Verizon lowers its fee to $20 for online activations

17 April 2019
If you decide to do it in store, you'll be charged more.

Sort by:

This is absurd, never heard such nonsense on other networks outside USA

    ATT didn't charge for my activations even though I didn't buy the phone from them

      broekhuijsen, 17 Apr 2019You have to pay to activate your phone? What ridiculous sys... moreTo be fair, there were times (at least in some European countries as far as I remember) when we had to pay such ridiculous fees, too. And it's not that long ago, e.g. just some 10-15 years in Central Europe? Also, even some European carriers still lock the phones they sell to their network and want you to pay for unlocking, a practice I thought is older than medieval :P And I also have vivid memories of abominations like incoming payment (non-international) fee on my bank account. So instead of schadenfreude, we should feel compassion ;)

        This is not good for someone like me. I am a Verizon representative, and we representatives who sell make about 75-90% of our income through commission.

          You have to pay to activate your phone? What ridiculous system is this? I think Europe is not so bad after all :D

            that's just ridiculous I work in a phone shop and I wouldn't feel right asking people for some stupid fee like this I give the best service I can and I bet you they aren't even close to what my team does for customers. GREED
