For anyone looking to start a new Verizon contract should be aware that Verizon started their tiered data packages today. The new plans allow customers to purchase a wide range of data options. As many observers will note, this has been coming for a while. AT&T made the switch to tiered data packages a while ago. For customers buying a smartphone the lowest package comes in at $30 and gives you 2GB of data. It is worth noting that AT&T currently offers a 250MB plan for $14.99 and their 2GB is $24.99. It will be interesting to see if the other two decent size carriers follow..
The data package is as follows:
2GB – $30 5GB – $50 10GB – $80
If you would like add mobile hotspot access to that it changes things:
4GB – $50 7GB – $70 12GB – $100
