Why did Verizon stop using their slogan " Verizon, we never stop working for you"?

They stopped, well, some people called it false advertising, and sued them for using it, because they actually do stop working for you between 11pm est and 7 am mst.

I worked for AT&T for just over 7 years till they "downsized" our entire building. They sent the jobs to the Phillipines which they had slowly been doing all along. Just like I would tell my customers that would complain, "you think it is bad...you should experience it from the inside". AT&T is evil, they're no longer regulated on their pricing as when they were a monopoly. Which is basically what they are again.

Try searching that slogan at the USPTO site. If a Federal trademark exists for that slogan, you'll find it there.

What's the symbol?  It's possible that the symbol is no longer valid.  It may have changed (this happened with Phillip Morris, which became Altria), the company may have been bought out and been absorbed into the new parent company (as happened with Compaq when they were purchased by Hewlett-Packard) or the company may have been delisted.\n\nIf any of those things happened, they wouldn't be on *any* financial site, Yahoo! or otherwise.

If your an autorized distributor then check with Verizon or your other Manufacturers on what distributors they have near your area.\n\nTIP - Don't use wholesale as a key word because wholesale is just the pricing category, distributors take care of their clients and assist with marketing and advertising.\n\nHope this helps\nMatt

They want to make it harder to cancel the service than to just keep it and keep paying.  AOL actually had a class action suit they settled for using just such a business practice.  Just hang in there, and keep records of your calls.

It means their business would go kaput if they were not to take care of their customers. Because in this world of high level competition if customers are not taken care of  or are neglected then some other competitor would try and take away the customer for sure.

It doesn't officially stand for anything anymore, but it used to be "Entertainment." Now they don't acknowledge that the acronym stands for anything other than ESPN.

I've wondered the same thing\nhttp://www.powerlinecommunications.net/powerlineglossary.htm\nIt appears it has sort of fizzled out, but it is still in existence.

Take the experience of a well-known cell phone manufacturer we’ll call CellTech. In the mid-1990s, CellTech was at the top of its game. But later in the decade, new players flooded the market, and analog cell phones slipped along the product lifecycle curve toward commoditization. CellTech sought to stem its shrinking margins by developing the next wave of industry innovation: digital cell phones. \n\nAlthough CellTech had a new business strategy, it lagged in devising a new people strategy to support it. The company neither acquired nor developed the skills in its workforce that would enable it to create and produce the new technology in time. Because CellTech had never developed the human capital strategy process that would have enabled it to anticipate a new workforce need based on a changing business strategy, it was unable to execute its plan in a timely way. It lost significant market share and millions in potential revenues.

They did the same thing to me too.  I moved out of their network and their mover's connect people said that since I moved against my will (military move) I could get outta my contract.  Well it took a month and a half before they shut down my phone and they billed me for it (which was fine I used it),  I paid my last bill in sept., then in March of the next year a collection agency called me up saying that I owed them over a thousand dollars.  Well long story short after 6 months of calls, faxes and letters to their cust. care center they finally said to hell with it and refunded me the money (I paid it so I wouldn't be bothered by the collection agency anymore... which I wouldn't recomend untill they admit guilt).  Just remember this dude. "the Sqeaky wheel gets the grease."  \nP.S. Everytime you call them it cost Verizon $8.50 so just keep calling them, eventually they'll give in!!!!\n\n\nP.S.S. Amy your completely full of sh** the only headway I got from verizon is when I started yelling, screaming, kicking, and bit**ing.  So unless you've been through it shut the he** up!  I also went into there store and they were complete morons in there, twice they acctually tried to resign me.... sh** after all the bs they put me through anytime anyone tells me there thinking of verizon I tell them my story!!!!!!!

I used to work there, I quit in 2005.  I was in customer service and sales, a big call center.  I was hired in 1998 when they really needed people, I wouldn't think you would  need to know someone.I do know now they are At&t, they have employees all over the world, I was working in Northern California and some offices closed.

What comes to mind is Smokey the Bear and him saying "only you can prevent forest fires".  \n"Don't tread on me" is another good one, but that is the slogan on the Gadsen Flag.

No, that was just a Republican political slogan to try to scare the 'security Moms'.  Too bad  for them that demographic didn't exist this time.

=it drives me crazy as does the word "clearly.  It should have expired a couple of years ago but it is still going strong. It is used often in the news as well!  I can appreciate what you are saying.

Dude! thats what i'm sayin!\nIn a slightly surreal 2005 TV ad, a middle-aged corporate executive is telling a young clerk about how he has a certain cellphone plan that gives him total freedom and that it's his way of "Sticking it to The Man!" The clerk responds, "But, you are The Man!" The Man says, "I know!" The clerk says, "So you're sticking it to yourself?" After a short pause, The Man concedes, "Maybe."

There's a difference between filling a need and creating a need. When cell phones were first invented, no one really knew what they had been missing without them so there was no need. Now they are everywhere, they are needed because we know what it's like not to have them. A good marketing agent capitalizes on the known market and also tries to make new ones that didn't exist. Neither aspect is lying, it's being proactive and inventive.
