Verizon Wireless has officially unveiled a pair of new pre-paid smartphone plans. These new plans are available as of today and are being touted as “wallet-friendly.” That being said, the plans have arrived priced at $60 and $70 per month and they each include some data along with voice and messaging.
In fact, both of the plans include unlimited calling and text messaging. The $60 plan will give the subscriber 500MB of data and the $70 plans brings the data up to 2GB. Those choosing to go this route will be on a month-to-month basis, which really just means that you will not be signing a two-year commitment.
That bit sounds sounds nice, however that means you will need to bring, or purchase a smartphone. Unfortunately, if you go the purchase route, you will need to purchase that smartphone without any of the subsidies. Verizon Wireless has several handset options to choose from including more than a few that happen to be running Android.
Of course, if the cost of a new smartphone is an issue, Verizon Wireless has reminded users that they do not necessarily need a new smartphone. They have said that “no-longer-used smartphone sitting in a drawer at home can be activated on a prepaid plan with no annual contract.” Bottom line here, regardless of whether you have an old phone or decide to purchase something new — Verizon Wireless now has two new pre-paid plans available.
You say “That being said” in almost every article you write.
Still cost more than virgin mobile, and they give unlimited data
If they dropped those prices by $10 and these plans included their LTE, I might consider it.
