Verizon Wireless has launched updated prepaid plans, under its INpulse brand. The new plans, INpulse Core, INpulse Plus and INpulse Power, charge customers a daily access fee only on the days of use and include Unlimited IN Calling to Verizon Wireless customers nationwide.
The carrier also has added V CAST as an optional service on all INpulse plans. Now INpulse customers can purchase and download songs from the V CAST music library directly from their V CAST-enabled handsets, customers also have access to more ringtones, ringback tones, Mobile Web 2.0, games and other applications, such as VZ Navigator using funds in their INpulse accounts.
"The changes in our INpulse prepay service are in response to customers who want to enjoy the features and benefits of Verizon Wireless service without making a long-term commitment," said Jeff Dietel, vice president of marketing for Verizon Wireless, in a statement. "These changes make prepay service more robust than ever and provide calling options that give customers access to the best of the best of Verizon Wireless services."
The new INpulse plans start at 99 cents per day (customers are only charged for the days they use service), with calls and text messages starting at 2 cents a minutes. Unlimited 'IN' calling, calls made to or received from any Verizon Wireless phone, are included with each new INpulse plan.
INpulse customers can choose from any handsets Verizon Wireless offers.
