Verizon axing low-end data plans, making $30 unlimited data plan 3G only


With user’s appetites for data growing as smartphones become more prevalent, it kinds makes sense that 150MB plans would eventually go the way of the Broad-faced Potoroo.

The peeps over at Verizon clearly agree with me, as Engadget have landed their hands on a shot of their upcoming range of data plans, and, as you can see, it’s unlimited or nothing for all future smartphones (including this one).

But the lack of a tiny allowance isn’t the only thing of note in this crimson image. Note the wording for the unlimited plan: “Feature Phones and 3G Smartphones”. The upshot of this? All you lucky folks riding on 4G/LTE waves won’t get access to this plan.

Yup, premium speeds come at premium prices, my friends.
