(Gray News) - Consumers can expect to see their cellphone bills increase as companies look for ways to fight inflation.
Each voice line for Verizon Wireless will go up $1.35, making the total administrative fee $3.13 a month, according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg also reports that Verizon representatives said business customers will see phone data plans increase by $2.20 a month and basic service plans going up by 98 cents.
You can expect to see the new charges beginning in June.
This move comes on the heels of AT&T announcing similar price increases.
According to Bloomberg, AT&T raised its rates on older consumer plans by $6 on single lines and $12 for families in an effort to compete with rising costs and wages.
