Harassing Verizon customer service phone calls for past due under 30 days!!

Ok, this is ridiculous!!  I switched from ATT 6 months ago, who has way better customer service by the way because I just couldn't get as good of cell service in my office building as Verizon so I had to switch!
I have never had so many calls over 3 - 5 times a day to have a partial past due balance that is still 10 days away from being 30 days late!
This is horrible on a customer service level and I want to complain that other companies are not this RUDE!!  Sorry if you are broke trying to build too many cell towers and infrastructure and one time that you can't afford carrying people's past due balances for another few days but this will make me switch back to ATT.

  • What's going on with Verizon customer service phone number?

    I wanted to upgrade my data plan, so I called 800 922 0204 (same as calling 611), and was presented with this error message:
    "The information you have entered does not match the information we have on file. If you are entering a User ID, try using your cell phone number.  It is also possible that the account you are trying to access is not registered. Please register your account at www.verizonwireless.com. "
    What??? I've had this account for over 5 years, same user name, same password. I was able to log in, saw all info on my account, but when clicked on Upgrade Data plan, I was instructed to call the 800 number above. I had a chat session with the sales dept, they said they could not help me with this issue, since they're only trying to sell devices.
    Anybody have an idea what's going on? There's no other phone number to call Verizon.
    Thank you!!

    (800) 256-4646 Thats sales, but might can get you to where you want to go.

  • How do I request a transcript of a Verizon Customer Service phone conversation that I asked to be reviewed?

    On 2/11 I had a recorded phone conversation with a Verizon Supervisor.  We had a dispute about what was offered and I asked that the tapes be reviewed to settle the dispute.  I was told the tapes would be reviewed and I would receive a text with the results.  As of now, I have received no return text with the results.  How do I request a transcript of our conversation. 

    First of all, Verizon only states your conversation MAY be recorded, not that it WILL be recorded.
    It also states they are for "training purposes", not for providing transcripts to Verizon customers.
    I doubt you will be able to get either a copy of the recording, if there is one, or a transcript.

  • This is for Verizon Customer Service: Is there an estimated date for the 8.1 Denim update for Windows Phones?

    Will Cyan be rolled out for the Icon, or should we expect to wait until Denim is supposed to be rolled out around October
    << Moderation discussion removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >>  This is a very specific question and Verizon Customer Service can't answer it if they don't have a chance to read the question.
    I spoke with Microsoft Customer service, and the agent specifically said MS already pushed Cyan to Verizon, and he, as a WP owner on Verizon, was also frustrated that the updates haven't been rolled out by VZW.
    So bottom line question: Skipping Cyan? If so, what is the Denim date?
    Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

    Unfortunately the answer is unknown.  The majority of the Windows phone threads here are about this exact subject, and that says a lot about Verizon and their ability to communicate on a basic level.  You might get your update, you may not.  Verizon is in control and doesn't really care.

  • IPhone 5 and Verizon customer Service Nightmare Please help!

