How do I contact corporate about Verizon Wireless store scamming me?

Hi all,
On September 8th, I signed up for a MiFi 2-year contract that came along with a free Jetpack device. I specifically told the salesman to tell me about all of the charges in advance, so I wouldn't be surprised when the bill came. He told me it was $80 per month for the plan, plus $18 for tax on the device. Nothing else was mentioned.
I then sign up on the Verizon website and download my Equipment Receipt and my 1st Bill Estimate. Boy was I shocked! They were charging me $260.66, for what I'm still not sure, because NOTHING ADDED UP. It would seem that Verizon cannot even perform simple addition. I also noticed that the receipt said the following (I'll paraphrase):
1. I had 14 days to get out of this mess.
2. They expect me to pay a restocking fee of $35 just for returning their "free" device.
3. I was only entitled to a credit for the activation fee if I cancelled my service within 3 days of signing up.
This was a red flag to me, having wasted my valuable time previously with other irresponsible credit card companies. So I went into the same Verizon Wireless store where I signed up and told them I wanted to return the device and cancel my plan on September 11th, which would entitle me, according to them, to be credited back for the activation fee; the estimated bill says this amount is $35.
They said they would charge me the $35 restocking fee. I told them I thought that was unfair for the following reasons:
1. The device was free;
2. I never agreed to that when I signed up. They just printed it on the receipt after I signed up. The next thing you know, they'll tell me I owe them my next child. How can they just make stuff up after the fact?
So I refused to pay and told them (the manager was there along with 2 other salespeople) I was returning the device. They refused to give me a return receipt, so I left the device there and walked out, filming the whole thing (just me and the device).
In response, the manager said she was going to charge me for everything as if I never came into the store and returned the device.
Now it's September 13th and I received a call from another salesperson at the same store (on Topanga Blvd. in Woodland Hills, CA) saying I left my equipment there and would I like to come in and pick it up or would I like it mailed to me. I explained the situation to him and he STILL INSISTED ON MAILING BACK THE DEVICE TO ME, unless I agreed to come into the store and let them process the return/cancellation the way they wanted, which would mean (according to this salesperson) that not only would they charge me the $35 restocking fee, BUT THEY WOULD ALSO CHARGE ME ANOTHER $35 AS IF I JUST RETURNED THE DEVICE TODAY.
I asked for his supervisor and was told she's not there today. I then asked for the contact info for someone higher up in the chain of command, and was refused.
This is such a scam! I feel sure that someone higher up would understand that they will lose me (and as many people as I can tell this to) as a potential customer over chump change, which is just silly.
I really don't know if the problem is just this store or all of Verizon, but if I can't get this resolved in the next hour or so through this forum (hello, any Verizon reps out there?) I'll just make sure they can never take any more of my money by never considering using Verizon again, both for personal use and at work (I'm in IT and make those types of decisions at work), and convincing as many people as I can not to use them also.
The ball's in your court, Verizon. What will you do?

    Thanks for reaching out to us via the community forum, zeroimpedance. We did have to remove the receipts that you attached since they contained your personal information.
I will reach out to you via Direct Message in order to get more details from you.
I'm pretty sure the 1st bill had the charges that include this month as well as a month in advance as well as the activation fee.
I would recommend going back to the store in order to ensure the service is canceled if that is what you desire. I also recommend you getting a receipt that indicates the service was canceled. Of course, we don't want you to leave so I would prefer to help with the understanding of the bill.

