Verizon Wireless seems ready to offer its customers new phone and data pricing this year. The whole thing is supposed to happen starting with January 18 as it looks like Verizon is currently training its employees regarding the upcoming changes.
Big Red hasn’t officially announced the new plans but the official press release should arrive at some point in the following weeks. Verizon will apparently want to ditch the all-inclusive Premium plan while the Basic plan will become the Nationwide Talk and the Select Plan will become the Nationwide Talk & Text. A 30% drop in pricing for the unlimited version of these plans is going to be available but, again, nothing is yet official.
As for the new data plans you can expect a new $9.99 data plan that comes with 25MB limit and mobile email while a $29.99 per month plan will get you unlimited traffic and mobile email.
Another change will affect the 3G multimedia phones that are going to be sold by Verizon in the near future. It looks like all those phones will require a mandatory data plan of at least $9.99, but then again everyone wants some data plan with their 3G smartphone, don’t they?
Unlimited voice plans will cost $69.99 while the $89.99 version includes unlimited text messages too. Family plans are going to start at $119.99 per month for the first line and then $49.99 per line per month. Unlimited data and text options will be available too so you’ll have plenty to choose from in a few weeks.
As for new prepaid plans you can expect a new unlimited Talk & Text plan that will cost $94.99 per month. Cheaper versions will also be available at $84.99 and $64.99 per month.
What do you say, are you ready for Big Red’s newest phone and data plans?

So could we now use smartphones like the DROID on a prepaid plan since unlimited data is avilable for it for 29.99 the same as it would be for a plan? PLEASE tell me. I spoke to a rep at the store and they said yes. but to come back monday when they start the new plans. PLEASE RESPOND
There’s really no way to answer your question better than Verizon itself. If they said yes then it must be so although you might want to recheck on that Monday morning. In theory you should be able to bundle unlimited data with a prepaid plan but hey, Big Red is the place you want to go (again) for answers.
Ok, I have a netbook with the 250MB plan for $39.99. I assume that I will be able to pay $29.99 for the unlimited (5gb) when these changes take place?
