Comprehensive Overview of Verizon's Legacy Data Plans
This article reviews Verizon Wireless's old data plans, highlighting their features, limitations, and recent upgrades. The company shifted from expensive, limited data packages to more flexible, unlimited options, offering better value for users. The review covers key plans and their enhancements, helping customers understand their options and choose suitable plans based on their data usage needs.
In July, Verizon Wireless overhauled its data plans, providing customers with more tailored options based on data usage. Previously, Verizon offered several plans with unlimited calls and texts, but data packages varied widely in cost and capacity.
Let’s review the previous plans and their changes. The old plans included:
Small (1GB for $30/month)
This was one of the pricier options for just 1GB of data. Now, for an extra $5, you get 1GB more.
Medium (3GB for $45/month)
Designed for moderate internet use like messaging and casual browsing, this plan now offers 4GB for $50.
Large (6GB for $60/month)
Once a popular choice, this plan was costly for 6GB but has been upgraded to 8GB at $70.
Extra Large (12GB for $80/month)
This expensive plan with 12GB was mostly for streaming enthusiasts. It has since been replaced by a more competitive unlimited data package.
XX-Large (18GB for $100/month)
Targeted at heavy data users, this plan was expensive for 18GB. The new unlimited plans now cater to these users' needs more effectively.
Verizon's previous data plans were costly for limited data. The updated plans aim to offer greater value, simplifying choice based on individual data demands.
