Has Verizon lost its customer service touch

It has been so frustrating to talk to a Verizon customer service rep...they don't seem to be knowledgeable. Providing incorrect information, making changes to plans you didn't ask for...Getting to a point where the network doesn't matter if you have to spend so much time going thru this mess

BT & ITS CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE!!!!

On a second thought, NO!! It is a disgrace!! I'm very angry, frustrated and utterly dissapointed!! I will take my case to the highest authority as i have had enough of this poor and lack of service company!
Just to mention i'm still on the phone on one hand and typing to convey my message on the other, and for the record as i check my time waiting on the phone its been 47:12 minutes since i've been trying to get spoken to and mind you its not the first time ive had this experience either!! After speaking to an employee who had no clue whatsoever i was told to speak to the manager and still WAITING!!! wonder if the manager is having dinner or sleeping!! where is customer service, or rather do they even know what customer service is all about! Hah you bet!
My story
In early september as i moving to a different property i called BT to transfer my phone line to to my new address, and after going through all the details, ( i need to mention even at the time i spoke with more than 3 individuals over a 2 hours almost time period, as the people there had no clue what their job is all about) in the end i managed to speak to a lady who confirmed everything for me and said because of the new property i will have to re-enter myself on a new contract not to incur any installation charges which was something ridiculous like the 100.00 +, i agreed and even mention to them at the time if i will incur any charge and they said NO!!! after two weeks my new phone line and service will be up and running!! i was also told my current phone line in my old property will get disactivated at midnigt on the day i called, it seemed logical so i waited to see my new engineer coming but no one ever turned up!!!!
2 weeks gone never received any email or letters, so i waited thinking maybe i will hear from you in the next few days but sadly NO, so after 3 weeks i got on the phone again and i spoke again with the endless names of people in the wrong department for someone to finally manage to tell me what actually is going on!! apparently at the time i was getting my services changed to my new property my last bill at my previous property wasnt cleared hence why they couldnt proceed with the order!! How do you expect me to know that if you dont communicate with ME!!!!!!
ok that now cleared and bills paid , i seek the reassurance that now everything is sorted when do i get my service, i was told will need to re order and again should get the service within 3 weeks, i was on the train at the time and told the lady my phone can lose network if that's the case please send me the confirmation by email or post as we were almost in the end of the conversation, she said YES!! three weeks gone and no email came and no letter came!!!! again got on the phone with them and nothing from the second time conversation has been saved and processed!! I ask myself why do you pay incompetent people to work for you, is your company really that hopeless that you cant recruit the right candidate or is it just that you just dont care!!!!
After the third time i again got on the phone with them i managed to have a final complete conversation and i was told that an engineer will attend on the 8th of november to get my services sorted and yes i am on a new contract, howver again nothing till date has confirmed these details in writing! at every converstaion i have had with them i clarified whether i will incur any charges i was told NO!!!
today i just so happened to log into my bt account and to my shocking revelation found out that i had a bill of 100.00 to clear, surprised i got on the phone for some clarification? and yes to give you an update on my time on the phone to speak to the infamous manager its now 1hr 13 mins since i'm still on hold WAITING!!
my question to you the team are the following:
i made myself clear today when i called and spoke to the lady that i do not want to speak to someone who has no clue about her job she reassured me am in the right department and she will help me,
i questionned how do i have a bill of 100.00 + for not using the service since september, she said to me its my contract charge as my new contract starts on the 8th of november now, i ask, has this information been communicated to me before? NO is the answer, secondly i was told the first time when i request the change of service into my new property that my line and account will be cancelled at midnight on that day, how can i then be still charged, on top i dont even live in that property and address anymore? you guys are fooling customers and misleading us, for sure i am not growing money on trees to give to bt for its disgusting and shambolic service, do you make fun out of your customers?????
oh the line has finally dropped at its been 1hr and 19 mins officially since i have been waiting to speak to the manager, i wonder whether the receptionist on the side has hung the phone or the phone itself has gone tired and gave up!!!
it might be fun for you reading this message learning of my frustration but trust me this is the limit!!!!
i need you to formally now write to me and APOLOGISE and for the record i'm terminating all my services with you as i cant bother anymore and yes you will need to see that this matter is resolve in the least trouble to me, you need to write off that absurd bill of 100.00 that you have unfairly and unjustly billed me for a service i have never used and been ridiculed for and (b), as i cant bear the stress of dealing with BT anymore i am stopping my service and you will need to make sure i dont imcur any riduculous charges, as i wont pay you a penny and i will take this matter as far as it should because you have crossed all limits!!!!
i await to hear from you

Shame on Adobe for Terrible Customer Service!!!!

