Verizon are rumored to be preparing a new brace of unlimited calling and data plans, ready for announcement and launch on Tuesday this week,the carrier is allegedly poised to offer several tiers that offer increasing amounts of unlimited service. A comparatively basic plan will start at $100 per month for unlimited calling in the US, without roaming charges; $120, $140, $150, and $170 plans will add messaging, V CAST video and VZ Navigator, e-mail, and ultimately international data to the plan. Family plans should also be available that maintain similar rates for each additional line.

The switch should also make at least on-device data a staple of service and eliminate the often-cited 5GB data cap on most data use. While no received tips have clarified whether the plans will extend to include tethering — the act of using a phone as a data modem for a computer — the received tips point to unrestricted data use through Verizon’s portal application when supported by any given device.
