I have had cell phone service plans with AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile and recently switched to Verizon expecting better coverage and service. What a big mistake! This is by far the WORST customer service experience from the word go. Its been a month and we have spent countless hours on phone with Verizon to fix various issues from device activation to billing. One department forwards us to another, and all of them don’t talk and are highly disconnected. Sales messed up while selling us the plans for our devices for their sales cut and now we are stuck with their mess. We regret every day moving to this horrible business as we don’t trust their customer service anymore.

Have been with Verizon over 10 years and have finally decided to leave after the most recent trade-in. Traded in for the new Iphone 13 being told I had the option of a one time credit or a monthly credit. I was told after I sent in my device they would appraise it and confirm with me which method I would like the credit to be applied. After months of not hearing back I called and was told it was being applied monthly and, since 3 months have passed, there was no way to apply the credit as a one time credit. Being a loyal customer after 10+ years they took my device, did not disclose to me the method I would receive credit, and then agreed they'd rather lose me then solve the issue.

Pros: Great customer service, big selection of products and services and up front prices. Cons: Prices tend to be a bit higher compared to other wireless providers.

Verizon uses bureaucracy and size 4 font to deny, withhold, or reclaim any promised rebates. From sign on to departure, every step of the way with Verizon was bogged down with gotchas. The ONLY thing I can say for Verizon is that they do deliver on a comprehensive network coverage. However, I will NEVER do business with them again. When I switched over, Verizon had a "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) deal going. I was supposed to receive $450 per line that I brought over, and I brought over 3 lines. $1350 sounds pretty sweet, right? This deal is a lie. + I accidentally disqualified one of my lines by upgrading a device less than 45 days after setting up my account. + It took me 10+ hrs to find someone who could actually explain how the rebate works and apply the credit to my bill(s). There is no prepaid card, because the rebate can only be used to pay your Verizon bill, but there is no automatic application of the credit to your account. When you call, they will transfer you endlessly between depts that know nothing about this. + When I left Verizon, my final bill included a "rebate adjustment" because I left less than 12 months (or 24 months? different requirement depending on who I talk to) after signing up. In other words, my "no contract" account feels like I have a contract, because I have to stay with Verizon for up to 2 years to keep my rebates. + Verizon charged my "final bill" to my autopay card, even though my autopay should have had a limit to avoid being charged TEN TIMES my normal amount, I did not authorize the charge, and I could not pull the credit card from my profile (they shut down my online account). + None of these rebate requirements were sent to me by email or displayed anywhere in my profile. I had to take note of the requirements on a pop-up on the main website. Also: + The website was so awful I had to call to make sure my BYOD deal was applied, and they charged me $20/line for the over-the-phone service. Even though I had no way to self-serve through the website. + During my upgrade process, I was allowed to select the Start Unlimited Plan, but in the backend I was bumped up to the premium Play More Unlimited Plan because the trade-in rebate "required a premium plan". This mandatory upgrade was not obvious in the interface. + A $394 trade-in for my device upgrade was approved, but the egift card was never emailed to me. Again, hours of speaking to reps to get the credit applied to my account.

I have been a long time Verizon user. I requested for a temp international plan to start in July, and end on Aug 12, 2021. I didn't notice until in mid December, 2021 that this service wasn't stopped as it supposed to, and they having been charging me for that service of $100 every month (I use automatic payment through my bank). I called Verizon, was put on hold, and the estimated time was said to be 40 min. Well, I was still on hold after 90 min. The online "chat with us" only gave you the same response and is useless. I scheduled a call back and finally got a live person on the line. Guess what? They transferred me twice, and I was put on hold again endlessly. Never experience anything worse than Verizon.