I just purchased PSE 8 after the 30 day trial. This product is filled with bugs. WHen it works it is great. Unfortunately there are too many bugs and zero customer service to back up the product. That's why were all here online trying to figure out each other's problems. The techs located in India can not help us. I used the trial version for less than 30 days and ran into a problem with the sync feature. It stopped working and none of the solutions offered here helped. I called customer service. After waiting on hold for nearly30 minutes I was told that I need to purchase the product before they can help me. I told the man that I would not purchase a broken product. I told him that if he could solve the issue I would buy it. He transfered me. Again on hold for about 20 minutes. This man said since Im not a customer no help. Today I uninstalled and purchased the product and renistalled. Same problem with the sync feature. Argh. As I type this, I am on hold with customer service in India or Pakistan. If this is not resolved tonite, I am requesting a full refund on this POS product..

Bob,
Thanks for your reply, but I uninstalled PSE and asked for a refund. My photos would not sync up with photoshop.com. I hope you're having better luck with your copy. I wanted this to work so much. When trying to sync pictures up to photoshop.com mine would not get past "initializing" and then it would quit. None of the other posters had a similar problem. I installed my own memory, new CPU, new video card and better CD rom drive, so I know my way around the computer. There are just too many bugs in PSE and my computer ran very slow. Last night, I installed Paint Shop Pro X3 and system is running much faster. So far no problems. I will try it out for 30 days to see if it's better.
If Adobe would have helped me with my problem, I would have kept it. Instead they bounced me around to different people that could not help. To anyone who is looking for a refund...It took over 40 minutes to get my refund processed! I must have wasted over 15 hours on this.

Anyone from Adobe care about customer service?

Want to buy CS6. Downloaded trial version but having issues with windows 7 home edition. Posted on Adobe Help Forums....no replies. Called Customer Service....was promised a call back; never received one. Considering moving to another product from an Adobe competitor. Anyone from Adobe reading these posts? Anyone from Adobe really care? Sad!

Hi and thanks for your comprehensive reply. I will try to answer all your questions. Just to back up a bit, I have tried many different things to get Audition 3.01 to work on my laptop. When I exhausetd all i could think of , I downloaded CS6 hoping that would give me better results. In the end, the two applications behaved exactly the same, ie inability to record in multi-track. Most of the tests I did, which I describe here were done on AA3.01. If they did not resolve the problem there, I am doubtful they are the cause of CS6 not working.
I have not tried playback only when selecting the TASCAM i/face. However, I can indeed select either the internal sound card on the laptop or the TASCAM in the HW Preferences. If I use the internal card, everything works except I cannot do multi-track recording of course. However, I can import a session and do everything with it. As for clock, I have tried toggling it between AUTOMATIC and INTERNAL in the TASCAM control panel, no difference (on AA3.01).I don't know if there is another place where this is controlled other than the TASCAM control panel. As for "device class" indeed I could only get CS6 to show the 16 channels of my TASCAM if I select ASIO. I did not check the "release ASIO in the background" box
In summary
1. AA3.01 Works well with an old PC runing windows XP 32 bit
2. AA3.01 installs and runs on a HP Pavillion laptop, i3 processor 8 Gig RAM, windows 7 HOME EDITION 64bit. If using the internal sound card, I could use AA3.01 for everything except multi-track recording
3. On the HP laptop, I can switch between internal card and TASCAM in HW preferences. I can arm one or up to 14 channels for recording. As soon as I hit record, about 1 sec of lead is highlighted in the tracks that are armed, but then everything stops. No crashing, no errors. If I delete the tracks I can continue working on other things.
4. After exhausting everything I could, I installed Audition CS6 on the same HP laptop. Exactly the same issues with recording appear.
5. I installed Audition CS6 on another laptop, a IBM Lenovo, i5 4Gig RAM windows 64 bit Professional. Absolutely no issues and everything works fine. Problem is, the Lenovo is a work laptop otherwise I would just use that and forget the rest
I will check about the playback when I get back from the office. However if memory serves me right, I believe I was able to use EDIT mode and still playback WAV files. Will confirm that later tonight
thanks
Tony

