No sound and constantly looses connection

Cmsavanna . 3 months ago

I've had this phone for a long time. About 6 months ago the media volume started only playing for 5 seconds then it would be nothingness. Contacted Samsung about the issue and was told that I would need to take my phone in. I stuck it out because I did not have the money for a new phone. My phone will just randomly disconnect from service. I know it is a phone issue because every phone in my house is on Verizon and does not do that. No other phone I have ever had has done this.

Under free phones . Oct 4, 2023

Is the phone really free? Is there a shipping and handling fee? Do I have to put any credit card on line before I'm excepted

Answer from Verizon Customer Support7 months

This phone does have a current promotion for new customers and new lines of service where a bill credit reduces its monthly cost to $0. There would still be applicable sales taxes and activation fees due at the point of sale, and we do offer a free shipping option (expedited shipping does cost extra). Please contact us for more specific promotional details: https://www.verizon.com/support/contact-us/ -Joseph
