I know the amount we pay in taxes is unreal. I bundle my cell phone and with Verizon and pay roughly $40 in taxes alone for all four services. Phone, cell, and Internet. Makes me sick :(

So even the "free phones" with a 2 year contract are $30? Dang, hope that doesn't catch on to other wireless retailers :/

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.

Wait what? Since when did this happen?

It's been like that for quite awhile. Sometimes if you sweet-talk the rep they will wave the fee.

Hahaha, good to know.
I guess it's been nearly 3 years since I've upgraded so I must've missed out on some updates during that time x_x
I'll definitely try to sweet-talk the rep I speak to ;)

Its time to switch to a no-contract everything plan and dump these money hungry cell phone companies!!!

$30 is a lot of money to charge to upgrade. I doubt Verizon is hurting financially as a company so I feel adding this fee at this time is just plain greedy. :(
