refused it and told her I would not pay that much. We started to walk away and she said, let me see what I can do. She said she could give me the phone for $45 since we had good credit. I figured she...

My old S10 finally failed. I bought a new phone and did the SIM swap. 2 days later I'm contacted by Verizon to confirm that it was me who activated the new phone. I told them that yes it was me. The Verizon employee stated that she would make a note on my account and nothing further was required. 2 days later my phone no longer works. Upon going to the...

In spite of Core's rude treatment of me, I am moving forward because of you. Going out of her way to assist me in resolving the issue, Teri from Service Support was likewise outstanding. Throughout the process, she stood by my side and actively advocated for me to prevent the treatment I received from Core. I adore you!
If you really want to serve consumers and make a difference, Core, instead of ignoring me and not trying to solve the problem, you should get your act together and do what it takes to make customers happy. T-Mobile has much better ratings! You may need to take a problem-solving training course and people interaction directions. YOU DID NOT represent Verizon in a positive way at all.
This place and the people who work here are fantastic. I needed assistance with something, and they patiently waited for an hour as I tried to reach out to the core department for support. Kendrick has made Verizon's customer service in Riverton unparalleled. No matter what, you stuck with me until, and I quote you, "I'll stay with you until you are serviced and the problem is resolved." I also thought the floor manager was really kind and accommodating.

Verizon - Verizon is trash!
Verizon is HORRIBLE!... I applied for a phone in 2018, they asked a 500.00 deposit, so I decided against it. They went ahead and issued a phone number even though I never paid the deposit and have added it to my credit report. I contacted the review department after several attempts to dispute this on my credit. The first lady I spoke with reviewed it and...
Read full review of VerizonBait and Switch customer service
I was told from a Verizon Rep at a Verizon sore, in January of 2024, that because of my 36+ year affiliation with their company that I was eligible some “perks” and I should contact them to cash-in on their “rewards” program, for a reduction in monthly bill from $255 to $178, a significant reduction for my business account. They also told me that one of my accounts was eligible for a “free” upgrade. The user of that account had just upgraded two tears prior, but we accepted the upgrade as part of the offer to lower my monthly bill.
The new phone arrived, but nothing to return the old phone (which they insisted I return). It took three months and MULTIPLE calls to get a return label. Meanwhile, the cost of the new phone was being added in monthly installments.
Epilogue: No discounted offers ever existed in the first place and Verizon was apparently more interested in me paying my monthly bill with something other than a 3rd party cc.
I have been a Verizon customer longer than they have been in business and I’m looking forward to making this change. The Verizon customer service is a myth, it doesn’t exist. I enjoy my cell service, but deplore the human element associated with this service.
Recommendation: Don’t believe any offers. There is NO customer service from this company.
I agree totally and the same happened to me. Cost me almost $1000 by the time it was done. Fraudulent indeed and it needs to be prosecuted!
Samsung s21 phone database failure
9 /18/ 2023 We visited the Verizon store in Green Acres. I was greeted by Kevin, and I explained my phone was being inundated by spam, advertising, and repetitive locked keys. He looked it over and did actions to see if the phone could be cleaned. Failing that, we give us some options, not pushing sales. We spent a few hours trying. he gave us advice and educated us on the issue and the remedy. it erased some apps, but they kept coming back. We purchased 2 new phones and a tablet and saved money. My Wife and I were talking while he sorted us out; This is exactly why we use Verizon exclusively. for all our communication needs. This was time well spent and a great example of the value of highly motivated employees. I hope this gentleman receives accolades
Recommendation: If you need solutions for home business school etc you can do better than Verizon and an ambassador that Kevin and Kevin is an excellent ambassadour
I'm a 50-year customer of Bell and Verizon for home, personal, and business, and I've been using Green Acres location for many years. They keep earning my loyalty.

Read full review of Verizonwireless phone replacement
It involves my communication with Verizon Representative, ASH, who I thought was knowledgeable and professional regarding the need to replace my inoperable cell phone. I explained the urgency of delivery as I live with 2 /95 yrs old parents and must have access if any emergency arises.She had promised it would be sent overnight .I have paid for ASURION insurance monthly.tI would arrive today, 3/31/25. Today, I use the tracking info, and she DID NOT overnight the phone! UPS claims it will be delivered a week later on April 7, 2025.Waited for over an hour when I call and spoke to SUPV KAYA, who just apologized and basically did nothing! Verizon lied and gave me inaccurate information!
Now almost 4 hours on the phone with absolutely NO solution provided! how do they get away with this?
O
Desired outcome: delivery as promised!

Fraud
I always have the money sitting in my account every month for my phone bill. This has been the third month in a row they have shut my phones off due to no payment WHEN THE MONEY IS THERE! Tells me I need to add more money when I DO NOT. Customer service is VERY rude and makes you out to be the bad guy. They WILL steal your money, then try to cover it up.

