Issues with Verizon

rsd317

I am currently having major issues with Verizon. Let me give you guys some background; I signed up in January 2004 with the lg 6000 (ok phone had some some minor issues with the screen)…anyway swapped that out twice…..after a few months of using that phone I lost it. Luckily a buddy of mine had an extra Samsung a530 9another decent phone but also had problems with the screen blacking out (swapped twice), the second time they did not have it in a local store so I told them to mail it to me…when I received the phone, the speaker did not work…back to the verizon store…woo hooo….this time they gave me a brand new unopened lg vx45000 which was pretty happy with…until…I had no service where other verizon phones were getting min 2 bars….so instead ...

well to be honest they dont make the phones, lg or samsung or whoever does so if they are trying to help u with maybe a new phone as a courtesy thats fine but they didnt make the phone so why is it their fault? all they can do is provide service to u if a phone is faulty they will assist u in trying to get another one that does work. the contract says equipment issues are not a valid reason to get out of the contract

Do you think phones are free. The a530 that your friend gave you should of never been replaced because you didnt buy the phone yet the phone was switched out for you. Be greatfull that you are getting the phones swapped as opposed to being upset at whatever VZW does.

I think you should swap the phone out.

I am going to go call my cable company and request that they replace my t.v. because it no longer works. After that I need to place a call to my internet provider so that I can request a new computer because I have some viruses on this one that I should be compensated for.

resposibility, maybe verizon should step up and produce some better phones...these were good solid phones that crapped...great analogy by the way...apples and oranges...i can go out and buy a crappy hdtv, thats my decision not the cable companies, i can download porn adn get spyware, my decision..with verizon thugh their decision and i sitll think i should be compensated, how many models and swap outs do before they do soemthing

VZW does not produce the phones... The manufacturer does...

The analogy was perfect... You my friend are an idiot... Allow me to prove this mathematically if I may:

Take your current Age, subtract ten years... Were you smart back then? No, you were a god damn idiot and chances are you're as much an idiot now... It'll just take you ten more years to realize it.

VZW gave you the convenience of swapping out your phone... They could have told you to deal with the manufacturer directly... They didn't... They tried to assist you... Unfortunately, the other phones crapped out... Not their fault. They are still willing to replace the phone i'm sure. They could just step up and be like... You've already had six replacements... Deal with it,...

Hey buddy...
Your cable company does not make the cable box that you use. Yet, when your cable box craps out; the cable company gives you a new one.
WHY? Well, because you are paying them a monthly fee for their service and it is their responsibility to allow you to have access to the service you are paying for. So, as for Verizon... it is their responsibility to make sure that their customers can use the phone service they are paying for.

Verizon should replace these phones and let the customer know that they are sorry and will take the matter up with the cell phone manufacturer... because as a good company, they should want to keep their customers happy so they stay loyal. Hopefully after that, Verizon would reap hell on the cell p...

Hey moron... they replace the cable box for you because they own it and lease it to you. When one goes bad they replace it with another one, but if you cancel service with them you had better damn well take it back to them. Would you like it if Verizon started leasing the phones to its customers?

When you lease a car and it breaks out of warranty... you have to pay for it to get fixed. Cable companies could charge you to come replace the broken box, but they dont. WHY? Because you are paying them a monthly fee for a service and without the box you could not use the service. Same thing with cell phones.

Verizon sells you the cell phone, your not going and buying it directly from LG or Motorola... Verizon is the company your buying the phone from, when you purchase this phone from Verizon you trust that they are selling you something reliable. It may not be Verizon's fault that the phone broke, but it is their responsibility to take care of their customers... They act as the middle man when you buy a phone from them, they sure ...

First of all, I do not work for Verizon. Second, I'm probably more educated than you. Third, your comparison between a car and a cable box is ridiculous. Very few car leases extend beyond the warranty of the vehicle, and cars are also subject to a normal amount of wear and tear that occurs even when the car is being driven responsibly. If you run it into a telephone pole, you alone are responsible for fixing it. If you drop your cable box off of the roof, I guarantee that the cable company will charge you for it.

Now, as far as the middle man goes... I work at a store that sells digital cameras. We are a middle man for Canon, Fuji, Olympus, etc. Those companies provide warranties on their products. If something goes wrong after si...

And cable companies are the most hated industry in the nation... So apparently doing that for their customers does not change anything.

The proble here is you don't realize it does not insure customer loyalties... Every carrier researched offering the customer the world and not offering them the world... Guess what? On a churn basis it made no difference... Perfect Example... 1Q04 Cingular had an incredible churn rate and we issued credits left and right... Did EVERYTHING to keep the customer happy... We stop doing that mid april... You would expect customer's to leave in full force... 4Q04 reports showed our churn had drastically dropped from what it was!

Cell phone companies know this, especially now with the recent mergers and less options available.

I hope the light bulb just popped over your head. What cell phone companies are doing is not stupid... It's taking an aggressive business practice in other parts of the world and bringing them to the states.

