What is one characteristic of the two-year agreement with Verizon?

A two-year agreement with Verizon typically requires payment for protective options upfront. This means that if a customer decides to opt for insurance or protection plans on their devices, they generally need to pay for those options at the start of the agreement rather than having those costs added to monthly bills or paid at the end of the service. This structure helps ensure that both Verizon and the customer are clear about the costs involved in protecting the device right from the beginning of the agreement. By requiring upfront payment, Verizon can guarantee coverage without the complications of adjusting fees over time based on the customer's usage or situation. This practice aligns with standard industry policies regarding device protection and warranty options.
