I purchased a mobile Wi-Fi Orbic device from them 1 week ago and the battery won't hold a charge. I attempt to take it back yesterday, and after waiting almost 2 hours to be seen, they tell me the WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE BATTERY. The rep also mentioned these devices have known battery issues, but were either of these things mentioned when I purchased it? No. Then he said I'd have to buy another device ($80) and referred me to Best Buy. read more

Checking in has gotten challenging now as you have to see an employee to check in then you find out how many people are in front of you. It seems like the days of fixing cell phones are gone now since I went there for my defective screen and was referred to my insurance so I could file a claim. When I asked about a smart watch for the Google Pixel 2, I was informed that no smart watch was compatible with my phone, but the Palm is an option if I want a smaller phone that requires its own plan. Although I didn't get my phone fixed, I did receive friendly service. read more

Verizon - Mobile Phones Near Me - Burbank, California

I wanted to upgrade my phone since my phone was damaged and they told me that it's not insured so no replacement it's all on me! Fine my fault I'll get a new phone so hook me up !! since I'm a loyal customer for over 15 + years.. this girl that works there stops me and says do you have an appointment or signed in because there's like 5 people ahead of you and I'll have to come back an hour or so not sure but for an hour. I looked around and it was empty , I could understand if they were busy , I said there's no one here, she said they are on a list and I'm not on it. I was like WTF.. so I left I was so pissed and confused. 15 years down the drain.... read more

Worst customer service! The manager here Kevin not only had a bad attitude with us but was unhelpful. Do not recommend coming to this location. read more

I was helped by Andres on December 1st & his customer service was so exceptional I had to make a yelp review. To say the least I took all the offers he gave me and upgraded to new phones and a new plan. He even hooked me up with in store pick up for the products that weren't in stock. read more

Leaving behind my old NJ number was a big moment for me.. goodbye 908, hello 323. Upon entering the store I got a bit worried considering there were quite a few people buzzlng around. Luckily, a Verizon employee came right up to me and got me on the sales list right away.. I was number two. No big deal that they spelled my name Daniel- hey, it happens. I got to walk around the store looking at phones for about 10 minutes and then my boy name was called. The sales person who helped me, Melina, was wonderful. She sat through about 8 zillion questions (mostly dumb ones) and explained lots of different options without trying to push me into anything I didn't really want. Pretty awesome. I feel like Melina helped me sign up for the most appropriate amounts of phone time/texting/data/etc. Thank you!!! I will miss my Tamagotchi theme on my Blackberry.. but life will go on. So in conclusion I am a proud new owner of a Droid Eris and half of my family members (the insane ones) no longer can contact me. That leaves me with a 5 star feeling. read more

Although I've been a Verizon client since it was Airtouch, the quality of service has gone down tremendously over the years. First of all, it took 45 minutes to be seen. Although I was there to change my plan, I felt pressured to make purchases of things I didn't want or need. Even when we agreed to change the plan, the gentleman helping us still came out with bunch of things that he was expecting us to purchase. He acted understanding when I didn't purchase any of the unwanted items but he seemed to be irritated. Seems they work on commission which can be a pain for us customers. By the time I left this store, I had waisted 90 minutes of my life and was irritated. read more

Worked with Andres at the store, who was great. I wanted headphones and he patiently walked me through the various models and their pros/cons. He helped me realize that the AirPods were the most worthwhile buy for my specific needs, especially for work. Would definitely come back to the store again. Thanks! read more

Andy is the best!!!!!!! Very good customer service, we got our problem fixed in few minutes.

We decided to stop in when changing our plans after purchasing new phones at another location. Unlike the Simi Valley location that was not being very helpful and tried to sneak in unnecessary insurance at the time of purchase, Nicole the associate at this store was very helpful and explained everything in a clear and concise manner. We were able to avoid the unnecessary runaround and skullduggery we received at the other store and changed our plan to better meet our needs. Thank you Nicole for all of your help! read more

My boyfriend and I went in to do a multitude of things! Switch my account to my own and then add him from AT&T, get a new phone, hook up my Apple Watch an ask about international plans. We had Andres and he was extremely helpful! We were first worried because he could only give us 20 minutes of his time due to store policy! But we got everything done! He answered all my questions and everything went so smooth! read more

Bad costumer service... they told me I was next waited for 45 minutes... seen at least 5 people working and no it wasn't a busy day..

