direct debiting your checking account waives the fee.
Certainly not universally, but perhaps it does with Verizon. Paying my rent via directing debiting of a checking account incurs something like a $2.99 "convenience fee." Too little information to say whether it's a small-volume issue, greed, or otherwise. yet, I can pay via hand-delivered paper check with no extra fees.
