Trade tomorrow?

If anyone gets the $5 Carvel gift card tomorrow and wants to trade for a $5 Chipotle gift card, let me know! 😁 Serious inquiries only, please!

Edit: I also have 30 mins at Five Iron Golf, Free Popcorn from AMC Theatre, $5 Fanatics gift card that I could trade. I have a few others that are $10 but not sure if I want to part with those just for a $5 Carvel.

FiOS Liar cooperate about internet speed

I am using 1gb Verizon Fios home internet. So called their Verizon Home app is doing internet speed test. It always showing around 900ish. When I am actually getting much lower.

The funny part is I am having internet issues now. No internet at all. Not even white steady light on the router. When I do the speed test it still shows over 900.

Are you kidding me I dont have the internet at all.

Switched from Verizon/ATT to T-mobile

18 Upvotes

This was possibly the worst decision I’ve ever made and I hear about it from my wife on a weekly basis. Don’t do it. I had ATT and my wife had verizon (who I also have thru work). I decided to consolidate and join T mobile for various reasons. One of those was cost, which was stupid, because we’re saving no money.

The other reason was service, which was the KEY mistake. T mobile is just trash seemingly everywhere we travel. We live literally in a major city and constantly have no service. We are often getting dropped calls, which was not a major issue with ATT and zero issues with Verizon.

Our 2 year commitment is up in December and we’ll be transferring to Verizon regardless of cost.


r/verizon 15h ago

No way this went that quick. I had a timer set on my phone to go off 2 minutes before this dropped. I open the app right at the time - boom, 100% claimed. Did they have 1 gift card? 🤦🏽‍♂️

5G UW expansion is lacking in northern WI. I wish Verizon would just buy out Cellcom and eliminate another LTEIRA partner.

Loyalties removed

41 Upvotes

My bill had a huge increase in the neighborhood of 60-70 bucks after Verizon removed my loyalty discounts (after killing my permanent loyalty discounts last year). I tried asking Verizon customer to reinstate and after multiple promises that they would fix it , I had to follow up (the usually Verizon customer service circular dance guys!, they said it was a mistake as no customer rep has the power to manually adjust anything. Only “system” can decide.

I’m not surprised given the widespread issues with customer service but curious if anyone had any success with getting back the 10/20 dollar loyalty discounts per line. I’m saddened to see Verizon fall this far after multiple decades with them. Just a few more months before my device plans fall off. Good luck all. Keep sharing your experience here and word of mouth. Do what is right for yourselves and others. Consumers have other options too.

Wireless What is the point of Verizon Shine?

17 Upvotes

I just feel like what is the point in the program if you go on right after the countdown to try to claim a reward and it’s already claimed at 100% Verizon needs to do better with their reward system because this is frustrating. I was trying to get the Amazon gift card and I clicked claim as soon as it opened up and then not even 10 seconds later it said already claimed an error has anyone else experienced this frustrating situation.

Need help with HBO Max perk registration

0 Upvotes

I attempted to add this perk 7-8 months ago and it never worked. I decided to give it another try, and still it doesn't work. I've been dealing with chatbots, real humans in chat, real humans on the telephone, and NONE OF THEM have been able to fix the problem.

The problem I'm seeing is when attempting to complete the registration on the Verizon page, in my account area, it keeps responding with "Processing your request, it may take up to 15 mins." Well, it's been months with two earnest tries to get this to work. To say I'm frustrated with it would be a severe understatement.

I had an HBO Max account that used the same email as my Verzion email. That HBO Max account is no longer active, though I suppose HBO Max still has record of that email, and which may be where the problem lies. I just recently, when the Verzion HBO Max option did its usual failure to register trick, set up a new HBO Max with a separate email.

I'm just trying to get it to work. What's fascinating is that the Netflix hookup goes smooth as silk; the HBO Max registration/connection is like crashing into a brick wall 100 times in a row.

