This company lies
Okay I was in a family sharing plan with my mom. Now yesturday I called Verizon Wireless to cancel my phone since the contract already expired on 9/13/2010 and just wanted to leave my moms phone with service. Well guess what? The representative told me that they could not cancel the phone until March 25th! Maybe its because my billing cycle is from the 26th to the 25th of every month. But I dont care they say that you can cancel your phone at anytime without paying a fee for the cancelation when you are done with your contract! So the rep said that she could suspend my phone and now I have to pay next month the suspension fee of $15.00 plus the monthly fees! Verizon Wireless is a rip off and a liar! Once my contract is up on the next phone which is in january all switch to AT&T. Has anyone ever experienced this type of problem as well?

Wrongful termination and racial issues
I was hired as an employee with Alltel in 2006 and Verizon ended up purchasing Alltel and we became Verizon employees. Back in May 2009 my wife was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer at the young age of 29!! I was on FMLA from June till October and when I came back I began to go through hell!! I am one of about 100 maybe black men in our 60, 000 population and the only black employee for Verizon in this part of the state and probably the entire state if my guess is correct. When I came back to work, our old Alltel store had been closed and all the employees they kept had been moved to the Verizon store that had be opened for a long time prior to the buyout. When I came back to work after my FMLA ran out there were a handful of employees that thought making all kinds of racial jokes and comments to me as a black man was funny. An employee even said in front of two customers and while I was with my customer, "Let me move this big gorilla out the way and he pushed me aside...This was done on the floor and it front of customers. I was asked to use my lips for pulling plastic off the price tag displays. Many more things were said over and over. I went to my district manager and HR rep and complained and I knew from the jump they could care less. They gave me their spill about being there for me and that this would be addressed and handled quickly and if I needed anything else to let them know. Two days later two more reps made racial comments to me.
When they questioned me again they totally flipped my complaint over to me. They asked if I participated in jokes and comments with reps about sexual jokes and comments and I said yes. Every single rep plays around and they totally decided to not worry about my complaint but to focus on that. Time went on and things kept happening. I caught a manager talking to reps about me negatively and I complained and nothing happened. Matter of fact, I have emails where HR and my store manager lied in regards to this matter. I went to the state as well and started a formal complaint with the Idaho State human rights commisssion. To make a long story short, I got called in on Thursday of this past week and was terminated for me participating like everyone else in jokes and comments. NOONE else was fired at all...I was even told that one employee that I had complained about with the racial comments was fired and that is a lie!! He quit and put in his two week notice to go work somewhere else.
Now my wife cannot do her radiation for the last part of this cancer fight because I have no insurance.
Now I have no job...
Noone but me in all of this was terminated...
I am getting an attorney and fighting all of this because I feel I have a case of, wrongful termination, racial discrimination, retaliation, and pain and suffereing...
any comments...
There is much to it just dont feel like typing it all

Screwed up order - TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was eligible for a new phone on a Friday. I placed the order for my new phone because I was told I could have Saturday delivery - I never would have ordered over the phone if that wasn't an option, I would have gone from store to store to find the phone I want in stock if necessary, because I wanted the weekend to figure it out. No, I was assured repeatedly (because I kept asking, for verification) that I would have my phone delivered on Saturday (who knew Saturday delivery existed? Yay! Or so I thought.)
Received the email confirmation on the order, clicked on the tracking link, and found out it was scheduled to be delivered on Monday, by 10:30am. NOT what I was promised, not what I ordered.
Called customer service again, explained the situation, and was given apologies but told nothing could be done at that point...would take 48-72 hours to cancel that order because it had already begun the shipping process. I told them that wasn't acceptable, and since I already had been charged for the phone on my credit card, they needed to fix it. I gave them 3 options: 1 - to cancel that order and initiate a new one, with Saturday shipping (because I was again assured that it was possible, and that the first customer service agent entered the wrong shipping code); 2 - to refund my money - NOW - so I could go into a store to buy one; or 3 - to allow me to go into a store to buy one, and bill it to my Verizon account so I wouldn't have to pay again. I was promised the phone would be in my hands on Saturday, and that is what I expected them to do.
After being placed on hold several times, and asking that a supervisor get involved, I was finally told they would be able to cancel the first order and have it shipped back to them, at which time I would be refunded the original charge. They created a new order, and "waived the Saturday delivery fee, due to the miscommunication"...this phone would be billed to my account. And I would receive the phone on Saturday, as originally ordered.
But when I received the tracking/confirmation order for the 2nd order, and went to FedEx's site - I was told there was an estimated delivery date/time of 3pm on Monday. AGAIN?! No, it can't be. There must me some mistake.
Call customer service yet again - 3rd time in 24hours - to find out the situation. Yep, the morons operating the phone lines for Verizon screwed up my order again. The second order, created entirely to fix the shipping errror made the first time around, had the EXACT SAME MISTAKE. Two **bleep** who can't perform the basic functions of their job? Well, again, I told the supervisor involved (the second supervisor, the third phone call) to fix it. Cancel the order. I was going to one of the Verizon stores to get my phone today, and I was going to be allowed to bill it to my account because I've already paid you $300 & I'll be damned if I'm spending one more cent. Nope, not an option. Why? Because the second phone was billed to my account, to fix the error from the first order.
So you guys have royally screwed me over. I just have to wait until Monday, I got nothing that I was promised, and I am seriously debating shipping the phone back once it does come to me and cancelling my service. Its not worth it to belong to "the Verizon community" when you can't trust the **bleep**'s manning the controls. Do you even require GEDs to work in one of the call centers? Are former graduates of special education programs transitioned into customer service roles with Verizon? Why is it so hard to just deliver on what you promise? Twice?!

