Anyone here got first month bill, care to share if there are any additional costs other than the plan price?
Lots of addl. costs other than plan price.

Surcharges $7.76
Fed Universal Service Charge $4.30
Regulatory Charge $0.16
Admin & Telco Recovery Charge $3.30
———————————————————
Taxes & gov fees $1.69
CA State 911 Surcharge $0.30
CA State 988 Surcharge $0.08
CA State PUC Fee $0.20
CA Universal Service PPP Fee $1.11
----------------------------------------------------------

Got the $35 activation fee waived. Also add device amount remaining per month, after $830/$1000 credit. Not complaining though. Even with all these, I'm still saving $$$ compared to T-mobile Simple Choice plan (believe it or not!!)

I am currently with AT&T and switching to Verizon with 2 new line
I just went into a Verizon Wireless store tonight and the "Trade in any phone in any condiiton" banner was clearly displayed. The only condition issues that are not acceptable are battery related issues (swollen, leaking, or gets too hot).

UPDATE: I went into another Verizon store and asked the rep if there were any resitrictions regarding the condition of the trade ins and he said as long as it turns on it will be accepted. I asked about swollen batteries and he said that is fine so who knows maybe they will take it.

Yes, these are per line. This is the 1st bill. Oct 20 - Nov 20. Devices were shipped Oct 20 and that's when billing cycle started for me at least. There's some sort of advance payment included in the 1st month's bill. It's in the billing FAQs

Why you want to do this deal at verizon store rather than in Costco which will get you $250 costco shop card for each line plus extra $200 switch over credit.

Generally , you should put 15% for taxes prior to applyting any discount such as Fios/loyalty etc.

So around $10 in fees per line? I was expecting that much. Was hoping for $5 similar to Tmobile

Thanks for the info

Has anyone taken their trade in devices to a verizon store?

I took 2 of mine. I was surprised at how easy it was. One thing I did notice, the rep did not assign a particular device to a line on the account. She just processed the trade but the $1,000 over 36 months did show up on her tablet as successful.

did anyone get the auto pay discount right away?
I just signed up with my bank account.
My bill is VERY high due to the Best Buy employee messing up. I had 4 lines to port from tmobile.
She was only able to do 2 of them on day 1 and I had to go back the next day since her system wasn't allowing to add the remaining two lines.

Anyway, I just signed up for auto pay and looks like my first bill will NOT get the $40 discount
Alert! success notification
Your discount will start on Dec 09, and appear on your next bill.
You will be saving $40/mo. for being enrolled in both Auto Pay & paper-free billing.

Hopefully I can this sorted out along with the crazy billing fees.
Due to the rep having trouble, some of the lines were charged high amounts.

This is what the receipt from Costco says:
"....Costco shop cards won't be delivered until after the 90 day period. You can expect delivery of your Shop Card 2-3 weeks after the 90 day return period. "
