So I am about to be 14 days in my Verizon contract and they are charging me these hidden fees called Verizon fees and its like $13 a line so in total my bill come to like 180 something with my 19% discount without it was supposed to be 220
But when I did the quote online it was 137 without taxes and my discount included
180 without taxes and no discount
So do the math and this is not including the activation.
End of rant
Anyone else get these fees because T-Mobile and att don't do these fees

I do believe when they quote online it doesn't include taxes etc.
the best thing to do is call 611, and ask what are these fees on my bill.

Agreed, I've only ever run into issues when changing plans and then they prorate the service. Haven't had that issue in years though I'm sure it's still a problem.
I did mine online and it said 73.00 without taxes and my discount. Than i called and they said 90.00 without discount. Is this right?

I just checked my first bill and besides hitting me with all possible kinds of fees (chicago 911 fee wtf?) my monthly access charges are almost $20 more than what verizon web site shows when shopping for a new plan!
I'm having 2 browsers open side by side as we speak and my bill shows $239.94 monthly access charge while verizon store shows 223.95!
for this very reason I switched from sprint years ago! I'll call customer service and try to work something out, but if they think we're all saps they're sooo wrong! I'll be back with T-mobile in no time and I'll make sure all of my friends know who's the best wireless provider! I've never had issues like this with T-mobile!
I was expecting my cell phone bill to go up a bit but this is going to almost double it!!!

Your first bill is always WAY higher than it will normally be. Not only do you have those government taxes that EVERY cell network has to charge in your area, but you have your 35.00 activation fees, as well as most peoples first bill has a full month and a partial month of access fess. Then you have your taxes on top of that which are also higher than normal since they are the taxes on the entire bill. If you went to a store you should have gotten a first bill estimation page with all your paper work. I know the in store reps are required to print one and go over it with every customer so they know what to expect on the first bill and dont act exactly like this.

Right now I am with Verizon, but out of contract. I completed my 2 years, so now just pay every month.
Am I right in thinking that if I buy the TB, I will get the unlimited 4G. When Verizon switches to limited 4G, I will be grandfathered in to unlimited 4G ?
I was thinking about this too.. I think you are, but you can't upgrade your phones, you have to buy retail/off contact? could be wrong though, probably am.

You will have unlimited at least through the term of your contract. There's always the possibility that, when they launch tiered plans, they will require it when you activate a new phone (similar to what they did for feature phones) or remove it as an option when you do your next contract.

Aside from the grandfathering issue, if you're contract is up, then you should try to haggle for a discount. My contract ended late last year, then took a pass on the lame 3G iPhone.
When the TB came around, I called up Verizon and told them I didn't think I was getting a good value for my contract. I had on a 1400 family plan with F&F, and our usage was only 300 min/mo or so. I told them I had started shopping other carriers and asked them what they could do for me.
They dropped me to the 700 min/mo plan, and added mobile-to-mobile at $15 less per mo. I then got a loyal customer award, one free month of service if I renewed my contract. This didn't affect phone upgrades. I also had a $50 discount for a new phone coming which was their usual bait for upgrading.
So after all that, I upgraded to the TB at considerable savings. Def worth a shot.

They don't throttle if you are on an unlimited plan unless you are in the top 5%. I had a customer last month who used 28GB in one month streaming netflix all day every day. Needless to say he was being throttled. They actually put a code on your account if you are being throttled that any rep can see and they send you an automated text message. So it is not a surprise, so unless you got this text then you are experiencing slower speeds for some other reason.

I've downloaded 8gigs in a month before without being throttled.
If you're leaving AT&T, you have these options:
Verizon. Basically the same as AT&T except a few dollars more. No unlimited data. They throttle.
T-Mobile. Crappy coverage. Less expensive. Throttles you after 2 gigs.
Sprint. Crappy coverage. Unlimited data with no throttling, but it's only a matter of time until their customer base grows and their network has to stop unlimited and start throttling. You'll be in the same position eventually with crappier coverage.
Random bad credit carrier: Good luck with that.

If it really bothers you, then switch to the 3gb data plan.
If it bothers you even more, file an official FCC complaint. Many people already have.
We throttle the top 5%. The top 5% varies per market. I regularly pass 10gb and I have had no message on my personal account.
And think about what your other options are.
-2gb on T-Mobile
-Limited LTE data on Verizon, same as us. (they throttle too)
-Sprint - sure you get unlimited. but they have the slowest data out of all the carriers
So we have to bend over and take it? That's what we are doing now.

