After my husband's phone was lost and we exhausted all other possibilities of retrieving it, we had to get him a new phone. We were able to get the content transferred easily from his backup, but then it was time to get it set up with Verizon. We wanted to be sure we weren't messing up the cellular switch in the process, especially since we were already exhausted by the all-consuming multi-day quest that brought us to this moment.
Since we were just down the street from the Apple Store, we decided to just go directly to Verizon. Upon arriving, we saw many signs inside noting that this Verizon store is a third-party approved carrier under the name Russell Cellular. As long as they could help us with the process, that sounded fine to us.
Since all the employees were helping customers when we arrived, we wrote our name on the clipboard list and then took a seat. A couple minutes later, Josue welcomed us and we explained our situation. He made sure that we knew from the beginning that there would be a small fee ($40) to complete the full switchover and testing, but it was worth it to us to put this ordeal behind us.
He got everything updated in the system and tested the phone to be sure the number transferred correctly. Josue asked helpful questions along the way and made sure we got everything we needed without trying to upsell us or drag out the process. It was the most pleasant experience I've ever had with Verizon!
Since going to the other local location can be a mess, I would definitely want to return to this store if I ever need help with Verizon products in the future. read more
