Verizon Wireless has announced a range of new price plans, branded
Share Everything Plans that enable customers to share their data
allowance across up to 10 mobile devices. Customers who purchase one data plan can share it with their HSPA or LTE devices, including smartphones
and tablets. Customers can choose from a number of data plans,
starting from US$50 per month for 1 GB of data, up to US$100 for 10 GB,
with no long-term contract requirement.
Verizon Wireless today announced Share Everything Plans that will
forever change the way customers purchase wireless services. Share
Everything Plans include unlimited voice minutes, unlimited text, video
and picture messaging and a single data allowance for up to 10 Verizon
Wireless devices. In addition, the Mobile Hotspot service on all the
devices is included in the Share Everything Plans at no additional
charge. The groundbreaking Share Everything Plans debut on June 28 and
will be available to new, as well as existing, customers who may wish
to move to the new plans.
“Customers asked, and today Verizon Wireless delivered an industry
first,” said Tami Erwin, vice president and chief marketing officer for
Verizon Wireless. “Share Everything Plans are the new standard for
wireless service. They are simple; customers no longer have to think
about their voice and message plans, because both are unlimited. Share
Everything Plans are convenient; customers purchase one data plan and
they share it with up to 10 mobile devices. And, they are worry-free;
customers can connect their 3G or 4G devices wherever and whenever they
want on America’s most reliable network.”
How Share Everything Plans Work
To get started on a Share Everything Plan, customers first select the
devices they want on their accounts. The next step is to choose a plan
that includes unlimited minutes, unlimited messages and a shared data
allowance that begins at 1 GB for $50. Customers adding a tablet on
their Share Everything Plans can do so for an additional $10, with no
long-term contract requirement. The following matrix shows pricing for
an account with several different devices, such as a smartphone, a
tablet and a basic phone, billed to the same individual.

There are separate plans for accounts with only basic phones, or
data only devices such as USB modems or Jetpack Mobile Hotspots at www.verizonwireless.com/ShareEverything.
“When developing these plans, we first asked customers what they
wanted in a wireless service plan. We also looked at the technology and
how customers were using it to manage their lives. And last, we took
into consideration the evolution of the technology and how customers
would use wireless in the future,” Erwin added. “Share Everything Plans
are the outcome of that research. They cover every device Verizon
Wireless offers, from basic phones to smartphones, from tablets to
Jetpacks and more. Share Everything Plans represent a tremendous shift
in how customers think about wireless service.”
Switch to a Share Everything Plan
Customers are free to keep their existing plans, but there is no fee
or contract extension to move to the new Share Everything Plans. To
help customers determine the best Share Everything Plan option, Verizon
Wireless has created an easy to use online tool at www.verizonwireless.com/ShareEverything.
