Its become instinct to answer I need a new phone with Well, when is your contract up?
However, thats coming to an end at Verizon.
Rather than signing up for single or family lines, youll pay for a shared bucket of data.
That pool of data is shared between all the devices on your plan.
Of course, that charge is for the data itself.
You also have to pay a fee to add a line to each plan.
Theres no difference between single or family plan pricing, but the charges go up per unit.
The costs for each pop in of machine are as follows:
$20 per smartphone.
$10 per tablet.
$5 per smartwatch.
Keep in mind that these fees are on top of any monthly payment plans for your machine.
A fact Verizon surely knows.
