Verizon does not care one bit about the 5% heavy user base, They want you GONE!

In making several calls and asking pretty much the same questions to different people at Verizon Customer Service, I have come to a few surprising conclusions (well sorry, not surprising).
1.)  An opperator pretty much told me they do have information NOW about what is going to be happening with the new plans, but has been instructed to NOT release it.  In other words, they don't want you to know the truth about what's going to go down, until it's too late.
2.)  Most of the opperators I talked to kept saying the same things, "Well sir even those you use around 6-8 gigs of data a month, 95% of our user base does not".  See this is where I get mad.  And I replyed with, "Well I really don't care what OTHER people are using for data, that is there business and there needs, if your plans suit there needs then fine, but I'm not concerned about them, I'm talking about MY usage needs, and your talking to me, and should be worring about what the customer you are currently talking to is needing".  All this does is prove my point, that Verizon can give one crap about the heavy user base.  Wow people whom actually USE what they pay for?  Unlimited data, means I can use 100 Gigs if I wanted to.  If you didn't like people taking full advantage of what they were offerened and paid for, then you should have never made it an option in the first place!  Just like when the Cell Companies too away roll over mins.  If I paid for X amount of mins, they should roll over, BECAUSE I PAID FOR THEM!  O but once time my service was out and I said, "Ok, how much do I get credited back, since you failed to provide me with uninterupted service for a month I'm paying for, I want a credit, I don't care if it's 5 cents.."  They didn't know what to say.  Wow a customer wanting what he pays for and calling foul when he doesn't get it, what a concept.
Anyway, thought I would share this with any fellow heavy users.  Soon as my pre-paid card and my HTC Nexus One S get here, I'm buying out of the remaining contact, and NEVER comming back.  At this point it's about the companies lack of integrity!  So CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!!?

Along with what you said about how the phones are gobbling up more and more data, wouldn't it make more sense that we should have MORE to our data plans not less.  And if it's is a strain on there network, that would tell me they are trying to sell a produce and/or service and don't have the means to support it.  And then in stead of investing to update there network to handle the traffic, they in turn punsh people who use what they pay for (I don't know why people don't understand the meaning of UNLIMITED).  I would think, unless they have some brain dead people running the show, that when they first put the unlimited plan out there that they would have a percentage of users that would be HUGE power users, and would gobble up the GB's.  So I find it hard to believe that it was a big surprise to them to have 5% of the people be heavy users.  But no matter, they can change what they want, per there contract, and I can buy out and leave, per my own choice.  And that's what I'm doing.  So problem solved.  They can find millions of others to screw over, I just won't be one of them anymore..

  • Verizon does not care about customers!!!