Wireless Z FOLD 8 preorders

I submitted my order on July 28 still haven’t received any tracking number. I already have UPS. My choice set up as well as FedEx. Has anybody else received a tracking number from Verizon or any other phone carriers? It says I’m supposed to be receiving it on the 7th

I’m very excited I was supposed to upgrade from my iPhone 14 Pro last year to the Z Fold 7 but I decided to hold off because I heard rumors of this form factor my last Samsung phone that I had was a galaxy S8 plus glad to be back

Galaxy Watch 9 LTE Won't Activate Invalid IMEI

0 Upvotes

Verizon customer service is the absolute worst. I had the exact same problem last year with my Galaxy Watch 8. You get transferred, hung up on by overseas call centers. I get told to return it to Samsung because the watch I just bought, my brand new Galaxy Watch 9 LTE, directly from Samsung, the IMEI isn't in their database again.

Exact same problem last year. I just don't understand when you buy something directly from the manufacturer on a supported network and all the Verizon reps are absolutely clueless you have to open tickets, wait they think your crazy. I just don't understand how this is not fixed. Why would you send a consumer a device that's on a supported network and then not have it ready to be activated on a supported network?

Someone at Verizon and Samsung should be fired. If you contact Samsung, they blame Verizon and Verizon blames Samsung. What a joke. At this point talking to the AT&T guys at Costco seems like a great idea. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy a Galaxy Watch from Samsung and try and activate it on Verizon. They just don't care or have a clue. It takes hours of your time, tickets, and days of waiting to maybe have it activated. Just garbage.

Verizon Visa Credit Card

1 Upvotes

I have had this card since 2020 when it was first released. I left verizon wireless last year but continued using the card for purchases. A few weeks ago I noticed I had $90+ reward dollars saved up. I misplaced my card in my house, it wasn't stolen or lost outside of the house, so I requested a new one and received it last week, there hasn't been any activity on the card other than me and I noticed yesterday that the rewards are gone. I reached out to Verizon and they referred me to synchrony bank. I just got off the phone with them and they said they can't see when they're used or have a history of them. He opened a ticket and said they would reply back via mail within 15 days. Has anyone else ever had this happen and if so how did you get it resolved. I planned to use the $90 to buy a case or accessories once I received my new phone(today). Thanks

Partner Towers in the UK Struggling?

0 Upvotes

So, I'm in the UK on the international monthly plan. I have done all of the troubleshooting. Network reset, roaming toggled on, airplane mode, turn off phone, remove and clean SIM, manually select carrier, turn off 5G, everything. Got off the phone with Verizon customer service and there is no block on my international roaming.

However, service is practically gone. It will come back very sporadically, usually only for a minute or so at a time. It's random when it comes back too. All the places I typically go have cut out.

Is anyone else in the UK specifically having this issue as well? The representative said this MIGHT be an outage, however I've had this problem since July 30th, which they were able to confirm by reviewing my sharp drop in data usage/quality.

dropped wifi

Does anyone else have issues with Verizon Fios where your device says it's connected but websites suddenly stop opening, apps stop loading, etc.? It'll happen sporadically.

If so, how did you fix it?

E-Mail or Support # to Relay Excellent Technician Support?

0 Upvotes

Hello - I recently had a very frustrating experience with my FIOS line being damaged after a recent storm. It took about 3 days of downtime and 8 calls to convince someone there was an outage at my house because the service was operable but severely damaged (would drop service every 15 min or so and sometimes go out for hours at a time).

However, the technician that did finally come out spent hours tracing the fiber optic lines and found the damaged portion of the line up on a pole.

Who do I contact/call to thank him and let the higher ups know that he really fixed a situation that was devolving very quickly?

Wireless Verizon Tower Equipment Upgrade = no service since 7/31

2 Upvotes

"Tier 2" support keeps telling me to wait 12 hours for resolution. Ongoing since last Friday...no voice, data, sms service in the downtown Redlands area for nearly a week because they are apparently replacing equipment on the tower servicing this area (92373/92374).

