Thought this was worth an FYI...Pretty impressive....I am a Blackberry VZN customer and this is GREAT news.

We've gotten a flood of tips that the notoriously miserly Verizon is lining things up to offer unlimited calling plans. Starting Tuesday the 19th (of this month) should see the following plans sprout up:

* $100 - Nationwide Unlimited (voice)
* $120 - Nationwide Select Unlimited (voice, SMS, MMS)
* $140 - Nationwide Premium (voice, SMS, MMS, VZNav, VCAST, email)
* $150 - Nationwide Email and Messaging (voice, SMS, MMS, and data)
* $170 - Nationwide Global Email and Messaging (voice, SMS, MMS, and international data)
* $200 - Family plan with two lines, $100 per additional line.

That's not all though. There are even more perks and benefits in store for premium-paying unlimited users:

* 5GB cap on data is out
* No contract extension for current customers
* Available on one or two year agreements
* All plans include Mobile Web 2.0 portal access (skip it)
* No roaming or long distance

 

Within the next couple weeks I was probably going to pick up the LG Voayger so this sounds awesome. I have one question I'm not sure you will know anything about though. Lately the touchscreen Blackberry has been making waves, but no one knows anything about release date....any info??
