Hey guys I was wondering if someone may be able to help me out with Verizon's reasoning here. I recently set up 2 smartphones with Verizon's pre-paid month by month plan.
I set up auto pay for both phones and I was informed by the Verizon representative I would be charged $5.45 for each phone each and every time they took money from my account. Obviously I thought this was outrageous so I asked him what the possible reason could be behind such a rediculous fee.
The big red rep informed me that it was the "state of Indiana" charging me this fee And NOT Verizon. Upon further inquiry all I was told is that if I lived in the state of Colorado or something I would not be charged the fee.
I have attempted to google this new "tax" or whatever it could be in the state of Indiana and I come up with nothing. Maybe someone with the same experience could help me out??
I think $5 every month for each phone just to give my money to a company is beyond excessive. If I had phones that worked on a different carrier I would immidiately leave Verizon for this reason alone. Not only doesVerizon have excessive data charges but on top of that all I have to throw away an extra $10 every month. Absolutely rediculous!
