Verizon's new Just Kids wireless service plan bundles parental controls and a restricted call list with 5GB of data, for $10/month less than the company's cheapest unlimited plan. The company announced the plan today, and it will be available starting this Thursday. It requires a family plan with at least one other line on an unlimited plan. The parental controls are Verizon's Smart Family Premium product, which is normally an extra $10/month. It tracks location, limits online time, and includes content filters. Just Kids limits calling and texting to 20 parent-defined contacts, although that usage is unlimited. The plan includes 5 GB of 4G LTE data, with unlimited low-speed data after the 5 GB is exhausted, eliminating overages. The Just Kids plan starts at $35/month on family plans with 4 or more lines. With 3 lines, Just Kids runs $45/month; with 2 lines, the Just Kids line is $55/month.
