No doubt in an effort to compete with the likes of AT&T and its unlimited data plan for web access, Verizon Wireless released today, April 14, 2008, a new unlimited web data plan of its own.
Called "Verizon Wireless E-Mail and Web for Smartphone", the plan includes an array of attractive features:
- Unlimited data allowance for internet browsing and email access
- Support for up to 10 email accounts (including Yahoo!, AOL, and Windows Live)
- Familiar branded email interfaces
And all directly from your smartphone.
The plan may look familiar to BlackBerry users on the Verizon network, as it's already been available for them. But now users of other Verizon smartphone can enjoy the convenience as well, starting with:
- Verizon Wireless SMT5800
- Verizon Wireless XV6800
- MOTO Q9m
In line with the service's top competitor's rate, Verizon Wireless will be offering unlimited web and email access for smartphones for $29.99 per month (on top of any existing voice plan)
I wonder if this means Verizon will be changing its slogan to: "Can you read me now?"
