    Oct 4, 2012
    Pros: Lots of cool services
    Cons: No idea how to manage their services or support them.

    Summary: Verizon customer service is a flat out joke. No one that is reached through chat has any idea about how to service its own products. I VERY OFTEN have to tell the online rep what to do just to get to an end resolve. The verizon.com and .net websites and ... read more

    Pros: Great coverage
    Cons: Call quality. Price/data. Slow data.

    Feb 18, 2012
    Pros: None.  Literally None.
    Cons: LIARS - No one in their customer service tells the truth.

    Summary: Signed up for a new cel phone, which I purchased through Amazon, as it was wildly cheaper than through Verizon.  I set up the plan via Amazon, and confirmed it by voice -twice- with Verizon.  This plan, since I have a brain in my head, included ... read more

    Cons:

    All of the above.
