Frustrated with lack of service

I want to express my frustrations and disappointment with Verizon personnel. Back in October I requested to have my services transferred because I was moving. I was only able to request my phone service and Internet since the new area did not provide verizon cable. A new box for the phone needed to be installed and when it was I was told I should call mt phone company because according to the test u had no phone service. This brought me back to the fact that I was having phone issues where I used to live and even had to purchase a new fax machine thinking that was the reason I was unable to fax. I called Verizon in October only to have to call back because they could not assist me and I had to speak to the financial dept. I called back and I was informed that the phone number I wax providing was assigned to a different provider. I was te to call back again during normal business hours as they could not help me. Again I call and speak to someone named Elliot who informed me "Rock ticket" would need to be submitted so my two account could be consolidated and they would try to get the phone number back as well. At this moment I have two separate accounts. Instead of just having the services transferred, I was given a whole new account number for the new place and I am still incurring charges on the original account for phone services I have not had nor been able to use for the past several months. I called verizon once again yesterday to follow up since I received a text my phone services were going to be suspended for non-payment. Instead of getting a resolution to this headache I need up having to pay do I wouldn't be sent to collection. The original account at this to time accumulated to $273 but the rep was kind enough to give me $100 credit. As you can see I am extremely upset because I'm paying for services I don't have. The rep informed me that obviously I don't have phone service because if my non-payment but the would be restored once I paid. I have checked again this morning and there's still is NO phone service. The recording states the number is terminated or not in service. My frustration is that during my last phone call to Verizon I was told pretty much I am responsible for amount since the gave no record of me calling that I have an issue with my phone service. He also advised me not to keep calling because there is a lot of confusion. Now if I wasn't following up there next step would have been collection. I have been calling and following up since October and I'm still incurring charges for a service I don't have. What else can I do since they're not willing to transfer me to a supervisor nor are they resolving this in a timely manner?

  • Frustrated with lack of help!

    I up graded my phone to an iphone 5c.  I received it yesterday and call the 800# to activate my phone.  During the phone call I was transferred to customer service because my phone was unable to activated.  I was on hold for 30 mins and the customer service rep told me there was nothing she could do manually I would have to call the 800#.  I did this 3 times, each time told the same thing!   Finally the 4th time I told the rep I needed to speak to a manager and he informed me the manager wasn't available and to call tech support.  So my 5th phone call to Verizon I spoke to a girl in tech support who was able to tell why my phone wasn't unable to be activated.  the SIM card that was preinstalled was never registered and I would have to go to a Verizon store to get one.  Here's my problem again, I leave in a rural western pa.  I called my local store and they told me I would have to buy a SIM card because they are not a corporate store!  The closets corporate store is 1 hour away.  I am so frustrated with verizons lack of system checks that I just want to send the phone back!!  I have never had this many problems with Verizon and I have been a customer for 15 years.

    Verizon can mail you a Sim for free. No travel time to a corporate store.

