Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / June 2005Stolen Moments
I am a "pay as you go" Verizon customer and have been using prepai cellular for about 4 years. I had accumlated 17 hours of free weeken hours and apparently this was making Verizon nervous and therefore th past two times when it came time to renew my minutes Verizon cut off m text messaging for no reason whatsoever and in doing so prevented m from receiving the standard "warning text message" that my regula minutes were about to expire. The first time I caught it and renewe without any problem but this last time (a week ago) I had not used m fone for several days therefore I did not get the verbal notice an because they had cut off my txt messaging for no reason I did not ge the text message warning and 8 hours after my minutes expired I got notice telling me I was about to lose my cel number unless I renewed.. Well I called and renewed and asked for my "stolen minutes" back bu they refused saying I had not called in on time. When I asked why I di not get the "standard text message" telling me my minutes were about t expire I was told it was because of their error but even so I could no get my minutes back. While waiting on hold to hear this lousy news I also noted tha Verizon was raising a bunch of their rates as much as 300 percent. He Verizon what is up with you guys??? You are sounding more and more lik "General Telephone" Oh you were General Telephone werent you.. Anyway we will be parting company very soon and I think everyone els that you have screwed should get away from you as soon as possible...

Not entirely. In fact, the old GTE mobilenet is but a small fraction of the roll-up that occurred between it, Bell Atlantic Mobile, PrimeCo Wireless and Airtouch Cellular. And even, its influence is further diluted by the fact that slightly less than half the entity is owned by Vodafone. > Anyway we will be parting company very soon and I think everyone else > that you have screwed should get away from you as soon as possible... Do you normally have such intimate chats with inanimate corporate entities? > Bob Hennessey (yeah that is my real name) He used his real name. Oh, I'm scared.

Some people have no credit because they use cash. Some people just prefer pre-pay for whatever reason. dr Signaturedr.news Better Price?

Oh, I'm scared. Right on, Doc. My significant reason for having a single pre-pay phone, in addition to my two other post-paid phones, is that for around $15 per month, I have a loaner for phoneless visitors, with no fear of a big bill to pay if they lose or abuse it. My foreign guests have always offered to reimburse me for their usage, which often includes calling to friends and family back home. But I generally decline, on the basis of being hospitable to them. They always thank me profusely, and that's payment enough. > Using a pay-as-you-go may or maynot have anything to do with Credit. Some > people have no credit because they use cash.

Some people just prefer >pre-pay for whatever reason. And some people use it for their kids to help teach them discipline and self-control, without risking a big bill on their own account. > I am a "pay as you go" Verizon customer and have been > using prepaid cellular for about 4 years. I have the impression that VZW is not really going after the pre-pay market. -Quick Several bone heads in here will tell you to re-read the contract or tell you that you are an idiot. Ya know, typical cell phone geeks that lurk in here thinking they know it all. Listen, dump this shitty company and get a real one. Verizon will do anything in their power to suck as much money from you even when you aren't looking. Yea, business is business...but when a company drops down to the scum of scum bag moves and practices to get that money they should be all tied to a pole and shot in the head. f.ckers. > I am a "pay as you go" Verizon customer and have been using prepaid > cellular for about 4 years.

On the phone in customer support line-when your on hold-they have commercials for automatic debit programs for paying your bill. Now, I don't know if they want to apply that to we pay as you go customers but it seems to me it I would be foolish to trust such a company with a key to my bank account or credit card. I loath these guys but continue with this one only because it is convenient to have a cell phone for emergencies and travel. I will lose verizon the moment my needs change and I will even pay a bit more to be free of verizon. A bad actor among a bunch of bad actors, I fear, but the others have not ripped me off --yet. > Bob Hennessey (yeah that is my real name) take caution on which company you go to. Bellsouth & Cingular advertised one plan on Bellsouths website that did not even exist and after I bought it and found out it did not exist it took 2 months to get my money back. |
