How about Verizon noticing that there's a pandemic

[deutschzilla]

How about instead of sending out threatening messages about late payments and fines, verizon shows its customers that it cares by doing something to help us during these trying times. Many of us are out of work, furloughed or in a hole caused by this virus that we can't get out of. Wouldn't it be nice if Verizon took a stand to help us through this by deferring our payments. We all need to stay connected right now and threats from verizon only make us re-think who are provider really is.

You are absolutely right, deutchzilla! We want to help out as much as possible. We are committed to keeping our customers connected during this time. We aren't charging late fees and we are not suspending service for non-pay. Take a look here how we are helping: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/covid-19-faqs/ Under the "Important information and special offers" paragraph 1 has a link to take you to fill out a short form so your service isn't interrupted. I hope that helps. Stay safe and healthy!
