I just got the same message from this number & they knew my name i called my cell phone carrier & had them block the number because the message said they were my cell phone carrier & when i called them they said they didnt call
Sure are a lot of ignorant people. Harrassment, etc. It's verizon - you owe your bill. No reason to be so defensive on this site. Answer it, tell them you can't pay yet but what the plan is - always better to talk to a bill collector than ignore. No - it's not harrassment. You signed a contract saying you'd pay and during daytime hours they have every right to contact you via phone to try to collect payment.
Bob - don't get a phone for your kid with their name on it if you can't pay. Get a pay-as-you-go plan.
this has called me before, claims to be verizon. guess what? i never had, nor will i ever have verizon, nor have i ever been late on a payment for anything in my life!!!
