It looks like , notorious for their expensive , will soon their . Some changes will only take place in name only but others such as unlimited will actually see a significant price drop. Overall, it seems easier to understand (a good thing) but we’re not sure if non-unlimited, smartphone users will actually be affected. The details, as we see them:

  • Current Basic plan is re-named Nationwide Talk
  • Current Select plan is re-named Nationwide Talk & Text
  • Unlimited plans will drop 30%, $69.99 for unlimited , $89.99 for unlimited +text
  • $29.99 for unlimited , $9.99 for 25MB
  • 3G Smartphones will require $29.99 data, 3G Multimedia phones (dumbphones) will require $9.99 or higher data
  • Single line plans go from 16 options to 6, Family plans go from 24 options to 8

Anytime a carrier gives a price drop, we’re all for it. So Big Red’s decision to overhaul their rate plans comes with our approval. Obviously, it’s still not nearly as good as Sprint or T-Mobile’s offerings, but you get the Verizon network with these options. What do you guys think about it? Still sticking with T-Mobile or Sprint? Or jumping ship? Let us know!

A lot more pictures of the new Verizon rate plans and a comparison to the other carriers after the jump!
