BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Verizon Wireless today announced new INpulse prepay plans designed to fit customers’ lifestyles – from the occasional to the most frequent caller – with rates as low as 2 cents per minute for voice calls and text messages.

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. Customers may select any of the new plans beginning November 1.

All of the new INpulse plans provide customers with many of the same service options enjoyed by Verizon Wireless customers who sign annual contracts. Key to the new plans is the ability of customers to pair the service with V CAST-capable phones and purchase over-the-air directly from their handsets any of the 2.1 million songs in the V CAST Music library. They can also purchase Ringtones, Ringback tones, Mobile Web 2.0^SM, games and other applications, such as VZ Navigator^SM 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 marketing for Verizon Wireless. ????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 – and the nation’s most reliable network.????