  • How to Handle NET, Return Phone - Verizon Wireless Store vs. Wireless Zone

    Background:
    My wife needed a new phone and we had available a NET credit on the her number for a new phone we were currently on a Month-to-Month since the original contract was up. She chose a Samsung Reality phone. We dropped one line of the Family plan (from 4 to 3 lines) because we would now be paying 9.99 monthly for data plan required on the new line and the secondary line wasn't being used anyway. New 1400 Family plan + 9.99 monthly data plan is activated with corporate discount.
    My wife has been using the Reality and doesn't like the touch wizard features and the way the phone answers the call as she's pulling it out of her pocket (among other things). We are within 20 days of the original purchase/upgrade and went back to the VZ store to return for an LG Chocolate Touch - which my wife like's better. It was a Friday - clerk says no phones in stock and if he orders it will be Tues/Wed before he can get the phone. We decide to come back the next week (Tues). Clerk let's us know the LG Chocolate is not available within 500 mile radius (he thinks it's being discontinued). My wife does not like the other available phones and/or the 29.99 data plan requirements on some phones. Now What!
    Her brother contacts his preferred provider - Wireless Zone. They say they have the LG Chocolate in-stock and can make the switch.
    Now I'm concerned about the return of the original upgrade phone to VZ store and then being able to get the NET discount on the LG Chocolate (after getting credit from VZ store - $35 service charge).
    Can the authorized reseller apply a NET if the original upgrade phone is returned and roll the contract on the corporate discount?
    Thanks for any help!

    That would depend on the policies of the authorized reseller. Some honor the NE2, some do not. When you use an authorized reseller, you are actually signing TWO contracts, and Verizon's is secondary to the reseller's - read everything carefully so you know what the rules are and what your options are.

  • I want to run down how dissatisfied I currently am with Verizon Wireless

    I want to run down how dissatisfied I currently am with Verizon Wireless; this stated with the pre-order of the iPhones on Friday I like many other customers received the "ecdp" error on the web site and it took 45 minutes to actually be able to place the order.  I got the order in and had a 09/19/2014 ship date; spoke with a few Customer Service Reps in various areas such as 611, on many of the 800 numbers available, Internet Orders (including a Supervisor) and even a Social Media Service Rep all who have confirmed this ship date to be accurate. 
    Well today (09/17/2014) I check the Pre-Order Status page and my date has been changed to 10/14/2014 so I call in to speak to Internet Orders and the Rep advises me that yes my date was pushed back but no reason is supplied, I asked to speak to a Supervisor and was transferred to Howard, Operator # 2431235, who stated that yes the prior rep was accurate and that there was no reason available as to why my ship date changed.  Howard continues by stating that as per upper management, Apple reported to Verizon that no iPhone 6+'s would be available at launch for Verizon to ship and that this has been common knowledge, within the company, that the 6+'s were not shipping until 10/14/2014, and that prior Verizon employee's to include supervisors were misinforming me of my shipping date.  Howard continued to state that the reason I got the "ecdp" error was because of the company that I work for as Verizon offers a discount so the 'ecdp" error is not something Verizon is currently addressing.  Howard then tells me not to worry that with the 10/14 date is a guaranteed delivery date and not to worry, if the phones come in early the order will be filled, I at this point ask Howard to note my account with our conversation to include the fact that he stated the 10/14 was a guaranteed date, at this point he states that while he is telling me this he will not put it in writing as at that point Verizon would be obligated to meet that date at minimum and he was not willing to put his position on the line if the phone is not shipped by that date(this can be confirmed by reviewing the recording of the call as I was advised that I was on a recorded line).  I then asked to speak to his supervisor and was told his supervisor went home for the day and that he was the highest level supervisor on at this time.  When I then asked for his supervisors contact information to lodge a complaint he said that I would need to call back in on 611 from my handset as Customer Service handles complaints not supervisors. 
    I did call back and speak with a Representative on 611 who tried to assist but was not able to do much, this rep took my information and is having their supervisor call me to try addressing the way Howard handled the call however this has not occurred at the time of this writing.  I did tell this rep that I was honestly considering going to another carrier, (I have been with Verizon 7-8 years and currently have 10 lines of service on my account) I know I will not get the iPhone 6+ on launch day with another carrier which was not the driving factor but rather the way Howard dealt with the situation and the lack of respect that as a customer of Verizon I have always got from other representatives, as you know it takes one person to sour someone on a whole company, Howard even stated that if I want to go to another carrier that was fine with him.  However, the Customer Service Rep I spoke with after Howard (I wish I could remember his name) calmed me down not to leave Verizon but did agree that a complaint needed to be filed, personally I would like to file it directly with an Associate Vice President or higher but do understand that there is a “Chain of Command” that needs to be filed
    Let this be a warning to anyone who call internet sale and gets Howard, operator #2431235, I would suggest you immediately request a different supervisor that will treat you with respect.  As stated above Howard will tell you that the iPhone 6+ was not and has never been available to ship on launch day due to Apple purposely not providing enough units to meet the demand and that Verizon knew this while taking our pre-orders. 

