Phone unresponsive, completely cut off, Every way to reach verzon does not work. Please Help. Completly isolated

[Dont_LetMe_Die_Onhold]

My phone will not respond to my touch.  When I restart, it will not accept any number.  I can hear phone calls but it will not allow me to answer.

I log on to Verizon Support.  Every choice steers me to a bot.  The bot gives me 4 choices.  It promises I will speak with a live agent but none ever shows up.  Sometimes it tells me I AM talking to a live agent but when I type, the BOT responds.  After a while I get a message to press OK if I still want to be connected, but it ignores when I do.

I can't dial 611.  I can't dial the 800 number, but when I've done that in the past I only get a message that they are closed/after hours.  That's before Covid, at noon, on a weekday.

I've tried Twitter.  They don't respond.

I'm not that familiar with Facetime or Skype, but have tried and only get call failed.

I'm a Senior, who is isolated with multiple problems.  I live alone and now cannot communicate with anyone.

I need some way to text/email/chat with Verizon where someone responds. 

I can't even dial 911.  Completely shut off.

I am having same issue!  Phone is dark and can't do anything when my phone vibrates when someone calling or texting.  Please help.

BTW... just happened while walking.  No damage.  No water.  Nothing.  Just went black.

deeann622, this is never how we want your phone to behave. I have sent you a Private Message to discuss this further. Also for future reference, we do have support team available in several locations: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/contact-us/ (scroll towards bottom) Our hours have changed, though, due to everything occurring with COVID-19. This is why you have received BOTS more than usual. We do apologize.

I’m having the same issue! I can’t get the Samsung s7 to do anything! I’m completely without a phone! Couldn’t reach anyone at Verizon.

Good morning, happylady2. We're here for your support needs, so I'm sorry you've been unable to reach us. When did the issues start with your phone? Any recent changes or damage?
