MARIE-NOELLE MARQUIS Los Angeles, CA

I made the switch to Verizon back when AT&T was Cingular wireless because I was fed up with bad reception and my calls dropping. Since then I have been a faithful Verizon customer and I LOVE everything about them. Their customer service is stellar. One of the very very very few companies where I don’t cringe if I have to call them. I know they will answer promptly and will be efficient and helpful. They are excellent at crediting stuff back if you need them to and so far they seem to have continued to hire Americans for their customer service. (Nothing against India but I’m a firm supporter of hiring in the country you do business in) I live in one area where their service didn’t reach and they were helpful at brainstorming solutions. I tried to switch to T-mobile at that time but their Customer service was Such a headache it was actually easier to use Wi-Fi calling and stay with Verizon. Their international coverage is also fantastic. Highly recommend them.

love this company. while there cell phones are price but so is everyone else if you wish for the latest and greatest as they come off the line there services are top notch. I have been with Verizon since 2001 when I switch from a provider that could not give me service in the home I currently reside in. when they say they have enough towers they mean it been in most parts of the United States and it is so rare that I can't use my phone or map on my phone unlike my other friends with other providers have the same phones but they have no service in there homes or can't even use there maps or gps because in the mountains they loose service like no ones business.

I was a Verizon customer for 8 years and have never had a good experience. Free upgrades were non-existent, salesmen would not deal with you if you weren't willing to pay a premium and salesmen/ store managers signed me up for services without authorization after I said no. On three occasions at three different stores I was signed up for every add in product without consent of any sort and the store managers lied about payment terms. Bills always arrived at double what was agreed upon. No trust worthy business operations at this store. Experience is worse than buying a car. To make matters worse after all the bad experiences I switched carriers, called Verizon customer service and paid account up to date. Now three months later they through a debt into collections which was already paid and tanked my credit score. Absolutely worst customer service I have received in any establishment

Verizon Lies when discussing making payment to pay off a phone. Verizon said this would not affect my credit. THEY LIED. Earlier this year I switched from Verizon to AT&T, as AT&T had much better pricing and the exact same service as far as I could tell. Because LG had stopped making phones, when my previous LG stopped working properly, I had to switch to a Samsung. As we all know, that is expensive, and I arranged to have that added to my monthly bill to make payments. At the time I got the new Samsung, I had no idea I was going to switch providers. After switching, Verizon notified me that the full balance of $912.25 was due to pay off my Samsung. Unable to make a one-time payment, I asked if I could make monthly payments to pay it off. The Verizon representative told me that would be no problem. They went through the process and gave me the website on which I could go and make my monthly payments, which I did on time every month for a couple of months. I watch my credit rating very closely and I asked if it would affect my credit. I was told it would not. That representative and Verizon lied. Within about 3 months, I received notification that my account had been submitted to a collections company. Verizon reported me to the credit reporting agencies, even though their representative said they would not. Verizon Lied! My credit rating took a big hit Now, when I call Verizon and try to speak to somebody about why they lied and sent me to a collections company, I'm unable to get through and am automatically referred to that collection company. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING Verizon TELLS YOU! IF THEY LIE ABOUT ONE THING, THEY WILL LIE ABOUT ANYTHING. DO NOT TRUST Verizon.

I have been a Verizon customer for years. Their service was great when I lived closer to a larger city. Now that I live on the coast it seems I am on the fringe of Verizon’s coverage. I also do not use a lot of data, but Verizon wants me to upgrade to a “better” plan which would only cost me more per month and not add much benefit n

Connectivity pretty good. But petty, grasping, and bureaucratic. Dreadful customer service. It takes ten minutes to get through their telephone maze to a live person. They charge me $10 a day for "international roaming" when I never left America. When I complain, it's "it must have been your fault," and "our system doesn't lie." Oh, and I do? Trying to sign up for an international roaming plan, they tell me "you don't qualify."