You claim to know about business, from a business standpoint carriers have a service that has become as you said a necessity. To be big we have to operate within the guidelines of American Commerce by publicly trading, therefore we now have to make money for ourselves, employees, and shareholders. In European and Asian markets (where monopolies are not banned) the aggressive approach has proven successful. To turn such a quick profit would you use the american approach which sinks companies? Or a european/asian approach which has cre...

come on now, don't give him the cable tv analogy. It's not like he ran the phone over with his car and then demanded that verizon replace it for free and if not, to then let him out of his contract early w/o the fee. *6* phones in 13 months! That's too much for it to be a manufacture thing, esspecially considering there were, what, 2 different manufactures involved? I'm a rep for ATT/Cingular and I totally feel for you man. Hope you find some way to resolve this w/o it costing an arm and a leg.

Sorry but i'll have to vouch for VZW on this... Doesn't matter what carrier you go to... we all have policies in place, and "compensation" in the industry is quickly going out the window... It is a shame that situations like this happen... But hey, they've happened on every carrier... I don't work for VZW but our policy would be the same, if you don't have insurance and are under warranty you exchange the phone... If the replacement is dead on arrival you exchange the phone... We will not "compensate" and I don't see why VZW or any other carrier should either...

VZW is providing you the service, the product you use to get that service is not their fault. They are making an effort at every turn to replace the phone for you, You think you'...

You're missing the point... VZW is giving you the convenience of replacing the phones... They are not built by VZW, VZW just provides the service. But they care enough to give you that convenience...

They are not responsible or obligated to provide this service to you.

And no, rules are not meant to be broken... That is a misconception that the entire wireless industry is pushing to replace. I work for Cingular, we'll go through the same process. So will any other carrier.

Rules are now set in stone, policy is policy. You are no more important than the next customer. You pay VZW for SERVICE... They provide that service... The device is truly not their problem.

Jan 29, 2005, 1:42 PM
Its not normal, but think of it from this perspective. You lost the phone and if the VZW rep followed policy you wouldn't have YOUR FRIENDS phone replaced and then you would have to buy a phone at retail price. So just be happy that you are getting replacements and not paying retail price for a phone. Oh yeah, not only was your friends phone replaced but you were given a new phone on top of that. I'm almost starting to think that all or most of your phones were broken due to accidental damage primarly because all replacement units go through rigorous testing standards withing manufactures before they are let out to the public and to have six phones replaced is like saying you were hit by lighting.

And if you go with TMobile, be aware that if you use your friend's phone on your account we won't exchange it for you at all--we only support phones that we can document as purchased from us new. We aren't going to take the hit for exchanging a POS phone you bought for a buck off of EBay!

You are so barking up the wrong tree here, dude. You pay for a service, you're getting the service, and you're expecting you can do anything you want to a phone and it will be somebody else taking care of it for you, which is totally ridiculous. Catch a clue and take responsibility for your own account and equipment. ...

Thank you! why dint you just say that from the begining? It sound to me that you're just trying to something out of it. Either a newer phone for free or something, I find really hard to believe that all 6 phones were defective. I think you're finding something wrong with the phones they send you, and since they realized this, they are not willing to help you anymore.

The odds of you needing to swap out a phone 6 times is astronomical. In reality that isn't even possible to have problems with that many phones. What are you doing to the phones? how many times have you dropped them? If you are being honest which I doubt, I would play the lottery approx. 4.30 times rounding down of course. You would be a rich rich person.

you mentioned that in fact you had a perfectly good working phone .."that you lost". VZW has given you replacement or different model phones when the one that you chose did not get good reception.

Of course you are frustrated and rightly so but your frustration will not be abated unless you channel it productivly. VZW can sell you a phone of your choosing and be a go between with the manufacturer for warranty issues but they are not responsible for guaranteeing that any phone you choose will work properly.

You indicate the LG6000 worked so why not get a new one? If you get sent a defective one just keep swapping it out. Frankly that is all you can do. Compensation will not get you a phone nor good reception. Ultimately you will h...

Subject to certain employment eligibility requirements, full-time and part-time employees who work at least 20 hours per week are eligible for this long-term incentive program.

that was a time when the department store could readily get their money back from the distributor and allegiance to the store was high. Cell phone allegences are not commonplace so it would foolheardy to give anything to the customer even when they are trying to steal from the company.

I agree it makes sense within a gray area to give a long time customer the benefit of the doubt. this is a far cry from letting a customer rip you off. a company and customer enter into a mutual contract with obligations and beneifts flowing to both. It is the customer's and company's obligation to be truthful in their dealings with each other and abide by the contract.

The LG-VX6000 is a good phone. Not sure why you would have the same screen issue with both your original phone and the one that was swapped. Practically every vzw employee owned that phone at one time because the company allowed them to purchase it regardless of whether they had upgraded recently. I owned one. My coworkers owned it. No screen problems. Asside from one of the supervisors who if he chose to have it swapped out, would be able to..and I assure you would not have the same problem with th...