    On Sunday, December 9th, I visited my local Verizon store in
    Inverness, Florida.
    I was excited about getting a new phone and had already
    decided on the new Galaxy S III. The store was pretty busy, so we I to wait,
    after waiting for about twenty minutes a very friendly sales representative by
    the name of Jay was ready to assisted me. I explained to him that earlier this
    year I had purchased and returned a phone but that my account had not been
    reset to show that I was eligible for upgrade. He then called into Verizon and
    spoke to someone named Brandy (<Phone Number deleted>) who stated that she
    could not do anything about this situation due to my lack of having a package
    tracking number from the phone I had “so-called returned” because it was not
    shown as being in the warehouse inventory. After numerous attempts by the sales
    representative, as well as myself, to further explain to her that I had
    documentation printed from Verizon showing my account being credited monies
    back after the phone had been received back into inventory. In an attempt
    extinguish the animosity between myself and this Verizon representative, Jay
    asked her if there was anyone else, possibly her superior, which we may speak
    to. She then put us on hold while she contacted said superior, which reiterated
    exactly what she had previously said. My store sale representative had kindly
    put his phone on speaker so that I might also be privy to the information given
    by these two female representatives. Along with my frustration of the
    situation, I had to also sit by as the two of them exchange casual niceties, as
    if the store sales representative or myself were not even present. By this
    point, I was extremely offended by the utter disregard for myself, being a
    loyal customer and for the embarrassed store representative. The superior
    explained that even though I had documentation showing the previously purchased
    phone had been returned, Verizon did not have any documentation from their
    warehouse as ever being received or restocked. She stated that she would have
    to file a form to investigate if the phone was indeed received. I was concerned
    because this issue was from the beginning of the year and it was now December,
    what if they could not find anything? I asked her that very question and she
    responded with the answers I dreaded the most: You will have to wait and see
    “if” we can find the phone, you are still under a contract because of your
    upgrade, and you will be eligible for upgrade again October 2013.
    I can not even begin to emphasize my disappointment in
    Verizon. I was completely shocked by how not only I was treated but how these
    female representatives had also disregarded a fellow Verizon employee too. At
    several points he actually had to ask if he could speak without being talked
    over by one of them. I would not refer any of my friends, family, or even total
    stranger to your company.
    The phone call ended with Brandy stating she would get back
    in touch with me with an update (which never happened). It is now December 20th
    and I am yet to hear from any Verizon representative. Earlier this evening, I
    called and spoke with Jennifer (Badge ID#<Deleted>) who was extremely helpful. I
    explained the prior situation and provided her with the exact information that
    I had provided previously to the store sales representative which then verbally
    relayed the information over the phone to the two female representatives. In
    matter of minutes, she was able to find a tracking# (<Tracking Number deleted>)
    that was received by the warehouse on March 2nd. She could also see
    that there was not a name documented for the Verizon employee that sold me the
    phone, which came up during my prior conversation because I had to keep
    defending myself that I had purchased the phone not in a store, not online, but
    over the phone when someone from Verizon contacted me. Jennifer placed me on
    hold while she contacted someone else to help her. It wasn’t long and she came
    back to the line reporting that she had been able to reset my eligibility. She
    apologized for it taking her so long, but I explained to her that when I had
    went into the store, I had to wait almost two hours without getting any
    acceptable results. I am glad to know that your store representative (Jay) and
    your customer service representative (Jennifer), still care about providing
    good customer service. If it was not for them, I would honestly believe that
    Verizon did not have one ethical employee who believes in doing the right
    thing!  Even though I finally got it reset, I have never received any response from customer service regarding their employees nasty attitude and lack of professionalism! After the way I was accused of not returning a phone that they had records of receiving, I think they should give me my upgrade for free!

  • Verizon does not care about this problem

    I just spent about 2 hours in chat and all I got from the rep and supervisor is that LG is to blame and they can do nothing about this.  They do not care that we have to suffer with a phone that is basically useless because of this horrible update.  I am going to seek another carrier as soon as possible because Verizon does not deserve anymore of my money.  Take ownership and help your paying customers instead of pointing fingers at other people.  Shame on you Verizon and I can't wait for others to leave your horrible company. 

    Have you tried backing up your data.  Factory reset the phone. And restore data?
    This should be covered under warranty, if not from Verizon, then from LG.
    THe upgrade process took 2 hours on my phone, which was much longer than any upgrade I've ever had.

  • Verizon does not care about loyal customers

    I have been a very loyal customer to verizon for the past 6 years and now it is time for another upgrade.  I go to verizon to upgrade my phone only to be told if i upgrade i will lose my unlimited data plan.  I was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan but now i must give it up or keep my current phone.  This is crap!!  All i want to do is upgrade and keep my service.  I was then told that i could in fact keep my plan IF i buy a REPLACEMENT phone. *** is going on here.  Needless to say i am switching service providers, nobody else is offering an unlimited data plan but if i have to pay for one it wont be to Verizon!!

