FCC Regulation change of ring time to NO more than 30 seconds.

I was informed 7/31/11 by a Verizon Store Manager and staff member that:

 

      "FCC Regulations allow NO more than 30 seconds of ring time".

 

 

Anyone else run into this problem? 

 

Before making a purchase, I did my research.  My previous LG Verizon phone lasted 10 years!  I requested and discussed longer ring time, because I suffered missed calls.  Several staff members (including two managers), told me standard ring time was 45 seconds, but assured me that I could have it increased and would make note of it in my account.  So, I signed a 2-year contract the end of May 2011.

 

I now receive only 20 seconds of ring time!  My efforts to resolve my complaint have been unsuccessful.  Moreover, I am handicapped and disabled. 

 

Unfortunately, this does not matter to Verizon and they say, "It's NOT us... it's the government who is making the change in airtime".   I feel that Verizon lied by omission and do NOT protect the rights of customers with extenuating circumstances. 

 

New buyers beware.
