    The agent got me reconnected, after I lost service due to a esim issue. He also convinced me for a 30day trial of home 5g Internet, with the promise that I could just drop it off to return it if it did not work at our home. It doesn't work, so I returned it. The agent took the device but DID NOT cancel my home Internet plan. I'm not chatting with customer service about them expecting me to return the device after canceling the plan...the device I already returned to the store. This has been a nightmare. Serious frustration with Verizon, to the point that I'll probably try to switch providers.

    Jose was awesome! The 800 # was not helpful and the website wasn’t helpful either. Jose helped us navigate the process and gave us wonderful customer service.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Blessed Experience With Elder Johnson at Verizon I just want to take a moment to give God the glory for placing someone like Elder Johnson in a position to serve people with excellence and integrity. From the moment I walked in, his spirit was different—calm, kind, and full of patience. He didn’t just provide customer service; he provided ministry through his actions. In a world where people rush through their jobs, Elder Johnson took his time to explain everything clearly, making sure I felt valued and taken care of. His professionalism is top tier, but even greater than that is the light of God that shines through him. You can truly feel that he works not just for Verizon, but as unto the Lord. If you ever go to Verizon, ask for Elder Johnson. You won’t just leave with a good phone plan—you’ll leave encouraged, respected, and reminded that there are still Kingdom-minded people serving with excellence in everyday places. May God continue to bless him and enlarge his territory. 🙏
