I came here with my mom. She was looking to finally upgrade her iPhone 4s. The service she received was phenomenal! Ted, the manager, and Lyzet an associate went above and beyond to help her with all her needs. Lyzet opened up her account and looked at her current plan and figured out a way to save her $48 a month with a different plan. Ted waived the cost of the jet pack she was interested in since she also buying a phone, in addition to the activation fee. Ted also discounted the price of her phone by $100! Lyzet took the time to setup both her devices for her. This was especially great because my mom is not so great with that part. This was a time consuming adventure, but Lizet was very patient and kind. I highly recommend coming in and asking for her if you're looking for new service or a new device, she's great! This was definitely a great experience for my mom. Both Lyzet and Ted were awesome, thanks for all your help. We'll be back! This store is located in the back of the mall where the Ritz Camera store used to be. It's close to Walmart and there is plenty of parking close to the store if you need to run in to pay a bill or whatever. It's actually a pretty large sized phone store. It's well organized and clean. We were greeted immediately upon entering. read more

I just wanted to make an honorable mention about Emory! I ordered a phone through him. He was very professional and took the time to answer every question I had. We went over everything until I finally was able to confidently make a decision. When I got home I noted a mistake in my order. I saw him a few days later and what I thought would be some sorta messy ordeal, was handled with the utmost integrity. I was really surprised! I was stressing about the whole process I would have to go through, but it never came to that. Im really happy with the phone I got. He also helped put a nice glass cover on my phone. I would recommend him! read more

Arlette was incredibley patient with my port from AT&T, not something you see in customer service anymore. Give her a raise! Thanks again :)

We understand that all business are short staff but I wish they would told us since the beginning that there was a 2 hour wait and not one hour, we waited patiently, each time we ask they would tell us there's 2 customers ahead of us. Won't be back to this location! read more

Terrible service that started with text message to me that was inaccurate, and then placed on hold to customer support for over 20 m, then 53 minutes today. When I talked to the customer rep about this problem at the store, he said he could not do anything since he is in sales. I asked for management at corporate and he would not provide name. Tried Irvine corporate office, voice mail said call at a later time read more

Absolute scammers. Just paid off a device, went in for a I went in to purchase a I phone 14 pro max which is the phone I wanted. Verizon employee insisted I got the 14 pro because there was a promotion for that phone at the cost of 300 dollars. I agreed to get the phone because I could pay the phone off fast and potentially upgrade when a new model came out. They have a 30 day return policy and after those 30 days pass, I seen may bill and it states they charged me 899.99 for the phone I really never wanted. Completely unhappy with this poor excuse for a phone. I will be leaving verizon asap, so many hidden fees that aren't discussed with you, poor customer service and very expensive. Verizon is a Joke. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Don't even bother trying to call this place . Called four times both my mother and I each time on hold for 2+ hours and never got ahold of anyone . Absolute bs and horrible customer service , canceled my phone order immediately. read more

Verizon - Mobile Phones Near Me - La Mesa, California

Easy to find and access from the parking lot on the south east side (Walmart) of Grossmont Center you will enter and be greeted by a friendly Verizon staff member. They will quickly assess your needs and then set you up with the right person to help you with your job. There may be a little bit of a wait depending on which day you go, and the time, but overall service is quick and the focus is solely on you throughout the visit. read more

Verizon Grossmont shopping center should get a -10 for being helpful, thats how they keep the store empty. When I bought my I Phone 6 plus there the salesperson helped me set it it. I recently got a new phone from Apple store in San Diego at Fashion Valley but forgot to have them fix 2 things, So i went to the Grossmont Verizon store to ask them to fix 2 things, one was to help me set up my email, the Employee Marilee Silva, solutions specialist, refused to help me and stated that was not a Verizon responsible. When asked If I could talk to one of the sales person, as they know how to do that, she said that it was not their responsibility. She told me to go home and call my email provider, which told me to call my phone carrier which is Verizon..... I intent to publish this account in as many places as possible.... Verizon Grossmont store is horrible. In addition the Main Verizon store on Sports Area blvd in San Diego told me they would be happy to help me set anything up. ---- Do not use the Grossmont Verizon... read more

On May 11th an unnamed Verizon "Business Manager" commented on my review, offered a weak apology and thanked me for my feedback. I responded asking him what he's going to do about it and have not heard anything back from him/her. To this day I am still being charged for my "FREE" phone. read more

Bought two new phones at quite a hefty price ,was unable to activate them sooo back to the store of what we thought would be a most unpleasant experience due not so great previous sales person. Fortunately we received help form Emory !! Emory was a calm presence in an otherwise stressful and previous unsatisfactory experience,he was professional ,kind and got the situation rectified !! This is the man to see when going to Verizon ! Thanks again. Pretty much everyone was nice I think the previous sales person may have just been having a bad day ? read more

