Useless servoce
Verizon Wireless me a mailing giving me 50 free minutes. This offer requires me to "Activate" on their website. I put in my info, which is correct, but their website says it "does not match" their records... THEY NEED TO STOP WASTING MY TIME AND YOURS. WHY NOT JUST THROW 50 MINUTES ON MY ACCOUNT AND SEND ME A NICE NOTE SAYING YOU DID SO?? I'd feel a lot better about being a VW customer than I currently do.
THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO LOSING ME AS A CUSTOMER, FOR MY LAND AND WIRELESS SERVICE. Their phone offering is weak and shows no sign of getting any better. Other "networks" are catching up in terms of service capability...and the phones on those networks far out-perform anything available for their CDMA.

Terrible phone policy
I am on my THIRD Samsung I760...and I paid a lot for this stupid phone! The first phone I called Verizon and was told to take it to the store to be looked at. After they decided I was telling the truth, I had to call and get another phone. Did I get a new phone? NOOO... I got a refurbished one. It lasted 2 weeks. Took it in to the store, they again decided I was telling the truth, and they ordered me another phone. I asked if I could get a different brand, and I was told nope! You have to stick with the crap model. So, 3rd phone comes (and, by the way, was in a tore up box IN THE DELIVERY BOX and DIRTY!) and yet again, does not work properly. I again took it to the store, and after the tech guy laughed and said " ha, ha! I'm on my third one too! I guess the third time was the charm for me!" He would not give me a different phone--he said it must be the program on the phone. So, another phone call to Verizon was made. This time, they said they could send me a new phone, but I couldn't change brands... I would have to wait unit SEPTEMBER 2009 (that's when my next upgrade is allowed) or I would have to pay full price for a phone! WHAT A CROCK OF CRAP!!! It's also interesting that my $400 plus phone was only insured for $100 per Verizon. The folks at VW are nice, but crap served in a silver bowl is the same as crap served in Tupperware!! DO NOT BUY a Samsung I760 unless you want to be endlessly frustrated and not have a usable phone!

Scam/Ripoff - Dangerous Phones
Verizon has the worst customer service / scam going in this state. My wife went in July compalaine that my phone heated up too hot to touch while charging (her identical phone did not). The techs said nothing was wrong with the phone with a 1 min check. Yesterday the phone was soooooooooo hot it put a burn mak on our 99 year old counter. Tech looks at clearly states this is usually water damage - looks at phone shows me the indicators on the battery and the phone and state " no water damage!) I will have your new phone for you in 20 minutes! 35 minute later he brings back my phone says sorry I was wrong there is water damage! The indicators suddenly changed in that 35 minutes (Peter showed them to me)! While waiting the next 6 customers all had "water damage" in that store. We were all told you might have gone from airconditioning to the outside humiddity and damaged your phone. Don't we ALL? Te saga continues when the manager tells me (after I tell her to diconnect the service and don't charge the termination fee) I am a "F***ing A**hole. I throw my phone on the floor and leave. She places a complaint with the local authorities (covering her butt). Verizon customer service all the way up to the Presidents office (David Small #973-656-7000) supports the crazy woman they are paying a salary instead of the customer that is paying for their service. Everyone with a problem inidate this phone number and show them that good customer relations is important!

Terrible company
I purchased the Verizon USB 720 AirCard for $180 which never worked properly. After numerous attempts for troubleshooting the device and product replacement, I finally requested that my Verizon service be disconnect a refund for the device. Verizon refused to refund the device.

Insurance
I renewed my contract 3 months ago with verizon, contract is under my name. I purchased the env2 under the primary number and bought insurance on it under the primary number. Now I wanted that phone (env2) and the wife wanted mine. I asked if we changed phones if the insurance would still cover the env2 and was told yes for the insurance was bought for the phone. Now someone stole my phone the env2 and verizon says it's not covered for it is no longer active under the primary number. Now their sales rep told me I could do this.
Now when you buy the insurance for a phone it should cover that phone no matter which family line it's under. But they say it's only for the primary number and which ever phone is active on it.
So I am having signs made up with the verizon logo with the phrase under it saying "We'll Screw You Any Way We Can". I will also be parking my truck with these signs on it in front of their store at the shopping center.

Scam and cheating
I had a company cell phone from T-mobile and my wife had her personal phone from Verizon with a $29.99 300 minute/month plan that Verizon no longer offered. I left my job and had to turn in my T-mobile phone. I decided to get a Verizon phone for the free mobile-to-mobile calls. I went to Costco in Laguna Niguel, CA.
I was going to sign up for an individual phone for the 450 minute $39.99/month plan. The sales person suggested we get the 700 minute per month family plan for $69.99. I explained that we did not want a new contract on my wife's phone. The sales person explained that only the new phone would have a contract.
About 6 months later, I was again working for a company that provided a cell phone. We called Verizon to cancel my wife's older phone. They said that we would have to pay a $175.00 penalty to cancel the contract. I told them there was not a contract. They sent us a copy of the contract in the mail. We discovered that the sales clerk had forged my wife's signature to a new contract.
We immediately called Verizon customer service and faxed them a copy of the contract and a copy of my wife's driver's license to show her signature. It was blantantly obvious that the signature on the contract did not belong to my wife. The Verizon customer service called us back and told us that they are not handwriting experts and we are still under contract.
I told the service rep that I would be filing criminal charges of consumer fraud against Verizon. He transferred me to his supervisor. I explained the situation to the supervisor. The supervisor said there was nothing he could do, either. So I asked to speak to his supervisor. After getting passed around to two more people, I told the final person that I will not be talking to any more people at Verizon and my next call is to file a criminal complaint. We reached a compromise and cut the contract term in half.
Unfortunately, my newer phone is still under contract. Rest assured that once that contract is over, I will no longer be a Verizon Wireless customer.

Scam and cheating
My contract with Verizon will be ending next month. This will also be the time when I will qualify for the 'new every two' free phone upgrade offer. However, I received an email from Verizon Wireless announcing that I have 'earned a new phone.' The expiration on this offer is one week before I qualify for the 'new every two' phone. The offer looks like it is the 'new every two' phone with one exception. I have to pay $99 for the same phone that will be free in one month. For some reason, Verizon Wireless thinks I am stupid enough to fall for their scam to buy a phone one week before I qualify for a free phone.
In the end, it really doesn't matter. I will be changing carriers after the contract is up due to another problem I had with Verizon. The sales clerk at Costco had forged my wife's signature on a new contract for a phone she had for years. I am sure it was to earn a commission. He probably thought we would never find out. The unfortunate thing is that Verizon refused to do anything about it.

Not a Warranty at all
The phone won't charge. One of the tiny metal pins inside the phone is gone/bent? Verizon's theory...If you can see the problem, it must be the customers fault. Not a warranty issue but an insurance one. $300 phone, 3 months old + shoddy construction = I lose money. Also, 18 months left on the contract and the insurance will only replace the phone - after deductible - 2 times.

double billing
I have a phone card to keep my phone bills down
so how does MCI who owns Verizon make money off me three ways when I make a call. I use a verizon calling card because I can get phone service for 3.8 cents a minute long distance. at home when I use the card I'm using a verizon service landline and when I call my family on their Verizon phone it's a cell phone and they get charged. thats three verizon charges all for the same call. If this isn't against the law it ought to be. So VERIZON
when the day comes that phone service can be free over the internet I hope you go by the wayside as thats what all scammers deserve is to go down
under the crowd instead of being trampled on by their newt work three times everytime you call out.
This is one of those class action lawsuit deals too the only thing that gets their attention.
