The feature hasn't been working for a while, i.e.,

I tried that yesterday after chatting with a verizon rep. Still does not work… which is why I am trying this community board for answer.

Let's gather more data and get the root cause of this issue. We'll send you a Private Note shortly.

I have spent too many hours on Verizon's help line, chat and on the phone with them regarding this nickname issue. Today after being switched through 4 different agents, the 3rd one said he'd been working at Verizon for 15 years and has never heard of this feature. The 4th agent said she was from another country that does not offer this nickname feature. Dead ends! I sure hope this feature returns as it is extremely helpful.

Thank you for sharing. I was getting dead-ends along the line you stated, which is why I tried this board. Further up these post a Verizon Rep (Jesse) sent me a private message. We clarified which logs I was speaking of (current or after bill issued). He asked for a screenshot of the popup to the Add/Change Nickname in the current usage option for support, as well as the URL for that screen. Jesse also requested the URL for that specific popup screen, which I was able to do a simple copy and paste to provide. He said they had a team of ‘offline techs’ that work these issues. He created a work order with the specific issue and support docs I provided. Jesse indicated hopefully I would see a resolution in about ten days. Jesse was extremely thorough and patient with me….making sure he understood the issue. I will report back findings.

Thanks for the update! I have 5 work orders out there on this single issue. No responses or results.

I am glad to see others have brought this to Verizon's attention.

I will check back in a few days to see if you're given a resolution.

Thank you for your feedback. We are just one message away in case you have additional questions or concerns. Have a nice day!

Hello fellow posters:

Since it was now a few days past the 10 days the Verizon Rep thought it might take for the IT Team to fix the issue, I followed up via the private message system to alert them that the issue has NOT been fixed. I attached a copy of the assigned ‘work ticket #’.

The Verizon Rep that replied is Joseph. He looked up the ticket and it indicated the IT had… “closed the ticket as resolved”. I told Joseph the issue has not been resolved and also inquired as to how / why the IT Team thought it was. Joseph was very understanding but didn’t have any insight as to IT decisions and stated the Reps are basically at the mercy of those working in IT.

Joseph has now reopened the issue and states he will keep an eye on the ticket incase IT asks for more steps to be tried.

All of the cases I opened on this nickname issue have been 'closed and resolved'. Closed, yes. Resolved, no.

Thank you for the update. I hope Verizon figures this out!

Ya, it’s really weird for someone to think an issue has been resolved without actually checking / confirming with the customer.

Makes me wonder how much $$ the company is paying out on Salaries to IT ppl who appear to have no real accountability for their work……just a stack of false ‘closed/resolved’ tickets. 🤷‍

Any luck with Verizon to get the nickname feature up and running again? Any open tickets resolved?
