Cell phone rates rise

Verizon has announced a $2 surcharge for customers subscribed to their older plans, including Beyond Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited +55, Go Unlimited and Verizon Unlimited plans.

The surcharge will go into effect this month.

Verizon and other providers want customers to upgrade to their new 5G plans, which are more expensive.

Last year, both Verizon and AT&T added a $6 rate hike for individual plans and $12 for family plans, according to CNN.