  • Very frustrated with poor customer service and lack of integrity

    Earlier today my wife and I bought a TV from your Huntsville, AL store (removed per forum guidelines). We were looking at your 32" TVs and had several questions about them. After flagging down a sales associate, we questioned the pricing of several TVs. They were advertised under the display as one price, then where the inventory was at, were labeled a different price. The sales person confirmed that the smaller price was the correct price and the displays were incorrectly labeled. We proceeded to pick out a 32" Vizio E320I-B1/E3 TV that was labeled $219.99 where it was stocked (There were two rows of this TV all labeled $219.99) and the display was labeled $259.99. Again, I flagged down the sales associate (Taylor) on the floor and questioned the display pricing vs the shelf pricing. He AGAIN confirmed that the shelf pricing was the correct pricing and the display pricing was for a different model. We proceeded to check out, purchased a 2 year protection plan along with an HDMI cord and were on our way, new TV in tow. On the way home we reviewed the receipt and noticed we had been charged incorrectly for the TV. It rang up as 259.99 even though it was clearly labeled 219.99 and we had verified TWICE with an associate that 219.99 was the correct price. We went back to the store, thinking we would be refunded the difference. After spending over 30 minutes with customer service explaining what happened, customer service informed us that they could not refund the difference even after we showed them where the TVs were at and priced as 219.99 AND verified with the sales associate that he had confirmed that price with us TWICE. We then returned the TV for a full refund, to which my money is still tied up in the transaction until sometime next week (all for a TV that was FRAUDULENTLY sold to me!!). Not only was it mislabeled, but your sales associate told me TWO times that the labeling was correct. I am disappointed with the lack of customer service that we received. It is beyond frustrating to me that your company is unable to honor a $40 error in pricing that your very own sales associate confirmed. I believe that the store was 100% at fault for this situation and am more than displeased with the original situation and the events that followed. I consider it a disgusting lack of integrity to fraudulently sell a customer an item and refuse to right the situation when able. There is no doubt in my mind that the store manager (Cedric) or division manager could have authorized the TV to be sold at the price listed (and confirmed by the sales associate twice!) but they simply chose not to.  Prior to today I had a positive view of Best Buy and considered it my store of choice for many items. My wife even did seasonal work for this store several years prior. Unfortunately, I will no longer choose to give my money to a cooperation that does not value integrity, honesty, and accountability. I understand that you are a large corporation and my few purchases probably won't even put a dent in your profit margin, but I would just like to remind you that I represent your entire customer base. If this is the type of customer service that your company prides itself on, then I am sure this is only one of many incidents. I find that extremely unfortunate. I will now be purchasing the same TV from another company for $259.99 (where it was actually labeled correctly, and the sales associate is able to accurately confirm the pricing). My future business will not be with you after today.

    Hello lauralou1105,
    Purchasing a new TV should be fun, exciting, and straightforward, and not be complicated by unclear signage and conflicting information. I very much regret that this was your experience at the Huntsville store.
    I completely understand your conclusion that -- after the attempts to verify pricing that you made -- you should have had no questions and no surprises about the cost of the TV after purchase. Did Cedric give you any explanation as to why the TV you bought rang up at a different price or for his not honoring the display pricing?
    It is wholly disheartening to hear that this experience may influence how you shop in the future. It is my hope that you will one day give Best Buy another chance to win you over.
    Please know that I'm grateful that you shared your experience with us.
    Sincerely,

  • Very frustrated with lack of customer service on rebate offer

    Back in August I upgraded my cable service with Comcast and became a new Verizon customer. I was informed of a rebate that paid back $50 on each smartphone purchased. Since I ordered the phones (iPhone 4) directly from the website and did not deal directcly with a salesman I had to call customer care to cash in on the offer. All was good and was told I would get Visa gift cards in 4-6 weeks. When I called last week to let them know nothing had been recieved, and after being on hold for 20 minutes, I was told I had to deal with Comcast. I explained it was through Veizon as it was related to the phones, they chuckled (have the customer rep's name and ID number and  I won't post it) and told me he was not aware of that offer and nothing could be done. I asked to speak to a supervisor, he said he was a supervisor. I asked to speak to his manger, he told me that is agaist policy. I asked to leave my number and the manager call me, he told me they were too busy for that.
    So for the fun of it I Goolge the rebate and guess what, first thing that pops up. When I call Verizon they tell me that offer is no longer available. So even though I met every condition listed on Verizon's own website, they won't honor the rebate because THEY had a glitch in their customer service and the cards were never sent. Been a customer for 2 months and I've already officially been *******

        Hello Tset,
    This is definitely not the welcome party I want for you and your family.  I can't apologize more for the less than amazing experience you've had so far.  I dug really deep and I found some information and contacts regarding this rebate.
    I would need your account information in order to see what direction we need to go!  If you would be so kind as to fill this out: http://bit.ly/aUgBIy and send me a Direct Message once you've completed it.
    Keep me posted so we can resolve this together!

