Happy for over 7 yrs…Until now
I've been with Verizon for over 7 yrs without a single issue…until the last couple of months. Recently I've had issues with very slow phone connections. Additionally, I wanted to upgrade the phone I bought from Verizon. As far as the connection problems, after suffering through a confusing phone tree system I finally was able to connect with a service rep. His only suggestion was resetting phone network options, which did nothing, service is still having problems. Regarding attempts to purchase a new phone, their web site keeps logging out of my account when I hit various links including those for new phone devices and the BYOP page. [FYI - I’m a former director of web design and development for another company.] Called customer service severals times beginning in early June and each time they've acknowledged the ongoing web site problem. As of this writing (August 27th) it's still not fixed! Decided instead to try calling sales department directly to see if they could assist with getting a new device and two times my calls were disconnected. Reps stated they would call back if call was dropped and they never did. Then tried three times to speak to someone via their Live Chat on computer: Once they took 5-8 mins between each response and after 30 mins of not even being able to ever get to the point of asking my question I gave up. Another time chat box disconnected the conversation. And the last time, the chat box broke down completely while texting with rep with an automated response popping up saying it "doesn't know the answer to my question." (??) I don't know what's happened to Verizon internally, but it went from a company I previously was very satisfied with to a horrible mess that is falling apart on all fronts involving their customer technical and web support as well as sales operations. They’ve lost a once loyal customer.
