I am reposting this forum post because it was locked and I am unable to respond or voice my concerns on this subject. I am very confused as to why this has been locked.
I recently purchased a new iPhone at the Verizon store in Hoboken NJ 2 months ago, and the VERIZON SALES REPRESENTATIVE told me that I was eligible to receive a free iPad, that the service was included with my new phone, that my bill would remain the same, with the exception of the cost my new phone being included in the new bill. I asked several times if it actually free with no strings attached, and would I see any additional charges for it on my monthly bill. He told me I would see a new phone number affiliated with the tablet but no additional cost.
Now my bill includes the cost of the "FREE" iPAD: $459.99
As well as a MONTHLY PLAN of $20!
I have been with Verizon for almost 20 years and am shocked!
CAN VERIZON PLAESE REACH OUT TO ME?

I accept all terms and conditions
The exact same thing has happened to me. Now they are billing me for my “free” iPad and Iwatch over 36 months. I have been so frustrated with this purchase it really wasn’t worth it. I had to go back to the store 5 times to get issues straightened out. I was charged more state taxes than the item even cost - twice. I’ve been with Verizon 12 years and have never had issues until now. Many of my friends have left Verizon due to their customer service and I will be joining them if I don’t get this straightened out. And to think they want to charge me $10 to talk to a live person! Thats the stupidest thing I’ve heard. I may switch anyway just because of the horrible customer service.

I have the same the problem and have not received a resolution
I have been on the phone with 3 different representatives, 2 told me they are filing a case and whenever I call back poof there is no case on record. Another tried to adjust my bill but told me it was no longer possible and when I asked to speak to a manager or someone else who is higher up she said no one else can do anything more. If there is a problem with the computer system I expect the issue to be resolved in another way, that the iPad charges are taken off any future bills because now I have been charged 2 more times for the free iPad after having brought the problem to their attention. And the person in store, even though someone in his store make the mistake, says I have to talk to customer service they can't do anything. I also plan to switch providers due to this, because I am being charged $600 for a free ipad!!
