As my 3G LG flip became obsolete, Verizon gave me an Orbic 4G flip phone that does not work. After many hours on the phone to customer service and in person at the Verizon store, they finally agreed to send me a replacement for the Orbic flip phone. They sent me a different flip phone, a TLC flip phone. Unfortunately the new phone came without a battery, a charger or a back to the phone (the back to the Orbic phone will not fit the TLC phone) I have been without a mobile phone now for almost two months, this after 22 years with Verizon. They really suck

We trusted the rep at the Verizon store who told us we’d get $700 for trading in our old Google Pixels to upgrade. That was a lie. According to the fine print, what we are actually receiving is a $20 discount on our device payments every month for 3 years. If we pay off early, or upgrade early, the balance of the $700 trade in value will be forfeited.

Customer service is totally impotent, disconnected from customer accounts far enough that they cannot make this right. The only course of action is to file a dispute for arbitration.

This is how it feels to be a dog on Verizon’s leash 🤡
