Verizon is planning to raise various charges for its customers, with the changes set to take effect on September 1. The activation fee, which is currently $35, will be increased to $40. This fee is charged whenever a device is activated on a line.

This monthly charge helps Verizon cover various operational costs, such as regulatory compliance, property taxes, and network expenses. The activation fee was last increased in December 2024.
Could this price hike prove to be the last straw for some Verizon customers?
Verizon may also discontinue the $10 loyalty discounts offered to customers, with some already reporting the removal of this benefit. Earlier price increases by Verizon this year led to customer loss, and the company is expected to notify customers of the upcoming changes soon.
We have reached out to Verizon for comment and will update the article accordingly.