    I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

  • Verizon Wireless Store's in disguise - DECEITFUL

    Be warned that just because you walk into a store that says clearly VERIZON WIRELESS across the top of it, they may not be an actual Verizon store but merely a sub-store.  This is (and I quote and actual Verizon Wireless employee @ 330 Suemandy Drive, St. Peters, MO 63376) "like walking into a Radio Shack."  The store looks like a legit Verizon Store complete with signage and logos, but they are actually like a 3rd party contractor.  When I went into one a little over a year ago to upgrade my 2nd phone line, I thought I was working legitimately with Verizon.  Come to find out last night at an actual Verizon Wireless store, when I needed to replace said phone, I could not do that through them but  though the actual store I bought it from because they have a separate insurance plan other than Asurion.  (Which now explains why I had to pay and ungodly amount of money when I originally bought the phone.)  I told the legit Verizon rep last night that it is deceitful to walk into a store proclaiming to be Verizon and I feel completely cheated and ripped off.  Also, when you go to these sub stores, they do not inform you if any changes will happen to your account: ie; unlimited text and data is removed when you upgrade.  Do not be fooled like I was.  I have been a very loyal Verizon Wireless Customer since 1997, back when they were Ameritec, and I just can not believe how Verizon treats such customers with a disregard to their long time loyalty and allowing sub-stores to confuse and trick intelligent customers to thinking they are dealing directly with a legit Verizon Wireless store who coincides with Verizon Wireless Corporate policies and contracts.
    Everyone who is a Verizon Customer should be warned.  I didn't know when I walked into a store complete with Verizon logos and signage and even Verizon as the name of the actual store, that I was merely walking into a "Radio Shack".  Smoke and mirrors.

    The premise of deceit is to hide, or make hidden. The store that you went to was a reseller by either the name somewhere in the store, the store literature, the receipts given or by simply asking if "Are you a Verizon Wireless Corporate Store"?
    I know in my area there is only one Verizon Corporate Store. I also know that there are satellite stores of which are not corporate stores. It states who they are in small letters under the big Verizon Wireless Sign. They are called On Call etc.
    I have noticed in Sprint Stores there is no markings under the signs, however they have access to your account as a corporate store from Sprint would have. They are called Next-Gen. again you have to ask.
    It is true the resellers do not have full access to your account, so if you upgrade (upgrading to any subsidized device would make you lose the unlimited data anyway, even at a corporate store) and you paid full price their system access would take away unlimited data simply because they are not a Verizon Corporate Store.
    You can do a search at the Verizon Web portal for corporate stores. So there are other avenues to get the store you actually want. Too late for you right now I understand but for future reference.
    Your anger should not be at Verizon Wireless its self, but at the reseller. They were the ones that deceived you if you want to call it that.
    Good Luck

  • Verizon Wireless stores do not carry Droid X replacement - not happy with the service.

    My Droid x screen went out, I took it back to the Verizon Wireless Store do not carry replacement and they will have to mail a replacement to me, since it is Friday I will not get the phone until Monday or Tuesday. I asked the tech person what do I use in the meantime, he said to use an old phone. The other option was to pay $100 to get a new replacement phone off the shelf. I explained to the tech person that I pay good money for the insurance and they should keep replacement phones in stock.

    I think phone replacement just has to do with availability.  You could always ask to speak to a Manager if they cannot overnight a replacement phone to you.  Even the Manager has limitations on what they can do, but generally they will do everything within their ability to help you.
    I have replaced phones under warranty through Motorola before and once I had one shipped to me from Motorola themselves,  another occasion I had one sent by Asurion.  I was a bit suspicious about the insurance replacement phone and talked to them directly.  I had not been charged my deductible but my insurance did indeed show one claim, so I spoke to the carriers 800 number and had to get it all sorted, they sent me my replacement phone and I sent insurance their phone back.   
    So if you ever get a phone sent by the Insurance company, I'd call and ask them how many claims you have used.
    Hmmmmm..... Food for thought, didnt think of that.
    Thanks for pointing this out.

