For those of you who have a smartphone or tablet and hardly ever use it (Why?), there is a 75MB plan for $10.
To put that into real terms, here is what Verizon says you will probably get for 2 gigabytes: more than 1,000 emails, or more than 100 web pages, or more than 20 hours of streaming radio, or more than two hours of streaming video.
None of this applies, of course, if you only access the Web via WiFi.
But the moment you roam away from your favorite hot spots, Verizon will take a bite of your wallet for those bytes of data usage.
I don't know about you, but I go through well over 1,000 emails a month on my iPhone on my work and personal accounts. I would actually pay not to get about 95 percent of that.
And I stream music via Pandora, Rhapsody and my favorite radio stations regularly, probably more 10 to 15 hours on an average weekend.
I also watch or listen to the games of my favorite sports teams, which never run less than two hours, sometimes three or four hours.