Horrid company one agent will tell you one thing another something totally different. The chat agents have zero power, and don’t do anything. They are all fine getting you phones of sales, but as soon as troubles come up like rebates, and their gift cards you are out of luck. I came from T-Mobile which does have worse service, but their customer service makes Verizon’s look like drugged out junkies. I had Verizon twice now, once was before unlimited plans, I had 30 gbs and I was fine with it, they tricked me into going unlimited, assured me it really was, than banned my USB modem and hot spot, and expected me to keep paying them for them. I had satellite at the time, and canceled that due too thinking Verizon wasn’t shady. This second time I ordered 4000 worth of phones, because they told me if I switched from T-Mobile they would give me gift cards of 500. Than they told me I missed the 1000 dollar gift cards by a day. The second person on the phone when I ported told me i would get it, the third on the phone tired to scam me into trading in devices, and told me there was no gift cards. The 4th after I told them to cancel my account tried to scam me into thinking their were gift cards again, I don’t how you guys tolerate this level of shady people. If you do business with these scum make sure you can take a hit to your score, if you already have good credit I don’t know why you would buy a phone from these people, when you can buy unlocked and switch when ever, or use straight talk on Verizon for a fraction of the price. Verizon customers and sales remind me of a brainwashed cult. They even say garbage like welcome to the family. These people are sick.

I have been a verizon customer from when it was still Bell Atlantic. I have had many years of good reliable service. I think the were the best for cell phone carrier for most of that time. Over the past year they have gone so far down hill. I completely lose data all the time I lose me phone completely and get a message that I can only make emergency calls. Now they have shut off hot spots built in phones. So my plan was for unlimited everything including my hot spot and without notice it is just eliminated. Customer service is impossible to get a hold of. Now they try to send customer service and tech support calls to a text bot that normally does not work. I can't imagine they will stay in business much longer like this. I am going to switch. No other service could possibly be worst.

If I could give them -10 stars I would. I know this review won’t make a difference cuz I haven’t seen a single response from Verizon. But I traded in my brand new iPhone 11 for the iPhone 12 and switched from t-mobile. I was supposed to get 700$ off the 12 but they are charging me for buying the 12 without giving them a brand new iPhone. They said that the equipment was included but apparently they charged $500 for that too. I switched from t mobile for this. The coverage is a little bit better, but not worth a brand new iPhone 11 just given away. I’m so close to switching back to t-mobile.

I was with AT&T with a family plan. Verizon was more expensive - $40 per month - but had better coverage. Our 3 phones on AT&T on two different time lines. When we moved to Verizon, I wanted to consolidate the time. In the store, the Verizon rep assured me I could bring over the third phone 3months later and add it to the plan and all 3 would be on the same time line. My wife and daughter got new phones from Verizon - the exact same phone. My wife's had no problems, but daughters kept dropping calls. We went to the store and they said the phone needed a software update, which they did right there. We returned two more times, but the problem persisted. On the fourth visit, I insisted on a replacement. The rep said it was over 90 days and we would have to pay for the replacement. - $250. I pointed out we had been in there 3 times within the 90 days to fix it, but Verizon claimed they had no record of that. I had to pay because the early termination fee was outrageous. When the contract expired after two years, I jumped back to AT&T. Three months later, I received a $750 bill for the third phone early termination. Hello! All three phones were on the same contract and I paid cash up front for the third phone, no time payments. I, of course refused to pay it, and Verizon dinged my credit. I had to write a rebuttal to restore my credit. Fortunately, I had receipts, but I will never do business with Verizon again and I recommend against them every chance I get.

The service was pretty good. I would probably rate this service with 4 or 5 stars if it weren't for the process of changing to a new service for work. They require a transfer PIN (no other major carrier does). An automated Transfer PIN request generates a link to a website, which displays an attractive two lines of error code. The Customer Service line puts you on hold to speak to a representative, offers to help you 'skip the line' by chatting with a robot that doesn't know anything, and hangs up if you do anything but initiate the pointless chat. In short, there is no path to talking to a Service Representative. They may not even staff them. Both I and the T-mobile rep in their store were at a loss about what to do to get around Verizon's straight incompetency in customer service. Having worked an IT job for five years, I can say with decent authority that Verizon is a load of hogwash.

