Verizon Rolls Out New Plans For Smartphones

April 14th, 2008 (8:56am) Jason Harris 2 CommentsTweet This

This Verizon Wireless morning announced a new pricing plan for customers. Dubbed “E-mail and Web for Smartphone,” the new package is priced at $29.99. Verizon has aimed this data plan at those who are looking for unlimited e-mail and Internet Browsing.

E-mail and Web for Smartphone is different than Verizon’s previous data plan because it doesn’t include access to enterprise e-mail systems such as Microsoft Exchange. To use this plan, you must have a Verizon Wireless SMT5800, Verizon Wireless XV6800, or a Motorola Q9M.

I have long thought wireless carriers’ data access plans are way too expensive, this new price is more in the realm of a reasonable offering.

Let’s hope other providers follow suit.

same price as the current 10mb plan, right? I have a treo and pay this much. I use it for pop mail and web surfing.
