Phone not working for the 5th time

[mikalsan]

I am so happy with my fios service.  Now for the 5th time our phone does not work.  We regularly cant recive calls, and sometimes cant call out.  Each time we call (with cell) they say nothing is wrong and will send a tech out days later and an hour before the tech is supposed to show up, it suddenly starts working again.  A week later it stops working, and we go through the same ordeal.  I wonder who they cut off, whent hey turn ours on, and who gets service when they cut ours off.  Its like they play musical chairs with our phone service.  Sometimes we get incomming calls, sometimes outgoing, but hardly ever both.  **bleep**?  Now waiting another 8 days for them to send someout out because right now we dont even have a ring tone.  Please just fix the problem, or stop charging us the $30 for the service.  What a sham.  Oh, and to top it all off,t his week, Verizon Wireless also assigned my wifes account/phone number to someone elses contract.  She has had the number for over 10 years, I just bought her a new iPhone (full price $900) and when we went the store a man by the name of Carlos told us to pound sand.  He had given the line to someone else and the only way he would fix it is if we returned the phone we bought from Verizon online, and bought a phone in his store!!!  Can you believe it.  Carlos would not give her line back unless she bought a phone in his store.