  • How do I contact corporate?

    Does anyone know how to contact corporate? I have a major complaint. I have been with Verizon almost 7years. I recently did an early edge where I turned in my phone to a local store only to find out it was handled incorrect. I was then charged for the phone and for 2 months went back in forth to try to get corrected.I was told by at least 5 reps who told me it would be resolved. I only received one call back saying it is complete only to find it wasn't. Finally after someone finally did something I was still not issued a credit promised by a rep authorized by their sup. I then called again to be told by a rep that he will not be giving away free money! Really! I have been a loyal customer and don't appreciate  the comment or inconsistent customer service. I need this issue resolved asap!!

    I am in the process of finding that information as well. I to have been a long time customer of Verizion also, and I am not impressed at all with their service. Since having a plan with them and paying an exorbitant amount each month just for two phones. There are some real jack ***** working in the billing department who get their jollies sending out billing threats on Christmas day. I want to find someone as high up the ladder as possible so I can lodge my complaint. I don't have a contract with Verizon for good reason, I have contacted them before about this conduct it will not take much of a push to convince me to go elsewhere for a cheaper better service!!!

  • HOW DO YOU FEEL TOTALLY ABOUT VERIZON SERVICE...PERIOD

    DISAPPOINTED IN THIS HOME CONNECT AND VERIZON SERVICES.  MY FATHER HAS HAD VERIZON SERVICE RESIDENTIAL (LANDLINE) FOR YEARS.  HE DECIDED TO GET A CELL PHONE.  WE WERE (SUCK IN) TALKED IN BY A WIRELESS REPRESENTATIVE PERTAINING THE LANDLINE PHONE FOR A BETTER DEAL UPON PURCHASING THE CELL PHONE.   WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE TO KEEP THE NUMBER TO THE LANDLINE PHONE.  SINCE RECEIVING THE HOME CONNECT....WE HAVE HAD A GREAT DEAL OF BAD EXPERIENCES WITH THE HOME CONNECT TO THE LANDLINE.  WE WENT TO PURCHASE A NEW PHONE FOR THE LANDLINE PHONE.  WE ARE NOT PURCHASING THE HOME CONNECT BOX TOTALLY.  THE CELL PHONE WAS FREE WITH 2 YEAR CONTRACT AND WE ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE (2) SEPARATE LINES.  ONE FOR THE LANDLINE AND THEN ONE FOR THE CELL NUMBER.  IT APPEARS THAT THE REPRESENTATIVES AT VERIZON ARE DENSE ABOUT THIS SITUATION.  THEY DECIDED TO PUT OUR LANDLINE PHONE SERVICE UNDER WIRELESS AFTER WE HAVE BEEN WITH VERIZON RESIDENTIAL WITH THIS SAME NUMBER FOR YEARS.  THEREFORE, WE ALREADY HAD A LINE WITH VERIZON RESIDENTIAL.  HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO PUT US UNDER THE VERIZON WIRELESS WITH THE LANDLINE PHONE AND CELL PHONE BECAUSE OF THE HOME CONNECT.  THE BILL WE HAD WITH VERIZON RESIDENTIAL PERTAINING TO THE SAME LANDLINE PHONE WITH HOME CONNECT WAS PAID.  THEY ARE TELLING US WE HAVE TO PAID TO ACTIVATION FEE SEPARATELY ALTHOUGH WE HAD A LANDLINE WITH VERIZON WIRELESS.  ALSO, THE AMOUNT THEY ARE CHARGING FOR THE VERIZON WIRELESS HOME CONNECT LANDLINE IS NOT UNDERSTANDABLE.  WHY?!?!? BECAUSE WE JUST PAID FOR THE BILL TO THE SAME LANDLINE SERVICE WITH VERIZON WIRELESS.  THEN THEY MISSPELLED OUR LAST NAME FOR THE VERIZON WIRELESS BILL TO WHICH THEY ARE CHARGING FOR THE LANDLINE SERVICE AGAIN  UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT USE FOR THE CELL PHONE.  IN A MONTH TIME VERIZON WANTS US TO PAY ADDITIONAL $100.00 FOR THE LANDLINE SERVICE UNDER THE VERIZON WIRELESS AFTER PAYING BEFORE THE BILL DUE ON JULY 12 2014 WITH VERIZON RESIDENTIAL.  THIS MEANS WE ARE PAYING ALMOST $200.00 FOR THE LANDLINE SERVICE FOR VERIZON WIRELESS AND VERIZON RESIDENTIAL.  