Verizon Offers Per-Day EV-DO Plan To Laptop Users
Mar 29, 2006, 12:38 PM by (staff)
Verizon today announced it would add a new price plan for users of laptops with built-in EV-DO data access. Laptop owners who do not already have a monthly plan can pay $15 for 24 hours of high-speed wireless access. They can sign up for the 24 hour plan and login directly from their laptop. Verizon expects this plan to convince owners of EV-DO enabled laptops to subscribe to monthly plans after trying the service for a day, but it could also be a boon to infrequent users. EV-DO data service costs $60-80 per month on Verizon, those who use their connection only a few days per month may choose to continue using the per-day plan. The 24 hour access package is available to owners of the following laptops with built in EV-DO data cards: Dell Latitude D620 and D820, Dell Precision M65, Lenovo Thinkpad Z60, T60 and X60, HP Compaq nc6140 and nc6320.

You're all correct that the monthly service package is cheaper than paying per day.
But only if you're going to use the service 4 times or more during each month.
This way the people who don't need it don't have to pay for an entire month to get it.
What you all are griping about is the same thing that Hotels, Motels, Convenience stores & restaraunts have done for years! I don't hear you whining about them!
Some of you all on here really need to get out more!!!!! LOL!!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

$15 A DAY!!
OK, I can see that there is a very small market who MAY find this useful, but why not drop it down to $5 or $10 and watch the weekend users jump on board. Bad move IMO VZW.
what a rip off!!!
Lets see, the average month has 30.41 days in it, their data service is $79/month (w/ no voice plan attached) so that's $2.59/day which means this $15/day thing is 579% higher cost than what they ...

but they will make tons of cash and it will convince some people to try the even higher monthly plan due to the fact its a better "value"
Everyone complains (with good cause) but VZW just keeps making money.

Understand,
Considering those laptops are in the range of $2,000 - $3,000 a better option would have been to INCLUDE a free month of the service with the purc ...
