Verizon won’t stop charging $3.30 “Telco Recovery” fee, may raise it again

Users will get up to $100 each in refunds, but Verizon fee isn't going away.

Good I hate them. I haven't received the postcard I'm supposed to get for the settlement. I've used them since 2004. They used to be good, with excellent customer service. Now they just blow

@arstechnica@mastodon.social in California they're going to have to put the fees into the advertised price thanks to SB 478 right?

@arstechnica@mastodon.social "Verizon tells customers that it covers regulatory obligations, taxes, and various expenses that are just part of the cost of doing business for an operator of a nationwide cellular network."

That's what their rate fees are supposed to cover. :(
