Am I Eligible for Special Discounts?

Updated:

If you're a Postpay customer, you may be eligible for a discount if you are and remain affiliated with an organization that has an agreement with Verizon Wireless. Unless your discount is through a government employee discount program, Verizon Wireless may share certain information about your Service (including your name, your wireless telephone number and your total monthly charges) with your organization from time to time to make sure you're still eligible. Verizon Wireless may adjust or remove your discount according to your organization's agreement with them, and remove your discount if your eligibility ends or your contract term expires. In any case, this won't be considered to have a material adverse effect on you.

What If My Wireless Device Gets Lost Or Stolen?

Updated:

It's important that you notify Verizon Wireless right away, so they can suspend your Service to keep someone else from using it. If you're a Postpay customer and your wireless device is used after the loss or theft but before you report it, and you want a credit for any charges for that usage, Verizon Wireless is happy to review your account activity and any other information you'd like Verizon Wireless to consider. Keep in mind that you may be held responsible for the charges if you delayed reporting the loss or theft without good reason, but you don't have to pay any charges you dispute while they are being investigated. If you are a California customer and Verizon Wireless hasn't given you a courtesy suspension of recurring monthly charges during the past year, Verizon Wireless will give you one for 30 days or until you replace or recover your wireless device, whichever comes first.

How Can I Prevent Unintended Charges On My Bill?

Updated:

Many services and applications are accessible on or through wireless devices, including purchases of games, movies, music and other content. Some of these services are provided by Verizon. Others are provided by third parties that may offer the option to bill the charges to your Verizon bill or other methods of payment. Charges may be one–time or recurring. The amount and frequency of the charges will be disclosed to you or the person using your device or a device associated with your account at the time a purchase is made. If the purchaser chooses to have the charges billed to your account, such charges will become part of the amount due for that billing cycle.Verizon offers tools to block or restrict these services, and to block all billing for third–party services on your Verizon wireless bill, at verizonwireless.com/myverizon. Verizon Wireless does not support calls to 900, 976 and certain other international premium rate numbers.

How Does Verizon Calculate My Charges?

Updated:

You agree to pay all access, usage and other charges that you or any other user of your wireless device incurred. If multiple wireless devices are associated with your account, you agree to pay all charges incurred by users of those wireless devices. For charges based on the amount of time used or data sent or received, Verizon Wireless will round up any fraction to the next full minute or, depending on how you're billed for data usage, the next full megabyte or gigabyte. For outgoing calls, usage time starts when you first press Send or the call connects to a network, and for incoming calls, it starts when the call connects to a network (which may be before it rings). Usage time may end several seconds after you press End or after the call disconnects. For calls made on our network, Verizon Wireless charges only for calls that are answered, including by machines. For Postpay Service, usage cannot always be processed right away and may be included in a later bill, but the usage will still count towards your allowance for the month when the Service was used.

Where and How Does Verizon Wireless Service Work?

Updated:

Wireless devices use radio transmissions, so unfortunately you can't get Service if your device isn't in range of a transmission signal. And please be aware that even within your Coverage Area, many things can affect the availability and quality of your Service, including network capacity, your device, terrain, buildings, foliage and weather.

Can I Have Someone Else Manage My Postpay Account?

Updated:

No problem – just tell Verizon Wireless by phone, in person, or in writing. You can appoint someone to manage your Postpay account. The person you appoint will be able to make changes to your account, including adding new lines of Service, buying new wireless devices, and extending your contract term. Any changes that person makes will be treated as modifications to this Agreement.

Can I Take My Wireless Phone Number to Another Carrier?

Updated:

You may be able to transfer, or "port", your wireless phone number to another carrier. If you port a number from Verizon Wireless, they will treat it as though you asked Verizon Wireless to cancel your Service for that number. After the porting is completed, you won't be able to use the service for that number, but you'll remain responsible for all fees and charges through the end of that billing cycle, just like any other cancellation. If you're a Prepaid customer, you won't be entitled to a refund of any balance on your account. If you port a number to Verizon Wireless, please be aware that Verizon Wireless may not be able to provide some services right away, such as 911 location services. You don't have any rights to your wireless phone number, except for any right you may have to port it.

What Happens If My Postpay Service is Canceled Before the End Of My Contract Term?

Updated:

If you're signing up for Postpay Service, you're agreeing to subscribe to a line of Service either on a month–to–month basis or for a minimum contract term, as shown on your receipt or order confirmation. (If your Service is suspended without billing or at a reduced billing rate, that time doesn't count toward completing your contract term.) Once you've completed your contract term, you'll automatically become a customer on a month–to–month basis for that line of Service.If you cancel a line of Service, or if Verizon Wireless will cancel it for good cause, during its contract term, you'll have to pay an early termination fee. If your contract term results from your purchase of an advanced device, your early termination fee will be $350, which will decline by $10 per month upon completion of months 7–17, $20 per month upon completion of months 18–22, $60 upon completion of month 23 and will be $0 upon completion of the contract term. For other contract terms entered into on or after November 14, 2014, your early termination fee will be $175, which will decline by $5 per month upon completion of months 7–17, $10 per month upon completion of months 18–22, $30 upon completion of month 23 and will be $0 upon completion of your contract term. If you cancel service, you may have to immediately pay off the remaining balance on any device agreement. Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month's billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then. Also, if you bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or third–party vendor, you should check whether it charges a separate termination fee.

What is the Information Of Cancellation At Verizon Wireless?

Updated:

You can cancel a line of Service within 14 days of accepting this Agreement without having to pay an early termination fee as long as you return, within the applicable return period, any equipment you purchased from Verizon Wireless or one of their authorized agents at a discount in connection with your acceptance of this Agreement, but you'll still have to pay for your Service through that date. If you signed up for Prepaid Service, no refunds will be granted after 14 days or if your account has been activated.
