$9.99 line fee

What happened to the $9.99 line fees?  I need a new device, which if I understand it correctly, means I will lose my unlimited plan because it's not offered anymore.  So in checking out new plans, I find that the line fee's aren't $9.99 anymore.  So my husbands old flip phone is now gonna cost $30.00 a month?  That's ****!  And our home phone base is now gonna be $20.00 a month!  So the $29.97 a month I was paying for line fees is now going to be $90.  That is absolutely ridiculous!!!!  I guess I can't complain about my $147 cell phone bill anymore.  It includes my smartphone, hubbys flip phone, the house base, 700 minutes, unlimited text and data.  It doesn't look like I'm going to find anything even remotely close to that now.  Ugh!!!  Any suggestions out there?  I'm on a very tight budget and need to reduce my cell phone plan, not go up!

Firstly you only lose unlimited data if you take a subsidized upgrade. And you don't have to switch to the More Everything plan. Line fee is $40 for a smartphone
Exactly which plan do you have. You don't mention if you have texting or not. A smartphone, a flip phone 2 GB data unlimited minutes and texting is $120 a month.

  • I just signed up for Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service? I have decided to switch to another service provider. Are there any other cancellation fees on top of the $350 per line fee? Am I stuck with the phone?

    I just signed up with Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service. I know about the ETF fee of $350/ per line but are there any other fees I will need to pay for the actual phone.

    There are no other fees. You are not stuck with the phone, you can do whatever you would like to do with it.

  • Multiple line fee increased and data overages.

    What the heck?  My 2 add'l lines for BASIC phones went from $9.99 each/mo to $30 each/mo.  All the sudden my data usage is spiking and I have $75 in overage charges.  I can't afford this service.  Will have to move to another provider if this can't be rectified.  The guy at the store said pictures do not count against data.

    What do you mean "pictures do not count against data"?
    Taking pictures with your phone DO NOT count against your data allowance. If you take a picture AND then upload it off your phone to a service such as Facebook, Dropbox, etc..., sending it via the cellular network DOES count against data.
    If you send a text message with a picture in it on the Share Everything plan, it appears you are on this plan, THIS will not count against data. However, if your phone notifies you the picture you want to send is too large to send via MMS, would you like to resize it or send it via cellular data, resizing it and sending it via MMS will not count against data BUT sending it full size via cellular data WILL count.
    But the guy at the store who said "pictures do not count against data" IS correct. It is what you then do with those pictures which CAN count against data.

  • Line fee discount for off-contract phones

    I have three phones off-contract and just switched to the More Everything Plan with 10GB. According to http://www.verizonwireless.com/news/article/2014/04/more-everything-savings-coming.html my off-contract phones should have their line fees discounted by $25 to $15. So far they are still showing at $40. The phone support rep confirmed this info but indicated I would need to actually visit a VZW retail store so they could enter the special discount code. Surely this is not true? 
    Here's the relevant text from your press release:
    No contract. No problem. Verizon Wireless is giving customers the ability to add a smartphone that is not currently under contract to a MORE Everything plan, beginning April 17.   Starting this Thursday, existing customers who are on month-to-month contracts can move to a MORE Everything plan to experience savings immediately. Customers who choose plans with data allowances of 8 GB or below can add a smartphone for $30, a savings of $10, and customers who choose plans with data allowances of 10 GB and above can add a smartphone for $15, a savings of $25.

    From VZW via email --
    The promotion you requested for your wireless number has been completed and will be effective starting 05/13/2014. You'll start seeing your discount in your next 1-2 bills and it will continue until you upgrade or renew your service agreement.
    New Promotion Added:
    MORE EVERYTHING VALUE $25 OFF
    RushFan -- Maximum kudos to you. I got three emails like the above after following your advice. Thank you and stay thirsty, my friend. Aces.
    VZW staff -- I appreciate the replies here and I am pleased you guys are on the ball. However, comma, Why weren't these heavily advertised discounts just applied automatically? Why did Rushfan have to point me to something obscurely called "Change Features" to apply a discount I am owed? Please tell me that this would have kicked in automatically. Would it?
    Again, thanks to all who tried to help.

  • Verizon Edge, to good to be true, or an outright lie?

