- Verizon is eliminating loyalty exemption, which can increase monthly bills from $ 10 to $ 25 per line.
- Several service charges are also increasing, while Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass Perks are ending.
- Despite the price of the base plan, the overall monthly bill will increase for many consumers, which will increase the reduction of discounts and increase in fees.
Update, 04 August, 2025 (09:28 AM et): Verizon has shared the following statement by the spokesperson for the recent rise in prices.
We are making some adjustments to continue to provide the best customer experience on the best 5G network and industry’s leading services and tools that save our customers’ time and money.
These adjustments are in accordance with market rates and allow us to provide advanced products and services with the majority of consumers, which increases less than 30 cents. We value our customers’ confidence and are dedicated to bringing them even more prices.
The original article, 04 August, 2025 (05:16 AM et): Verizon has recently been in the news to improve his customer support experience, but also to lose 51,000 postpaid users between April and June this year. On the contrary, T -Mobile and AT&T acquired 830,000 and 401,000 new users, respectively, so many people are leaving large red. Instead of doing anything about it, it seems that Verizon is now removing loyalty exemption, increasing your monthly bill effectively without raising prices of a project. Several, many different difficulties and heads are also increasing in their wounds, and some fraudulent processes are going away.
Verizon is removing loyalty exemption
Numerous Reddate users (1, 2, 3) have reported receiving email from Verizon, stating that the exemption in their account will expire on September 1, 2025. While the email has not been mentioned which discount is going away, consumers have contacted customer support representatives who have made it clear that loyalty exemption for all consumers is being eliminated.
Affected users stand to lose between $ 10 And $ 25 per line. A Reddit user mentioned that the loyalty exemption that is being closed has no history of expiry, that is, they were apparently “permanent”. Therefore, if you have a limited -term credit, for example, $ 10 For 12 months, this discount will not be affected.
For more Explain what is being removed from your account, open and tap my Verizon app Take action Buttons upside down the red banner. There will be one Discount Box, Where you can tap Review the details To determine which exemption is being removed.
Different fees and charges are also increasing
A Reddest user mentioned that several different charges and fees are also increasing:
- Activation fee is raising $ 35 to $ 40: A $ 5 increase.
- Tablet plan prices are increasing by $ 5 every month.
- Administrative and Telko Recovery Charge is increasing:
- On plans with sound components: $ 3.50 per line per line per line (8 0.28 changes)
- Only on data plans, excluding modem: $ 1.60 per line per line per line (37 2.37 changes)
- Verizon Regulatory Increase Charge: From $ 0.19 per line for soundable devices to .2 0.21. No change is expected only for data for the data.
Note that now it seems that the auto -left waiver does not have an effect, so at least that is sticking for now.
Apple Arcade and Google Play Perks are also getting away
Users have also received a information in my Verizon app that informed them that the Apple Arcade and Google Playport Prox will be closed with their project, which is effective from September 22, 2025.
Pure Impact: You’re going to pay the maximum amount of Verizon
Prick lock guarantees are still active for some consumers, and to a good extent, Verizon keeps respecting them as the prices of projects are not increasing. However, eliminating exemptions and requirements and increasing miscellaneous charges effectively means that you will pay a higher red price each month.
The popular emotions in the reddate are that many users are shiping, even if they have to pay their device before the schedule.

I will suggest waiting for those interested in switching, waiting for the start of the next Pixel 10 series and the iPhone 17 series in August and September, as you will find a wonderful contract for porting a new carrier. You will have to survive for a month or two in the rising prices of Verizon, but it will be able to wait for a new phone and better offers from your next career.
