Thinking of signing up for Verizon wireless

Hi,
I am thinking of siging up for verizon service 2 year aggrement, with one of the many internet resellers.
Quick question: The resellers require me to get the $30 data plan for atleast 181 days. Can I downgrade the plan after that to the $15 one, without extending my contract?
Would really appreciate anj early reply.
Thanks!

Verizon doesn't care if you change your data plan, only the internet reseller. In order to protect their commission, they require you to make no changes to your contract for 181 days. After that, you can make any changes you like to your account as long as you maintain any required data features for the type of phone you have.

What is the number for Verizon Wireless Corporate Customer Service Complaint for CA

My Complaint: I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for approx 20 years. I called customer service to seek an early upgrade for my daughter's phone. She is away in college and her phone is malfunctioning. She is eligible for an upgrade in approx 6 weeks so I did not want to spend the money on a replacement phone when since we were planning on updating to something newer. The customer service rep to me they could not do the early upgrade an to call back in a few weeks. After explaining this was unacceptable (I do not like the idea of a young female being out of state and away from home with no reliable means of communication), she places me on hold to later return with the only offer of I must purchase a new device through her ( over the phone) which will be shipped to me, the phone was priced $100.00 more than the online price (they will not price match), plus i must pay $30.00 upgrade fee, $35.00 activation fee and taxes on the retail price of the phone. I am upset and disappointed with the quality of service provided by Verizon being a 20 year customer. If not for the seriousness and urgency of this matter, i would not have asked for an early upgrade. It is times such as these that you get to see how much of a "valued customer" you really are. I guess you are valued as long as you pay your bill and continually purchase their products. I would like to speak with someone from Verizon's corporate or customer relations department. As of now I am really considering changing my service to a different provider. I have multiple accounts with Verizon and i will canx each after the current contract committment expire (starting with my daughter's phone which expires in 6 weeks) In the meantime I will go purchase her a new phone with someone else and take comfort knowing she will have reliable communication.

I started with them in 1985. It has been wonderful service but very expensive. They seem to operate on day of deposit day of withdrawal. That means that I have no benefits nothing beyond the normal customer if I don't pay my bill they shut me off. That's why I have switch to another provider and I have better service lower cost and better phones. you can't beat other providers I mean it. Please don't expect more from verizon other than a "pay me more money and I'll do what you want" because it's all about money. Read the transcripts from current Verizon employees all over the internet. The company is going down and they're taking customers with them.

I regret even thinking about signing on for another 2 years with verizon

I have been very stable in my relations with my cell phone providers; however, Verizon has proven to be a big let-down. I started my cell phone usage years ago with Cellular One who I had no issues with concerning plan provisions or bills. Altell bought out Cellular One and I had probably a handful of problems. Now that Verizon has bought out my Altell, I have had to call EVERY SINGLE MONTH for some screwed up something. Yes, I had a lot of problems that the solution always seemed to be "to upgrade to a Verizon phone and plan." And apparently I enrolled in the "surprise plan" from Verizon because every time I get a bill "SURPRISE!" I have been duped on one thing and charged outlandishly for it. I had a gentleman from a local provider talk me into recontracting with Verizon to upgrade my phone and he ensured he would personally see to it that I was taken care of and the problems as before would not burden me any longer. Seems, however, that even he can't fix it all. Some of the issues are so deep-seeded in the company's greed for a monopoly, that they are untouchable by the employees that actually care about their customers' satisfaction. I have been billed time and time again for services that I never used and billed extensively for services that were free thru Altell (Verizon omits these differences in their sales spill). I am aware that this message will probably not get posted, so for those who do read this, think strongly about making things right by the customers that otherwise would be loyal and sing your praises. I am the type of person who likes to post positive reinforcements about products and services and it breaks my heart that I have nothing positive to say about this company.

I had a similar experience with Suncom (later bought by AT&T). I was about to start school in Blacksburg, VA. The salesman asked me what the nearest city was and I told him Roanoke. He looked at his list and said yes, they have coverage in Roanoke, so I didn't have to worry about roaming - I would always be on the network.
Well, Blacksburg is 20 minutes from Roanoke and, of course, they did not have coverage in Blacksburg. By the time I found out, it was past the 30 days (and I'm not sure I even knew about the 30 days at the time anyway.) So I wound up having to pay $10 or $20 extra per month for a pool of 200 roaming minutes until they got coverage in Blacksburg about six months later. They further antagonized me when, even though I had it setup for them to bill my credit card automatically, they would send me late notices. It was ridiculous - they could bill my credit card whenever they wanted to so if it was late, it how in the world was it my fault?
After a year of putting up with it and getting angry every time I talked with one of their support people, I switched to nTelos. They were dirt cheap, but their signal quality was horrendous. When out in the middle of nowhere, I was often having to borrow a phone from someone with Verizon.
Finally, I bought a Droid and switched to Verizon and between Verizon wireless and FIOS for my house, I'm paying less than I was all together with my old cable provider + nTelos, so I'm very happy with Verizon.