I have been with Verizon wireless for over a decade or close to it. All this company sees is money and they train their employees to do so. It is a corporate hivemind based on money, money and more money. Yes, they offer fairly great coverage and all of the phone options BUT if you ever slip up or go through a rough patch in life, they won't work with you, AT ALL. I am a well compensated individual for the work that I perform but it takes awhile to turn around and find the right positions for my level and above. Yes, I hear those that say be more financially responsible and all that but even at the corporate level, they get bailed out by the public constantly. I will be paying off my small past due amounts immediately and leaving Verizon quickly. As consumers, we will vote with our dollar and I intend to do so. Their CEO has a record of being bought and inputting the businesses capital in the wrong places for the generation currently moving into leadership throughput the world. Verizon should be broken up and broken down for the power they hold and I have never been more disturbed by such a stronghold on their love and greed for money. They are showing us their cards pretty quickly and they don't deserve my business and my future business. To the employees, this is not directed at you but you also probably already know as well. Considering I wasn't speaking to someone in my own country (not an issue) it may show that they already are jumping ship. Sad...

At&t and tmobile were much better for: Responsive customer service No ghost charges Lower cost Better or at least same quality service (switched to V expected better coverage, but truly weaker than tmobile and att) Too high cost to leave due to that 2year contract Faught them literally for 4 to 6 hours multiple follow up and repeat calls .. to get some unknown charges reverted After that drama got over, learned they reported a crazy amount overdue to Collections and even to Experian that badly affected my credit. Wasted another hour on the phone to hear their stupid apologies and promise to have their managers fix... Have auto pay On and no pending payments. And, fortunately, have never used Verizon before. Unsure how could they come up with that overdue amount of 1K+ that was times more than my monthly bills... Reported that false claim.... However, the company is far more reckless and worse quality service and support....expected.

Verizon Wireless has probably what I would consider the worst customer service I have ever encountered. After using them for our wireless service for many years we decided that with Covid-19 and staying home using our wifi, we decided to cancel our account and switch to another provider who offered a far less expensive plan using less data. We cancelled our Verizon account and were assured by Verizon customer service that our account was cancelled. Then promptly we continued to receive bills from Verizon for a service that we had cancelled and no longer used. After several calls to customer service we were assured that our account had been cancelled and the bills we had received would be reversed. After this we continued to be notified by Verizon for new billing cycles and when we tried to contact them we could not reach them as we had no account there and could not receive service if we had no account. In no instance were we contacted by Verizon to correct this situation. Finally, after 5 months subsequent to cancelling our account we received a notice from Verizon that our account was delinquent and we were turned over to a collection agency, who contacted us. We explained the situation to them and were assured the charges would be reversed and the bills would stop coming. Then we received a credit report that showed delinquent payments and a reduction of our credit score from 829 to 699. Accordingly, we contacted the 3 credit reporting agencies to dispute the delinquent score and also contacted Verizon, who said they "did their due diligence to correct the wrongful billing" but they made no attempt to rescind the incorrect credit score issue. We have never had this situation in over 35 years of making payments on services and had almost a perfect credit score that reflects our constant diligence in making on time payments. Now we are being wrongly accused of not making payments on a service that we had cancelled months before. Verizon has to be the most inept, incompetent, uncommunicative, uncaring company with whom we have dealt, worse even than cable companies. I would avoid using them at all costs. I only wish I could give them zero stars.