    I recently (May 15th, 2014) went into a GoVerizon store to upgrade two of our phones on our family plan.
    We have 5 lines connected and we have been on the 1400 family shared minutes with text $10 extra per phone.
    We were due for upgrades (actually some of us were due for an upgrade in 2011).
    So, as we were looking at our options, the representative (Alissa) explains the Edge plan to us.
    She explained that with the special offer, if we choose the 10gb plan we would get $25 off our line fee, AND $25 off our monthly phone payment.
    This was without a two year agreement.
    Well, this offer was too good to pass up! We would have 5 new iPhone 5S' with 10GB of data and only have to pay about $200 a month.
    How could we pass it up? We would only have to pay $15 per month for line fee's, and only $2.17 per month for phone cost fee.
    I asked Alissa if she was sure that we would get $25 off each of these things and Alissa said, "Yes!"
    As I thought about it overnight, I  just didn't believe it, how could they give credit on both the line fee and the phone fee? So I went in the next day to verify what I was told and spoke with the manager of the store (Elisabeth). She explained the plan to me again, and gave me the very same information.
    I questioned her over and over asking how Verizon could do this. She said, "I don't know, it's a great deal, I think that they would like everyone to be on this Edge plan."
    So, now we have 5 new iPhone 5S' and the 10GB Edge plan, no contract and we didn't need to use our upgrades.
    I've been with Verizon since I began using a cell phone. It's been like 16 years!
    Today (May 20th, 2014) I went in to the same store because my 23 year old daughter wanted on the plan too. She is currently with AT&T and bought a used iPhone 4S to avoid a 2 year agreement with them.
    Elisabeth was out for the week and a different employee was working, his name is Aaron. I told Aaron how excited I was at such a great deal. "How can Verizon do it, I mean $25 off our line and our device, Wow!" I said to Aaron.  "Um no, just your line, not your device too." What!?! Are you kidding me?" I was here twice last week, for hours verifying that this plan was indeed what Alissa and Elisabeth were telling me. What am I supposed to do!? We were pushing it to have the bill increase to $200, I can't pay $300!!" I said, now feeling a bit sick to my stomach.
    You see, I share a plan with my parents. They didn't want to upgrade to smartphones, I had to talk them into it. The way I did this is to tell them that they would each be getting a new device that I would help them learn how to use, and it would only cost about $65 more a month total for all of us; so each of us would be paying $40 per month.
    We really could barely squeeze the extra money out of our budget, but the deal was cheaper than just adding two smartphones, or so I thought....
    This happened in Lake Stevens, WA
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    If so, how did you handle it?
    I fear that now we will each be out $50 restocking fee since we will have to return the phones and cancel the plan.
    Is Verizon obligated to uphold the contract that their employees (even managers) mis represent?

    Verizon did the same exact thing to me and my wife as switched from AT&T. 2 separate phone reps from Verizon's sales number assured us the same thing. A third assured me over the phone after we got our phones and were setting them up.
    I was assured several times we would get $25 off our line fee and $25 off our device.
    3 months later when we get our second bill without all the confusing tax and start-up fee's sure enough, no $25 off our devices.
    I asked customer service to review the phone calls with reps and get back with me. The manager told me regardless of what I was told by them and what they listen to they will not give me the credit. So we shall see.
    I will wait until next and send a written claim and request for mediation before either filing a smalls claims action action or seeking counsel on a possible class action suit. I am sure there are many deep pocketed class action firms that would love to take Verizon through the ringer. We are not only talking the $25 a month until the phone is paid off, there is bad faith and punitive's plus if you were grandfathered into an indefinite unlimited data plan how much is worth?

  • Unclear about requirements/information for Edge vs Contract plans.

