said by amenite:Just "upgraded" to a new non-smart phone and paid the $30 upgrade tax imposed by VZW as of last April. Not justified IMO especially given my situation (infrequent equipment changes, simple devices, etc.).
So in respect to the competition, VZW has definitely caught up to theirs in the nickel & dime you area. They better tout the network, because IMO that's all they have left.
Well if you had been an At&T or Sprint customer you would have been charged $36 not $30. Also you are saying this new phone isn't worth $30? Which phone is it? I can 100% guarantee it's worth more than $30.
