Verizon Backtracks On $2 Convenience Fee

Posted by Soulskill on from the people-have-spoken dept.

Velcroman1 writes with a followup to yesterday's news that Verizon would be implementing a $2 'convenience fee' for certain online and phone-based bill payments. In addition to dealing with outrage from customers, Verizon also felt resistance from the Federal Communications Commission, who decided they would investigate the matter. Today, in a brief press release, Verizon announced that they've canceled their plans for the new fee in response to customer feedback.

    Yeah, which gives them plenty of opportunities to gouge you with either erroneous fees or overages that they hope you will not notice. That was the real motivation.
