Verizon (Potential) Customer Service

Today, I used Verizon's Live Chat feature to speak with someone about Verizon's service plans. I have always had Verizon service and was trying to determine how much it would cost at Verizon for a single person to get the same deal as Boost Mobile's Unlimited plan. This plan comes with unlimited domestic calling, text messaging (including text, picture, and video), data, and Walkie-Talkie and also includes callwaiting and voicemail.

I started a chat session with someone from Verizon because I could not find a plan that had the same options as the Boost Mobile plan. I was honest with the sales representative that I wanted to compare their plan with Boost Mobile's, however, they did not seem very willing to help me. Especially frustrating is at the end when they asked me if they could be of further assistance, I said "yea...", and they ended the conversation anyway. What kind of sales department is that??

You can read the conversation for yourself below.

Please wait for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience!
