Verizon Wireless today announced changes to its prepaid service plans. The entry-level plan includes unlimited talk and text, but no data (WiFi only) for $30 per month. The mid-range plan includes unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada and 2 GB of data for $45 per month, while the top-tier plan jumps to 5 GB for $60 per month. Previously, these plans offered 1 GB and 3 GB, respectively. Customers who sign up for Verizon's AutoPay service can snag an extra 1 GB of data on either of the latter two plans. Feature phone customers get unlimited talk, text, and mobile web for $30 per month. They may also step down to a combo of 300 voice minutes, texts, or multimedia messages and unlimited mobile web for $15 per month. The new service plans go into effect May 15.
