Announced through the company's website, the unlimited prepaid plan costs $80 and features all you can eat talk, text and data. Like postpaid plans, the new offering includes unlimited talk to Mexico and Canada, as well as unlimited texting to over 200 international markets.
Similar to unlimited plans from T-Mobile, Verizon's prepaid service limits video streams to 480p resolutions. Mobile hotspot and tethering are also not included as part of the product terms, and user data access might be prioritized behind other customers depending on network conditions.
"In just months, Verizon has transformed its prepaid offerings to make it easier and more affordable for customers to get access to the best network at a great value, no matter how much data they need," said Tami Erwin, executive vice president of operations for Verizon. "This plan is all about giving our prepaid customers more choice."
The introduction of Verizon's unlimited prepaid tier comes months after the firm debuted 5GB and 10GB data plans priced at $50 and $70 per month, respectively. Verizon also offers a 3GB tier for $45 a month, 6GB for $60 a month, and a basic talk and text plan for $30 per month.
Verizon's prepaid unlimited plan is positioned alongside the carrier's Verizon Unlimited postpaid option, which was resurrected in February. Also priced at $80 per month, the subscription version includes mobile hotspot and tethering capabilities with a cap of 10GB, as well as higher bitrate video streaming.

Regarding the building: Isn't that scaffolding? It's probably under construction, though I agree it's not attractive.
than to get them to cough up lots more after enjoying coughing up nothing...
As has been pointed out, cash in hand is cash that can be earning,
and that's always sure to warm the cockles of any businessperson's "heart"...
That said, two things: 1. this plan isn't for me, no thank you; and 2. it seems like the telecoms think "competition" is best done by obfuscating what you get for your money. "If you pay this then, you'll have access to this, unless you don't, and these things that work if you use them properly. Oh, and tax and fees, because reasons." Yuck
I'm tempted to switch to t-mobile just because they say "$100. Chow down."
