Packages start at $30 for 2GB of data, $50 for 5GB of data, and $80 for 10GB of data
After months of speculation, Verizon Wireless has finally confirmed that it will be shifting to a tiered data plan structure we all knew was coming.
Android enthusiast site Droid Life reports that future Verizon subscribers will no longer have an unlimited smartphone data option starting July 7th. Instead, new customers will be forced to choose one of three tiered data options: 2GB for $30 per month, 5GB for $50 per month or 10GB for $80 per month.
Those looking for tethering will have to add $20 to each of those plans, which works out to 4GB for $50 per month, 7GB for $70 per month or 12GB for $100 per month. Overages on will run $10 per gigabyte.
Droid-Life also reported that Verizon will charge the same rates for 3G and 4G LTE data plans, so subscribers interested in 4G smartphones will not have to worry about paying a premium for data.
Finally, it’s also worth noting that current Verizon customers will not be forced to switch to the newer plans when their contract is up.
The move by Verizon leaves Sprint as the last major American carrier to offer unlimited data.
