Gateway router refund

[celiayau]

I have an almost exactly the same issue as this other thread (see link below).  

I ordered new FiOS service with a new router, and realized I may use my own router, so I dropped off the new router (obtained receipt etc.), but the charge is not taken off my bill.  I called and the rep told me I may just ignore the router charge and they will be removed eventually, but I am not sure if that is true.  Please advise.

Depending on where you dropped it off to that may be the issue.

in any case I would write a letter send it certified return receipt to Verizon Fios customer service address.

Make a photostat of the receipt and explain you want it off your account pronto.

You can also go here to file a complaint http://www.fcc.gov 

do it under the online complaint process. It will ask for proof. I would scan the receipt of return into your computer or on a thumb drive so as to show the attachment. When it asks you to upload that document.

after this is done Verizon will contact you. 

Good Luck
