I don't think a lot of people will be too interested in that data plan. The 1 GB will be the better draw at $60, in my opinion, that people likely will be pushed towards. Still, not bad for consumers who want an affordable option if they are able to keep data useage down. Even the average Joe, I would believe, could blow through 250mb/month just by using social networking.

I know a few people who use less than 250mb a month. It is a good deal for those who are almost always on wifi. This is meant to compete with the low end offerings of other carriers. Att offers a 300mb data plan, tmobile 500mb (though unlimited at 2g)



At $60,the loyalty plan with unlimited talk and text and 2gb data is a better deal than the 1gb plan at the same price.

Can you tether for free with the loyalty plan?

Depends. Some have reported that they could, others no. But I would assume worse case.

The Verizon $45/mo plan is competitive for those who want a smartphone with unlimited talk text, but need minimal data (250mb or less). The $60 loyalty plan with unlimited talk text and 2gb data is also competitive.
