It appears that I was wrong, but not entirely wrong. The "mobile broadband" plans charge $50 (or even $100)/gig overage. These are the plans required for tethering-like services. "5 GB overage rate is $0.05/MB and 250 MB overage rate is $0.10/MB" http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobilebroadband/?page=plans http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobilebroadband/?page=pla... The "Voice and Email" plans seem to be the ones required for Droid: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=planFirst&action=viewPlanList&sortOption=priceSort&typeId=3&subTypeId=49&catId=448 http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=pla... "Anyone using more than 5 GB per line in a given month is presumed to be using the service in a manner prohibited above, and we reserve the right to immediately terminate the service of any such person without notice" Ok, so there's no data overage charge, but Verizon has the right to suspend your account. This is yet another example of how confusing terms prevent sales. Compare the complexity of Verizon's offerings to Twilio's pricing page: http://www.twilio.com/pricing-signup http://www.twilio.com/pricing-signup I'm not a Twilio customer, but I probably would be if I had a need. Perhaps Verizon believes that confusion allows for better price discrimination?
