Landline down since August 8th, cannot get in touch with anyone at Verizon.

chimmie23

Any advice on how to get in touch with Verizon? I haven't had landline service (no dialtone) since August 8th. I just got a bill for the month of August and September. Finally I was able to make an online appointment for a technician to come out Sep.7th, meaning I will not have had phone service for a month.

Do I have to pay my bill if I have no service? What are the consumer laws protecting against this?

I feel like I"m in Fallujah. How do you exist in the US, let alone in Manhattan, without phone service for a MONTH because you can't get in touch with anyone via phone, email or text to help set up a repair appt?