Verizon’s Deceptive Practices and Dreadful Customer Service If you are considering using VERIZON mobile service, please be aware of my experience and think twice about it. Since, I switched to Verizon, three months ago, I have experienced multiple rate increases, mishandling of credits and promotions, and abysmal customer service. Here is my experience: In mid-June 2023, my family and I decided to switch from T-Mobile to Verizon. We were promised a rate of $185 monthly for five phone, that we could trade in our 5 T-Mobile phones for 5 Verizon phones (4 Samsung Galaxy S23 Pluses and 1 iPhone 14) and receive credit for the phones and $200 for each in Verizon rewards and receive two free Samsung Galaxy watches and activate two lines for $5 each. I also paid $2600 to cancel my Tmobile plan. Prior to switching, two agents assured us that the monthly rate for all the lines transferred would be about $185 a month. A third agent I talked to when I received a higher bill, even gave me slightly a lower monthly amount, around $182, and assured me he would fix the billing error. Transferring the phone numbers took several trips to a Verizon store and calls to customer service because of the poor instructions received to transfer the numbers. But it seemed like we had finally made the transfer. After I received and activated the new phones, in mid/late June 2023, following Verizon’s instructions, I shipped our 5 old T-Mobile phones within the box the company provided, with the UPS label it received, attached to the box. All of the five phones had been shipped together and Verizon received the box with them. Nevertheless, weeks later, Verizon informed me that one phone was missing and it refused to credit me for the phone. I do not have the phone in my possession. I shipped with the other four phones Verizon acknowledges the receipt. If, in fact, one phone was missing, it was not my responsibility, but either Verizon's who received the phones or UPS's who delivered them. Since Verizon hired UPS, and I just dropped the box at UPS in Westchester County, NY, there is no way I can investigate the matter or be responsible for its disappearance. Several agents I contacted stated that the phone was likely lost in their warehouse. One of them, who identified himself as Michael, after a two-hour call, assured me that he located the tracking number, confirmed that Verizon received all the five phones. However, he said, one of them had a description of having a 128 GB memory and the actual memory was 256 GB. Because of this discrepancy in information, the receipt of the phone was not processed. Michael promised to escalate the matter with detailed information about what had happened and said it would be resolved within three business days. Like similar promises I received to that the matter would be resolved, it never was. I also filed a complaint before Verizon Executive Relations. The complaint received the number CASE 297781 and was assigned to Executive Relations Marshall. I have countless times called and emailed Marshall. He never takes or returns my calls or replies to my emails. Meanwhile, as aforementioned, I was promised a monthly rate around $185 for all lines to switch to Verizon. The first bill I received was $497.88. The second totaled $245.69. The third bill was $317.54. Verizon App currently informs me that my new monthly bill would be $247,27. Out of nowhere, Verizon, without my knowledge and permission, has changed my plan to one that does not include promotional credits and is about 60% higher than the $185 rate I was told by three agents. I have spent close to 40 hours, talking to numerous Verizon agents, as well as with two supervisors, Tyler (who hung up on me) and Lis, trying to adjust the bill to what I was told it would be. Despite Verizon's multiple promises to correct the issue, it never did. It actually keeps changing and increasing my bills, every month. The two last agents I talked to, Rodrigo (on 09/08/23) and Joyce (on 09/09/23), said they could not tell me what my monthly rate is. Lis, Joyce’s supervisor, (on 09/09/73) said that she could see in the records of my calls that I was promised a rate of $185. However, Lis said she couldn’t honor that rate. In addition, she could not inform me what my monthly rate actually is. Whatever estimate she would provide me, she said, it would be a rough one, and it could be different than what we would actually be charged. Now, I would like to cancel Verizon's service due to its deceptive business practices, negligent handling of my property, and its continued disregard for me as a customer. For this, Verizon has stated it will charge me $5466 to cancel (no guarantee, it could be less or more). This is outrageous and wrong. Changing my mobile services to Verizon was one of the biggest mistakes I have done and one of the most dreadful experiences I have had. It is a deceitful company, that does not honor its word, misinform the customers, and provide an abysmal customer service. Verizon is a greedy $138 billion business, with a CEO Hans Vestberg who reportedly is paid nearly $20 millio a year, who needs to deceive customers and make a few extra bucks from retired teachers who live on budget, like me.

Excellent service, but go to the bank! I had Verizon for over 15 years! They dropped the 20% discount to $25 off. They are the most expensive service there is in my area. Other cellular carriers are stepping up their game and they offer the 20% discount.

i tried there home internet service and it was horrible from day 1 I had to had to have multiple modems and when I decided that it wasn't going to work for me it was a real headache to even send the 2 modems back. I was told that I would get a credit on my account for the inconvenience I never received it, I had to call numerous times just to get the charges removed from my account and this ending up being a nightmare as I have had their cell phone service phone 20 plus years and they are just going down hill. I am truly disappointed that I never received what promised and that the service has gotten so terrible especially the customer service as they don't do what they keep their word on what is to be done

Customer Service at Verizon is top notch...Quick to respond to any issue Ive contacted them about Although I have very rarely ever had any issues with this company at all. They have great coverage...little to none if any dropped calls...Never had an issue with connection. Took a vacation went several hundred miles from home , Never had a minutes trouble or interruption in Service! They are a bit higher in price Though they do offer service plans to fit about any budget. For Quality Service...and Quick Response Time, and Great Customer Care.. Its Definately Worth Paying For!!

