phone issue
my motorole rival phone was freezing on all screens verizon replaced it with another Rival this one was bad also and I had to replace it again. I ask if they had a lot returned the answer was "no it a very good phone " again I had problems the next verizon rep told me that they had lots of returned rival's. she put me into another phone said it was comparable to the Rival . Well not even it was a terrible phone I sent it back. The sent me another Rival and since my las phone was different a samsum they would need to send me the battery and the back . I had to remind the sales person of this. He said the phone would arrive in 2 to 3 days but the back would be sent separate and arrive in 4 days. I din't get it and verizon says ther isn't a back for this phone I would need to order it my self from motorola who is never avalible. They refuse to help me and order it them selfves and want to charge me 12.00 to end my service. I have had other complaints with the broadband service to over charging this is the worst servive I have had.

DECEPTIVE ONLINE PRACTICES
I WAS USING VERIZON'S WEBSITE TO RENEW MY WIRELESS SERVICE. I CHOSE A PLAN AND WAS FINALIZING THE PROCESS. THE LAST PAGE SHOWED A SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON OF MY CURRENT PLAN VS. THE NEW PLAN I SELECTED.
I GET A 20% DISCOUNT ON MY PRIMARY LINE THROUGH MY EMPLOYER. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON, THE NEW PLAN I CHOSE LOOKED SO MUCH CHEAPER NEXT TO MY CURRENT PLAN. I WAS A TOUCH AWAY FROM HITTING THE "ACCEPT" BUTTON WHEN I STOPPED TO LOOK AT IT A BIT CLOSER.
THE BREAKDOWN SHOWED THE 20% DISCOUNT ON THE "NEW" PLAN, BUT IT WAS OMITTED FROM MY "CURRENT" PLAN'S BREAKDOWN. HMMM. . .
I HIT THE "CHAT LIVE" BUTTON AND ASKED THE REP. IF I WAS MISSING MY 20% DISCOUNT SOMEWHERE, AND WHY WAS IT NOT DISPLAYED EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE NEW PLAN WAS? SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. SHE APOLOGIZED ALL OVER HERSELF AND SAID SHE AGREED THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED. I TOLD HER THAT IT LOOKED VERY DECEIVING TO SHOW A NEW PLAN LOOKING SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN YOUR CURRENT PLAN. BUT THE TRUTH IS, IT WAS MORE MONEY. SHE DIDN'T CARE--SHE SAID I COULD CONTACT THE COMPANY VIA EMAIL. I DID.
IT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. EVERY TIME MY FRIEND CALLS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WHY YOU NEED A DATA PKG. EXTRA ON YOUR ALREADY OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH BILL, THEY SAY THAT THEY'RE THE BIGGEST CELL PHONE PROVIDER AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. WHEN I BOUGHT A NETBOOK FROM VERIZON AND TRIED TO REGISTER IT THROUGH GATEWAY, THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE S/N OR SNID#. I SWEAR VERIZON IS SELLING BOOTLEGGED COMPUTERS. VERIZON CUST. SVC. HAD NO CLUE AND COULDN'T HELP ME AT ALL. THEY DID CALL ME A FEW DAYS LATER FOR A PHONE SURVEY. I TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THEM. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HEAR FROM A MEMBER OF MANAGEMENT ABOUT MY RATING. OF COURSE I NEVER HEARD FROM ANYONE.
THEY DON'T CARE. WELL, I DID MY PART. I REPORTED IT TO VERIZON, FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC, AND AM LETTING ALL OF YOU KNOW.

I will never go back to Verizon Wireless and I'll tell every one I know to steer clear of them
I have been a good customer by paying my bills on time and fulfilling my contract of two years. Recently the Verizon Wireless company and I had a dispute over a very high phone bill. I just want to terminate my service. I have called three times, been on hold, and explained my woes to six different people. The managers all say that they will "take care of my request to turn my cell phones off " Today, I still have service. I know that I'm being billed for this service, and I no longer wish to have it. Isn't it illegal to continue to provide a service to some one who not only does not want it, but has made a request not once, but THREE times to have the service turned off? I have also contacted the BBB and filed a complaint. I also have files a complaint with Consumer Guide, and I will continue to voice my frustration until the matter is resolved. At his point and time I will NEVER go back to Verizon Wireless and I'll tell every one I know to steer clear of them.