    I need help with Verizon customer service. I would like to know if I am being unreasonable. Here is my story. I ordered an iPhone 5 from apple to add to my Verizon account. This will be my fourth line of service with Verizon. I spend over 200 dollars a month with Verizon. I ordered the iPhone on the first day it was available to order. I received my iPhone on Tuesday 9/25/12. The nightmare begins. I call Verizon customer service to activate service. I get bounced from department to department because they are unable to activate my phone. This goes on for about an hour. I then get to a nice young lady that was very friendly and worked hard to try to help me. We spend for hours on the phone speaking to all of her different departments and even calling apple care and apple directly. The problem is Verizon set my new line of service to start in the middle of October. After about 4-5 hours on hold with customer service I am told they can't activate my new phone until the middle of October because when the order was placed they set up my activation date wrong. They went on to tell me they could do nothing more and transferred me to apple as they said only apple can fix the problem. I spend the next two hours on the phone with apple. Apple class all their tech support and calls Verizon back and explains my phone is a working phone and Verizon is the one providing the service so this is definitely a Verizon issue. I am advised by apple that I need to call Verizon back to fix. At this point Verizon is closed as I have been on hold with reps past closing time. I call back to Verizon and get a really helpful customer service rep the next day. Spend two hours on hold with him and he gets my service turned on. He states they should have been able to help me with this yesterday and apologized to me. He advised I would have to call back the next day to change my phone numbers around. Total time invested today 2 hours. Total time invested so far over 8 hours. I call back the next day to get my numbers moved around. Takes about an hour. When we are done I ask if I can get a credit on my next bill for having to spend over 8 hours on the phone to fix Verizon's mistake. I am transferred to a very condescending manager who laughs at me and tells me in essence they don't care about my time. He offers me one day of service credit. I advise him this is unacceptable. He gives me an analogy that this is like me getting my electric turned off for not paying and then wanting a credit for the time it took to turn back on. He even laughed at me on the phone and told me he wasn't going to do anything. When I asked to speak to a higher up manager I was told no. My question is who do I advise to get this rectified, and is it unreasonable to expect a credit when I spent over 8 hours on the phone with Verizon to correct their mistake?  Pleas help!

    Yes, don't feel it is as black&white as other posters here, but it is impractical. 
    What is the value of your time for example?  If you are not self-employed, were you still being paid during these 8 hours.  A court would consider actual economic loss, did you lose money during these 8 hours?   And do you/your employer pay customers in similar situations?  In my experience, you get credit based on the service (e.g. the 1 day credit) rather than being paid for your time.
    And on the flip side, if I call up Verizon complaining that my phone doesn't work, and it turns out that I had forgot to charge it, do you want to be billed for the rep's time when it was your mistake?  (Of course, wireline DOES do this, if Verizon dispatches a repair tech and the fault is inside your house etc (without a wiring contract) you do get charged)
    Certainly the one day credit is the minimum they should provide.  As others have said, your real recourse is to return the phone.

  • Customer "service" phone maze needs a complete redesign

    A billing glitch with my prepaid account required me to talk to a real person to solve my problem. First I tried calling *611, but each attempt got me into a dead-end phone maze that only allowed for routine automated transactions. There was no option given for speaking to a customer service representative.. NOT ONE! None of the options allowed me to return to the main menu, either, so each dead end required that I hang up and start over.
    Several times I also tried entering "0" for a live person as most other companies allow, only to get the following message: "We're sorry you're having difficulties. Goodbye [click]" What idiot thought that one up??? WHEN A CUSTOMER IS HAVING DIFFICULTIES YOU SHOULD NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER SAY GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless your goal is to say goodbye to a customer forever! In fact, if I didn't have a fairly substantial prepaid balance to protect, that definitely would have been the end of my 12-year relationship with Verizon.
    I also tried calling other numbers listed on the so-called "support" section of your website, which were accompanied by  the words "We have Customer Service Representatives that can help with your account, plan and bill questions." That is a lie. These numbers directed me into the same dead-end phone maze described above with the same disastrous results.
    I then called my local Verizon store, and on the first try I got sucked back into the same dead-end phone maze as before. I tried my local store a second time, selecting the "sales" option. That got me to a local person, but she couldn't deal with my problem. She gave me two other toll-free numbers to try. The first one sent me back into the same dead-end maze, while the second one was no longer in service.
    In desperation, I joined this forum. In one thread I found the number to the "porting" department, which took me to a live person almost immediately. They in turn transferred me so a customer service rep who was able to solve my problem in five minutes. But my total time invested was closer to two hours. That is unacceptable!
    Last year I had similar difficulties, but was finally able to connect with someone after about 30 minutes of trying. This time it took two  hours, clearly indicating that Verizon customer service has gone from bad to horrific in less than 12 months.
    So by this post I'm putting your company on notice. The next time I need help, if I don't get it on the first or second try, I will end my 12-year relationship with your company that very day. I will also post my experience on Facebook and every other public forum I can find. That's a promise. So fix your dysfunctional phone maze if your want to keep me as a customer.

