Verizon Telefonnummer der Kundenbetreuung

Calling Verizon was a major pain. I thought they would have decent customer service, but apparently, you only get that if you download their app and access their customer service the way they want you to. If you do it any other way, you can expect to be on the phone forever. I was not impressed at all, and they kept diverting me to new customer lines and repeatedly asking for my phone number. How can a major company not know how to store your information?

I imagine many people call Verizon, one of the largest mobile phone companies in the United States. At this point, I would expect them to have it together. People probably call them about their mobile services, internet services, tablets, etc. From functional issues to Wi-Fi issues to occasional outages, I would have expected their customer service to have delivered much better than they did. 

I needed to talk to someone on behalf of my father, who has a phone that Verizon supports. He lost all network connectivity for about three hours today. There is no reason to explain why, and since it's his only way to communicate with others, it bothers me that this happened. I wanted to see why the outage occurred and what is being done to prevent it in the future. 

The call started with a standard "thank you for calling Verizon" and a reminder that the call would be monitored. Then, an automated voice stated, "You may experience a delay to speak to someone. Rather than wait on hold, you can create an appt to speak to us via the MyVerizon app, or you can stay on the line to use our automated system." I'm sure my dad didn't have the app, and I didn't want to download it as an AT&T user, so I skipped over that option and waited.

It then told me to get started, it needed my phone number, which I gave. It then asked for my ZIP Code and told me to wait. Then it asked me, "Would you like Verizon mobile, new Verizon service, or something else?" I said Verizon mobile, and it told me it would transfer me to a department to help with that, which was odd because I thought I was calling their mobile service customer service. 

Once again, it asked for my number and said, "If you are calling about personal service, press one. For business service, press two." I chose personal service and got a new host of options. I pressed technical support, and it asked me to enter my phone number again. Then I got another list of options. 7, to be exact, which I listened to a second time because they were confusing. It said it didn't recognize my entry and pressed 0 to speak to a customer service agent. 

At this point, I had already spent five minutes cycling with this directory, and it took another ten to get to a customer service agent who also wasn't very helpful. I wouldn't recommend their customer service.