Verizon wireless my cheating partner - You are stuck till you find out. Wow. Verizon is for sure reading all this but not claiming this or responding to anyone. No worries I moved from ATT to Verizon wireless 3 months ago. My experiences with leadership team ( Tier 2 customer service ) 1. This department calls themselves as leadership but they are tier 2 customer service. For sure to ask for ‘Office of Management or CEO’ . They will avoid it by lying but if you insist they will set up a call. Office of Managemnet may take 24-48 hours to respond, even if customer issue is 911. 2. Since joining Verizon I had six experiences with Verizon leadership ( Tier 2 ) and one with office of leadership /CEO. 3. I got a call from this office from a male named Carlos. Call details A) Carlos heard me for 35-40 minutes and tried to show his calm. As I finished sharing my experiences with leadership ( Tier 2) stating with facts they are 1. Not true leadership and lack the skills and Need to be trained 2. They need not make promises if they can’t follow through. Which means directly they lie on your face 3. They are disrespectful and talk over you. They don’t listen at all. They just want to talk. 4. They have some level of fear from office of leadership, who is just like them. 5. They will never change with time. They still live in 19th century mindset. As you know most Verizon employees retire from the company so they have been around for 25-35 years. 6. There website, app and new credit card looks fine but their website is misleading. The marketing department is doing a poor job in publishing offers which are misleading, not transparent. In other words they are duping you and not letting you exercise their rights. As customer gets attracted to these offers with no specific disclaimers they learn they are trapped. FYI All offers are contingent on your spending limit on account. It’s not mentioned anywhere. For example their latest offer of free iphone purple mini 64 GB will be offered it you add or port a line. When asked from leadership why did your telesales, customer service and porting Dept not share this critical information. The leadership responds this is our internal policy. If you ask to show you a copy they will deny. What does that mean. Millions of telephone subscribers are shopping around for new carrier and offers. They are mislead by Verizon leadership ( Tier 2) and office of leadership, who don’t want to take responsibility of what is going on. They state ‘customer should know it’ Wow. Right? Carlos as I finished talking said thank you for VENTING. I told him I was not venting but stating facts / incidents / name of leadership ( Tier 2 customer service) with date stamped. I was sincerely giving a constructive feedback. I asked Carlos to take his words back. He denied. As the call progresses Carlos was speaking the same language which I have been hearing for 3 month ( similar personalty) of Tier 2 support. He continued to defend actions of his tier 2 leadership and marketing Dept. I told him to look at the offer later on his own. He said which offer? Then days immediately it states based on credit check? Fact is account is already opened and there is no credit check needed. Spending limit is decided already. When I told Carlos i am adding your name in my list, suddenly he changed his demeanor and become soft spoken and polite. What a change? He asked what I wanted. He talked with such conviction as if he will fix Verizon mindset right away. I simply stated they need to honor there offer. He declined and shared same answer like his tier 2 leadership. I could read between lines several tines he was very unhappy to hear the truth. No one likes to see their face if shown. I also informed him I could hear he is not happy with my constructive feedback. He denied. I knew taking to Verizon was waste of time. Carlos forgot the basic lesson learnt of business ‘ Listen to customer, mediate and do your best’ The reason being it’s because of customers they have a Job. I stated to him is was not a good idea on Verizon part to annoy customers. I have personally seen big business fail due to poor leadership. Time changes but certain entities or people never change unless they go through setbacks.

Let me first start by saying I’ve been a Verizon customer for over 20 years. I usually have two phones on my account. I am completely and utterly disappointed and saddened by Verizon. Time after time with different customer service representatives I had to use my time and energy to voice the same concerns over and over again. It all started when they came out with the new iPhone 12 Pro. They had a promo that would credit your bill $440 for the exchange of my iPhone XR which was in excellent condition. I saw this promo and said “you know, what the heck, let me just go for it and upgrade”. However, when I received my bill, it was a completely different story. Oddly, my bill kept increasing month after month with no legitimate justification or explanation. After the eighth time of calling trying to have someone fix the situation I ended it with Verizon once and for all. I told them to keep the phone I’m done. With this said.. I was really saddened by this, given my trust & dedication to this company for so many years and then being treated so poorly by them, left a bitter taste in my mouth. I am and forever done with Verizon. I’ve encouraged all of my business partners, friends, family & associates to ditch them. Unfortunately lack of training, lack of following up and lack of customer service skills leads to a company breakdown from the inside out. So sad, take your business elsewhere.

If I could give 0 stars I would! I used to be a promoter of Verizon until this last couple of years. They used to be proud about the great customer service they provide but now is like they forgot how to help they customers and treat them right. I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 +5G when it came out. I had to pay on my bill an extra fee for the 5G and here is a kicker, I have never once been on 5G. Nowhere online, stores or commercials specified that when you buy the note 10 + 5G you will be on the 5G ulta netwoek. What that means is that you will only get 5G in major cities. What's the point of advertising that's a 5G phone if you can't use it? When I talked to a store representative they told me the nationwide and Ulta band are 2 things and it was my fault for buying the phone. When asked for a manager and I tried to explained the situation she told me to shut up. My husband didn't took that well and decided we were going to leave Verizon. After the manager realized we were going to terminate our service she offered to upgrade me to a 5G Nationwide and add a $200 credit if I was willing to trade my phone in. What she neglected to mentioned was that she would trade my phone after I had fully paid my phone. That offer was basically worthless. I would get a $200 credit but I would have to pay $1000 to pay off my phone. At this point, my husband and I finishing our phone payments to move away from Verizon as they don't care for their customers.

