AT&T plans to raise some fees beginning August 1.
Moving forward, the activation fee for one- and two-year plans will increase from $40 to $45. AT&T raised the fee from $35 to $40 a year ago.
Moreover, AT&T is for the first time adding an activation fee to its AT&T Next plans. The AT&T Next plans have always featured a $0 down initiation cost. Starting August 1, AT&T Next plans will charge a $15 activation fee with new lines.
The $15 activation fee applies to new customers who bring their own handset, as well.
Verizon raised its activation fee from $35 to $40 in early February of this year..