    I have been with verizon for 10 years. When an employee told me it would be cheaper for me to get off the unlimited plan and go month to month i believed her. LIES!!!!! they want you to get off the unlimited plan. I pay 40 dollars extra a month for this plan when this employee said it was the right choice. I have been through the ringer with Verizon. For months i have been talking to people and trying to get back on the unlimited because their employee gave me false information, Many other Verizon reps said they would have never recommended that i get off the plan because i use the phone a lot for my job. I told the first woman i talked to about that but she reassured me that this was the right plan for me. I had one lady tell me because i am a loyal customer and i pay my bill on time every month that they would switch me back to the unlimited on the next billing cycle... MORE LIES!!!!! There is so much more that i dont even want to get into but this fact remains.... If you work for a company and i look to you for knowledge and advice of what i should do and you give me false and wrong answers then the company should be held responsible. But not Verizon. Now that they are a huge company it doesnt matter to them if they lose LOYAL customers because they will get more tomorrow. So i will be ending my time with them purely out of principle. I dont like being treated with disrespect like i have by this company. So Sprint it is!!! After i converted all my family to verizon. My sister, mom, dad, husbane...i kid you not. Now i need to convert them away from the greed, lies, disrespect, and horrible customer service.

  • Verizon does not care about keeping one of their most loyal customers.  Please share your similiar stories for a news article I am working on

    This seems insane to me.  I am working on getting the exact start dates of contract for a news story that I am doing for work.
    My approximate guess though is we have paid over $40,000 in service fees and they are throwing away guaranteed minimum of over $6,000 in fees by not having these lines resigned to another contract.
    I am not bitter.  I wish I could keep their service, but it is not up to me.
    I just can not believe how much
    The best part of this to me, is he got fed up and ended the conversation.
    He sent his last 3 messages rapidly when less than a minute had passed and I was typing so he could stop doing his job.

    The only thing is that I don't get how people can get scammed or cheated by VZW. I have not had a problem with them. Granted, I've only been a customer since 2011 but I have been very happy with my service. When I joined and had less service inside my house than I did with AT&T and they told me that I they can't guarantee me service inside a structure I wasn't exactly happy but I got it. I have never gotten more than what I asked for when buying a new device. I certainly don't let sales people pressure me so I will never walk out of a store with a tablet or hot spot that I don't want. I also fully understand that, when signing a contract, if I decline insurance and something happens to my phone it is NOT VZW's fault. The ones who complain are the ones who don't want to live by the contracts that they have signed, and might I add, voluntarily. These are the people for whom the Edge program was program was developed. They don't have to sign a contract and keep a device for 2 years. They can essentially get a phone whenever they want. The phone is potentially lower cost when you figure in the discount. However THIS flexibility is NEVER good for them yet they threaten to call the news or a lawyer to dispute said contract. I say to all of these people...get over yourself. I am tired of it. You're nobody special.

  • Verizon does not care about its customers

    I have had verizon fios for quite a while now, the service itself is great but... I am a litle tired of the hackers, not sure if they are outside hackes or if this is an inside job....
    ovh.net is constanly in my logs
    94.23.4.33
    94.23.42.81
    and after I blocked these address'  they moved to canada
    192.99.193.56.
    I changed the ip on my computer every couple of days or so, but within 15 to 20 min my logs start to fill. I contacted the FCC and complained to my state, I get a call back from the great folks at verizon, but I end up with tech advising me that it is impossitble to hack into my computer, and maybe I have malware and I need to purchase their antivirus. I have found numerous articles about how to hack the verizon router, and a friend of mine has proved that they work. Folks I would suggest if you have the knowledge or a friend that does make a passive internet tap, and sit back and watch the traffic that comes through. After doing this I was no longer stunned when my logs would suddenly reset by themselves.

    It is best to do the factory reset before downloading the update, because some of the apps that you have downloaded may conflict with the update.  If you are having troubles with the new update I suggest you backup your applications, and then complete a factory reset. 
    The applications that come preinstalled on your device that you mentioned have no affect on your phone or its battery life, unless you have clicked and installed them to your device.

