I hate Verizon and the Moto V710

astravitz

May 28, 2006, 2:05 AM
I have been a Verizon customer for about 10 years, and I think I've finally had it. I recall having the LG-TM510 for a number of years and it turned out to be a real POS. By the end of it's life the phone stopped ringing, would randomly reboot, etc.

So, along came the V710 the holy grail of phones, it was supposed to be everything to everyone. So what does verizon do, disable the Bluetooth features and lose a class action suit by it's pissed off customers. Then they say, hey this phone is amazing it has a transflash card, so what does verizon do, make the Tranflash card incompatible with the SD Card, so you can't transfer pictures or music without paying for thier crappy service.

Then I find out that my Moto V710 can no longer be ...

To the respondents thusfar, your obnoxious replies are exactly the superior attitude that Verizon Employees almost always display. Well just to check my suspecious about how much Verizon has gone down hill, I took a look at the stock price for the past 1,2 and 5 years on yahoo finance. Hum...Looks like the stock price sucks, just like the people behind the company.

Who's laughing now, short verizon that you be the wise move. Fact is your company keeps touting the great network with those retarded "Can you hear me now comercials." We'll verizon can you hear me know, don't let the door behind me slam you in the FACE!

Before you start feeling too smart buddy, I've got some news for you...those stock prices that you were looking at aren't VZW's as it is not a publicly traded company. VZW is a joint venture between Verizon Communications (landline) and Vodafone. Why don't you try checking trends over the same period for other telecommunications providers (landline that is) as far as their stock prices go, you'll see that what's happened to Verizon Communications (not VZW) is fairly consistent around the industry. Do your homework a little better next time, it's a wonder you've had problems with that level of intelligence.

It's amazing to me just how stupid people can be and talk out their @ss. Besides from my credentials of 10 plus years in investment banking, a NASD license and a masters in accounting; I guess once again some genius is going to try and make me look stupid on this board. I just try and get simple points across and yet there is constantly some moron who's willing to step up to the plate. So I'll just quote the profile description of Verizon Communications:

"Verizon Communications, Inc. provides communication services worldwide. It has four segments: Domestic Telecom; Domestic Wireless; Information Services; and International.

The wireless division is a wholly owned subsidiary, it's not a separate private company you J-@ss. Just check...

The only person making you look stupid is...umm...you. Let's try this one more time, Verizon Wireless is not publicly traded nor is it a wholly owned subsidiary. Verizon Wireless is a joint venture between Verizon Communications and Vodafone. So to continue with your brillant analogy, Vodafone's stock prices must show just how crappy VZW's customer service is, right? To say that owning stock in Verizon Communications or Vodafone would give one an indirect say in VZW may be accurate, but to claim that stock performance of either of these two companies proves how bad a company VZW is--there's the stupidity, and this is what you've based your argument on. You just make yourself look even worse by following up on a completely fallacious arg...

If you were my customer, screaming and complaining the way you are now, and its 30 mins to close, I wouldn't help you either. I don't blame anyone else for not helping you if this is how you try to handle your problems.

BTW the $95 in overage charges is your fault, unless there was a billing system error. A lot of people automatically blame the wireless company for the overage charges and never stop and think, "hmmm, maybe I did go over my minutes this month, maybe I need to change to a higher plan", Instead they start acting like you and throw a temper tantrum like a 5 year old.

Thank you for the support, I know a number of people out there are also fed up and frustrated with Verzion. I've been reading up and it's looking like either Cingular or T-Mobile will be the way to go. The both offer the "HTC Wizard 8125" which apparently has a huge following, and looks to be about the same size as my POS V710.

Wow, I'll have email, and the latest Microsoft Phone operating system:

What's interesting is that when Verizon sent me mailings offering me a $25 credit if I just stayed complacent with my service and continued to take it up the @SS from Verizon. Well it turns out section B of the settlement allows me to go to a new provider and get a full refund for my changes, including avoiding any early termination fees.

I purchased the v710 when it first came on the market. You may be correct, but once again the really bad customer service representative told me I had until June 13th, 2006 to still take advantage of the settlement. Now, that I hacked into the phone and turned on all the crap that Verizon tried to kill, I'm a little happier with the phone and can work on off loading all my data and information. My 2 year contract is almost up anyway, it ends in August, so I'll just do a clean switch to Cingular at that time. I've suffered with Verizon's BS, which seems to get thicker over time, so what's another 3 months.

The paper work provided by Verizon was very deceptive and mostly highlighted the $25 rebate versus the more costly alternatives.

hes mad that verizon disables OBEX in bluetooth and some memory card features. this isnt anything new if he doesnt like it he can go elsewhere, no ones making him stay.

hes mad that he has a 2 year old phone thats out of warranty, and we had the nerve to give him a non contract replacmeent for 50$. wow the nerve of us!

No, not the end for Verizon, but a first step. My single loss means $1,200- less per/year for Verizon and more for another carrier. That's called Market Share loss and it one of the most critical barometers in a business environment with a fair amount of market saturation. Yes, Verizon can target new market segments, but the fact is loosing a 10 year customer that paid every bill in full each month, is a significant loss, even though it doesn't mean much to you.

