I just want to say how incredibly disappointed I am with Verizon as a whole & the humanity of its customer service reps . 12 days post due date my services were suspended -yes I know my bill was late . I tried calling to speak with a rep bc when has that ever been a policy ? In my 3 years of being with Verizon I had never experienced this ! The automated system would not let me speak to a human rep until I made a payment . So I did (over drafting my account not that itโ€™s there problem or that they care) , then called again ; I explained to the lady that my services were suspended & that I donโ€™t understand why considering it hadnโ€™t even been close to a month past due . She explained that there is a 14 day grace period from your due date . I then I asked when my due date was for confirmation she explained โ€œthe 28th of each monthโ€ . She also tells me โ€œyou shouldnโ€™t play around with paying your phone billโ€ & that she could โ€œrestart auto pay for meโ€ I explained that up until this return payment I was on auto pay , that the problem was there wasnโ€™t enough money in the account & thatโ€™s why it did not process . & asked again why my services were suspended considering it had only been 12 days . Also add that the online system would not let me make a promise to pay for the account for any given date . The bill was going to be paid on January 11th . Again I know this is not their problem . She puts me on hold , comes back a few moments later & states โ€œwe have gone over the service interruption, & the services have already been restored & I have restarted your auto pay & they payment will come out the 21st is there anything else I can assist you withโ€ first of all , you didnโ€™t answer my question about the disconnect at all , secondly I did not ask you to redstart auto pay  , I paid 228$ today to restore services , the total for the next bill is 270$ because of late payment & return payment fee , & my feb bill is now sitting at 326$ because of the 80$ reconnect fees for each of my 4 lines . She interrupts me asking โ€œyes or no should I cancel the auto payโ€ so rude . I ask to be transferred .she transfers me , the new lady telling me she doesnโ€™t have the authorization to speak to me because the account is in my husbands name (he has added me AT LEAST 4 times as an authorized user . Via the Mobil app , in store , & over the phone ! I ask to be transferred to a supervisor. She transfers - this person tells me they can not speak to me as I am not authorized- but they can tell me that โ€œIโ€™m not sure who gave you the information of a 14 day grace period but that is simply untrue . If you are one day late you can be suspendedโ€ what ?!? A customer of years who has paid her bills ; who is already unsatisfied in the fact my husbands line canโ€™t be upgraded without a outrageous down payment because โ€œthe trade in amount is applied monthly & you still have to pay for the device upfront & you donโ€™t have enough financing credit availableโ€ & you can not show an ounce of compassion or humanity . Even if nothing can actually be done being a nice human being is FREE . We opted for paying for the slightly higher bill for the better service & the original better customer service . But no more . I have NEVER been treated so poorly & unheard by a rep . & this company does nothing but add fees constantly . 0/5 stars .

I agree Verizon has become one of the worst companies to deal with. I have used their service for over 20 years, and I will not renew with them ever again, because of how my last three interactions with them have gone. They just suspended my service because they owe me a credit But theyโ€™ve been telling me theyโ€™re going to apply to my account since the first. My phone doesnโ€™t even work to call  the *611 for another representative to blow more smoke up my butt. Iโ€™m so disappointed in this whole company theyโ€™re not even offering to do anything for any of my inconvenience just literally credit what theyโ€™ve overcharged me but theyโ€™ve made my life a living nightmare for months itโ€™s ridiculous. Iโ€™m just gonna go get a new phone with someone else and forget they ever existed at this point.

Bill are set much higher, as indicated in the tariffs. 50% more. Their employees can't even answer: where do I get additional expenses? I don't recommend using Verizon.
