Verizon Launches Prepaid Mobile Broadband Plans

November 6th, 2009

Laptop-toting road warriors who don’t want to commit to a long-term mobile broadband data plan might be interested in a new offering from Verizon Wireless. On Thursday, the wireless carrier rolled out three new mobile data plans as part of the company’s prepaid portfolio.

The plans let customers tap into the mobile broadband speed they need on Verizon’s 3G network with daily, weekly or monthly pay-as-you-go access. The plans will be available beginning Nov. 15.

“As more and more people begin to use these devices in different ways, all of a sudden it’s not just the device. The network and the ability to connect to the network becomes very important,” said Michael Gartenberg, a vice president at Interpret. “Verizon has a very strong reputation for their coverage and connectivity. Prepaid mobile broadband is going to be more important going forward, particularly for people who don’t need it on a daily basis and don’t necessarily want to pay a monthly fee.”
