Beginning last Monday, Verizon customers charged an extra $20 fee for upgrading
As of Monday the 4th of April, Verizon customers looking to upgrade will have to pay a new $20 upgrade fee.
Boooo-urns!
The $20 flat rate charge will be applied to all smartphones purchased on a Device Payment financing plan, at full retail price, or Apple’s new iPhone Upgrade Program.
This leaves T-Mobile, (the ‘uncarrier’) as the only carrier that doesn’t charge an upgrade fee, with AT&T charging $15 per smartphone added or upgraded with AT&T Next, and Sprint charging an upgrade or activation fee up to $36 per device.
Sorry, Verizoners.