Fifteen or more years ago, when I went to get my family's first small cell phones (I had a bag phone prior-whadda convenient thing to own!! ) I picked up two clamshell phones on the ATT network. This was back in the days or mucho roaming.
The salesman assured me that ATT's coverage in our area was perfect. He also told me that there was a 50-mile radius around my home address in which there would be no roaming charges.
Well, needless to say, the coverage was awful. Once, my wife was in her car with our daughter. I was in my car about 2 miles away when her car broke down. She couldn't call me. No signal.
So, I called within the 30 days to cancel the contract, as was allowed. The ATT CS rep took down my information, made some token offer to keep my service, then told me how much I owed. There were over $100 in roaming charges. I had never been more than 10 miles from my home address since I'd gotten the phone.
I told her that there should be no roaming charges, I was within the 50 mile radius no-roaming area. She told me that there was no such provision. I complained that I couldn't get a signal almost everywhere I went with the phone. She informed me that ATT had no cell towers in my area, so I shouldn't expect a signal. I asked her why they sold service in an area where they had none, and told her that the salesman had assured me that ATT coverage saturated my area and that there was no roaming within 50-miles of my home.
She informed me that ATT wasn't responsible for what their salesforce said. I informed her I wasn't responsible for the roaming charges, and I wasnt paying a penny of it, so she might as well send me to collections right now. After another 40 minutes of arguing on the phone, she erased the charges. I returned the phones, got two from Verizon and have been with them ever since. (Probably going to be with Sprint come Feb. 2011)
Dishonest behavior isn't limited to one carrier. All have unscrupulous people, and good people, too.

AT Commands for Verizon Wireless USB760?

This cellular modem seems to respond to some AT commands (like AT+CSQ and AT+IPR?), but not other (like AT+CREG?). Novatel Wireless technical support and Verizon Wireless technical support have not responded to my queries regarding what AT commands ARE supported by the modem. I tried AT+CLAC, which is supposed to cause the modem to list all supported AT commands, but, surprise, that command is not supported either. Can anyone point me toward a list of the AT commands that this modem supports?
Thanks,
Don

I know this is an old post but for future researchers, these are the commands to reset the USB devices used with VZAM. These are to used with great care as you could mess up your device if entered incorrectly.
When you open it again it will rebuild the proper files and should resolve this concern.
*Note: The commands must be typed precisely as shown or it can render the device unusable if customer gets it wrong have the exit the window and try again.
1. Open VZ Access Manager
2. Hold down the Control button and type T (this should open the DOS prompt box)
3. Type ATZ and then click the Enter key (it should then respond OK)
4. Type AT$QCMIPP=0 (the last character is a zero) and then press the Enter key (it should then respond OK)
5. Type AT$QCMIPEP=1 and then press the Enter key (it should then respond OK)
6. Type AT$QCMIPGETP and then press the Enter key (device information will be displayed)
7. Close VZ Access Manager
When you open it again it will rebuild the proper files and should resolve this concern.

I just signed up for Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service? I have decided to switch to another service provider. Are there any other cancellation fees on top of the $350 per line fee? Am I stuck with the phone?

I just signed up with Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service. I know about the ETF fee of $350/ per line but are there any other fees I will need to pay for the actual phone.

There are no other fees. You are not stuck with the phone, you can do whatever you would like to do with it.

Charged for the month of service before signing up for Verizon

Hello,
I signed up for service with Verizon on 1/18/2014. I received my first bill and it is charging me for December 19-January 18. I am quite surprised I am being charged for a month where I wasn't even a Verizon customer. Is this common?
I tried chat support to talk to someone and literally all options are 'all agents are busy'. Of course no email address for support. I don't want to have to go into a store to remedy this charge. Thanks for any help!

No they have no right to charge you for service BEFORE you became a customer.
However on you first bill the closing date is the 18th of January 2014
You new service should be billed in advance for January 19, 2014 until February 18, 2014 included in this should be your activation fee and one day of service not one month.
Then there are taxes and verizon fees in that invoice. You bill should show all this line by line, or charge by charge.
Take it into the store and have someone look at it.
Verizon does not bill for days you never had service. They bill in advance. If this is what to come, I would just leave, take them to court and get out fast.
Good Luck
Oh make sure its a verizon corporate store, not a reseller.