Customers may face long wait times for responses, receive generic or unhelpful answers or no response at all. Only 37% of 6 complaints were resolved.
- Verizon has a strict no-refund policy for all purchases, and any attempts to dispute a charge with the credit card company are met with evidence of the policy. This prevents many chargebacks, but also results in dissatisfied customers who feel they have no recourse.
- We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Verizon. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Read full review of VerizonTotal by verizon
ELEVEN TIMES over two days I called them. Only to have the issue continue on through today. Absolutely worthless CS. My dog could do better.
A company so good that they told me I wasn't a customer. Funny.. but total by verizon is what it says on my bank statement.
Done. I'm gone. Tmobile was able to save me $15 on two lines. Total by verizon = $75/month... tmobile =$60/month
Total has the WORST customer service in prepaid mobile history. The CS reps actually do NOT give a crap about your device working. They only care to get you off of their support line.
If I can only have one wish, I pray that LIGHTNING STRIKES EVERY SINGLE TOWER owned by the POS company owned by verizon. Thanks alot for your CS. And F you!
Claimed loss: 1800

Mobile phone service
I went to Verizon they advertized Free Phone's! There is nothing free about it!
I traded in a phone worth $750.00 and received a free phone or so I thought.
My monthly bill started at $73.00 within six months it increased to $94.00 a month when I called about the increase. I was told all the promotions ran out I was never told about any promotions being applied. So, knowing that way too much for one phone line and that there was no contract.
Except for one small thing, the phone I recived was only free if stayed with Verizon for three years. I guess that's the way they get around saying NO CONTRACT. I had to pay the free phone off to the tune of $776.00 to switch to another provider. The provider I switched to was less than half the price of Verizon. When I called Verizon about the phone I traded in and asked for the phone or to be compensated Verizon told me they owed nothing. In other words, they cheated a customer.
Claimed loss: $750.00
Desired outcome: $750.00 for the phone that was so called traded in.

When I ordered the phone I was told the store would transfer the information from 1 phone to another, I was trading 1 phone in so I would have to leave it there when I got the new one. I was advised...

I asked to have my account researched because i never received proper service from Verizon Wireless the entirely of my service duration with them. Instead of receiving a call with a resolution my service was cut for non- payment when i already had a different phone service provided. Which has been an excellent switch.
I do not owe the balance reported against me as My son & I never had proper service. We couldnt even call each other without issues and calls never went through properly. Research the bill and service period snd you will see that you actually owe me. I will sue if it comes to me defending myself further and report you to the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs
Claimed loss: More thsn $300 dollars
Desired outcome: Removed collection action against me and refund of money for improper services and lack of phone services provided to me & my son’s iphones.

Verizon fios
Hi I called and added Verizon Fios to a land line only plan on 11/25. Order number is NJ11950774489. I was on the phone for approx 2 hours (forget the name of the person I was speaking to) and she was experiencing a lot of computer issues. I found a black Friday deal that said I would get a 200 Amazon gift card with the new services. I asked her when I would receive it and she said it would come via email and to be on the lookout for it. I've been checking my emails and haven't seen anything so I called to inquire about it. The lady I spoke to was very nice but said there's nothing on my account about the gift card. I know all calls are recorded. Is it possible for someone to pull that call and listen to it? You will hear that I was promised an Amazon GC. Not sure if her computer issues has anything to do with it not showing up on the order. Thank You. Paula Coldon [protected]@gmail.com
Desired outcome: I would like someone to pull the original call on 11/25 - you will hear that I was promised a 200 Amazon Gift Card

Young man came to apartment building Saturday morning in Flourtown asking if I needed help applying for the affordable connectivity program. He was wearing a jacket that had Verizon on it. This is a HUD building of 62 and up residents. Was he legitimate? I didn’t let him in and there was another resident behind me asking him if he had called.
Just wanted you to be aware.
Thank you

False advertising, poor customer support, terrible service coverage.
In April 2023, I switched to Verizon, signed up for (quite literally) their most expensive plan and put my family of 4 on, as well as getting 4 of the newest top of the line devices. I have contacted Verizon at least 25 times from April-November regarding my non existent service. Their coverage maps are not accurate and their network has no minimum...
Read full review of Verizonfios
I've been a loyal customer of Verizon Home services and Wireless for almost 20 years. (check my account's) Never, ever late paying my bills., over the years you dropped channels from my FIOS package than raised my monthly bill but I never complained till today. My remote control for one of my TV's stopped working, I called your 800 number and was told I would be charged to replace it. This was the last straw with you, Verizon. I will cancel both wireless and Verizon home services as soon as I can arrange new carriers. This could have all be avoided if your customer rep. just sent me a replacement, after all the remote was at least 15 to 20 years old. You expect me to be a loyal "VERIZON" customer but where's your loyalty. [protected]@verizon.net
Desired outcome: send me a new replacement remote!
Landline/internet Verizon bundle
I Lost Verizon my landline in lower Manhattan on Sept 29th-inconvenient. Repair expected tone completed by 30 November 2023. Really!
Lost bundled Verizon internet 3 November. Impossible situation. Same possible repair date 30 November. (This repair spans three months w/o service).
Numerous calls. Verizon doesn’t care. Doesn’t communicate. Repeatedly makes false promises. What a messed up company! I don’t know why I have been a loyal customer for 35 years
L G
Desired outcome: Resolution before 30 Nov 2023
Store manager 1379 N. Citrus Avenue, Covina, CA
This is my 2nd complaint regarding the same matter. (Note: this is a condensed version of what I wrote November 3, 2023). On Friday November 3, 2023 1:00pm I went to the "Total By Verizon" store at 1379 N. Citrus Avenue, Covina, CA 91722. I went with a friend so we could each pay our phone bills.

Read full review of VerizonPreventing unauthorized charges
Received an unsolicited call on 11/11/2023 from [protected] regarding a free 90-day promotion from verizon fios for showtime. The caller quickly explained the promotion and asked if I was an authorized person for the account. I said that I was. The caller then proceeded to tell me thanks for being a verizon customer and have a nice day. Showtime will be added to your lineup soon on the following channels...
I quickly asked if the assumption was that I was interested in having the showtime promotion, as I did not agree to accepting it. Her response was that I can cancel after 90 days. She said they could also send me a reminder. I told her there was no need for a reminder because I was not interested.
Her tactics are why I usually don't listen to these calls. Unfortunately, this representative is slick and will cause a lot of accounts to be charged without permission. Not a way to keep long-standing customers.
Claimed loss: trust
Desired outcome: correct behavior