So your saying anybody that uses more then 2-3 gbs is in the "top 5%"? I just got the text that I'm approaching the top 5% and I'm just over 3gbs. I agree with the OP it's a load of BS if I sign up for something that's labeled unlimited it should be unlimited. I think its BS that they throttle it so low most apps like YouTube wont even work right. And for the government stepping in that'll take some REAL change in government, there is to much money changing hands in politics for real change to happen and get rid of the corporate government take over. I can't believe for one second that only 5% of at&t customers use less then 2gbs a month. If they started throttling at like 10 or so i would have no problem but after 2-3 they want us to get rid of our unlimited and go to a tiered plan so they can charge a crap ton of money and line their pockets just like the rest of the corporate greed out there!!!

The amount at which you get throttled varies per market.
And I disagree with it too. It sucks.
The fact that you say that it varies from market to market sounds like its very ripe for abuse on their part. I can't see how it could be justifiable to throttle me at a little over 3gb when you are using over 10 a month. Sounds like you know an end around the very system you work for. It all boils down to corporate greed and the fact that we in the USA have let companies like this get away with so much for so long that its just 2nd nature and everybody wants to say its the consumers fault.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I had a text 1 day before my cycle ended saying I am approaching the top 5%
Now you ask how much data I had used do you.... 1.5 gb
Now that is complete horse sh*t
Guys verizon does not currently throttle LTE customers, they do throttle 3g.
as for the APN tricks...we are noticing on the Skyrocket forum that for many it is not working any more.
The best you can do is continue to call in and have the specific throttle call response center note your account of any issues you are experiencing while throttled (i.e. I was throttled for 8 days during my last billing cycle and no web pages would load, text messaging stopped working, the market gave no connection errors, mms was not working at all) so that they know this is doing more harm than simply limiting speeds.
That and file a SPECIFIC FCC complaint. So far FCC complaints have done nothing but initiate a contact from ATT that this is the new policy.
The major problem is that as the throttle policy continues, the top 5% will drop as people use less data. This and the fact that the call center uses the consumer calling in to complain as an opportunity to have them switch to a tiered plan, on which they will not be throttled.
The given response is intended by ATT to be
1. The throttle policy is intended to be a temporary solution to the evergrowing need for growing spectrum and the currently congested network.
2. For immediate relief one can use wifi when available and one does have the option of changing to a tiered plan, which is not throttled.
Is it BS, yes, but it is what it is.
I did the math and we are better off staying with ATT right this moment.
Our six lines of service would cost much much more on any other carrier. In my case I could actually switch to the 5 gb plan and use 3gb over and still pay less than at the competing carriers.
How is the amount in the top 5% determened? I got my line way back in the day when smartphones were taboo and not "trendey" and it was known as cingular. I didnt half to pull matrix hack to get teathering. The software was on the disk and the instructions were on the owners manual. Why are long time customers have to be restricted now? I got my unlimited plan because I want and can make use my data. I got trottled only after two to three day in the billing cycle. I stream spurs basketball on nba league pass moble which would jusiffy getting such a plan. Why do I need to pay for wifi when I already paying for the use of unlimited data? Wifi is for the customers that need to ration thier limited data.
My brothers what can we do seriously to damage At&t for BS ing us. Tomorrow the can say anyone using 100 MB is top 5%.

I'm really considering switching to Tmobile with all the crap Verizon is pulling. Tmobile offering to pay ETF's. My question is and I'm not sure many devs will come across this but who's all down to switch and say the hell with you Big Red.
With this new talk of Verizon wanting to control Internet traffic. Enough is enough.
So who's all down to teach Verizon to treat their paying customers better?
Also having the unlocked bootloader on Tmo is a plus.
So they pay ETF'S, unlocked bootloaders, and no annual contracts.
I'd love for everyone to go to Tmo the same day and pickup a Note3 unlocked.

Why would you ever do the tmobiles switching program? You have to turn in your phone also making you pay for another note 3, they profit by selling your phone by having money left over after paying the etf. I'm planning on switching by selling my phone for 600+$ paying the etf and I will have over 300$ to pay for another note 3. Verizon can suck my dong, I'm done.

Shoot I accidently liked your post, I don't want to confuse anyone. But how it goes is they will pay your etf if you trade them qualifying phone. That leaves you phoneless with no cash to buy a new phone on tmobile. So to calculate your etf fee is $350 originally - $10 for every month completed of your contract. So mine would be 320$ I think. So if I sell my phone on swappa for 650$ and me pay my etf, I'll have 330$ left for a new phone!! You get it?