  • Really Frustrated with Lack of Customer Service

    I have landline, DSL Internet and then a separate mobile and data plan with you. I cam home yesterday and it seemed Fios was being installed or serviced next door or two doors down. I can not connect to the Internet via my DSL. My data plan is 75% used up. I tried calling customer service numerous times and was default routed to something automated in Spanish, which I do not speak.It not seem to be saying anything about unavailability due to time, and your web page does not seem to conspicuously sayt anything as to that either. I have a cordless phone. It was using up battery possibly on the way to nowhere even though I stayed on a good while. I tried another option at one point, you had someone with what seemed an Indian or Pakistani accident who was available to SELL me something.He spoke fast. I was asking him to be connected to customer service and he was telling me to call the number but not listening to what I was saying about the language problem. Eventually he LAUGHED at me and apparently hung up. I don't feel Verizon really cares about its customers. You care about SELLING more poor service to us. YOUR home page and a lot else looks like that. I need help. You are acting Too Big To Serve. The problem with my connection seems to be your line to me or, possibly, my modem that came with service many years ago needs to be replaced. But there is no one to communicate with, even though you are supposedly about communication.

  • Frustrated with worsening LTE service

    My area went live with LTE around 8/2012. I got my iPhone5 shortly after and enjoyed great speeds and coverage with LTE in my local area. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. Now my phone cycles back and forth from LTE to 3G. When on LTE my speeds are still great (20-25Mbps up and 7-15Mbps down) and I generally get 3-4 bars at home as usual but the phone cycles back and forth to 3G/LTE every few minutes! Interestingly this started the day after a storm with a lot of wind so figured things may have gotten knocked about. I waited about a 1 1/2 weeks before opening a ticket with Verizon. Their answer was that I was in a "poor" coverage area and to turn off LTE on my to save battery life (I'd had also complained about serious battery drain because of the constant cycling). It makes no sense for them to say I am in a poor coverage area when I previously had great service and now all of a sudden it changed. I can drive to the Verizon store in town where there is  5 bars and it will still cycle back and forth. I can get within 100 yards or so of the LTE tower with 5 bars and a strong -60dBm strength and it still wont hold that signal and switches to a 3G!
    I did think it could be my phone but it does it only in my local zip code (29461). Then I go to the neighboring city it holds a strong LTE signal and never cycles. I had a friend with the same phone came to my area and his phone did the same thing, so It is not a phone or SIM issue, its definitely a tower issue. The other interesting thing is that if I use the mobile hotspot, as long as I am connected to LTE and have activity such as a movie stream, it will stay locked on. As soon as stop any internet activity it will cycle over to 3G.
    Not sure what to do here. I am not too happy with Verizon solution and I don't think those Wilson antenna boosters would make a difference since I do have a strong signal, its just that it is getting interrupted and the phone is switching back to 3G. I've been otherwise extremely happy with Verizon coming from ATTs terrible service, but this is really getting frustrating not to be able to enjoy the LTE service.
    Thanks.

        Hello cthomas75
    Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback. I'm very sorry your experiencing issues with your signal. Let's work together and get this resolved!
    I would like to review the ticket and your account settings. Please follow me and send me a private message with your mobile number and I will look into this.

  • Frustration with lack of support for Flash Player on IPad. When is Apple going to support Flash?

    When is Apple going to support Flash Player on IPad? 
    The majority of sites that have multimedia content rely on Flash. Safari users are missing out on tons and tons of content that depends on Flash.  I have and love my IPad 2. I should be able to use this awesome thing to get at anything I need to on the Internet. Yet when I need to access Flash sites, I am forced back to my windows PC.
    Please Apple Make it happen! I'm tired of being ragged by android users on this. You need to fix it.

