$10 charge to talk to a person

I was charged $10 to talk to a representative today about something that I was unable to find or do on line.

Your charges and profits are already pretty high and I find it unconscionable , especially for older people, to have to  pay to talk to a representative is absolutely outrageous.

Georgylannon, thank you so much for reaching out. If you are to call in to get assistance with making a payment or setting up any arrangements, there would be a $10 agent assistance fee.

 

To pay your bill, you can use one of Verizon’s numerous free self-serve options, including the My Verizon app, My Verizon website, any Bill Pay Kiosk at a Verizon retail store, or the Verizon Automated Phone System by dialing #PMT on any mobile phone. However, if you decide to pay your bill over the phone through Customer Service, via credit card, debit card, gift card or checking account, you will be charged an Agent Assistance Fee of $10.

And why exactly do you charge this fee?

We do not want you to pay n agent assist fee when making payment. That is the last we want. You can completely avoid this by using the self-serve options.  My Verizon App, My Verizon website, One time payment (https://www.verizon.com/digital/nsa/nos/ui/payment/otp/login#/), or IVR Self-serve (calling to use voice assistant). Let us know if you have additional Verizon questions we can address for you today.