overcharge
My work uses verizon, so I was switching from sprint to take advantage of my works discount. They wanted a $400 deposit due to my credit, ok no problem just got my tax return I'll bite the bullit and just do it.
Ok well checked my card statment and they charged me the $449.99 twice! this is where thing started to go very very wrong. I figure well its a mistake thing happen, so I call them to get the second charge reversed. They deny it happened. I fax per there request my card statment, and all requested info, 3 seperate times. I also email it about 4 times. After spending hours upon hours on the phone them asking me to resend it. Double and triple checked the fax number and email.
After a week they tell me they are not issuing a refund and closing the claim due to lack of info provided!! Are you kidding me? I have been very polite and civil this entire time, even after being hung up on by 2 different agents on the phone. But now I am beyond upset. I called today to restart the process again.
Im at the end of my rope here this is not the way to treat a new customer. They have MY MONEY, is this illegal? Should I seek legal advise if this proceed?

cell phone
I recently purchased the droid x after having software issues with the droid. I asked Verizon if they had a 4g phone or if they were expecting any soon. Verizon stated no. 60 days after I purchased the deli x a 4g phone comes out on the market. Verizon related the lighting bolt was not available but I could purchase it at best buy. The person I spoke with could care less about helping me with this issue. She stated I had my phone for over 30 days and nothing could be done. No loyalty from Verizon. There're the most expensive and don't care about customers. Money drives them. Can you hear me now.

Worst Customer Service EVER!
1. Contacted Verizon to change my phone number to my new area code, was told it was no problem but it's best to change it on the 7th of the month so there won't be any pro-rated charges. Whatever, that's what I did.
2. On February 7th, I contacted VW again to change my number, everything went fine, powered phone off and then back on, *228, worked great, gave out the new number to all my contacts and associates.
3. Unable to receive calls - WTF? Contact VW, they tell me they CANNOT fix it. What? It worked before, now they say I have to either get a NEW number or wait until the 8th of March when the new number will go into effect.
4. Outraged I asked to terminate my contract without the ETF, they refused! What in the world happened to their once stellar customer service? They don't care if they lose me as a customer - and I've been a loyal customer of theirs for over 10 years. Very disgusted and disappointed. Cell service is limited out here, maybe I can just use an online service like Google Voice and have a cell phone for emergencies.
Verizon, you blew it, and from what I've seen online, your pathetic and contradiction-in-terms "Customer Service" is more common than not.

Email Complaints
For those needing to provide their complaint directly to Verizon Wireless Corporate electronically for obvious reasons they don't have this feather anywhere on their web site; Call Customer Service at 800-922-0204, and ask to be able to provide information for a complaint to be submitted as "Voice of the Customer" I was just advised that the customer service reps, will submit via email directly to corporate, and these do get read and addressed. I too am very frustrated for so many reasons, and If I take my service to another carrier over 100 others will follow.

Bad Phone & false information
I purchased the first Droid from Verizon, I had trouble with the phone and I was sent 3 replacement phones. When I asked about a different model I was told I could upgrade at my expence. The phone was expensive and I just wanted a phone to work, finally verizion addmitted there were problems with the first phone and they would upgrade me to the Droid 2 at no charge. I asked about the $100+ I had in accessories, I was told the Droid 2 was compatiable with the accessories, not so!!!

Unauthorized Billing
For the past 10 Months Verizon Wireless has been charging me (443-867-0310) for a service (usage controls) that I did not authorize. It is my fault that I do not check my statement each and every month, but I pay on auto pay. That said, when I brought this to the attention of the verizon rep. on 02/15/11 @ approx. 10am, she stated that I had to have authorized the extrat charge because it stated it in thier system notes. After going around with her for several min., I asked to speak with a supervisor. When I asked was given much resistance and questioned as if I was a criminal, not a customer. I have been with this company over 9 years. What gives!!! When the supervisor (MATT) arrived on the phone, I explained to him the issue that I was having. He stated that he was looking back thru my records and stated that it was noted in my accout that I called in for overchargers that had been charged to my account because the orginal block placed on the number was accidently dropped when I changed phones. I repeated that the only thing I asked for was to have internet/web/data and premium messages blocked (as was what I orginally had done for this line). The charge that Verizon had been charging me for had nothing to do with those items and I did not authorize it!!! I don't care what the 'notes' say. The phone was reported stole and account inactive since January 5, and I am still being charged...It is now Feb. MATT stated that he could only give me 3 months credit (14.97). Only three, months when it has been shown that you have falsely billed me on several occasions. It is in the acct. notes that I called back in Apr. because of erronous billing and now again. Matt also stated that I had not called in since Apr and then again in Jan. That's not true either I It's not just the money, it is the What gives...Verion again and it's 'creawtive billing.