THEN THE SERVICE WITH THE VERIZON WIRELESS FOR THE LANDLINE SERVICE USING THE HOME CONNECT BOX IS SAD, PATHETIC AND DISGUSTING.  THE SERVICE IS AS THOUGH THE LANDLINE HOME CONNECT IS BEING USED AS A MOBILE PHONE IN LIEU OF A LANDLINE PHONE.  WE GET RESPONSE ON THE LANDLINE  SUCH AS TEXTING, ETC. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS WITH A CORDED LANDLINE PHONE.  ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THE EXTRA $100.00 FOR THE LANDLINE HOME CONNECT WITH VERIZON WIRELESS AND ALSO WANTS US TO PAY ALMOST $100.00 FOR THE CELL PHONE TO WHICH THE PHONE ITSELF IS FREE!  WE NEVER HAD TO PAY FOR CALLER ID TO BE DISPLAY ON THE LANDLINE PHONE BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF THE VERIZON RESIDENTIAL SERVICE.  WE ONLY ASKED THAT THE SAME SERVICE WE HAD WITH VERIZON RESIDENTIAL.  OH!!!! PLEASE ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN THIS.  WE DISCUSSING THIS SITUATION WITH VERIZON WIRELESS TO WHICH BOTH SERVICE IS (NOW!!!!) UNDER VERIZON WIRELESS UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT NUMBER...IT ALWAYS APPEARS THESE REPRESENTATIVES CAN NEVER, NEVER LOOK AT THE HOME CONNECT LANDLINE ACCOUNT UNDER THE SAME ACCOUNT NUMBER WITH THE CELL PHONE.  OH!!!!! THE TELEPHONES NUMBERS ARE DIFFERENT FOR EACH.  WE CONTINUE TO KEEP THE SAME NUMBER FOR THE LANDLINE HOME CONNECT.  THE REPRESENTATIVES/VERIZON WIRELESS IS CARRYING THE LANDLINE HOME CONNECT AS IF IT IS A MOBILE/CELL PHONE WITH A HOME CONNECT DEVICE.  RIDICULOUS, SAD, PATHETIC AND DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!  THE LANDLINE PHONE IS NOT A MOBILE/CELL PHONE.  THE OPERATIVE WORD IS "LANDLINE" WHICH MEANS A CORDED PHONE WITH ADDITIONAL CORDLESS PHONE.  I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MEANS A CELL PHONE WHICH IS MOBILE.  THEY WANT US TO PAY ADDITIONAL $100.00 FOR THE LANDLINE PHONE WHICH IS NOT MOBILE AND $100.00 FOR THE CELL PHONE.  THE BILL WILL BE NORMALLY UNDER $100.00 FOR BOTH SERVICES.  I DO UNDERSTAND THE ACTIVATION FEE FOR THE CELL PHONE AND EVEN FOR THE LANDLINE SERVICE BUT AGAIN THE BILL WILL BE LESS THAN $200.00 PAYING THESE FEES.  ALSO, THE SERVICE ONLINE TO CHAT IS PATHETIC AS WELL.  WE TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE BILL FOR THE LANDLINE PHONE UNDER VERIZON RESIDENTIAL WILL BE PAID ON JULY 2, 2014 IN THE AMOUNT FOR ALMOST A $100.00.  HOWEVER, VERIZON CONTINUE TO BILL US AFTER PAYING THIS AS IF THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE PAYMENT ON JULY 2, 2014 FOR VERIZON RESIDENTIAL.  WE WERE SENT ANOTHER DEVICE AND RECEIVED ON JULY 17,2014.  WE SENT THE OLD DEVICE BACK ON 7/18/2014.   SOMETIMES WE BELIEVE VERIZON WIRELESS IS MESSING WITH OUR SERVICE ON THE LANDLINE HOME CONNECT.  WE CONTINUE TO GET A CLICKING SOUND BEFORE ANYONE RESPONDS TO OUR HELLO BY THE TIME THE CLICKING STOP THAT PERSON HAS HUNG UP.  WE GET RESPONSES AFTER DIALING A NUMBER ON THE LANDLINE FROM A REPRESENTATIVE TELLING US THE CALL DID NOT GO THROUGH...IT IS PATHETIC AND DISGUSTING.  THE SERVICE SUCKS WITH VERIZON WIRELESS PERTAINING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE, ETC.  THEN WE YOU TRIES TO EXPLAIN...THE REPRESENTATIVE WITH WIRELESS CONTINUE TO SAY WE CAN NOT REVIEW THE SERVICE WITH RESIDENTIAL TO WHICH WE DO NOT HAVE OR PROBABLY DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT ANY LONGER BECAUSE IT IS UNDER TO DIFFERENT NAMES MAINLY BECAUSE VERIZON WIRELESS HAS MISSPELLED.  WE ARE TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER HOWEVER, TO NO AVAIL IT APPEARS THE VERIZON WIRELESS AND VERIZON RESIDENTIAL IS JUST AS BAD OF SERVICE AS WE ARE GETTING WITH THE SERVICE USING THE LANDLINE AT HOME.  THE LANDLINE CAN NOT BE A MOBILE AS THE SAME WAY THE CELL/MOBILE PHONE.  AGAIN, THEY ARE TREATING THE LANDLINE HOME CONNECT AS IF THE PHONE BEING USED IS A CELL PHONE AND IT IS NOT.

