I also have the same plan and I never used the second line but they charged me $500.00 anyway. they charged me 150 dollars for messaging I never used. verizon is dishonest and they said that the cell phones are free but they overcharge you in order for you to pay for the phone during the first bill that's why you will see the fraudulent charges. WE DON'T GIVE A @#$@ AND WE DON'T PAY A PENNY. WE CONTACTED FCC and went the credit report will receive the bad report, we will dispute it with the DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMERS AFFAIRS and ATTORNEY GENERAL.

If you burn 1 carrier, they rest WILL NOT open a new account with you.
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 11, 2006
If you burn 1 carrier, it will be extremely difficult if not impossible to open a new account at another carrier. Even if they will open one, you will have to pay a huge deposit.
I would suggest working harder in resolving the problem, instead of developing an attitude. Attitude gets attitude.
I have been a Verizon customer for several years. Twice, I broke a contract AFTER explaining a situation to them, and TWICE they waived the early termination fee. Verizon is very easy to deal with if you speak to them in a civil manner.
I am now with another carrier since the service I wanted was not available here with Verizon.
And, I do not work for Verizon or any other carrier.

Question for Marilyn regarding your MH and 2 acres, in Brooklyn?
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, December 08, 2006
In your post above you state that you are not worried about your credit and you already have your new car, and MH on 2 acres of land.
However, you claim to be in Brooklyn. I have not seen ANY mobile homes in Brooklyn, especially on 2 acres. Simply does not exist. Did you mean TUCSON? Why is your signature falsely representing that you are in Brooklyn? Or you are in Tucson, and your daughter is in Brooklyn.
And, did you really expect to get a 2 phone family plan on a 700 minute plan and not go way over your minutes?
If your daughter was in store, they would have reviewed the agreement with her and a signature is reuired. Why were these discrepancies on the 2 extra lines not caught BEFORE signing?
Maybe YOU should have gone to the Best buy/Verizon store and made the order instead of sending your daughter.
And, 70 x 3 = 210, not 220.
Here's the deal with not paying on a cell account. You will never be able to get an account with any other provider until it is paid, and if in collections you will not get one for a very long time even if you do pay it.
Looks like prepaid phones are in your future.

SUBMITTED: Monday, October 09, 2006
Let me start by saying that imho the sales personnel get a little carried away when they are trying to sign you up for service, as far as the activation costs, cancellation fees and monthly charges go. Everything you need to know about the service and fees are listed in the literature you get when you leave the store or recieve the phones in the mail.
Verizon now sends copies of terms and conditions and letters telling you any changes made to the account even if you add or remove a single feature. if you don't agree with the changes you should call them. All the companies I have worked for or used have excellent websites with information not to mention 24 hr customer service with an 800 number.
I have spent most of my working life explaining to customers and even reading verbatim these terms and conditions which are written in plain english but the yelling customers tell me they don't have time to read all that stuff. Well that's why it's sent out.
The first month's bills are generally higher because they are generally longer than 1 month and have activation fees but this is offset by the fact that you are getting new phones at a steep discount for your commitment.
I've also learned myself that if I don't pay a bill and it goes to a collection agency, down the road it is going to cause me grief when I try to get a home loan or furniture because it stays on my record. Even my car loans were charged higher interest because of a bad judgement call on my part.

WE GOT 5 LINES, BUT WE ARE NOT RICH PEOPLE. WE NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GOING TO RIPP OFF LIKE THAT. C.W. IS THE MOST RELIABLE COMPANY THAT NEVER HAD SURPRISED US WITH OVERBILLING. I GOT IT 2 YEARS BEFORE YOU AND I TRIED YOU. YOU SURPRISED US WITH MORE THAN 1 THOUSAND IN BILL CHARGES THE VERY FIRST MONTH. I CAN NOT PUBLICATE MY BILL ONLINE ANY WAY, IF I COULD I WOULD, but I don't know how.
I accept your offer and I told the Editor of this website to give you my e-mail but not my home phone number.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

no "boss foot kissing" as you put it here, none of the wild accusations you made are even remotely related to why i do this... i am a customer service rep and a customer and you just babble at what crooks we are but your not backing it up.... their is a devote crowd of people on here to attack people like me who defend our companies when the proof is their and their not backing you up. you have provided nothing but complaints and no proof... quit attacking my company and put up or shut up.
we are the number one wireless provider in the nation and we say it proudly because we back it up. so put up proof or give a way thru this website to contact me, it is an offer, take it or leave it... contact the webmaster and send your information because i have and if you contact them and quit posting here then you can take me up on the offer... so as it goes put up or shut up!

SO YOU DON'T LIKE ME CONTACTING FTC, AG, AND DCA ..YOU ARE NOT GOING TO INTIMIDATE ME. I WILL FIGHT AGAINST YOU UNTIL I DIE BECAUSE VERIZON IS THE WORST AND DISHONEST COMPANY AROUND THE WORLD.

If you made a reasonable attempt to contact customer service about your bill and they told you the charges were valid then accept the decision and be the adult you claim to be and pay your bill. it never ceases to amaze me how many adults go ballistic on customer reps. because they get freaked about the bill they, AND ONLY THEY, run up.
Calling those agencies you listed is your right but let's be serious. What are they gonna do for you?