  • Could anyone show me how to file a complaint with Verizon Customer Service?

    I would first like to state that this is my first time having an issue with Verizon Customer Service.In all my years of using their service, I had never run into someone that truly had no idea what they were talking about. I would like to file a complaint to save everyone from experiencing the frustration I am feeling and from wasting your time.
    Here is the story, so that you can understand the reason why I would like to file a complaint;
    My phone has always had an SD Card in addition to the phone memory because my phone memory is already tiny, less than 1 GB.I put things that cannot be put on my SD Card (my text messages, contacts, etc.).
    This past week I kept on receiving air messages that my phone memory was full. I deleted most of my text messages but I still received air messages that my phone memory was "full".  I therefore decided to call Verizon Wireless to see if they could help me solve my problem or at least educate me on what was taking space in my phone memory.
    Well, I unfortunately had the luck of being connected with a representative named "Naima" and I told her about my phone memory problem. She said she knew how to fix my problem and instructed me to click on the "Format SD Card" button. Following her instructions blindly, I never once stopped to consider that clicking on that button would erase everything. And so  ALL my pictures, ringtones, and videos were erased.
    Trying to fix her mistake she dug herself into a deeper hole. Instead of admitting that she had made a mistake she claimed that my pictures, ringtones, and videos could be recovered, She had me access Backup Assistant, but my stuff was NOT saved there. I later learned that my phone's Backup Assistant can only save contacts, NOT pictures. She knew what phone I had (representatives have all the phone's info and history) yet she led me in circles and wasted my time and could not own up to her mistake.
    What upsets me is the fact that she did not even KNOW that the phone memory and SD Card are 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things.And also she could not own up to her mistake, but instead wasted at least an hour of my time trying to get Backup Assistant to do something it could not.
    I then attempted to file a complaint to found that Verizon makes it Virtually Impossible to file a complaint, only through MAIL! Really??

    Well actually sending a certified return receipt letter to Verizon Wireless may or may not do any good. you can also file a complaint here http://www.bbb.org
    Those out of memory messages usually mean internal memory is getting full. I have no idea of your make and model of device but there are many articles via google that tell you how to transfer files from internal memory to sd card memory.
    Now on the off chance your sd card is nearing its capacity you can either hook to your computer via usb and the computer will show two drive letters. One is internal memory and the other is the sd card memory. If its internal memory and your sd card is not full you can drag and drop the files to the sd card. However you can also get a card reader and then make a saved files folder on your desktop, then cut and paste any or all movable files to that new folder you just created. its really very easy.
    You can also remove files from internal memory (music, photos,documents) to that folder on your desktop. You can also remove all files and photos from the sd card on a regular basis to never have that low memory problem again. I always purchase the largest sd card that is usable on my device and never save anything like music and photos to internal memory.

  • Verizon Customer Service?

