Verizon Keeping Customers Connected and Waiving Late Fees Through June 30

by

Verizon today announced that it will not disconnect individual customers and small businesses unable to pay their bills through June 30.

Service will not be terminated, and no late fees will be collected, a policy that applies to postpaid wireless, residential, and small business customers that notify Verizon of an inability to pay their bills. Those who are experiencing financial trouble and need their fees waived will need to follow Verizon's instructions and fill out a form on the website to avoid fees.

Verizon has been waiving late fees and keeping customers connected since March after signing the FCC's "Keep Americans Connected" pledge.

Verizon has also provided customers with an extra 15GB of hotspot data for free in April and May. Verizon customers with consumer and small business shared data plans, hotspots, and jetpacks have automatically been provided with 15GB of data, which, for May, can be used from May 1 through May 31.

I've been a VZ customer for many years. While they've had their pros and cons, this is nice to see.


You have to notify the company in advance in order to not be charged late fees?
I don't see an issue with this. If you can't pay right away, I would think it would be only courteous. And it keeps all their customers from deferring a month or two, with no apparent explanation.

Another reason why I love Verizon, my cell phone provider. Sometimes its the little things, just being sensitive to customers situations can go a long way. While this may not apply to me, just knowing my cell provider is thinking about the others in need makes me smile.
This costs them nothing to do. Want to help customers? Give them a month for free.

Just bought my way out of Verizon and headed to Mint.

Doesn't sound like they're fixing their highway robbery prices, though.

Now is a good time to leave Verizon.

Of course, it's ALWAYS a good time to leave Verizon....
You pay for what you get. Depending upon where you live, Verizon may not be able to justify their higher rates. I live in the Rocky Mountains (Utah), and there are very few places I can find where I can get no data or signal. They are practically impossible to find (they exist, but are rare). Whereas, their competitors dropped signals in valleys, in buildings, even between my driveway and entering the house. I can travel pretty much nationwide, and never worry about being without a signal - and I will happily pay a little extra for that.
