Verizon's New Slimmed-Down Unlimited Calling Plans Add Choice and Value in 9 East Coast Markets
Unlimited Calling for as Little as $29.95 a Month Underpins Super Prices on Bundles of Calling, Internet and Entertainment
NEW YORK, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon customers in nine East Coast markets now have two new options for flat-rate, unlimited, any-distance calling. Customers can combine the new phone plans with Verizon high-speed Internet and DIRECTV services to meet or beat the best offers from cable.
Verizon Freedom Essentials offers unlimited local, regional and domestic long-distance calling with the three most popular calling features -- Home Voice Mail, Call Waiting and Caller ID -- for as little as $34.95 a month. Verizon Freedom Value, offering any-distance domestic calling but no calling features, starts at $29.95 in some markets and is the company's lowest-priced any-distance calling plan.
The new plans are available starting today in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia and Washington, D.C. The Freedom Value and Freedom Essentials plans were introduced last month in Florida, California and Texas and have proven very popular, bringing new long-distance customers to Verizon and promoting sales of service packages that include Verizon Online DSL and DIRECTV all-digital entertainment services.
With the new calling plans, customers can have unlimited calling at as little as $29.95 and entry-level DSL at up to768 megabits per second (Mbps) downstream at $14.95 for a combined cost as low as $44.90. DIRECTV service from Verizon can be added for a total of as little as $84.89 per month.
