What extra charges does VZ throw on the bill?

[Grebnehtor]

Thinking of switching from Sprint for the LTE coverage, but I don't want to get raked over the coals. What extra charges does VZ put on the bills besides the data plan, smartphone access charge and taxes? Trying to see if they charge for VM or billing or anything else stupid like that.

Thanks.

I just have the regular taxes, government fees, and so forth. It is about $15 on my monthly bill for two smartphones and one dumb phone.

You won't be charge for Voicemail unless you sign up for Visual voicemail. Google Voice is free and superior to that though so no worries.

Otherwise just taxes and such. Nothing hidden.

All carriers have these charges. It depends on the state your in. In VT is about another $12 or so after taxes and state charges. This is for one line of service on ATT and Sprint was about the same. (911, state tax charges and so on...)

I agree with everyone else it's probably about 15 dollars per month. We have 1 smartphone and 1 dumb phone on our account.

If you add the insurance on our bill it's $6.99 per phone.

If I might add we tried sprint. My husband is an over the road truck earth and the coverage was horrendous. We had so many dropped calls and bad connections that we finally had to give it up. There's a reason verizon at least to my knowledge is a bit more pricey and that reason is they have the best coverage of all the cell phone providers. At&t it is supposed to be on par with sprint and t mobile and all the rest in that their coverage just doesn't cut it.

I must disagree. AT&T's coverage is far superior to T mo and Sprint.
