Verizon Wireless Confirms $2 Fee for Making One-Time Payments

I wonder if they should have just listed the specific circumstances which will trigger the new charge, rather than confusingly list 8-10 circumstances for which the fee will be waived. I've read the PhoneScoop article twice, and it is still not clear if we will incur the fee in our circumstance.

Regarding comments that we should all just enroll in auto-pay: Not me, I want the power to disburse the funds only when I allow it, never to let automated systems go into my accounts and extract the money. These online & automated systems are still too non-secure and non-trustworthy. They have a lot of work to do in terms of making these systems properly secure & trustworthy.
