Verizon Offers 24GB Data Yearly For Life For XL Plans

Ever since carriers have redefined what the word "unlimited" means in their data plans, they have been scrambling to restore some consumer faith and offer subscribers more of that data, without getting into shaky unlimited territory. One such strategy is offering an additional serving of data per month, something that Verizon is doing once again. For those upgrading to or activating a new line on the carrier's XL or larger, which means XXL, data plans, they will be getting 2 GB of additional data per month for the rest of their life. Provided, of course, they remain on that plan, of course.

Verizon introduced its simplified size-based data plans last year to remove the confusion usually associated in choosing the right option. For the XL and XXL plans in this promo, Verizon offers 12 GB and 18 GB of data for $80 and $100 a month per line, respectively. Now it is adding the cherry on top of those, with 24 GB of free data yearly, spread into 2 GB monthly servings.

The positive fine print for those 2 GB buckets is that they can be spread among any number of devices in your account, whether they be tablet or connected device. And that 2 GB actually applies for every line added to that plan. A family of four would be entitled to have 8 GB of shareable data per month. And a single account can add up to 10 lines. Of course, the prices add up as well.

The promo, however, only applies to those upgrading or activating a new smartphone to the XL or XXL plans. That means that tablets and connected devices aren't eligible, though the data can be later on shared with them. Verizon is especially inviting those switching from "another provider with a poor network". You can take a gander who Verizon is referring to.
