- ^^^ Amazing how you people work for VZW and don't know this, but your customers know. Why is that? Do you guys in customer service not hear these calls when they come in and then perhaps (when you realize you don't have the answer and apperently people keep calling in with this) that you take it up with your supervisor and ask as to what's going on. Why don't more CSRs think that way. Everyone that's a robot in CS I've ever dealt with seems to just go by a script like a robot. The really special cats have the ability to think out of the box and when something like this comes up they can find out themselves of a more official statement. Even if you can't do anything about it, wording it something along the lines of "I'm sorry, I know exactly what you're refering to, but we have been asked to no honor the flyer or give any official statements on the matter by management. I know you feel dissapointed, but this is all I am allowed to express to you. I can however let you speak with my supervisor if you feel this is an inadequate responce to the matter." Let your supervisors take the flak for it and perhaps "corporate" would change their ways of doing business.11-19-08 09:22 AMLike 0

- There are plenty of things that VZW could improve upon, such as informing us of upcoming promotions like this one. I can't speak for all reps, but I am of the sort that will try to help in any way I can. Of course, I will always get a customer to a sup if they want one and let them take the flak. This promotion came out of nowhere and it is causing a huge uproar with our customers. I'd say a good half of my calls for the past 2 days are all about this sale. All we can do is try to move up the upgrade date if it is w/in 30days or so and maybe give some sort of credit if they can upgrade already. Case by case basis. Are some reps better than others? **** yeah! Everyday I have to fight with others that have no clue what they are doing and fix the accounts they have so skillfully screwed up. Everyday is a fun day! lol11-19-08 09:31 AMLike 0

- Call your local store and get a manager on the phone, they seem to have participated in the mtg's, webcasts, etc. and understand what the process will be ....11-19-08 09:34 AMLike 0

- Indeed. I am still unsure about what everyone here is saying about telesales doing preorders. We haven't been told anything about preorders, just that we can't do them. I know we can order the accessories, but not the phone.11-19-08 09:40 AMLike 0

- it's always like this. somehow I always seem to know more about the car I want to buy then the salesman trying to sell it to me knows. it's the same with employees--I know more ways around all these problems than anyone in my local VZW store. I learned more about the storm and it's release from this site that I did from the people in the store. it's the economy, haha.11-19-08 10:08 AMLike 0

- I use to work in a golf retail shop.. customers use to always come ask me if this or that was out yet. I had no idea. I lost intrest. I did not want to research what was comming out or what is the next big thing becuase I already worked 40 hrs in and around golf..., it gets old. That is probably why so many people get different answers.
Bah.. maybe we should all work for a wireless company.11-19-08 10:21 AMLike 0 - I get a different answer anytime I call telesales, or call circuit city, or call a Verizon store. I even get different answers when I go to a store in person. I'm just going to wait until Friday see how this thing shakes out.11-19-08 10:25 AMLike 0

- I called them today. Here is my situation. I just got a new 8330 two weeks ago on my NE2. So, my plan was to just return it (within 30 days) and get a new storm. However when I called today, the rep told me because I am a VIP with the "Private Sale" flyer that I am eligible for a storm for $249 and a $50 mail in rebate bringing it down to $199. I specifically asked if I could just keep my 8330, and he said yes because I am a VIP I don't need to wait for my NE2 which isn't till 2010. Now, should I keep my 8330 and try to sell it? It only cost me $50 on my NE2 two weeks ago. What's a new 8330 worth? I was figuring I would just go back to the same store on Friday AM where I got the 8330 and do the swap for a storm.11-19-08 09:10 PMLike 0
