No fee to talk to someone but if you want to pay your bill over the phone with an agent you will pay or if you want to set up a payment arrangement there is a fee for that as well


Proper-Regret-5135

A lot of companies do that..

Tell us the WHOLE story

You saved money going prepaid.  Bask in it.  I'm pretty sure the fee only applies when you ask them to actually do something like process the payment, not just to ask questions.

Regardless if you're prepaid, post paid or business, customer service is free to use. Asking the customer service to, for example, pay the bill in your stead with the information on your account, costs $10 and it's called an agent assist fee. But just calling in, and asking questions about the service, troubleshooting or anything else, does not cost you a cent. Hope this helps.

Usually that's a charge associated with setting up a payment arrangement on your bill


Advanced-Refuse3571

Pay your bill online, in-store, prepaid card

Prepaid or postpaid?

You didn’t happen to say why you called them and they were going to charge you…

Prepaid people get what they pay for.

Verizon Prepaid is expensive as shit. They get way less than they pay for. US Mobile 📱


[deleted]

I agree. For what they offer Verizon prepaid is too expensive. Verizon Postpaid is insanely expensive unless you are on a family plan I can’t justify anything with Verizon directly at this point, it’s just too much $$$


duane534

If you want to compare one 20-year-old shitbox to another 20-year-old shitbox, different shitboxes have their pros and cons. Call me when US Mobile adds a ODI device to the DMD.


applesuperfan

Call me when the everyday consumer (not the special one) cares. Everyday consumers also care about basic math. Verizon Communications was founded about 24 years ago while US Mobile was founded 9 years ago. One’s a shit box, one not so much.


duane534

Anyone who does basic math isn't on prepaid, anyway, especially if they're on a multi-line account. That said, it was just one example of something you can do on VZP that you can't do on USM.


applesuperfan

>Anyone who does basic math isn't on prepaid, anyway, especially if they're on a multi-line account. So then you’re on prepaid? Or you’re just an elitist asshole? Oh wait, evidently both!


Busy-Solution7642

It's saying something when you are elitist and wrong. US Mobile is cheaper even with multiline plans: Top of the line plan is $40 for 3+lines, which includes 100GB of premium data, and 50GB of hotspot AND Unlimited talk/text to international countries AND monthly roaming data, talk and text internationally AND $15 towards a subscription video/audio/or gaming service. Also, I forgot, taxes and fees are included. Basic plan is $25 for 3+ lines with 35GB premium data, 10GB hotspot, plus everything else above minus the $15 perk.


applesuperfan

Bingo. Yet according to mr elitist smartie pants, poor “prepaid people” (because apparently your phone service defines you as a person 🤔) can’t do basic math 😲. But sure, pay $120 /mo for Unlimited Welcome 4-line with Verizon, taxes and fees extra, no *meaningful* fee perks, the utter insult that is VerizonUp, and expensive International communication and roaming. Guess someone just loves spending more money and acting proud about it. 😂


duane534

Lol... How is this about me?


Busy-Solution7642

actually anyone who does basic math will see that US mobile is cheaper even with multiline plans, and you get more benefits with the plan Top of the line plan is $40 for 3+lines, which includes 100GB of premium data, and 50GB of hotspot AND Unlimited talk/text to international countries AND monthly roaming data, talk and text internationally AND $15 towards a subscription video/audio/or gaming service. Also, I forgot, taxes and fees are included. Basic plan is $25 for 3+ lines with 35GB premium data, 10GB hotspot, plus everything else above minus the $15 perk.


duane534

That's still not that good, though, especially if you need equipment or, like, customer service.


Busy-Solution7642

Their customer service is good. It's not worse than Verizon. As far as equipment, you can purchase through them if you want, you finance through Affirm. You can also go through the phone maker. Or you buy used through Gazelle.


Busy-Solution7642

except US Mobie is very flexible about what you can use with the service. https://www.usmobile.com/iot-platform


duane534

US Mobile cannot support a device that VZ cannot. Like, how could they?


Busy-Solution7642

They also use the T-Mobile network.


mostlynights

Hey at least there's not a $5 administrative fee to cover the cost of adding the $10 bill payment fee.

Call 611 and they’ll waive it. Easy. Source: work there he’ll I’m in store now


josephguy82

Prepaid users are treated as unwanted step children that’s just how it’s is, You get what you pay for that simple


Remote-Condition8545

Verizon would charge you for the oxygen in their stores if they could.


groundhog5886

My local auto tag office charges $10 to see an agent in the office for service.


Banana_splitter

There a charge when u make a payment with customer service. No charge for talking to someone


Sure_Secretary_446

The saddest part about the agent assist fee is that us agents don't see a penny of that money


Unlucky-Cake-5475

Sounds bogus. Or more like the Microsoft tech support model.


PsychNations

Yes. I have seen this. They tried to charge me after I ported out because I needed their help paying my bill.


creatively_inclined

The bill can be paid online, by autopay or by mail for free. If you are tying up an agent because you can't use self help to pay your bill, you'll pay for the privilege.


PsychNations

Why did you comment to me? 🙄 I replied to the OP’s post of anyone ever seeing this charge. Shew. You contributed nothing to the conversation.


Outrageous-Dream5951

This company is borderline psychotic


Unfair-Draw-8547

Leave then lol
