who is this?

verizon wireless

they called and woke my husband up AGAIN after I have told them 6 times to quit calling. This time they said it was on behalf of someone by the first name of a person I work with whose Indian first name happened to be the same. I thought maybe my friend had been in an accident or something, No it was VERIZON!!! My contract ran out Dec.2007. They have been trying to lure me into a new phone (small print tells me I have to also add two extra services to my plan, i.e. more $) and at first $25 rebate, then $50, Then $100, now its up to $150 and now I get harassing phone calls on my home phone to boot!!! My home number is unlisted, how did they get it anyway? I've moved and gotten a new number since I started contract. So they shouldn't have it. AT&T Mobile here I come...I here that Verizon account flushing...whoosh!!!

I keep getting calls from this number with no one at the other end...

I have been getting lots of calls from this number, but there is never anyone there. So I Googled the number and sure enough, my Verizon contract just ran out. I am being harrassed. This is really stoopid!!! I was very happy with my service, but I think it's time to change carriers.

I keep getting calls from this number as well..they seem to like to call me three times in 15 minutes to once every hour or so...IT IS RIDICULOUS!!

I keep getting calls.. WTF. I get the emails, the text message and the letters!! I do NOT want a new freaking phone OR CONTRACT.

keeps calling from this number as well as from other numbers.  no message left, no person on other end.  verizon's version of harassment.  i'll soon be switching because of this and very poor customer service...

I get calls from this # all the time. I finally put a stop to this and took back control of my phone system. They call and hang up and don't say anything. I run a small biz and don't have time for this. I changed my phone service to http://www.sonictalk.net  . Now whenever they call they get a message from me telling them to stop calling and they are not welcome here. I can do this with any number that calls me. You can also forward them to another # like the do not call list. This is really fun. I almost can't wait for someone else to call and hang up on me. I recommend you drop your phone company and switch to http://www.sonictalk.net where you have control of these people. The number for Sonic Talk is 1-866-923-0985.

A daily call with hangup. If this is Verizon, they are driving me to another carrier with their annoying calls from boiler rooms or worse. Why can't they be business-like rather than just another telemarketer ??

800 notes is GREAT!!!!!!!!...I would pay for a subscription!!!!  This 800 # is from Verizon....also violated my "do not call"....I am not a customer.......T-Mo all the way!!

I, too, am receiving these annoying calls from the 1- 800 - 425 -2171
number that everyone else is complaining about. When I answered the calls several times, there was no one on the other end. I ignore it now, but I sure would like to get it to stop!

Numerous calls from this number - more than 20 at last count - no message left on answering machine and I have never answered when I've been at home. Based on other posts it's probably Verizon trying to beg me to renew my contract.

Called via this 800# to my cell.  Said they canNOT put me on the DO NOT CALL LIST, even though I AM a Verizon Customer.  I admitted I'm likely leaving Verizon for ATT.  She respond,"Yea, good luck with that!  Do whudevuh you gonna do."  And abruptly hung up.

This happens all the time. Verizon calls, are rude, and hangs up you.

Sad that good, even decent, customer service is so dang hard to come by these days.

Recieved a call from this line on my cell phone.  When I answered it they hung up.  I've gotten calls before from Verizon's CS department.  I believe this is a retention tactic, as my contract is up as of May and they are trying to keep my business.

Which they won't.  They are too expensive, and their tactics of trapping you (any change to the plan results in a longer contract) are ridiculous.

I received another phone call today from verizon wireless.  They called then hungup on me when I answered the phone.  Yesterday when I called them back they said they were promoting Blackberry pearl phone.  Today they called again and hung up.  So I called and talked to supervisor Roderic who basically said they were calling to tell be about their promotions.  He said he would check my # and find out who was calling and correct the problem.  I recent this tactic so much that I am thinking about switching to another cell phone carrier.

received a (hang-up) call from this number on a landline!!!   am not even a verizon customer for cell service.  reporting them to both national and local agencies for violation of no call legislation.

I received a missed call on my phone from this number. I called it back and after indefinite holding, I disconnected. I read here that it's a Verizon Wireless promotional call. My contract is up, so I assume it is their customer retention department. I'm thinking about switching to another carrier due to poor customer service, lengthy customer hold times, and high priced calling plans. It seems all my friends have excellent coverage with other carriers. So, maybe verizon's network is not a dominant as they make it out to be... Hmmm. I'M LEAVING YOU VERIZON!! Can you hear me now?

I received a call from this number also and did not answer since it was an 800#. No message was left eithe by voice or text. So I decided to look the # up and found these comments. I then decided to call the # and of course received a recording that said "thank you for your interest in verizon wireless and please stay on the line for the next available agent." I held on the line for 5 min. I asked her why they called me. The agent requested my cell# to look at my account, after looking she said I was eligible for 1000 minutes and to upgrade my phone. It is just a sales call. I asked them to not call me again regarding changing my plan or any other "special promotions". She told me that she could not do that as I was a verizon customer and they were calling from Verizon.

As of May 20th, 2008, this number belongs to Verizon Wireless.  It was a call from their promotional services center.