Multiple Billing & No Record Of It
I have a Verizon Pay-As-You-Go cell phone. My balance was low last night, so I decided to add $30 to my account.
I can add money using stored account information via the phone, that's how I've always done it. There was an error during the call and it told me to try again later.
I did. Same problem. So this morning I look at my bank account, I have been charged $30 plus a $1.88 service/tax charge, twice. But I still have no money added to my phone.
I call Verizon customer service, they tell me it's something the bank will have to reverse.
I call PNC bank, they tell me transaction authorization codes were issued to Verizon at the time of the transaction and it's up to Verizon to reverse the multiple charges.
I call Verizon back. I got the same story. I have to have the bank reverse it. So I asked for a supervisor, Crystal. Of course, no one gives last names. She was incredibly rude and condescending, and acted as if I was a child who had done something wrong.
I asked to speak to her supervisor, she said she was as far as I'm getting, and she won't connect me. When I asked for the contact information of the person she reported to, she actually hung up on me.
I am now stuck with two charges for $31.88 totaling $63.76 and still only have a $1.45 balance on my (now useless) cell phone.

warrenty
each time i call verizon concerning my phone i get multi lies and trickery trying to get me to change my plan. verizon is one of the worst companies i ever had to deal with in my life. i was sent a replacement phone to cover the warrenty of my old phone and was informed the new phone wouldn't cause any changes to my account, but once i receive parts of the new phone after taking three deliveries by fedx to make a complete phone verison wireless wouldn't activate it because they told me on today i got to change my plan. i asked the supervisor if i go out and buy a phone just like the one i already have would they activate it and the answer was no. i'm being cheated out of my warrenty and being threaten to chance my plan i been having for five years. verison is the worst cell phone company in the united states, because each time i ask them to put what they are saying on the phone in writing they come up with an excuse. A boycott is were me and my family are heading, because word of mouth is the best advertisement in the world. being robbed of my warrenty of getting a phone to replace my old one unless i change my plan to a more costly one.

data usage charges
Verizon Wireless lets you know you can try their VZ Navigator for a 24 hr. period for just 2.99 without any monthly obligation, so I did when we went on a trip. It was very inefficient finding its way around the city, so we didn't use it for more than 2 of the 24 hrs. What they don't tell you is that everytime you use it your racking up added data usage charges. It is a good thing we only used it for about 2 of the 24 hrs. because we incurred an extra 10 dollars of charges. Can you imagine what we would have racked up had we liked the thing? I called VerizonWireless to let them know, they were "sorry" we were disatisfied but the charges remained. So what does the word "SORRY" really mean? Anyhow beware, Verizon customers, of hidden charges that they don't tell you about until its after the fact.

cell phone bill
I started Verizon for my cell phone carrier and the first bill was $472.00. I called them to find out why I had a bill so high and they gave me these reasons. The activation charge first months bill and the next months bill. Now when I called and was setting up my service I was told my monthly bill would be $150.00 now they are saying that my monthy bill is $186.00 dollars. I keep tring to get them to tell me why I was told one thing over the phone and now it's differant. He did say sorry that I was not told about all the other fees but I verbaly agree to the contact. "I told him ya I agree to the $150. not a $472. dollar cell bill." " He said well there nothing else he could do and if I cancel I will be charged amother $175." I asked him if my call was recorded" "he said yes all calls are" So I asked him to get his manager to listen to what I was told aND AGREE TO IN THE FIRST CALL" "He could not do that for me and told me again he was sorry but there's nothing he can do"