Verizon has the worst customer service I have ever experienced with any company in my life. They put profits ahead of nearly everything and make it impossible for you to leave their company if you are trying to switch. Verizon has cost my family tens of thousand over the years and after being with them for so long it hurts feeling like I have been taking advantage of. Customers are clearly not valued here given my awful experiences with their customer service. It may sound good on paper, but after all is said and done you will be wishing you never chose to use their products and or services. Verizon has always marketed itself as the best with the best coverage, but with today's technological improvements there are so many other great options that are better priced than Verizon. Please use Verizon as a last resort.

Farz Dayton, OH

Tried to make online purchase after entering everything the contract would not load so chatted with several agent decided to delete everything and redo. After several attempt it went through. I was frustrated and forgot to choose color. At store realized and was told they cannot do anything it is an online purchase, came home called everyone had no one could look at my order since I was never asked to create username and password more than ten people did not know what to do they were sending me authorization code but could not use it, some said try to register your phone and I found it is locked now. Now they were all saying you have to go to the store to unlock so far all information was wrong. Next day decided to call on the way to the store 30 min away god lucky he know how to unlock the account. talked to several agent all saying you need to go to the store to change the phone. Since the store was not helpful at all I needed know exactly what to do before going there. Finally there was very nice lady she said who cared and said any authorized store should do the exchange when I pointed they they will not have the color for both phones she helped me find a store with several units of both and called them. I was so happy. The 4th day I drove 70 to this they told me they cannot do it the system is showing I need 1500 down payment and I need to drive 90 min the the other store that would not even talk to me to fix the issue. I thought ok I will call they will probably fix the issue first call told me an online purchase needs to be taken to other store to be recorded and wait til they are shipped to that store. When I asked to talk to customer loyalty he said I will transfer you and hang up here goes 30 min wait. By this time I gave up seeing everyone is saying the solution is that you leave us and figure it out on your own. So I said OK I will return these phones here and ask the online people to help me. The store said we will try, and after few minutes told me no it cannot be done my only option is to close the account. At the same time I wa on hold with customer loyalty or worry free returns for 40 min. After the return was done finally someone picked up the phone. When I explained my situation he said sorry it didn't work out. So this is the number one wireless company. There is no customer service no one will help you or care, is there a complaint department he said no I am the complaint department. I said at least make a note to the management that if your agent do not make percentage of customer they do not care to even talk to you. I mean how hard is it for the store to call the online to resolve the their mistake. They just say if I don't make few hundred off of this guy just send him to the next guy, or how hard is it to put managers that know how to resolve issues and ask the employees if you don't know how to help direct them to the right source and ask your supervisor who probably don't know because I asked and they did the same if it was online they would say go to the store if it was store they would say go to the online or other store. I hope this will at least help someone, because I do not think it will help Verizon.

visited local Verizon office to get Verizon cell phone repaired. Unscrupulous salesman told me my phone was out of date an not able to update. Was told a new phone(s) and a new plan would cost less than my current plan and outdated plan, all lies. When I got my next bill it was twice what I was currently paying. I went back to the Verizon office to complain, the salesman went in the rear of the office and would not come out to talk with me, I was told I would have to call the Verizon reg. office. Got little help but finally was able to return the new phones and reinstate the plan I had. My plans were always paid by bank draft, never late. With out notifying me with out any explanation, Verizon turned the month of the charges they were to remove for the salesman's overcharges for the 1 month of excess charges to a credit collection agency, again there was never any explanation for the charge for the one month even though Verizon bank drafted for that month what I had been paying, Verizon never missed a payment. I paid the credit collection agency, I called them and HQ of Verizon numerous times to no avail, no one cared. Be aware that if you get an unscrupulous salesman, Verizon will not listen or do anything to help you and does not care if they harm your credit record. Go to another cell phone carrier.

