VZW Decision on charging for online payments

[xxfallacyxx]

Apparently (not surprisingly) VZW has decided against charging users for making "one-time" payments online.

Quote from their facebook page:

We at Verizon take great care to listen to our customers. Based on your input, we will not institute the fee for online or telephone single payments. We thank you for providing your feedback and remaining the industry?s most loyal customers.

I'm guessing Dovahkiin made good on his word to let out a FUS and show them who is boss

Nice, I was a bit PO'd about this because that is how I make payments. Glad they reversed that decision.

Agreed. I would have just setup the automatic payments, but still this is nice because I can still determine how much to pay.

I am shocked that Verizon caved on this. Seriously. I did not expect that at all. The backlash must have been huge.

I would have paid by electronic check just out of principle.

Pressure works, no more fee.

I am glad they bounced that idea. I use online payments.

Hopefully, this will be the case again when they attempt to axe the grandfathered unlimited data plans next year. Based onf that internal memo that made the rounds on the web a couple months bwck, is factual,

It didn't affect me as I have auto pay, but I agree it chomped

It would seem they caved because the FCC was about to intercede on our behalf. It's dubious to think input from their customers had anything to do with the policy reversal.

It's nice to hear those blowhards were ready to use our tax sollara in a manner tthat benefits citizens. We often lose so it's nice to get a win.