    I am currently on a 8GB/70 Shared data plan with a corporate discount.  I have 4 smart phones and 2 iPads.  My total bill is $241.60 + Taxes.  Our contract on all 4 phones is now up as of 2/1/15.  I have been asking questions about switching to the edge plan.  We plan on keeping the new phones for 2 years so all we care about is total cost.
    I have received completely different answers to my questions depending on who I talk to.  I think we'll save about $550 over 24 months on Edge if we switch to the 10GB/$80 plan.  Here are the questions I asked and the answers I was given.  Answer #1 is from a Verizon phone rep.  Answer #2 is from a Costco person.  We are planning on getting a 6 16GB, 6 64GB, 6+ 16GB, and 6+ 64GB.  Can someone help make clear what answer is right to each question even though they seem to always be polar opposites.
    Questions:
    1.  If I switch to edge do I have to trade in my current phones even though they are out of contract?  Answer #1: Yes you must turn in all phones to Verizon.  Answer #2: No you can keep your phones since you have already met your contract requirements.
    2.  If I pay off my phone after 24 months do I keep the $25/month discount/line?  Answer #1: When your phones are paid off your line charge will have the discount removed.  Answer #2: They won't remove the charge unless someone manually removes the discount.  They won't pay someone to go remove all those discounts on all those edge plans.
    3.  Say I only wanted to get 3 phones for now and keep one off contract could I get the edge discount on the 4th phone?  Answer #1: Never. Answer #2: Depends.  They can't do it at Costco but if I call over and over and be nice someone might add it to the 4th line for me.
    4.  Once all four edge phones are paid off and it has been 24 months do I have to turn in phones to get new edge phones? Answer #1: You must turn in phones for new phones.  Answer #2: Once you have paid off phones they are yours to keep.  The only time you have to turn in phones is if you don't pay off entire amount say 75% then you have to turn in phones to get new phones.
    5.  Are the taxes lower/line on edge because I am assuming they don't tax the payment for the phone and some of the taxes/fee are based on percentage?  I didn't get an answer on this.
    In addition to the questions above can someone make sure my math is correct?
    Contract 8GB/$70/month: $70 - 8.4 discount + $40x4 + $20(ipads) = $241.60/month.  Up front costs $1028 + $140 (activation fees) from costco = $1168 total up front.
    Edge 10GB/$80/month: $80 - 9.6 discount + $15x4 + $20(ipads) = $150.40/month + $124.97/month (phone payoff for 24months) = $275.37/month and no activation fees or phone upfront cost (costco pays sales tax and gives fifty per line back on first bill for each phone).
    That means we are paying 34.37 extra a month for 24 months = 824.88 instead of the 1168 upfront fees which is about 300 cheaper.  That is if we don't have any tax savings and doesn't include the 200 credit for edge with Costco.
    Anything I am missing I am just trying to understand what the gotchas are and if there are any downsides to Edge that I don't know about since I am not getting straight answers.

    thank you Snn5 and ummgood I am sorry.. the only question I failed to answer was .. at the end of the 2 yrs with a EDGE device ,, if you chose NOT to EDGE UP ..meaning turn in the device your purchased and upgrade to continue on the plan.. If you don't wish to Edge Up you must  pay off the remaining balance of your Verizon Edge device, either in full or according to the scheduled monthly installments. After your Edge device is paid off, you can purchase a new device under a 2-year service agreement. this is listed in the link I attached for you... and was the reason I stated above the review the link.
    the EDGE is just a feature that helps customers upgrade their device by allowing them to make installment payments ,,, giving them a slight discount on the access line to help ease the normal cost...they are given 2 yrs to satisfy their agreement,,, at the end of the period or anytime during they have the option to EDGE UP ,, which allows them to change out the device by trading in the original EDGE device for a new one and starting the cycle all over..
    so to break this down per your questions
    #1 no you do not have to turn over any existing equipment you already have/had prior to the edge program
    #2 the device you purchase in order to be placed on the EDGE pkg  must be paid off within the 2 yr time frame and the payments are broken down by Verizon and this is WHAT is the determining factor of what the EDGE plan will cost you before the line access charge and data charge is included
    #3 the number of devices under the EDGE pkg is ten.. you must have at least 1 that is a new device  that you will be making payments on and the number of NEW devices you may have is determined by VERIZON but no more than 10 new total.. as it is the payments against the new device that qualifies the program
    #4 yes any EDGE device (devices that were originally purchased in order to get the EDGE pkg) must be turned in to EDGE Up... whether paid up or with at least 75% paid off.. IF you do not wish to EDGE UP after the 2 yr time frame.. you may purchase NEW devices and go back under that standard plans Verizon has to offer...
    #5 No company can lower sales tax,, the installments are configured against total cost.. which would be the device(s) taxes and any other surcharges
    the last part.. the cost.. you are listing an up front cost .. I would check with VERIZON to see how much you qualify to do under installments,, as COSTCO can not do that,,the price they are quoting actual cost of them selling the devices...
    so the EDGE is designed the allow payment installments,, that part no one here can estimate the monthly cost as we do not have access to your data nor can we set a total amount for Verizon to allow installments on.. that is why you need to contact them directly ... EDGE  cost of monthly installment (according to amnt Verizon can set for you divided into payments) plus for every SMARTPHONE device you purchased you receive $15.00 off their line fee if you include at data plan that is at least 500mb to 8 GB and $25.00 per smartphone off line fee for data plans 10 GB or higher  YOUR activation fee is waived for device purchased under the Edge plan...
    THAN you can save even more by adding a calling plan,, like the  MORE EVERYTHING plan which has the unlimited talk, text, hotspot/wifi, the data plan can be shared instead of a separate plan per phone . international message, the Cloud storage plan ..etc.. without know exactly what your devices are and how much Verizon will allow your acct to do under installments,, the total monthly NO ONE here is able to answer.. .but the monthly on the MORE EVERYTHING is $140 plus the discounted line fee per device.. the link will advise the devices allowed and the amount of each line fee
    The MORE Everything Plan FAQs | Verizon Wireless
    and placing the order through Verizon you will get $150 credit applied for EACH qualifying Smartphone you purchase under the EDGE plan...
    again I apologize for not fully breaking it down this way as all of this is broken down in the original link I gave.. and if I have missed any thing,,, please,, let me know and I will be happy to go over it with you..

