Starting on Sunday, Verizon Wireless customers who activate either a new line or tablet connection will need to pay a one-time $20 activation fee, spokeswoman Kelly Crummey has confirmed to Fortune. Those customers will be charged if they pay for a device through Verizon’s payment-installment program, as well as activate a device they already own or pay for a device in full. The activation charge applies to new Verizon customers, or existing ones adding a new line of service to their account. But existing customers will not be charged if they use the installment plans to simply upgrade the handset on their existing line. “It covers the cost of turning on a new line of service, things that have to happen to activate a new phone number,” Crummey says. She confirmed that the charge also applies to tablets. Verizon, the largest U.S. Carrier, offers two plans to so-called “postpaid” customers, or those who pay for ongoing service after it’s provided. On the smartphone side, customers can opt to buy the device outright with no contract, which on a base iPhone 6s model, can set them back $650. The other, most-popular option, Crummey says, is Verizon’s installment plan, which lets users pay for the cost of the device over a period of 24 months and put nothing down at the time of purchase. “Many customers prefer those plans to putting up all of the money upfront,” she says. Verizon doesn’t offer two-year contract plans on smartphones to new customers, but lets existing two-year-contract subscribers stay on the plans, if they wish. ![]() ![]() ![]()
