      Verizon Wireless Relegates iPhone To Island Of Misfit Toys

      As a whimsical follow-up to AT&T's lawsuit concerning their "There's a map for that" ads, Verizon Wireless released their Christmas-themed set of AT&T/iPhone bashing ads today. They're harsh, but also pretty funny. More »

      Verizon Snatches Away Divorced Man's Unlimited Broadband Plan

      They say that for people going through a divorce it can feel like you're losing half of yourself. As if it that wasn't bad enough, Verizon Wireless has taken away William's unlimited broadband plan on the account he used to share with his wife. More »

      This Verizon Discount Applies To All Plans... Except The One Advertised

      Reader Ben says: "This reminds me of the days when Henry Ford used to tell Model T buyers that they could have their car in any color they wanted, as long as it was black. With Verizon, you can have a discount on any plan you want, as long as it's not the unlimited one."

      Verizon Wireless Roadside Assistance Apologizes For Sucking

      Earlier this month we shared Jason's tale of incompetent Verizon Wireless Roadside Assistance—how the operator "helping" him acted like she'd been huffing paint on her break, and eventually just abandoned him with a "Sorry, I can't help," left on his voicemail. Verizon saw Jason's story and contacted him about it. Below is the follow up he sent us yesterday. More »

      Verizon Wireless Roadside Assistance CSR Running On Empty, Just Like Your Vehicle

      Jason's fuel gauge was stuck, and he unexpectedly ran out of gas in the middle of Wyoming, 23 miles from the nearest town. When he tried calling for help, the operator asked, "Would you like to be connected to Verizon Wireless Roadside Assistance?" Sadly, Jason said yes. He writes,

      Here are the morals of this story:

      1. Never EVER travel without extra fuel.

      2. If someone ever says to you, "Can I connect you to Verizon Wireless Roadside Assistance?" They are making a direct threat on your life.

      Verizon Wireless Going Contract-Free Next Week?

      If the website Boy Genius Report is correct, next week Verizon Wireless will start offering contract-free, month-to-month service. Pretty much everyone will be eligible for it, but of course you'll have to pay full price for a phone or bring your own, there'll be an activation fee that can't be waived, and if you take advantage of any special offers that require a contract, you'll have to switch over to a contract agreement. It's supposed to start on September 21st. More »

      Verizon Sells Customer Impossible KRZR

      A base assumption of consumerism is that the product you buy will actually work. This, as we all know, is rank naivete. But it is also apparently naive to believe that the product you just purchased actually exists: it doesn't. More »

      Verizon Wireless: "You're All Wet."

      Katy calls Verizon Wireless when the screen on her Motorola RAZR breaks for no reason. The CSR tells her she must have gotten it wet. Katy points out that for this to have happened, an unprecedented miracle would have had to occur, in which her purse's contents suddenly transmuted to liquid then immediately transmuted back. They strongly insinuate she's lying. More »