Having trouble signing up for verizon monthly wifi why will it not accept my phone number?

We are trying to sign up for monthly wifi with verizon. Why will it not accept our phone number?

That's an issue you will probably need to take up with Verizon customer support.
Regards.

How long does it take for the warehouse to show a phone as recieved so I can pay my final bill? I would like to sign up for Verizon again as I am very unsatisfied with my new company but cannot until this is resolved.

I recently switched to another competitor but would actually like to start from scratch with Verizon but cannot do so because they cannot locate my devices I mailed in to their warehouse. I switched my whole family's accounts, 3 phones and 1 mobile hotspot, to a competitor to get a cheaper rate and unlimited data but I have not been happy with their service and would like to switch back. The problem is when switching the first time I was told by a Verizon chat rep that I could send my Edge devices back in and would get credit for them and stop my edge payments which was not the way I know now it is supposed to work. After a couple of phone calls a supervisor looked at my online chat transcript and realized that I was correct and the rep had told me incorrectly that they would take my edge phones back and give me credit for them and I could close my account by only paying the early termination fees. She sent me two envelopes to send my two edge phones back in and said they would credit on my account and stop the monthly billing for them once they were received. I called a couple of weeks ago after being charged 24.99 for the both of them again for the month after my account was stopped. They said that they had not received my phones and I should have noted the tracking number from the labels the rep sent me so they could track them. I tried to find the tracking numbers but couldn't so I got back on live chat and asked them to resend me the letter from the supervisor rep as well as resending the labels and he said they could that and it should be 7-10 business days. It has now been over two weeks and I have not received the resent letter or labels so I cannot give them the tracking number to prove I sent my phones back to them. I have also researched the facility I was asked to send these phones back to and it seems this is a pretty common Verizon trick of making you prove you sent the phones and not giving you any access to the tracking numbers. I just want to pay my ETF's and close out my original account so I can start over fresh with Verizon but now I am losing faith in doing that as this is making me wonder if they are the type of company I want to deal with. Please someone who may have dealt with this help me restore my faith in Verizon and give me an idea of what to do next.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Is signing up for Verizon Selects worth it and if so are there any additional charges?

Got an email saying I have points to use, but I don't want to sign up something and end up having extra charges or something stupid.

You are overpaying now by $10 on each smartphone. There is an off contract month to month discount on smartphones on More Everything plan.
If you upgrade, you are no longer eligible for the discount, so you price will be the same you are paying now $40 for each smartphone.

Ipad 3 Temp Fix for Verizon Wireless 3G Connection Issues

Not sure why there is a 3G issues. I tried different iPads, SIM cards and Mobile numbers. All have the same issue. They only thing that fixes it is to turn off 4G. Then the 3G works without an issue. Hopefully Apple will see this and push out an update soon!
This is a iPad 3 running on Verizon Wireless

Yes i have this problem too in my Ipad 1 IOS 5.0.1 but this problem start when i update the IOS 4.3.3 for 4.3.5

Why does Verizon try to force me to agree to Verizon Selects in order to sign up for Verizon Rewards?

When I try to claim my points, it won't move forward until I agree to Verizon Selects, to which I will never, ever agree. How do you get your points without giving up any semblance of privacy?

Because that's how it works. No such thing as a free lunch. If you don't agree you don't get your points.

Trouble with signing up for new service.

Hello, I have a problem that I hope you can help with. Tuesday I went online to see if I qualified for your service with no deposit(I did). Unfortunately, I never saw a confirmation notice of approval and I went a few steps too far and actually purchased the phones from you. This wasn't what I intended and I called to cancel. That went ok, but the items had already shipped. I was informed by customer service to just refuse the items and Fedex will send the phone package back.
Wednesday, I never got the shipment and called Fedex to find out why. Apparently you had requested it get returned and that is what they are doing. As of last night it was en route back to you.
Thinking everything with that was taken care of, I decided to still sign up for Verizon Wireless, but wanted to go through Best Buy for the Gold and Blue Galaxy s5's. When I get there I am informed that I already have an account, yet there is no phone number associated with it. So the Best Buy rep has no idea how to proceed, as they cannot set up new service since it appears I already have an account. Nor could they do a work around and upgrade as I had no number.
While I was at the store I tried calling customer service and they were very rude and said they had to have the phones that I ordered back on their way to them. I said they were and told them that I could look on the fedex site and see that they were en route. But the customer service rep was unwilling to help any further.
I was wanting to move over to Verizon as I've heard the service and support was much better than ATT. But I am pretty tired of this mess. I am reaching out to you via facebook and this forum to see what my options are. I was wanting to get these phones by this weekend as the specials that Best Buy were offering may go away.
Please let me know what can be done.

nightinffale78-
Help has arrived! First I do want to apologize for the experience you had to go through while talking to one of our reps over the phone. That is not the way we do business and reassure you we are not trained that way. I want to make sure you are able to sign up for service and become part of the Verizon Wireless family. To add the new lines of service we would have to talk to our Telesales department at 800-256-4646 have you has the opportunity to give them a call? Please send me a Private Message to see other options we might have to get these phones out. I just followed you, please accept and follow back to send me a Private Message.

