No stars for you Tried to add a line. Had 2 prepay lines already setup. They couldn't get the phone to work on the system. I paid for the new line but it said my funds were short before I finished the first prepaid month, within a day of activation, actually. After a couple days struggling with Verizon phone support, I went to this location to request the new line be removed and my money refunded. Without telling me, the fat guy at the door applied the balance to one of the two lines disconnecting my auto pay. So my main phone wasn't paid and lost service. Verizon never notified me. It was people who tried to call me relayed the message that Verizon put a message telling people the line was not active due to nonpayment. So much goes through WiFi that I didn't notice the outage right away. Verizon doesn't notify you if you are behind on your prepaid plan.
Trying to drop Verizon and switch phone and number to another carrier is being blocked due to a fraudulent lost/stolen tag on my phone that Verison initiated the day after I tried to start service on T-Mobile. They tell me I will lose my number of 20 years if I don't pay them for another month of service. Talk about shake down! Local 'corporate office' is a fast place to get a transfer pin. But it doesn't work because of the fraudulent stolen phone tag Verizon has applied to my phone.
I'm using my 'lost phone' to write this review on WiFi.
It's like Hotel California, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
I tried to email Verizon as they recommend, but that note, they put here only so YOU might think they are actually trying to straighten out this situation.
I started at 8 yesterday morning with a call to Verizon, because I could call out on T-Mobile, receiving was blocked by Verizon. Ran around back and forth between Verizon and T-Mobile all day. T-Mobile finally got a code to work only to find out that Verizon now lists my phone as lost/stolen.
Links to register your account to login lead to messages that say the service is temporarily down. But I found that the service was NEVER up. If you aren't registered you cannot chat online with Verizon reps. If your phone isn't working, you cannot call from a number that is not in the Verizon system. There is no way that I have found to get past the entry bot on a non Verizon phone on the 800-922-0204 number, the only number they give out. And the person at the corporate office near park meadows tells me I must use one of these two methods that are unavailable to me to try and get Verizon to unlock a phone that I bought directly from Sprint 30 months ago.
Again. They list my phone stolen if I try to transfer it. I don't owe them anything. But they can make it work if I pay for another month. It's a shakedown game they play. And they warn me I will lose my number if I don't pay up.
But my phone has not fully worked since 12-22-22 when I switched service providers. Now it is unable to work on a phone system at all after spending 8 am to 6 pm going between Verizon and T-Mobile, only to have T-Mobile tell me at 5 that Verizon has listed my phone stolen. I talked to Verizon at 8 am and they didn't mention that it was listed stolen. I talked to reps throughout the day and nobody told me that my phone was stolen. Here it is in my hand. Been using it for 2 and a half years.
DON'T START VERIZON THEY WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE WITH YOUR PHONE AND NUMBER. read more