  • Want to change share everything plan, but have a conundrum.

    I went into a Verizon store a couple of months ago to buy a smartphone. First time dealing with Verizon so they ask me what I am looking for and what kind of data I want to be allowed. After telling them what I wanted (unlimited talk and text, 1GB of data) they offer, "Since you are signing for a 2 year contract we have a promotion going on that you can get a free tablet (Elipsis) and 1GB of data per month for life." I thought, "Hey sounds good" right? So I went with that deal. I got a S4 with 1GB and the tablet on the share everything plan for $90 a month. After a a couple of months I saw my tablet used roughly a total of 10MB in those two months. So I decided I really didn't need it. I decided then to drop my data down to 250MB a month and still keep my 1 GB, so I thought. By selecting that I was informed I would lose my data promotion. Ok, Let's see what else I can do. I call Verizon to see about their single line plans for 1GB. They said if I wanted to go that route I would have to pay $165 for an early termination fee for the tablet line. So now I am left to either lose my data promotion for the tablet and still end up paying the $10 a month line fee, or pay $165 to cancel that line to get the single line plan. I don't see how how I can be charged the termination fee for a device I was given for free along with the data and for them to take away the promotional data because I want to lower the data on my share everything plan. The single line plan I am looking at is $60 a month and to drop the data on my share everything plan along with the 1Gb promotional data it would come to $65 (If I was allowed to do that). Seems kind of unfair to me.

        Hiker_Dude, we want you to take advantage of the best deals on our network. The tablet device was offered for free with a two year agreement. Do you remember signing the two year contractual agreement? Additionally, a letter confirmation was also sent to your billing address that confirmed these changes on your account, as well. As a result, if you cancel that line before the contract expires, the Early Termination fee would be valid.
    Is there any other particular reason why you no longer want the tablet? Do you know of anyone that would be willing to assume responsibility of that line. http://vz.to/1tqix6n We offer other MORE Everything plans that will fit your needs http://vz.to/1lwOwRQ

  • My Skype to Go Number Incompatible with Skype

    It's also happening to me.
    Around two month ago I started using MagicJack, everything works good with the phone, even when I call out US to my favorites/registered skype numbers works fine; but for no registered/favorite number I need to call through my (local) main sjype number this (Majicjack) tells me "to call a conference line or platform visit us to MajickJack-dot-com to purchase pre-paid minutes"; why????
    How could you fix this????
    Subject/title edited for clarity.

