Vonage A local store was offering a $200 rebate if I signed up for a year of Vonage service.
A local store was offering a $200 rebate if I signed up for a year of Vonage service. I was already a long-term Vonage customer, so I called the ironically named Vonage customer service to ask if I could do this and simply pick up an additional year obligation. I was told no sweat, just sign up as a new account, and they could move the number to the new account later. As usual with Vonage, this person was very heavily accented, probably overseas.
I made the purchase, then called customer service to get my old number transferred and was told they had to merge the accounts. I don’t know what their system is or the difference between transfer and merge so I told her what I was doing and she said this would be the best method to end up where I wanted to be.
Didn’t check the account for awhile. When I did I saw that I’d ended up with two numbers on the same account at a higher charge. Then, I get a charge on my card for $200. A call through their voice menu hell to customer service. This CS rep said was because the accounts were merged thus the rebate wasn't usable. They'd have someone higher that could fix the problem get in touch with me within 24-48 hours.
A week later still no call, no email. I call back, go through the voice system hell, and am again assured someone who could fix the problem will get back to me within 24-48 hours. A week later, still not hearing anything, I call back and talk to Customer service, (Shari, she was very polite though powerless in a difficult situation) get told after 40 minutes on the phone that I'm screwed in spite of doing what customer service said to do all along the line, and just to make sure the burn hurts, I’ll get charged a disconnect fee if I want to leave. I asked for someone in charge’s name and address to do a snail mail, but she couldn’t give me anyone’s name. Just the corporate office street address. Wow. Not even anyone in charge, I guess. Or maybe they’re in India.
I’m out $200 plus a disconnect fee (I’m switching to anybody but Vonage) for doing what customer service said to do. No recourse, no access to anyone in charge of anything. She asked me what they could do to keep me as a customer. I can’t imagine anything, can you?
