This seems normal, and somewhere in the Verizon terms it should denote the cost of all fees and taxes associated with phones. Phone carriers have all gone to this billing model and advertise the cost of the data plan separately from other fees. Why? you might ask. Well that 5GB shared plan can be split over multiple devices depending on how many you have, but each have their own access fee to get access to that data bucket.
A typical phone bill consists of:
Main Line
Shared Data Plan
Additional Line Access Fees (equal to the number of additional phones)
Just looking at BestBuy.com, it does appear in the on screen details once you select Add a Line and log into the Verizon side of things. This makes sense because those fees are handled by the carrier and have nothing to do with the promotions Best Buy offers on the device hardware. This would be identical no matter where you shop for a Verizon phone. Hope this helps clear up any misconceptions.