    Here's a transcript of a 'conversation' I had with the Magic Jack people in regard to this problem.
    Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Shane'
    Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK11153080006720X
    Shane: Hello, how may I help you?
    Shane: We use Tech Chat to better assist you. By using Tech Chat, we can send you instant upgrade links and run several diagnostic tests, that cannot be done over the telephone. We are also able to see where you are located, what OS and Internet browser you are using. Lastly we can see that your Internet connection is working too.This will provide the best Customer care experience and keep you most satisfied.
    Shane: Hello, how may I help you?
    John: When calling 661-748-xxxx I receive the following msg "Please go to my.magicjack.com/prepaid and purchase prepaid minutes to call conference calls, platforms and this number 2 cents per minute" This is a Skype phone with a California area code. Why do I get the above msg?
    Shane: Let me explain
    John: Please do
    Shane: When you hear this voice prompt calling certain US/Canadian number, it doesn't mean that you cannot call that certain number. However, in order for the call to connect in that line, you have to purchase International Prepaid Minutes. It is because the number you are calling is identified as one of the following lines : Platform line, Conference line, Fee-per-call, or a Non-ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier) phone number. You may wonder what are these type of services/lines. These are type of lines where "per-call toll charges" are incurred by telephone service subscribers that you are calling.
    John: So if ' "per-call toll charges" are incurred by telephone service subscribers that you are calling. ' is the case then they (the subscribers) pay the charges - why is MJ asking me to pay?
    Shane: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
    Shane: It may depend on the other phone carriers end if calling a magicjack number would incur charges, but if magicjack calls this certain numbers, then you will need to get Prepaid minutes to connect.
    John: So what you are saying is that MJ users have to pay 2 cents a minute to call any Skype user?
    John: And presumably this is a Skype problem??
    John: because of the way they have defined their phone numbers?
    Shane: oh if this is a Skype number, that won't usually work sinec VOIP to VOIP calls from magicjack will not work properly
    John: I see, thank you for the info - I will forward this info to the Skype user in question. Have a fine day. John A.
    Shane: You are most welcome, I hope somehow I assisted you with your concerns, have a great day ahead, God bless,
    Further to the above, in this case, the Skype caller, when calling my magic number would be 'connected' briefly and then nothing.  At the MJ end, the MJ phone would ring, the Skype caller's phone number would be displayed but there was no voice communication between us.
    So there you have it.

    I am on a plan with a basic phone that is breaking. I was given a smartphone that belonged to a relative that is now deceased, (they used the phone since they have passed it is deactivated.) how can I switch my phone over and is there anyway to avoid a data package/plan?

    What is your current plan?  In some cases it can be cheaper to move to a More Everything plan with an out of contract line. With More Everything, you will get a $15 per month reduction in line fee with a minimal data. 

  • What is the monthly cost to add an addittional smartphone?

    My daughter would like a phone for Christmas. We are attempting to determine what the additional monthly costs would be to add a additional smartphone to our plan (above and beyond the initial costs for the phone itself).

    That would depend on the plan and the way you purchase the phone.  More Everything - $40 line access, discounted for EDGE payment plan, or no contract purchase (full price) based on total data bucket.  $9.99 line fee and $30 for 2gb data if you are on the old Nationwide plan and want to stay there. 
    Basically $40 added to your monthly bill for the additional line and data...with a [possible discount based on other factors.

  • Verizon edge

    I signed a contract May 2014 at this time I didn't know about the verizon edge plan or offered it I found out about it the other day when a family member came over and mentioned it to me  and told me all about it and how less expensive it is I'm wanting to know even tho I signed a 2 year contract with no deposit and nothing was mentioned to me about verizon edge plan can I go to that plan being it wasn't offered to me

    JerryG0458 wrote:With the edge from what my family member told me about I can choose what ever phone I want just have to put a percentage down then have a earlier upgrade and he gets more data and has two lines for less than what I  pay now with the 2 year I can choose other phones but have to pay more and have to wait 2 years for upgrade
    I think you're confused about the plan. With the Edge plan you pay full price for the phone over 20 payments. When you get a phone on contract you typically get a huge discount. Hence the contract. For example a Galaxy S 5 would be $199 with a 2 year contract. On Edge it's $600. You're 3 months into a new contract so yes you'll need to finish that contract to pay off the $400 discount you got. Also with Edge you get either a $10 or $25 discount per month depending on your data plan.
    So say you're on a 2 GB data plan. With a discounted 2 year upgrade for a Galaxy S5 you're monthly cost would be $40 line fee, $50 data fee so $90 plus taxes/fees. With Edge you cost would be $30 line fee( $40-$10 discount ), $50 data fee, $30 Edge payment. For a total of $110  plus taxes and fees. For a 10 GB data plan it would be $40 line fee + $100 data $140 total for 2 year contract. One the Edge plan it would be $15 line fee( $40-$25 ), $100 data, $30 Edge payment. for a total of $145 per month. After 1 year or when 60% of the cost of the phone is paid off you can upgrade to a newer phone on the Edge plan as long as you trade in your current phone and it's in good working condition.

