I've been told that despite the fact that the phone is paid for, that  verizon charges considerably more for line access, than I would pay for using a verizon phone.

Essentially fees that bring  the cost right back up to what I'd pay if I got a Verizon phone on time payments. I can not doing that information on the webpage.

It's a question. If I could find the information elsewhere, I wouldn't be asking it here.
