I just joined by getting a new phone, a new phone number, and I'm on the plan(s). It seems like whomever had my phone number before me must have gotten constant phone calls from telemarketers. 🙂
That can happen on any carrier. I am lucky my number was our in house number for 35yrs. My phone only accepts calls from people in my address book. I figure if it's an emergency outside of that they will leave a message. I have had no issues with my service over the years. Buy my phone outside of a Verizon store and pay cash for it so payments or discounts for a free phone not an issue. Service works excellent every where I travel. In Alaska had full bars at every port. Unlimited calling and texting while in Canada and signal was excellent there before the pandemic. I am probably one of the odd ones because I have no issues.

I chose Verizon Wireless for their coverage. Even my brief experience with AT&T only confirmed my experience that Verizon Wireless had the better coverage at the time.

To answer your question you only need to read through the forum to see the numerous complaints about Verizon not honoring their promotions and their epic customer service failures.
As you can quickly see from reading through this forum, Verizon has a pattern of failing to honor their promotions and burdening their customers with unnecessary aggravation and frustration. Unfortunately, you will likely waste hours on useless customer service calls attempting to get this resolved so please make sure to file claims with FTC (“reportfraud.ftc.gov”) and FCC (“consumercomplaints.fcc.gov”). Also be sure to warn any colleagues, classmates, friends, and family members that may be considering Verizon.
The people who seek out the carrier’s forum are more likely to be having an issue or have a question about their service with that carrier. They don't represent a majority of the actual customer base.

For coverage, yes. For support? Steer clear of chat and stores. The former rarely knows what they are doing and the latter only cares about getting a commission. Although the same can be said for any sales rep regardless of company.
As for complaints. Majority are from people who are too lazy to check their bill, not take responsibility for their own phone usage because it generated an expensive bill, sign things without reading and not read promo details so they post "X is a scam" threads.
Other common complaints are from entitled people who think they deserve a free thousand dollar phone for paying their bill. We have a former Alltel account. If Best Buy won't give me a free Macbook Pro for using them since I was a kid, I don't expect Verizon to get me a free iPhone 12.
Usernames_all_taken, let me start by welcoming you to the Verizon family! We are lucky to have you. We know unwanted calls are never a fun thing to have to deal with. We do offer our Call Filter as an option. You may check out more about it here: https://www.verizon.com/support/call-filter-faqs/
