Does anybody know the answer to this?
inders99,
Sorry to say but the answer in no. If you are on a data share plan (i.e. Unlimited talk/text and X GB of data)
If you are not on an Edge plan the "line fee" is $40.
This sucks because AT&T does not do this. They give you the $15 "line fee" if you pay off device, BYOD, or do a Next plan and have 10+ GB.
Verizon "line fee" goes like this:
Contract: $40 line fee ( pay subsidized price, and $40 "upgrade" fee)
EDGE: 8GB or less: Line fee is $25 ( a $15 price cut )
Edge: 10GB or Higher: $15 Line fee ( Price cut of $25)
BYOD (bring your own device) Line fee: $40 ( you lose the discount )
The only way to make a line fee cheaper is to BYOD - Dumb phone - and the line fee is $20.
Hope this helps.
