If I understand correctly, payments through a bank will not be affected by this thievery. Makes sense. You don't want to mix up the bank's money-taking schemes with Verizon's. :haha:

AT&T and Verizon's new slogan: "less for more $". Makes complete sense.:crazy:

"convenience fee".....pssht, it has nothing on the $10 "Premium data fee" that Sprint tacks on top of the data plan, just because you have a smartphone. Oh, and that's per month too.

This is probably to pass all or part of the credit card processing charges to the customer. Pretty standard fare with utilities. Comcast still covers that charge but then they recoup it by upping their service rates every year or two.

They changed their mind apparently.
