Well today is the day for some changes if you are a Verizon subscribers.   Today marks the end of unlimited data for new subscribers as well as the end of the free 4G mobile hotspot for the ThunderBolt, Droid Charge, and the Revolution.   We warned you all of this day as it is now here.   Those of you with unlimited plans will be fine until the your current contract is over.   Then you will be subject to the tiered data (usage-based) plans Verizon now offers.   They are as follows:

Data plans:

  • 2GB – $30/month 
  • 5GB – $50/month 
  • 10GB – $80/month

If you would like to add tethering on to any of those packages, you can purchase 2GB of data at an additional cost of $20 per month.

Data plans w/ tethering:

  • 4GB – $50/month 
  • 7GB – $70/month 
  • 12GB – $100/month

If you go over your purchased amount of data, it will cost you $10 per 1GB.
Tablet data plans will now go to $30 for 2GB of data as well instead of $20 for 1GB of data that is currently available.


For those of who are now using the usage-based data plans, you can check how much data you are using by either: texting #DATA, go to My Verizon Mobile on your device or online at My Verizon, or use the data usage calculator at the Verizon Wireless website.
