I have been having problems with my device since September 2016, and an ever bigger problem with Verizon staff since October 2017. I have called in multiple times to get help with my phone. I was told to change the settings to "see if that works". Finally in December I got in touch with a supervisor (am I allowed to say specific names?) who told me to give him the opportunity to fix my problem and that if he could not fix it he would override the warranty and send me a new phone. Well I worked with him, (even corresponded with him through his work email(YES! I saved the messages)) and he almost instantly threw me into the lap of his "team leader". This "leader" told me to change my settings to something different than what the previous supervisor told me to change them to and to trust him because he had "special training" to be in his position. It did not work, and the "leader" told me he would call me back the next day, which he did not. I emailed the supervisor and he told me some sob story about his " team leader" was out sick. So the next day he called me and we went through the same [Removed] I had been going through with at least 6 other Verizon employees. Finally he told me he was submitting a ticket to look at the towers and that it would only take a maximum of 72 hours to get the ticket back. WRONG. It took almost a full week (including the weekend of Christmas). When the "leader" did call me back he could not answer my questions (although he had ALL that training Smiley Happy) so I emailed the supervisor I was SUPPOSE to be working with asking him to call me. That was on Christmas Eve, and its now February, and he has yet to call me back. When I called back in in January and spoke to a supervisor she told me she would give me a $25 credit for my troubles, and that she would send the other supervisor an email asking him to follow up. That did not work and she did not apply the $25 credit she offered me to begin with. So I emailed the email address a customer service rep gave me. They called; however I was at work. They did not bother to call back. So all in all, my phone does not work like its suppose to, the supervisors obviously do not do their work, and I am still paying full price every month. Why are Verizon customers made to pay for the financial commitment to Verizon (or risk late fees or interruption of service), but Verizon employees are not made to fulfill the employment obligations to the smallest extent? Do they just sit around and eat donuts all day and discuss other phone companies? I mean I should have known something when the "Can you hear me now? Good!" guy left. What can I do if the email to the corporate office is not getting me anywhere, and when the supervisors refuse to call back like promised?

All of those words and we can't actually help you with your problem because you never stated what it was.

If you're looking for input on the problem with your device you should post that.

If you are looking to speak with Verizon Wireless directly this is not the place. There are reps who roam the community but all in all this is a customer to customer forum. Not a direct link to VZW.

Actually did you read the subject? It clearly says "VERIZON CUSTOMER SERVICE". I never asked to speak to Verizon directly, (I know how to dial 611) read the last question.  It asks a question that you clearly skipped over. I am sure other CUSTOMERS have had this problem, and some other CUSTOMERS may have gotten somewhere, which is exactly who should comment.

Being that I have reached out to corporate office through email (after having a supervisor tell me he would fix my phone or replace it but never called back when a follow up was scheduled) and have yet to get a call from them, what can I do?

Well first thing....

1. Supervisors working in a call center are for customer escalations, paperwork, payroll, etc.

2. Call centers for businesses like VZW are inbound only. They do not make outbound calls typically.

3. The best way to get your phone fixed is to just call, talk to someone, explain the problem, and work from there. Escalating is not going to get it fixed since the "specialists" are all actual representatives who work these problems daily.

I understand reps aren't always knowledgeable and sometimes it seems they don't know what they are doing but you don't get to choose who you get so you just kinda gotta deal with it. Work with them, if you get transferred to tech, work with them, then they will decide where to escalate the issue.

Here is the thing, I have called them multiple times. They have done trouble shooting on my phone multiple times, and say they need to schedule a call back with another tech. well I got tired of that so I called and talked to a supervisor and he told me he would personally check up on the case and work with me and if his team could not get the phone working he would replace it. We corresponded through email (his work email of course). well his team leader mark submitted a ticket on my behalf and I have not heard from him since.

Can you tell me what's wrong with the phone? I know a lot about phones and I can point you in the right direction.