I gave T-Mobile a go with the $30 plan last month. Service is definitely a keeper in urban areas, but not so rosy elsewhere. I suggest giving the Walmart $30 a go on your Note 3s before dumping your Verizon contract, as unlike AT&T, they aren't buying us back.
I frequent Philly, I95 south of there to NC, and I40 west to AK. Every urban area on that route had superb T-Mobile voice/data performance. However, once you are 5 miles out of the urban areas, you're on Edge. I had never experienced Edge while on a highway before, so I set my assumptions based on the .12mbps speed tests, as in it would be fine for simple web browsing/maps. Unfortunately, it is not very usable on the highway. Edge cannot load even simple web pages quickly, and I find it times out quite often when the phone jumps to a new tower. Don't even think about Google Maps or Pandora. The only other issue is handoffs to AT&T roaming towers, very common in western NC and eastern TN. The handoffs are quite crude, dropping calls and ending your data session.
Verizon is the exact opposite, useless in the cities on that route, but incredible everywhere else. I can maintain LTE the entire 20 hour drive. I dropped the T-Mobile plan, as I am keeping my Verizon UL and the Sprint Student Promo with Nexus 5. However, when I can afford plane tickets between only urban areas and/or Verizon takes away my UL data, I'll dump them for T-Mobile.
All these comments are good information for ultimately making a decision. Thanks guys

I'm not talking smack on T Mo at all. Their business plan and service rates are fair and unlocked phones are nice. It's just the service you DONT get if you're a heavy traveler. I use T Mo at home in my sim # 3 spot because I do get good data at the house. When I'm in South Texas oil fields I use my # 2 sim AT&T. If I'm in west Texas oil field I use Big RED. The 3 sim setup is nice and I always have service...... my bill is around $200 a month but it's a write off anyway.
I thought long and hard about the switch because I too am sick of Verizon's BS. But after it's all said and done I'd only be saving $10 maybe $20 a month. I get a discount on my Verizon bill through work that T-Mobile doesn't offer, otherwise the savings would be greater. When it's all said and done I'd rather put up with the BS and pay the extra money for the coverage.

If verizon cancels my unlimited it will void my contract and I will take my 3 lines and 140 dollar a month of business somewhere else.
The ONLY reason Verizon still has my business is for the unlimited plan. Loosing that, looses a customer. Their comstant locking down phones is frusterating.
I'm not on anyone's side just so you know unlimited plans make up less then 5% of their business and no one has LTE or even basic coverage like Verizon.

In my area of travel, ATT actually has the best coverage & LTE speeds. I am a Verizon customer & my signal is poor compared to my wife's on ATT.
If I loose my unlimited, I am gone to ATT. I can get better deal on 10gb plan.
That's great for you but for many it's not like that.

I get 15 gigs of data for 100$ I also got Verizon to give me 1 gig of data as a promo.
Iv only been with Verizon for about 2yrs.
I work from the Artic Ocean/North Slope of Alaska to South TX. Hands down Verizon rules where I'm at as stated 4G and basic. I had 10 go plan but jumped last month for 30 bucks more to the 30gb plan. For 130 I get 32gb (I also have an additional 2gb of promo) it's not unlimited but for current pricing and comparison to other companies it's the only way to go for me. I think it's like 225 or something crazy now if you want 30gb.
If you are on an unlimited plan and you use more than 30GB...my guess is that Verizon wouldn't mind you leaving their network! Some of you make it seem like Verizon needs your business. lol
Thank you for letting us know about this option. How does one go about getting it? I previously had Unlimited Data. I didn't want to pay the outrageous price at the time for a Note 3 outright from Ebay, Swappa, etc. So I dropped my Unlimited to 6GB. Not that I fully use 6GB anymore. Dropped Spotify once I dropped Unlimited Data. The 10GB would be a nice option.

Here is what I found out about this upgrade.
Me:Was there any truth behind the 10gb of data is the same cost as 6gb?
VZW: That is correct with our More Everything plans, that share within Unlimited talking and texting with a shared amount of data.

Yeah. my plan is 3g shared with 3 phones. We bend over for the man a lot with the bill... but I got tired of hopping around carriers. Besides the painful cavity search with my money, I'll stick with Verizon til AT&T owns them... like everything else.

