Unlimited and 25MB Data Plans Available at Verizon Wireless Now
This is great news for pre-paid Verizon Wireless customers, with the carrier introducing unlimited and 25MB data options for their SIMs. Available from today in-store (or online on September 28th), the plans will only work with (most of their) 3G smartphones—which makes sense, really. The unlimited plan comes in at $30 per month, and for the 25MB plan, it's a tenner a month.

So you can stop worrying about data...

25MB? That's laughable.

25MB data? Who buys a smart phone to only use 25MB of data? What happens if you use up all 25MB? Will it keep going over & you pay by the MB or will it block data after 25MB? That would be so hard not to use more than 25MB data with these phones..

I bought my 12 y.o. stepson a Samsung Reality back around the beginning of August and it came with a mandatory $10 data plan (25MB). He took 2 weeks to blow that up and I'm looking at an additional $6 so far with 2 days left. So they've had the plan for at least that long.

And yes, they are charging per MB for EACH overage use. So he uses .1 MB or 1 MB & I get charged $0.20 each time.

So Verizon sells phones with YouTube and Email apps (pre-installed), but expects people to be happy with 25mb? Do you realize the average non-computer-literate phone user is not going to realize that approximately 5 YouTube videos, and about half a day's worth of email/BBM/AIM, use up your entire month's data .

Funny you say that, I got my son who is 11 the same Samsung Reality but in red with the $9.99 data plan for 25mb in July not thinking and figured he wouldent use it much, boy was i wrong. My bill for the first month after was $80 dollers more. They charge you 20 cents i think for every MB you go over. So i called verizon to have them lock the phone down, meaning no more internet on the phone and what not for awhile.

If you call them and block internet/data, is the $10 charge removed from your bill?
