As for me, my Verizon bill is $55 a month before taxes after a 22% employer
discount, 450 minute (which I use about 20 of a month) and unlimited
data (grandfathered). No text plan since I use Google Voice which can
even forward MMS messages to email. I think that’s not all together a
bad value. It all depends on your circumstances and what type of service
you need.

Think I’ll do the same. Or since my contract is up, maybe I’ll see what the others are charging.

The answer is obvious … just as Netflix, VERIZON will loose, some if not all partekers, myself included.

Am i missing something here? Didn’t Verizon offer a monetary reward for switching to paperless billing and thus saving them the costs of printing and mailing the bills? If we all went back to paper bills, it would not cost Verizon as much as them stand to make off the new fee but it would send the message that we do not like being taken advantage of. Seems to me that Verizon is tryiong to force all of us to go to paperless billing and /or use their auto pay resulting in less operating costs for them and possible fewer employees on their payroll.

I just spoke to Verizon regarding this. According to the representative i spoke with, VZW has decided not to institute the fee.

That’s why banks are so lucrative – they just help themselves (charging fees) because they already have our money. Which tradesman would bother if I owed them one Dollar, yet the bank takes ten cents, if they think I owe it to them!

I don’t look at each statement but I get a payment confirmation in my email every time and it’s always the same amount so I only need to look at the statement if the amount is different, which it never is. I wouldn’t put it past them to try and pull that crap though.

Verizon should be ashamed of Its self! This a thinly veiled money grab.. if you insist on this policy I will bail out on Verizon as son as I can, because I know you will add more and more charges in the future! It is time Congress rein in the the communications indutry. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU!

Sounds like it’s VZN’s ploy to force everyone on auto pay.
Why don’t you just call it like it is.

Can you hear the people? You are cutting your own throat, Verizon. We cannot stand for such an antagonistic and unbusinesslike move on VZ’s part. A penalty for making payments! How bizarre!