    Really it's not seeming that way.
    In fact, since the iPad release, and Steve Jobs famously declairing the death of Flash, Flash useage has increased.
    Check it out 95.75% of all internet connected devices have the Flash Player.
    http://www.statowl.com/flash.php
    (the mac only has 12% share, it must be totally doomed then)
    IOS Apps are now made using Adobe Flash
    http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/09/09/the-best-selling-ipad-app-on-the-app-stor e-was-created-with-adobe-flash/
    And so are Android, Blackberry etc.
    And HTML5 was supposed to be Apple's answer to all the missing content, yet here, 3 years later, HTML5 is no where to be seen, and lacks support/performance to compete with Flash.
    http://getmoai.com/images/banners/mobilegaming-html5-vs-alternatives-011112-moai .jpg
    Just look at how when you step outside the reality distortion field, things look much different. Look at HTML5 performance compared to Flash.... wasn't HTML5 supposed to outperform and save us from dead batteries? Well even 3 years after Steve Jobs claims it's still using 5x more resources than Flash.
    This demo shows 16,250 sprites animating at 60fps using the Flash player, something HTML5 can't even do with less than 100 sprites.
    http://www.bytearray.org/?p=4074
    HTML5 is a joke, Flash is real, and is providing real content to real people right now. If you as an Apple owner believe the ownership of an IOS device is worth this loss, then more power to you.

  • I am so frustrated with the customer service that I have received.

    I have been a loyal AT&T customer for many years. I added a phone to my account for my wife over three years ago. This September, I added two more phones to my account for family members on the AT&T next program. I pay my bill every single month. In June, I checked the account on the MyAT&T app and saw that one of the phones was missing. I called AT&T and was told that the phone was ported out. I was upset about this and the representative that I spoke with said that there was nothing to worry about and that there are no charges to me for this phone number or the phone. With that understanding, I thought that everything was settled. I got my bill and the full retail cost of the phone was charged to my account and automatically withdrawn from my bank account. I called AT&T upon seeing this and was transferred from department to department because nobody could seem to figure out what they were doing. I finally got to a Monique G in the Retention department who told me that I would need to speak with the global fraud department regarding the issue. I called the Fraud department and they told me that it isn't their problem and that I would need to speak with the Port-out department (the second department that I spoke with in this whole circus). I called back as I couldn't wait on hold for the 15+ minutes that it would take for someone to answer my phone call to, undoubtedly, transfer me to someone else just to be told that it isn't their problem either.I called back tonight and was told that I need to speak with the Retention department. The first person that I spoke with was very empathetic and apologetic. She was trying to find ways to resolve the issue and I told them that, as I know that it isn't necessarily their fault either that all of this happened, the number was ported out of MY ACCOUNT without my permission and I just want the number to be ported back into the account and I will continue paying the installment plan though I have no access to the phone. The first person that I spoke with told me that it could be ported back in but that, as my service had been disconnected at this point, I would have to wait for the charge to be reversed before my phone could be turned back on. I asked her if I could speak with a supervisor that might be able to make it happen sooner. She got a supervisor on the phone with me that did not have one empathetic bone in her body. She, from the beginning, made me feel like I was the *** of the earth and said that I only have one option: pay for the phone. I tried to bring up other options for resolution and she kept telling me that my only option was to pay for the phone. Then she told me that I tied up their phones for too long. I explained to her that a majority of the time was me being on hold. Then she hung up on me. I called back and they were closed.I urge any person, if you are thinking about doing ANY business with AT&T, don't do it! They don't stand by their word, actions, promises, or product.

    If It's Been Less Than 60 Days Since The Port Out Happened,
    You Should Be Able To Port That Number Back In.
    However You Would Need The Wireless Account Information Of The Account Where The Number Is Currently Active.
    Such As The Acct #, Last 4 Of Social, Passcode, Etc.
    It Might Even Be Possible To Reinstate The Next Agreement.
    You Can Call Customer Service And Request To Talk To The Winback Team.

