Verizon Wireless has adjusted its selection of prepaid service plans for smartphones, basic phones, and data devices. Verizon now offers three plans to smartphones.
The least expensive option, $30 per month, includes unlimited voice/text, but no wireless data — Verizon expects customers of this plan to access data via WiFi only.
Verizon is also offering $45 and $60 prepaid smartphone plans that include 1GB and 3GB of data, respectively. Basic phones have two options: The $15 plan buys 300 talk/text (combined) and unlimited data, while the $30 plan buys unlimited talk/text and data.
Last, Verizon now offers data devices (tablets, hotspots) weekly, monthly, and bi-monthly options. Verizon prepaid customers can opt to pay $15 for a week’s worth of access to 500MB of LTE 4G data, or $20 for a month’s worth of access to 1GB of data. The bi-monthly options cost $35 for 2GB, $60 for 5GB, and $100 for 10GB. The bi-monthly plans allow customers to access those data allotments over a two-month period.
Verizon’s new prepaid plans go into effect today.
