Verizon USA Prepaid Mobile.

Verizon Wireless is the biggest cellular wireless company in the US. It was formed through a joint venture between two of the biggest communication power houses on planet earth being Verizon Communication and Vodafone.

Verizon Wireless employs close to 70 000 people and has revenues of around to $40 Billion USA a year. The company is based out of New Jersey , we at Prepaid Earth call them the beast from the east.

Straight up we need to make mention of their customer service satisfaction code – which is that if a customer uses their service for 30 days and then decides the service has been less then excellent – that customer will get his/her calls for those 30 days paid for by Verizon – WOW. This is a huge offer by Verizon and we commend them for it. It's no surprise that because of this Verizon has one of the lowest customer churn rates in the wireless cell phone business.

Verizon wireless operates on a legacy type CDMA network. Its data services include: Broadband access Cast Music for downloading music, listening too and watching music videos, Mobile TV, Premium SMS content.
It's our opinion that Verizon Wireless has a decent pre-paid, pay as you go product catalogue.

Their pay as you go offerings is called INPulse.With INpulse pay as you go, customers get Unlimited in calling (calls between Verizon prepaid mobile customers) which is free mobile to mobile calling.

The prepaid packages are named:
* INpulse Core
* INpulse Plus
* Inpulse power

Daily access rates apply to all three, which means that when you make a call – a daily rate will be applied to that day over and above the cost of the calls. This daily rate is only applied on days that customers make calls. The daily rates are 99 cents, 1.99 cents and 2.99 cents repsectivley.
The per minute call rates are 10, 5 and 2 cents respecstivley and billed per minute.
The same rates apply for text messaging.
All of Verizon's multimedia offerings are offered to prepaid customers as "add ons" meaning, at additional costs. The mix of games, music, mobile TV and more are impressive – please note that you will need a 3G enabled phone to receive some these enhanced broadband offerings.

Verizon's has been running a cell phone recycling campaign for the last 6 years and we at Prepaid Earth commend them for this successful program. To date Verizon has collected 4 million used cell phones and has in turn refurbished and donated them to domestic violence victims through Verizon's Hope Line Program.
