Verizon Turns On 'Always-On Data' for Prepaid Subs

Verizon Wireless added a feature called Always-On Data to its prepaid plans that will keep customers connected even if they use up all their LTE data. In short, people who subscribe to Verizon's prepaid smartphone plans will have access to an unlimited amount of free 2G surfing at 128Kbps once they've consumed their plan's LTE data bucket. Verizon says 2G surfing will be available through the rest of the billing cycle in order to keep customers connected, though many services, such as streaming mobile video, will be significantly curtailed. Verizon added Always-On Data to its prepaid plans on July 17. The move follows Verizon's recent price hike for its postpaid plans, which also provides unlimited 2G access for a $5 monthly fee.

About time

I think this, combined with adding the 2G option to post paid are great moves for Verizon customers and the business. No one wants to pay overages, but has the option to buy more data, but not be fully disconnected if they choose not too.