    Verizon Customer Service?
    A Verizon Supervisor just told me on 1/08/2011 and I quote: “ You can't expect first class service if your only paying for coach.” and So
     I'm writing this to express my dissatisfaction with Verizon home phone and internet service, as my only recourse since I live in an area where they are the only option for this type service. My hopes are that if enough people know the kind of service that is being provided or not provided as the case my be, and of the attitude of the supervisor that I had the misfortune of contacting, That Maybe, just maybe there will be some sort of change and We can get some kind of service? Even in coach.
    First I like to let everyone know that this is not a one-time problem our service has been out 5 times in the matter of a year and a half and each time we have call for service it has been handled pretty much the same way. We pay for Life line phone service and DSL high speed internet when it is working I have no complaints the problem is when you need a trouble call, our Life line phone service was out for 10 days before a local repair tech was even contacted, he was just here and fixed the problem at the box down the street in less than 10 min he also let us know that he had been available thee entire week and was not busy he just wasn't informed that there was a problem. We called the problem with the phone in on New Years day and didn't expect anyone out then, but was told that some would be out on the 4th between 8am and 11am, well that did not happen and we waited all day before calling again. That night I call the toll free number again and was inform that they had no record of a trouble call even being placed, but that they would set it up now and that a repair person would be out on the 7th again between 8am and 11am at 1:30pm I called again, this time I was told rudely that the problem did not need a technician and would be repaired by 7pm that night. At 6:55pm I called with a friends cell phone and talked with a supervisor who apologized and assured me that someone would be at our house in the morning, guess when? Yep between 8am and 11am she also told me that she personally would follow up on the problem. Next day 8 to 11 came and went and no phone service at 1pm I called again and asked to speak with a supervisor I was placed on hold for close to an hour and when the supervisor did pickup I explained the problem and also inform him that along with being a life line it is also the contact number for my home business and he told me that it didn't mean anything and that if I had a better phone plan my service would have been repaired by now, and “ You can't expect first class service if your only paying for coach.” but would try to get someone out before 7pm or the next morning (Sunday) did not believe it but after that I did not call anymore the service was fixed at 2pm on Monday the 10th. I guess I should just be happy it was fixed, but I wanted people to know how Verizon Customer Service treats it's customers.
    Thank you,

