Verizon Wireless to Charge Customers to Pay Their Bills

Every time you sign a new contract for that latest greatest phone you open yourself up to be treated the way they want to treat you.Keep letting these bums milk you people.... Go to a contract free phone and fire these losers...

Quote:

Verizon Wireless has just announced a plan that can't make its customers happy.
The nation’s largest wireless service provider will now charge its 100 million-plus customers a $2 “convenience fee” for all one-time bill payments made online or by telephone, starting Jan. 15.
“The fee will help allow us to continue to support these single bill payment options in these channels and is designed to address costs incurred by us for only those customers who choose to make single bill payments in alternate payment channels (online, mobile, telephone).”

Does it cost them $2 per customer, per month, to run the online/phone payment system for a month? If so, I can understand it, even if their plans are already a ripoff. If not, goodbye Verizon.

I had a 22% FEDEX discount with them and it was still stupid high...
Contracts need to go on phone service but that's how they prey on poor people and keep the money flowing.

Oh, they have 100 million + customers say half of them pay online = 100 million bucks + per month...

I had no idea processing my payment was so "inconvenient" for them.

So this fee doesn’t apply for mailing in payment?

Or is this just a ploy to force people to automate their payments, letting Verizon sneak in extra charges?

I can't recall and I'm too lazy to dig through a bunch of threads, but what do you do for a living R8ers? (I ask this because I don't know and am curious)

And Verizon doesn’t offer unlimited data, so they are charging your card $2 per MB if you go over. Good luck getting that back once its paid for.

Sprint, Verizon, AT&T... They're all a bunch of crooked asswipes. 70-120 bucks a month for a phone and plan that costs them around 10 bucks a month to operate. They're as crooked as big oil.

Solution for me is get a Nokia e71 from straight talk on craigslist activate it and then find an ATT android phone/unlock it and use the sim card...

Premium phone on straight talk for 45 bucks a month

Ever wonder why they push you to watch games on your phone?
Video uses huge chunks of data and it's all win for them.