Bad Service
I have had the same phone number since 1994 back when it was Centel. It went from Centel to alltel to verizon, back to alltel then finally to Verizon. I have spent over $40, 000 on cell phones and cellular service. I am a self employed individual and have had my ups and downs. Regardless of my ups and downs, I have always paid my cellular phone bill. When it was Alltel, I always received excellent service and they understood the ups and downs of being a small business. They never dinged me or made it hard for me and sometimes they would run my service two months before I payed it. They ALWAYS gave me a courtesy call about my bill and I always payed the full amount due. Back in July of 2009, having heard that verizon was taking over alltel, I called Verizon and inquired about what was coming. I specifically talked about my feelings and how I operate and wanted to know if I was going to be a name or just another number when Verizon took over. They told me that it wouldn't change and that they wanted me to stay because, with my service history, I was a valued customer. HOGWASH!
My problems started with service, it started degrading and I called about it- their excuse was that I still had an Alltel phone, or still has an Alltel number- blah blah blah... they kept giving me excuse after excuse until they had me completely in their vise.. ALL Verizon... thats when they screwed me.
Back in December of 2009, I decided to go to a storm2 from my BB curve 833o- I had everything done and when it came time to complete the transaction, they informed me that I would have to pay the $500 plus because my account had been blacklisted and I would not be able to charge it to my account. I asked why and they researched it and said that my phone had been shut off back in september of 2009. I asked for how long and they said 20 minutes or so... WOW- I asked if they recieved payment and they said yes- they recieved it immediately the same day, within minutes.
I then set up a scenario for them: Here I am, a customer with over 10 years (15 to be exact) of loyal service, Over $40, 000 spent on cellular service and equipment, ALWAYS paid every penny, NOT under contract- WILLING to commit to another TWO YEARS of GUARANTEED MONEY... and were they willing to sacrifice that for a stupid little incident after 10 plus years of loyalty... they DIDNT CARE- so I left.
I called verizon that night and started turning off ALL service except my main number I've had for all these years. I told them that wasnt getting shut off until I could port it over elsewhere. Folks, I am a single person and I pay over $240 per month to verizon- I have a DROID, AIRCARD, and a second phone for the grandparents.
The regional manager called me the next day and told me he couldnt get the blackmark off my record and that it would stay for six months- but if I would come in to the local store, he'd make it right- I did, and he did. He worked with me on the equipment and I stayed- And I dumbly kept all my services...
The last straw is that in May of 2010- My bank returned a $600 plus payment to verizon by mistake- As soon as I received a text message from verizon that my payment had been declined- I resubmitted it from my phone using the 'my verizon' app and it went through. They got their money immediately on the second go round.
The next time I tried to pay my bill using the phone, I was told that I can no longer do so and that the only way I can pay my bill is CASH ONLY and only at a local store- I was told that in order for me to resolve the cash only terms- that my bank would have to submit something on official letterhead to verizon's TREASURY DEPT. stating that it was their mistake- then the TREASURY Department would reverse their actions... My banker did... and THEY DIDNT.
SO, now here I sit- with a $517 bill due... verizon has sent me a text saying that my service will soon be interupted because of non-payment... I guess I now realize that I am a friggin number and that 15 years of loyalty means jack shit.
Side Note**** I also have had an aircard for 3 or 4 years that has never averaged over 50kb/sec at home. I started complaining to alltel as soon as I got it and it was always a different story- they tried several aircards and whenever I'd call in, the tech would work some keyboard magic and my service would improve some, only to degrade within 24 hrs. After Verizon pirated over- they continued the same dog and pony show. They DID send a tech out to my area, but wouldnt tell me when he'd come and that he couldnt come to my home to see my equipment and its performance... LUCKY ME, I just happened to be home and saw him, so after I approached him, he identified himself. We stood on the side of the road and talked for 2 hrs or more. He did show me where I was using a tower 1.8 miles away and that it couldnt handle the data demands and that it hadnt been upgraded since 2004. I've only had a card since 2007 or 2008- so that means I was lied to when I initially got the card.
He did tell me that Verizon would have to spend approximately $260, 000, 000 in the area to bring it up to speed.
Whenever I called verizon to see what they were gonna do about my issue- the 'supervisor' s only ultimate alternative was that if I was unhappy then I could cancel my service... SO- here I am with over three years of not getting what I paid for- I was strung along with promise after promise- I paid out over $3000 for broadband performance I was promised but never got.. and they said I could cancel my service. I asked to be taken higher than the supervisor and was told that wasnt possible...
Does anybody know a good attorney that would want to look at my story?
I have all records to prove my story.

HTC Droid Bait-and-Switch
My wife and I went to the VZ store to upgrade her Palm to an HTC Eris or whatever newer HTC they were carrying. I bought an Eris from them some time ago and have been nothing but happy with it. The store had two good candidates on display - the HTC Incredible for $199 after rebates and the HTC Eris for $79 after rebates. We compared both models and decided that the Incredible just is not worth the $120 difference. After being there for about 30 minutes in the queue, our name was called so we went up to the salesman and asked him what the difference between the Eris and Incredible was - he said "Oh, there's a world of difference..." so we said "Are the differences really worth $120?". He figured that we were worried about the money so he decided that we should look at the LG Ally...
We stated that we were interested specific in the HTC phones since the hardware is much better than the previous Motorola phones that we have had over the last 15 years that we have had VZ Wireless service. So, we stated that we had decided on the Eris since there is not a huge difference. After all, the Eris was on-sale for $79 and even offered a 2-for-1 though we didn't need a second one. He looked and said that he didn't have any Eris phones on hand and that VZ no longer carried them. I asked why they had three rather large Eris displays if they did not have any and have absolutely no intention of selling them... his response was that "if this were my store, I wouldn't display them, but we have to"...
My wife and I talked about it for a few seconds and decided that we would spring for the Incredible since we already knew that the Eris was going away. This is when we were told that he didn't have an Incredible either and wouldn't have one until July 19th... I inquired if this had anything to do with the fact that a new model was coming out and he said "No, they have just been flying off of the shelves"...
So, after 45 minutes, we saw the phone that we wanted on display, were told that it was no longer for sell, found another phone, were told that they didn't have it either, then we were asked if we would like to look at some other phones! At this point, I am probably going to AT&T and checking on the availability of an iPhone!
