Hey I need some quick responses. I am a Verizon customer and right now I am STEAMING HOT PISSED OFF.....so let me know what provider you use. Im thinking of switching to AT&T/Cingular
-
Guess what Timmay? I am a Verizon user and I also am STEAMING HOT PISSED OFF at them and I WILL be switching to ATT/Cingular on July 11th when the new iPhones are released.
-
Hmmmm, well, I'm with Bell, but that doesn't help either of you cause you'd have non stop roaming charges since you both live in the US.
-
So what's youz guyz problem with Verizon? I've found that like the cable TV and Internet providers, your cell phone provider is eventually gonna piss you off. So you change and the next provider pisses you off.
Maybe I've just become complacent in my old age.

I've been a VZ customer for years. Yeh, there have been some times that I've been pissed at them, but I've been pissed at Direct TV as well. My neighbor has Sprint and he has trouble getting a signal in his own house.
What have they done to piss you guys off?
-
my problem is that they messed my plans up and charged us over $800 in fees in which we normally pay only $119 for three lines with unlimited everything..ie..calling, texting and ect. so we have this huge credit of $800 but they still want $300 because for some odd reason they havent credited our account. I have been a customer of theirs for over 5 years and never had a problem until the last 2 months. All of this started with their mistake and I just told them that they offered us a credit...but they are finding piddly sh*t to charge us for so they get their money back. So who is really getting a credit here?????? Im signing up with AT&T/Cingular today...i just found out they will pay my contract fee to just get us as a customer.
-
people always told me that verizon will mess with your bill. I ignored it...and have been for the last year or so, cause they never once tried to mess with our bill. NOW all of a sudden our bill goes from $119.00 to over $800 because they put us on a wrong plan...???

has trouble getting a signal in his own house.
That's my biggest bitch about Verizon! My original Razr phone worked fine inside of my house. Then it got stolen and VZ replaced it with a "new" Razr. The new one processes calls diferently then the original and now after changing out the phone 2 more times, VZ says my house is in a "marginal signal area" and there is nothing they can do until the new tower they are building, just 2000 feet away from my home, becomes active. VZ says they don't know when that will be.
The nice thing is that they are letting me out of my contract without penalty. O0
ATT has a tower 10,000 feet from my home. In case you were wondering.

As a Verizon customer I have been very lucky then and had no problems. CHARTER ON THE OTHER HAND, has mess my account requiring me to be on the phone for 2 1/2 hours each (maybe they are in league with Verizon) talking to rude people in every country but our own. I have two accounts, they have credited the wrong account twice, refusing to switch payments, and then had the guts to charge a late fee for the other account that should have received the payment. Thank out sourcing for this mess. BTW it was only after getting customer service from our good neighbors in Ontario that the mess got cleared up.

I've had VW for many, many years... had a few problems here and there, but nothing to quit their service for...

I've been with ATT/Cingular for years now, there has benn a couple of glithes and there customer service isn't the greatest but these days whose is. Overall they have been ok, my cell service is great not many dead zones.

O geez, you just had to start didn't you.

I'll second this. I've been with AT&T since January. I've been basically happy with the service. Do NOT, however, purchase your phone from them online. They made a royal mess of that and it took a lot of time on hold with them to get it straightened out. I posted about it at the time, if you feel like looking for it. Other than that, the service has been fine. I did recently have some problems with my phone, but they sent me a new one as it was still under warranty.
-
I think they are all a pain in the butt at one time or another.
-
Verizon for the last 7 or 8 years. No problems at all.
Had Cingular before that and had a problem from the first day.
-
I've been a Verizon customer for over 10 years. I actually was with Cellular One, before they got bought-out by Verizon. I really can't complain too much. The coverage is the best I've found. There have been a couple of times that I've gotten a little upset with their customer service. But what I've found is that is usually an issue with a particular customer service rep. When I had problems with a customer service rep, I usually just demand to talk to someone else.
-
i have at&t. service is as good as anyone else here in the swamp. ha ha O0 had nextel and after katrina, that was all that would work. only the two way feature that is.
-
I got rid of VZ DSL & phone service about 4 years ago. Their customer service is crappy, and they add too much BS to your bill. AT&T Family Talk isn't too shabby of a deal. 8)

tgallagher i hear that....ive got sprint and they are all jacked up....great i was gonna switch to verizon next fall when my"contract" w/ sprint ended. maybe i'll just do w/o like we did back in the olden times!

