We have been with Verizon for 10 years. They have the best coverage, customer service is quite attentive and they have knowledgeable employees in their stores. I wish the monthly plans were a little less expensive, however.

I always have the best cell service out of any of my other friends that use different cell service providers. They ask to use my phone when we are in remote places.

Great service and coverage. Pricing is a bit high, but the reliability of the network compensates for that extra expense. Obviously, the rates could be a bit lower and customers would be happier.

Verizon has the best coverage and price I've researched. I've never had a problem in the 5 years of using them.And they don't bombard me with emails or ads.

I like the veterans discount and of course, a lower bill would be nice but overall Verizon is by far my favorite cell provider and I have had Sprint, T-mobile and AT&T.

In the beginning, they were not true keeping their advertizing promises. They naturally had a reason to explain it, but I didn't bite into that worm of lies and complained until they made things right. I am not a fan of Verizon but since that initial altercation they have been good to us like they should be.

I love the coverage that this company provides but I hate the restrictions of how much data me and my family can share. If I wanted to upgrade to get more, it costs an arm and a leg. I would love to continue my service with this company but finances said no.

We were told by a CSR at our local store about a bogo offer. The s9+ if we added a line. We didn't need another line so the CSR told us to add one to get the bogo offer and once we activate the new line to cancel one of our old lines. He also told my wife that he wasn't supposed to tell people that. So when my wife called to activate the new line and cancel her old line she asked the CSR on the phone if she could keep her same number, she was told yes no problem. We knew we were going to have a larger than normal phone bill the next month but when the second month was high also she called to see why. As it turned out the CSR that was to activate our new line and cancel an old one did the opposite and now we are stuck paying for a $1000 phone. When we tried to call and get this fixed we were told sorry we can't help you now its past 50 days.

They are ok. Too expensive. I'm looking now at T-Mobile, because Verizon is too expensive and they are sneaky. They are always pushing upgrades and insurance. Insurance is a racket. I just used it to replace a phone with a broken screen. I paid $14.00 a month for more than two years then had to pay a $200.00 deductable to get a replacement phone. The replacement is not new and has numerous performance issue, but the screen isn't cracked. I would have been better off if I had avoided the insurance and just paid for a new phone. But their sales staff doesn't tell you the details and it's impossible to read the fine print of the contract, especially after spending two hours in the store just to buy a cell phone. My next phone will be an unlocked phone purchased from e bay and will then select the provider I want.

I like the coverage area. I can get calls or texts almost anywhere. That is very important to me. As far as improvements, the billing system and charges needs to be simplified. Costs need to come down.

FIOS works well most of the time. Speed is almost always what it is supposed to be. But, boy, when you gotta call for help, what a nightmare. Next to impossible to get the reps to LISTEN when you don't have a run of the mill problem. They keep repeating their scripts that don't apply.

I have used Verizon for my cell phone provider for years. The coverage is great and I rarely get dropped or muffled calls. The only problem I have is that it’s easy to get confused by the pricing and customer service always gives differing information, depending on who you speak to.

In store customer service is the worst. Waiting time is always at least one hour and then you get a rep that doesn't know how to do their job. I had one store rep shout across the counter and past the customer she was working with "Why are you staring at me!". Frankly I didn;t know she was there until I heard her shrill voice. I was staring at the back of the customer's back while leaning against a column, since I'm disabled, at 10 feet away! Later when my turn came up, she took another customer ahead of me instead. When I complained, she said I gave my turn up. What? Why would I do that after waiting an hour in pain? But that's not the best part. After we got into an argument, this minimum wage worker shouted for the whole shop to hear: "Get out of MY store!" I replied she is an employee and it was not her store. It belonged to Verizon. She called security to escort me out. And my monthly bill is about $130 and this is how I get treated? I just needed someone to insert my SIM card in my new hone that replaced a stolen one. A simple 1-minute job for someone who knows how to do it. But this is no isolated case. Time and time again at different stores even, I get poor customer service and have to wait for it. And I pay more than 2 to 3 times what my friends pay for a single line at competitors. In the end she made a good sale for T-Mobile for better service and 1/3 of the cost.

Bait and switch sales tactics. Signed up for unlimited data based on the sales associate explaining that throttling would only occur when network volume required it. Found out that Verizon automatically restricts data speeds to near dial up speed as soon as a device reaches its cap, regardless of volume on the network.

We switched over from AT&T to Verizon thinking it would be cheaper and better coverage - WRONG. It might be a good option depending on the area you live. In my particular area, I get worse coverage than I did with AT&T and my bill is way more expensive.

We have been a customer for as long as I can remember. In the last few months our service has been horrible. I cannot even get through a phone call at my own home. I always drop service driving down my street. Also, it doesn't seem to load very well when I am off wifi. It's the first time I have considered leaving and going to another company.

