I just spent the last 3 1/2 hours texting and talking with Verizon reps, both in customer care and rebate department. Customer care agreed that I should get the rebate, but the rebate department said I am out of luck.
I just brought over 4 devices from AT&T. The offer states that you need to port in your old number, bring your own device, add a new line and pick from one of the unlimited plans, except starter unlimited. It states you need to do it within 30 days of activation and the device needs to remain active for 45 consecutive days, which I did. It nowhere in the offer states that you have to keep the ported in number, just that you have to initially bring in the number. Verizon is trying to get people to bring their phones over and keep a plan, why in the world would it matter if I keep my phone number?!! It has now supposedly been escalated and I’m supposed to hear back within 14 days. So ridiculous!! This is unethical in my opinion and may warrant a change to my service….
Here’s the offer:
Online and telesales only.
