Issue Setting up prepaid plan

Hello all, I've been having some issues setting up a prepaid plan on a BYOD activation.

I started using the activation site and while I was on the "Customer Information" tab my home internet connection was lost, causing me to loose my progress. I proceeded to restart the process, how ever i couldn't get past the picking a plan stage to enter customer information. Tells me an error occurred and that I need to contact customer service. Calling the CS number brought me to a prompt asking for my Accounts number, which I didn't obviously have.

Later on that night I was charging the phone I was wanting to activate when it turned on, and because I had put the sim card in the phone to not loose it, it began to "activate", few minutes later I was notified with a Activation successful and it showed me a new number. Confused, I went onto the My Verizon app on the phone and saw that it said i had the plan, yet it there was no funds/data. I attempted to sign up for a account there where it asked me for a security code. I tried the last 4 digits of the number the device showed me, and it ended up being incorrect, and locked my account.

I called the number they provided to try to talk to a rep on the phone i was trying to activate, yet it only gave me the options "1: Use a refill card" and "2: Add funds using a credit/debit".

How can I get get in touch with a rep so I can I guess "restart" the activation or sign up process since I never could actually finish signing up for the plan?

I have tried calling that number, but it only gives me the two options for adding funds to my account. That's it.

Again, I am terribly sorry you're still experiencing problems reaching a Prepaid Customer Service representative.  When you call the (Toll Free) 888-294-6804 Prepaid Customer Service number, although you're only presented 2 options, try pressing the number 4 on your dial pad and then number 6 "for store locations or billing questions".  Please let me know how that works out for you.

Tried calling the number again and pressing 4. It kept saying "were sorry" and repeated the two options. I try pressing 4 again and it will end the call.

ezepine,


Certainly we want you to be able to speak with a representative. These steps have worked for customers in the past, though the automated system may have updated. Try these steps. Please dial 888-294-6804. When you hear the prompt to select a language, please ignore this option. You will then be prompted to enter your phone number. After entering your phone number please select options 4, 6, and 4 to reach a representative.
