Verizon simplifies its prepaid plans

Every carrier in the United States has been making moves as of late. What better time to do it than the holiday season? Customers new and old are picking up new devices and bolstering their plans with more data. Recently, AT&T brought free roaming to Mobile Share Value plan customers; Sprint upped its network and lowered rates for new customers; T-Mobile launched unlimited video streaming and then gave more data to everyone. Even prepaid carriers Cricket Wireless and MetroPCS have introduced new benefits. Verizon, who last week announced TravelPass, now has simplified its prepaid plans for both basic phones and smartphones.

Prepaid basic phone plans:

• $15 per month for 300 minutes, texts, or messages with unlimited mobile web
• $30 per month for unlimited talk, text, and mobile web

Prepaid smartphone plans:

• $30 per month for unlimited talk and text, WiFi-only for data
• $45 per month for unlimited talk and text with 1GB of data (enroll in auto-pay for extra 1GB)
• $60 per month for unlimited talk and text with 3GB of data (enroll in auto-pay for extra 1GB)

If you ever need more data, Big Red has your back. The carrier will give you 500MB for $5 (lasting 30 days), $10 for 1GB (lasting 90 days), or $20 for 3GB (lasting 90 days).

Verizon says that these plans are all good for people that want to avoid contracts and credit checks. Their prepaid plans allow customers to pay ahead of time and choose their own commitment. Without any hidden fees, prepaid customers can come and go on Verizon’s network easily.
