Phone color not correct on account

TLDR: My account says my current pigging is a BLACK S10+ but its NOT! It's Prism BLUE.

So frustrated. Trying to upgrade my phone but the phone on my account is the wrong color. I paid off this phone and brought it with me to Verizon last year. This is the only phone I've had. Has never been serviced. It's Prism Blue but my account says it's black. Wasted over 4 hours going through the awful chats, with 5 (?) different people only to hear,  "it's a glitch" and there's nothing they can do. So instead of figuring out the problem they say: tough luck.

I want to upgrade but I'm not trading in my phone since it doesn't match what's on my account. IMEI matchs but since the color doesn't match my account I'm not risking them saying it's not the correct phone that I'm upgrading. How can they just waste hours of time with no real solution!

I'm not risking getting hit with fees and not getting the proper value. I might just switch carriers at this point. Can't troubleshoot one problem? #Frustrating #Glitch #account

I would suggest going to your local Verizon store and have them help you walk thru the issues in person then waste any more time on here, with Verizon reps thru chat, and/or even trying to speak with a rep. over the phone.  Just saying....

Same thing is happening to me right now! I was trying to make a claim for the FIRST time ever because unfortunately my back glass broke yesterday and my account has my phone listed as black even though I bought it FROM Verizon. It’s also blue. My claim said my phone had to be the correct color, so I adjusted it because “my device wasn’t listed” and it said I had to pay for mother line for insurance! I have been paying insurance on this phone for over a year. I REALLY hope they make this right. 😖

Hey there, MasSprad, it's definitely important that you are able to get your phone replaced. Have you been able to complete your insurance claim? Please let us know if you are running into any issues, we can definitely check your account to verify your coverage.

I can't speak for whether or not trading in this phone would be problematic, but if this phone was a bring your own device not purchased through Verizon, your account will not display all the details concerning the phone.  I have a similar situation where my phone doesn't even have a picture in my account.  There's just a generic "Image Coming Soon" graphic under the phone's name.