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID THIS LOCATION AT ALL COST, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! The Bad- 0- stars why? because its disgusting how people are getting paid to chill/ hang out with their buddies why there are customers waiting to be called. My experience was I came in and Assistant Manager got my name and my info and said she would call me shortly. Key word shortly. To them shortly is anything less than one hour. Thats just how long i waited before i was called. I was only called at around the 55 min mark. Get this there were only 2 people in front of me. WTF? right. yep, useless people. Its beyond me how corporate would have this location open for so long, without a major overhaul. Look at these yelp reviews. Most of them its 1 star. I actually complained to the assistant manager 5'3 hispanic chick that took my name, what was the hold up. She said there were only 3 sales reps around. I actually took a pic of her chilling with her girlfriend laughing and giggling the entire i was there. Well actually she stopped giggling and laughing once i asked why she came to work to hang out and chat with her buddy. Her response was well, she is not a vrn employee. LOL! She is getting paid to chat with her buddy. 20 mins later I complained to this other gentleman about how her assisntant manager is completely useless and comes to work to giggle. I told him i did not have an issue with people having a good time. No one wants to be tensed up and serious all the time, but why is she gossiping when there are customers waiting. Last time i checked thats why she has a job, because she is supposed to help her customers. Later i ended up finding out that this guy was actually the manager. So i asked him, what was his thoughts on the store's yelp reviews. He said that most of them were 1 star because of the waiting time. Well really sherlock? Why dont request or hire more employees, or get your assistant manager to help instead of to gossip. Coorperate should just come in and start firing everyone. Boom Boom you are fired, you are fired. There are many people that are willing to work to get paid. But these people just wanna lay around chill out clock in and clock out and get their paycheck at the end of the week. The manager obviously doesnt care that no one is getting anything done. The good- Oscar was finally able to help me after 55 mins, he was very professional and was able to get everything done for me in less than 10 mins. read more

Verizon - Been here for 10 mins. Apparently the workers come to hang out. - Mobile Phones Near Me - Burbank, California

Trashcan customer service! Came in just to purchase a phone case and had to wait 10 mins before any of the workers would acknowledge me to be "checked in". I had no issue using the kiosk just needed to ask a basic question. Several people standing around "helping" but again, it's 1 person checking in and he runs off every time a customer appears to be approaching him. 3 times I've been at this location with the exact same service and finally had to write a review. From the manager down it is horrible!!!!!!! I get some people are rude customers but treating people that way as soon as they walk through your door!? Saying "hi" or "welcome" and "someone will be with you shortly" is basic customer service. read more

Jorge is amazing. He helped me with all my connectivity issues. He was able to resolve all of our issues with a smile. I HIGHLY recommend this store. So customer friendly. read more

Atrocious. I should have stayed with ATnT. I ordered a tablet as part of a promotion and six months later I still haven't received it. Every time I contact customer service, I am treated like a new customer. I have to describe everything that's happened all over again. I spend an hour resolving the issue, they say they'll ship it again. They issue me a ticket and nothing happens. For a communications company, they should be embarrassed by their inability to communicate with internally and externally. Breach of contract. read more

This is the best Verizon experience I've had! Edgar at the empire center Verizon! He was so patient and kind. He created an environment of no stress even in a stressful situation. I am so grateful and recommend this Verizon 100%! read more

Horrible service we order the new Apple Watch Series 4 and iPhone Xs-Max By mistake we got the black Apple Watch instead of the stainless steel that we originally wanted, came back to the store after receiving the watch in the mail to exchange it for the stainless steel and they claim because the box is open which It was not (There was a small tear on the plastic cover in the box which came like that ) they were going to charge us $50 for restocking. I wanted to exchange it for the right watch them pay for the upgrade. Call Verizon directly the best they can do is split the $50 restocking charge from the store. I Don't recommend using this store return the watch, Going to buy at the Apple store. I know it makes no difference this Businesses don't care about us because they have so much business so I give thanks to yelp for letting Us WARN other people before they do business with This store. Note: a Young lady by the name of Jessica was very nice to help us by printing a label for us to mail the watch back to wherever it came from. They charge me $50 and wouldn't even take the watch back I had to mail it myself.. I can't believe there's no customer service anymore we all need to stand together and Demand better customer service... read more

