Verizon Offers Smartphones Unlimited Plan
April 14, 2008 | by Geoff Duncan
Verizon is extending its range of unlimited pricing plans, offering business smartphone users unlimited Web and email access for $29.99 a month.
Following up on last month's announcements of unlimited voice calling plans, Verizon Wireless has announced a new unlimited Email and Web for Smartphones plan. For $29.99 a month, business users will be able to tap into up to 10 email accounts hosted by a variety of services (including Yahoo, AOL, and Windows Live), along with unlimited data service for Web browsing; however, the Email and Web plan does not support picking up mail from Microsoft Exchange servers, which may dismay some of its target business customers.
"Customers using Email and Web on their Smartphones can use these tools to stay on top of news from their favorite Internet sites or remotely and seamlessly interact with friends or clients via e-mail," said Verizon Wireless VP of marketing Robert Miller, in a statement.
Verizon Wireless is currently offering the plan on its SMT5800 and XV6800 smartphones, along with the Motorola Q9m, but plans to add support for additional smartphones in coming months. Verizon Wireless already offers an email and Web plan for BlackBerry devices.
The unlimited Web and email plan is an effort to make Verizon's data plans more competitive with data plans from other providers; the company's existing unlimited data plans were typically in the range of $45 per month.

As of May 23, 2008, this data plan is $44.99 per month, not $29.99 per month, or at least Verizon employees did not tell me about the $29.99 per month plan while they had me on the phone discussing why they would not sell me an XV-6800 without the $45 per month data plan!
