Falsely billed for "Viasat Voice"

I’ve been a Viasat customer for over 15 yrs. When they were still Wildblue. I didn’t have problems for years. Now I’m learning how incompetent Viasat is. It all started when I upgraded my plan. They sent me a new modem to self-install. It didn’t work & I made several appts for a technician to come out. Several cancelled, one said I’d have to pay him because viasat refused to. Even though I pay 8.99 a mo. Easy Care. A technician finally came & brought another modem, adjusted my satellite & my upgrade was completed a month after getting the initial modem.

I looked at my bill for May 1st & saw something that didn’t make sense. Viasat Voice was on my bill for a monthly $30 charge. I never signed up for it nor heard of Voice. I called CS & was told I could “cancel the 6 month contract” early & be charged a 50.00 fee. They said Voice is a phone service. So I held on while he checked & confirmed it’s never been used. He couldn’t locate a phone number & didn’t know how I was signed up. But he would cancel it & the 50.00 fee. I asked him to remove the $30.00 charge on my May 1st bill & he said he couldn’t. I didn’t sign or agree to any contract so why should I have to pay when this was done in error by Viasat. Why can’t they answer how this happened?

I want to make sure future payments of Voice are really cancelled & if the $30 fee from May could be taken off my bill or credited for next month.

Hello @jazmin623,

Sorry about this experience, it does sound very frustrating.

I’ll ask our billing team to take a look at your account and hope to have an update soon.

Thanks,

Please, to know it’s definitely cancelled would ease my mind a lot. Thanks.

Hello @jazmin623,

Our billing team credited your account $30.98 for last month’s Voice charge, you will see this amount in your favor in the next bill. Additionally, they confirmed that the Voice subscription has been removed from your account and that the Early Termination Fees have been waived, therefore you won’t be charged again for this add-on product.

We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for being our customer for all these years.

If you encounter any other issues in the future, please feel free to post on this forum topic again.

Thanks,

Nacho
