Activation Fee on Renewed Contract? How can I get out of that.

I know $35 is not a lot but it seems trivial to charge me money to sign another 2 year contract. I have to get a new phone as my hinge on my LG is about to come completely off. Any thoughts. Thanks.
If you're getting a new phone, then they have to activate that phone in the system. Hence the fee... 😢

Obviously the way to get out of it is to change your pplan the day before to the new promos then upgrade your equipment the next day.

vzwcustserv if you would read the m&p there is no fee for a renewl only on activation's. That is why they call it a activation fee, not a renewl fee. Before you post pls read and know what you are talking about.
Actually, I work in a retail store in the Midwest, and there is NO ACTIVATION for renewal upgrades. There is a $11.25 upgrade process fee for non-new every two upgrades. How can someone be charged an activation fee when there phone is currently active?
side note, maybe some "newbie" sales person didn't realize that our billing system I2K doesn't attach the charge for activation when upgrading..
