Verizon's prepaid plans get a much-needed data boost

Following in T-Mobile's and AT&T's footsteps, Verizon - the nation's largest carrier by subscriber count - announced earlier today that its prepaid plans now include more data at the same price.

Verizon's $45 prepaid plan, which used to include 1GB of data, was bumped to 2GB of data. The $60 plan also gets a similar bump, to 5GB of data up from 3GB. On top of these standard data buckets, customers can add 500MB for $5, 1GB for $10, or 3GB for $20.

The new plans continue to include unlimited voice and text, and just as before, Verizon will also throw in an extra GB of data if you're willing to schedule automatic payments for your prepaid plan.

Verizon's updated prepaid plans are pretty much on par with those currently offered by AT&T's GoPhone prepaid services. T-Mobile's prepaid offering, just like its postpaid one, is more affordable than what AT&T and Verizon currently have on the table, and that's before counting the extra benefits such as free music and video streaming and free data roaming in Canada and Mexico.