See all

BEWARE OF THIS STORE!!! I assume these guys are on commission and will do anything to add items to your account. On a recent visit... 1. The guy tried to tell me my new phone purchase came bundled with a few items (car charger, etc). Then he came out with a $150 bill for my "bundled items". I made him put everything back. 2. He tried to get me to take the extra equipment insurance. I declined it. 3. He told me if I upgraded my old portable wifi unit to the newer version, he would waive my new phone activation fee and there would be no additional charges for the new wifi unit since I'm on the Unlimited Plan. He was going to just swap out the old one to the new one. 4. I had to pay for the tax on my new phone purchase (which I expected) but he broke the charge up into two separate charges. Not sure why but I found that quite odd. Well...I just received my new bill and sure enough, he added the equipment insurance AND didn't waive my activation fee AND charged me an additional monthly fee for the new portable wifi unit (now I'm paying for two wifi units). This isn't the first time this has happened but it usually happens at Verizon 3rd party stores. The only reason I went to this corporate store was so that this stuff wouldn't happen. I expected more integrity from corporate sales guys but I was wrong. I ended up calling Verizon to complain and have all these charges reversed. The customer service rep alluded to this type of sales tactics is a known thing. He said to never go into these stores. Just call Verizon directly, place your order over the phone and they ship directly to you. I will NEVER go into a Verizon store (corporate or not) ever again. read more

I have been to this location many times and I've always had good service. It can get very busy so I recommend making an appointment or going shortly after they open. Thank you to Brooks for helping me twice in one week and being patient with my limited knowledge of tech of any kind. read more

Taylor and Garik took the time to answer all of my questions and discussed my needs so that I upgraded to the best options. Thank you guys! I have been a Verizon cutomer for 8 years because they have awesome customer service. Consider parking in the Target Parking Lot and walking over. It gets a little crazy there. read more

The eSim card on my new Iphone 14 deactivated. The phone was purchased through Verizon and Verizon is my carrier. As a Verizon customer without cell service and unable to connect with customer service I went here for help. This place was pitifully unhelpful in assisting me with reactivating my phone. The manager, Jose, stood nearby doing nothing as he encouraged his sales rep to deliver unhelpful suggestions like "you should call customer service...". He did as little as humanly possible to rectify the situation. I drove to another location and they got me reactivated in no time. Avoid this place at all costs, they have neither the willingness or ability to perform basic functions of a corporate wireless carrier location. read more

If you can see someone in a reasonable amount of time, then this location is great. This store can get quite busy, but at the same time the waits feel shorter than at other locations. I just wish they were even shorter. At least it's a large location so there's plenty of roaming space. You never feel crammed in there. That's a complaint I've had with a lot of other Verizon stores I've been to. read more

My husband and I went in to get information about upgrading our iPhones and it was such a pleasure to work with Joshua! We were both really impressed about how he knew which questions to ask to make sure we were getting the right phones for our needs. He gave recommendations about our plan and printed out a quote with how our bill will be impacted. The whole experience was such a refreshing change from what I was accustomed to when going to a phone store! read more

When comparing Verizon customer service to the Department of Motor Vehicles, the DMV will look like a super-efficient, happy place to do business! I called Verizon and waited on hold to speak to a human being only to be hung up on after the third hour passed!! This company is too big, they don't need your business and they can't serve the customers they have. read more

Austin was really helpful Very educated on both iPhone and Samsung devices He walked me through all the specs Highly recommended at the Burbank Verizon store. Thanks for the professionalism and great customer service. read more

If you want a headache from the annoying music playing then come on in! They thought we were at a rock concert with rock music blasting ! One of the sales people knew that it was irritating us and didn't bother to reduce it! Lots and lots of Verizon stores .... just go to a different one! Oh and there was a cockroach on the counter ! read more

Verizon - Mobile Phones Near Me - Burbank, California

Shady spot with overzealous salespeople. My new Iphone experience has been terrible and agonizing. Thanks for nothing!

Wowwwww I was on hold 40 minutes then transferred to another department Frauds my checking account is hacked and someone is using my card to fraudulently pay i finally tell this to two agents and put back on hold. Just terrible. What are you guys doing there putting people on hold and just chit chatting with each other. read more

I arrived at the store and there were 9 people ahead of me. I was told to come back two hours later to purchase a new phone. I came back earlier than 2 hours later and was told I would not receive assistance because it was after hours, even though other customers were still being helped and I had been told it was okay to leave the premises and come back 2 hours later. The manager seemed apathetic to my situation and would not let me even step inside the store to discuss the issue. I am very disappointed with the customer service here. read more

Update - I ended up going to the Apple Store and they wiped my old phone in three seconds from my new phone. They didn't even put me on the waiting list because it was such an easy and quick thing. No laptop hookup to my iCloud or anything necessary like they told me (but refused to do) at the Verizon store in Burbank. I asked the Apple guy if they don't know how to do this at Verizon and he said yeah, they do. Of course they do. They just don't want to bother with service because they get paid on commission with a low hourly wage. So if you need service and aren't buying anything they are desperate to get rid of you. We asked at two other Verizon stores and they both said they had heard bad stories about the Burbank store. In September 2023 Verizon reported a net income $4.76 Billion dollars. But they can't pay the store staff a living wage. So we have to deal with the anxiety and panic this causes in the staff. read more

