It looks like Verizon is making good for those looking to purchase a tablet on a month-to-month basis and has begun waiving the $35 activation fee.

Similarly, people who aren’t sure which carrier to go with might go with Sprint over AT&T, Verizon, etc. To gain customers who’s contracts have expired from AT&T or Sprint, Verizon is paying for those people to port their numbers over.

The good guys over at BGR managed to get some official Verizon documents (pictured below) stating that Sprint and AT&T users will receiver $50 credit or the $35 activation fee waived, respectively. However, this only applies if you are signing up for a new 2 year contract.

T-Mobile already did something similar for New Year’s which was a deal extending through December 28 to December 31, which waived the activation fee.
