Great Phone Bad Verizon Customer Service

Elovek · 2 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This review is about Verizon—not the phone itself. I bought this phone years ago with a trade-in promotion. I was told the credit would show up on my bill after a few months. It never did. I called Verizon, and they said I had to go back to the store where I purchased it. Problem is, I had moved over an hour away. When I finally made the trip, the store told me it had been too long and there was nothing they could do. Fast forward a year—I was still angry and decided to switch providers. I paid off all my devices and disconnected everything. I asked multiple times if I owed anything else. They said no. Then I got a bill. I called, and they admitted it was a mistake and said they'd remove it. A week later, I got another bill. This time they said I had to pay it and refused to release chat logs or old bills that showed I had paid everything. Verizon will squeeze every dollar they can out of you and take zero accountability. I don’t even want to pay this “final” bill because I have no confidence it’ll actually be the last. Go with literally any other provider.

UI 7.0 update

Jodi22 · 3 months ago

This phone, which I've had for about 3 years, was absolutely fine until May of this year when Samsung decided to introduce the UI 7.0 update. Since that point, mine and many other people's batteries die at an expedited rate. I now have to charge my phone twice a day. Within a few hours, my battery is down to 65 percent. I have altered all of the settings to preserve battery, yet, there's been no resolution from Samsung. So many bad reviews are online about this update.......nothing has been done. I do not recommend this phone, and again, I am very hesitant to buy another Samsung phone.

This has been the worst phone I have purchased

TmissG · 4 months ago

It is so slow and lags more often than I like to admit. It says it supports 5G network, but I can barely get a signal at all, unless I walk with it held high in the air. I have to rely on my additional WiFi devices. I have always been an android and Samsung purchaser (especially on the Note models), but my mind is telling me to try straightalk or another vendor. I would definately steer clear of this phone, and pray the other ones aren't as bad.

Don't Buy Pre-Owned Without Insurance

Austyn · 4 months ago

The phone works great, and even exceeds expectations in terms of photography potential. When ordering certified pre-owned, however, the device was delivered with a small crack (10-12mm) in the top-left quadrant of the screen, which I must now repair myself since I don't pay for phone insurance.
