Verizon is looking to change its family share data plans for 2012, according to a leaked document. We’ve heard about this before and we hope it’s true.
In the new document, Big Red is said to be leaving training material for an update that shows a new section labeled “account level data plans.” The largest wireless provider in the United States is working on a change in the shared account that’ll charge for data allowance and a 9.99 charge per line.
This leak suggest that there may be a new family data plan coming down the pipeline, and if this turns out to be true it will put some pressure on its biggest competitor AT&T. Ma Bell remains mum on its own data sharing plan.
Honestly, this kind of pricing is customer-friendly to all subscribers, as it’s lower than most wireless providers out there. As a Sprint customer, additional lines on my shared plan cost $19.99, so VZ’s $9.99 price point would be received well by most consumers. If Verizon were to roll out this plan it would make folks more comfortable when it comes to getting a smart phone, especially for those who don’t want to pay 30 bucks a month for data. The question is, how will this work out for people grandfathered into other data plans?
