I just wanted to share a personal story of my mother without service for 48 hours... 89 years old, with vision and hearing impairment, has moved to a new apartment in the same building. I have filed a work order for her phone transfer on Friday, 8/1/14 and was told that the service at the old place will be disconnected at midnight and by 6 PM the service will working at the new place. At the end of the promised period, Verizon has informed me there is a problem in the building and the technician has been scheduled for Sunday morning, 8/3/14. Technician has arrived, fixed the issue in the phone closet and informed me that the service will not be available for another 24 hours because it wasn't "programmed" and the earliest it will be on Monday, 8/4/14.
My mother lives alone. Now she has no phone service and no medical alert line working because there is no phone service. She never had a cell phone and she does not know how to use it. When I called Verizon support they said there is nothing they can do except wait for the central office to do the "programming". I hope that people of Verizon know what the remote access is and how to use it so the elderly won't become a victim of Verizon's ignorance.
