Changes to fees are coming

Upgrade and activation fees are going to $40. If you do it online it’s going to be $20. This will push what little traffic there is out of the stores. Say goodbye to discounts in store for consumers with ECPD as well.

Verizon 2.0 is basically converting everything that is corporate to either indirect or outsourcing. Why do you think they are making such a big deal about "we and me".
