The had a great recent experience with… The had a great recent experience with their customer service. I know sometimes it depends on who the person is helping you but they did their job and then some this time. I’m extremely happy.

Antiquated, malfunctioning website Verizon is a big name in the industry, but the service is anything but. For a reputable TECHNOLOGY company, they do a horrible job of having an infrastructure setup for long time customers having an older phone. They actually sent me a text saying that I would only receive 4G when it's not too busy, and would receive 3G the rest of the time. They did something that resulted in me being no longer able to use my phone for a hotspot. Consistently takes an unusually long time to receive an sms message, let a lone an mms message. I am getting dropped more frequently. All of the above likely due to my comment about them delegating older phones that long time customers may have, to the back of the bandwidth line. On top of all that, their website looks like something from the 1990's, and so many bugs and malfunctions with the functionality of it. It's as if they have no QA department that tests it before deploying it to live production. All that, and they are still the most expensive cell service provider. To be fair, there coverage is still one of the best if not the best of all providers, and their customer service, although imperfect, I have never had a major problem with.

Avoid VERIZON if at all possible Unfortunately, I'm forced to deal with this company. They are the worst. I'm convinced that they actually train their employees to deceive and/or lie to their customers. I've had so many bad experiences with them that I've lost count. I don't trust ANYTHING I'm told and insist that they put everything in writing as a result of years of manipulation, deception and lies. Forget about getting any "help" out of them....you need to pay your bill every month WHETHER OR NOT you are actually getting the SERVICE you are paying for. If you even manage to get someone on the phone, they want you to troubleshoot and fix the problem yourself and too bad if you can't. The worst.

I called and asked to extend my payment… I called and asked to extend my payment for 2 days and the agent processed my payment anyways WITHOUT my consent and bounced my checking account. I talked to a supervisor who reversed the payment but in the mean time it is still not back in my bank and I will now have not 1 but 2 bounced fees!!! I am beyond upset!

I recently (in September 2019) signed… I recently (in September 2019) signed up for Verizon's new prepaid phone plan which included 16 GB of high speed data. I live in Provo, Utah, near Salt Lake city, so I assumed I wouldn't have an issue with getting fast data. The data plan is supposed to give you 4G LTE data if the network is not congested. However, after my first day of service, the network must have always been congested because I never once (not a single time) had 4G LTE data. Most of the time my data was 3G (not even 4G), and sometimes it was even 1-2G. It was very very slow. After a month of service I cancelled and switched to Cricket. If you want a good phone provider, that is not only a little cheaper but that almost always also gives you 4G LTE data (I don't think I've ever not had 4G LTE data yet with them), then check out Cricket. It's a really good service.