  • My bill is just too high!  What is the cheapest way to switch if I'm still under contract?

    I have four lines.  It is costing me $260 a month for unlimited talk and text, and 6G shared data.  It is killing me to keep this up, but I still need my lines.  I'm researching other carriers to see if I can get my bill to $150 or less.  There are options, but after October I will still have one line under contract.  Can anyone guess what my early termination fee would be at that time?

    When you log into the MyVerizon account for the account owner, go to change features. At the top will be an option to add a line fee discount if it is not under contract. Click on that. You would have to do it for each line which is not under contract. With a 6 GB shared data allowance, you would get a discount of $10/line not under contract.
    Depending on how many lines you have out of contract, it MAY be beneficial to increase your data allowance to 10 GB/month. If you have a 10 GB/month data allowance, you would get a discount of $25/month/line. The increase in cost from 6 GB to 10 GB would only be $20/month(6 GB cost = $80/month, 10 GB cost = $100/month) but if you have 2 lines out of contract, the increase in discount would be $30/month(2 x $10/month discount = $20/month, 2 x $25/month discount = $50/month). When you get another line out of contract, your discount would increase each month by either $10 or $25 depending on you data allowance.

  • Having buyers remorse-thinking I should have stayed with old plan

    Went into retail store because my 18 month old IPhone 4S would not connect to wi-fi.  Was told it was a known problem and it was not under factory warranty and I had to buy a new phone. If it is a known problem, why did it not warn you when you upgrade IOS?  It seems like a plot with Apple to make you buy new equipment.
    So now I'm re-thinking that switching to Verizon Edge is not the plan I want.  The only advantage I see is that I could get an upgrade after I pay off the phone which costs $649 so at $27 a month I would be eligible in 12 months to get a new phone.  So it seems that now the new plan is just like leasing a phone and you never really own it unless you pay the $649.  Is a phone really worth that much money?
    Really unsettled now.  I knew I should not have gone into a retail store, they are sales driven and I never feel like I see the bottom line to compare costs and make a decision.  Every time I have gone into a store I feel like I was sold something I really did not want.  Lesson learned to really listen to my gut and shop online to make the right decision.  Not unhappy that I got a new phone on the spot, but just not sure the plan is what I really want.
    Can someone give me the hard #'s to compare?  I have 4 lines that share 6GB of data so I'm paying pre-tax $240 ($80 + 40 + 40 + 40 +40).  If I'm paying $27 for the new phone + $80 (data) + 40 + 40 +40 + 30 (new edge plan) = $257.  Wouldn't I be better to pay a couple hundred dollars now and own the phone and not have to pay the monthy fee?  Really what is the benefit if you are not a person that needs to have the most current phone?

    My last phone did not last 2 years so I'm afraid to be paying $649 for a phone and then end up having to buy another one in a year because the phone broke.
    Then perhaps Edge IS for you. Also if you pay the $199 you have to pay the $30 upgrade fee so it's actually $229. If your phone cost $27 a month for 12 months that is $324 but you are getting $10 discount on the line fee so that's $120. So your actual cost for the phone would be $204 AND you get a new phone in a year instead of waiting a year. Sure you have to give the phone back but why would you want it if you're getting a new phone?

  • The cost of an iPhone 6

    The price of the iPhone 6 is $649-$849
    No matter how you chose to pay for it, in the end you pay full retail price.
    The 2 year contract price is $199, plus $40 upgrade/activation fee (goes up on August 1st) plus the line fee is a full $40 a month.
    With Next, the retail price is divided into monthly payments. The sales tax must be paid according to your state law.

    It depends. If you are buying in store, they only do the NEXT program.

    With a 2 year committment, and iPhone is $199 but you will lose the out of contract discount on your plan of $15 to $25. But 2 year committment phones must be purchased online or if purchased at a store, it will be shipped to you.
