Verizon now offers a three -year price block, but there is a capture

Verizon today announces a new price lock policy, and the moment is probably not coincidence. The company is extending a three -year price guarantee in certain plans, both for new and existing customers. The announcement occurs a day after President Trump released radical rates, and Verizon says he hopes to give customers more “predictability” in the current economic environment. But the small print leaves Verizon a lot of maneuver.

The three -year guarantee covers the base charge for its tariff plan, but not rates and taxes, and must be in one of the new Verizon MyPlan subscriptions to qualify. That means that Verizon can still increase its monthly bill in the form of higher rates, which is what wireless operators tend to do anyway when they want to collect more. They can also reduce their automatic monthly discount by half, or persuade it to move to a more expensive plan with the offer of a new phone. There are many levers so that companies like Verizon Tire, even with a price block.

However, the price block is not the only new offer on the table. Verizon is also launching a free telephone to new and existing customers. You will only need to exchange an old phone of Apple, Samsung or Google in any condition, and again, you must be in a Myplan subscription to take advantage. With much economic uncertainty ahead, an exchange agreement may sound attractive. Just be sure to read the small print to know what you are getting.