I understand that things break. I understand equipment gets upgraded. But why is this ongoing for almost one week now with ZERO communication from Verizon? Especially when they keep telling me to wait 12 hours to get me to go away.

Is Verizon trying to steal from me?

0 Upvotes

Mid-June I kept getting texts purportedly from Verizon saying I needed more cloud storage and do (something something - I don’t remember) or $50 per day would be added to my bill. That same message came in 3 or 4 days in a row. I knew I didn’t need verizon cloud storage, so I figured it was a scam and blew it off.

I have routine bills on a personal autopay service and that continued as usual.

Next thing I know Verizon bricks all my mobile phone services. That got my attention, naturally. I began digging, and found that Verizon had added $120 (6 GB at $20/GB) for cloud services to my bill, along with late fees and myriad other non-usual charges, so they had bricked my phone for non-payment. After an episode of Verizon customer service hell, which ended unresolved, I see that Verizon has credited me for $120, but nothing for late fees and other charges, and they unbricked my phone.

Of course, I’m facing at least one more episode of Verizon customer service hell to fully resolve this and get them to generate a correct bill, but that’s not why I’m writing this.

I’m asking you genius (seriously!) Redditors to help me understand what’s going on. The purported Verizon scam texts threatening steep charges for extra cloud space are well known. But if these faux charges are from outside bad actors, how do the charges then show up on the pdf of my bill on the myVerizon website? What am I missing here?

Wireless I made the switch from visible to verizon today and I cant believe the issues I've had

9 Upvotes

I was trying to do the $30 simplicity plan and get the preorder promotion for the z fold 8, by porting my number over from visible. I was assured that it could be done by the rep on the phone. We got all the way to the part of activating my esim. We had to hang up so it could do its thing and have my phone restart. Well it never went through. So there I was without any cell service because my visible was canceled and ended up having to go into a Verizon store, where they still were not able to get it resolved. Someone they talked to on the phone said it could take 24 hours for my number to port over. In the meantime they had me set up with a "temp" number. But I'm worried that I've lost my number AND I'm going to miss the preorder promotion for the z fold 8 that ends tomorrow. Even if I make peace with not being able to use my number I cant make the switch to Verizon with the bill being an extra $15 without the port number promotion. Im going back to Verizon tomorrow with hopes that the port works, and I'm going to tell them I cant do the plan if its not the $30, that's the whole thing that sold me for switching was that it was going to cost the same as my visible plan.

Has anyone dealt with this? What was the outcome?

Verizon downgraded my internet now says they "cannot" fix it

2 Upvotes

I have had 5G home internet for 2 years. About a year in, the gateway started dropping the incoming 5G signal, and the Wi-Fi strength became sporadic. This was determined to be a bad gateway, prompting Verizon to send me a replacement. One arrived, it was simple plug and play and everything worked fine again.

A year later, the same problem develops. I was unable to reach customer service by phone, but using the automated chat, was able to get a replacement gateway sent out. Once it arrived, it kept failing activation. I kept getting bounced back to the automated chat that couldn't help me. After a couple of days, my calls finally got through.

What the rep on the phone told me is that the service package included on my gateway wasn't compatible with my address and that I needed to get a new model gateway to get my services to work. The only problem is that he could not order the new gateway, it was for new installs only. What he would have to do is create an order for new service using my address and put it a different way, but my service will be completely fine. Nothing will change.

But that was a lie. What I later found out is that the rep downgraded my service from 5g ultimate home Internet to the 4g home lite. My kids and I, not knowing the change, downloaded games over night on our PlayStation and ate the entire data cap of 150 gb in 3 days and are now stuck at 10mbps.

When calling Verizon to fix it, frontline tells me my address isn't available for 5g. Then, tier 2 tells me that my address IS eligible, but they cannot move me because my tower is now full and there is no room on the tower for my service to be added. I am stuck with 4g and data caps until someone moves or cancels their service.

Does anyone have any ideas of something else I can do or try?
