Are you kidding!  None of the “good” deals apply to people in our position.  My husband and I have been with Verizon for 34 years.  Why isn’t the buy one iPhone xs, get one free available to me without having to add a line!  Why isn’t my husband able to upgrade his iphone 5 to a 7 for $5.00 a month, without having to add a line?  All the “good” deals do not apply to us.  We are over 65 and don’t need a 3rd line!  I’m not surprised Verizon customers are looking elsewhere.  You only offer  incentives to new customers.  You couldn’t care less about the loyal ones.  You actually think the feeble rewards program or $100.00 off an $800 phone makes up for that.  Shame on you!

It may seem that way, but I have called Verizon wireless a few times over the years to voice my displeasure and they have always come through for me.  When I finally got through to a live person yesterday,  I told the Rep, straight out, that I was planning on switching to another carrier.  He told me to have a good day 😂

Thank you for responding.  That is a surprise.  Yes, I have reached out.  When I finally did reach a “live” person yesterday (no easy task) the rep told me the only special available for upgrade was my husband could upgrade his iphone 5 to an iphone 7 for $5.00 a month, but had to add a line.  I told him I was considering changing companies.  He told me to have a good day?  I am a retiree of Verizon and if I ever hsndled a call like that, I would have been fired.  But, that wad a different time.  The customer came first!  This morning I saw the bogo for the Iphone xs!  That was exciting!  Again, have to add a line!

I too have been with Vzw for 21 years, and the customer reps always worked with me on dome kind of deal or compromise..... until a couple years ago. Now they cater to new line customers, why??

Well I am finally leaving Vzw after 21 years, they just don't give a flying frug about existing customers anymore
