• Verizon is apparently increasing its controversial administrative charge.
• This fee is purportedly going up from $3.30 to $3.60 a month per voice line.
• We’ve asked Verizon to confirm this fee increase.

Verizon has long forced users to pay a monthly “Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge,” with complaints that this fee wasn’t adequately explained to customers. The company continued this practice after settling a $100 million lawsuit, and it now looks like this controversial fee is getting more expensive.

A Redditor discovered that Verizon’s admin fee has been increased from $3.30 to $3.60 a month per voice line. The user also pointed out that the fee costs $1.60 per data line. The carrier previously charged $1.40 per data line.
