No cellular data? No more Verizon prepaid service, as Big Red chooses to strike back at AT&T’s recent GoPhone plan add-on improvements in unusual fashion, pulling the plug on entry-level smartphone and basic phone options.
While existing users shouldn’t be impacted by the controversial changes, new VZW prepaid account signers can no longer opt for unlimited talk and text, plus Wi-Fi-only internet access, at $30 a month.
Instead, you’ll have to either cough up $45 every 30 days, and get a 2GB high-speed allotment, as well as always-on data, or pay an extra 15 bucks for a grand total of 5GB LTE web surfing. Both smartphone plans of course include unlimited US talk and text, unrestricted Mexico and Canada messaging, plus mobile hotspot support, while $60 also hooks you up with unlimited voice communication to America’s southern and northern neighbors.
If for whatever reason you’re still thinking of activating a dumb phone on Verizon prepaid, the lone monthly basic plan standing sets you back $30, unlimited talk, text, mobile web and all. Previously, you could elect to cut your bill in half, settling for just 300 talk and text units.
At the end of the day, AT&T’s revised GoPhone pricing structure is a little lower, but Verizon’s prepaid device roster ranges from new iPhones to Pixels, Galaxy S7 Edge, Note 5, Moto Z Play, HTC Desires, and the Moto G4 Play.

Technically, this top-of-the-line no-annual-contract option includes unlimited everything, but only your first 6 gigs of data are accessible at “high speed”, after which you need to make do with a max velocity of 128Kbps. Or pay up to extend your 4G LTE allotment, available for one plan term rollover.
Meanwhile, the $45 “unlimited” monthly AT&T GoPhone plan will continue to drop speeds after 3GB consumption, unless you sign up for a $10 add-on good for 1 more gig of data, up from 500MB before.
Then you have the $30 plan, which still comes without any sort of data allocation, letting you however buy 250MB instead of 100 for $5. Finally, $2 a day covers unlimited nationwide talk and text, with 100MB data packages setting you back an additional $1.
