I do not like Verizon and I will never get any kind of phone service from them. They just keep making these kinds of decisions which drive away more and more of their customers. It seems like they are trying to drive their company into the ground. If so, they are doing a great job of it.

As some of the large banks learned just this year, the practice of squeezing customers for fees in order to keep profits soaring may not be a wise business move during a recession.
Perhaps Verizon customers should protest this by reminding Verizon that being charged a fee for paying their bills is not on their list of resolutions for the new year.
This is an example of why I stopped doing business with them a long time ago.
