I came in out of urgency as my phone stopped being able to hold a charge and keep it. Also was an att customer and needed to switch to my husbands plan. Eric was super helpful to calm me down during a work day for this to happen and took care of everything and went back to work! Highly recommend!

My phone was dying, other stores were out of the phones I wanted. Russells had one Google pixel 6 left. Saleswoman was super helpful, answered all my questions about the phone. I bought it and all the data from my old phone was transferred in 11 minutes. A really pleasant, easy experience.

Came to buy a n emergency phone just a few minutes before closing time and the man working refused to sell to me. I told him I was a guaranteed sale and he flat out said no, I close in a few minutes. I ended up spending well over $1000 at Best Buy down the street. Too bad he works on commission and refused the sale. I will NEVER go to this location again.Rudest customer service Ive ever experienced.

Wong was pleasant, patient, kind, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely accommodating. He knows his stuff and takes care of you like you’re family. So glad that our paths crossed. He saved me from potential headaches, which is what customer service is all about!

Eric, the guy who helped me, not only went above and beyond to get me the best deal and make sure all of my details were in order but also was just a flat out good guy. I was there for a while but never bothered nor bored, solely entertained by conversation w Eric! Couldn’t recommend his service enough.

Ashley was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She explained everything she was doing as she was doing it. I have never in all my years of going to a Verizon store for assistance got such perfect service in every way. Keep an eye out for Ashley she will be a great asset in advancing with Verizon...I

My husband just went into this store to get help with transferring data from his old to the newly purchased phone. He was charged $25.00 just for transferring the data. Weve been a Verizon customer for many years and never have the experience of being charge for data transfers. Clerk said that ...because you did not buy the phone from us.... Be careful with this store and their charges.

Ashley was great. I stopped in to upgrade my phone and she was professional and fast...it probably would have been the fastest phone change ever but then Verizons system went down. Ashley hung in and was able to get my upgrade through over the phone, persisting to make sure I got the right deal. Thanks Ashley - - great service!

I entered the store, and saw that one of the two workers was sitting with his mask pulled down off of his mouth and nose. I did not feel safe due to the rise in the delta variant of COVID-19, so I left immediately. I was very disappointed since this location has good reviews and the website indicated that masks were required here. Hopefully the staff can be redirected on the importance of wearing masks indoors during the covid pandemic, covering the mouth and nose at all times while indoors,for the safety of themselves and others.

Eric at Russell Cellular in Watertown Square was beyond professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. We ran an errand and were a few minutes late returning, catching him as he was running a work errand. He came right back in and finished with us - and was kind about our lateness. Definitely would work with him again!

They are a retail an Authorized Retailer, not a Direct Verizon Store.DONT GO HERE for new line otherwise they are going to charge you $30 per new line. Just go to a Direct Verizon Store ; Sim Cards are free at Direct Verizon Stores. Some Authorized Retailer are charging for SIM Cards, like this shopSince Verizon charges $35 / new line. If you have 4 lines, youre going to pay 4 * (30$ + 35$) + taxes instead of 4 * 35$ + taxes.

I had a great experience here. It was honestly the quickest I have been able to turn in a cellphone and get a new one! Anthony was knowledgeable and it wasn’t like other stores where they try and pressure you into a bunch of different things. He listened to what I want and ensured I got the product I wanted for the best price. If you are a Verizon customer definitely go here!

My phone unexpectedly died today, I tried to troubleshoot it, to no avail, the staff at IM Wireless told me to come in and they would take a look at it. After they did everything they could to try to fix it they set me up with a new 5G phone. Great service and awesome staff.

Jay is the best. I needed a new phone and communicated with him via text (so much easier than calling!). When my new phone arrived I couldn’t get out of the house with 3 young kids on different schedules to drop off my old phone for transfer and pick up my new phone. Jay came by my house, picked up my phone for me and transferred everything from my old phone over. Unbelievable service!!

Review №39

Man at the counter was rude, dismissive, interrupted, and rushed me. His answer to my question was that there wasnt anything they could do and when I mentioned I had insurance, he said they dont help with anything but replacing SIM cards. He didnt even provide me with contact information for the insurance customer service even when I asked. He also was not wearing a mask and there is an indoor mask mandate in the town we were in.

