Well, I was with AllTel and I loved it.  They were bought out by Verizon and the Service, Coverage, and Customer Service is Terrible.  Verizon is a Terrible Company!   The Phone they sold me hardly works, goes dead in 2 hours and had dead spots all over town!  Horrible Phone and Horrible Service.    I just got a call to sign in and get a rebate, when i sign it, there is no mention of a rebate.  This is simple harassment.  I would do anything to have AllTel Back.   Verizon is Horrible.  I would never sign up again, and when my contracts are up I am out of here.

Ok i'll bite.

No to answer your question. Been with them way before they were called Verizon, their coverage cannot be matched, their data speeds are excellent (I still have unlimited) my calls are crisp and clear, my devices are trouble free, their corporate store I do business with has excellent customer service and in stock selections. I have not called for any issues so I cannot say how phone support is. My invoice is correct, my accessory purchases are always at the store and if out of stock the store finds it locally or ships it two day FedEx.

So no complaint on my service with verizon wireless. Why ask the question as you did when you never said just what your issues are.

Good Luck

I was all about Verizon with good cell service for years.  Then when I expanded with an iPhone for my wife and dropping hard line internet access for a 4G router based on the pitch from a sales person only to find that the guarantee for service was false and I cannot even keep connection with internet or email.   It is costing me way more than I was told and no one will help.  I cannot even find someone to email or call for help. 

How's that?

I am going to assume that you would have researched the difference between 4G LTE modem service versus Broadband internet? Broadband is much more stable, weather does not normally affect it, and speeds are a gazillion times faster than a 4G router.

Get rid of that modem, it was never meant to be used as exclusive internet connectivity.

You also are automatically shut down after a certain period of time. And you are using limited data and overages will cost much money as you must already know.

You made the mistake by being deceived into the purchase. You had the final choice, you as we all made a mistake. Its being human no shame involved.

*611 or 1-800-922-0204 for customer service. There is a chat feature on line http://www.verizonwireless.com but I read its terrible getting anyone via that method. But hey try it.

Go back and get Broadband service again, get a wireless router for anywhere between $40-$300 and then have the phones hook via wifi but not through the verizon device. Turn off cellular data when at home and strickly use wifi. This way you won't incur huge data charges.

Good Luck

I finally reached a customer service rep that seemed to care, a little.

No Rebate, but, She made it possible for me to get a new phone a little

early at a cost of nearly $50.00.  Not exactly happy, but compared to

previous experiences, it works.  Hopefully this new LG Phone will have

better reception in the 33903 area.  It may even work in the Blairsville

Georgia Area where my families cabin is.  It does not work at all anywhere

in that area.  (Very Dangerous to be in the mountains with no

communications at all!)  Alltell worked fine allover Blairsville, even

inside my cabin, but Verizon is practically non-existent.  My pad worked on

X1 service intermittently.  For a week I was nearly completely out of touch

with my radio station and family which caused all kinds of grief for me.  I

am the Assistant Program Director for 92.5 FOX News and must be able to

remote in if the station goes off the air.  That is why I purchased the pad

from you.  When an emergency would arise we would drive from parking lot to

parking lot looking for Open Wifi Systems!  Ridiculous.  I pay nearly

$200.00 a month for a service that does not work and makes me very

frustrated almost daily.  I asked if you guys had a phone that gets a

higher level of reception and was told no.  I asked if I could get a phone

with an antenna, and was told there is no more of those.  I asked for some

of my money back because the service was useless to me and was also told

no!  I have made a payment arrangement for Friday.  I receive my new phone

on Tuesday.  If the new phone is no better I will be leaving and I have no

intention of paying the outstanding balance as Verizon did not meet

contract obligations to me.  I will challenge any negative credit reports.

I have a friend that also has a Cabin in Blairsville and he gets G4

Service IN HIS CABIN on his AT&T Service.

This is just a long time with no answers.  I rarely stay with a service

that is not living up to expectations or promises, but I don't want you

dinking my credit.  It is a Catch 22 you have us all in.   I have also had

issues with battery life of under 2 hours on a full charge (I assume

because the radio packet has to transmit at 100% just to reach one of your

tower sites).

Also several recent changes have not worked properly until I call back

several times.   Your rep failed to instruct me to reset my phone and I

missed several important calls, one kept our station off the air for more

than 30 minutes, causing me disciplinary action at work, unacceptable.

Verizon has cost me a lot of money and a lot of time.  I should get a

rebate or something.  When I got the call the other day that you were in

fact extending me a rebate I was excited, you were finally living up to you

end of the bargain.  Then I was told no, that was a scam that Verizon did

not warn us about.   I was really pissed off yet again!

Another Issue.  I went to your Verizon Store last year and the Clerk talked

me into upgrading to a smart phone.  He told me that he had worked it so it

would not cost me any more.  That Was A LIE!  My bill went up more than

$40.00 a month.  When I went back the man no longer worked there, but they

could not do anything to reverse or fix it.  I had to eat it.  Pissed again!

How am I suppose to feel after this kind of experience.  All that money and

I get very little in return, while friends on other networks are paying

less and getting much much more.  My frustration level has reached it's

breaking point.

We will see what happens Tuesday..   I have sent in several additional

requests including this one for Money Back to compensate me for the

repeated negative experiences, loss of productivity, Loss of pay, trouble

at work, loss of time and repeated frustration that I have experienced.

Let's see if Verizon actually cares about me as a customer and gives me

some of my money back!!!!!

I patiently await your response!
