Verizon today announced that it’s improving its prepaid plans by adding a new $40 option. It says that this new data buck is going to make it simpler for prepaid customers to enjoy the benefits of its network. The carrier is offering a 2GB prepaid plan for $40 per month. Customers also get unlimited international texting from the United States to more than 200 countries as well as the ability to carry over any unused data to the next month.

Verizon’s prepaid plan lineup includes a $50 option that offers 5GB data and a $70 plan which offers 10GB of LTE data. The plans include Always-On data, international texting as well as CarryOver data with on-time payment. Prepaid customers can also opt for a $30 basic phone plan with unlimited talk and text.

The carrier does point out that once the data allowance is spent, customers will be knocked down to 128kbps speeds for the rest of the month. This will obviously impact the functionality of data apps like audio and video streaming services.

Those who are not interested in the most coverage can opt for prepaid plans from Verizon’s rivals. T-Mobile offers prepaid plans starting at $40 per month with 3GB of data and so does Sprint. AT&T has a $40 plan with 4GB of data.