Discover Bluetooth LE Device and its custom service with uuid and its characteristics

Hello Team,
I have a requirement for developing a library in C# which can be used in any windows app (Metro or Non Metro) apps to discover Bluetooth LE devices which are advertising a custom service with uuid and pair and find all the characteristics of the service
and send parameters and receive response.
I have tried 32feet.NET library which everyone talks about but realized it doesn't support Bluetooth LE devices. Is there any way I can do that? Or do I have write C# wrapper to use winsock2.2 library to call native code to access Bluetooth stack?
Please suggest. We have been able to achieve this requirement in Mac OSX by using their core Bluetooth framework.

Hello Priyanku,
>>Is there any way I can do that?
As far as I know, there is not such API that you can use to enumerate all services belonging to a Bluetooth LE device, nor all characteristics belonging to a service.
>>Or do I have write C# wrapper to use winsock2.2 library to call native code to access Bluetooth stack?
I suggest that you could try it.
Regards.

Verizon has lost touch with CUSTOMER SERVICE

I have been with Verizon for almost 18 years. They don't give a ****. I have been trying to upgrade my phone since it broke and have gotten nothing but the run around. My first experience was asking why I had to pay an upgrade fee ( $30) for a $99 phone and the chat rep explained that they wanted to keep the cost of the phone down...that makes total sense???? OK reconciled to the COST OF THE PHONE BEING $30 MORE...I will pay. Nope, had trouble with my address because my mailing zip is different from my home zip...has been for the last 18 years. OK called- problem fixed no worries. Your phone will be delivered in 2-3 days. "Why not overnight?" "You have to pay extra." "It says it is free." "That's online" "I tried to order online, you just confirmed YOUR SYSTEM's PROBLEM. I should be eligible for online." "I will have to start a trouble ticket. It could take 24 to 72 hours to resolve." "Start it."

Postpaid carriers charge an upgrade fee, and although I disagree with it due to the fact I'm agreeing to keep your service for another 24-months, it's still charged. They're saying it's offsetting the cost of activating the new device. I can assure you, it doesn't cost the company a dime to do an ESN change.
That said, representatives are at a loss sometimes, and don't have the access to make the required changes. That takes some time.

Lenovo has the WORST Support/Customer Service In the Computer Industry

I have been searching and reviewing computers to buy. Came across the K430 but after reading horror stories about Video Card Replacement, Power Supplies and Turbo Switch not working, I decided to call support and seek advise or a simple opinion.
The Support Specialist shockingly informed me that she did not know anything about Card Upgrade and recommended that I speak with Sales. Called sales, waited for 30 minutes and was also informed that they know nothing about Video Cards.
This is what kills a company, the fact that it's own employees are distancing themselves from their products is a disgrace.

Has you contacted the seller through its Customer Service?
If that is the case and Customer Service has no idea of what you were given as a Product Key and how to use it, have you considered asking
your question in the seller's forum (PC software section)?
But, I have another idea for you to try first....are you involved in a student teacher purchase with prepaid card? If so, please click on the following link
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number-student-teacher.html#card-sub mit-product-code
and go to the section on "I received a prepaid card, and I need help". In that section go to "2" which is for
"Submitting my product code and proof of eligibility to Adobe". You will notice there is a link to click on that
is related to country. Make the appropriate choice and see if that solves the problem. You should see
Visit the page listed on the back of your prepaid card to submit your code and proof.

For customers outside North America, submit through your region's customer portal below:
Europe, Middle East, Africa | Germany | France | Spain | Italy | Netherlands | Czech Republic | Poland | Asia/Pacific | Korea
Verification can take anywhere from 2 to 30 days to validate.
If the above does not apply to you, then I would explore the seller forum for answers if you cannot get them from Adobe Chat or the seller's
Customer Service. Getting your money back from the seller should be tried as soon as possible if you find no solution.
Thank you.

Is it me, or is Adobe Customer Service really bad?

I've been working on a project, which has a deadline for tomorrow (Monday).
Sod's law - I go to open the sequence this morning and it won't open... and neither will any of the other back-up versions I saved (which were all working fine when I left it last night).
So I contact Adobe online chat customer service and talk to a robot for a few minutes - who's obviously reading from a script of annoying/obvious/over polite answers - only to be told they cannot help. I need to recontact them on Monday.
Not much help at all then - thanks for that Adode.