Ashley went ABOVE & BEYOND for me to make sure my trade in and upgrade went according as planned. Due to the complexity of the transaction she had to call the Verizon tech support because the computer wasn’t registering all the discounts etc. Ashley made sure I was aware of how long this process would take and why it was happening so as a customer I felt taken care of. While waiting her and Robert Irving kept me company and showed me all the benefits of my choices as well as explained the accessories I could get with my phone and I chose to purchase. I left the store satisfied and excited to use my new iPhone and Apple Watch! She deserves a medal for staying there until close to figure it out with me! Highly would recommend her to my friends as well as recommend Robert who told me about all the promotions and tax free weekend in the first place.

Went in early around 9:20am today, 1 person in front of me. Single and only Verizon employee helping him said would be a few minutes. Waited 45 minutes and they didnt appear close to finishing. About 3 more people came in and everyone waiting for assistance. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Why have a single employee running a store if it will take forever to assist customers?

I recently purchased a new phone at this store. David was very helpful walking me through the available account options. He answered all of my questions thoroughly. When the phone came in he was able to very quickly port over my number and transfer my data. I also have to mention that Eric was also courteous and helpful during a couple of my visits and the gentleman, who I believe was the owner, even offered me some coffee while I waited for David to finish up with a customer. I am very pleased with my experience at this Verizon store and will be recommending them to others.

When I first came in Ashley was working with a person that was deaf and mute. As I sat there and watched her doing her best to communicate with the lady with the little bit of sign language that she could do. The lady was so happy, just so happy for the time that Ashley spent showing her the phone and the features. I don’t mind waiting...it took about maybe 5-10 minutes and it was a pleasure to watch know what’s going on in the world today.Ashley’s customer service is so welcoming at that location in Watertown, she even convince me to get a new phone and I’m coming back in next week to get a tablet for my mom. The service that my company and I have received was outstanding! You have a good employee and I actually told her that! Thank You for the Awesome Experience!Nate BettsAtlas Asphalt & Sealcoat

Andrew is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and timely. He is always able to answer any and all of my (in addition to my four other family members) questions in great detail with clear product & service knowledge. His friendly demeanor makes all of our visits a pleasure rather than an errand on a to-do list. It is clear through any interaction with him that he is an incredibly dedicated young man. I can genuinely say that he is one of those rare finds in the world today that consider the job done only when the customer is *happy* as well as satisfied. Go see Andrew! He is sure to help you out with any and all of your needs! You are guaranteed to walk out the door as happy as a kid riding a bike for the first time, or if sweets are youre thing, as blissful as a kid in a candy shop 👌🙌👍😃

I have never been in a store where the environment and staff was just so positive and friendly they dont try to force anything on you they ard very knowledgeable about the products and always have some killer bundles and promotions going on. I would recommend this store everyone. The manager Andy Is a Roaring success. In addition the owner if you ever get the chance to meet him is a very humble caring and respectable gentleman will never go any where else for my Verizon needs. Awesome experience and pleasure working with all the staff. 10 stars

I came in for an early upgrade, and before they told me I’d have to pay the tax (about $90!) upfront and it can’t just be put on the next bill cycle, they took off my screen protector, then told me I couldn’t pay the remaining $ towards the early upgrade in cash, and now I’m left without a screen protector, same old phone, not to mention my charger/headphones are both broken.And I’ve sat here for an hour and a half and this “sales rep” is just sitting there on her phone in silence instead of trying to see what she can do to make sure I don’t leave unhappy.Very poor customer service.Makes me want to switch services.I just left.

Ashley was awesome. Easiest process Ive ever had. That said the pricing is high. I dont mind paying various markups to help out a local business.. but $50 just to transfer my data?

Review №91

A Hidden Gem! My sister and I were due for an upgrade and realized the store we usually go to for phones, in Everett, was no longer open. We decided to try Watertown since it was nearby. Wow, what a completely different experience than what we were used to when buying new phones! Weve gone to the store in Everett and Portsmouth and never had a great experience nor did we get out of the store in under 2.5 hours. Andrew Fung helped us as soon as walked in and was so helpful and informative on phone models and what would best fit our needs. He also informed us of a current promotion with accessories and a $250 rebate. He transferred all of our information from both phones and we were in and out and super happy with the experience. He didnt try to sell us anything we didnt need and he was wonderful to work with. We will be going to this store EVERY TIME in the future. No wait, no sales pitch, and great staff etc Perfect!

We love this store as it is at a very convenient location and offer great service. We bought new phones from them and were having issues submitting the rebate online. We even called Verizon help line and rebate center. Both were unable to resolve our issue. However with the help of this IM Wireless store, we were able to submit our rebate successfully! Thanks to the very knowledgable, helpful and professional staff. We highly recommend this store to anyone who is looking for hands on, great and courteous service. 👍👍