  • Verizon does not care about poor service

    Loyal VZ customer for many years.  Problems with service where I moved to over a year ago. 3 & 4 bars showing on the phone and some days it just doesn't work.  Upgraded plan with promise that it would solve the problems.  Nope, lied to yet again!  The signal comes & goes, but get this; the broadband works when the phone will not!  Believe it or not, mostly when it is raining.  Many calls to tech support and uncountable tries to get through.  They have NEVER called back when promised.  Not that I would get the call anyway.  I get the fealing that tech support gets the run around from their own field people.   My call has been dropped in the middle of a call with tech support  more than once.  Sometimes voice mails show up on the phone the day after they were left or if I drive far enough to find another tower.  The phone works fine everywhere else I go.  This is obviously not the phone, it is the local tower, which is only six miles away.  This spells out breach of contract on the part of Verizon.  They don't seem to understand that when I do finally leave, I will not be obligated to pay any cancellation fees.   I am not in breach of contract, they are. 
    I keep paying the bill so I won't have to deal with the issues involved in changing carriers, but I am getting close to twisting off.  It is due again.  Maybe it is time.........................

    It most certainly does not indicate a "breach of contract." Per the Customer Agreement you were accepting when you came to VZW:
    Where and How Does Verizon Wireless Service Work?
    Wireless devices use radio transmissions, so unfortunately you can't get Service if your device isn't in range of a transmission signal. And please be aware that even within your Coverage Area, many things can affect the availability and quality of your Service, including network capacity, your device, terrain, buildings, foliage and weather.
    What Are My Rights for Dropped Calls or Interrupted Service?
    If you drop a call in your Coverage Area, redial. If it's answered within 5 minutes, call us within 90 days if you're a Postpay customer, or within 45 days if you're a Prepaid customer, and we'll give you a 1–minute airtime credit. If you're a Postpay customer and you lose Service in your Coverage Area for more than 24 hours in a row and we're at fault, call us within 180 days and we'll give you a credit for the time lost. Please be aware that these are your only rights for dropped calls or interrupted Service.
    The bold in the last sentence was mine to emphasize the most important qualifier of the whole. In the first paragraph, it essentially states that the service and quality is not guaranteed (even if VZW is historically the most reliable provider in the country). The second paragraph states that you can be compensated for the lost time and that this compensation is the only right you have regarding dropped calls or interrupted service (outages and whatnot). Terminating the contract would still generate the early termination fee, which you would certainly be responsible for.
    All of this, though, overlooks the essentials. Have the technical support representatives filed any tickets to have the tower looked at? Did the tickets get any sort of resolution? Issues with individuals dropping the ball does not equate to the apathy with respect to the service quality.

  • Wow I can see from all the negative feed  back that Verizon does not care about  customer loyalty.

    I have 4 i phones I pad 2 mac books and internet,landline and cable all through verizon. i have contacted verizon customer service I have been to A verizon store and have been lied to by there customer service department. Two of my phones that belong to my son and daughter where severely damaged at a school function. I inquired about having the two phone replaced of which the phones are up for renew in 6 weeks.I find it unbelievable that a loyal customer who has been with them for 7 years and pays there bill every month( 500.00 ) absolutely refuses to help me just mind blowing. I had my mother two sisters and brother switch to them and now will let them know of this. Shame on them they don't deserve customers like me and will be looking to changing to att and comcast for my services.

        Good morning dupi17.  I want to to start off by thanking you for your continued support over the years.  I am sorry to hear about your kids phone getting damaged while at a function.  Its always disappointing to see something like that happen. For situations like this, it is always great to have insurance.  What kind of damage was on the device? Do you have insurance on the device?
    If you don't have insurance, you can take a look at our Certified Pre Owned program.  These are phones that are in like new condition, but are sold at less than full retail, to make the cost more manageable.  For more information on our Certified Pre Owned Program, please visit http://vz.to/rcDvLW.

    Would it be possible for me to download iTunes in Parallels and get the files into that and then onto my iPod?
    Yes, you can download iTunes for Windows using Parallels. If planning on making purchases here and/or authorizing already purchased tracks (from your Mac iTunes library), you are permitted to authorize five (5) computers as per iTunes Store terms of use, regardless of computing platform. No need to create a separate new iTunes Store account.
    However, judging from what you would like to do, your best bet would be to convert the WMAs to AAC/MP3 in iTunes-Windows (iTunes-Mac cannot import WMA files), and drag the files from the Parallels window to your desktop to add to the iTunes-Mac library. (as the iPod itself is currently linked to your iTunes-Mac library)
    Hope this helps,
