My prepaid $50 plan is set up to automatically debit my credit card for the full monthly amount when it's due.
- I get a text message 3 days before the due date that I need to make a $50.00 payment by the due date.
- I then get a text message ON the due date (at 2:07 IN THE MORNING) that $50.00 has been added to my account (because of autopay).
- I then get another message later in the morning of the same day that my Auto Pay payment was processed.
This is so annoying that I am considering STRONGLY changing carriers:
- Since my plan is on AUTOPAY, I DON'T NEED or have use for the first message.
- The second message seems:
- REDUNDANT - since I will also receive the confirmation message later that day.
- INCONSIDERATE - since it is sent at 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
- STUPID - since I am on AUTOPAY, I should only get a message if AUTOPAY FAILS, and then not at 2:00 IN THE MORNING!
- The second message seems:
- UNNECESSARY - since I am on AUTOPAY.
- STUPID - since I am on AUTOPAY, I should only get a message if AUTOPAY FAILS!!!
- I cannot find a support person in any part of Verizon who can fix this calling *611.
- I cannot find a place on my userid where I CAN CHANGE IT MYSELF.
- I like Verizon but I am sufficiently annoyed to change carriers if this simple software change can't or won't be made, or if I don't receive an acceptable response from Verizon in this forum, where it is accessable by other users.
