Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile Offer Unlimited Cell Phone Plan

Verizon Wireless said early on Tuesday it had started offering unlimited calls for $99.99 a month. AT&T followed with a similar plan, while T-Mobile USA went a step further by including unlimited texts as well as calls for the same price.

Verizon's plan is now in effect, T-Mobile's takes effect Thursday, and AT&T's goes live on Friday.

Verizon's $99.99 service includes domestic roaming and long distance voice service, as well as Internet access and support for mobile Web 2.0 use. A $119.99-per-month plan adds unlimited messaging for anyone in the U.S. and a premium $139.99-per-month plan includes VCast video, VZ Navigator and Mobile E-mail functions.

In comparison, AT&T's $99.99 plan provides unlimited voice calling, with a variety of messaging plans that start at $5 per month and go up to $35 per month for unlimited messaging on standard phones. Apple Inc.'s iPhone and smart phones are not considered standard wireless phones.
