Verizon Wireless outs new pre-paid data plans: one useless, one a semi-rip off.
Oh noz! Looks like Verizon is vying for world’s most back stabbing carrier award. While AT&T’s low-end 250MB data plan is pretty laughable itself, VZW wants you to know that it hates you more — dear customer who is raped financially each month.
On that happy and graceful note, the new pre-paid data plans:
- Low end:$10/month for 25MB (Yes, that’s it)
- High end:$30/month for “Unlimited”
Of course, like all good things, there has to be an end to this “Unlimited” story of theirs. Is it soft capped at 2GB, 5GB, a bajillion? I’ve sent a letter off to Verizon to get to the bottom of it. You’ll know when I know.
In the meantime, debate amongst yourselves as to the strategy of these data plans. To get the party started, I’ll toss in my $0.02 — Verizon is releasing a completely useless “ultra low end” data plan that no one will use (or pay insane overage charges) and effectively forcing every single one of their pre-paid smartphone (and probably most featurephone users) to pay $30 for data. Nevermind the fact that $30 is on the high side.
Debate away…
