Verizon is set to debut a new set of data plans on October 28th that will usher in the era of metered usage for tablets as it will launch the iPad the same day, but maintain unlimited usage for smartphones in a bid to increase its attraction to users on tiered data plans, such as those on AT&T.
The new plans consist of $15/month for 150MB with $0.10/MB overage or $29.99 for unlimited data per month, easing fears of AT&T alike tiered data acces for smartphones.
The MiFi-iPad bundle will consist of $20/$35/$50 plans for 1GB/3GB/5GB monthly access respectively with an overage rate of $10 per gigabyte and an $80 monthly plan for 10GB with the same overage rate.
New MiFi, FiveSpot and netbook/modem customers will have $50/5GB and $80/10GB monthly plans. The MiFi and FiveSpot will also support the new tablet oriented $35/3GB plan as part of a 90-day promotion with the overage rate also priced at 1GB for $10.
Feature phone plans will now be $1.99/MB, $15 for 150MB/month, or $29.99 for unlimited data. The current $9.99/25MB/month option will be discontinued. USB modem pricing remains at $39.99 for 250MB or $59.99 for 5GB.

10-18-2010 09:28 PMGlad they're keeping unlimited for the same price. I think I'll move my girlfriend to the $15 plan since she doesnt use the internet nearly as much as I do.

10-18-2010 09:31 PMIf this holds, and the tiered plans are ONLY for the tablets, then this is good news for everyone -- even the people who will complain.

10-18-2010 10:14 PMGlad to see Verizon isn't stupid. To offer no unlimited plan would be a big mistake. People would jump to Sprint in a heart beat if they use a lot of data. If my dad was to ever join Verizon, he would easily pick the $15 plan as he would rarely use data other than e-mail and maybe google maps. Though I have to say, for $15, I would rather see at least a gig or two.

10-18-2010 10:34 PMAlso very glad they are keeping unlimited the same price. Is it just me or do the tab pricing plans seem pretty expensive?
Anytime someone dares me to walk a mile in their shoes I do it! Because, hey free shoes and I am now a mile away from that person!

10-18-2010 10:51 PMThey are, but it's to encourage people to use their tablets on WiFi instead of the 3G. They expect a lot of streaming video on those tabs, an that's VERY expensive.
