IANAL-Is it possible to set up a class-action lawsuit on this? We, Verizon customers, entered into a 2-year contract agreement. Now, in the middle of that contract, they are changing the agreement. At the least, shouldn't they be forced to wait until a customer signs a new contract to institute new fees?

Perhaps someone with more legal experience can chime in. As a Verizon customer who just signed a new 2-year agreement, I'd be willing to join the class and spread the word about it.



I assume they will respect any existing contracts. The class action stuff around fees has generally been because the provider misrepresents the nature of the fee. For instance, they advertise a $39 a month plan, but then throw in a pure revenue surcharge with a description that makes it look like a federal tax.
