The short answer
This deduction pays for Verizon Fios home services, which include fiber internet, cable TV, and home phone.
Why is Verizon Fios charging my card?
The VERIZON*FIOS descriptor represents a payment to Verizon Communications for their fiber-optic home internet, Fios TV, or digital voice service. This charge is distinct from Verizon Wireless mobile phone bills.
If you are enrolled in Auto Pay (which usually provides a $10/month discount), this charge will post automatically. Unexpected spikes in this amount could be due to purchasing a pay-per-view movie, losing your Auto Pay discount by switching payment methods to a credit card, or the expiration of a new-customer promotion.
- Log into the My Fios app or the Verizon residential web portal.
- View your bill details to ensure your Auto Pay and paperless billing discounts are still active.
- Contact Verizon at 1-800-837-4966 if you suspect an error regarding unreturned equipment fees.
