AND a $40 activation fee.

Why else would BB offer contracts that VZW doesn't for the exact same price? Doesn't make sense.

Apparently so.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see that line access notice when I was going through.

Let me go back...

I get this...

And BB support says this...

Forgive me if this doesn't work. I haven't uploaded pics from the actual site on PC in FOREVER.

And there's this, but they specifically said it shouldn't change my monthly bill. So I'll keep an eye on that as well.

I'm talking about the 2 year contract option, Johnny. Not the Device Payment option that you have selected in your picture.

$1.99 does seem too good to be true for a brand new phone. If there is some hidden $40 a month fee then that would explain how Best Buy is able to sell these this cheap and still make money

I don't see that $40 device fee per month either.

BB sells phone for $1 all the time. It's the contract they get paid for not the devices.

So am I. Sorry. I went back to get that screen grab. The payment plan was selected by default. I saw nothing about adding the access fee monthly like in your picture. I was already month to month and paying the $20 fee per month, including my paid-off, not from VZW Nexus 6p and my wife's new, on-payments S7.

Worse case scenario, I'll keep an eye on my plan on the VZW site and My Verizon app. So far, it's still showing $20 line access fee for each of my lines.

14 day return policy, so if I notice the monthly payment get jacked up, I can return it within the window and think I should be safe to assume my line access fee will go back to $20 because it's supposed to be based on device.

I'm not clear on how they get paid for it though? Unless Pere's right and they're going to double my line access fee, how do they make any money on the deal? If my VZW bill stays the same, I don't think VZW is going to pay BB on my behalf or anything.

This is what I saw when I added to my cart after putting in my vzw phone number and info.
I'm tempted to buy one for that price.

Enjoy your new phone Jonny. 'Bout time you got a Moto.

Will do as long as they don't charge me $20 extra a month.

I was as big of a Moto fanboy as you back in the day. Droid, droid X, droid 2 r2-d2 for a few days, bionic.

Will be interesting to see how they've changed after all of this time with Sammy & now Nexus.

I think I know what it is. NEW customers pay the $40. Existing pay $20.
I said New when running through it.

Makes sense. Hope you're right. That's mean I just got a killer deal.