    Also...
    3. Because you're no longer with Verizon Residential you will have different billing with Verizon Wireless. That includes an activation fee when you create new lines of service as well as being billed one month in advance. This would reflect on the very first statement you received from Verizon Wireless.
    4. If your cell phone and Home Phone Connect are showing on two different accounts, one line may have been placed on a sub-account. If you wish you can request that the two numbers be consolidated onto one account.
    The next time you post, it would be easier to understand what you wrote if you would not type in all CAPS AND separate your individual concerns into paragraphs.
    Thank You.

  • Who do I contact to get Verizon Wireless to put me on the plan they promised?

    My daughter got talked out of an unlimited account when she got a new phone by a verizon salesperson who told her based on her 3g usage she would never go over 2 GB of Data on a new 4g phone. (Which was totally untrue because with the same usage, she used more bandwidth every month on 4g)  They put her on a 2 GB data plan when they were offering everyone else who had unlimited plans a 6 GB plan. After we called back to question this, the agent agreed that since the 6 GB plan was available at that time that she should have been offered it, and they would take care of it.
    Fast forward several months.....NOT FIXED STILL
    I have spent many hours on the phone  for many months now, with many agents including Mark, Terry, Todd, Vanessa, Tim, Swasi, and Nadia to name a few...who all promised to take care of this. They apologized, gave a credit for the overage that occured one month due to the smaller plan, and said they would get the appropriate department to make the change. The last guy said since he couldn't get us on the 6 GB plan yet, he would put us on the 5GB plan and credit back the $20 difference EVERY MONTH and that the credit would not stop as long as we were on the 5 GB plan. He would then pursue the 6 GB plan. Each time they say call back in a week (so I can talk to a new person and explain it all again for an hour....and not get it fixed again!!!!)
    For a long term customer with 5 lines and a long history, they sure don't make you feel like they care...and they don't make good on their promises as far as I can tell, because we are  still not on the 6 GB plan (that still exists and they still offer to people!!!) and we are no longer getting the $20 credit for the 5 GB plan they put us on in the meantime with a promise of no fee increase. Now I'm told the request for the 6 GB was rejected and that verizon does not plan to do anything or credit any money as promised.  "Sorry, we can't put you on that plan". (even though several agents and supervisors approved it and said they would take care of it)  This is SOOOO incredibly frustrating. I HATE being lied to and I hate it when a company does not do as they say they will. This is very poor customer service.
    Up until now, I was happy with verizon, their service, and the phones, but now I am looking at when my plans expire so that if they can't make good on their promise I will plan to  move my 5 phones and my 2 parents and  2 inlaws and the rest of the family's cell service to AT&T. They offer a larger corporate discount  and rollover minutes too.