    Dear ANYBODY at VERIZON who ACTUALLY Cares!
    I also agree that the customer service or I should extreme lack there of is your main problem. I just got off the phone with a Melissa {edited for privacy}who is a Sales Associate in Virginia. Her title is consultant. I have had so many problems with Verizon since I moved into my new home last July that I can't even count anymore the amount of times I have had to call and argue with them. They are never willing to just fix anything or help the consumer. It's always our fault or we need to call this department that's not there problem, it's a different department etc. I am so sick of this. I had my service go out probably close to a year ago and they had to come out and replace the line. I was told a temporary line was being installed and a week later they would be back to bury the line. Well they NEVER came back. I have called several times and nothing gets done. Plus I have had SOOOO many problems with my bill its like a child is handling it.  When I  moved I was suppose to have service transferred. It wasn't. The guy who had no clue what he was doing that worked for Verizon didn't transfer me he set up and brand new account all together. I even questioned him a few times about why he needed my social security number etc and told him I wasn't getting a new account that I was just transferring service. He said that he understands but that this is part of that transfer. I didn't understand that but then I don't work at Verizon(probably have more brain cells than are required for them) so I let it go. I later find out that I have two accounts open. So I owe this outrageous amount of money. I call back and get the run around. Eventually after several hours on the phone and several weeks of back and forth and research and after I called them again! I get it figured out, OR SO I THOUGHT!  So my new bill arrives and there is a huge like $350 early termination fee. Are you kidding me??? Hello I just went over this a billion times I didn't cancel your stupid service I transferred it and because the wonderful associate working for them couldn't successfully do his job, well I was suffering for it. So then I had to call to get that HUGE fee removed that I should have never been charged. WEll this took SEVERAL MONTHS to get worked out. Finally after spending countless hours on the phone and hold and being transferred and going back and forth a Supervisor agrees to take care of this and apologizes etc. Well my account apparently was placed on hold. So a few months goes by and I get no bill. I figure OK it's probably because I have a huge credit now so I don't have a bill. Well I called anyways. I was told my account is in a hold or suspended status in their system in review and that a c credit should be issued soon but it can take up to something crazy like 8-10 weeks to get resolved. I explain that I am worried because if there is a bill after all this time I don't want to one day get a huge bill in the mail. The said that I actually had a credit and that adjustments were being made to my account so there was no need to worry. Well about a month or 2 after that BAM a huge almost $500 bill shows up. SO have to call back fight with them some more and tell them what happened but at the end of the day I am still responsible for the bill as I have had the service the tell me so I still need to pay for it even though I tried dto do that ALL ALONG! So I have to come up with almost $500 plus the new months bill is getting ready to go out. Well I didn't have that kind of money right then. So I had to take my time and pay it over several months plus the new bills that were coming in on top of that each month as well. So NOTHING and I mean NOTHING but problems. Then my service gets shut off after I already called and talk to them and made and online payment. So of course it's after hours and I can't get a hold of anyone to actually talk to. Well I say screw and just make a payment to get it restored. WEll that also doesn't go smooth. Why would it right? So I spend about 2 hours trying to make a payment and restore service. I mean they shut my phone off so I can't call anyone except the number to restore service except that number does me no good because nobody is there because the office is closed. SO I try to pay online. Should be easy right? Nope go through a bunch of crap to do that and finally submit payment and get a message that my payment is unable to be applied to my account please call customer service to proceed. Well customer service is CLOSED! At this point I just can't even take it I am about to SCREAM! SOOO I finally just get back on the phone pay through the automated system where I have to receive an additional fee for paying but at this point I am so frustrated I don't care anymore(sad huh) THe next day I find out they processed my payment twice! Of course they did! Then getting the money returned and the extra fee I had to pay for paying it a second time when there system told me it wasn't paid but then they took my money anyway well that couldn't be refunded because that wasn't their fee. That's a 3rd party fee! OF COURSE IT IS!  So NOTHING but problems. SO I am trying to play catch up as usual. It's also Christmas time and I try to go on today to pay my bill. I notice my new bill just billed a week ago is almost $190. Are you kidding me? So I find a $30 fee. I call and the fee is for them shutting my service off. $30 for you to click a button and turn in back on?? Talk about being robbed! So I talk to this Melissa {edited for privacy}and try to explain my frustration etc and ask to get the fee removed. Well she takes it upon her self to not remove it. It's her judgment call and because I have a balance at the time she won't do it. She can remove it but she WONT remove it because I have a balance! GIVE ME A BREAK! All that they have done to me and put me through and they can't remove it because I have a balance?  Yea I am so over Verizon and switching services ASAP NOW! THANK YOU MELISSA {edited for privacy}FOR SUCH WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY! WAY TO MAKE YOUR CONSUMERS HAPPY AND KEEP LOYAL CUSTOMERS COMING BACK! A+ on driving them away!
    Simply put. Verizon is just out to get your money. THey don't care about thier customers and when they screw up we have to just suck it up and deal with it. We make a mistake and again we have to deal with it. I have never had my service turned off. The one time I do they can't remove the HUGE $30 restore fee! The service is restored electronically and you have to wait 4+ hours and they still charge you $30! Seriously give your customers some respect even a little would be nice! After all I been through I don't think them reversing that huge $30 fee would of killed them.