No local number provided. The only number available routes the caller to a national, automated message. Actually, the message is likely more helpful than the incompetent boobs at that store. Before I finish this review, I will reflect on what dear ol ' grand dad used to say: "Don't write Yelp reviews when you're angry. Wait until the day after the idiots at Verizon screwed up your phone before you memorialize the experience on line." Thanks, gramps. And you'll be hearing about those knuckleheads soon. Oy... read more

I came into the store to get my iPhone 11 Pro updated to the iPhone 14 Pro. The salesman were all very rude and rushed me throughout the whole process while I was transferring all my information from my old phone to my new phone. The guy said he would have to help someone else and return when my phone was uploaded when my phone was finished uploading the guy said I would have to wait 30 minutes for him to put a screen protector on not only that, he didn't finish the deal he never gave me the return label to mail the old phone back so I went to UPS and I found out there was no label I had to return to Verizon and because of the guy guy rushing me along with not finishing the deal and making me wait 30 minutes to put a screen protector on I wasn't sure of many things one being if I had insurance on my new phone, forgetting to give me the sticker to mail my old phone back along with every other salesman being rude, besides one man named Keon. He was the only decent and helpful employee! Getting my iPhone 14 Pro was a nightmare! Now that I have it, I love the actual phone, but would never recommend going to that location to get any services. read more

I had the worst experience at this Verizon location. I wanted to upgrade my phone to the iPhone 12 so I came on a Saturday around 4pm. My husband and I were greeted by a salesman outside taking our info to be put on a waitlist. He seemed really annoyed to even speak with us and tried his hardest just to get rid of us. He said if I wanted to upgrade just to go online and do it. I said I would rather speak to someone so my question get answered about upgrading to 5g. He sighed and said "fine, if you want to wait 3 hours to talk to someone be my guest". I left my name anyway because I figured he must be having a bad day. I went over to the food court and waited. I got a text 45 minutes later saying I was 2nd in line. I thought, they would send me another text when it was my actual turn like they do at Apple, well I was wrong. I went over 30 minutes later to see if it was my turn yet and was greeted by the actual store manager this time. I explained I left my name on the list and was checking the time... well he couldn't find my name. I told him I got a text and have been waiting for another text once it was my turn and so he goes inside to see what happened. He comes out to tell me that text I got was actually a text to tell me it was my turn. I explained that it said I was 2nd in line and he said "I don't know what to tell you. Try another location or go online" No wonder the employees have an ugly attitude, I got a taste of it from their own manager. I'll never go to this location again, and I'm going to tell everyone I meet about the bad experience I had there as well. read more

I don't normally do reviews and just go on this app to look for food but I must review THIS verizon. Every time I go to verizon there is always a problem and it takes what feels like HOURS. This time, it felt painless and only 2 minutes. The people who work there are very helpful especially the guy I didn't catch his name but the African American man was so freaking helpful. U guys r the best. Coming here whenever I need help. Thanks read more

Horrible Service! Make you wait forever and only 3 people in the place. It always takes an hour or two to get in & our Their billing process is awful and the employees are very rude read more

I know that most people have negative things to say about wireless service providers, regardless of the company, but I had the most amazing experience today at the Verizon store in Grossmont center in La Mesa. There is an employee there that really stands out for her knowledge and her demeanor. My mom's phone was stolen today and I went to Verizon to help her out. We were both very frazzled. Marilee S. was the most amazing customer service agent I've dealt with and such a long time. She spent time helping both myself and my mother with issues associated with restoring my account and getting the new phone, and she set me up with a new iPhone X and help transfer my old phone to my mother, a very time-intensive process. Everyone always praises Disney for having an amazing cast members, but if Verizon continues to support and encourage their outstanding employees like Marilee S., They'll earn a reputation for the best in the business. Thanks so much, Verizon! read more

The worst service of my life! The first time I went, the service was quick, but the attendant was super indifferent and didn't give me many options and was impatient. (I was with my host mom 60 years). The second time, the service was super time-consuming. I'm inside the store and I'm outraged because everyone seems to be answering someone, but one of them could answer me, since I've been here for over 40 minutes and he prefers to just walk around. if I could I would no longer have my plan here! Don't waste your time. I've been here for almost an hour! I am very sad! read more

Bradley was super helpful and efficient. In/out with a new phone and accessories very quickly. Even with all the COVID issues/concerns, this store seems to be managing through the pandemic with all the right precautions. read more

The worst service ever ..never go to this place .. nothing will happen to your problem if you ask for help specially when you trade your cellphone for a new line that it will not be credited to the you new line and it's more than a month (phone was given to them) make sure you keep the receipt that they got the cell phone you give ....they are only good if you are buying but after that ... you will be just waiting for a long time even you have appointment. NEVER GO THIS PLACE :( read more

