For those of you out there looking for holiday deals, Verizon may look like a great opportunity…read more But it's NOT without a few years worth of grief and hassle. And they will give you both in spades. The stores themselves are great visits. Helpful, kind, overly busy. The problem with Verizon is BEHIND the curtain. They don't honor the stores gimmicks and promotions. Last year, I was a grand target of that. I exchanged my iPhone 11s for 13s and 15s. It was time. And they had a great promotion going. But they didn't honor it once it was activated. And there is the trick. Once you walk out of the store with activation, you've sold your soul. This last year has been a horrible one of constant calling to Verizon and here is what you get: PHONE TREES. Then authentication texts. Then a 10 minute wait to talk to an agent who you WILL BE charged $10 for. (And that's the EASY part). Once you get to the representative they immediately tell you what you OWE them and ask if you'd make a payment. Normally the answer is no, I've paid, can you please get me to a supervisor? Here is the thing: Front line representatives CANNOT help you do anything but pay your bill or connect you to another person. 2 out of 5 times the call WILL drop and you will have to start over. So stay still and don't pace around the house. I have been connected to a " supervisor" who wasn't one too MANY times. They will waste your time and tell you what you want to hear and get you off the phone. This happened to me yesterday. I had a payment arrangement made off a bill based on the availability of a check coming in from my business. I could tell it wasn't coming that day so I called to make sure my service was secure and make a new arrangement. I first got a woman who would not work with me at all, said there is nothing she could do and told me I needed to pay everything to secure service. I asked to speak to her supervisor and the phone disconnected. I called again, waited through the phone tree, had to re-explain to a representative before they would transfer me . After 20 minutes I was connected to a supervisor named "Red". He had a Vietnamese accent. In fact 80% of the people working there do. This is an observation, not a critique. But many times I have hardships understanding them. And the women supervisors - are mean. They are there to stop you. Do as little as they can. Anyway, "Red" listened to my concerns and said not to worry. He would take care of it and gave me several more days to pay! He sent me a Verizon text message stating the date it was due. He gave me his location ID and told me to not worry about it and to have a great day. Wow. This was a good feeling and so far, only an hour of time lost. But HERE is the rub. Throughout the day I received text messages saying my payment was due. So I called back AGAIN and waited to talk to a supervisor. This time I got a representative named Gabriel in the beginning. He was kind and could see the notes Red had written and said it looks right but he couldn't figure why there was still text messages coming. So he got me to a new supervisor: get ready... Lizzie got on the phone with me and I had to explain it all for the 5th time. She said and I quote: "Upon checking, I don't see anything here from a supervisor, you will have to pay immediately" I said that not true. I have texts from a supervisor here saying different. The representative read it back to me. You are mistaken. She said there was NOTHING there. And I shouldn't have been told such things and she was sorry for the inconvenience. I couldn't believe it. And she wasn't budging. I asked to talk to HER supervisor, she said she was the top of the chain. And she wasn't going to do anything else. I thanked her for her time and hung up and called again. (You HAVE to be nice or they will flag you). After another 20 mins, I got a supervisor named "Devri". I explained everything I went through the entire day. Devri looked into it all and after 10 minutes told me that "Red" was NOT a supervisor. He had no grounds to make those texts to me and was sorry for the inconvenience. I WAS outside myself with anger. Yet, she could see all the times I had called. She knew I was a customer of 5 years. So she said she would work with me. Can I pay 70% of my bill? I said no. Not for a few days. How about 50%? $300? I said not today. She then said she would "go out on a limb" and work with me and take $200 and create a new arrangement. (This was never an option. But I do know that a company is only as good as those answering the phone.) I said fine. She did. And it bought me 5 more days, but the treatment of the customers is HORRIBLE and CROOKED. Most people wouldn't have the time to set and r deal with them. And they count on it. They are a horrible company that happens to have a monopoly going very well for them and I plan to share it to as many who will listen. They are a very very bad phone service.

This is a review of a recent "service assistance" at the S. Cedar Xfinity store in Lansing,…read moreMichigan. I actually met with the manager of the store, Sebastian. Who slouched in chair, chewed gum, did not give me eye contact or appear to be friendly. Beware when you go in to have specific questions prepared. Look out for omissions on their recommendations. For example, I was told he could lower my internet course with a deal but part of the deal was a Samsung tablet. I said I didn't need it. Sebastian said it was part of the deal so I said ok. Sebastian didn't mention that by taking he tablet I would be paying $140 over three years. I went back to return it and it took them over half an hour just to accept it back after they ask for SS # and photographed my drivers license. Be sure you ask the "helper" to explain your service and the costs of each item before you accept it. Also the terms they use for different services are ambiguous. Be sure to ask about what for example "video" means. Good Luck

The negatives - cost, customer service, billing. It is $80 per month for basic internet. This seems very high to me, yet it could be fine if it was billed correctly. I've had this price since September 2024 (it's Feb 2025 now) and have has to contact customer service AT LEAST 10 times over various billing issues (1-2 hours per call. Getting through the prompts (horrible), waiting on hold (usually not too bad), talking to unhelpful customer service rep 30+ minutes), get transferred to "customer specialist". Getting transferred to customer specialist usually resolves the issues, but at that point I'm so flustered from the first half of the call that it seems counterproductive. It is often the same issue that I'm calling about over and over again, one rep will say it's resolved then it will never get resolved. I have a deal with them not to increase my price, then they increase anyways. It's gotten to the point I take notes of who I talk to, when I call, and what was agreed upon. That doesn't usually matter, they still say whatever they want and it takes constant fighting to stick to their agreement.