    When I search for MatthewS_VZW on Twitter, I get a message that there is no such user. I only see Matthew44vzw and matthewvzw. Are either of those you?
    Since this is a verizon wireless forum, I presume that the VZW rep has access to the email used. Other companies work this way on forums like this. If you do have access, feel free to email me, if not, please give me the correct twitter handle and I will follow and DM you. I am getting pretty frustrated with all this.

  • How do I contact someone about an account issue

    I don't need product support.  I need support with my account.
    I received an email stating:
    "Recently, there's been activity in your AppIe account that seems unusual compared to your normal account activities. Please log in to AppIe to confirm your identity and update card information. We're concerned that someone is using your AppIe account without your knowledge.

    It tells me click on a link in the email.
    I have not changed anything on my account, so if something really changed, there is a problem.
    However, I'm reluctant to click on the link, thinking it might be a phishing scheme or cause some problem with my computer.
    On the Apple site, I cannot find one link to contact support having to do with problems with an account.
    Does anyone know if the email is legit?  If not, who can I inform about this?  If it is legit, how can I contact support without clicking on the link in the email?
    II can't even find a community that deals with issues like this o send this to.

  • Contacting corporate about sleazy business practices

    Verizon (and possibly other phone companies) make their bills so complicated that it is almost impossible to understand or protest why they keep raising their charges.  I recently upgraded to a smart phone and was told the charge would be $160 monthly with taxes and fees.  I got a bill for the first month for $229.75!   Their well trained in double speak customer service people tried to "explain" why this extortion occurred and after over an hour with 3 dfferent reps I finally got one to give me the corporate phone number and address.  It is 908 559-2001 CEO name is Daniel S. Mead and his address is 1 Verizon Way Basking Ridge, New Jersey 07920.  The fax for corporate is 800 261-6872.  Hope some of you post this on some social forums to save the rest of us frustrated customers (who pay these execs inflated salaries btw) some time.

    I had to down grade to a couple of flip phone . I was interested in going back and up grading to my I 5 I turned in my I phones and purchased a sansung convoy at full price and another flip phone. I wanted to upgrade back to my I phones and they stated I would need to pay full price. and had to wait for two year agreement which I  have had since I paid full price for my phone. so unless you can solve this problem I will go with sprint and get two free I phone and a home phone at a cheaper price than I was paying for your service. I don't understand why the reason for the extention for another two years before upgrade but if you cannot meet sprint offer I will cancel even if I have to pay cancelation fee thks

  • Where do I complain about a Verizon Wireless Store?

    I recently purchased a new ipad mini with retina display, 16g,  for my family for Christmas.  I purchased the ipad at the full retail price, instead of adding a line and getting the priced reduced by $100 since I had a line to put it on.  He charged me $529.00, which is the correct price.  I got home, and noticed the ios was still ios 6 and the screen didn't seem as sharp as my iphone 5s.  I went back the next day and verified he sold me a mini with retina, and he assured me he did.
    I was setting the ipad up with apps for my boys, and still didn't feel like the ipad screen was quite sharp enough or fast enough.  I did a little research and read the model number is printed on the back cover.  I compared the model on my ipad to the model numbers posted on Apple's website, and sure enough he sold me the original ipad mini at the cost of the ipad with retina, a $100 difference!!  I'm beyond irate since I told him when I bought the ipad I wanted the retina, and I went back the next day to verify it.  More than my anger, is this guy embezzling the $100 difference?  I'm going back tomorrow to return the ipad and go to a different Verizon store, but this guy is either incredibly stupid and doesn't listen, or is pocketing some money on the side.  I'm debating filing a police report.  Any suggestions?

    The store employee doesn't get enriched by a $100 mistake, the company does. I always go to the Apple store.
    When you buy a device the UPC code is scanned. If the item scans as a regular ipad it will show same on the receipt.
    So I doubt it was intentional. You can purchase all these iPads in many retail stores. You don't need to go to verizon wireless for them. Remember unless you do a swap, there will be a restocking fee of $35
    Good Luck