  • Verizon Customer Service and Samsung Galaxy S III

    A little over 3 weeks ago I purchased a Samsung Galaxy III phone from Verizon.
    The exact store is:
    224 North Weber Road,
    Bolingbrook, IL 60440
    (630) 226-4660
    When I purchased the phone the person who sold me the phone told me that I had 30 days, If I was not completely satisfied with the phone I could return it and get my money back.  However, he assured me that I would LOVE my new phone.
    I had just come off using a Blackberry for 4 years with no problems AT ALL!  I loved that phone, but I thought it would be nice to get up to the 21st century phone standards and get a touch screen phone.  Well, I went for the best…… or so I thought.
    As soon as I got my new phone in the car, I started using the speaker phone hands free.  The speakerphone began to cut in and out and the person, my husband whom I most speak with could not understand what I was saying.  I used the speakerphone on my Blackberry without issue.  I did not think much of it because I was so happy to have my new phone.  I thought maybe I was just in a bad area etc… Well the issue persisted also when I called my bank, my husband’s mother, my mother and it did not matter where I was the speaker phone did not work properly.  Then my phone started to drop calls.  Again, I thought it may have been the area, but it started happening a lot.  So now I was really beginning to wonder.  Having though I was still under the 30 DAY warranty, I gave it a few more days.  I began having to take out the battery to reset the unit because apps where disappearing and when I went to re-install them the unit indicated that app was already on my phone and wanted to know if I would like to uninstall the app.  I had to once again take out the battery and have the unit restart.  Well, I could not take it anymore.  With all of the things going wrong only a couple of weeks after purchase, I had to go into the store and see what they could do for me.  I went in and explained my situation to the manger who was greeting people at the door, I think her name was Katie or something like that.  She put me in line on her IPad just like everyone else for someone to assist me.  I was assigned to a very pleasant associate who took the battery out of my phone and said try this to see if this works for you.  I, not knowing very much about the technology said ok and walked out of the store.  Well it kept on getting worse.  I went back to the store on Sunday, September 30th 2012 asking for my money back or a new replacement for the phone.   They would not assist me. I started with a regular associate and went up the chain finally getting Katie (the store manager) who repeated everything that everyone else said.  So, obviously, she has no managerial skills at all.   She stated that they would have to totally reset my phone to see if some apps where conflicting etc.  Isn’t that what you purchase a Smartphone for??? To put apps on it and calendars etc.  I just downloaded a calendar and Xfinity because that is what I have my e-mail on.  I don’t’ think that was the issue, but you could not tell Katie anything. 
    I wanted a new phone replacement or money back as I spent $300.00 dollars on this phone.  She would not have it.  She said we have to go through the proper trouble shooting because I was out of the 14 day return policy!!!!.   OMGsh 14 days????  I was told 30!  Had I known this, I would have gotten my money back the first time I took the phone in for the issues I was having.  At that time, I was still under the 14 day policy!  I proceeded to express my opinion to everyone in the store stating “Don’t buy a Samsung Galaxy III” They are pieces of **bleep**. Well, needless to say Katie did not like that and she set my phone down in front of me and said, if I am going to swear, she is not going to help me.  Ok, then I re-worded my statement to tell everyone in the store “Don’t buy a Samsung Galaxy III they are pieces of garbage”  I cleaned it up a little, but still got my point across.  I also told her that I would blog about it and send a letter to the corporate office of both Samsung and Verizon.  I don’t think that she believed me, but here I am taking my time for this stuff.  Time I don’t have much of, but I feel very strongly about this situation.  I was lied to and Katie had the nerve to tell me that if I get a replacement phone from them, it would be a refurbished unit even though I just purchased the unit 3 weeks earlier.  THAT is unacceptable by any standards!!! 
    Needless to say I left the store totally dissatisfied with Verizon’s customer service and the Samsung Galaxy III phone.  I have not put any unusual apps on my phone nor have I downloaded a new calendar to my phone and I am still having the same issues with dropped calls and bad speaker phone.  I will not put any time into this phone for them to tell me they need to reset the whole darn thing again!  I am not going to bother going back to that Verizon store, because I know that they will not lift a finger to do anything about it.
    My husband wants an IPhone 5.  We will not be purchasing this from Verizon and I will probably eat the cancellation fee and go through AT&T so that my husband can get his IPhone.  I will never purchase another thing from Verizon, this is not the first time that that they have let me down.
    I hope that this letter, blog, facebook, YouTube note will open some eyes with regard to Verizon customer service and the Samsung Galaxy III phone.  I don’t know if it will, but with social media as it is, I hope it DOES!
    Thanks for nothing Verizon!!!
    Sincerely