Wow! After two failed attempts at an other location to fix an issue we came here and Lyzet was so quick and competent that this is our store from here on out! Thanks again Lyzet! read more

The Customer Service my wife and I received yesterday was below average;quite honestly, it was poor. I think the guy's name was Matt. My wife needed help with her account and I was going to port a Sprint line over. Verizon had messed up BYOD promo with my mother-in-law, by taking my Wife's device payment and putting it on the BYOD (which already had a paid off S7 EDGE). He wasn't much of a help , he just told my wife to call customer service or something. He asked where we got the phone, we said Bestbuy, and later he was bad mouthing BestBuy. BestBuy wasn't the one who cause the issue, it was VERIZON, Matt....and he didn't seem too interested in the issue;BUT HEY, that's what happens when you ask help from people who only care about their commission, they most likely suck in customer service. Then when it came time to port my number over, it was pretty quick, but he just put the sim in and didn't even wait to see if the line was active, he just said is there anything else while the phone booted up and left. I used to work in Customer Service, and I was pretty good at it. Lot's of people now a days lack the Customer Service skill. Our Previous help from Jessica deserved a 5 star, but I had to update this review to give Matt a 1 star review. read more

I was having some trouble getting my new phone set up and David knew immediately what was wrong. So glad I went into the store, I was getting so frustrated with the technology. read more

I went this location about 2 weeks ago and was greeted by a young man name David. He was so wonderful. I wasnt able to download any apps to my phone and was in desperate need of help. I was going to Maui and needed to have a certain app on my phone to be able to fly there. David took the time to help me clean up my phone, update all that needed to get updated, he even helped me download the app I needed to be able to travel to Maui. I'm not very tech savvy and David was really helpful! This Verizon store is lucky to have such a bright, kind team member. Thank you David!! read more

I came into the store to find out why my online order of a G3 cellphone and Tablet only came with 1 sim card, only to find out one item had it pre-installed lol. Although I'm glad I came in because the #'s my online order came with were nonexistent. Stan helped me with fixing the issues, I highly recommend him - he was patient, nice, courteous, quick, and very helpful. Normally an experience at the Verizon store is dreadful, not today - todays visit was pretty great. If you have to fix issues or set up a new cellphone plan go with Verizon and ask for Stan! read more

I needed assistance with my iPhone last Friday night. Just visiting kids in La Mesa. My phone wasn't functioning properly. It was late. Verizon Wireless at Grossmont Ctr. La Mesa. Three people standing at the front door. None of which looked my way, or greeted me. All deep in conversation. I searched for someone. Pretty busy. Asked one lady if I should take a number? Her response was,"I don't work here. Go ask those people." as she points to the three people at the front of the store. I approach. Ask for assistance. Remarking I didn't know you guys were associates? Never noticing the uniform shirt. None seemed anxious to assist. Eugene steps forward. Takes the device. Blah blah blah. It's restored. Doesn't speak. Seems annoyed. When I asked how & why my device page stuck? His response was canned. Aloof. Dismissive. It's a Great store with a lot of bling for your devices. I'm not a fan of Verizon. For the money we spend over the years. I want, I expect Great customer interaction. I want to be appreciated. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service! They couldn't port my phone number. They lost it for five days. I talked to five different people after being on hold for an hour every day just to get a different answer until they finally got it right. They promised Apple Music for free as long as I have this plan. They promised A $10 per line discount every month for auto pay but when you go to sign up, there's no discount there. The only words that I have to describe this Customer Service is not allowed on these reviews so just imagine what I'm thinking right now. read more

I bought my daughter a new phone and started a new 2 year contract on Oct 8, 2017. I told the female rep that I wanted to build my good credit. I was told that they do report good credit to the credit bureaus. I paid the bill on time for 2 years every month. In October of this year I called up to see if they had reported my excellent credit yet. I was told by another representative that they only report negative credit to the credit bureaus. So the first representative totally misinformed me. Maybe just to get me to buy an iPhone and start a new 2 year contract. Hmmm. I pulled my line from them on Nov 14 of 2019. When I called in to see what my last bill would be, first I was told they would owe me $ 1.33. Then I was told I owed $78.39. So they are billing me for the full month even though it was only used for 6 days. Please be aware of the scamming and misrepresentation by this company and it's sales representatives. Their goal is only to sell phones and contracts they will make promises they do not keep, and the company does not back up what their representatives say. Which is illegal to do in the real world. I will never use their services again. read more

Went to my local verizon store. Emery helped me make the transition from t-mobile to Verizon. He was very helpful and thorough! I went to the tmobile store that was 3 doors down so they can help retrieve a code that I needed. Tmobile did not help me they told me to call customer service. One the employees at Verizon told me that I can get the number off the tmobile app. Like , how did tmobile not know this but Verizon did. Im glad I switched! Thank you to the Verizon family in Grossmont! read more

