transfer line of service problem

I've been trying to transfer a phone number from one account to another, but I keep encountering an error message when I try to accept the terms and conditions. The error message reads, 'We are experiencing a problem connecting you to a server. Please try again later.' I tried again almost two hours later, but the same error message appeared. I also attempted to get assistance from a customer service representative, but they couldn't resolve the issue.

Oh, no! Dealing with number transfer issues can be overwhelming, especially if you keep getting error message after error message for the past two hours. Our goal is to offer the support you need.

 

We want to be on the same page of the book to avoid getting lost in the story. Are you moving a number from one Verizon account to another (known as a Transfer of Service)? Or are you moving the number to another carrier/provider (known as a Port Out)?

How do you get to an actual human and not a computer system that just takes me to the same non working Verizon server that has appeared to be down for the last 6 months?  This is the worse process I have ever seen and since there are so many others with the same un-solved issue it makes me nervous.  Is there a human I can actually talk to that knows what to do?

I did that 3 times and it still directs you online and it still gives you the error.

Iโ€™m having the same issue. Every time I try and accept the terms an error pops up that reads โ€œWe are processing an error while processing your request. Please try again later. The transfer dot was no help. Did you find any resolution in your case? If so please let me know what was the issue and how was it resolved? 

thanks,

Sheri

I am going on my third week of trying to transfer my line from a business account to my husbands personal account. I have called numerous times spoken to probably 10 agents at this point. Tried the same thing online. Multiple INC tickets open. Itโ€™s the worst experience Iโ€™ve ever had with Verizon.at this point it may just be better to switch to another provider. 

let me know if you got it resolved. All I keep getting in response from agents are, โ€œwe had a system update and are encountering this issueโ€ โ€œIโ€™ll call you back if it doesnโ€™t work by todayโ€with no call backs ever. 

three weeks Verizon. SMH.

Hello, Breidy53. My apologies to hear of this experience as transferring your service should always be an easy process. Just to confirm, did they clarify what the issue is with making this change? Have you heard anything regarding the ticket submitted?

C-Welch, are you still experiencing issues with your transfer of service? What specific error message are you receiving? To clarify, are you signed in as an account owner or account manager?