Wow, such a great experience. I've used Sprint personally for 14 years and I use T-Mobile for my business (I have multiple SIM cards for LTE capabilities on iPads). People have told me for a while now that Verizon's LTE was significantly faster so I finally went in to check it out. Joshua Berman was SO helpful. First off, their LTE was amazing and I'm starting the transition from T-Mobile now. But more so, his attitude and eagerness to have my business really made me feel important. I got a call from Matt later that day as promised to start building my business account and I couldn't be happier about my decision. My contract with Sprint is also coming up and I will coming back to this store to get a new phone and a new contract. I was expecting a headache and left feeling great. Thanks guys! read more

I didn't want to leave one star. Took my new Galaxy phone in to have data transferred . We all know this is a royal PIA! Dark haired man under 30 didn't want to be bothered. He lied and stated the Verizon stores do not perform that service any longer. I called Verizon and they verified they "do indeed happily transfer data to a new phone no problem." Verizon rep asked for the address of that store. I hope they get a black eye report. I don't want to hear one more effin' word about covid blah blah blah. Funny how there is zero covid problems when they want to sell you a $1,500 phone AND accessories. Horrible "customer service". AVOID. read more

Great staff! Excellent customer service. I don't recall the name of the manager but he's doing a great job at this location. I would definitely recommend anybody who has to go to Verizon or have any issues to go to location for purchasing iPhones. I absolutely loved the service and I would highly recommend coming to this location and definitely will be coming back to this location in the future for all my Verizon needs! read more

from the first day that I have purchase my iphone 14 plus from Verizon Empire, it went SOS mode, I was not able to use it for a week, then contacted 611 many times until i got my new phone to replace the one which was malfunctioning, meanwhile i tried to recover and it seems that the authorization code is being sent to another device in our family plan, where I do not have access to, so I went to Verizon and talked to manager named Jeorge and he said he cant do anything about it, YET the mistake comes from Verizon, and I was expecting them to solve this issue because I do not have access to make such a change by my own and its obviously Verizon's blunter. Since the manager couldn't or didn't want to help I've decided to give back the new phone and they charged me again for their fault 50 dollars in my account which im expecting refund, by the way I was not able to use my phone over a week which cause a huge damage to my business, so who is responsible??? read more

I came in with my own newer WiFi hotspot and I already had an older one on my account. I wanted to transfer my service (old number) to this new device. He talked me into activating a new line, and told me to call and cancel my old line. He assured me that he would waive the new line activation fee if I did this. Well, I get my bill and sure enough, there is a new line activation fee of $30. So I called the "solutions specialist" and he assured me he would get it taken care of and that he would call me back. Not only did he never call me back, but the charge remained on my account. It was just his way to get a new line activated, which is what they are trying to do in order to make their sales look better. Total scam and I am out $30. I won't be coming back to this Verizon store. read more

Hello, I would first like to begin by congratulating this Verizon Burbank store for their excellent customer service. We immediately received a warm welcome as we entered the store. I had just added my older uncle and aunt to my cell phone account so I needed someone who would be able to explain the cell phone bill to them. We were fortunate to have been assigned to Helen as the representative to assist us. Well, I was very impressed with Helen as she was very knowledgeable and was easily able to explain the questions my uncle and aunt had regarding the phone bill. I'd like to add that Helen was extremely patient with my uncle and aunt.I especially appreciated Helen's explanation of the Insurance plan for our phones.Helen was very friendly and efficient.The whole time that Helen was assisting us, she carried a smile on her face. My family and I felt appreciated as Verizon customers.We will definitely be returning to this Burbank store.Verizon should consider themselves fortunate to have such an exemplary employee like Helen! read more

Never ever come to this location unless you want your time completely wasted and to be disrespected by the employees. More then unprofessional. Seriously want to change carriers after this experience. read more

The service in this location sucks, I went there to change my current plan today, one of their specialist Ana helps me, but the fact is that she is not helpful at all. She made a phone call to Verizon customer service and put me on the phone, then she just walked away and left. I waited like twenty minutes on that line, but finally it said "your request cannot be completed on this automated system"?? This lady, Ana, just asked me to come here the other day, which is not a useful solution to my problem. read more

Went into this Verizon about two weeks ago to inquire about getting a new phone. The man that helped did little/nothing to help and was withholding information about the process. About a week later, I came back in and met Zac. He was INCREDIBLY helpful, respectful, and gave all information necessary for me to buy the phone I am using right now. He made sure I was given all of the offers unique to my plan (a phone case, a screen protector, discounts, etc). Very pleased and thankful for his help. read more
