Verizon to Charge $30 fee for ALL upgrades...

Verizon to intro $30 upgrade fee on April 22nd


Verizon Wireless on Wednesday confirmed that it will soon begin charging subscribers a $30 upgrade fee when they purchase new wireless equipment on contract. Verizon is currently the only major carrier that does not charge customers a fee when upgrading their devices on a new two-year contract — AT&T and Sprint each charge customers $36 to upgrade to a new device on contract, and T-Mobile charges an $18 upgrade fee. ”On April 22, Verizon Wireless is implementing a $30 upgrade fee for existing customers purchasing new mobile equipment at a discounted price with a two-year contract,” the carrier said in a statement. “This fee will help us continue to provide customers with the level of service and support they have come to expect which includes Wireless Workshops, online educational tools, and consultations with experts who provide advice and guidance on devices that are more sophisticated than ever.”

lol its easy to get those waived

not now really, i mean if u want to !! moan and complain call customer service im sure they will waive it, but i aint got the energy for all that. im buyin online !! the dumb !!

I dont !! and moan and never paid an upgrade fee with any carrier ever, its 1 simple question to ask and they alway say yes.

Since im a good customer can i get the fee waved? Yes sure. Thanks.

No energy at all.

It's more beneficial these days to switch carriers at the end of your 2-year contract due to the money you can save. Activation fees can often be waived and you can most definitely find much better deals on phones as a new customer.

However, thats why companies are allowing early upgrades more leniently now (they rather not)... but doing an early upgrade probably means you won't get a fee waived.

I wonder when people are gonna just buy the phone outright then just get on unlimited prepaid or month to month plan like me :D...unlimited data.....GIT LIK I !!! lol

I buy all my phones of contract and have unlimited data and the backing of a major network

this is bs cuz ur paying to stay with them theres no benefit to stay with them

Basically they wanna force u to complete the two year contact instead letting u upgrade on contract a few months earlier.
