 asking if I wanted to switch back to Fios. The answer was NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
i was a Verizon internet customer; i decided to switch to Verizon Fios internet and phone. the switch was made 10/2010,the representative said the internet charge would no longer be deducted from my checking acct., that i would now start to rec a bill. the very next month i started receiving a bill but the charge was still being deducted. this went on for another 2 months; i then called Verizon to notify them the money was still coming out of my checking acct. they transferred me five(5) times before they got me to the right dept. the representative emailed me a fax coversheet with claim #.
i then faxed back requested information. i heard nothing from Verizon for another 3 months until now…i get this check for $3.57 from the refund dept. ( this is not my refund!!) i phoned Verizon once again, i was placed on hold @ 7:48am; transferred 9 times; spoke to 8 representatives which had no answers and refused to give me a supervisor. finally i was transferred to a supervisor in the Verizon financial dept whom asked me to fax my information again…… by this time it’s 9:33am. i’m pissed, all i want is my refund…… here we go again!
I was with Verizon’s DSL for 4 1/2 years, which one 1/2 of poor Internet connecting problems and dropped connections. Verizon didn’t fix the problem after several calls. Finally I get a tech who was going to see if she good get me a new modem for free, and I get disconnected. I call back and get a new tech who tells me I would need to pay 54 dollars for a new one. I told him I wanted to cancel my service if it can’t be resolved. He said, would you like to do that now Mame? He could care it helping me out at all. Canceled the service. I told him I would like a call from a supervisor. I never got a call. So upset and extremely disappointed with Verizon.
I had Fios with Verizon for a couple of years. I was going on vacation on 12/26/10 for a month. I called simply in to ask if Verizon had a vacation discount. Without properly informing me, the agent DISCONTINUED my services and started a NEW contract a month later that required a 2-year commitment and some $40 higher per month. When I called back saying I did not want a 2-year contract, they switched me to new month to month plan with lower service and even higher prices. I requested to discontinue Internet services.
Every time I called back (waiting an average an hour) they corrected something and added other services without my authorization. The last time they added $20.98/month for Unlimited Games + Starz(R), and $10/month for security package (?). I called back, waited for an hour, they made some correction, and last week I received a bill of $276. I called in, waited, and waited… They gave me a new number $146, but did not tell me why, then hanged up on me. I believe I am still overcharged. Until now, 2+ months later, I must have spent no less than 10 hours and talked to at least 10 verizon agents without proper results.
 On top of that, they are under pressure to sign you up for all kinds of services to get credits. It’s a SCAM, causing unbelievable headaches to its customers. I am looking for another landline carrier, but I am afraid they will continue billing me even after my services ended.
I deeply regret to inform you that I am so disappointed with Verizon services. I was excited to have Verizon T.V network,Internet and Phone service at home being a Verizon stock share holder,which turned out be great disappointment. When we request for service, a Verizon technician showed up at home on 25th of feb. After spending about 3 hours working on the phone lines, he promised that we would have phone service in two hours. Almost two weeks past still we haven’t got phone services neither internet.
we have been calling Verizon every single day, hoping to get a proper respond regarding to the phone service, it is just a waste of time.First of all we are communicating with our Verizon cellphone.when we call we will be on hold for at least 10min then you get hold of person to talk to,He or She would not aware the situation.When we spoke to the Supervisor, He promised someone will show up at home to fix the problem.We waited for a day or two,nobody showed up.When we called at last, the respond was by mistake. they sent a wrong technician to our home which caused the problems with the phone line.
We totally frustrated, no more hope with Verizon,since we agreed with the contract we are unable to go back to the previous service.
Well, we are not living in the third world country. We are not dealing with street corner contractor. Please Help us. All what we need a phone line and the Internet, to have a normal life. may be my next choice contacting the media service or Help me Howard.
Last week when Texas had their record breaking cold weather, Ferrell Gass made a mistake and canceled my account of 10 years on my 50 acre property that I own. I give these details to show that I am a solid customer. The sub zero temps and no propane for 6 days caused my pipes to burst flooding the entire first floor of my house. I was in shock but with help of my manager, got everything out of the house, got insurance to refer a clean up company, moved my furniture ((ALL OF IT)) out of the house so they could proceed with the ripping out of my wood floors and ceilings. This is when my problems with Verizon Wireless started.
I am fortunate that I have an apartment attached to my house over the garage to say in for the four months it will take to repair. This apartment is not permanently occupied, it is only for guest so I do not have a permanent phone line. After 6 phone calls, three appointments, two service men visits, and so many ‘on holds and disconnects, I finally gave up trying to get a phone in the apartment from Verizon Wireless. I have never been so frustrated. Not once did any of the clerks, and I have all of their names, even try to understand that I had been in a horrible situation. Not once did anyone offer to get through to the right person. Not once did anyone from Verizon Wireless even attempt to get to why in the world I could not get a simple thing like a phone installed in my apartment.
Really sad in this day of so many advancements. I’m 64 years old and lost my husband a year ago so have only myself to deal with these matters and am very saddened that things have come to this end. I will cancel my verizon wireless, internet and cable because of this. Horrible service….Horrible.
In December (2 months ago) I was looking for a good cellphone to use in our new Ford Fusion. The Fusion has a nifty “SYNC” system that allows you to play music, use your cellphone, acquire travel assistance and driving instructions, etc. ….. all handsfree. The SYNC System is a great feature included on all new Ford vehicles. (I hope Ford sends me a spiff for promoting their cars……lol). Verizon did not offer the iPhone in December, however they were offering a number of “Android” type phones that are highly touted by the Anti-Apple folks. The Android operating system is represented to be as good (or better) than Apple iOS by many reviewers that have no appreciation for Apple products.
I figured that they all can’t be wrong. The Android System seemed very impressive in their reviews. My first mistake was buying into that premise. I purchased an LG Vortex phone from Verizon for $80. I thought I made a pretty good deal for a feature loaded cellphone. WRONG!!!!! Compared to my iPad, iPods, MacBook and even my PC’s ….. The Vortex phone functions were complex and unreliable. The phone was pre-loaded with useless apps that cannot be removed. Many of the features on the Vortex required purchasing more apps that often didn’t work. The bottom line …… I was very unhappy with my purchase.
February : Verizon announced the Verizon iPhone! Perhaps this would be the answer to my dilemma. I figured that I would get rid of the Vortex Phone (an $80 loss) which I was willing to do. Maybe I could replace it with an iPhone under my new plan. WRONG!!!
Verizon was offering trades, such as the deal I was seeking, to all users that recently purchased new cell phones. VOILA! an answer to my problem ….. WRONG!!! The trade-in offer was only for purchases that were made in January 2011. Those of us that bought a phone in December (or earlier) were SOL.
I pleaded my case to several Verizon Representatives. All I received was disappointing news. I was stuck with the Vortex phone (or another similar phone) for the next two years …. Plain and simple …They had me by the shorthairs. The only way that I could add an iPhone to my Plan was to purchase an iPhone at full price (around $800). They would still hold me to the 2-year contract even though I would be supplying my own iPhone! My choices left me with no alternative. I canceled my contract and am now using the Vortex as a paperweight.
1. Pay a $330 penalty to terminate the contract.
2. Pay for another month of service
