Verizon to double data amounts for 4G smart phones

Verizon WirelessCustomers buying smart phones running on the Verizon Wireless Long Term Evolution 4G network will get double the data buckets for as long as they keep their level of service.

For example, someone who subscribes to the 2GB for $30 plan will receive 4GB instead. For $50 you can get 10GB instead of 5GB, and for $80 you can get 20GB instead of 10GB per month.

Existing customers (those who have upgraded their service or purchased a 4G smartphone within the last 14 days) will have to request the change. Verizon to double data amounts for 4G smart phones

Verizon Wireless apparently says the bigger data plans will stay in effect so long as users keep a smart phone plan.


The nice thing about a brand-new wireless network is that, at first, there aren't too many customers to clog up the pipes, allowing service providers to do these sorts of deals.
