Line access fee

[SCHWANN521]

Anyone know if you purchase the Iphone 7 through Apple if verizon wireless charges you an additional $20.00 per month for the line activation fee? I currently pay the $20.00 per month and can't afford to purchase the phone and add the additional $20.00 per month to my bill.

SCHWANN521,

It is always a good to idea to get the facts before making a purchase. As long as the phone is not purchased on a 2 year contract, your line access fee would stay the same.

More Everything and Verizon plans have 3 main components. The first is how much high speed data you have, such as $50 for the 4 GB plan. The second component is the line access fee, this is $20 per month for a smartphone that is not under traditional contract. Finally there is a device payment which is the total cost of the phone divided by 24 equal payments. There is a one time $20 upgrade fee, but that is not monthly. Of course you must add taxes and fees to this to get a total.

Summary:

Buy a new $600 smartphone on payment plan

$20 one time upgrade fee

$50 per month for 4 GB plan

$20 per month for line access fee

$25 per month for device payment plan (for 24 months)

+ taxes and fees