Verizon is one of the companies that reaches nearly everywhere. If Verizon can't give you service, you know no other company can. Just walk a few places and surely service will be obtained. The phones are conveniently put on a monthly fee called Edge Program. No contracts any longer, just buy a phenom of a phone and be reassured you're in safe hands.

i have used verizon for a long time,and have found them to be just ok..the service area is good,but the phones offered are no longer "free" to customers as they once were and to upgrade, you must pay a lot..you CANNOT get a real person on the phone and must do it all online or on your phone,whether its an issue with billing or your phone..i paid online one month and then got a "nastygram" e mail saying they had not receive my payment..i had to jump through hoops online to get a new log in code,doing it over several times, and then it didnt stay online! ifinally just went online, paid the double amount and never got a thank you or a notice of my other payment,even though i had a confirmation number..i may switch to someone else...!

My favorite part about my phone plan besides the great coverage it has in my area, but the hot spot I can turn on when I'm in the car and my kids can use their Wi-Fi electronics on the go! Also I love how employ's will go above and beyond to help when I've had an issue with my phone. The price I pay a month is a good price its about the average price other cell service offer.

Currently have Verizon as a phone carrier. They are great, a little pricier, but good coverage. If you go anywhere outside the US they will get you with their outrageous fees ($10 bucks a day to use cell service). My sister has a different carrier and foreign travel is included in her phone bill and the bill is still significantly less than mine.

I've used Verizon for 10+ years. Their service availability is top notch. I've been in some fairly remote places camping and able to find service when no one else could. I also like their new verizon up rewards where I can use credits towards small rewards. I haven't dealt too much with the customer service side of things, so can't comment on how good/bad that is.

I get pretty good cell service everywhere I go. I really like that. I have the all you can use and anytime internet service and anytime minutes as much as you need on a family share plan. So I have my family of four on the plan. But the internet slows down for us after the first week. So even though we can 'use all the data we want '. Verizon slows it down and it's not really all we want. My bill each month is very high around $400 a month but I am paying on some equipment to. So mixed feelings.

We have had good service with Verizon. We used a competitor for almost 20 years but when we moved to the rural south, they just did not have good coverage. We switched to Verizon and we've been happy. There are still plenty of areas where coverage is spotty in rural areas, but it's much better than our previous service. Verizon seems to have excellent customer service and the people who work in their stores are knowledgable.

In my office we have employees with T Mobile, ATT and 2 people with Verizon. I am one of the Verizon users because I travel and it has good coverage. However in the last 6 months I have received rob calls every day. They began with numbers that were similar to mine. I dutifully blocked each one daily. Now the calls are from all over the country and the leave messages in Chinese. We polled we discovered that the only people in our office who get these calls are Verizon users.

I like their expansive coverage areas; I get calls when people with other providers do not. I understand that "you get what you pay for", but their charges & fees are excessive! My experiences are usually pleasant when in the stores and I believe they have quality people working for them, but they need someone within the company that can make some cuts so that the charges aren't so high. At the very least, they can offer some type of discount for families like mine who have 6 devices on the account for over 10 years.

It's the only cell service in my area and I rarely have issues. Now the bad news, their solution to regulating your childs data usage is to cancel the phone service for 90 days. Even better, canceling for 90 days doesn't prevent your child from using his phone via a wifi connection. Their backup solution to that is to take your childs phone and install an app that allows you to monitor and regulate their data. Really?

We have used Verizon for the past few years as our cell provider. We originally chose them because the price was the best for what we were needing. They had a great deal for switching over to use them that we were able to take advantage of and basically get a new phone. Their coverage is great. We have found very few spots where we don't have service (generally when we are out camping or hiking). Every time I have called in needing help they have been very helpful and kind. I would recommend them if you are looking for a reliable service.

It's 2016, there should be service everywhere. The problem I have with them is that they are really expensive. I pay about $140 for two lines of service. I think that's a little crazy and they've tried to help me lower my bill which is nice but I still think it's pricey.
