Prepaid plans
Madwolf69
Newbie

I've been a loyal Verizon contract customer for 5 years and now a loyal prepaid customer for 2 years. So explain why for me to get on the new data plans where I get more data for the same amount that I'm paying for less I have to buy a new phone. Now I'm left feeling sad and screwed by Verizon. (Somebody please explain because this sounds like unloyal customer service to me)!!

No that didn't answer my question. My question is, I'm already paying $45 a

month for unlimited talk,txt and1GB of data but my plan automatically

renews every month so I get an extra 1GB but Verizon changed there prepaid

plans so that now a new customer paying $45 a month gets unlimited talk,txt

and 3GB of plus one free GB if there plan automatically renews. Verizon

wireless says I can't get this plan because I'm already an existing loyal

customer who has 2 phones and or accounts and I want to know why because of

being loyal I can't get a better plan. It seems like I'm being cheated when

I'm spending the same money as a new customer and getting way less service.

That just doesn't seem like good business.

Let's look at this together. You have the option of moving to any currently offered prepaid plans that we offer. As a new or existing customer, we currently offer the $30.00, $45.00, or $60.00 plan. http://www.verizonwireless.com/prepaid/smartphone-plans/?intcmp=INT-SEA-NON-AC-prepaid-051915-DE-SR-...

phone I will be happy to give you my contact information.

Madwolf69 we want to make sure that all options are reviewed for you. I recommend reaching out directly to our prepaid department as we are unable to access prepaid accounts via this avenue. You can do so by dialing *611 from your cell phone or by doing the following:


•    From a landline please call 1-877-777-5759.
•    Press 1 for English
•    Enter in your phone number
•    You will hear the balance and renewal data
•    You will hear the amount of data used
•    Press 2 for the Main menu
•    Press 4
•    Press 6
•    Press 4

My prepaid phone will work on any of the plans. What I wanted to is upgrade

my plan to one of the new service plan but the customer rep that I talked

to at Verizon said I couldn't get the plan I wanted with out buying a new

phone. The rep told me that the plan I wanted was only for new customers or

customers who where buying new phones.

You also seem to be mistaken on the price of these new plans.

Verizon's current prepaid plans have you getting 1 GB on the $45/month plan with 1 GB of additional data for auto-renew. You get 3 GB on the $60/month plan with 1 GB of additional data for auto renew.Smiley Happy

for prepaid plans

You can change your data allotment at the end of the month, since, doing so beforehand will require another month's payment.  As does activating another phone...you have to pay another month.  ALWAYS make plan and device changes on the last day of your Prepaid cycle.

I'm betting that, if you have more than 1 line and any other line is on a contract plan, that maybe the rep misunderstood what you were trying to upgrade...plan or device.

Verizon won't call you. You'll have to call them.  But you'll unfortunately have to call pre paid services. Do so during standard US business hours to avoid outsourced support.

I will call during standard U.S. business hours but the last time I called

during the work week in the middle of the day I still was put on the phone

with foreigners

I called CS over this the day after these new plans came out. I was told they will fill out paperwork to add my existing prepaid acct to the new data allotments. I went into the store the next day to verify this. I was told if it's not changed in 3 business days to come back. I went back last week letting them know my data allotment didn't change. I spoke to the store supervisor. He called CS and was told that it will change when my new month rolls over. I hope it does because if it doesn't, I'll file a dispute with my credit card and go back to Straight Talk!

You're on pre paid. So...you paid for a month before the change. Pre paid is monthly so....it'll start on the next month.
