Line Change Charge

[bkdad]

Has anyone else gotten one of these? I recently downgraded my plan for our summer cottage. No fees were mentioned by the rep on the phone. I then find a one time $26 line change charge on my bill. I get on chat and am told this is a normal fee. Strangely, when I went from Basic to Freedom (upgrade) there was no such charge. I then get on chat today and am told if I did the change online I would not have received the charge. What?!?! The kicker is I tried to make the change myself online but a box came on the screen saying I needed to call.

This is a billing change not a line change. I did a search in both Verizon glosseries and there is no Line Change Charge listed. I then went into Build Your Own Bundle and read all the fine print...no line change charge mentioned. I just went through several months with another phone company who promised the moon, then downgraded the internet pkg while charging the same monthly fee. I had higher hopes for Verizon. Oh well. Guess I'll have to start recording all phone calls with phone companies and screenshot-ting all chats from now on.
