Welcome Kits Home
  • Overview

  • Verizon Care provides global maintenance and technical support for network CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) and features advanced parts replacement and available on-site or remote repair support.

    As a Verizon Care customer, Verizon is your first contact when you experience trouble with your network CPE. A team of qualified Verizon support engineers will work with you to remotely troubleshoot the problem, request advanced parts replacement, coordinate on-site repair support (if purchased), and restore the device to service, and keep you informed.

    In addition to these services, Verizon engineers are also available to assist with your requests for operating system software patches, updates and bug fixes.

    More information on Verizon Care maintenance services can be found at https://enterprise.verizon.com/products/network/edge-solutions/verizon-care/

  • Your Verizon team

  • Preparing for successful delivery

  • vns wk prepare
  • Verizon Care is enabled following Verizon’s successful installation and activation of your network Customer Premise Equipment (CPE).

    To ensure Verizon Care is promptly activated, Verizon will capture the network CPE serial number during the ordering, staging or installation phase, and securely retain this information in our trouble-ticketing system to help with trouble-shooting and problem resolution.

    If your network CPE was purchased and/or installed using a customized (non-standard) process, then you may need to work with your Verizon Account Representative to make sure Verizon has the serial numbers for all network CPE requiring Verizon Care support.

     

  • Customer action

    In order to streamline your Verizon Care maintenance activation, be ready to provide the network CPE serial number. Missing or incorrect serial numbers are the primary cause of delay in providing a replacement part.

    If your network CPE is part of Verizon Managed Services offerings, then Verizon will take care of capturing and storing the network CPE serial number. No further action is required.

  • Manage your account with the Verizon Enterprise Center

  • Easily Manage your Services Online

    The Verizon Enterprise Center makes it easy for you to monitor, manage, analyze and optimize your Verizon products and services online. Available seamlessly on desktops, tablets and smartphones – you can act on your crucial data wherever your work takes you.

  • Frequently asked questions

How is Verizon Care Maintenance different from Manufacturer Maintenance? +

With Verizon Maintenance:

  • Verizon takes the customer’s first call
  • You cannot call the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) directly for support
  • Billing is done as a monthly recurring charge (MRC)
  • There is no fixed term or early termination liability.
  • Support is available for multiple manufacturers/OEMs.

 

With Manufacturer Maintenance:

  • Customer calls the manufacturer direct for support
  • Billing is done as prepaid
  • There is often a fixed term and early termination liability may apply.
Can I call the Manufacturer’s Technical Assistance Center (TAC) directly for support? Is this option supported? +

With Verizon Care, you will contact Verizon directly for support. Verizon will work with the manufacturer (Original Equipment Manufacturer) as needed for assistance and advanced parts replacement. If it is important to be able to speak directly with the Manufacturer’s TAC, Verizon can offer you a manufacturer maintenance product.

Where are the depots where spare parts are kept? +

Verizon Care relies on manufacturers and partners to maintain a spare parts inventory so that service levels may be met.

When opening a trouble ticket for Verizon Care via the Verizon Enterprise Center portal, what information should I provide to report equipment trouble? +

When opening a trouble ticket for Verizon Care via the Verizon Enterprise Center portal, what information should I provide to report equipment trouble?

You will need to be prepared to provide the following information:

  • Your Business Name , Contact Person Name, Phone Number, and Email Address
  • Service Instance ID or CPE Instance ID (available on your Verizon invoice)
  • A brief description of the trouble, including time and duration of the trouble event

Once compiled, Verizon will provide you with a trouble ticket number and refer it to the appropriate team for further diagnostics and repair.

Is 8x5 coverage based on my local time, or the local time of the Verizon call center location? +

8x5 coverage is based on your local time.

Can Verizon Care support Wireless Access Points network CPE installed at heights higher than 12 feet? +

Verizon does not support heights greater than 12 feet  as standard.  Any network CPE that is installed and/or maintained at heights greater than 12 feet would be considered a custom solution. A longer response time may be required, and there may also be additional cost in supporting this type of solution.

Can I change the type of Verizon Care coverage? +

Yes, you will need to contact your Verizon Account Representative for a quote to change your Verizon Care coverage.

What is meant by Verizon Care “Reasonable Effort”? +

Verizon will work directly with the manufacturer to ship the replacement part as soon as is reasonably possible considering your geographic location relative to the manufacturer’s available inventory.

My network CPE was damaged during shipment. Is this supported by Verizon Care? +

If your network CPE was damaged during shipment, this is not covered through Verizon Care. Instead,  please contact your Verizon Account Representative to initiate the network CPE replacement process.

My network CPE was damaged by a power surge due to a lightning strike. Is this supported by Verizon Care? +

You should consider filing an insurance claim. An insurance claim may also be filed if the network CPE was damaged by water, storms, fire, or other acts of nature. Verizon Care is not a substitute for an insurance policy.

Can I access Verizon Enterprise Center from a mobile device? +

With Verizon Enterprise Center Mobile, you have access to information you need to manage your critical business functions on-the-go. You can manage your Verizon account from a smartphone or a tablet using the mobile application for single sign-on access to Verizon Enterprise Center,   My Business Account, and Verizon portals for a unified mobile experience.

Smartphone users can download an app from Google Play or the App Store that supports access to Verizon Enterprise Center portal, My Business, and Verizon portals. Simply search for “My Verizon Enterprise;” download the app; and conveniently launch right into Quick Tasks or sign in to your business portal for more management options. An icon is added to your phone’s home screen for easy access the next time you log in. Requirements are as follows:

  • App Store: Apple iPhone models that have at least a 13.x iOS version in the U.S. on any carrier or Wi-Fi network
  • Google Play: Selected devices using an operating system of Android 5 or higher in the U.S. on any carrier or Wi-Fi network

You can also access Verizon Enterprise Center Mobile with a tablet by signing into a browser-based application at http://verizonenterprise.com. The functionality will be the same as the smartphone app, supporting key business functions that vary by the users’ portal and permissions.

Verizon Enterprise Center portal users can use Quick Tasks for repairs, billing, and some wireless functions or sign-in to get access to key business functions delivering near real-time information to you. Verizon portal users can access key business functions from the smartphone app or tablet browser-based app.
