New Nationwide Unlimited Talk plan options include unlimited talk and text to pair with increased data Plans on the latest 3G phones
Beginning today, Verizon Wireless will offer a new Nationwide Unlimited Talk plan that will allow customers to call anyone in the United States for $69.99 a month as well as a new Nationwide Unlimited Talk & Text plan to call and send text, picture and video messages to anyone in the country for $89.99 a month.
People on a family plan also will have new unlimited options. For voice calls only, the Nationwide Unlimited Talk Family SharePlan will be $119.99 per month and the Nationwide Unlimited Talk & Text Family SharePlan will be $149.99 per month. All family plans include the first two lines of service. Standard text message rates will apply for customers on the Nationwide Unlimited Talk plans who do not sign up for a text messaging bundle.
The company also announced the expansion of the 25MB for $9.99 per month data package requirement to include all Verizon Wireless 3G Multimedia phones, which gives customers quick access to Mobile email, games and the Internet. The $19.99 data package option for 3G phones has been discontinued.
Customers using basic phones will continue to pay $1.99 per MB or choose either the $9.99 or $29.99 per month data packages. The consumer data package for 3G Smartphones such as BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, or Android phones will remain at $29.99 per month.
For prepaid phones Verizon Wireless will also offer customers new plans. For those who prefer pay-as-you-go options, but want a no-holds approach to calling and texting, new Monthly Unlimited Prepaid plans will give customers the same calling options as monthly contract subscribers for just $5 more per month.
Prepaid Monthly Unlimited Talk is now available for $74.99 per month while contract subscribers pay $69.99 for the same unlimited calling option. Prepaid Monthly Unlimited Talk & Text will be available for $94.99 per month.
Today’s announcement won’t have any effect on existing customer contracts, although customers may choose to move to any of these new plans since Verizon Wireless allows customers to change their service plans at any time without penalty or contract extension.