  • Help finding my profile with purchases. Frustrated with your customer service

    I have been shopping in your stores for many years. Everytime I go they can never verify my account showing points. I never get the mail cooupons or the credit on my purchases. This year I just purchased a computer and last year I purchased a Lap Top. I have purchased many other items and still not getting credit. I put in my email address and then it says I am joining now. But I was just in the store like maybe 3 months ago and they opened a new profile and it's not showing up. I am concerned as with this is not showing my purchases. I also paid for extra coverage online for my lap top. Please help me. Thank you. Frustrated in Miami.

    Greetings MADDIEjud, and welcome to the Best Buy forum! I can understand your concerns if you are not seeing purchases or points when you login to your account on BestBuy.com.  After using the email address you registered with the forum to review your account, it turns out that you actually have two My Best Buy™ accounts.  The account that your purchases are attached to is not linked to your BestBuy.com account, which is why it may appear you are not being awarded points. I would suggest that we look into merging your two accounts so that it is easier for you to keep track of your purchases and points.  It should also make it easier for store associates to find your account in the future.  As long as the two accounts share the same information, I should have not issue merging them.  Any points/certificates in the secondary account would transfer over to the primary account following the merge. With that all having been said, I am going to need to gather some additional information from you before we move forward.  I will be sending you a private message to gather the information I need and to see if there are any other questions I can perhaps help answer.  To check your private messages, you will want to login to the forum and click on the little yellow envelope icon located at the top of the page. Merging My Best Buy™ Accounts Thank you for reaching out to us and for being a member of the My Best Buy™ program.

  • Extremely Frustrated with lack of pre sales support

    A friend will be moving to Mexico but was looking at buying G550 MFG#: 2958A4U laptop in Canada but needs to make sure that it is serviceable in Mexico. I phoned Lenovo web sales but they could not help since that p/n is not sold on the website. Is this model serviceable in Mexico and if so is it only by mail within Mexico ie no on site service??

    tell him " make sure your lenovo has valid international warranty "
    he can check it here, but he needs serial number.
    ps : do not post serial numbers here for security issue.

    Going nuts trying to get the X-Fi Fatality FSP card to work with my system. I've posted my woes and troubleshooting in this forum. I've called the Creative Support line and got a generic "try another PCI slot" suggestion. Also tried the email support, got a very prompt response along with "if this doesn't solve the problem reply" note.
    Well so far nothing works. I've completed all the suggested "fixes" and have replied 4 times to the email with the results of their suggested approach and additional info/troubleshooting actions taken. Going on 2 weeks now and no reply, no additional hints.

    Detailed problem description:? Sometimes the system hangs during install of the X-Fi driver. In this case I'll boot into Safe Mode, clean up the driver residue, reboot into Vista and try again. Once I can get the driver to install the system will then hang as Vista tries to start?(during the GUI screen after the bars pass 8-9 times). With the driver installed the system will boot into Safe Mode. I will then disable the X-Fi, boot into Vista, and then re-enable the X-Fi. The system will then hang as the X-Fi tries enable.
    Thinking the X-Fi was bad I? installed it in an old DELL XP system. Works perfectly.
    I've attempted various configurations, with all of them the X-Fi behaves EXACTLY the same as described above:
    With the Realtek drivers installed, with/without the onboard audio enabled in BIOS<
    Without the Realtek drivers installed, with/without the onboard audio enabled in BIOS<
    Install X-Fi drivers before any nVidia?drivers (mobo or graphics)<
    Install X-Fi drivers after nVidia mobo drivers, but no graphic drivers (default VGA graphics)<
    Install X-Fi drivers after graphics drivers (00.65 and 0.4) and without?mobo drivers<
    Install X-Fi drivers after nVidia mobo and graphics drivers (00.65 and 0.4) installed<
    With only one graphics card and X-Fi in the bottom PCI slot, all of the above<
    With both graphics cards with/without SLI enabled (both 00.65 and 0.4 graphics drivers)<
    Install X-Fi Vista "clean boot"<
    Install Vista "no HAL" boot<
    Install Vista "2G ram boot"<

  • Frustrated with lack of fix for LR launch freeze

    This LR CC launch freeze issue is frustrating and the inability to get support is unsatisfactory.
    The two Adobe solutions do not work.
    Numerous uninstall/reinstall do not work.
    Impossible to get support on the chat line.
    Losing faith in the product.