Verizon is hands-down the best coverage provider and customer service. They are a GREAT company, but that comes with increased cost. That is the ONLY reason I do not use them anymore. You get what you pay for, though! If I had the money, I'd switch back no question!

I have been a Verizon customer for many years. Over time, I have seen customer service go down and prices go up. The only reason I have stayed with them is because they seemed to have the best reception in my area. I have recently seen commercials for other companies claiming to be as good or better than Verizon in this regard yet they offer much better prices. I may give them a try.

was with verizon for a few years back in early 2000 when you had to pay 'long distance' fees for some calls. Had to dial 10 digits ALWAYS, but didnt know if it was LD until you got whacked with charges on your bill. asked if there was a way for me to know before i called, they said NO. I canceled my account, they kept charging and I didn't pay. 7 years later it dropped off my credit report! came back to them in 2006, after a generous employer discount I received. Had numerous connection issues for next 5 years, always replacing devices. they claimed the building was interfering with the repeaters. Then all of a sudden, the service got better. I received a MUCH larger discount through AT&T, so switched from verizon to them. With all my travels, I can say that verizon COVERAGE is usually MUCH better than any other. But when you have issues, you will get terrible support from them. Factory reset is their solution to every issue. Samsung Note 4, got 4 updates in 16 months. 1st one, battery dies within 5 hours of use. they replaced battery, worked fine without FR. 2nd one battery issues again, they replaced DEVICE first... repeated process. same results. Replaced battery, worked fine. 3rd one, battery issues AND SD card issues (samsung card). Would no longer read in phone or computer. Samsung replaced card, verizon replaced battery... all was well again, without FR. 4th one, battery issues AGAIN. Replaced battery, not much improvement. This time the VERIZON app (also updated), would kick you out after device check. Verizon solution? uninstall app update, which worked.... It's one thing after another with verizon. at end of my 2 years, i'll be going back to AT&T. I'm currently paying $178 for 2 lines (18gb data) with verizon, and my at&t account I have 5 lines (30gb data & 2 device fees) and paying $174. My last time using verizon

The new scam from Verizon Wireless, it's the Jetpack. They don't tell you how much faster it uses data than your iPhone. They tell you as long as you don't download music or movies it doesn't use much data and if you're just looking at email of surfing the web for a short amount of time, it doesn't have a negative impact on your data usage. I called Verizon Wireless because after 16 days I received a text from them indicating I was at 50% of my data usage. Per my conversation with the customer rep I was told to make sure I turn it off when I was not using it because it is using a ‘SMALL' amount of data even if you're not using it. How come the little detail was omitted at the time of purchase. My bill went from using less than 6g a month to over 12. When I called I was told to buy more data or pay the overage ($15/g). This device is a scam, they told me it would cost $10 a month and won't have a significant impact on my current data usage. To increase my data to the next level it cost $20 now I'm up to $30. Due to deceptive sales practices I tried to get out of my contract but was told the penalty for early termination is $175 (this is the big part of the scam). A Lower level service rep suspended the service for 6 months said they would cut the cost in half, because of the deceptive sales practices. After six months I called back and I asked to talk to a supervisor he (Robert) told me to bad you have to pay the penalty in full $175. I've been a Verizon customer since 1994, I was told how much they appreciated my loyally, but sorry we can't do a thing for you. BEWARE what you buy from Verizon Wireless their only interest is to scam you for as much money as they can. Please beware of their new scams and deceptive sales practices.

The absolute worst customer service ever. Trying to get a resolution to issues and each operator will pass the buck claiming it's out of their training capabilities. When asking for a supervisor the operators will leave customer on permanent hold or transfer so many times it will hang up line, when I called back only to go through the same horrible experience. I've had and on going issue with VZW for 2 years with billing and no resolution yet. I hate calling every month attempting to get help only to be lied to. I've been told someone higher than a supervisor will be calling that call never happened. Operators will hang up when they can't solve issues, they don't keep notes on your account so you won't have to explain multiple times . If we did not travel across the USA with our trucking business I would find another cell service but nobody in USA has better connection. I also don't want to be charged for beating the 2 year contract Im bound to. As a lo g time customer they call me VIP but trat me like crap everytime, I've sought out an attorney for my ongoing g issue, inconvenience pain and suffering.

I have come to the fact that after my contract is up I will not renew with Verizon. Their help after my accident and trying to get caught up was horrible. They only cared about when and how much you could pay without giving you a chance to speak. I carry four lines for my family, and could do their prepay and get the same service without all the extra cost. New customers can get better promotions than existing customers, which means they don't care much about current because you are locked in but just getting new customers. For almost two years now I have been disappointed in what they offer.

I started using this service about 6 months ago. Compared to my previous service, I'm paying 3 times more $$, which is absolutely redic. I changed to Verizon due to needed USA wide coverage due to traveling. If I didn't have to travel, I would definitely change to another service due to the cost being so high.