Hi Ann,
Thanks for your reply - I'll certainly try that tip next time I encounter the problem.
Thankfully, it seems to have solved itself - which is a bit of a mystery!?
I went to cool off and have a coffee - when I came back I tried again - for some reason the sequence opened. All very strange.
This, along with a couple of other strange occurrences is leading me to believe the PP has a few bugs.
Cheers.

I am a customer Verizon customer of over ten years...I am notgettingany assistance from the customer service department. Since September I am being charged for a Samsung phone that I returned based on the process that verizon has set.return the defective

turn my phone to send Verizon wireless and those instead of the stuff found. I'm not in charge $600 for the for the phone. I'll talk to multiple customer service reps and nothing has really been done about anything other then we'll keep looking or so for stretching it out. since September I've been dealing with thison a month-to-month basis they cut my services they reinstate me and tell me that they're going to knock off the reconnection charge as I have four lines. Unfortunately my main reason for this phone is my work emails which I need to do because I do work and to contact my mother who is 85 years old and I'm the sole caregiver. I don't know what else to do. I have spoken to a supervisor by the name of William or Will oats in that he said he was going to look into it and was going to help me out. Never heard from him again- just original email to quiet me down. I've been sending him emails just about every day trying to make sure that I get my message across. Seems like Verizon Wireless really doesn't care about the long-term customers. Looking forward to hearing from someone that can help me with my plight.process is faulty for returns. You don't accept them in the stores because as one customer service rep stated you can't get your own employees to send the devices back. Now the responsibilities is on the customer the paying customer the one that keeps you alive. And it's not fair that I there's no way I can prove that I put it in the mailbox. So what are my next stepswhat is it that I need to do to clear up this charge of $600. It's about economy as $600 to me at this very point it's a lot of money. I've been your customer for 10 years I've got four lines I've given will my mothers telephone number home number..number but now she's got to sit by the phone to make sure that she picks up all the calls. And nobody can hear what I have to sayand nobody has been able throughout all these months and check your notes check your notes to see how many times I've called how many time you cut my services how many times you reinstated me and how many times that I spent an hour and a half to two hours on the phone going through this process. I think the stress level is to know thqt I did exactly what you asked...I am now paying the price for your faulty process I'm all I'm asking is review my account tell me what I did wrong I follow your procedure so I don't understand....to top it off...my wife hasa per diem job...and she too is affected by loosing out on work leads...
as you can see, the cel is no longer a commodity. It's a way of life.
PLease se call me at -----just remembered....I don't have a service line.

I have a similar problem with my fathers service, it wasns't $600 but what is rightfully your money, you deserve it back, I wrote this complaint on the Consumer Affairs website:
In August 2014, my son went to Target to get a new cell phone and was told his Unlimited Data would still be on his plan (he shared a line on his grandfathers account). Well it turned out that Target messed it up and my son immediately called Verizon to get it taken care of but they were not able to do anything about the lost unlimited data but the customer service rep did try to find the best offer for him. In the mean time Verizon was suppose to send him a new cell phone, they never sent it and he was without a phone so he took his business to another cell provider. Verizon DID charge him for the new service that they had spoke about. So when the new bill (Sept) came, the service he never used was on the bill and when we called to inquire about it we spoke to a Judy and told us we would be receiving a credit of the amount that was paid. Well, we got the next months bill (Oct) and still no credit, so called them again and spoke to a Nadine ** . She looked into the account and saw the amount that was paid and said she would submit it again for a credit and she would get back to me in 2 days, no call back.
The next bill (Nov) came and no credit again, call again but didn't get the girls name and she put me on hold to look over the previous conversations. She said she sees in the records about the credit and said it takes a while to get it thru the supervisor authorization and she would put it in as a "rush priority". On Dec. 5th my dad's cell was turned off, so I call yet again to Verizon, and explain the whole story to them again. This girl explained to me that the request was not put in correctly and that she would submit it right this time, they even turned the cell back on for him.
So here we are today, Dec. 30, 2014, I get the bill...NO CREDIT, call up and get a gentleman in billing, explain this whole thing again and he transferred me over to customer service where I spoke to a Jordan and yet again told him the story. By this time I was fuming, 3 almost 4 months of calling for this credit and he looks into the account and tells me there is nothing that states there is a credit so all the other customer service reps see it but now it is gone. He said he can only issue me a $25 credit to the bill, not even close to what the bill was that I paid. At this point I wanted to speak to a Supervisor and even that was a problem.
He did call me back after my phone died. He put me on hold again to speak to a supervisor himself and said that he can only offer me $100 credit for all my troubles for the past few months. I took the $100 credit because Jordan said if I spoke to the supervisor, the $100 credit might not be an offer anymore so it was either take it or leave it. Now where I stand, they get away with NOT giving the credit due to customers. I am done with Verizon.
today being March 12, 2015, he FINALLY got the said $100 credit...but because of their delay, he service was shut off and I refuse to pay the reconnection fee due to their neglect of a customer of over ten years. My father's service will NO longer be with a place that has NO VALUE in customer service....Verizon robs their customers anyway they can.

