Verizon users: Expect your bill to increase in June

Earlier this month, AT&T announced that they will be raising the prices on some of its plans. Verizon made headlines this week with a similar announcement. 

As revealed by Verizon, they will be increasing their administrative fee on postpaid customers. Starting June, you can expect to see an administrative fee charge of $3.30 per voice line on your bill. This is an increase of $1.35. 

Verizon says that this increase will only affect voice lines. This means that if you have a data-only plan on Big Red, you won’t be affected by this price increase. 

Here is Verizon’s statement behind the price increase:

“From time to time, we review and make adjustments to fees to defray some of Verizon’s administrative and telco expenses and costs of complying with regulatory requirements. To that end, Verizon Consumer will implement a change beginning in June.”

Also, there will be an additional $2.20 charge per line per month on select business accounts. Verizon explains that this is an “Economic Adjustment Charge.” It will also start being implemented in June.
