Just talked to Verizon. They now have a $30 upgrade fee for phones and devices you buy from them at the discounted price you get for continuing your contract. This is relatively new. They say it won't be waived. The fee to activate the phone is waived. Too many types of fees!
I also Googled about and the consensus is that the fee will not be waived and it is against Verizon policy for a rep to waive the fee.
You can avoid the upgrade fee by buying the phone/device outright from someone else but odds are you won't get the price you would get from Verizon. At least, I won't with a 4G mifi device. And, you might have to pay a fee to activate anyway.