If I cannot get help here is there a customer service centre I can contact?

Got a major problem with CS3 (original) now not working after installing new HD. Asking me to upgrade which it won't let me do and says I have a 30 day trial!! What the? Tried phoning Adobe and CS issues not supported on the phone. So where do I go for help? Not being able to contact anyone from Adobe is not customer service and there is no info on this topic anywhere. Please can anyone help?

Thanks Ned but I still have the problem. This is what happened - My iMac needed a new Hard Drive so had this replaced by licensed Apple repairer. All software was lost and was told to reinstall CS3 which I did successfully. I have the original CD's. Serial number was accepted. When I opened up Illustrator, Photoshop or indesign I get a message saying I am trying to upgrade (which I am not) and that I need to choose the version premium 1 or 2 or standard 1 or 2. I chose standard 1 which is what I have. I am then asked to put serial number in again then hit enter button. It comes up with an "x" saying I cannot access or upgrade. I then can't go forward or do anything except click back button or quit which closes the application. It then says I am on a trial period and it's counting down. My serial number is visible and has a tick next to it and it keeps asking me to upgrade. Really frustrating. Do I need to deactivate CS from this computer then reinstall maybe?? Not sure how to do this.

Itunes disabled, no gift certificate and What customer service?

Has anyone experienced this?
First of all I purchased a gift certificate that my friend couldn't use and they still charged me for it.
Then they don't respond to my concerns about the gift certificate but give me canned messages about how they're "looking into it". It's been a month now by the way, and I've got to pay my credit card. I don't know about paying for a gift certificate that can't be used.
Now, not only am I being ignored, but my account with itunes has been disabled. Call me paranoid, but being disabled feels rather vindictive on their part.
What do you all think about the customer service? Is our only option going through the email system? I tried calling and the messages just send me to the websites and hangs up on me.
Also, customer service really doesn't respond very much. I've recieved maybe two canned messages from them through this month long process and no real answers. And believe me, I've sent them a lot of emails. Any advice?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Why can't your friend use the Gift Certificate?
The below text is from the page http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/gift/
"I would like to cancel my gift:
Because your gift is immediately transmitted to your recipient, we are not able to cancel your gift once your order is placed."
iTS customer service is web access only - there is no phone number.
Are you using the correct web page to submit your problem? You can look at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/ and see which option is best for you.

I would like to know how to contact someone in Verizon corporate to file a complaint. I have received the absolute WORST customer service over the last week from this company! The customer service agents promise to call me back and then never do. The la

Verizon Wireless has the absolute worst customer service I have ever received. The in store reps are unprofessional and spend more time texting and taking personal cell phone calls than in helping customers. They are not at all knowledgeable and even state they do not know what they are doing. When you call customer service you get jerked around and passed from one person to the next with no one knowing how to fix my billing issue. I have received NO call backs that were promised and the latest person I spoke to was incredibly rude. Sanita from Sacramento refused to even give me her last name or the last name of her Manager Nick so that I could follow up. I am incredibly disappointed at how poorly I have been treated. I will make sure to tell everyone I know about this experience and as soon as my contract has expired I WILL be leaving Verizon services after 10 years with the company!!

This is a customer to customer forum, so this is not the place.
What is going on with your account? maybe we can help you.

Has adobe outsourced its customer service?
