Verizon Wireless announced a new data plan today for consumers who may be looking for a lower-cost data plan for their smartphones. The new 500MB tier Share Everything plan includes unlimited calls and texts across multiple devices and a pool of 500MB of data per month for only $40. There is a $40 per month charge per smartphone or $10 per month per tablet. For an individual with only one smartphone, that comes up to $80 per month for only 500MB of data. For $90 that same consumer could get 1GB of data or for $100 per month they could get a 2GB plan. It is a bit of stretch to see the value in the plan compared to the options with double to quadruple the available data, but for a user on a strict budget it may meet their needs. Consumers could probably shop around for some prepaid plans to get a better deal though.
The new offering comes about a week after AT&T announced their own low-cost Mobile Share package that provides 300MB of data for $20 per month with a $50 per smartphone fee, making it effectively $10 less than the Verizon plan, but with a data limit that is only 60% of what Verizon is now offering.