WEll I called Verizon back and I just told them exactly how I felt about the whole situation. I ended up talking to a supervisior and not just one of the run of the mill operators. I explained to her that the person I talked to earlier interrupted me as I was trying to explain to her what was going on and told me taht since I wasnt give her any words edge wise that she reckons this conversation was over with. WHAT! you dont talk to people like that. I said well your people do. Anyways...she gave us credit for the whole month of June. So I really dont know where to go from here. In the past 2 months our "normal fee" has now risen $20 bucks because they keep getting us to add other services .....Im like Rickybobby....Just say screw it and just stick with landlines. If anyone wants me they can come find me.

Lets just start using carrier pigeons again!
-
soup cans and twine. :D or heaven forbid, hand-writing a letter to someone. truly a lost art.
-
hand write a letter??? y ou mean to actually put pencil to paper and then walk ( yes walk..not drive) to the post office where you have to lick a stamp and manually put it on the envelope. Oh thats another thing..addressing the envelope..which side do i put the send to info on..( believe it or not I was at the post office a few days ago and this dude was in there prolly about 17 or so and he didnt know how to address the envelope. I watched as this lady tried to help him) LOL NOW THAT IS SAD!
-
that says alot for the direction this society has gone in. depressing. i bet he can explain how to sell drugs or build weapons. but can't even address an envelope. sad sad sad

It's all about coverage for me, well, that and my employee discount! ^-^ AT&T

I hear ya Sgt. It really is about coverage for me. O0 That's why I'll be an AT&T wireless customer next month. I mean, after all they got my land line.... ::)
-
As I've said before, I've been with Verizon for over 10 years. I've been happy, (for the most part) with their service and coverage. Their pricing and plans don't seem to be the best. I would love to find another carrier that had better pricing and plans, yet had the coverage that compares to Verizon. I just haven't found it yet.

My neighbor has Sprint and he has trouble getting a signal in his own house.
See, now, that's interesting because here in Denver, Sprint is the BOMB (for me, anyway)...had Verizon and dealt with WAY TOO MANY dead zones....including my house and my office.....I always seemed to be darting outdoors to save the call.
Sprint RULES out here in Denver.....glad I switched.....good at home...good at the office....GOOD IN THE ELEVATOR AT THE OFFICE O0
-
Up here in da north woods of Wisconsin we have found Alltel to be the best. We have Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, and maybe a couple more. A signal up here is hard to get on a good day but the bad days seem to be farther apart with Alltel. When we first got on with them we had LG phones and they SUCKED! When we re-upped I insisted on Motorola Razrs. Right off the bat we got cell reception at home and the dead zones that used to go on for miles now only last a couple hundred yards. IMO, for the purpose of wireless commos Mojorola has the best equipment.

at least buddha u have leinenkugels...so f the phone companies !!!!!!

I'm stuck with Sprint for another year.
I had Cingular/ATT for 6 years and never had a problem with service or billing. Because of my plan, I screwed up the roll over minutes the last few months.
I signed up with Sprint because of an employee discount, being a supplier of GM. Worst mistake! They managed to include another account with a different phone number, and also put me on a different plan then I signed up for. Tried calling service and got no where. Went back to the store I bought it from and watched as they spent over an hour with service trying to fix it and watched their frustration. Still didn't fix it and I went back. Took two months to fix those problems then other problems every month since. I have a year to go on the contract and cannot wait to get rid of it.
I will probably go back to ATT. Now I have another problem-my son. 207 text messages last month, $41.00. At least he pays me for those, but I will probably go with unlimited text messages. I am afraid to call Sprint to change though, who knows what they will screw up!

