Don’t blame us for all the Verizon-related news today. It’s not our fault that Verizon decided to officially launch the HTC Droid Eris, the LG Chocolate Touch or the BlackBerry Curve 8530 on the same day. Furthermore the carrier decided to also announce prepaid mobile data plans for its customers.
The new prepaid data plans have been conceived for those customers that aren’t really excited about signing a new contract for mobile wireless data. The new plans are designed for the occasional users that will rarely require the presence of a broadband USB modem in their lives.
As you can expect, Verizon also has a new USB dongle ready to handle that mobile broadband connectivity for you. Starting with November 16 you will be able to pick up the USB760 modem in Verizon Wireless and Best Buy stores, a device that you’ll definitely need for browsing the Internets on a prepaid basis. The modem is equipped with a high-performance internal antenna, removable memory of up to 8GB and support for most Windows versions, Mac and Linux OS.
There are three versions of prepaid data plans available and depending on your actual needs you can access Verizon’s 3G network using a daily, weekly or monthly prepaid plan. In case you want mobile Internet for a day, you’ll get the dongle for $15 which includes a 75MB allowance. If a day is not enough then you can ask for the weekly prepaid plan which costs $30 and limits your traffic at 250MB per week. The monthly plan is of course more expensive. For $50 you’ll be served with a 500MB monthly allowance which frankly is not good enough, is it? But then again you’re looking for prepaid choices so that’s about as good as it gets at this point, at least from Verizon Wireless.
How do these new prepaid data plans sound to you? Will you get one or would you rather hunt for free Wi-Fi hotspots instead?

Chris,
Does One-Day Plan give you 24 hours of cumulative use, or
say you used just 5 minutes in a busy day, but that’s all you
you get, too bad?

It’s not bad for business trips since Verizon does have the best coverage across America. I use my Straight Talk phone for my occasional internet access when I’m not at my computer, I get unlimited data, talk and texts for $45 per month on Verizon’s network nationwide. So if you find that this is too expensive for you, then you can always resort to cell phone internet.