May 12-purchased BOGO (Mothers Day… May 12-purchased BOGO (Mothers Day Special) phones at Verizon. Here was the deal advertised: Verizon is currently offering a BOGO sale on its best mainstream phones, from the iPhone 8 to the Galaxy S9. And the best part is that no trade-in is required. For Apple fans, buy an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone X and get $699 off toward the purchase of a second iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone X. Pricier phones like the $999 iPhone X will get a $699 discount, which still amounts to an impressive price cut. In each case, the discount is provided as a bill credit which covers the cost of the device over the span of 24 months. That means the discount doesn't apply to upfront, one-time purchases. The discount is applicable to new and current users and requires a new line of service. We have been Verizon customers for over 12 years. We purchased 2 IPhone X's. We made it clear that there was just the two of us and a third line was not an option. We were told no problem about the new line we will change the number of one of your existing phones and that will give us the new line. We agreed on a payment of 115.00 per month. As it turns out Verizon did not honor that agreement, rather initially charged us for 2 new phones plus a third line (our old number), $436.00. We went in to store in late May to let them know we could not afford phones with out BOGO—they said give us some time and we will work it out After several trips to the Verizon store.we finally got the old line removed. Went online in early June to see if I could work out bill problem (436.00) They said no, I would have to go into store—I did immediately. Once again-We will work it out. Sent me news my Bill would be only 336.00 a month-went in again offered to give back phones, restated we could not pay this amount. We were told they could get our Bill down to 115.00-we agreed to that. Received Bill for 155.00 called again. I was told they were meeting with District Manager and they would call me back—no call following day I called and they told me the District Manager refused to make any concessions and furthermore we were to late to return phones. Even though we had attempted to do so 3 other times, when it seemed they could not straighten out the problem. Bottom line: we were placed on a plan BOGO that we were not eligible for and told we were. The two employees in the store admitted that they were wrong to put us on that program however refused to make it right. Many hours on phone and in store has gotten us nowhere. We wondered if they were simply taking advantage of a Senior and Veteran or if the people we dealt with just didn't care. After multiple visits to store and several calls to customer service, it became clear that the store employees and District Manager could care less about working this out with us. So we are no longer with Verizon. Very disappointing. The good news is we switched to T-Mobile and we are enjoying great service, great coverage and great customer service.

I’ve been with Verizon for years and they have taken care of my company. They help me find ways to save on various plans. Overall it’s been a good experience and I would recommend them.

I like Verizon, the only thing is I don't get very good reception at my home. But we do live out in the sticks, so I do understand that. All in all Verizon has been pretty good to us!

the phone service is fine. Billing is impossible. You cannot get any satisfaction from calling them and they are a phone company! They need to get there act together on billing and payments. My hysband and I have both had this problem and it is not resolved.

I like the options of how to buy a phone and have it replaced with up to date new one although it is very expensive to have a new phone it is affordable to most people paid by the month.

Great coverage, few dropped calls on my end. Would like better coverage up in the Sierras, but that's why we go there in the first place. Insurance replacements have been minimal effort. Customer service has been friendly.

We've been with Verizon for about 12 yrs now and have had no reason to switch. Never any issues with service and have always had coverage wherever we've went.

I have been a Verizon customer for all of my cellular devices since day 1. Companies I have worked for have used T-Mobile and Sprint with very limit services.

I have had Verizon since we had a boat and bagphone. I am up to $300 per month for three lines. Insurance (which is joke) of $11 per month per phone is/was included! I am finally in a position to escape the two-year contracts on each line that they DON’T have. Every time you make an adjustment, two years! Yes, they have good locations for their towers but we are gone! DONT DO IT! READ THE REVIEWS AND BELIEVE! I recently got rid of the landline, cell phone was broke, had insurance and needed them. Nope. After jumping through all the hoops (many as I am now an IPhone 7 repairman), politely at first, I only needed to wait a week for a replacement! THANKS!
