Verizon - $2 to pay your bill

http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/28/2667541/verizon-2-00-convenience-fee-for-bill
So happy I moved away from this crap company.

LOL why am I not surprised...
VZ would suck your blood and sell it to a blood bank if they were allowed to.

Its only $2...

Can I have $2 dollars?

so just to be clear, if we go into the store and use one of those payment kiosks we wont get the $2 charge right?
and to think you guys we're trying to make me feel bad about using 50gb/month.

A convenience fee is actually pretty common when paying bills online or over the phone, in my experience they've been closer to four dollars. That doesn't make it right by any stretch of the imagination though, frankly I'm surprised it has taken them this long.
Also misleading title is misleading as the linked article says they might enact a convenience fee.

Good. These ppl should be charged $2.
Any one else can continue with free options like autopay or pay by check.

Makes no sense why that's good. They're just asking to be occupied. Well, within the rules of course, to pay their bills in store. Occupy nonetheless.

Guys. No one cares because all of you are going to continue to pay your bills every month, whether you use one of the new options to not be incurred with the charge or you just eat the charge.

Auto bill pay for me since they started it. I never had a problem. Never understood why more people don't use that option.

I will NEVER give Verizon a penny. They are greedy, cocky, and annoying.

It's common practice in the UK for companies to charge up to £5 for customers who choose not to set up a direct debit to pay their bill. I guess it's catching on in other parts of the world too

^ WHS ^
Practically 90% of My bills, Inc Insurance, BT, Sky Ect. all charge a fee if you choose not to pay Direct Debit.
TBH I pay the fee because living in the UK, They will take as much as they see fit at random intervals as most Companies are either usless/thieving

Yup same. Many places charge a convenience fee if you don't auto pay or use an e-check. Colleges even do it but its a percentage...which blows. 3% sounds fine until you remember you're paying $4k a semester...$120 extra is not a small fee just because you don't autopay.

Walmart deal coming up.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the rep told me Walmart is cooking up a big promotion for the S3. I called to upgrade one of my lines and asked him if they can match or beat the WireflyFriends price and he said unfortunately no but Walmart is getting ready for a big S3 promotion. Fingers crossed that it beats the WireFly sale price.

I already got $50 back from CarToys because of Walmart's S3 price. I'm hoping they drop it farther so I can get more, but I'm not sure how much time I have left from CarToys to do that.

dont know about wirefly but I bought mine from Costco for 179.99$

I don't know what the other sales are. But tmobile can beat em. Especially if your contract is about up.
Got mine for $79.99!
Ask for retentions, or at least customer loyalty. But retentions can do even better. Google tmobile retentions deals galaxy s3 for more info.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Did you just tell the automated machine retention? I didn't know that I'll give it a try.

I did try that but still got customer loyalty. I loyaly offered me $279 for phone, $150 credit bringing it to $129. Also got. $20 5gb data plan and a $10 per month bill credit every month for 24 months. I told her I wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet and would call back. Asked her if she made notes on my acct for all she offered which she did.
Called back next day and this time made sure I got on with a retention specialist. They saw notes on my account so honored all the offers. I said I didn't think I could accept because it still meant I had to initially pay $279 which I couldn't afford to do. He did some looking at something and said he could bring it down to $229. I asked if I would still get the $150 credit which I did. I told him I still didn't have that much to spend initially and he said he could apply the cost to my next bill, so after credit I would only have to pay the $79 on my next bill!
Oh and I also got free overnight shipping!!!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Wow, that's amazing. Been with them for almost ten years with multiple lines, hopefuy that helps me out. Thanx for the info, I will be glad paying 150. Guess I will give this tomorrow a try.

Good luck! Its definately worth trying.
I've been with them since the Voicestream days, over 10 or 11 years ago. That definately helps, especially if they think you are gona cancel.
The other thing is my contract had already expired which gives max leverage.

try force roaming and tethering that much.

Why don't you pay what you owe?

Hopefully they do.

You know abusing the network to get out of your contract is not ethical, right? You're also making the network slower for others, aswel.

Lamest thread ever.
Pay your ETF or pay your bill. Quit being a shyster (which has become a common word in my lexicon after reading some posts on xda lately).

