Verizon is offering a new set of INpulse prepaid plans. There are three basic offerings that charge daily access fees between $0.99 and $2.99 only when the service is used, plus per-minute fees. INpulse customers will also have access to V CAST-compatible phones and services, such as navigation or Verizon's music store. Most phones offered by Verizon Wireless can be paired with the INpulse prepaid plans, with the exception of PDAs and smartphones, and will receive the same rebates as those bought by post-paid customers. The plans will be available starting November 1.

Whoa, back it up there... same rebates??

Maybe I'm not fully understanding this, but does this mean I can sign up for an INpulse phone and get 2 year contract pricing? And moreover, can we use these phones on PostPaid now? (I smell a loophole)
The phones will be at the 1 year pricing, which is typically $50 more than the 2-year agreement price. You can use the phones on postpay after they are used on prepay if you want.

Phones bought for InPulse will be priced at One Year or Outright price. Most indirects are going to sell it to you at outright price.

Also, Inpulse phones need to be on a ACTIVE prepaid line for at least six months before it can be ported over.

Will they ever get text messaging plans like At&t's GoPhones?

Not for awhile, I dont think. There are 3 prepaid plans though, and the most expensive prepay plan has less expensive prepay rates.

Good for minimal use and texters, too bad for EZPay

I really liked EZPay, since it was something pretty simple to manage. oh well, it's not like I make much money off of prepay anyway...
None of the cell phone companies do, the employees don't get paid much off of them, and most of the time the consumer doesn't save money off of them.

It's great if you hate contracts and are willing to pay more money than a deactivation fee would c...

Acting on Inpulse

A ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ s a semi-proud InPulse User(Sucky credit) I can say that the new plans are at the very least BITTER-SWEET. Since I use My Phone almost always for work, and every person I call is On VZW the $0.99 a day charge was peanuts I mostly went crazy with the Game down loads and Mobile Web ( I have an Mobile web Capable Phone).


My opinions of the 3 plans are:


Core= At the same level as the current plan but NO NIGHT MINUTES! this sucks majorly for some folks. (Me it might work out as you pay a steady rate and very low cost. ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

Plus= just a step above the current plan You pay twice as much for half of current minute rate. not Bad, no daily charge so you end up spending about the same. ( Me if I were to switch this woul...

Be REALLY Nice if they got rid of the Dollar-A-Day Access Charge...

... since that's what's keeping most of the prepay people I know off of VZW prepay. โ˜น๏ธ

Even if minutes were priced higher, like 15 cents a minute flat rate, ppl just do not like the dollar-a-day (or more) 'daily access' charges... they just sound like so much BS.

Guess Page Plus is still the way to go in prepay. Swing and a miss, Verizon. And I say that as someone who's on a VZW contract currently. ๐Ÿ˜•
