First, have a network upgrade that drops customers’ phones on a regular basis so they have to go get their SIM cards reprogrammed or have the phone refresh the towers it’s looking for. Second, a month later, when the same issue recurs frequently — dropped calls, calls that don’t connect — inform the customer that “according to your contract, we’re not responsible for dropped calls in a building”. You know…like my house. Three, don’t bother to even try to find a way to satisfy the customer other than “buy a new phone…”

So I’m locked into a contract for this? Answer? No. I already made arrangements to go to Virgin Mobile. If I’m going to get crap service, I only want to pay $25 for it.

I’m going Browncoat on just about everything I can, these days — politics, economics, publishing, and my phone…it’s my money and vote they want. Time to earn it.

This is the second month in a row that I’ve tried to pay my Verizon bill online, only to find them “updating” their system.  In the middle of the day.  I find it convenient that this has happened, I’m going to say six times out of the last year — you can’t get the payment system on phone or the internet to take your payment.  I’m starting to think Verizon does this so you forget to go back and pay your bill, or wind up paying late so they can slap fees on you.

Anyone else have this trouble?