Since I'm on month-to-month, if my unlimited disappears, I'll just throw a T-Mobile SIM into my phone and get my unlimited back.
Enjoy T-Mobile inferior lte

Att can never own Verizon, a Verizon is 10x the size of att, they generate more revenue and fcc and ftc would never allow the merger it would create a monopoly also I represent att if anything they going under before Verizon

I see you got digs for all the other carriers. Problem is, people aren't going to continue to get raped with these prices. So, Verizon will keep losing customers until they get better prices and plans.
So, when I lose my unlimited I can either:
- Pay $80/mo. for 1 GB of data on Verizon
or
- Pay $80/mo. for UNLIMITED data on T-Mobile.
That's a no-brainer. I've been a loyal customer of Verizon for years and years. But when my unlimited comes to an end, so will my loyalty because these new plans and pricing are just flat-out garbage.
I'm not going to stay on the same carrier to pay alot more and get alot less. Never going to happen.
Im just letting everyone know in case anyone had any doubts it does work perfect just like it would on T-Mobile obviously because is the same network

I have 3 lines on my account on AT&T. I went up to Metro PCS to see how much money I could save and they quoted me the exact same price as I'm paying now with AT&T. The only difference is Metro offered me less data. I was like nahhh I'm good. Thanks anyway.

I looked it up online and it looked like a good deal. One ad said $30 dollars another one said $50 with expanded data. I walked into their store and told the guy I'm coming from AT&T and wanted to save money. He said if I brought all my 3 lines to Metro and got the 4 GB LTE data plan I'd be paying $135 a month for their family plan. I said I'm getting 10 GB of data from AT&T with 2 smartphones and a Gear S for $135 after taxes. He didn't have anything to say to that so I thanked him and walked out.

I'm so tired of the T-Mobile fan club.
They've renamed "throttling" to "de-prioritizing" but are now applying the same speed caps as everyone else to some percentage of their biggest data users. At 133GB I'd say your days are numbered.

You always have to look at the fine print $30 promotional plan is only unlimited talk unlimited text unlimited web but one gigabyte of 4G the other one had $50 unlimited talk text and web and unlimited 4G LTE but with a promotion and it ended a couple of weeks back I work for the company and I know a hundred percent they will not throttle people on the $60 plan I have a non dealer line I have regular customer line

I agree with you. There's no doubt T-Mobile speeds can be fast. I know a guy who gets 64 mbps down on his T-Mobile One Plus One running Cyanogen. I must be getting a good deal with AT&T tho because nobody has enabled me to save money by switching yet. I could always go to Sprint and get my bill cut in half, but then I'd have to turn in all my phones and switch to CDMA which I don't want to do.

They give me 10 GB of rollover data with unlimited talk and text on 3 lines. All lines share the same data. I just checked and they don't offer the 10 GB plan anymore.
Being on any MVNO sucks if you roam internationally. They all also get de-prioritized over native traffic when the network is congested and in some cities (NYC, SFO) that's quite a bit of the time. Being on T-mobile or any of their MVNO's sucks because they have a lot of high frequency spectrum which makes indoor reception sketchy. T-mobile is a multi-billion dollar public company who's mission is to generate above industry financial returns to their shareholders. They aren't benevolent. So far they've proven they can move market share (they're still #4 BTW) by giving up profit/margin. The jury's still out until the latter starts to increase.
I am thankful to them though. I pay AT&T $70ish a month for three devices and 7GB of data and that includes the $10 a month for the Gear S I just bought from them for $149.
No wireless carrier is anyone's "friend." It's choosing between the best of a bad lot. Talking about pricing, service, and support on XDA is educational. Trying to pimp others toward a specific carrier not so much. Everyone here values different things.

Thanks for confirming this for me as I have metroPCS Unlimited no throttle plan, too bad we can't get this turned on a tablet plan. LoL
I just won this watch for 145 USD I guess now it's time to sell my Original Galaxy Gear rooted with custom TWRP recovery and Null_ 23 rom. LoL!! The curves will go nicely with my Note Edge. haha
Stupid Queston About The Gear S Activation & MetroPCS
@jcar6245 When I get it do I need to activate it to my phone and then take it into metroPCS for activation? I got a Note Edge, but I didn't know if I need to get service turned on imei activation first and then sync it to my phone or vice versa. LoL
That process got the best of my dyslexia, I guess it doesn't really matter which way ya do it right?
Damn I'm on metro pcs with four phones and two have hotspot for just 105.00 I was curious how much it would be to add a smart watch
