Verizon to charge $2 fee for paying your bill online or by phone

We don't need MORE government. We need LESS. Vote with your FEET and go to another company if you don't like it.
 
It seems the fee is primarily aimed at people who would be paying with a credit card. Visa, Master Card and American Express all charge between 1.35% and 3% for each transaction. Maybe $2 is the average cost they are paying to the credit card companies.

As a small business who offers credit card payments to customers it has been noticeable over the last few years as the majority of customers move from writing checks to paying by credit card. Basically we pay an extra $70 a month to the credit card companies while still charging our customers the same as we did two years ago.
 
The comment regarding the credit card fees makes the most sense. In the past, I would essentially _receive_ $2/month for paying my $200+ bill with a credit card that paid me 1% cash rebate. Now I'll just use my bank's online bill payment. No rebate, but no fee either.
 
It looks like Verizion is backing down from their stance, since many of their customers complained.
 
Get enraged with Verizon and don't forget what they tried to pull on you.
 
You have no idea what you are talking about.. Alot of verizon users, yes do use the online service, but alot of them DO use envelopes, so why would you even say that?
