Verizon exposes the Un-carrier’s #TMyths
June 01 2022 - 07:30AM
Sometimes the truth hurts, big time. And Verizon will not sit on
the sidelines and watch as the Un-carrier continues to hoodwink
consumers by dazzling them with one catchy announcement after
another, only to Un-ravel and Un-do them just as soon as people
forget. So we’re doing a #CarrierClapback to expose these #TMyths
for just what they are.
Let’s review the timeline:Jan 5, 2017: Announces taxes
& fees now included in plans. Aug 6, 2018:
Launches Essentials plan. This is essentially a way to
bring back taxes and fees (that sure didn’t last long).Jan
22, 2022: More fees please. Fees raised on both consumer
voice and data lines (sure seems like a lot of fees for a carrier
that cut them out a few years ago).Mar 21, 2022: Connect
plan launches without taxes included. But wait, didn’t you
say just a few years ago you were doing away with taxes and fees?
What gives?!May 5, 2022: Price Lock. Touted as a
win for customers, it promises customers will never see their bills
increase. Sounds great if it wasn’t one of the ways they sweetened
the pot to get their merger complete. June 3, 2022:
Assisted support and upgrade support cost jumps to $35.
Ok, so your plan price may not change, but your admin fee has gone
up and it now costs $35 for support? Seems like just another name
for a fee.2nd Half 2022: what else will they
Un-do?With the nation’s most reliable 5G network, only
Verizon offers its customers both the best network experience and
value of any other carrier. When combined with home internet
service, its best 5G price plans provide up to $90/month in value
to customers. So do the math, and see what you can save by
switching to Verizon. You can learn more about the latest deals at
