Verizon reveals 20 GB shared data plan
Remember Verizon's announcement of the Share Everything plans earlier this summer? The company has now revealed five additional tiers of data capacity that aren't posted on the Verizon website but can be purchased through arrangement with customer service personnel. As with the rest of the features of the Share Everything data plans, the 20 GB data bucket can be shared among 10 mobile devices. Verizon spokesman Brenda Raney noted that most of the company's customers use less than 2 GB of data per month. However, it's possible to top that amount easily just by downloading one high-definition full-length movie, and if several people on your Share Everything plan like watching movies, you can blow through 20 GB very quickly. So, how much is all of this data going to cost you? The 20 GB shared data plan costs $150 per month, which is $50 less per month for the same amount than AT&T's upcoming Mobile Share plans. You can also pick 12 GB for $110 per month, 14 GB for $120 per month, 16 GB for $130 per month, or 18 GB for $140 per month. The shared plans charge a set monthly fee for each device, then add the shared data bucket on top of that monthly cost.
Verizon Wireless announces Share Everything family plans
With no hyperbole at all, Verizon Wireless has announced "Share Everything Plans that will forever change the way customers purchase wireless services." The new plans create a bucket of unlimited voice, text, video and picture messaging, and a data allowance that can be used on up to ten devices on the Verizon network. The plans, which begin on June 28, 2012 and are available to new and existing customers, also include the Mobile Hotspot service on all of the devices. The plan has two steps. First, you pay a monthly line access fee for every device. That fee is US$40 for smartphones, $30 for basic phones, $20 for USB modems, Jetpack mobile hotspots, and data-equipped notebooks and netbooks, and $10 for tablets. Next, you determine how much data you wish to share amongst up to 10 devices. The prices, seen in the chart above, range from $50 per month for a paltry 1 GB of shared data to $100 for a monthly bucket of 10 GB. Verizon has a tool available online to help customers figure out how to pick the best option. In the meanwhile, enjoy the ad that you'll probably be viewing ad infinitum on TV over the next few weeks. [via MacRumors]
