Over 3 hrs of texting with arthritis

Verizon is abusing us old folks.  I have sever arthritis and they kept me texting for 3 hours with NO results and refuse to call me or for me to call them.  A phone company that refuses to talk to its customers and for sure its old customers.  I will be calling everyone and emailing in govt about Verizons elder abuse.

You might state what issue you're trying to get help on.  You should be able to get a Customer Service agent calling 800-922-0204.  Financial services is 866-266-1445.

They may or may not have provided more details in their other posts scattered around the forum.

I agree with everything you state. However are you over 50?  You can call that number 800-922-0204 all day.  Good luck getting a human.  I was told by text from support to try social media.

While it is certainly annoying that you are not getting the solution you seek, calling this "elder abuse" is offensive.    Elder abuse is a very serious problem and if you were a victim you wouldn't be able to keep posting in lots of threads.

People younger than 50 can also have disabilities or other challenges that can limit their ability to get or wait for support.

I am well over 50, having been retired for 5 years, collecting Social Security and, fortunately, healthy. I have called Customer Services many times and, yes, you have to be persistent in hitting '0', saying 'agent'  or making a selection that will get you to an agent.  You CAN get a live agent if you're persistent.

No 'agent' or zero wouldnt work yesterday guess they turned off that part of the robot/auto attendant.  I used to do that but that does not work anymore or it didnt all yesterday.

I just tried it.  I was calling from my primary phone on my account and was recognized by the auto-attendant and had to go thru a validation sequence to allow access to my account details.  When given a chance to speak,  'agent' did work. I was prompted to speak what my issue was regarding so I could be directed to the right group. I said 'billing' and was put in a queue with a 6 min wait time but given the option to schedule a callback at a time of my choosing.   I didn't wait but am confident an agent would have picked up.
