Verified ReviewerIssues with account
It was terrible! I have been a customer with total wireless for goin on 3 years and everything has been fine.
Now that you all are switching to Verizon I have had nothing but problems with you. I called to transfer my number to a new phone and you all lost not only where I paid my bill but my account all together! I had documentation of where I paid my bill had your customer service representative on the phone while I spoke with my bank and they give me the Auth. ID number and everything but yet you all would not refund my money.
I fought with your company for 4 days trying to get my phone back on where I paid my bill or my money back either way and you wouldn't do it. At one point you even tried saying that my number had already been assigned to someone else, that I couldn't get my number back! I ended up switching my service to another company AND got to keep my number!
You all need to get it together cause if not I see you losing alot more customers. The ONLY way I would even consider coming back would be if they gave me my money back plus some for the trouble and stress I have had to deal with, when it come to them.

Customer Service
I just called to see what plan I am paying for and why my data warning (now, I know it is controlled by my phone setting) was coming on. Simple solution, I think I was set a back by the tone of the Customer Service Rep "Gilmore".
Although he could not hear me clearly, it just required a slight adjustment. Gilmore (the manager) came off to me a little disrespectful. Gilmore suggested that I don't know him because I asked if he was having a bad day or night. I don't know him however I do know that I am a long time paying customer and Gilmore either works for the company or works for a company that contracts with the company I am paying for service.
My discontent is not with the service I am paying (which I found out, I can get the same service for $20 per month less) for, my discontent is with a manager (Gilmore) who would benefit greatly from customer service training.
Yes, because of Gilmore I have looked into finding a new service provider and Gilmore's tone suggested, the fact that he represents your agency and or a contracted agency, he or you could careless if I discontinued our relationship. So, with that said, next month, I think I should find a company that cares, respects and appreciates all of their customers.
User's recommendation: Don't expect live good customer service after waiting 15 mins on the phone to speak to someone live chat has to be the better way to go.

Pay my bill
Called to pay pill and downsize the plan, the woman said payment was already taken, and they couldn't change it. I said I should have had til midnight to pay and/change plan.
When I asked to speak to a supervisor, she said she would be the first and the last person I would speak to, which pissed me off. Even my husband got on the phone and said there has to be accountability for what you're claiming, and we deserve to speak to someone above you. I got irate naturally and told them to cancel the service!
Then she said ok well we'll cancel your service but you won't get a refund, and I had to explain you cancel the service at the end of the next billing date your not going to cancel me now and I lose my money with no refund, wtf? Then we got disconnected and I called back and got the same woman, and all of a sudden she was willing to down size my plan and refund me the money for the difference in the plans and cancel my service at the next billing cycle.

Sucks
Called to set up new phone on existing account- replacing my 86 year old mothers iPhone with a new one. Tried to activate calling customer service they submitted requests for new telephone numbers.
They cancelled our old telephone numbers - did not want. More than five hrs to resolve. Three calls to offshore associates who kept sending me to higher technical who then promptly disconnected me. Two online attempts.
Thank goodness we still have land line. Finally resolved but hey Total wireless sucks!!
Avoid. I, on auto pay and dont deserve this *** treatment
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Avoid customer service sucks

I agree I'm still without the use of data i gave up calling for help cause the techs along with support staff are total lovers they treat the customers like *** I'm raking my business elsewhere and if Verizon owns all of the options I will refrain from using wireless. Verizon is continuing the denying the customer if basics path to destruction.
My number is 941706**** listen to the calls to help from your support and realize my outspoken expressions are from the frustrations caused by the lack of service. Remember I'm paying you for a service and I'm not getting it
