I just found out big Red aka vzw dont offer any activation fee waived even been promised by store rep or placing order for device on phone or on www.vzw.com

store rep may advised you saying no activation fee but its lie.

They have occasionally had promotions where the activation fee was credited back to the customer when purchasing online and sometimes in the store. Those promotions might not be active currently.

Activation fees are charged to VZW when a new line is activated. They pass that cost on to the customer. Activation fees have been art of cell phones forever. They aren't new.

Also, you have been a regular member of this community for a while now. You should understand that this is how it is. If there isn't a specific promotion from VZW for activation fee waivers then you're not likely to get it. As far as what a rep said, remember the last paragraph in your customer agreement.