What do you mean discount? I think you can even grab an employee discount for your service. Also - try to get an Airave from retentions, it'll help the service at home.

Who lied? Have you gone back and disputed this? If it was done at the store Customer service can't do much as there's no proof to what you're claiming is true so the best option is to go back to store and vice versa. Airave does help if you qualify for one. Check www.sprint.com/airavecoverage. For your discount you have to apply through www.sprint.com/verify but nothing anyone can do in regards to the % the company you're claiming offers.

Discount for ups. Store said I would get it then they said no because I'm on the second line. And wouldn't let me return the phones. It was at best buy. Supposed to get 22% off. Called sprint and they said it on best buy side. Went to best buy and they saying nothing they can do. So stuck.
I had a regular landline at home. And had boost. Got rid of it because i got sprint.

I know that some banks and sharp hospital gets high discounts. I used one of sharp. I believe the highest you can go now is 18% I think. They may have dropped the discount a little. I have a cousin who works at sprint and thats what he told me. I could be wrong and hope you get the highest discount possible.

Nope the credit union is only 10% now and they are verifying everything. I had to send in a copy of my employee badge to get my discount.

Thanks for your reply, what did you do for your sharp discount? or do you actully work there?

I was getting 25% with the credit union until I upgraded to the S3 lol. I was actually a member though, then they changed it to the employees get 25% and members get 10% so I just went with my job to get my discount now.

I think I have 20% still, but sprint tried to bump it down to 18% when I got my s3, they were trying to be sly and I called them on it. Still have my 20% discount as a state employee.

There is no human that applies those discounts any longer. Its all systematic and must be verified online. Credit union, AAA and AOL are the most common ones.

I never got any notices, they just turned off my discount. I had to call them to find out why. They didn't have verification of my employer so I had to do their verification process. Fortunately, they have my employers email domain on their list so I only needed to enter my work email and it was approved immediately.
The csr told me they recently did an audit of all their discounts. Anyone who hadn't verified in the last 22 months, or had no verification at all, was supposed to be notified and the discount was removed if you didn't fix it.

Discounts range from 10-28 % for a consumers account
The.discount system now automatically removes discounts
After 24 months or upgrade whatever is first. Easy verify program
Just go in to a store and ask for the form and some help filling out.
Discounts only apply to plans over 39.99 and only discount
A.plans base price (family plan $149.99 gets a discount off
Line 1 (110$) or individual plans 69.99.. Insurance and data
Fees don't get discounted and taxes don't get discounts.
Need a photo I'd from employer or a pay stub
Must be account holder that's getting discount
Credit union me members get 10% and waived activation
And upgrade fees..and promotional they currently get 100$
To port in a number..
People who have biz accounts get their employees 10% it higher
Sprint reps get around 50% but loose the ability to upgrade
While on this employee plan type..
Hope this helps..pm me and I can get you a link for paperwork
And.or find you your personal discount code.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Free mobile app

Depending on the discount they are going away.

I lost my corporate discount because I didn't want to bother filling the application to reapply again, (actually I thought that discount was going away but it wasn't?) still less expensive than other carriers, I have a great service at home and work and almost half of my bill is for phones anyway.
So if it is corporate discount you're talking about, maybe they changed the rate, otherwise I have no idea.

Yes it was a corporate discount that has continued from a previous employer.
But for some reason it got lowered to 8%.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Most likely the agreement with your corporation and t mobile changed. You are actually lucky as apparently most corporation discounts have expired or gone away totally. I know the one I could have had is now gone, which is part of the reason I am still with ATT, but I will switch soon likely to t mobile anyways as I use all their phones with unlocked bootloaders. I just hope that continues....

:Your welcome. That's what this forum is about. Pass it on forward.

I'll have to see which is better that discount or the discount I get because of the company I work for.....but I think this one is going to be better.

I'm lucky to still have my 15% got discount with t-mobile.

Yup, nearly swallowed my tongue when I heard they were thinking of dumping corporate discounts!

So glad they decided to keep them.

Now lowered to zero percent. Yay.
They sent me a card to verify my employment status for my corp discount. Course I couldn't verify it. LOL.