Why is Verizon charging me monthly for my cellular iPad access when I signed up for just one month? Who do I contact?

I signed up for Verizon's month to month plan for cellular access and just discovered they are automatically renewing my monthly charges without my permission. Who and how can I contact Verizon to stop this and refund one month of unused cellular access? Please advise.

Well then I stand corrected. I bought my iPad with a Verizon MIFI2200 WiFi hotspot directly from Verizon Wireless when they were running a promo last October. Verizon had just started selling the iPad and they came out with this deal and I took advantage of the offer. My plan is also a month to month access plan, but as far as I know, you still have to contact Verizon to stop the service. I know with my plan, unless I specifically cancel the plan, it carries over to the next month. The advantage to this plan is that there was no contract to sign and I can cancel at anytime without any early termination fee. However, I still have to cancel the service if I don't want it to continue.
The bottom line is that the plan will continue month to month - there is just no contract to hold you to a two year agreement. You may have misunderstood or maybe you got bad information from the Apple rep, but what Verizon is doing is not being done without your permission - AFAIK. That is how month to month plans work.
If you really feel that the Apple rep misrepresented this to you, then why don't you go back to him/the store - whatever and plead your case with him/her/the store?

Very hesitant to do Verizon Wireless iPhone 6 Trade-In Program

On September 28, 2014 I ordered an iPhone 6 for my wife and signed up for the iPhone 6 Trade-In Promotion. My wife's iPhone 4 was "appraised" for $200 online and Verizon mailed the extremely flimsy tiny envelope for my wife to mail her iPhone 4 to Verizon for her "$200" Electronic Gift Card. First of all, the tiny little envelope is so flimsy and contains very little bubble wrap. It offers very little protection and I can easily see the screen breaking during the mailing process when it is such a poor envelope. In addition, there is no tracking information whatsoever on the envelope. If the iPhone 4 gets lost or broken, adios $200. My wife's iPhone 4 is in Excellent Pristine condition but I am very hesitant for my wife to take part in this program because of all of the horror stories I have been reading on the Verizon forums (please see links attached below) or on the internet. People who took part in the program are reporting of lost or broken phones but they were in perfect condtion when they were mailed. Furthermore, there are stories of "Find My Phone" not being turned off even when people have photos of the process. People have even taken photos or videos of the condition of their phone upon mailing to Verizon but this doesn't seem to help.
At this point I am probably going to try to sell my wife's iPhone 4 on eBay because we can't take the risk of getting $20 or less instead of the $200. I am surprised more of these stories haven't gotten to the mainstream press. It would be good if some news station like CBS or NBC would cover the mounting complaints. I am thinking of writing an email to some head honcho at Verizon and venting my concern to tell him why us 20+ year Verizon customers probably won't take part in the program.

This is a photo of the very flimsy envelope that Verizon Wireless provides to ship the iPhone which is being traded in to Verizon. There is very little Bubble Wrap inside this VERY FLIMSY TINY envelope. No wonder iPhones are lost or being delivered broken to Verizon.
I might re-consider taking part in this iPhone Trade-In program if a Verizon Customer Representative monitoring this board reaches out to a manager at my local Verizon Wireless Store in Trumbull, CT and allows me to bring in the iPhone for an immediate $200 credit since my wife has already bought the iPhone 6. With the flimsy envelope which has no tracking I am afraid of the consequences it will bring if I use it. I am not about to spend countless hours with Customer Reps on the phone if I use the envelope and I don't get the $200 credit because the phone gets damaged in the mail or lost by Verizon. This is Verizon's chance to reach out to me so they don't lose me as customer. Let them make the effort to allow me to do this rather than me having to get the run around thru phone calls, being put on hold, and unaswered emails.
I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years. For the last several years my family of 4 has been paying close to $250 per month for Verizon Wireless services. I am going to strongly consider switching to AT&T after our contracts expire. AT&T has a Bring Your Own Device montly plan which would cost us only $160 per month vs. $237 per month we are paying Verizon. This potential $77 per month savings and Verizon's iPhone Trade-In joke of a program is what will push us over the edge to switch.
