Bill keeps changing to higher price

Seems I cannot get things straight with Verizon... I have talked to a couple of Customer reps who understood my situation and have helped me get a price that resembles what the sales rep,  that sold us the phones we have, said we would get. We were told that by trading in our old iPhones we would receive them as a free trade... He never said we would be in contract for 33 months and promised our bill would remain under $180.00 monthly...

I have had to pay up to 209.00 until I called twice to get the bill reduced... The two or three times I called, the rep helped me get to a more reasonable bill, only to find out it was increased again to the level I was paying before I called. 

Why???

I still have not heard anything from you. I need to know what my future bills are going to be. I was told this monthโ€™s bill increased but that future bills would remain lower than what I have been payingโ€ฆ

This is the 2nd month Iโ€™ve been told itโ€™s a one time charge. My bill has been over $400 for two Months. Whatโ€™s happening?

Hello, zoso89, we want to help ensure that the charges on your account are correct! You mentioned a particular charge on your statement that was supposed to be a one-time charge. Can you let us know what charge you are referring to?

I am new to Verizon and I am having the same issue what was originally $131 roughly was supposed to be $110 with auto pay. Auto pay bumped me off and I called Verizon to get it fixed. The agent helped me and was very kind and then the next month the same thing happened again. I was assured that I would be able to enroll in auto pay for my next bill but then to my surprise I received my bill which is now almost $150 without any explanation. Itโ€™s not what I agreed to and itโ€™s not very pleasing seeing as I left my previous phone company of 11+ years because of the promises that Verizon made. Weโ€™ve been too busy this past week to give a call about our last bill being nearly $40 over. And it looks like next month it goes up even more a couple dollars. It really just feels like a rip off and Iโ€™ve yet to get any answers. Despite speaking to pretty friendly staff.

Iโ€™ve had to call every month since getting my new phone which has been almost 8 months because they keep raising the bill and changing it. Itโ€™s gone from 208 to 253. Iโ€™m about to switch carriers because thereโ€™s no way it should be changing and itโ€™s a waste of time to keep calling each month

Iโ€™m with you on that. My bill keeps going up. They decrease it always with your new plan but then in time they raise it up. I believe itโ€™s a way to get you to go to there next plan they want you to be at. Iโ€™ve been a customer for 19 years and Iโ€™m starting to think they donโ€™t really appreciate your loyalty. Iโ€™m thinking of going to AT&t to get honest

Unfortunately when my contract is up with Verizon I will be leaving. Iโ€™ve been using Verizon since the early 00โ€™s and eventually switched from my parents plan when I was of age to my own and just been screwed ever since. I downgraded my plan to the most basic plans available to reduce the bill to around $143 and then out of no where this coming months bill is going back up to $165 like I never changed my plan, what the heck was even the point??? Not only that the deal I was given 2 years ago was if I got an iPhone 13 I would get the 12 for free for an additional line, except it wasnโ€™t free and Iโ€™m โ€œpaying off the deviceโ€ according to the plan, so I canโ€™t cancel that 2nd line because 1) itโ€™s not in use, and 2) they wanna ask for $300 to cancel it.  I never am one to complain but this has gotten ridiculous. Corporate greed has run rampant and Verizon is at the front and center of it when it comes to phone service. The couple times Iโ€™ve called itโ€™s a different story every time.  Iโ€™m just about over it.
