This whole thing has been a joke worst customer service in the world and to top it off I transfered my Internet. For the Xbox series s console deal to get it for free and every idiot I have talked to has acted stupid. Your company is a joke, and expensive as hell. I want my console I have been sent emails to claim it but they always say error after I select it and go to hit send. I have emails,, Pictures and even an email from the executive over customer service that's a moron as well.

Should be illegal they are absolute crooks. In my experience 1 of 10 representatives actually has anything useful to add. Ultimately they give you the run around till your so frustrated that you don't want to deal with them anymore.

Verizon = Evil
November 30, 2021

After 15+ years with Verizon I switched for the same reason as many current customers. You only win if you leave…just like a bad marriage. It's freeing to be out.

Immediately after switching they have no records of my account and won't acknowledge my past business with them. I've been getting the run around for hours from their customer service. Verizon is Evil.

Recently had major drops in our signal levels (bars), to the point of dropouts or inability to use online services. Screen freezes common. NO response from Verizon, nor any suggestions on how to get us better service. This is affecting our entire neighborhood. New problem.

Unreal hold times, upgrade fees, pushing the customer to use automated chat service.
Been with Verizon for over 15 years, but can no longer accept this and the high priced service.
T-mobile here I come.

Worst experience ever
November 2, 2023

I had been a loyal T-Mobile customer for six years with two phone lines, but due to poor coverage in my area, I decided to switch to Verizon, which offered better service. Everything went smoothly for the first four months until I requested that Verizon switch the numbers between my Android and iPhone.

Unfortunately, after this change, both of my phones lost signal, and despite spending over 10 hours on the phone with Verizon over the course of 96 hours, the issue remained unresolved. It was frustrating because each time I called, I was transferred to different representatives, but there was no progress. They repeatedly promised a resolution within a day, but I only received rescheduled appointment messages.

I'm truly disappointed with Verizon's service and regret switching to them. I strongly advise against choosing this company.

We had AT&T for years, we were browsing other carriers for cheaper plans. When looking into Verizon the unlimited plan we signed up for was supposed to be about $120 for 2 phones. We found the price increasing every month, we also have a military discount that seems to be taken off then added back in other fees. We've since stopped paying because it became too hard to afford it. Last month for 2 phones were having to pay over $350. They're customer service is terrible also, don't expect any help and you'll be on the phone all day with no resolution. We contacted their financial assistance because this price per phone is insane, they really don't care. They aren't being charged for it so it's not their problem. I regret ever switching, well be switching back asap.

It took me 1 hour and 40 minutes and being "disconnected " three times to get to the bottom of our bill increase. Apparently there was an "error " in the system. You're telling me, that this could not have been handled in a more timely manner?! Come on, Verizon! Value your loyal customers, or you won't have any left.

Terrible
August 27, 2022

In my opinion, crooked as the day is long. I will be looking for a new carrier! These people are even worse than AT&T! STAY AWAY! They have been taking my payments out of my checking account for the last 3 months. Just received a notice today my bill went up by approximately $15 from now on!

I been using Verizon for years. I recently purchased an iPhone 13 pro max 128GB and traded in my android phone. This was done at Costco. The promotion included a $700 dollar trade in. It was a nightmare dealing with Verizon, trying to sign up, get a shipping label, and get the monthly charges straight. You wait forever on the website chat, and when you go through everything, they give you a toll free telephone number to call. When someone finally Answers, you get a lot of promises but no action. It was very frustrating. Two months after my purchase it's still not right.

5G internet service
February 28, 2023

Quit working after 2 months. They keep billing you after you sent the gateway back. Customer service is the worst. Tell them they have a problem with their internet and the only answer they give is how to cancel. When you do they keep charging you. Have called 3 times on final bill. Last time for 2 hours and still at square 1.

My family bought 3 new phones from Verizon over a year ago. They have yet to apply the promotions and trade-ins to our bill. We've spent countless hours on the phone and in the store trying to figure it out. We were once long term and loyal customers but this has been such a scam and pain that we will never trust them again.

Absolutely horrible business. Do not trust them to honor their specials and deals!

The worst
May 25, 2022

Undoubtedly the worst customer service experience in my life! It's virtually nonexistent, wasted around 8 hours trying to solve what should have been a simple issue, Now I'm looking for a new service provider. One that has someone answering a phone for support.

To write a review of Verizon's customer service and its "policies" would require me to take a day or two off of work. I am guessing that I've logged about 8-10 hours with them on the phone over the course of 2 months and I still can't get a very simple thing resolved, which is me being able to access my online account. All of these providers fail miserably at customer service but Verizon takes the cake. Use someone else if at all possible and if not, well, good luck.

You can do nothing but go around in circles on this terrible website. The ONLY thing it's good for is pushing new services. The format is terrible - incredible amount of wasted space, leading to multiple screens and lousy readability. And nothing you want (other than how to buy more Verizon crap) is easily findable; you're constantly forced into the search function. Which returns screens and screens of options, all spread out all over the galaxy visibly. OR you get the circle of death as the website spins forever, then bounces you out. Seven attempts today to do one simple task with 7 bounces out of the page, task unaccomplished. You can spend hours here and get absolutely nowhere. Verizon should be ashamed to even show this mess.

Bait and switch
January 6, 2023

We trusted the rep at the Verizon store who told us we'd get $700 for trading in our old Google Pixels to upgrade. That was a lie. According to the fine print, what we are actually receiving is a $20 discount on our device payments every month for 3 years. If we pay off early, or upgrade early, the balance of the $700 trade in value will be forfeited.

Customer service is totally impotent, disconnected from customer accounts far enough that they cannot make this right. The only course of action is to file a dispute for arbitration. (By the way, when you do this, they respond, in essence, with "too bad so sad, should have read the fine print instead of listening to our reps.")

This is how it feels to be a dog on Verizon's leash

I switched over to Verizon. All my phones paid off. I had to pay $600 out and promised $1800 in rebates. Never got the rebates. I tried four times and then was shamed by them for not having hours out of my life with a career and kids to spend chasing money down past what I did. Customer service is out the window anymore. Corporations only care about the bottom line not the customer or their employees. People wonder why we have a staffing crisis now.