I will begin by letting you know that I am not a Verizon customer but was floored by the help I still received from Kynan Pearce. I had an unlocked Verizon phone that I was trying to connect to a different provider but the phone was asking for a Verizon activation before it could be used. It was 20 minutes to closing and Kynan had two other customers he was working with when I had walked in. Without denying those customers any attention he helped me register my phone in between the moments he had free. Kynan took better care of me than my own service provider. If your looking for Verizon service give your business to Kynan. He is sincere, attentive and knowledgeable. read more

I came in to simply port over a phone number from my previous provider, as we recently joined a new Verizon family plan. From walking through the door, the staff never seemed too interested in my needs, and in the brief dialog we had, the most helpful thing she did was put me on the phone with another rep (who's customer service was much better). She did not even hang around the area while I gave the phone rep my information, so I had to find her again once that call had ended and (hope) that was all that was needed to be done. It was not. I had to come back the next day because no one mentioned that I'd be needing a new SIM card. I came back after work, spoke to a new staff member, who was at least a bit more cordial, but while swapping out the SIM card she BENT the SIM tray in my iPhone X, to the point where it was a jagged hook protruding from the side of my phone. When I told her about it, she just looked at it and said, and I quote, "...we don't sell that piece by itself." So, not only did she bend the tray, but had the audacity to think it was on me to buy a replacement. Great service. I would absolutely stay away from this branch if at all possible. read more

10/16/21 GROSSMONT VERIZON Management should be fired or demoted back to Assistant managers for allowing poor service. Thankfully there was a 5 star STAR employee named "RAFAEL BAHENA". Here is our story........"My family had a terrible experience purchasing 4 iPhone 13 pro max $$$$$. We received our phones from ups. I went back to the store " explaining we are having issues returning the phones online". I explained we purchased the phones at this store location and Verizon online said it's better to go to the store we purchased them from. I explained my situation and I encountered an employee who was being extremely condescending and rude. She would not look up our account or help. Finally since I would not leave and kept on telling her numerous times....you can look our info up from your store computer (definitely going back so I can get her name) but she did not want to be bothered to do this task. She finally printed out my receipt and gave the necessary info , so that i could return our phones to the store. On 10/16/21 I returned with all my phones expecting poor service and having do all the work myself. But instead "RAFAEL BAHENA" was a ROCK star . He returned all of my phones . I received $800 credit for each phone ($3200). He was professional and had a great attitude. Thank you RAFAEL BAHENA. Let's all complain to corporate to get new management. read more

The absolute worst customer service. They promised me one thing $1000 gift card and $ for my phones $790 for my phones. But now I found out I'm on a 3 year contract!! Never do business with these guys!! read more

Unfortunately I have to write a negative review. Do not purchase a phone from this store, the phone I purchased was pre owned and resold to me as new.. which I found out a year later when I broke it and it was registered to someone else. The phone I had before this one they said they could not connect, which I gave to someone else who promptly connected it through Verizon. I brought the phone back after having the screen fixed and apple telling me it was registered to someone else, to see if they can at least give me some insight to why the failures are happening in their store. "Seek legal advice." Before going into the store I called corporate to give me insight. They said the phone was refurbished and to take it back to the store to get compensation. Of course I'm going back to corporate and calling Apple to see it through to the end. Manager was as nice as he could be, but ultimately failed in resolving anything. This is not a location you ever want to bring your business. Good luck. read more

Terrible customer service I understand with COVID your limited with a mask but seriously you can make some effort. I couldn't even tell you who helped us if that's what you want to call it she said her name so quickly and just wanted to move us along I could have done it online from home and been better off so I guess that's what we will do next time don't waste your time coming to this location read more

Brought a phone today paid the taxes after that the girl brought me the phone still in the box I asked her was she going to turn it on she told me I could do it at home which was already weird I went home & let's just say I ended up phoneless for two hours until I went back up to Verizon & some guy help me out while he stood at the front and watched videos with one of his coworkers this place sucks who gives the box to a customer and lets them figure it out from there ? read more

Came in just to buy a phone case. They immediately put me on a waiting list because for some reason it takes 20minutes to buy a case. The store is almost empty..... Very very very slow service. read more

We came in and was told it was a 30 min wait -4 people ahead- no problem we said. We came back in VZW when it's 5 mins left of the 30 min wait and told there was 1 person ahead of us. So walked around the store while we waited then 3 people who came in after us were helped after us and there was 3 male employees just standing around talking about Facebook and YouTube for 10 mins so we left. When we told the 3 guys that were standing by the check instand he says hey we are going down the list of waiting costumes Very disappointed do not recommend this location. read more
