US wireless carrier Verizon has announced plans replace almost all of its existing phone schemes with new pricing plans that will encourage customers to connect their non-phone devices, such as tablets and PCs, to the company’s network.

The new plans allow subscribers and their families to share a monthly data allowance over a maximum of ten devices. The new approach reflects the carrier’s intention to continue growing as nearly every citizen in the country already owns a phone.

The main change in the new plans is the elimination of metered voice and text, both of which have been made unlimited.

The new "Share Everything" plans will become available of 28th of June. If used only with a smartphone, the new pricing plans will be lower than for existing plans with unlimited calling and texting plans, but higher than current plans with limited calling and texting.

From June 28, a Verizon customer with one smartphone will receive unlimited texts and minutes along with 2GB of data for $60, while the smartphone will cost $40. The plan totals at $100. Adding a tablet to the plan will cost just $10 more. But, you will have to pay additional $10 for using the 2GB of data on both devices.

Unlimited text and minutes plus 2GB of data along for two smartphones will cost $140. You will be able to add a tablet and enjoy 2GB of data for $150.

Verizon customers who use texts and data a lot will benefit from the new plans, while those who use texts and data frugally will be losers under the new plans.
