I've been trying to call for several days to find out what the return process was. I went out there today and was told that all returns were being done online. I was given a link. In going to that link I was taken to a chat program. After 45 minutes I was told that I needed to return it to the place I had just left. I went back and was told, for the first time, not when I purchased the product, not when I was on the chat, not when I was there the first time, earlier that day, but just now, that they have a 14-day return policy and that since this was day 16 they would not processing a return. Now mind you, I understand there is a pandemic. But that pandemic has not one time prevented them from billing me every penny and on the day it was owed. So it seems like the pandemic gate only swings one way. Terrible service. Makes Comcast look like five-star hotel service by comparison.

She needed a new phone, and a new number, AND I needed to be able to monitor her activity. These two spent over 3 1/2 HOURS with us making sure we got the best deal, and most hassle-free options. This was not an easy decision to have to make for my mom and me and they helped her maintain her dignity, answered all of our questions with the most patience, and were friendly and compassionate the entire time. Again: Sarah and Mike. HUGE thanks to you both!

I had accidentally purchased a Verizon phone on bestbuy.com. I came in to get it activated, and…read morethey actually activated it for the minimum amount of money (a $35 one time paygo plan) with no upselling, lying or hard selling. The service rep, Sarah, activated and set up the phone as part of the process. I have had such terrible experiences with multiple other carriers that I was thrilled that the rep at this store actually helped me out without trying to scam me. If we ever decide to switch carriers, we will definitely look at Verizon first.

This was by far the WORST experience of my life when trying to buy an iPhone 12! The…read morerepresentative, Annie, and her colleague Miranda, completely messed my order up. They activated a new plan before activating the new phone. The technical support team could not be reached on that Saturday to fix the problem, so I was without my original phone number all weekend. Having had this phone number since 1998 AND being stuck in the store for 2 hours, I was very frustrated. They activated another phone number, so I had one for the weekend. On Monday, they called and asked me to activate the PIN code, so I could have my old number attached to my old phone. When trying to activate my old number, however, they ran into more difficulties and my phone was dinged as having fraudulent activity connected to it. Rather than taking care of this issue at the store, I had to talk to Verizon for a solid hour to resolve the problem. I would NEVER advise ANYONE to EVER buy something from this store. I'll stick to the corporate Verizon store or go through the online process to upgrade again. Be wary of going to this establishment.

After explaining my current situation and future needs, I liked the fact that they just didn't try to bring me down a single option path. Instead, they provided a few possible solutions. In addition, they also didn't pressure me to switch then and there and close the deal, which to me is a big plus. I have yet to decide if I'm going to switch my provider, but if I do, I'll certainly be giving Wireless Mike's my business !

Luckily Verizon took care of me and credited my account. Beware...this place is not truthful or upfront about fees.

They said there was nothing they could do. Said it wasn't their problem. We said you mean you can sell a defective product costing $700 and you can't do anything?? They said nope. They didn't know how to replace a phone. So go someone else that will stand behind what they sell. They also told us to leave their store!! So now we are stuck with a $700 phone that doesn't to a damn thing!! Dylan and Jonathan were both employees who didn't give a crap that they basically took us for a ride!! I don't even want to give them one star but I was forced to. Only way Yelp would publish!!
