Similarly, most wireless providers will charge an activation fee between $20 and $35 when you set up service or add a line.

I can tell you from experience that it costs telecom companies PENNIES to activate a new device on a mobile network. The fees are just a profit booster.

Companies charging excessive fees for services that essentially cost them nothing because WTF are you going to do about it? Oh, my!
