Verizon ‘Travel’ fees under fire

New Yorkers who signed up for Verizon Wireless’ TravelPass service — $10 a day for phone, text and data usage overseas — say they’re getting slammed with hundreds of dollars in unexpected charges.

One of those with sticker shock was Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who used the service during a recent trip to Israel and got a bill for $925 when he got home.

“I thought it was a joke — and not a very funny one,” said Hikind.

Hikind got his bill reduced after lengthy discussions with Verizon supervisors and is now intervening on behalf of other New York customers and pushing for a probe of the service.

A company spokesman said, “We are looking into the customer issues you shared.”
