Verizon Wireless has announced that they have dropped the prices on most of their data plans by $10 per month. That’s a pretty major savings over the course of a year, especially if you have more than one phone on your plan. What I learned when I chatted with Verizon Customer Service is that you have to be on the “More Everything” plan. Other plans, such as the “Nationwide” plan, aren’t eligible. So you may or may not be able to save some money. If the thought of talking to customer service is unappealing, consider the online chat with Verizon. I got hold of someone immediately and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. (Not joking, it’s the truth.) If you want to see more deals like this, subscribe to Charlotte on the Cheap’s email list!
Now Verizon’s cheapest monthly shared data plan starts at $30 per month. The new prices — along with some additional data options — went into effect in early February. More Everything data plans and the newly added options are listed below.
500MB – Unchanged at $20
1GB – Now $30 – From $40
2GB – Now $40 – From $50
3GB – Now $50 – From $60
4GB – Now $60 – From $70
6GB – Now $70 – From $80
8GB – Now $85 – From $90
10GB – Unchanged at $100
12GB – Now $110 – New Option
14GB – Now $120 – New Option
16GB – Now $130 – New Option
20GB – Now $140 – From $150
Existing customers can opt to get an additional gigabyte of data for the same amount or get $10 off their monthly bills, but they have to set it up by visiting MyVerizon or calling Verizon’s customer service.
So check out your phones and make a call – you could save $10 a month. Thanks to RVA on the Cheap (That’s Richmond, VA) for the heads-up on this deal.