Do NOT, under any circumstances, change anything on your plan, because if you do, Sprint will start your contract period all over again for another year.
I was also with Sprint due to an employee discount. Whenever I had to deal with their customer service reps in person or on the phone, I found them to be extremely incompetent and rude. I switched to AT&T in January. There have been some bumps along the road, but all in all, things have been much better. Get better reception on my phone -- it even works in the elevator at work.
-
yeah razor these sprint bitches keep calling me saying they are looking out for my phone bill and want to offer me a great deal.....whatever
-
Sprint has been losing customers right, left and center. Back in January, they were on a list of companies that were likely to be taken over before year-end. I'm surprised nothing's happened by now. When I switched to AT&T it took a while for my number to get ported over because they had to wait for Sprint to release it -- and Sprint had a backlog due to the number of customers who were porting their numbers to other carriers.
-
not sure i can speak anymore about sprint w/o using language deemed offensive on this board....dont even get me started about comcast....might be good for a drunken rant at sbg convention
-
I have alltel right now, and plan to stick to it for a while
I have done cost analysis of the two companies in the area, and have found alltel to have the lowest $/min
the only advatage over el other is signal quality when you get ten to fifteen miles out of town, past that they are the same- nil
-
at least buddha u have leinenkugels...so f the phone companies !!!!!!
Creamy Dark is my favorite.....and it's good for me!
-
i just remember we all drank lufengoogles at my bachelor party about 10 years ago. someone brought leinie and i might have been a little inebriated and couldnt quite say the beers name...its stuck ever since then...so i really like lufengoogles summer shady a lot during the summertime

Motorola is getting out of the cell phone business. I have a Moto Q9. I'm going back to the Blackberry this fall.

So yeah, get this, I just got a call from my Bell Canada telling me that there is an outstanding balance from the past 2 months of unpaid bills!!!
They wanted me to pay $130 something. I couldn't believe it! So from talking to the rep we figure out that yeah, there was a mixup in the system and that they had received my payments. So then the rep starts telling me that the bills are more than they should be because I was going over my texting limits of 200. I was in shock because I had set up the plan for free text/video messaging. She tells me there is no record of it so I let her know about the ordeal I had 3 months ago, of how I was contacted to upgrade my plan. The service rep explained everything, but then the sales manager contradicted everything. I ask why all the contradictions and then the sales manager hangs up on me! So I call back, raise hell and then get what the original offer was. So she looks and sees that there is a note in my file about the whole incident, so what she does is goes and gives me the upgraded plan that would be an extra $15 a month but gives me a $15 credit on my bill each month for the duration of my contract.
I was amazed at how polite, professional and courteous she was and asked her, once everything was done, for her name and employee number then I told her how pleased I was with her and requested to talk to her supervisor so that she gets the credit she deserves. The supervisor was unavailable but I left a message.
All too often people don't get the credit they deserve and I really hope that girl gets acknowledged for her actions with me!
We all hear about horror stories from all the various cellular providers but there ARE good encounters!

We've been with Sprint for over 5 years now. Me, the wife, my grandmother, mom, and step dad are on the family plan or whatever it is. Unlimited text, mobile to mobile and all sortsa stuff. Plus we get an 18% discount on the bill and accessories. Sure they may have screwed up a time or two, but not enough for us to leave.

Yeah...me too, Pig
that's weird, man...Sprint a ben beddi beddi agoot a to mia.
I saw this video about how you never see the CEO of Sprint and Donald Trump together at the same party. Gives a good case that Sprint and Trump are actually behind the Twin Tower disaster on 911.
Apparently...and I gotta tell ya, it's compelling....Trump needed them towers down to clear it for his own project. It's pretty interesting....got me thinking....
How Sprint is involved is on disc #2....HEY MAN...WHO KNOWS. O:O

We had Sprint from 1995 until just after Katrina. Their service was bad after the storm, but that wasn't why we packed bags. When my youngest went to Baton Rouge for law school, Sprint just didn't have any service to speak of on the campus so, being the independent minded young lady she is, she switched to Cingular because they had the best reception in that area. She left her old number behind, and was most excited because she could get the same phone she had in Dublin the previous year when she worked at the Bank of Ireland. After things settled down from Katrina, I went and waited for about 2 hours to get her number cancelled on our contract (Sprint kept charging!) and they said that her phone was the main phone so we'd have to sign for two years on the two other lines to drop that one. Dumb and dumber, I went across the street to Verizon and signed up for the "now" two other lines that weren't the main one and removed them from our non-contract arrangement. I waited one month, then after getting a "clean" bill, I cancelled the Sprint jokers altogether. Funny thing was the manager at the Sprint store, really nice, admitted that it was a dumb thing for her company to do, but she couldn't do anything. We've been satisfied w/ Verizon, but now that our two year contract is expired and we're month to month, we get every type of promotion to have us sign up again, new phones, you name it. We just tell them, and honestly, that the phones we have work great, that we still can't use all the things they can do, and that there is no need to do anything but continue on. Will they leave us alone, no---every week or two a phone call, a mailing. Why can't they just let live.
