Verizon Wireless has responded to the public backlash regarding its planned $2 bill-pay fee and decided against adding the fee. "At Verizon, we take great care to listen to our customers. Based on their input, we believe the best path forward is to encourage customers to take advantage of the best and most efficient options, eliminating the need to institute the fee at this time," said Dan Mead, president and chief executive officer of Verizon Wireless, in a statement. The idea had earned the attention of the Federal Communications Commission, which has yet to respond to Verizon's change of heart.
What a stupid, greedy company!
As if this ridiculous, oversized company with its insane profits needed to nickel and dime its customers further with a $2 fee. Its time that this company with its overpriced plans started to see a mad exodus of customers to humble it back to reality. And yes you guessed it, I am not a customer of Verizon or any of the other "Big3", because it just seems these companies are hell bent on charging more and giving less. I bet if this company started to bleed millions of customers it would all of a sudden start coming out with better plans and less costly service!

Quit your whining the company needs money. I think they should charge $5.00 for online and phone payments and $7.00 if you pay by check
They should charge a lot more than $2.00
Make us pay to pay our bills, I agree with VZW they need to make money for such a great service they give us. I'm all in favor of $5.00 extra for paying my bill. Quit whining everyone!
Good
I think that was a smart move on Verizon Wireless' part.

Another business management "Opps"!
Were any of these characters paying attention in their management classes when the chapter about about THE CUSTOMER was discussed ?!?!?! Or, were they asleep.
This is probably not due to customer feedback
Every single person at Verizon should have expected a backlash from customers about this idea. THis is a result of the FCC getting involved.
Exactly. Verizon's response is littered with absolute BS.