    Please do not trust Verizon customer service team based on my experience.
    I have a internet service with Verizon and I am paying $79.99 monthly for 15/5 mbps and one day I saw a flyer from Verizon stating that $79.99 you will get triple play with 25/25 mbps speed and with 2 year contact I will receive $400 Visa gift card and  I decided to sign up for the triple play with 50/50 for $99 and I called Verizon customer care and I have asked for this offer and she said yes you will be eligible for this offer and I will receive that $400 after 90 days. so I am willing to go for it and I said ok with 2 year contract and then she told me that our conversation will be recorded and she asked me to wait for the recorded conversation and we have completed the contract and I told her that I will pick the equipment form the Verizon office today (12/30/2014) and I went there and i took the TV box and came home and fixed it but it didn’t work and it is throwing the 8312 error message and I called Verizon customer service and one representative told me that I will get charged for $140 if you want technician but I told him that why should I pay because your Verizon service is not working but the guy keep on saying the something and I hangup the phone and I called other day 12/31/2014 and some representative told me that that is our (Verizon) problem and I will send the technician on 01/02/2015 as tomorrow is Jan 1st we may not have anyone and i said that should be fine.
    But I have received an email from Verizon on 12/30/2014 stating that my FIOS TV was activated.
    I tried the TV service for 3 days and we (my family) have decided that these are not useful channels for us and we have decided that we can disable the TV service and we would like to go back only Internet service (15/5 mbps) and I called the customer service and told the something but She told me that there is no way you can go back to 15/5 mbps as Verizon is no longer offering this service and I don’t have more choice left. I have requested her to cancel FIOS TV service and I told her that I just need only Internet service. She said that should be fine I can cancel the TV service and you will still get charged for Activation fee $59.99 and there is no way I can wave that fee.
    I asked her why should I get charged as I am canceling the service with in 4 days ? She said there is no way we can wave that. Then I asked her ok at least you can lower down my internet speed from 50/50 to 25/25 and then she said we can’t do that. Then I requested her supervisor and after 5 mins she get hold of her supervisor and here I asked her what are my best options to lower my bill as Verizon is no longer offering me 15/5 ? She said whatever she offered is the best and at that time I asked her I want to keep the FIOS service but I would like to lower down the speed from 50/50 to 25/25 and I will get that $400 gift card then she told me that there is no way you will get $400 gift card and I am sorry that even if you keep this bundle you should not receive that gift card whoever told you that is not the correct information and again she asked me that did you receive the email stating that you should receive $400 gift card. I said no and told her that I didn’t know about your automated email generation but I have trusted the Verizon customer representative and requested her to pull the recorded conversation but she didn’t agree with it and at the same time she told me that these records may to may not be stored in our records. 
    I asked one question that I have received the email from Verizon stating that my TV service was started on 12/30/2014 but actually it was started in 01/02/2015 and are going to trust your automated emails ? She had no answer to it and stated that we have finished our conversation and told to customer representative that please go ahead and cancel the TV service for him.
    This is very very bad customer support from Verizon.
    Please do not trust Verizon customer service team based on my experience.
    Funny thing is that they (Verizon customer service representative) are not believing their own team.
    Good suggestion : Please request them (Verizon customer service representative ) to send an email with the gift card information and please check your email before you are installing the TV equipment otherwise you will get no response from them.

    First thank you so much for your response!
    Second,   The supervisor is not really care about the customers as I am using Verizon internet connection for the years but she really don't care about it and at the end of our conversation she told to customer rep that please cancel his service and then she hangup the phone. I not even confirmed about the cancellation. For no good reason now I am ending up with paying extra $10 for only my internet service. Now they told me that I need to pay $89.99 monthly + activation fee $59.99 but they offered me high speed which is not required for me at this movement.
    Also I went to the Verizon office and I took the box and came home and installed for my self but still they are charging me $59.99 activation fee even though I cancelled my service with in 4 days of time.
    Also the supervisor asking me that do you have any email confirmation ? But by the time we receive an email we might have completed telephone conversation with the rep stating that we have agreed all the terms. How could we know that we need to check our email before the activation ? Verizon team didn't spicified to me about it.