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • Frustrated with Verizon and their inconsistent Customer Service

    I am so frustrated with Verizon and their Customer Care/Service.  I have never been told so many different things.  It seems that there is no consistency with what they tell customers.  I called and explained to them that I have been with them for over 20 years that we were looking to save on our monthly bill. They said that with my employee discount, and they checked to see if I qualified for other discounts, I didn't and they lady could have cared less to help.   My Verizon/employee discount is changing (decreasing in percentage saved), Sprint and AT&T offer a higher discount with my employer.   I spoke to Sprint and AT&T and they offer not only better discount, they are cheaper (and AT&T coverage is better here where I live, versus very broken up where I live when it comes to Verizon).   Anyway, I called back and spoke to a Rep. named Kayla who was more than happy to keep us at Verizon.  I questioned the Edge plan, and that none of our 5 lines where up to where I could get it.  I asked her if she could speak to someone and make an exception.  She did and said that was not a problem that since we had been loyal customers for over 20 years, I could do the Early Edge on all 5 lines, that she could go ahead and place an order for 5 new phones of what we wanted - and that when I received them, then I would have to send Verizon back the 5 phones that we currently have.  I thought great.  I'd be saving atleast some money going this route.  I told her that I wasn't sure which phones we wanted that I would find out and call back.  I did the online chat later because I had a question, and that Rep told me - No, that wasn't going be happening at all that I was misinformed.   This is not the first time that this has happened with Verizon.  A rep in a store told me if I bought this Verizon tablet ($99 with a $99 mail in rebate - Free, I liked that - then he said if I did that, he could save us $20 per month on  what we were currently paying per month).    Well, low and behold - I got an extra line - a tablet that I had no use for (he got me at the whole "I'll lower your bill $20 per month".  I fell for it, and it didn't save me one penny.   In the meantime, I put Sprint and AT&T to the test - I spoke with each of them about 3 different times each and got the same answer each time from both of the providers.  Customer Care/Service and consistency and not misleading customers is what is selling me.   I will gladly spend my $3,400/year elsewhere - and save money in the process.   Anyone else have similar experiences???

    Early Edge works by having you turn in the phone on the line that is early edge upgraded.  You then start paying for the full cost of that phone over 24 months, sooner once you get to 75% paid off on that phone, where you can trade it in and start again on another phone, but you will have lost the money already paid up to 75%.  When you trade in the phone for Early Edge and then trade in the new phone for edging up, the phones must be in perfect working order with no damage of any kind.
    The money "saved" comes from being on Edge where, if the phone is on a plan with 6GB or more data, you save $25 per month on each Edge phone, $15 if on a plan with less than 6GB.  However, you turn around and put that $25 back onto the phone payment each month, so you DO save $25/$15 but you basically break about even on a 6GB and greater plan after the phone cost.
    BUT, in the end, if you get a better, more reliable signal from ATT, and you have an awful signal with VZW, you might consider a switch, but you'd have a large sum of ETFs at this point to cancel all 5 lines.  There are also special stipulations as to who and when one can Edge up or start Early Edge, such as 6 months straight on-time payments.

    Early Edge is basically just starting the Edge plan early, so the above page should answer a lot of the questions regarding eligibility. Be warned however, that there are a lot of people with issues who decided to take advantage of this program, namely the trade-in process of sending old phones back and then finding charges on their bill for phones that were "not" received at the warehouse.
    It is my opinion that you should not go this route, because if you have less than stellar service now, you are setting yourself up for possible frustration and another 2 years of disappointment.
