- Verizon will continue billing customers for its vague administrative charges even after settling a $100 million lawsuit.
- The carrier says the monthly $3.30 fee could also go up in the future.
- The fee is implemented over and above Verizon’s advertized plan charges.
Verizon recently started sending payout emails to customers as part of a $100 million class action settlement. Eligible Verizon users are getting a payout of up to $100 from the carrier. The lawsuit alleged that Verizon charged and increased an administrative fee for postpaid wireless plans in a deceptive manner. Now, even after initiating payouts to customers and settling the lawsuit, the carrier has said it’s going to continue charging a monthly “Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge.” Verizon has also said that the fee could go up in the future (via Arstechnica).