Let me tell you a little story about a company called Sony, they too once stood at the forefront of the an industy. It turned out that Sony, could do no wrong, the helped invent the Walkman, and also made the most superior flat screen CRT's in the industry. Sony could do no...

And exactly what does the stock of Verizon Communications have to do with the customer service at Verizon Wireless? For someone who likes to talk about stock prices a lot, you don't seem to know much. Hows that AT&T stock doing, did you check that out to gauge the customer service level at Cingular?

Also you posted: "The fact is Verizon is always a year or two behind other cariers in innovation and technology."

What have the other carriers done that was so innovative, and that it took Verizon two years to catch up. Please back up your "fact."

Verizon Wireless is not a publically traded Company.

Furthermore please list examples on how verizon wireless is years behind the completition in anything.

also you criticize our customer service, becuase unpaid people on a forum dont like your whining and tell you so or becuase your phone wasnt replaced free of charges when you broke the charging port.

Verizon Wireless has been number one or tied for number one (in rare cases number 2 in one region or so. never lower then 2) in customer service and satisfaction every year since 02. Never have they been ranked lower then 2nd in any region.

Clearly you are frustrated and you want to vent. Why not call or write the corporate office in Bedminister, NJ and express yourself where it might actually do some good besides making you feel better?

I have been using cell phones well ovver 20 years, back in the mobile operator days, and I can tell you that NO wireless company is perfect. Today I use Verizon and tMobile and both have their pros and cons.

My only major beef with Verizon today is the phones. No, not because of camera, music, ui, obex or other such similiar "shortcomings", but, because of the battery life. Despite my initial fee...

As for the above, me personally, I actually miss the old days when my bill average between $750-1500 a month. Those were the days when you "home area" was a county or two, maybe.

The difference between now and then?

1) You actually got customer "service".
2) When you walked into a store (Bell Atlantic, Cellular One, VoiceStream, etc.) they knew your name and took very good care of you.
3) You did not have to worry about sitting in a restaurant, movie, coffee shop, etc, and listening to jack(or jane) a*@ next to you relaying all of their trivial personal life details at high decibel rates.

Just curious. Why are you still with VZW. You were complaining about it 2 1/2 years ago, because it was not as new as technology in Europe. You complained about SMS and their camera phones. Now you complain about OBEX. And about getting overages (which is your own fault). You complain about a crappy Motorola phone, you should have been able to find out within the first 14 days if bluetooth was crippled. That is why there is a worry free gaurantee. The reason their customer service is "terrible" to you is because you will not listen to them. They are giving you options and you just keep yelling. I would do anything i could to get you out of the store or off of the phone too. I would love to make you happy and keep your whopping 120...

I'm down in Memphis this week and the Verizon service has been flawless, and I'll be in South Florida on the weekend, and I'm sure it will work flawlessley as it always does. The problem I have with Verizon is the superior attitude of the employees and the constant incorrect information. If I call 611 I get one answer, in the store another and then finally the correct answer online at this forum. I think it's pathetic that the only Verizon employees that are knowledgeable and actually care are the ones on the phonescoop forums. The ones in the stores and on the customer service number are all worthless as far as I'm concerned.

I did almost dump verizon about a 2 1/2 years ago, but then kept reading ...

I am upset because the movie theatre charges 9.00 a ticket and won't even let me record the movie.

I am upset because i have an older HP laptop that they want to charge me 99 dollars to answer a simple question over the phone.

I am upset that Theme Parks charge 40/ ticket for one day of amusements.

I am upset that i have to pay 24.99/month for internet.

and i am upset that i have to pay 40/month for Dish Network.

So basically what i am saying and what you are saying is that, it is upsetting for businesses to try to make money. Heres a news flash. No company cares about their customers beyond the point where they start to lose money. It's nothing personal. It's business.

Hotel's lock down their TV's so you have to orde...

Here's the thing...the Motorola 710 is a piece, and always had been. Blame that on the rep that sold it to you (if they knew of problems with it to begin with. I carried this phone and hated every day that I did but everyone else that had it I knew loved it for the first 6 months they had it before it tanked.)
The 1 year warranty issue with 2 year contract is a result of what the manufacturer puts on the phone, not Verizon Wireless, and a 1 year contract is still an option in the region I am in, so I am assuming that it is ava...

I hate to be the one to tell you, but what has happened to you with Verizon could just as easily happen somewhere else. If you doubt what I'm saying, just read some of the other posts at Phone Scoop from disgruntled ex-subscribers from other companies.

I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience, and maybe a change for you will be good. But be careful about setting your expectations too high with another carrier. Wireless providers are great at disappointing people because they, like every other company in America, have inept people who work for them, and unfortunately you can't get away from them anywhere you go.

I too have been tough on Verizon, but I draw the line at saying they're a bad company because believe it or not, their cus...

The V710 charging port was quite possibly the bane of my existence for the entire year I had it. I must have gone through 5 chargers under warranty and finally had to buy another one 14 days before my upgrade date just to ensure I had a phone to use. BUT, I love Verizon otherwise so, sorry about your luck. πŸ™‚
