Verizon customers ready for a handset upgrade will have to pay a $30 fee starting on April 22, the company announced Wednesday. The cost will be in addition to the price of the new phone and a two-year contract. Only users upgrading at the end of a contract, and therefore receiving the discounted price on a new mobile phone, must pay the $30. If a user is upgrading before their contract is complete and paying the full price of the phone, the fee will not apply.
