Verizon Plans $20 Upgrade Fee Even If You Pay Full Price For a Phone

An anonymous reader writes: According to a memo leaked by MacRumors, Verizon is planning to introduce a new $20 upgrade fee starting next week.

The new fee is in addition to the existing $40 upgrade fee for customers renewing a two-year contract with a new device.
