As you may have heard today,
Verizon is taking care of new customers for the use of
data. Big Red has been planning this for some time now, following in the footsteps of AT & T and T-Mobile (Sprint is the only major provider to offer free unlimited data). Those who already have contracts with Verizon with unlimited data plans have unlimited acquired their status, but newcomers will be required to choose a pricing plan at three levels: $ 30 for 2GB of data, $ 50 for 5 GB and $ 80 for 10GB.
Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney said 95 percent of customers currently use less than 2 gigabytes of data, but CNET notes that with 2 gigabytes of data, a client can listen to a little over 2 hours of music or 35 minutes of power video every day for a month. It's not much! To help cushion the blow, Adriana Lee Business Insider has developed some practical tips for managing your data. Among them: Download apps, games, music, podcasts, the only Wi-Fi, monitor applications that use location data in the background, and check your email accounts and set them to download the manual.
