Verizon rolls out new plans, sucks if you’re a newbie

Verizon Wireless launched into a full-scale overhaul of their service plans today, and the results for consumers are mixed. Here are the main points:
* They’re now called “Nationwide Plans”
* Everybody now gets “Mobile Web,” which used to cost $5.
* Data connections that used to take minutes out of your bucket, no longer do.
* But you’re charged $1.99/MB for some data services.
* If you want to switch, you don’t have to re-up your contract
In other words, if you have been a cheap bastard using your cell phone as a dialup modem, which used to only cost you your minutes; that perk is gone and now you will be charged for them. So that bootleg of the latest blockbuster you wanted to see, forget about downloading it and just buy it from that shady guy on the streets.
