What are the activation fees and hidden fees for the Verizon in pulse phone and the At&t go phone that you purchase at best buy??

[wzap300]

There are no activation fees whatsoever with pay as you go options, however, the AT&T GoPhones give you two options you can use with regard to airtime:

• 25 cents per minute flat rate with no daily fee

• 10 cents per minute rate, with $1.00/day fee whether you use the phone or not, plus unlimited calling to AT&T customers free.

With InPulse, here are your options:

• Core Option: 99 cents daily access fee, unlimited mobile to mobile, 10 cent N/W and per minute and text message sent.
• Plus Option: $1.99 daily access fee, unlimited mobile to mobile, unlimited night minutes, 5 cent weekend minutes per min. and text.
• Power Option: $2.99 daily access fee, unlimited mobile to mobile, unlimited N/W, 2 cents per minute and per text.

Hopefully that helps,

The activation fees only apply to post paid phones, the contracted phones that is.

Not entirely true, Sassums. There are some no contract carriers that do charge an activation fee. One of them being Jitterbug, which is a carrier that caters to the elderly.

I was not aware of such activation fee, thanks for the information, any idea how much the fee is?

As far as post paid carriers, such as ATT, Sprint, and Verizon (These might be different depending on the stores location) I know it is possible to get them waived, such as this weekend ATT has been running no activation fees.

For Jitterbug it is a $35 activation fee.
